Immortal Mortal

Chapter 789: Battling A Dao Emperor

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

It hadn"t even been an entire incense"s time since Mo Wuji left when a grey s.h.i.+p stopped outside Cosmos Edge.

They"re the G.o.ds Race"s Dao Emperor Wu w.a.n.g and Dao Emperor Lun Pa…" The moment the people within the shop emerged, they were immediately recognised by the people outside Cosmos Edge. These people all hurried to move to the side to make way for them.

The G.o.ds Race was one of the most powerful races in Heaven"s Beyond Cosmos. Moreover, besides Wu w.a.n.g and Lun Pa, there were still two other Dao Emperors within the s.h.i.+p. Everyone all knew the reason why they had come.

The G.o.ds Race"s Young Lord Wu Li had been killed in Cosmos Edge. It would be weird if the G.o.ds Race didn"t flip out.

Wu w.a.n.g, together with the wood-bark-like Lun Pa, walked into Cosmos Edge. The other two Dao Emperor experts remained outside Cosmos Edge, clearly in case Mo Wuji tried to escape.

"Feng Huang greets Dao Emperor Wu w.a.n.g and Dao Emperor Lun Pa." Just as Wu w.a.n.g entered Cosmos Edge, Feng Huang came to welcome him with a smile plastered on his face.

"Dao Lord Feng, I wonder if that Mo Wuji is present?" Wu w.a.n.g"s voice was cold; he was seemingly prepared to pummel Feng Huang under his fist.

Feng Huang sighed and said, "He was determined to leave. Even I was unable to have him stay."

Feng Huang only realised that the G.o.ds Race definitely wouldn"t need half a day to arrive sometime after Mo Wuji left. The reason why Mo Wuji had been so anxious to leave should also be because Mo Wuji had guessed the contents of the flying messenger sword. Honestly, Feng Huang was very impressed with Mo Wuji, to actually be able to guess the contents so accurately. At the same time, he felt slight disdain towards Wu w.a.n.g. If Wu w.a.n.g had not sent the flying messenger sword, then he, Feng Huang, would have unconsciously helped them retain Mo Wuji.

Actually, Wu w.a.n.g"s predictions were right: Mo Wuji wanted to leave Cosmos Edge immediately after killing Wu Li. If not for him, Mo Wuji would have left a long time ago.

It was because he told Mo Wuji that the experts from the G.o.ds Race wouldn"t be returning temporarily. That caused Mo Wuji to stay for a little longer. However, that Wu w.a.n.g decided to be an extra; he sent a flying messenger sword over and this sword was coincidentally noticed by Mo Wuji.

"What?" Wu w.a.n.g instantly exploded with killing intent. He stared coldly at Feng Huang and said, "Could it be that Dao Lord Feng treats my G.o.ds Race"s words like farts?"

Feng Huang sneered in his heart, but his tone remained calm as he said, "Dao Emperor, these words of yours are inappropriate. I, Feng Huang, am merely a Dao Lord; I’m unable to control the actions of others. However, I, Feng Huang, have done the best I can. I do not ask for Dao Emperor Wu to thank me, but I’m not willing to accept Dao Emperor Wu"s anger either."

With that, Feng Huang threw a crystal ball to Wu w.a.n.g.

The flames of anger within Wu w.a.n.g"s hearts cooled down. He understood what Feng Huang was implying: It"s true that your G.o.ds Race is strong, but I, Feng Huang, am not a person of your G.o.ds Race. It"s already an act of favour for me to help you, and it really wouldn"t be a big deal even if I don"t.

At this instant, Wu w.a.n.g sent his spiritual will into the crystal ball. He saw that when Mo Wuji left, Feng Huang had tried to get him to stay, but to no avail. Wu w.a.n.g also knew that it wouldn"t be practical to think that Feng Huang would battle with Mo Wuji because of them. Moreover, Wu w.a.n.g was also feeling some regret. He knew that it was his flying messenger sword which made Mo Wuji so bent to leave. How would he know that Mo Wuji would not immediately leave after killing Wu Li? If he did, he definitely wouldn"t have sent Feng Huang that flying messenger sword.

"Just now, I was too agitated because of Wu Li"s death. I request Dao Lord Feng to tell me: where did that Mo Wuji go?" Wu w.a.n.g inhaled deeply, then he clasped his fists and asked.

In his heart, there was still huge amounts of anger that were enough to fill three oceans and four seas. However, if he didn"t catch Mo Wuji, he had no means of venting that anger.

Feng Huang said apologetically, "That Mo Wuji said he was finding someone. I didn"t expect that he would immediately leave Cosmos Edge. He left using Ou Zhaohe’s immortal concealment boat."

"I wonder if Dao Lord Feng knows of this Mo Wuji"s origins?" Even though Mo Wuji had just destroyed Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, the G.o.ds Race couldn"t be bothered to care about such a matter.

But now that Mo Wuji had killed Wu Li, Wu w.a.n.g naturally wanted to investigate on Mo Wuji.

Even though Feng Huang had some guesses on Mo Wuji"s origins, he still said, "I"m truly not sure. I only chatted with that Mo Wuji for a little bit."

Feng Huang was clear that Mifei Trade Union would definitely have investigated on Mo Wuji"s origins. However, while he had not actually befriended Mo Wuji, he didn"t want to offend such an expert.

"Dao Emperor Wu, I have investigated that Mo Wuji briefly. He should be of the Human Race. Dao Emperor Wu only needs to question Zi Changluo to know of this person"s origins." Leng Ren’s voice came timely.

"Human Race." Wu w.a.n.g snorted coldly, "Since he"s from the Human Race, then the Human Race no longer needs to exist. Lun Pa, help me to gather my troops. First, we"ll occupy Very High Heavens Immortal Cosmos City; then, we"ll directly destroy the Very High Heavens. As for the Immortal World, we can treat it as a place for our G.o.ds Race to rear our cattle."

"Yes." That old wood-bark-like man behind Wu w.a.n.g promptly responded.

Before this wood bark could turn, one of the G.o.ds Race experts, that was stationed at the entrance of Cosmos Edge previously, rushed over hurriedly. He said to Wu w.a.n.g, "Grand Elder, news had just arrived. It says that Mo Wuji was heading in the direction of the Shattered Ruins. From the looks of it, he wants to hide within the Shattered Ruins."

"Very good. We will temporarily postpone the subjugation of the Human Race. We will catch that Mo Wuji first. Lun Pa, chase after him; we will follow suit." Wu w.a.n.g’s voice was cold.

"Yes." Lun Pa responded promptly. Suddenly, a pair of wings grew out of his back. With a strong flap, Lun Pa disappeared without a trace.

Lun Pa’s speed was the fastest, which was why Wu w.a.n.g sent him to stop Mo Wuji.

…

The map in Mo Wuji’s hands was obtained from Wu Li. It could be said that his time in Cosmos Edge had been very fruitful.

There’s no need to talk about how he obtained more than 3 million green crystals from Mifei Trade Union. From Wu Li’s ring alone, there was close to a million green crystals and countless of treasures. There were even some jade boxes which he had yet to open.

Additionally, there were still the rings of those three Immortal Emperors from the G.o.ds Race. He didn’t have the time to open them yet. That would have to wait till he reaches the Shattered Ruins and settles down.

The immortal concealment boat was a Grade 9 flying treasure; so its speed was very fast. In a short two hours, Mo Wuji found the Shattered Ruins positional imprint on the jade letter map.

Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. He had seen the introduction of the Shattered Ruins before; he knew that as long as he entered the Shattered Ruins, the G.o.ds Race might not necessarily be able to find him even if they sent in all their experts.

"Brother Da Huang, how long more till we are able to enter…" Yan Yuerong didn’t even manage to finish her sentence when a blast of killing intent directly slammed against Mo Wuji’s immortal concealment boat. Even though the boat was installed with some defensive arrays, under the pressure of that immense killing intent, Yan Yuerong was momentarily unable to talk.

Not good. Mo Wuji had battled with Wu Li and the three Immortal Emperors before. At this moment, how could he not tell that this was a peak expert from the G.o.ds Race?

"Yanrong, hurry and control the immortal concealment s.h.i.+p. Go into the Shattered Ruins, find a remote place to hide and wait for me. If I don’t return, stay in there and cultivate…"

Mo Wuji didn’t even finish his sentence as he charged out of the s.h.i.+p; his Half Moon Weighted Halberd conjured a halberd light which was tens of thousands of meters long which slashed towards the oncoming person.

When Yan Yuerong finally reacted, the immortal concealment s.h.i.+p had already been blasted far away from the violent immortal elemental energy. Within her mind, there was suddenly the spiritual will instructions on how to control the s.h.i.+p, and a jade letter map of Shattered Ruins was at her feet.

Yan Yuerong instantly reacted. If she stayed behind, she would only be a burden for her Brother Da Huang. She did not hesitate to control the immortal concealment s.h.i.+p and sped towards the Shattered Ruins.

Seeing Yan Yuerong leaving decisively, Mo Wuji sighed in relief.

"Boom!" Mo Wuji’s halberd light ruptured a huge silver fissure within the void. However, this fissure was easily destroyed with a single punch. As the halberd light exploded, it looked like fireworks had been set off within the void.

"No wonder why you were able to kill three Immortal Emperors and the Young Lord of my G.o.ds Race. You truly do have some methods." An old man whose skin was like a tree bark appeared in front of Mo Wuji. His voice seemed to have come out of a broken flute; it was extremely hard to hear.

On his back, was a pair of wings. Clearly, these wings were the reason why he was able to chase after Mo Wuji so quickly.

Mo Wuji’s heart sunk; he started to suspect whether Feng Huang had intentionally tried to retain him. If Feng Huang hadn’t told him that the experts from the G.o.ds Race wouldn’t return for the time being, he would have left the Cosmos Edge right after coercing some green crystals from Mifei Trade Union. He wouldn’t have wasted his time with West River Religious Order.

"This Emperor is Lun Pa. Hand over your storage ring and I can consider showing you mercy…" What left Mo Wuji confused was that this wood-bark-like old man actually didn’t continue attacking. Instead, he wanted Mo Wuji to hand over his storage ring.

Mo Wuji’s mind spun, and he immediately figured out the reason. This fella was stalling for time; this fella wasn’t afraid of him, but this fella was afraid that Mo Wuji would try to escape.

When he thought of this, why would Mo Wuji want to waste any more time? His Half Moon Weighted Halberd conjured his Grand Desert which swept towards this old man. At the very next instant, his Winding River also cascaded down, and by the side of the river, was an incomplete sun..

The first three sacred arts of his Four Halberd Strikes were released almost simultaneously. Even though these three were intent-level sacred art, they didn’t cause a huge pressure due to his strong sea of consciousness and spiritual will.

Even though Lun Pa had only responded with a punch previously, and it had been a defensive punch, Mo Wuji was clear that the density of his immortal elemental energy could not compare with this Lun Pa.

Since Lun Pa was so strong, he had no other choice but to give it his all.

Moreover, it wasn’t set in stone that he was going to lose. His Grand Desert could transform into a killing array. Back on the Dao Discussion Stage, those three Immortal Emperors were too weak, and they weren’t able to force him to display the full might of his Grand Desert.

Besides his Grand Desert, he was also a physique cultivator at G.o.d Physique Level 7. Of course, he still had his killing aces: the Spiritual Will Arrow and the Wheel of Life and Death.

Lun Pa was strong, but Lun Pa was worried that he would escape. That meant that Lun Pa would hold back and behave cautiously. In such a scenario, it meant that he, Mo Wuji, would have a high chance of getting rid of Lun Pa.

Seeing Mo Wuji attack so furiously, Lun Pa snorted coldly. A giant tree appeared above his head; the huge roots of that tree shot over. Mo Wuji’s whirlpool domain was shattered inch by inch, and his Winding River had only descended halfway before being split apart by the roots.

The violent force of immortal elemental energy rebounded back on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji felt a huge ache in his sea of consciousness and he almost coughed out some vital blood.

The only one of his three intent-level sacred arts which managed to form fully was his Grand Desert. This time, Mo Wuji’s Grand Desert didn’t form into boundless and endless waves of sand, but into millions of array flags. These millions of array flags shot into the s.p.a.ce between the two of them.

Mo Wuji did not falter. Waving his Half Moon Weighted halberd, that incomplete Setting Sun suddenly transformed into a gigantic star which came cras.h.i.+ng towards Lun Pa.

"Trivial tricks!" Lun Pa sneered. The giant tree erupted, transforming into a mountain of wood which blocked the Setting Sun.

The red star exploded; Mo Wuji’s Setting Sun’s intent had yet form fully before it was forcefully dispersed. Mo Wuji could no longer hold it in as his mouth opened and an arrow of blood shot out.

Lun Pa’s giant tree shattered once more, transforming into a web of wood which sealed the surrounding area. He was sure that Mo Wuji would try to escape after knowing the difference between them.

However, Mo Wuji didn’t escape. Not only didn’t he escape, Mo Wuji took a step forward. He directly condensed a Spiritual Will Arrow. Immediately, killing intent filled the entire web-locked s.p.a.ce.

Chapter 790: Killing A Dao Emperor

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

"This is the Spiritual Will Arrow…" Lun Pa was an expert hardened through countless of battles; he felt it the moment Mo Wuji’s Spiritual WIll Arrow locked onto him.

At this instant, Lun Pa’s heart turned cold. When he was fighting against Mo Wuji, he could immediately tell that Mo Wuji had yet to validate his Dao and step into the Immortal Emperor Stage. Lun Pa would never have thought that a mere Immortal Reverent could actually condense the Spiritual Will Arrow?

Lun Pa was clearer than even Mo Wuji himself of the terrifying might of the Spiritual Will Arrow. Once shot, this arrow speeds along without a trail and without a trace. Moreover, if the Spiritual Will Arrow reaches a certain level, not only would it destroy the opponent’s fleshly body, it would even eradicate the opponent’s sea of consciousness.

