Mo Wuji climbed up to the water pool dripping wet and realised that a large portion of the lotus flower on the water pool was already missing, and that which was missing had been stuffed into his storage bag as if it was a mess of straw.
Hurry up and go, this is not a place to stay for long.
Mo Wuji was even more frantically running wildly, it seemed like from the moment he entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he was constantly running wildly. This time he was running for three days and three nights before he stopped. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to run anymore, but he just couldn’t run anymore. In these few days, he had swallowed an unknown number of pills to restore his vitality.
After vigorously gasping for a few breaths and swallowing a grain-expelling elixir, only then did Mo Wuji begin to survey his surroundings.
In front of him was a low and uneven hill, it was unknown where this hill would extend to, it seemed endless. To his left was a Gobi beach with some broken stone sculptures and some eastward-facing columns. To his right was a swamp, with no other living creatures except for the occasional bubbles that he saw popping up in the middle of the swamp.
Mo Wuji noticed that there were still some shadows of abandoned buildings on the left side of the Gobi Beach, those buildings did not know how many thousands of years they had gone through, and only the outlines of the sandstone could be seen somehow.
Mo Wuji walked into the Gobi Beach, found a place with a wider line of sight, and simply dug a large hole for survival. It was only after he went in that he realised how wretched he was. After running for three days and three nights without stopping, and fighting the mud in the waterhole for quite some time, he was now covered in dust and mud residue everywhere.
Despite cultivating to the 8th level of Pulse Expansion, Mo Wuji didn’t know any spells at all. He could only use the fresh water he drank to simply wipe his body and change into a set of clothes.
Regarding these, Mo Wuji didn’t care, as he took out the six lotus roots in his storage bag at the first opportunity.
These lotus roots were the ones that he had forcefully pulled up and thrown into the storage bag, and the lotus flower was still on it without being discarded.
The fresh fragrance of the lotus flowers made Mo Wuji feel once again that the hard work of the past few days had not been in vain, he carefully plucked the six lotus flowers and packed them in six jade boxes before packing those lotus stems and leaves. Even if Mo Wuji didn’t recognise what kind of lotus root this was, he could still guess that it wasn’t simple. Otherwise, it wouldn’t make one feel refreshed just by smelling the odour.
What made Mo Wuji care the most was the lotus root, he didn’t know the grade of this lotus root, but something that could be guarded by a Transitional Demon Beast, it would be strange if it could be simple.
The first section of lotus root was washed by Mo Wuji, revealing the purple coloured body of the lotus root. Mo Wuji gently peeled open the lotus root section, and the refreshing fragrance once again hit his nose. Mo Wuji was delighted to see five or six lotus root threads, which were clear and unmistakable, and unlike the Precious Blood Lotus Root, these threads were green in colour, crystal clear as if they were the best green jade. It was also as if they were alive, radiating a rich vitality.
Ordinary lotus root threads were connected together, thin and easy to break, and it was not easy to pull one out. The lotus root threads of the precious blood lotus root had already been formed individually, and their forms and colours were extremely obvious. And this lotus root silk not only had a clear form, even the smell was just as fragrant.
This really wasn’t something simple, Mo Wuji put a few lotus root threads into the jade box and placed that lotus root in his mouth and took a bite.
A seemingly cold and fiery vitality Yuan Qi surged in from his throat, and that vitality seemed to make his entire body function at its peak at this moment.
Mo Wuji was blessed and hurriedly took out several Earth Grade Spirit Stones and held them in his hands to start his Zhou Tian Xing Gong. In just half a pillar of incense, Mo Wuji could clearly feel his cultivation growing.
He had only just broken through the eighth layer of Pulse Expansion not long ago, and now he was on the verge of breaking through to the ninth layer of Pulse Expansion again.
A few Earth Grade Spirit Stones quickly turned into dust, and Mo Wuji took out a few more Spirit Stones. Time just passed quickly in cultivation, Mo Wuji himself didn’t even know how much spirit qi he had absorbed. At this moment, the Yuan Power within his body was bulging, almost about to break through his dantian. His cultivation level, however, no longer continued to rise, as if a bottle of water was filled to the brim and could no longer be filled.
Mo Wuji exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath and stopped cultivating.
This situation was all too familiar to him, he had reached another bottleneck, if he wanted to continue advancing, he had to look for a place with lightning arcs to open up his veins.
Mo Wuji sighed, if he wanted to utilise the abundant cultivation resources in here to advance to the Spirit Building Realm, he had to look for places with lightning sources to continue opening up his veins.