The reason why the Spiritual Will Arrow was so terrifying was because it could not be blocked. This was unless your spiritual will and sea of consciousness were stronger than the user, and you would need to possess a spiritual will defensive technique. Otherwise, you would need a spiritual will treasure, or simply persevere through the attack.

Usually, only Xiantian or peak Houtian treasures have methods to defend against spiritual will attacks. However, Lun Pa did not have such treasures.

There was no small amount of immortal cultivators that could use spiritual will techniques. However, the experts that could condense a Spiritual Will Arrow or possess strong spiritual will sacred arts definitely could only be counted within one’s fingers.

A looming pressure fell over the entire s.p.a.ce. Lun Pa furiously tried to concentrate his domain. Before Mo Wuji shot his Spiritual Will Arrow, Lun Pa did not dare to take out his magic treasure. Also, Lun Pa knew that there was a fatal flaw with the Spiritual Will Arrow; that was, the moment the Spiritual Will Arrow was shot, the user would fall into a state of great weakness. That was the best moment to counterattack.

Lun Pa was waiting for that instant.

Mo Wuji had frequently tested his Spiritual Will Arrow before. Naturally, he knew of the weakness after using it. However, his sea consciousness was strong, so he had never placed it to heart.

But as Mo Wuji condensed this Spiritual Will Arrow to lock onto Lun Pa, he knew that he was wrong. The Spiritual Will Arrow was crazily sucking away his spiritual will and his immortal elemental energy; it was even sucking away his life force.

In that instant, Mo Wuji came to an understanding. The reason why he never had such a drastic feeling with his Spiritual Will Arrow before was because he had never met an expert on the level of Lun Pa. That also meant that he had never truly shot a Spiritual Will Arrow with his full killing intent.

The moment this arrow shot out, he was sure that he would be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He had shot the Spiritual Will Arrow before but this particular arrow seemed to suck out almost everything that he had.

As the Spiritual Will Arrow continued to condense with greater killing intent, Mo Wuji gradually felt that it was getting arduous to even stand. He struggled to circulate his spirit storage channel and his elemental storage channel. Even if his sea of consciousness was sucked dry, he would still have some control as long as he had his spirit storage channel.

Mo Wuji exhaled strongly. A sense of emptiness flooded into him and around him. The moment this Spiritual Arrow was released, it felt like everything in his surroundings had been swept away.

"Kacha!" This crisp sound rang through the void. Lun Pa knew that Mo Wuji had released his Spiritual Will Arrow.

"Pff!" A fog of mist exploded at Lun Pa’s forehead. Lun Pa could immediately hear his Mind Palace releasing cracking sounds.

Lun Pa naturally knew that this was an indication that his Mind Palace was shattering. However, he was not shocked, but pleasantly surprised. This was because he knew that Mo Wuji was dead meat. As long as this Spiritual Will Arrow didn’t kill him, he would have the chance to eliminate Mo Wuji. As for the damage to his Mind Palace, the G.o.ds Race had plenty of heavenly treasures which would be able to help him recover gradually.

Immediately, Lun Pa retrieved a wooden nail which was only 3 inches long. It instantly shot towards Mo Wuji’s heart.

Mo Wuji could feel Lun Pa’s wooden nail speeding towards him. However, he did not block, nor did he try to dodge. He knew that he didn’t have the opportunity to do so.

"Bang!" The meat around Lun Pa’s head exploded, he looked like a b.l.o.o.d.y skeleton. His Mind Palace was also shattering at a rapid rate, even he could feel it clearly.

At the same time, the wooden nail landed on Mo Wuji’s left chest. Even though Mo Wuji was at G.o.d Physique Level 7, this nail still penetrated his chest and infiltrated into his body. The wooden nail was eventually stopped 1 centimetre away from his heart. However, due to the intense immortal elemental energy contained within the nail, tears began to appear on Mo Wuji’s heart.

A deathly, grey energy instantly inundated Mo Wuji’s entire body, and it continued to metastasize towards Mo Wuji’s sea of consciousness.

Mo Wuji completely disregarded his own injuries as he stepped towards Lun Pa. His two hands conjured countless of enigmatic hand seals and soon, a Yin Yang Wheel appeared in front of him.

Sacred Art - Wheel of Life and Death.

"This is impossible." The skeleton-like Lun Pa stared at Mo Wuji in shock. His G.o.ds Wooden Nail had landed on Mo Wuji, but Mo Wuji’s body actually didn’t explode. Could it be that Mo Wuji had a G.o.d Physique?

In fact, let’s not talk about the G.o.d Physique; this was his first time that he saw a person continue to use another sacred art after shooting the Spiritual Will Arrow.

Under that Spiritual Will Arrow, Lun Pa’s sea of consciousness had split apart and a good, front half of his head had exploded. Even though he wanted to continue attacking, a sense of dread and impending doom enveloped him.

At this instant, he felt as though he was drowning in a sea of death. His life force was rapidly being sucked away, and as that happened, the deathly energy holding him in place seemed to get stronger and heavier. His spirit channels started to rupture and his Mind Palace started to evaporate…

"What’s this sacred art…" Right after Lun Pa said those words, the deathly wheel imprint landed on him. All energy within him rapidly got sucked out of his body.

He was filled with unwillingness. He was an expert standing at the peak of this world, but he was actually killed by a mere Immortal Reverent. Moreover, this was in the circ.u.mstance where he was actively trying to kill the other party. He even felt some fear; if Mo Wuji was so terrifying as an Immortal Reverent, then how powerful would he be when he gets stronger. If he could still move, what he would do was to send a flying messenger sword to Wu w.a.n.g, telling Wu w.a.n.g not to continue chasing Mo Wuji, and not to act against the Human Race…

"Wheel of Life and Death." Mo Wuji finally said the name of his sacred art. Unfortunately, Lun Pa was not able to hear it. His primordial spirit had already been extinguished within the Wheel of Life and Death.

Mo Wuji opened his hand, sweeping in a storage ring and an extremely small pair of wings. As Lun Pa died, that giant web of wood reverted back into a tree that was roughly a meter long. Mo Wuji also retrieved it.

A sense of weakness immediately pervaded throughout his body. Mo Wuji did not immediately run away. He popped some pills, then he started to gather Lun Pa’s dao energy.

After doing all this, Mo Wuji grabbed Lun Pa’s corpse. With his Wind Escape Technique, he fled in a different direction.

…

In less than half an incense"s time since Mo Wuji left, a s.h.i.+p stopped at where Mo Wuji and Lun Pa battled.

Wu w.a.n.g was the first one to leave the s.h.i.+p. He stood, unmoving, at the battle site for a long time before he finally snorted coldly, "Lun Pa tried to stop that Mo Wuji here and the two of them engaged in battle. That Mo Wuji escaped. He didn"t continue moving towards the Shattered Ruins, but chose to flee in a different direction…"

Thereafter, Wu w.a.n.g closed his eyes and extended his spiritual will. Soon, he discovered the dao energy left behind by Lun Pa. He immediately said, "Let"s go. Lun Pa left behind traces. We can follow them. A mere human race ant dares to kill the young lord of my G.o.ds Race. I will let him know the true meaning of regret."

Wu w.a.n.g entered the s.h.i.+p. The s.h.i.+p changed directions, and soon, it vanished without a trace.

As hours pa.s.sed, the expression on Wu w.a.n.g"s face continued to get uglier. The traces left behind by Lun Pa continued to get weaker, and at this point, it had completely disappeared.

"Grand Elder, Elder Lun Pa"s speed is number one in our G.o.ds Race. Logically, with Elder Lun Pa"s speed and capabilities, he shouldn"t have taken that long to chase after that human race ant. But now, we have been pursuing them for hours but there are still no new signs. I"m afraid…" A short haired middle aged man walked to the back of Wu w.a.n.g and said; his voice was solemn and filled concern.

Wu w.a.n.g inhaled deeply, then he said solemnly, "We fell into his trap. If I"m not wrong, Lun Pa has already fallen under this person"s venomous hands. I was wrong. I underestimated this person. From now on, I definitely wouldn"t underestimate this person. There"s no need for us to continue moving in this direction. Turn back, let"s go to the Shattered Ruins."

…

At this instant, Mo Wuji had already cremated Lun Pa"s corpse, made a huge round trip, and arrived back outside Shattered Ruins.

He still hadn"t removed the wooden nail from his body and the injury on his chest had gotten bloodied and mottled. He had always been on the run and he didn"t seem capable of expelling the deathly energy contained within that wooden nail.

Even though he was continuously taking peak grade immortal pills, his face was extremely pale and his entire body exuded a sort of energy of decay. This was even with his vitality channel; if he was anyone else, he would probably be dead.

Shattered Ruins. This was one of the three Holylands of the Heaven"s Beyond Cosmos. This place is filled with boundless fortunes and treasures. At the same time, this place is fraught with dangers. Most of the cultivators that come to Heaven"s Beyond Cosmos would choose to go to the Shattered Ruins. Even though the Shattered Ruins was dangerous, it was better than the Heaven"s Beyond Corridor in the point that the Shattered Ruins didn"t have that deathly energy. As long as one had the cultivation resources, cultivating here would reap great results.

The Shattered Ruins wasn"t a planet, nor was it a floating continent. Its entrance was merely a huge void door which looked like a void transfer array. In reality, it"s very simple to enter this void gate and anyone could do so.

Outside the void gate, there was even a makes.h.i.+ft plaza.

There were several shops and resthouses on this plaza. Cultivators that met with trouble within the Shattered Ruins could return to this plaza to rest and restock their supplies.

Mo Wuji"s Wind Escape Technique was extremely fast. He directly crossed the plaza and entered the Shattered Ruins.

Even though Mo Wuji was exuding a faint bloodied energy, no one seemed to care about it. They had seen such scenes frequently; many cultivators avoiding the pursuit of their enemies would escape into the Shattered Ruins.

...

The moment he entered the Shattered Ruins, Mo Wuji felt a sort of motley energy. The immortal spiritual energy here was very rich, but it was not suitable for cultivation; it seemed to be stained with random bits of impure energy.

Mo Wuji stopped in his tracks. His current location didn’t even have a single root of gra.s.s. As he gazed ahead of him, he could only see a continuous range of mountains. Alternatively, the scene in front of him could be a large row of cracks and crevices.

An intense sensation of weakness started to strike him. Mo Wuji knew that what he needed to do now wasn’t to find Yan Yuerong, but to rush into the depths of the Shattered Ruins. With his current condition, he wouldn’t even be able to dodge if the experts from the G.o.ds Race arrives.

Chapter 791: Depths of the Shattered Ruins

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Mo Wuji took out Wu Li’s storage ring and other than the large quant.i.ty of green crystals, there was also a peak grade escape talisman.

Even though Mo Wuji was not proficient in Talisman Dao, there was dao spirituality circulating on the surface of the talisman which made Mo Wuji certain that this was at least a Grade 9 immortal escape talisman.

Mo Wuji spat out some fresh blood and the escape talisman exploded into a faint and greyish radiance which swept Mo Wuji off his feet before disappearing without a trace.

In the next instance, Mo Wuji felt dizzy and this was when he realised that there was a high possibility that the escape talisman which he ignited had surpa.s.sed Grade 9. Otherwise, he shouldn’t have felt dizzy even if he was injured severely.

Mo Wuji forced himself to maintain his consciousness because he knew that once he pa.s.sed out when the talisman completed its task, he would be in grave danger. This was the Shattered Ruins and not some peaceful place.

After an unknown period of time, Mo Wuji felt trembles in his legs before hearing cracks from his own bones. Just as his brain was starting to lack oxygen, Mo Wuji sent himself into the Undying World even before he pa.s.sed out.

Moments later, a few metres long beaver stepped down from the void as it entered right into a pond which was near the Undying World.

…

Shuai Guo, who was already a immortal beast in the pinnacle of Cla.s.s 6, saw how Mo Wuji fell into the Undying World with a body filled with injuries as he muttered to himself helplessly, "My lord is always on the verge of death every time he enters the Undying World. Fortunately, a smart and capable Shuai Guo is around because otherwise, who knows how many times my lord would have perish? Ai, I’m always the one doing so much and I’m also always the one getting scolded."

The well experienced Shuai Guo hurried to s.h.i.+ft Mo Wuji under the Breath of Hongmeng.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, Shuai Guo was well aware that under the Breath of Hongmeng, Mo Wuji would always recover well no matter the severity of injuries.

However, Shuai Guo started to feel like something was amiss a few days later. Even though the other parts of the Mo Wuji’s body were recovering well, his chest was constantly bleeding as a certain grey energy of defeat was seeping out continually.

Moreover, this was Shuai Guo’s first time sensing that its lord was getting weaker with his life force dissipating.

Shuai Guo was after all an immortal beast which was about to advance to become Cla.s.s 7 so it would be a complete waste of resources if Shuai Guo couldn’t tell that Mo Wuji was in trouble.

Shuai Guo dashed over to Mo Wuji and started permeating through Mo Wuji’s wounds using its spiritual will.

A three inches long grey nail was caught by Shuai Guo as it was the one which was emitting the greyish energy of defeat.

It seemed like this nail was the cause of it. Without hesitation, Shuai Guo opened its mouth and the grey deathly energy was swept away by it.

In the very next moment, Shuai Guo was dumbfounded because once he managed to sweep away the grey energy, the nail started exuding new grey energy of defeat.

This item was certainly not simple and as Shuai Guo bite onto this grey nail in an attempt to pull it out, it was to no avail regardless of how hard it tried to pull. It could even bite onto the nail and drag Mo Wuji away because the nail was deeply embedded into Mo Wuji’s bones.

*Spat out in contempt* "I can’t believe there is still something which I, Shuai Guo, couldn’t handle. I shall eat…" Shuai Guo grunted as it opened its mouth to chew on the tailend of the nail.

A faint scar started appearing on the wooden nail and Shuai Guo was not in the least discouraged. It didn’t believe that it couldn’t bite off a nail because in its memory, its ancestor could even eat Xiantian treasures. It, Shuai Guo, was a descendant of the Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito which its lord mentioned to be one of the five greatest and most vicious bugs.

Exerting all its force, Shuai Guo opened its mouth to bite onto that wooden nail again and under faint circulation of the dao spirituality, the corner of the wooden nail was instantly bit off by Shuai Guo.

Once the corner of the nail was bitten off, the deathly energy of defeat surrounding them started to weaken. Within one absorption, Shuai Guo swept away the deathly energy in the air before biting on the nail again.

That wooden nail was like a jelly bean as half of it was bitten off by Shuai Guo. The remaining part of the nail was no longer able to attach itself on Mo Wuji’s bones so Shuai Guo pulled it out directly before swallowing it.

The moment the wooden nail was removed, Mo Wuji’s injuries started to recover rapidly with the aid of the Breath of Hongmeng. At this moment, even without the Breath of Hongmeng, Mo Wuji would still be able to recover well with his vitality channel alone.

"Brr!" Before Shuai Guo could check on the condition of Mo Wuji, it started hearing rumbles coming from its own stomach.

Immense pain was felt next and Shuai Guo couldn’t help but to roll around the ground in pain. Very soon, its stomach started expanding and Shuai Guo fell while facing up. It watched its expanding stomach and grunted, "No good, my stomach is about to explode. This item is really too incredible."

…

When Mo Wuji woke up, Shuai Guo’s stomach had already been deflated. Presently, Shuai Guo’s dao spirituality was starting to circle around it and evidently, it had entered a deep-seated sleep.

Mo Wuji casually threw out a few green crystals as he helped Shuai Guo to install an energy gathering array before checking on his own condition.

Mo Wuji was aware that Shuai Guo helped him by swallowing the wooden nail but his consciousness was still indistinct and blur. He remembered getting struck by the wooden nail on his chest and if it wasn’t for Shuai Guo’s help to remove the nail, Mo Wuji knew that he would perish eventually even with his vitality channel.

Mo Wuji’s extended his spiritual will outwards and was surprised to see that his Undying World had actually landed on the periphery of a pond of water. Sensing that there were no dangers outside, Mo Wuji cautiously made his way out of his Undying World.

The great density of the immortal energy in the surrounding was shocking which made Mo Wuji suspect that cultivating here could be comparable to using green crystals to cultivate.

Green crystals were definitely of a higher grade than immortal energy but Mo Wuji guessed that the green crystals he obtained should be only a fragment or edge which was why the Laws of Dao within it was not complete.

"Ta!" A sound which caused trembles in Mo Wuji’s heart could be heart as Mo Wuji hurried to conceal himself behind a ma.s.sive rock.

Even before Mo Wuji could recognise what demonic beast it was, "Boom!" the pond in front of him exploded and a ma.s.sive beaver with a body length of more than 9 metres charged out.

This beaver instantly darted towards the incoming humongous black ape and while the beaver was already considered big, this black ape was almost twice the size of the beaver.

"Boom boom boom!" The beaver clashed with the black ape and the entire s.p.a.ce started swaying immensely. Mo Wuji took in a breath of cold air because either one of the beaver or black ape was definitely stronger than him. These two enormous creatures were definitely no weaker than the Dao Emperor from the G.o.ds Race which he had just finished off recently. He started to ponder about where had he arrived at to find so many powerful beast here?

Mo Wuji was certain that the beaver should have spotted him but because it was busy chasing the black ape away, it didn’t have time to entertain Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji didn’t choose to run away because he knew that if he had truly landed in the deepest depths of the Shattered Ruins, there would be peak grade demonic beasts everywhere he went and it would be the same no matter where he choose to go. All he would be doing would be to barge from one demonic beast’s territory into another demonic beasts’ territory.

By staying here, he still had a small sliver of hope because once the beaver and black ape managed to injure each other severely, that would be his chance.

After all, Mo Wuji was a person who had killed a Dao Emperor so he believed that he should still be able to deal with a severely wounded demonic beast.

Intense elemental energy exploded and the entire place was in a complete mess as sand and rocks started flying around. Tall and ancient trees were directly smashed by the two gigantic demonic beast and even the 30 over metres rock was split apart.

In just a few moments, Mo Wuji understood that the pond must have a peak grade treasure which was why the beaver was so insistent that the black ape shall not approach the pond.

Despite knowing that there was a treasure in the pond, Mo Wuji didn’t act instantly. He knew that once he made his way to s.n.a.t.c.h the treasure, the beaver would give up fighting the black ape to attack him instead. At that point in time, he would have made things so much easier for the black ape.

Mo Wuji guessed that both the beaver and black ape had already spotted him but was too busy to bother with him. As Mo Wuji thought about how he wanted to own a piece of territory here in the future, he casually took out a few array flags to install a deathtrap array.

"Ai!" Fresh blood started splattering all over the place and the black ape’s brain was split open by the beaver. Similarly, the beaver’s stomach was ripped apart by the black ape as its organ was hanging on the outside.

The explosive battle was coming to an end and as the heavily wounded black ape realised that he couldn’t finish the beaver off, he gradually retreated.

The beaver didn’t bother chasing after the black ape and even before it take note of its injured body, it flew and charged right towards Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji stood up and the Half Moon Weighted Halberd turned into a lacerating blade radiance as it slashed towards the beaver. He had waited for this moment for a long time and because this pond seemed decent, Mo Wuji decided to establish his foothold here.

"Boom!" The Half Moon Weighted Halberd struck against the beaver’s ma.s.sive claw shadow and a ray of blood suddenly appeared. Mo Wuji retreated instantly as the beaver’s ma.s.sive claw was blasted by Mo Wuji’s halberd radiance.

In the very next moment, the beaver had already landed within Mo Wuji’s deathtrap array and as Mo Wuji started to throw out array flags, the beaver started to let out devastating cries in an attempt to escape.

If the beaver was in a fresh condition, Mo Wuji’s Grade 8 deathtrap array would only be able to stall the beaver for a moment. Now that the beaver was clearly wounded and was struck by Mo Wuji’s halberd radiance, it was completely helpless against Mo Wuji’s arrays and besides crying out, there was nothing it could do.

Two hours later, Mo Wuji entered the deathtrap array as he used his halberd to finish off the extremely exhausted beaver.

After killing off the beaver, Mo Wuji didn’t rush to enter the pond to find the treasure but started to install all sorts of defensive and deathtrap arrays on the periphery of this area.

He wanted to cultivate here so he must first mark out his territory. From today onwards, he shall be the ruler of the piece of land he was standing on.

Mo Wuji was completely unaware of his current location but he knew that he wouldn’t be able to leave this place now. To leave this place, he needed to improve further.

Four hours later, all the defensive and deathtrap arrays were concealed up by Mo Wuji. He believed that even if peak grades immortal beasts were to arrive, they would be able to discern the meaning of these deathtrap arrays. That was to announce that this was his territory now.

Once he completed this, Mo Wuji stepped into the pond.

Chapter 792: Danger In The Immortal World

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

The instance the slightly chilled water of the pond touched Mo Wuji’s skin, his entire body felt instantly relaxed even if before he started cultivating. He tried to circulate his physique tempering technique and that cooling pond water started cleansing the impurities within his body.

Mo Wuji’s heart was jumping gleefully because he didn’t expect the pond to be the treasure itself. On the surface, the pond looked as ordinary as any other pond and even his spiritual will didn’t detect any difference. Once he entered the pond, Mo Wuji instantly knew that this bond was definitely the best place to temper his physique and it was certainly not an ordinary pond.

If Mo Wuji were to cleanse his body for a few years in this pond before going back to temper his physique, its effectiveness would definitely be on the next level. Similarly, it would be just as effective if he were to cleanse his body here immediately after tempering his physique.

He was already in the G.o.d Physique Level 7 and how extraordinary was this pond if it could still cleanse a physique at the level that he was in?

This beaver really did know how to enjoy to think that it could actually find such a great place to reside in. Mo Wuji suspected a lot of demonic beasts were unaware of the heaven-defying effects of this pond because otherwise, all of them should be heading here to fight for it.

Wait, at least the black ape was aware of it right? Otherwise, why would it come over?

Just as Mo Wuji was considering if he should send this entire pond into his Undying World, a green smear appeared in front of his eyes.

At the bottom of the pond, there was a fruit tree right smack in the centre of it. Around the tree was a natural water repelling array which separates the tree from the water surrounding it.

On top of the fruit tree were seven spotlessly white immortal fruits and as Mo Wuji landed right next to the fruit tree, the faint fragrance immediately perked Mo Wuji up.

Mo Wuji walked into the water repelling array and once he saw what kind of tree this was, his heart couldn’t stop beating fast. He finally understood why the black ape wanted to charge in and why the beaver would want to stop the black ape from coming in.

The black ape wasn’t going for the pond but was intending to s.n.a.t.c.h the immortal fruit at the bottom of the pond. Mo Wuji was a Tier 9 Pill Emperor so he was fully aware of the the immortal fruit in front of him. The immortal fruit, which people couldn’t discern the grade, was called the Transformation Dao Fruit.

To demonic beast, this was a peak grade immortal spiritual fruit because the Transformation Dao Fruit could allow Cla.s.s 10 immortal beasts to transform into a human dao body.

Transformation of demonic beasts was actually not difficult and a lot of the demonic beasts didn’t even need to enter the immortal beast realm and could transform even during the ordinary Cla.s.s 9. However, such a transformation would not be of much help to a demonic beast’s cultivation.

The Transformation Dao Fruit was different because if a demonic beast made use of the Transformation Dao Fruit to transform, not only would the transformation be thorough, they would also have a physique which was suitable to gain insights on the Grand Dao of the Heaven and Earth.

Demonic beasts who used the Transformation Dao Fruit would not be any weaker in terms of their enlightenment and merging of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. Additionally, their physique would definitely surpa.s.s the human cultivators.

This was the reason why every single Transformation Dao Fruit was a peerless treasure to demonic beast and moreover, such a fruit was extremely rare.

Right in front of him was actually an almost ripen Transformation Dao Fruit Tree with 7 Transformation Dao Fruits on it. Even while using the toe of his feet to think, Mo Wuji could imagine the kind of attention it would attract from all the various strong beasts once the Transformation Dao Fruits ripen. Once the fruit ripen, its fragrance and da spirituality would permeate through the entire place.

If Mo Wuji didn’t possess his Undying World, he might constantly install all sorts of concealment arrays to conceal this Transformation Dao Fruit Tree.

Now that he had his Undying World, he would not hesitate to s.h.i.+ft this entire Transformation Dao Fruit Tree into his world. Before advancing into the Immortal Emperor Stage, Mo Wuji really didn’t want to find too much trouble for himself.

At the periphery of the natural defensive array of the Transformation Dao Fruit Tree was a bluestone pathway. Water was also repelled on both sides of the bluestone pathway and Mo Wuji could sense with his spiritual will that this pathway leads directly into a narrow immortal cave.

The immortal cave even had a few simple energy gathering array, which Mo Wuji looked down upon, on its outside. Evidently, the beaver was not very proficient in array dao.

Once Mo Wuji entered the immortal cave, the first thing he did was to change the energy gathering array on the outside.Concurrently, he installed a few more protecting and deathtrap arrays before taking out the five storage rings.

One of the storage ring belonged to the beaver while the other four belonged to the experts of the three G.o.ds Race experts including the three Immortal Emperors which he killed.

While the beaver’s storage ring had piles of various peak grade ores and immortal herbs, there was not many green crystals. However, the immortal herbs within the ring were of much better quality in terms of grade and colour than the ones Mo Wuji obtained in the Heaven’s Beyond City Square. In fact, he even found a peak grade Emperor Dao Fruit in the same storage ring.

As for materials, other than a pile of Grade 9 immortal materials, Mo Wuji even found some materials which he didn’t recognise. From the appearance of the dao spirituality of the items itself, Mo Wuji could tell that these items were definitely not weak.

Within the three storage rings of the Immortal Emperors of the G.o.ds Race, Mo Wuji found a total of about 1 million green crystals and had tidied up the rest of the immortal herbs and materials.

The most shocking thing was that in the storage ring of the Dao Emperor which he recently killed with his Spiritual Arrow, the total number of green crystals acc.u.mulated to over three millions and including a wide variety of materials, herbs and techniques; this storage ring was literally a warehouse. However, Mo Wuji’s heart was beating in excitement because he actually found the Five Elemental Soil within the same storage ring.

The Five Elemental Soil was a priceless treasure because not only could this soil grow all sorts of peak grade immortal herbs, there was an even more valuable use for it. That was the fact that the soil could refine spatial herbal field or even a small world.

As for the other treasures including that pair of wings, Mo Wuji didn’t wish to spend time refining it for the time being. He had his own Wind Escape Technique which was why he wasn’t too interested in that pair of wings.

With that many treasures obtained coupled with the green crystals and cultivation resources that he originally had, Mo Wuji knew that he wouldn’t need to source for more cultivation resources temporarily. These items should be sufficient for him to step into the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage.

Piles of green crystals were taken out by Mo Wuji to install the energy gathering array because to him, his strength at the pinnacle of the Immortal Reverent Stage was only enough for him to protect himself. Now that he had offended both the G.o.ds Race and West River Religious Order, he needed to up his strength by a notch or two. Presently, cultivation was of the highest priority.

As for Yan Yuerong, Mo Wuji was not worried at all. He left loads of items in the storage ring he gave Yan Yuerong which even included Draining Immortal King Pills. Yan Yuerong would definitely enter into such depths of the Scattered Ruins because she only needed to find a secluded spot to conceal herself while cultivating.

...

The Cosmos Edge was getting increasingly oppressed or rather, the cultivators of the Human Race were getting increasingly oppressed.

A year ago, Mo Wuji killed Wu Li on the Dao Discussion Stage and even destroyed the entire stage in the Cosmos Edge. This wasn’t all because Mo Wuji even killed three Immortal Emperors of the G.o.ds Race, forced the Mifei Trade Union to compensate millions of green crystals and also ripping the cultivation of the arrogant Killer-Girl Li from the West River Religious Order.

Back then, many top experts of the Mifei Trade Union, West River Religious Order or even the G.o.ds Race were not around. Additionally, Feng Huang of the Cosmos Edge refused to intervene and after Mo Wuji did what he did, he actually left the Cosmos Edge.

Thereafter, the G.o.ds Race went after Mo Wuji and they didn’t reveal whether or not they managed to capture him.

After the mess created by Mo Wuji in the Cosmos Edge a year ago, the Cosmos Edge started the ma.s.sacre of cultivators from the Human Race under the lead of the G.o.ds Race. Other than this, the G.o.ds Race even started to a.s.semble their ma.s.sive army as they prepared to attack the only encampment of the Human Race in the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos: Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City.

Everyone knew that the G.o.ds Race had started acting out violently mainly because of the fact that their young lord, Wu Li, was killed. As to why the Cosmos Edge didn’t say anything about the violence exhibited by the G.o.ds Race, it was because the Union Head of the Mifei Trade Union, Qian Yishang and the West River Religious Order’s An Xuecheng both supported the G.o.ds Race’s actions.

Human cultivators of the Cosmos Edge started to flee hurriedly and those slower ones had already been slaughtered.

...

The Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City was the only encampment of the Human Race in the entire Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos. Presently, it was pin drop silence in the castellan’s mansion in the city.

Almost every experts of the Human Race in the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos had gathered here in the castellan’s mansion but the only difference from the past was that the person hosting this meeting was no longer Ping Lishang but a phoenix eyebrow youth. The energy around this youth was almost completely concealed and n.o.body could tell how strong he truly was.

However, one only need to look at Ping Lishang seated below him to know that he must be the Very High Heavens’ Dao Emperor Zi Changluo.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was very intense as everyone waited in silence.

About half an incense worth of time later, a middle aged Immortal Reverent man with thinly spread hair walked in swiftly as he greeted Zi Changluo before saying, "Speaking to the mighty Dao Emperor, I’ve completed a thorough research of that Mo Wuji’s background. That person came from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain and had established a Ping Fan Immortal School back there. That Mo Wuji had deadly feuds with the Great Sword Path, Lightning Sect and the Vast Ocean Immortal School. Ping Fan exterminated the entire Great Sword Path and there was a immortal vein located at where Ping Fan was situated at and the immortal energy there was extremely dense."

"Ping Fan Immortal School?" Zi Changluo repeated this name because he had heard of Ping Fan before. He had heard that the School Head Mo Wuji rose to power abruptly and was even a Tier 8 Pill Emperor. He didn’t put it to heart back then because even a Tier 8 Pill Emperor didn’t mean much to him.

Jin Yu, who was standing by the side, already knew what he needed to say but his heart was still trembling in fear because he didn’t expect Mo Wuji to progress to such an extent. The encirclement of three Immortal Emperors didn’t manage to kill him and rumours even spread that Wu w.a.n.g personally pursuited Mo Wuji but to no avail. It seemed like it was indeed risky when he went to find Mo Wuji previously in the Heaven’s Beyond Corridor.

Evidently, Mo Wuji truly had quite a number of good items on him but the pity was now that the matter had been blown so big, it would never be his Jin Clan’s turn to claim everything Mo Wuji had.

"Speaking to the Dao Emperor, I’ve heard of this Mo Wuji before. Ping Fan Immortal School had a Grand Emperor and a few ordinary Immortal Emperors. In the Immortal World, Ping Fan’s strength could be considered as peak grade. However, who would have guessed that he would be so daring to implicate so much trouble to the Human Race. I am willing to volunteer myself to bring a few men over to first exterminate Ping Fan," Jin Yu clasped his fists before saying this.

Mo Wuji had way too many good items and even s.n.a.t.c.hed Jin Yiren’s primal fire crystals so regardless the case, his Jin Clan must collect some interests from him.

Zi Changluo shook his hand, "We will definitely exterminate Ping Fan but on a more urgent note, the G.o.ds Race military is planning to launch an attack on our Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City so this matter could hold out for the time being."

Chapter 793: Besiegement of Ping Fan

"Dao Emperor, I think we should perhaps capture everyone in Mo Wuji’s Ping Fan Immortal School and send them here to the G.o.ds Race so as to appease their anger," Jin Yu hurried to add in because he really wanted to initiate the attack on Ping Fan. He suspected that the people at Ping Fan knew about Mo Wuji’s whereabouts and if so, not only would he be able to obtain the good items from Ping Fan, he would also be informed as to where Mo Wuji was hiding.

"Foolis.h.!.+" A cold and sharp voice sounded, "Our Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City had always been l.u.s.t after by others and this time, it was simply because the G.o.ds Race found an excuse to act against us. Even if the G.o.ds Race didn’t find an excuse to do so, other races would also find excuses to get rid of the Human Race.

The one speaking was a middle aged man with sharp eyebrows and he seemed slightly skinny.

Everyone in the hall recognised this man as the Very High Heavens’ Grand Emperor, Zhong Minshan and he was also one of the main court protectors of the Very High Heavens. Zhong Minshan was very strong but he was slightly old-fas.h.i.+oned and had a very bad temper. This was the reason why he didn’t have much friends in the Very High Heavens.

Jin Yu stared coldly at Zhong Minshan before saying, "According to the words of court protector, are you saying that Mo Wuji’s act of killing the talented young lord Wu Li didn’t cause any trouble for us, Human Race?"

Zhong Minshan laughed out loud as his expression of ridicule became increasingly obvious. Concurrently, he raised his hand, pointed at Jin Yu and shouted, "It is because of weaklings and cowards like you which was why our Human Race in the Immortal World was getting increasingly oppressed and eventually shrinking into only a small immortal city. Even if we’re only a small immortal city here, cowards like you would ruin it in time to come."

Zi Changluo’s expression turned ugly and there was even traces of coldness in his eyes. The main reason why the Human Race was severely oppressed in the Immortal World and was eventually left with only a small immortal city was because of him, Zi Changluo.

After stepping into the Grand Emperor Stage, he had already sensed that he had surpa.s.sed the Laws of the Immortal World. After finding out about the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos, he was ambitious and wanted to take command of the entire Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos despite the large territory that the Human Race controlled in the Immortal World. At that point in time, the Human Race was the strongest race in the entire Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos.

Eventually, some smaller races started telling the other bigger races like the G.o.ds Race, Demon Race and Devil Race about the appearance of the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos. The intervention of these races resulted in the eventual taking over of the Human Race’s territories. In the end, they were only left with the Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City.

The Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City was able to survive only because it had a peak grade defensive array. This defensive array was even slightly stronger than the defensive array of the Cosmos Edge. Moreover, all the other races were frantically trying to collect as many cultivation resources as possible so why would they pit their life against the Human Race? After all, the Human Race was only left with one last immortal city in the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos so any attempt to s.n.a.t.c.h this immortal city would result in a possible all out retaliation by the Human Race.

Because Zi Changluo was the main reason why the Human Race was only left with one immortal city, Zhong Minshan caused his expression to turn ugly when he mentioned about this incident.

Jin Yu clasped his fists towards Zi Changluo before replying Zhong Minshan with a cold tone, "According to your logic, Mo Wuji should cause trouble for the Human Race by killing Wu Li, should provoke the West River Religious Order and the Mifei Trade Union? We, the Human Race, should sacrifice our lives to settle his debt?"

Zhong Minshan said disdainfully, "How many talents of the Human Race had Wu Li killed using the name of the Dao Discussion Stage? I could easily think of over ten geniuses who were killed by Wu Li. You actually want to exterminate Ping Fan, capture all their members and hand them over to the G.o.ds Race to plead that they don’t attack us just because Mo Wuji killed Wu Li? Jin Yu, don’t think that n.o.body know how your Jin Clan had a share in the Mifei Trade Union. You are not worthy of being a Human Race cultivator let alone the Very High Heavens.

"Enough! Zhong Minshan, go back down now," Zi Changluo’s tone got increasingly cold.

Even though Zhong Minshan was talking about Jin Yu and the Jin Clan, he was actually disrespecting Zi Changluo by talking so brazenly here.

"Boom!" An intense tremble could be felt and the entire hall was shaking.

Zi Changluo stood up hurriedly with a worried look. The G.o.ds Race experts had already arrived to attack their defensive array even before the G.o.ds Race military is here. This was simply not putting the Human Race in any regards at all.

…

Mo Wuji stopped cultivating with an equally ugly expression. It wasn’t because he didn’t want to continue cultivating but because he had been in seclusion for over a year now, exhausted over one to two millions green crystals and was still unable to touch or sense the Immortal Emperor Stage. It wasn’t just the Immortal Emperor Stage but even the Quasi-Emperor Stage was still too far away from him.

He knew that his prediction had turned into reality. That was how the amount of time he acc.u.mulated was too little and even with the fortune of cultivation resources he had coupled with his unbelievable immortal mortal technique, he was still unable to advance into the Immortal Emperor Stage in the short term.

Fortunately in the past year of secluded cultivation, his immortal energy had been further improved and was already in the Great Circle of the Immortal Reverent Stage. He was definitely stronger by yet another level.

Shuai Guo was still in its deep slumber in Mo Wuji’s Undying World while the seven Elemental Dao Fruit was already ripped and kept in seven different jade vases.

Because he was no longer able to improve any further and the dangerous beasts outside, Mo Wuji stopped cultivating and chose not to leave but started refining equipments instead.

Currently, he had mountains of materials to refine equipments and not only could refining and forging of equipments help improve his smithing standard, it could also stablise his insights towards his own dao.

In terms of his Grand Dao, smithing of equipments was a method to improve and Mo Wuji was well aware that he mustn"t rush through things at a time like this. The more he rushed, the more sluggish his Grand Dao would be.

As time pa.s.sed by, the mountains of equipment materials beside Mo Wuji shrinked while the number of immortal equipments beside him grew increasingly. It grew from Grade 5 to Grade 6 and ended up with loads of Grade 7 immortal equipments beside him.

Yet another two years had pa.s.sed and just as Mo Wuji was barely able to forge Grade 9 immortal equipments, he realised that he only had over 10 peak grade immortal materials left. He had already exhausted the rest of the materials.

After these few years of forging equipments, Mo Wuji could truly sense how extraordinary his Immortal Mortal Technique was. Changing something rotten into something magical could best describe his Immortal Mortal Technique. If it was anyone else, they would definitely not able to advance from a Grade 6 Smith Master to a Grade 9 Smith Emperor so quickly even with Xu Suren’s guidance.

The only regret Mo Wuji had was that he was still in the Great Circle of the Immortal Reverent Stage. Despite this, his energy was much rounded as compared to three years ago. In his heart, Mo Wuji was clear that he had yet to enter the Quasi-Emperor Stage let alone, touch the rim of the Immortal Emperor Stage.

Fortunately, there was still a pond with him and he decided to cleanse himself for another three years. If he was still unable to feel the Immortal Emperor Stage within the three years, he would leave this place even with the risks present.

The pond was slightly chilly but not icy cold. Mo Wuji sat at the bottom of the pond as he used all his force to circulate his physique tempering technique. The water within the pond might not be able to temper Mo Wuji’s physique but when he executed his physique tempering technique, it could cleanse the impurities within his body.

Once there were lesser impurities in the fleshly body, one’s understanding towards their own dao insights would be greater, their rate of cultivation would double and their physique would improve to the next level too.

While Mo Wuji was completely immersed in the pond to cleanse himself, Ping Fan’s defensive array was surrounded by over ten experts.

If Mo Wuji was here, he would definitely recognise Jin Yu and Jin Yiren among the group of people here.

Further away from Ping Fan’s defensive array was a stunning looking woman standing on mid air. She looked suspiciously at Ping Fan as she followed her own star locket here. She clearly gave the star locket to Mo Wuji but why was it hung on another woman’s neck?

"Boom!" Jin Yu and co. had already completed the installation of the deathtrap array as they started attacking Ping Fan.

"Stop! Why is your Very High Heavens attacking my Ping Fan?" Su Zi’An shouted furiously as he landed on the periphery of the defensive array.

Wei Zidao, Jian Mingcheng and Nie Chongan were all standing on the side of Elder Su. Even though Su Zi’An was still one step away from becoming an Immortal Emperor, he was the designated sect head for the time being. When Mo Wuji was not around, Su Zi’An would be the sect head.

"Ping Fan?" Jin Yiren laughed wildly, "Mo Wuji had committed so many crimes in the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos so why should Ping Fan still exists? Let me tell you that we would even extract and refine the soul of a dog found in Ping Fan."

"Boom! Just as Jin Yiren finished his piece, Jin Yu shouted and over 10 Immortal Emperors and Grand Emperors drew out their magic treasures.

"Stop!" Yet another clear voice could be heard and the one speaking was no longer a person from within Ping Fan but a stunning looking woman. She was standing right in front of the ten Immortal Emperors surrounding Ping Fan but no one actually knew when she arrived.

"The extermination of Ping Fan is a decree of the Dao Emperor and who might you be to actually dare to obstruct?" A yellow bearded Grand Emperor stood out to shout.

"The few of you want to exterminate Ping Fan but what has this got to do with Mo Wuji?" The stunning looking woman’s tone was extremely calm.

Perhaps because this woman came abruptly which was why the few Grand Emperors didn’t notice her. Now that she asked, someone replied, "Mo Wuji is the sect head of Ping Fan and he had committed some severe crimes in the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos and implicated the Human Race. Because of this, the Dao Emperor had ordered for us to exterminate Ping Fan."

Once the stunning looking woman heard these words, she shook her hand and said, "Since this is the case, then all of you should leave. Mo Wuji is my junior brother so I will not allow you to exterminate Ping Fan."

Jin Yu shouted yet again, "Everyone attack together!"

Over ten Immortal Emperors drew their magic treasures simultaneously as they charged towards the woman. A sky overwhelmed with energy swept over and at that very moment, even Su Zi’An and co. who were inside the array could feel the oppressiveness of s.p.a.ce.

This stunning looking woman only needed a single swing of the han and over 10 peak grade magic treasures disappeared without a trace. The oppressive and dark energy in the sky had instantly dissipated too.

At this moment, the woman said faintly, "Leave now because otherwise, don’t blame me for turning nasty."

Having said that, this woman’s mighty domain extended towards them and all these Immortal Emperors could feel a steel hammer banging against their chest as they spat out fresh blood and flew backwards.

Without the need for this woman to repeat herself, these Immortal Emperors escaped in a hurry as they didn’t even have the courage to retrieve their own magic treasures. They were certain that even Dao Emperor Zi Changluo wouldn’t be a match for this woman.

"Many thanks senior for lending your helping hand. Ping Fan’s temporary sect head, Su Zi’An greets senior," Su Zi’An hurried to open the protecting array to greet the senior.

This good looking woman nodded her head, "My name is Ji Li and because I am about to leave this place, I’ve decided to pay a visit to Junior Brother Mo Wuji."

Ji Li was warm, kind hearted and hated killing. This was also the reason why she didn’t kill any one of those people who tried to besiege Ping Fan.

Chapter 794: Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor

"Bang!" The tremor from the attacked defensive array shocked Mo Wuji, who was fully focused on tempering his physique. He instantly put on some clothes as he dashed out of the pond and landed right on the periphery of the defensive array.

Standing outside the defensive array were three people and one of them was a tall built, squared and black face man. The other two included a tiny, delicate looking yellow haired girl and another small size youth, who was almost half the height of the black face man. Mo Wuji estimated that he was only at most 1.5metres tall.

Mo Wuji recognised the black face man as the same black ape previously. This fella had yet to got its hands on the Transformation Dao Fruit and was already able to transform.

"Its you?" The black face man exclaimed at the sight of Mo Wuji because back when he was battling Beaver Chu, his spiritual will had detected Mo Wuji too.

To him, regardless of how severely injured Beaver Chu was, getting rid of Mo Wuji should be as easy as getting rid of an ant. What he didn’t expect was that Beaver Chu was no longer around while that Mo Wuji remained here. The truth presented itself in front of him which clearly meant that Mo Wuji had gotten rid of Beaver Chu.

"That’s right, its me. What is the meaning of the few of you attacking the defensive array of my immortal cave for no reason?" Mo Wuji’s expression turned ugly as the energy surrounding him started surging. Under the pressure from Mo Wuji’s energy, the s.p.a.ce between them even started to tremble slightly.

Mo Wuji was clear that even though the three of them looked like humans, all three of them should be peak cla.s.s demonic beasts who used to live here. Regardless of whichever came out, they wouldn’t be any weaker than that beaver. Even so, Mo Wuji was not fearful of any of them because after the many years of secluded cultivation, his strength was several folds stronger than before despite not advancing into Immortal Emperor Stage. Furthermore, this was his territory and there were several deathtrap and killing arrays installed at the side of this place.

Sensing that Mo Wuji’s aura was not much weaker than an Immortal Emperor’s aura, the three people took a few steps back subconsciously. Simultaneously, they were inwardly shocked because they knew that Mo Wuji was no weaker than any one of the trio.

That delicate woman chuckled before clasping her fists, "Since this big brother is staying here, I’m guessing that the dumb beaver had fallen."

Mo Wuji pretended to be surprised as he said, "That I am really unsure because when I arrived, I find this place decent and the fact that n.o.body came to disturb intrigued me to turn this place into my immortal cave."

It would be impossible for him to admit that he killed that beaver because he would rather fight than to let the opponent have information which they could use against him.

The delicate woman smiled once more, "It"s okay since that dumb beaver is no longer around. Let me introduce you to the few of us. My name is Fox Chunchun and I am from the Hidden Abyss. These two are Big Brother Ape Mo and Big Brother Golden Iron Crane from the Shattered Mountain and the Land of the Phoenix Nest respectively."

Mo Wuji clasped his fists in return, "It’s an honour to meet the few of you at last. I am sure that the few of you are experts of this area but I still couldn’t wrap my head around why the few experts would attack my place?"

Other than that black ape who Mo Wuji had met before, Mo Wuji was completely unaware of where Fox Chunchun and Golden Iron Crane were from. However, Mo Wuji was certain that whoever could survive in a place like this would definitely not be weak. Today, he could forget about the fact that these few strong demonic beasts attacked his immortal cave but it would definitely be much tougher for him to survive in a place like this in the future.

"And may I know the name of this Dao Friend here?" He Chunchun’s tone was gentle and modest.

"My name is Mo Wuji," Mo Wuji replied calmly while his killing intent rose concurrently. If this woman continued to ignore his question blatantly, he would attack immediately.

"Big Brother Mo, please don’t be angry because I’ll explain why we are here now. Initially, we found a decent historical remnant and was only short of one more person to open it up. We wanted to find that Beaver Chu to leave with us but since he is not around, why don’t Big Brother Mo group up with us and go over together? This is of course, if Big Brother Mo is willing," Fox Chunchun said hurriedly.

So it seemed like the beaver which he previously killed was called Beaver Chu. Mo Wuji answered calmly, "I have only been here for a few years and even though I am pretty confident of my own ability, I am afraid of being plot against in the dark. There were countless of experts here and if the few of you want to invite a pa.s.serby like me to join your group, I don’t have enough guts to go over before making clear of the situation."

The shorter Golden Iron Crane said abruptly, "Big Brother Mo, the fact that you could get rid of Beaver Chu meant that you are not weaker than any one of us here. It is not that we didn’t want to find anyone else but because both Diao He and Bao Bu were selfish fellas who couldn’t get along with us. We are truly sincere in asking Big Brother Mo to join us but naturally, we wouldn’t force Big Brother Mo if you are really reluctant."

Mo Wuji could sense that Golden Iron Crane was not lying to him and moreover, these few people should be here to look for Beaver Chu.

At the thought of this, Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Is it possible for you to tell me what the historical remnant is related to?"

Golden Iron Crane and the two others exchanged glances before Fox Chunchun replied, "Big Brother Mo, I believe that you should have heard about the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor?"

Mo Wuji felt slightly awkward because he had never heard of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor. From Fox Chunchun’s tone, it seemed like the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor was very renowned.

"The rumour about that historical remnant was about the location of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor," Fox Chunchun continued.

"Junior Sister Hu, I am not completely aware of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor so may I get Junior Sister Hu to explain briefly to me," Mo Wuji hurried to ask.

Fox Chunchun and co. stared blankly at Mo Wuji because to them, it should be impossible for him to be unaware of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor regardless of the race he was in.

Given Mo Wuji’s strength, he should have cultivated for over a few hundred years already right? How could such an expert not know of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor?

Fox Chunchun came back to her senses very quickly and whether or not Mo Wuji knew about the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor, she explained patiently, "Back then, there was a supremely talented cultivator of the Demon Race, whose name was unknown even up till today and the only name he left behind was the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor. This was because he had three treasures which names are famous throughout the entire cosmos. He was from the Demon Race yet he cultivated the Buddhism Dao and was a master of the Buddhism Dao with deep insights. In a very short period of time, he managed to step into the pinnacle of the realm of Buddhism Dao.

At that time, he left the Demon Race to move towards the top races and while he was in those races, he continued to expand his Buddhism Dao while continuously pa.s.sing on his own Buddhism Dao’s legacy. We are unsure of how many legacies the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor had left behind as it was eventually lost within the vast void. The historical remnant that we found was rumoured to be the location of secluded cultivation by the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor. However, we also suspected that the same place was where the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor had fallen."

Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, "May I ask what the three renowned treasures are?"

"There is a One Buddha Lotus Seat, Seven Buddha Scripture and the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp."

Mo Wuji was shocked because he had heard of all three treasures. In fact, wasn’t the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp the one that Su Xi had? Wasn’t these three treasures the three great treasures of the Buddhist Sect in the Immortal World so since when was it the items of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor?

The Seven Buddha Scripture was a duplicated jade letter and he even had one of it with him which he exchanged with Monk Da Ning previously. Because his rate of cultivation had been rapid and possessed quite a number of sacred arts himself, Mo Wuji didn’t look at the Seven Buddha Scripture. He didn’t expect that someone would actually invite him to look for the immortal cave of the owner of the Seven Buddha Scripture.

Noticing that Mo Wuji remained silent, Fox Chunchun continued, "The Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor had cultivated to the extreme and rumours spread that he had found the realm after the Grand Emperor Stage. Presently, we are all stuck at the same stage without being able to progress further which was why we hope to find the historical remnant of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor as it would definitely worth more than our own hundred years secluded cultivation."

"Isn’t the stage after the Immortal Emperor Stage called the Dao Emperor Stage?" Mo Wuji asked intentionally as he had heard from Feng Huang that it wasn’t the Dao Emperor Stage.

Ape Mo, who remained silent throughout chuckled coldly, "That is their own foolish fantasy because the Grand Emperor Stage was equivalent to our Demon Race’s Cla.s.s 9 experts. According to their logic, Cla.s.s 10 of our Demon Race should be equivalent to the Dao Emperor Stage but the truth was there would only be quant.i.tative changes when advancing from Cla.s.s 9 to Cla.s.s 10 and no qualitative changes involved. The lies about Dao Emperor were simply a joke."

Mo Wuji was impressed with Ape Mo because he simply didn’t expect this black ape to be able to say such logical words. Regardless, he was indeed interested to take a look at the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor’s historical remnant because he himself was stuck at the Immortal Reverent Realm. He really wanted to know how the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor further progress past the Grand Emperor Stage.

"Alright, I agree to go look for it with the few of you," Mo Wuji no longer hesitated as he agreed to the invitation of these three demonic beasts.

By being acquainted with these few fellas, he would at least have some familiar friends by the time he left this place.

"Big Brother Mo is indeed a forthright man," Golden Iron Crane praised excitedly.

"Immortal Friend Mo, I wonder if you could exchange one fruit which you obtained from Beaver Chu with me?" Hearing that Mo Wuji was willing to look for the historical remnants of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor with them, Ape Mo suddenly transmitted a message to Mo Wuji.

An item like the Transformation Dao Fruit was not particularly valuable to Mo Wuji but Mo Wuji was aware of how important and precious this fruit was to Ape Mo. He replied without any hesitation, "Of course! Once we’ve completed the search, I will trade the fruit with you."

"Alright, great! Many thanks Brother Mo, many thanks Brother Mo…" Ape Mo sounded slightly excited because he didn’t expect Mo Wuji to be this straightforward and easy going. If he knew that Mo Wuji was this easy going, he would have came over to trade with Mo Wuji earlier.

Previously, he took out a few items to trade with Beaver Chu for one Transformation Dao Fruit but that Beaver Chu was reluctant to trade and eventually resulting in losses on both side.

"Dao Friend Hu, could I invite you to lead the way? We could leave from wherever is the nearest," Mo Wuji said while laughing because he wanted to also ask about the route to leave this place.

Fox Chunchun said hurriedly, "This is not possible because the two fellas, Diao Hen and Bao Bu occupied the two large areas which lock up the exits here. If we were spotted by these two fellas on our way out, they would definitely not let us go peacefully. We will leave from Big Brother Ape Mo and Big Brother Jin’s territory and despite the longer route, it wouldn’t delay anything important."

Mo Wuji was astonished and glad that he didn’t choose to leave this place in a hurry. Listening to how Fox Chunchun and Golden Iron Crane mentioned about Diao Hen and Bao Bu twice, nothing good would probably come from being trapped by those two fellas.

Chapter 795: Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Fox Chunchun led the way with Golden Iron Crane just behind her followed by Mo Wuji and then Ape Mo watching the back. The four of them didn’t draw out their flying treasures as they simply moved swiftly on land.

Whether it was Fox Chunchun or Golden Iron Crane, their speed was extremely incredible as they looked like a ray of light flas.h.i.+ng by.

The reason why Fox Chunchun moved so fast was because she wanted to know if Mo Wuji’s speed was as incredible as his strength and aura. After moving for less than half an incense worth of time, Fox Chunchun, Golden Iron Crane and Ape Mo were all equally shocked. Whether they sped up or slowed down, moved through a bend or advanced through water, Mo Wuji appeared like he was strolling carefully as his actions looked effortless.

Evidently, all three of their speed would not be a match for Mo Wuji unless they used magic flying treasures. At this moment, Fox Chunchun started to suspect that Mo Wuji was not the Human Race but the Demon Race, who was extremely sensitive to speed.

"Dao Friend Ape, I accidentally broke my storage ring which contained the map of the Shattered Ruins in my previous battle. Do you still have any detailed spatial map of the Shattered Ruins on a jade letter to duplicate one copy for me?" Mo Wuji whispered to Ape Mo, who was moving behind him.

"Map of the Shattered Ruins?" Ape Mo asked the question again before saying, "I am truly sorry but I’ve never been to the Shattered Ruins so I don’t have that map."

Mo Wuji almost came to a halt as he heard this. As long as he wasn’t an idiot, he would know that Wu Li’s escape talisman didn’t send him into the depths of the Shattered Ruins. However, what kind of place would have this many experts if it wasn’t the Shattered Ruins?

"Ah, its okay then. I fought my way here and now I no longer know the path back to the Shattered Ruins," Mo Wuji was really interested to find out the exact location of the place he was in.

Ape Mo questioned curiously, "Dao Friend Mo, how did you arrive here at the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island?"

This place is the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island? Mo Wuji sensed Ape Mo’s doubt so he knew that he couldn’t continue to speak blindly because otherwise, Ape Mo would definitely detect it.

Mo Wuji sighed and said, "I was surrounded by eight Dao Emperors and after I killed one of them, I used an escape talisman to escape. I landed right where Beaver Li stayed at and you should be aware of everything that occurred after that.

Mo Wuji intentionally increased the number of Dao Emperors who surrounded him by 8 folds so that Ape Mo would feel frightened when he heard this. Ape Mo was rejoicing secretly that he didn’t try to s.n.a.t.c.h the Transformation Dao Fruit forcefully because he probably won"t know how he died even after death.

"Brother Mo, your sacred art is indeed impressive and I, Ape Mo, is full of admiration," Ape Mo said truthfully.

Ape Mo wouldn’t find it surprising if Mo Wuji managed to kill a Dao Emperor in a fight but to say that Mo Wuji killed one Dao Emperor while being surrounded by 8 of them before managing to escape successfully, this was simply too frightening. Even the 8 Grand Emperors in the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island wouldn’t be able to do so.

He didn’t suspect that Mo Wuji could be lying because it was true that Mo Wuji killed Beaver Chu. After a few encounters with Beaver Chu personally, Ape Mo knew that Beaver Chu was no weaker than him which meant that Mo Wuji could easily get rid of him too.

Mo Wuji shook his hand, "Brother Ape, this meant nothing but how do I leave this Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island now? This is my first time hearing about this island."

How was Mo Wuji supposed to leave this place if he had never heard of it before?

Perhaps it was because Ape Mo really wanted the Transformation Dao Fruit which was why he answered patiently, "Dao Friend Mo, I am afraid that it would be slightly tough for you to exit the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island once you’ve entered. Do you know about the Heaven’s Beyond Corridor?"

"I know of that and I also know that the Heaven’s Beyond Corridor is a decent place with quite a few decent items appearing occasionally," Mo Wuji answered without hesitation.

Since Ape Mo was finally talking about a place that he knew, he had to speak directly.

Ape Mo explained, "Honestly, the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island is quite similar to the Heaven’s Beyond Corridor. The island we are on is on the Oblique Sea and the Oblique Sea belonged to the s.p.a.ce which is why this place is called the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island. We are on the island now but once leave the island, you will be able to see what the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea looks like."

"Does Brother Ape have a map?" Mo Wuji asked hurriedly.

Ape Mo took out and handed Mo Wuji a jade letter, "Brother Mo, this is the map of the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island but giving it to you is equivalent to not giving at all."

"Why?" Mo Wuji asked inquisitively as he took over the map.

Ape Mo sighed, "Because there are eight peak grade experts on the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island and they are called the Eight Great Grand Emperors. The Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island have countless of mighty demon cultivators but the strongest would be the Eight Great Grand Emperors. These Eight Great Grand Emperors actually sealed up a large portion of the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island using their own defensive array and the island itself was also protected very tightly. Anyone who wished to leave the island would alert the Eight Great Grand Emperors and eventually be killed. No one is allowed to leave this place."

Mo Wuji took in a deep breath of cold air as he was inwardly rejoicing that he didn’t choose to leave rashly.

"Won’t we be spotted since we are leaving now?" Mo Wuji hurried to ask.

Ape Mo chuckled, "You don’t have to worry about this because with Fox Chunchun leading the way, it would be safe and moreover, we wouldn’t be leaving the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island as we would simply be looking for some opportunities at the periphery of the island. Many people are there in search of opportunities and at that point in time, all we needed to do would be to offer them some benefits."

"Brother Ape, are Diao Hen and Bao Bu two of the Eight Great Grand Emperors?" Mo Wuji asked.

Ape Mo replied, "Yes, out of the Eight Great Grand Emperors, these two are the hardest to work with because they are selfish and greedy. This time, we will be heading towards the Red Eyes Turtle’s territory because he was considered to easiest to negotiate terms with."

Mo Wuji’s spiritual will scanned through Ape Mo’s jade letter and the instance he saw what he saw on the jade letter, he was left speechless.

Mo Wuji had seen way too many seas in the world but this was the first time Mo Wuji saw something like the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea. Even the energy exuded from the map on the jade letter felt vast and magnificent. A boundless sea suspended in the middle of s.p.a.ce and from the position seen from the jade letter, this vast sea seemed to be inclined on a slope within the vast s.p.a.ce.

Within the slanted sea, there was a lot of islands and one of them was marked out with a bright spot. Mo Wuji knew that this bright spot should be where they were located at and besides that, some territories owned by the Eight Great Grand Emperors were also marked out.

Mo Wuji kept the jade letter as he was prepared to take a deeper look at this map when he had spare time. He must find at least one safe route before preparing himself to the fullest before leaving this island.

Enroute to their destination, Mo Wuji saw a few low tier immortal herbs and even spotted Tier 7 immortal herbs. Evidently, this island was pretty rich in resources.

Fox Chunchun didn’t appear like it was her first time navigating through this path as she turned left and right swifty.

After moving for almost half a day, Fox Chunchun finally came to a halt before looking at Mo Wuji and the two others, "Three Big Brothers, right ahead of us would be Big Brother Red Eyes’ territory. There is a path from Big Brother Red Eyes’ territory which we can walk through but to do so, we needed to each take out something in exchange. I am going to offer a top grade immortal vein."

"I am also taking out a top grade immortal vein," Golden Iron Crane hurried to add in.

Ape Mo looked at Mo Wuji as he asked, "What is Immortal Friend Mo intending to take out?"

Mo Wuji replied, "Can I use green crystals?"

From his own senses, the energy from the green crystals was much denser and of a higher grade than immortal veins but immortal veins were of much broader use to immortals than green crystals.

Fox Chunchun paused for a moment before answering, "Big Brother Mo, it would be better if you used immortal vein. Big Brother Red Eyes is a negotiable person so it would be better if we don’t shortchange him. Who knows if we ever need Big Brother Red Eyes’ help in the future to go to the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea?"

Mo Wuji questioned, "Could green crystals not be as good as immortal vein?"

Golden Iron Crane chuckled as he said, "This is what the people at the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos believed because in the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island, n.o.body would think that green crystals are better than immortal veins. Cultivating with green crystals is indeed fast and the energy within is also of a higher grade than immortal energy. However, don’t forget that green crystals are only fragments of another crystal and is not a complete crystal of its own."

An item like this lacked the Heaven and Earth’s dao spirituality and also lacked the dao spirituality of enlightenment. The only advantage of cultivating with the green crystals would be the rate of cultivation. On the other hand, there were far too many disadvantages and one example for cultivators who used large amount of green crystals to cultivate would be being stuck at the same stage without being able to progress further. Another example would be that the capability of gaining insights of sacred art would be weaker and it wouldn’t be beneficial for further advancements."

Fox Chunchun added, "Fragments like the green crystals contained energy which belonged to a much higher grade crystal. If we are not at that level and we choose to use green crystals to cultivate, we would merely be absorbing the elemental energy within it. Once we’ve cultivated to the level that we’re at, we are all aware at that cultivation requires both elemental energy and insights of the Heaven and Earth dao spirituality."

Mo Wuji was feeling slightly agonized because he had treated the millions of green crystals on him as treasures while he put away the three immortal veins in his Undying World. It seemed like experts of the G.o.ds Race didn’t hold high regard for immortal veins because out of the five storage rings which he took, he only obtained three peak grade immortal veins. His guess was that the intermediate and top grade immortal veins were used to install their own energy gathering array.

Mo Wuji started to wonder if the reason why he couldn’t step into the Immortal Emperor Stage was related to his use of green crystals to cultivate.

"Could I use a True Emperor Pill then?" Mo Wuji really didn’t want to take out his peak grade immortal vein because he intended to head back to use his immortal vein to cultivate instead of green crystals.

"You have a True Emperor Pill?" Fox Chunchun exclaimed and before she could wait for Mo Wuji to respond, she took the initiative, "It is definitely possible with the True Emperor Pill because this is extremely valuable in the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island."

Mo Wuji took out a jade vase to Fox Chunchun as he said, "I won’t need this now so let’s give it away then."

Fox Chunchun didn’t mind because as she thought of it, Mo Wiji had already stepped into the Immortal Emperor Stage a long time ago. A mightily strong Immortal Emperor naturally didn’t need the True Emperor Pill. What gained her admiration was that Mo Wuji was actually willing to take out a True Emperor Pill and one must know that the True Emperor Pill was extremely valuable here in the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island.

Chapter 796: Battling One Of The Eight Great Grand Emperors

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

The few of them pa.s.sed their things over to Fox Chunchun. With Fox Chunchun leading the way, they soon arrived at a huge and s.p.a.cious plaza.

Even though it looks like a plaza, Mo Wuji knew that it was actually a pier. Three sides of the plaza were surrounded by seawater, and the entire s.p.a.ce was protected by arrays. Clearly, this plaza was the pier to enter the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea.

There were many people in the plaza, and they were of various kinds of shapes and forms. Demonic beasts that were in their true forms occupied a good half of the plaza. There were even some plant-like beings that came to the plaza. Mo Wuji did not seem to find another true human race cultivator.

Mo Wuji and co. followed behind Fox Chunchun. When they reached the edge of the pier, Fox Chunchun handed over three high-grade immortal veins and a True Emperor Pill.

"Eh, there"s a True Emperor Pill?" A sound of exclamation came from the seafaring fee collection window.

"Who brought a True Emperor Pill?" A deep voice sounded. Thereafter, a muscular and st.u.r.dy man walked over.

This man exuded a power which seemed capable of tearing through anything, and his stature was not much smaller than Ape Mo. Additionally, there were multiple white tattoos on this man"s head, and his arms were extremely long. Even though he was so tall, his long arms extended beyond his knees; they even seemed capable of touching his heels.

"Fox Chunchun greets Territory Lord Bao." When she saw this man, Fox Chunchun"s face changed slightly and she hurriedly bowed in respect.

It wasn"t just Fox Chunchun, even Ape Mo and the Golden Iron Crane bowed respectfully. Mo Wuji did not recognise this man, but after hearing Fox Chunchun address him as "Territory Lord" and feeling his immense power, Mo Wuji could guess that he was one of the Eight Great Grand Emperors feared by Fox Chunchun and co. - Bao Bu.

Mo Wuji didn"t want to offend this person, so he followed Fox Chunchun and co., and clasped his fists.

"Little fox, it"s clearly closer for you to enter the sea from my territory. Why did you go the distance to come to Red Eyes’s territory?Do you look down on me, Bao Bu?" The muscular man stared at Fox Chunchun through squinted eyes and snorted coldly.

Fox Chunchun went still; she was momentarily unable to speak. After all, she couldn"t say that they didn"t dare to leave from Bao Bu’s territory because they were afraid of him, right?

"Haha! Little Brother Bao Bu, since you"ve come to my territory, why didn"t you come and pay a visit? You made me think that you were here to s.n.a.t.c.h my territory." A loud chortle broke the silence. Following which, a middle-aged man which a relatively normal stature walked over. This middle-aged man had copper skin, and there were occasional flashes of red in his eyes.

Even though his size was much smaller than Bao Bu, the moment this man walked over, that overbearing pressure of Bao Bu"s was instantly negated.

Bao Bu was one of the Eight Great Grand Emperors. Seeing that this relatively short man easily dismiss Bao Bu"s immense aura, Mo Wuji could easily guess that this man should also be one of the Eight Great Grand Emperors - Red Eyes Turtle.

"I was pursuing someone. I was intending to pay a visit to Brother Red Eyes, but I didn’t think that I would encounter the people I was pursuing," Bao Bu replied similarly with a chuckle.

"Oh, I wonder who Little Brother Bao is pursuing?" Red Eyes Turtle asked in astonishment.

Mo Wuji could already see that Bao Bu had some reservations towards Red Eyes Turtle. At least in terms of address, Bao Bu didn’t dare to place himself on a higher seniority than Red Eyes Turtle.

"My things have been stolen. I chased them following their aura and I finally found some loose threads here," Bao Bu said indifferently.

Mo Wuji saw that when Bao Bu was speaking, Bao Bu’s gaze towards them. He silently lamented in his heart.

"What kind of things?" Red Eyes Turtle asked in doubt.

Bao Bu’s tone became more casual, "Just some things of little value. There are some True Emperor Pills among them…"

"True Emperor Pills?" Red Eyes Turtle was incomparably shocked. He had come relatively late and he didn’t know that one of those True Emperor Pills had already fallen into his possession.

On this Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea island, there was no dearth of immortal herbs. In fact, the amount of peak grade immortal herbs here was enough to even form a hill. However, various kinds of pills were very rare, much less a Tier 9 pill like the True Emperor Pill.

This sort of pill was already very rare among the alchemy-adept human race. This was even more p.r.o.nounced on this island.

Bao Bu pointed towards Mo Wuji and co. and he said with a cold chill in his voice, "Just now, that True Emperor Pill was from the four of you, right? Follow me back to Thousand Mountains Channel to explain yourselves."

Red Eyes Turtle did not know the exact situation, but he could feel that there was something amiss in Bao Bu’s words. However, he also didn’t want to offend Bao Bu for no reason.

At this point, Mo Wuji noticed that Fox Chunchun seemed like she wanted to speak, and he knew that things weren’t going to go well. The group of them were merely strangers that met by chance; they were only a team that was formed temporarily to search the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor’s treasures. If Fox Chunchun were to speak, she would definitely throw the three of them under the bus so that she would be absolved of the blame.

"Let me speak." Mo Wuji took a step forward, standing in front of Fox Chunchun.

When Fox Chunchun saw Mo Wuji stand forward, she also didn’t dare to say anything further. At this point, Mo Wuji transmitted a message to Ape Mo and asked, "Brother Shuai, the territory that I’m living in belongs to which Grand Emperor?"

Ape Mo did not find this shocking; he knew that Mo Wuji had accidentally barged into the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island and didn’t know much about the powers here. He immediately answered Mo Wuji’s message in a transmission, "You killed Beaver Chu, so that pool is your personal territory. In the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island, every expert has their own territory and these territories don’t belong to any Grand Emperor. However, the Eight Great Grand Emperors’ territories border the sea. Anyone that wishes to set out to sea must go through them. This is how they ama.s.s large fortunes for themselves."

So it was like that. After Mo Wuji understood that point, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Brother Red Eyes, Bao Bu is uttering nonsense. He probably knows that I can concoct pills, which is why he wants to capture me and have me concoct pills for me. That True Emperor Pill was concocted by me, but he actually used it as an excuse to capture me. He is simply shameless."

"You can concoct the True Emperor Pill?"

"You are a Tier 9 Pill Emperor?"

Red Eyes Turtle and Bao Bu uttered in exclamation at almost the same time. Even Fox Chunchun and co. stared at Mo Wuji in shock.

Who didn’t know about the value of a Tier 9 Pill Emperor? In Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island, a Tier 9 Pill Emperor, or a person that controls a Tier 9 Pill Emperor, would definitely become a first-rate power in this island.

"Haha!" Bao Bu was the first to react. He chortled loudly and said, "Who are you to speak of such extravagant claims! Today, you stole my items, so you must follow me. Brother Red Eyes, I, Bao Bu, am dragging away a thief on your territory. Bao Bu would definitely compensate you for this act."

From Bao Bu’s exclamation, Red Eyes Turtle could already tell that Bao Bu should be lying. However, he was one of the Eight Great Grand Emperors. Before verifying whether Mo Wuji was truly a Tier 9 Pill Emperor, it really wasn’t his place to interfere. After all, Bao Bu occupied the logical standpoint here.

Feeling the immense pressure that Bao Bu was releasing, Fox Chunchun and co. subconsciously retreated. Mo Wuji wielded his Half Moon Weighted Halberd, furiously released his whirlpool and said coldly, "Bao Bu, you killed my friend Beaver Chu, stole Beaver Chu’s storage ring and his five Emperor Dao Fruit. Even if you don’t come to me, I would never let you go."

Bao Bu jolted. Since when did he kill Beaver Chu? He stole Beaver Chu’s Emperor Dao Fruit? At the very next instant, he reacted. Just like how he was maligning Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji was framing him.

By this time, Mo Wuji’s Half Moon Weighted Halberd had already slashed forward: Sacred Art - Remnant Chasm.

A lofty and boundless halberd light was rapidly being compressed by Mo Wuji till it was only 30,000 meters long. This 30,000m halberd light directly sealed the s.p.a.ce around, At this instant, even Fox Chunchun and co., who were outside the domain of this halberd light, could feel the chilling killing intent released by this halberd light.

"Boom!" Before this halberd light could descend, Mo Wujis and Bao Bu’s domain clashed.

What left Bao Bu shocked was that even when facing his savage domain, Mo Wuji’s domain only dissipated slightly and recovered quickly. That whirlpool power within Mo Wuji’s domain left him momentarily unable to release his control the surrounding s.p.a.ce.

Before Bao Bu could study Mo Wuji’s domain, that sky-splitting halberd light had already descended. Anything in its way was directly ripped apart.

Bao Bu extended an arm and blocked Mo Wuji’s Half Moon Weighted Halberd. Waves of explosion reverberated through the air; both Mo Wuji’s and Bao Bu’s domains started to shatter.

Mo Wuji was inwardly shocked. His Half Moon Weight Halberd was a peak Grade 9 immortal equipment. Even if Bao Bu’s physique was impressive, and even if Bao Bu inherited insane qualities from his demonic beast legacy, Bao Bu still couldn’t use his mere arms to defend against his Grade 9 Half Moon Weighted Halberd, right?

Previously, he also used his fist to deal with immortal equipments. However, that was his Domain Crus.h.i.+ng Fist; it was a sort of sacred art. Bao Bu clearly wasn’t using some sacred art; he was simply using his arm to defend against the Half Moon Halberd Halberd.

"Boom!" The sound of a violent clash resounded through the air. Immortal elemental energy exploded and domains shattered.

A strong rebound from the Half Moon Weighted Halberd landed back on Mo Wuji, sending him flying back for tens of meters. He barely managed to maintain standing. His sea of consciousness was roiling continuously and the immortal elemental energy within his meridians was in chaos.

Mo Wuji forcefully swallowed the blood that was forced into his mouth. His heart turned cold; compared to Bao Bu, he was truly too weak. If he didn’t think of something, then this might be his final resting place.

As Mo Wuji’s heart pounded, Bao Bu’s heart was also incomparably shocked. The way he saw it, that punch of his should have maimed Mo Wuji. However, Mo Wuji only retreated for a few tens of meters; Mo Wuji didn’t even cough out any blood. Clearly, this self-proclaimed Tier 9 Pill Emperor was very impressive.

Don’t underestimate his move as a casual punch; Bao Bu knew clearly that his arms were his magic treasures. His arms were no weaker than Grade 9 immortal equipments; they might even be stronger.

Compared to magic treasures, his arms were part of his body. Thus, they could move freely at will without any sort of sluggishness or delay. Moreover, he felt that Mo Wuji did not seem to have entered the Immortal Emperor Stage yet. If this guess was true, then this fella was truly too terrifying. He definitely had to get rid of Mo Wuji before he matures any further. Otherwise, if this fella advances to the Immortal Emperor Stage, then he, Bao Bu, could only wait and die.

As he thought of this, Bao Bu erupted with his domain once more. His aura seemed to surge to its peak. With a single step, he appeared in front of Mo Wuji and he prepared for his next attack.

Chapter 797: The Jiaolong Enters The Sea

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Mo Wuji"s spiritual will turned to the seals at the edge of the pier; he wanted to see whether he could break through those seals in an instant, then escape into the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea.

He had to escape. No matter what he did, he wouldn"t be a match for Bao Bu. He could use his Spiritual Will Arrow, but Mo Wuji believed that even if he did that, it would not be enough to defeat Bao Bu. Moreover, if he uses the Spiritual Will Arrow, he would enter a state of extreme weakness. At that time, he would simply be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"Wait." Just as Mo Wuji decided to sacrifice a Grade 9 defensive treasure to bear a blow from Bao Bu and use that opportunity to tear through the seals of the pier, Red Eyes Turtle called out.

As he said this, Red Eyes Turtle had already landed in front of Bao Bu.

Bao Bu’s overbearing pressure was swept away by Red Eyes Turtle. At this time, Mo Wuji continued to retreat by several meters. He was still prepared to tear open the seals and escape at any given moment. He had scanned the array with his spirit storage channel and he knew that this defensive array was not a Grade 9 array. He had confidence that he would be able to escape in a short time.

Red Eyes Turtle looked more honest than Bao Bu. However, Mo Wuji never believed in such things; he only believed in personal power.

As long as one is powerful enough, then would one have the rights to speak.

"Brother Red Eyes, you want to interfere with a brother"s matter?" Bao Bu had an ugly expression on his face, but he didn"t continue to attack.

Red Eyes Turtle was no weaker than him and this was Red Eyes Turtle"s territory. Additionally, according to the history of Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island, his age was not even half of this Red Eyes Turtle in front of him.

Red Eyes Turtle chuckled, "Little Brother Bao Bu, you can"t say that. We"re both from the Eight Great Grand Emperors; I will naturally help you. It"s just that my territory emphasizes reason and logic. Previously, I believed that this person had stolen your treasures, which was why I didn"t act. However, this person just said that you killed his friend, Beaver Chu, and even robbed five Emperor Dao Fruits. This puts me in a predicament. I don"t know who is speaking the truth, and who is telling lies."

Mo Wuji sighed in relief. His previous words have taken effect. When he said that he could concoct Tier 9 immortal pills, both Red Eyes Turtle and Bao Bu would desperately try to get him. Thereafter, he showed that he was capable of resisting Bao Bu. Thus, Red Eyes Turtle had a greater impression of him and decided to help him. If he didn"t say that he was a Tier 9 Pill Emperor, he was sure that an old fox like Red Eyes Turtle wouldn’t bother to even come forward.

Bao Bu"s expression went overcast, "Does that mean that Brother Red Eyes wants to help the man that stole my things? If that"s the case, then don"t blame me if I invite some brothers to come seek justice for me."

Red Eyes Turtle maintained the wide smile on his face as he said, "Could it be that Brother Bao doesn"t understand me, Red Eyes? Why would I do such a thing? Of course, it"s because I heard what this brother said. If this brother is willing to have a sit at my residences, I will naturally be more than willing to extend an invitation. I, Red Eyes, have always been a good host. Otherwise, there wouldn"t be so many friends entering the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea from my territory. If this brother isn"t willing to visit my residences now, I"m also willing to welcome him at another time."

"May I ask how I can address this brother?" Red Eyes Turtle acted as though he didn"t notice Bao Bu"s gloomy expression as he turned to clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji also clasped his fists, "Mo Wuji. I really have to thank Brother Red Eyes for speaking up for me."

"There’s no need for that. I, Red Eyes, have always done things on the side of reason. Where is Brother Mo heading to now? If you"re interested in being a guest at my residences, I, Red Eyes, will definitely welcome you warmly," Red Eyes Turtle said with a warm smile.

He was sure that Mo Wuji would definitely request to follow him. After all, there was nowhere else that Mo Wuji could go. Besides his residences, anywhere else that Mo Wuji went would be in danger of Bao Bu"s pursuit.

Bao Bu was feeling very helpless; he knew that Mo Wuji would definitely choose to go with Red Eyes. If Mo Wuji follows Red Eyes, then it would be difficult for him to capture Mo Wuji, this Tier 9 Pill Emperor.

"Many thanks, Brother Red Eyes. I intend to go to the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea. I have already paid the seafaring fees. When I return from the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea, I would definitely pay a visit to Brother Red Eyes to show my grat.i.tude," Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said.

Red Eyes Turtle was momentarily stunned. Mo Wuji was still going to the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea? Was this Mo Wuji trying to court death? However, he had already said those words and it was too late for him to regret.

Bao Bu, on the other hand, was filled with mad glee. He was originally intending to invite some of his brothers to cause trouble for Red Eyes Turtle. After all, a Tier 9 Pill Emperor was an impressive existence. At least on this Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea Island, none of the Grand Emperors could afford to disregard one.

Mo Wuji did not wait for Red Eyes Turtle to respond as he handed a sealed jade box over to Ape Mo and said, "Brother Ape, I will hand this over to you first. I will come and visit your Shattered Mountain to take my items back."

As he finished saying that, Mo Wuji then sent a transmission to Ape Mo, Fox Chunchun and the Golden Iron Crane, "I will wait for you guys at the Oblique Sea. I will contact you guys after I throw off Bao Bu."

Fox Chunchun and co. looked at Mo Wuji in shock as he slowly walked towards the exit to the Oblique Sea. They were in a state of disbelief. Mo Wuji clearly knew that Bao Bu would pursue him but he still dared to enter the Oblique Sea alone. His b.a.l.l.s were clearly big enough to cover the skies,

Indeed, just as Mo Wuji left, Bao Bu clasped his fists towards Red Eyes Turtle and said, "Brother Red Eyes, I was just intending to enjoy the sights around the Oblique Sea. I will bid my farewells for now."

Bao Bu didn’t even bother acting as he directly followed behind Mo Wuji into the Oblique Sea.

Fox Chunchun and co. weren’t in a rush to leave. They were sure that Red Eyes Turtle would definitely question them about Mo Wuji. At this moment, however, Ape Mo was especially agitated. He didn’t think that Mo Wuji would be so generous to actually give him the Elemental Dao Fruit beforehand. This caused his impression of Mo Wuji to soar rapidly. He had also checked the jade box, there wasn’t any spiritual will imprint of any kind.

Unfortunately, he didn’t understand Mo Wuji. If Mo Wuji wanted to make a spiritual will imprint, even Bao Bu wouldn’t be able to notice it, much less him.

…

The moment Mo Wuji entered the Oblique Sea, his Wind Escape Technique was stimulated to its maximum ability. Instants later, he thoroughly disappeared into the depths of the Oblique Sea like a gentle breeze.

Mo Wuji had never considered that he wouldn’t be able to escape from Bao Bu’s pursuit. As long as he could enter the Oblique Sea, he wouldn’t need to place Bao Bu on his heart. Once he enters the Oblique Sea, he would be like a Jiaolong. [1] If not for his insufficient abilities, he would have even stopped to install some killing arrays and prepare an ambush for Bao Bu.

After experiencing that fist of Bao Bu’s, Mo Wuji was deeply stunned by Bao Bu’s overbearing power. Bao Bu was even stronger than that G.o.ds Race Dao Emperor that he killed previously. Facing such an expert, he could only barely eliminate the other party at the very most, and that would be at the cost of heavy injuries. Additionally, incurring heavy injuries in a place like this was akin to death. Mo Wuji did not wish to pit his life against a Demon Emperor like this.

Bao Bu seemed to have followed right behind Mo Wuji. However, the moment he entered the Oblique Sea, he was dumbfounded. Where was Mo Wuji? There didn’t even seem to be any ripples in the s.p.a.ce around the area.

According to his previous intentions, even if Mo Wuji’s escape art was any stronger, he would be able to trace Mo Wuji through spatial ripples. Only now did he realise that his intentions were simply a huge joke.

As Mo Wuji reached the depths of Oblique Sea, he noticed the sloping sea and his heart was filled with incomparable shock. Compared to the description on the jade letter, this sloping sea surface of the Oblique Sea was simply majestic.

Back on Earth, the sea surface looked like a curve. This was because the Earth was spherical; so the sea surface would be curved like a sphere as well.

The sea surface here, however, was like a flat slope which extended as far as the eye could see. The sea surface was gleaming in the sunlight, leaving one feeling its vastness and boundlessness.

Knowing that Bao Bu wouldn’t be able to find him, Mo Wuji wasn’t in a rush to leave. Now that he had entered the Oblique Sea, he would have to advance to the Immortal Emperor Stage before he could return to the Oblique Sea Island.

After a little more than two hours, Mo Wuji felt Ape Mo’s position. He did not hesitate to speed over.

Above this vast and boundless Oblique Sea, Mo Wuji’s Wind Escape Technique allowed him to be like a fish in water. He did not leave a single trace as he sped across the surface of the water.

"Should we send Brother Mo a message?" After the three entered the depths of the Oblique Sea, Ape Mo could no longer hold this thought in.

Fox Chunchun’s tone was indifferent, "Big Brother Ape, Big Brother Mo is currently being pursued by Bao Bu. It wouldn’t be appropriate for us to send him a message, right?"

There was one more sentence that Fox Chunchun didn’t say. That was if Mo Wuji had already fallen into Bao Bu’s hands, sending a message would lead Bao Bu to them. With Bao Bu’s overwhelming strength, the three of them wouldn’t be a match even if they joined hands.

"But that ruins requires four people to open." Ape Mo’s character was straightforward. Since he had received Mo Wuji’s Elemental Dao Fruit Transformation Dao Fruit, he felt that they should wait for Mo Wuji.

Fox Chunchun was just about to say something when their communication beads suddenly lit up simultaneously.

"Brother Mo is sending us a message. He’s asking us where we are." Golden Iron Crane uttered in astonishment. He thought that since Mo Wuji was being pursued by Bao Bu, it was likely that Mo Wuji had already perished. He didn’t expect that Mo Wuji would send a message after such a short time.

"That fella Bao Bu is vicious and devious. Could he have caught Brother Mo, then…"

Fox Chunchun didn’t manage to finish her sentence when Mo Wuji’s voice sounded from behind them, "Fortunately you guys haven’t gone far. I was able to catch up."

"Brother Mo, how did you know that we were here?" Golden Iron Crane’s voice was filled with shock. The Oblique Sea was vast and boundless. To find them in such a short amount of time was definitely not an easy act.

Mo Wuji was already approaching them. He smiled and said, "I can only say that I’m lucky. I simply sent a message to the three of you, and I felt a spatial ripple in this direction. I decided to come over to take a look, and it was indeed the three of you."

Fox Chunchun chuckled, seemingly believing that it was truly based on luck. She was carefree as she said, "Big Brother Mo, you’ve truly come at the right time. You came just when we were thinking of how we could find you. Now that the four of us have gathered, we can finally begin. This time, I will continue leading the way. The three big brothers only need to follow behind me."

As they were speaking, Fox Chunchun already activated her flying treasure. Mo Wuji also retrieved his flying treasure and followed behind Fox Chunchun.

"Brother Mo…" Ape Mo controlled his flying treasure to move next to Mo Wuji. He seemed to want to say something.

Mo Wuji smiled and waved his hand, "Brother Ape, we hit it off right from the start. Next time I visit your Shattered Mountain, let me take a look at your immortal herbs."

"Brother Mo is really a Tier 9 Pill Emperor?" Ape Mo asked in alarm. He thought that Mo Wuji was merely boasting previously to get out of the situation.

"That’s right, I’m indeed a Tier 9 Pill Emperor." Mo Wuji did not act humble. Ape Mo and co. were vastly weaker than Bao Bu. He was completely able to deal with them; so there was no need to continue behaving modestly.

Chapter 798: Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor"s Ruins

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Ape Mo didn"t ask any further. Instead, he threw a storage ring towards Mo Wuji and said, "Brother Mo, these are some immortal herbs that I found. I will give some to you to compensate for that fruit you gave me. If you have leftover pills, you can give me one or two vases."

Ape Mo was straightforward, but he was not a fool. In fact, he was very experienced. During this period of interaction with Mo Wuji, he knew that Mo Wuji didn"t have the same character as Fox Chunchun. When dealing with a person like Mo Wuji, one cannot play mind games. Instead, one must reciprocate sincerity with sincerity. Mo Wuji had given him a Transformation Dao Fruit. If he acted ignorantly and didn"t reciprocate, he was sure that he would be the next Beaver Chu.

If he displayed his sincerity in front of a person like Mo Wuji, he was sure that Mo Wuji wouldn"t disadvantage him.

Among the three partners, Mo Wuji appreciated Ape Mo the most. He wasn"t scheming like Fox Chunchun, nor overly wary like the Golden Iron Crane. Not only that, Ape Mo knew how to act according to the circ.u.mstances.

As expected, he didn"t even mention the matter of the Transformation Dao Fruit, but Ape Mo had taken the initiative to give him a storage ring.

Mo Wuji"s spiritual will penetrated into Ape Mo"s storage ring and he was greeted by large amounts of high-grade immortal herbs, enough to form a mountain. Moreover, the lowest ones were already at Tier 8. Previously, he framed Bao Bu for stealing five Emperor Dao Fruits from Beaver Chu. Now, he actually found Emperor Dao Fruits within Ape Mo"s ring, albeit only two of them.

One must know that a single Emperor Dao Fruit was enough to cause huge waves within the Immortal World. But now, Ape Mo had given him two of them at one go. Even other rare herbs like the Undying Holy Bamboo and the True Emperor Seeking Heart Flower could be found within Ape Mo’s ring.

To the Demon Race, the Transformation Dao Fruit was a peerless treasure. However, to Mo Wuji, it really wasn"t worth much. Even though Mo Wuji had already given the Transformation Dao Fruit to Ape Mo, Ape Mo still reciprocated with so much good stuff. [1] Clearly, Ape Mo truly wanted to befriend him. It also shows that Ape Mo wasn"t a person of a black heart, but a person worth befriending.

Mo Wuji kept the storage ring, clasped his fists and said, "Brother Ape, a friend like you is worth befriending. When I"m done concocting pills, I will definitely invite Brother Ape over to receive some pills."

His Undying World had not been perfected, and that water pool of Beaver Chu could not be moved. Since he had befriended Ape Mo, he could also invite Ape Mo over to his territory and help Ape Mo temper his physique.

"Many thanks, Brother Mo. It"s my, Ape Mo"s, honour to be able to obtain Brother Mo"s invitation." When he heard Mo Wuji"s words, Ape Mo was filled with elation.

He didn’t think that Mo Wuji was feigning courtesy. He hadn’t actually gone to that water pool of Beaver Chu’s before.

Fox Chunchun and Golden Iron Crane noticed that Mo Wuji and Ape Mo seemed to have undergone a trade. However, this matter wasn"t related to them; it was enough if everyone would work together to open the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor"s ruins when the time comes.

As the group continued on their journey, Mo Wuji could not help but sigh at the vastness of the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea. They had already been travelling for more than ten days, and according to Ape Mo, they were still far from the borders of the Oblique s.p.a.ce Sea.

Another five days pa.s.sed before Fox Chunchun stopped. She turned towards the rest and said, "We are here. Everyone, keep your flying treasures, then follow me down."

Mo Wuji looked at Fox Chunchun in doubt. He really didn"t know how Fox Chunchun was able to find this location. This was just an ordinary spot in the Oblique Sea; there was no sort of irregularities whatsoever.

Fox Chunchun"s next action quickly resolved Mo Wuji"s doubts: she took out a jade compa.s.s.

Mo Wuji"s spiritual will landed on this jade compa.s.s and he saw that it was indeed pointing towards this spot.

Hu Chunchun didn"t waste any words as she directly activated the jade compa.s.s. The rims of the jade compa.s.s began to emit nirvanic light. The seawater around them began to disperse as an array gate appeared in front of them.

Fox Chunchun didn"t hesitate as she stepped into the array gate. Mo Wuji and co. didn"t fall behind and they followed right behind her.

As Mo Wuji entered the array gate, he felt emptiness below him. But before he could examine his surroundings, his two feet landed on hard ground.

The array gate behind him had changed into rows of screens. These screens seemed to be made entirely out of water. In front of them was a path paved from golden bricks. This path was 3 meters wide and it extended into the distance. Mo Wuji sighed in emotion; there was no need to talk about anything else, just the sheer amount of golden bricks required was already astounding.

Fox Chunchun pointed towards the water screens behind them and said, "This is the way out. If you step through these screens, you will arrive back at the surface of the Oblique Sea. No one can enter this place without my jade compa.s.s. Of course, I’m not trying to show off my accomplishments. Since I, Fox Chunchun, invited you three bigger brothers, then we would all contribute equally. It’s just that before we begin, I feel that there’s something that we need to clarify."

"Junior Sister Chunchun, please speak." Golden Iron Crane was the first to clasp his fist and reply. His tone was slightly emotional. It was probably due to the thought that this was the ruins of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor. Perhaps because of this fortune, he might become an existence no weaker than the Eight Great Grand Emperors.

"This is indeed the ruins of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor. However, even I don’t know what the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor had left behind within these ruins. Thus, before we begin exploring the ruins, we need to discuss how we are going to split the treasures that we find," Fox Chunchun continued.

Ape Mo nodded his head, "Junior Sister Chunchun is right. Such matters need to be discussed beforehand. That way, we can prevent any hurt and animosity."

Fox Chunchun turned to Mo Wuji, "Big Brother Mo, what do you think?"

Mo Wuji smiled and said, "I also agree that we should discuss this. How about this, after we open the ruins, anything that can be shared will be split equally. Anything else would depend on our individual fates. Of course, Junior Sister Chunchun was the one who led the way; so she could have a slightly higher share when we split."

"I agree with Brother Mo’s words." Ape Mo was the first one to respond.

"I also agree," Golden Iron Crane hurriedly said.

Fox Chunchun bowed towards the three of them, "Then I will have to thank the three big brothers. Now, let’s follow along with this golden path to its end."

In reality, Fox Chunchun knew that if she didn’t bring Mo Wuji and co. here, she would never be able to open the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor’s ruins. This wasn’t the first time that she came here.

The golden path was thousands of meters long. Mo Wuji led the way, with his spiritual will cautiously scanning the surroundings. He soon discovered that the entire path was surrounded by various kinds of killing arrays. However, the energy source of these arrays should have been removed or depleted, causing the arrays to be in a state of paralysis. If not for that, things wouldn’t have been so easy for them.

The group didn’t walk especially fast, but they only needed half an incense’s time to reach the end. When they saw what was in front of them, they finally realised why Fox Chunchun required help.

This was a Four Element One Door Array. The Four Element One Door Array was an activation method. It was a commonly seen activation method; so even novices of the Array Dao knew about it. This activation method required four people to simultaneously inject elemental energy of different elements to the four array bases. Only by doing this, would a door appear.

Even if Fox Chunchun came a hundred times, she would never be able to open this door by herself.

Mo Wuji’s standards of the Array Dao was infinitesimally close to Grade 9. The moment he scanned the area with his spiritual will, he knew that this entire area was a killing array. This Four Element One Door Array was the array heart of this killing array. The moment this array heart was ignited by four people, the killing array would be activated.

As for the reason why there was a killing array, Mo Wuji wasn’t too sure. However, he knew two points: 1. The Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor wasn’t a kind man; 2. After igniting the array heart, the door would definitely open.

However, all these observations about the killing array weren’t important. This was because the immortal vein powering the array was severely depleted. If the four of them stimulated the Four Element One Door Array, they would only activate the door, and not the killing array.

"I’m sure everyone knows that this array is; it’s the Four Element One Door. Now, the four of us will each go to an array base and simultaneously ignite this array heart." After saying this, Fox Chunchun was the first to walk towards an array base by the side.

Mo Wuji and the rest also didn’t waste any time as they reached walked to an array base.

The four of them simultaneously released injected their immortal elemental energy. A faint golden light shone from the array heart. This golden light soon transformed into a solid key. After this key formed fully, a faint door appeared in front of the four of them.

The huge door soon became tangible. With a "Jiya" sound, the door started to open slowly.

"We’ve succeeded. Everyone, let’s go in." Fox Chunchun was the first to charge into the door.

Mo Wuji’s Wind Escape Technique was faster. While Fox Chunchun was the first to enter, he easily overtook her. Immediately, he grabbed an inconspicuous grey stone.

At the same time, Mo Wuji saw Hu Chunchun pick up a lotus flower. Mo Wuji suspected that this was one the three treasures of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor - the One Buddha Lotus Seat.

Golden Iron Crane kept a golden coloured wooden fish, while Ape Mo grabbed a Buddhist staff.

Besides these items, there was also a stack of extreme grade immortal veins. There were at least 50 to 60 of them.

None of the four touched these extreme-grade immortal veins. This was because everyone had discussed it before; those that can be split will be split. There was no use to s.n.a.t.c.hing for them.

Hu Chunchun coughed and said, "It seems like everyone’s fortunes are far from ordinary. Now, how will we split these immortal veins?"

"Junior Sister Chunchun, you should have obtained the One Buddha Lotus Seat, right? Even though I also obtained a wooden fish, it is only a simple magic treasure. Compared to Junior Sister Chunchun, mine is far too inferior," Golden Iron Crane said intentionally.

Hu Chunchun chuckled, "How can there be the One Buddha Lotus Seat here? If it was here, Brother Mo would have definitely picked it since he was the first to arrive."

Mo Wuji understood what Golden Iron Crane was saying. That was when they were splitting the immortal veins, it would be done equally; they should not allow Fox Chunchun to continue to take advantage of them.

Mo Wuji took the initiative to say, "There are 61 immortal veins here. We will each take 15. Since Chunchun led the way, she will take 16."

"I agree." Ape Mo was the first to speak.

"I agree as well." Fox Chunchun hurriedly said. Even though she didn’t understand why Mo Wuji didn’t want the lotus flower, she knew that the item that Mo Wuji took was not simple. Unfortunately, she didn’t notice it.

Even so, she believed that the lotus flower that she obtained was the best treasure here.

Golden Iron Crane naturally couldn’t disagree. The 61 extreme grade immortal veins disappeared in an instant. This was when the four noticed that there was a 30 centimetre long golden brick behind the immortal veins. In the centre of this golden brick, there was a finger-thick hole.

[1] Sometimes, the selfish acts that the author feels a person would do stumps me. I have to think about it many times to understand the logic. Here, I guess that the logic is that since the item was already in Ape Mo"s hands, there was no need for Ape Mo to do anything, or at the very least, there was no need for him to give Mo Wuji so much stuff. Moreover, this was under the circ.u.mstances that Mo Wuji didn"t mention anything.