“Dong Lun, I’ve already ceded the place to you, do you have to rush all of them?” A sad and angry voice came out, causing Mo Wuji, who was about to come out, to stop and directly crush a stone with force in his hand.
If there was another name that could be just like Xia Ruoyin, a name that Mo Wuji’s would never forget till his death, it would be Dong Lun.
After hearing this name, Mo Wuji’s hands couldn’t help but tremble, not only were his hands trembling, but his body was also trembling. It was a kind of extreme anger, at this moment, he couldn’t wait to immediately rush out and swallow this fellow called Dong Lun in one gulp.
It was only after a while that Mo Wuji forced himself to calm down, he wasn’t sure if this Dong Lun was the young city lord of Extreme Sword City that Ding Bu Er had said.
“Only dead people are the most reliable.” An emotionless voice came out.
Mo Wuji carefully looked out from the gap in his hiding place as two men stood opposite each other. One of them was wearing a grey dao robe, exuding a powerful confidence and mellow aura around him. The other man’s robe was cut to pieces and blood stained. There also seemed to be a bloody hole in his chest.
It was just that they were slightly far apart, and Mo Wuji didn’t dare to break his hiding place, so he couldn’t clearly see how the appearance actually looked.
“Extreme Sword City is at least a famous sect, and your father, Falling Flower City Lord, is even a reputable mighty senior. …… “Although the heavily injured man was warding off the grey-clothed man, his mouth did not stop persuading him.
The grey-clothed man did not even wait for the man to finish his words, his hands interlocked and blasted out dozens of rays of light, which directly wrapped around the man who had spoken.
Under these dozens of dazzling rays of light, Mo Wuji couldn’t even see what the injured man’s situation was for a moment.
It looked like there was no mistake, this man was indeed Extreme Sword City’s Young City Lord Dong Lun.
Mo Wuji quietly removed the Tian Ji Stick from his storage bag while taking another breath. From Dong Lun’s move, he could tell that he and Dong Lun were not a bit apart. However, now that his enemy was right in front of him, for him to give up his blood revenge for killing Smokey, he would definitely not be willing to do so.
“Boom Boom Boom ……” In the distance, the two of them were completely killing each other, Mo Wuji could only see a white haze, and could not clearly see the exact fighting process of the two of them at all.
Mo Wuji powerlessly clenched his fists, if his cultivation was slightly higher, he would have definitely rushed out and dealt with that Dong Lun together with that other person. But now, if he went out with this amount of cultivation, he would definitely be sending himself to death, and even if he teamed up to kill Dong Lun, he wouldn’t be able to survive.
That other guy would definitely silence him, and wouldn’t let him know whose hands Dong Lun died in.
No, Mo Wuji soon realised that there was something different about the scene of the fight. The two people fighting moved to his side while fighting.
Mo Wuji realised in an instant that even though he was hiding at the corner, he was perceived by these two. It should be caused by him being too excited after hearing the name Dong Lun.
Sure enough, just as Mo Wuji thought of this, the man who was being chased by Dong Lun gasped and called out, ”Friend, if I were to be killed by Dong Lun, do you think that you can survive alone? Dong Lun is already at the Transcendent Mortal Layer, after he kills me, he will definitely come to kill you. Why don’t you come out and join forces with me to deal with this man.”
What a vicious fellow, Mo Wuji hated in his heart but did not respond, instead, he once again carefully pinched that Fifth Grade Explosive Ice Talisman in his palm. The 5th Grade Explosive Ice Talisman could block even the True Lake Realm, so it shouldn’t be a problem to deal with Dong Lun who was only at the first level of the Devoid of Mortality.
What Mo Wuji was most worried about was how to make Dong Lun unable to dodge this Exploding Ice Talisman of his.
“Idiot, I’m not even a match for this Dong surnamed at the third level of Transfan, why don’t you come out and make your move …… ah ……” The man who was being chased by Dong Lun was still angry at Mo Wuji for hiding and not coming out, when a ray of light had already passed through his heart area.
Mo Wuji stood out, speaking in a terrified tone, “Two seniors, I’m only at the Pulse Expansion Realm, it’s none of my business ah, I don’t know anything ……”
The reason why he stood out was because Mo Wuji wanted to let these two people know that his low cultivation level was nothing to worry about. If Dong Lun were to keep Dong Lun on his guard, he would even not stand a chance.
“Dong Lun, I just won’t let you get by even if I die. ……” This man, under the weight of his injuries, and suddenly realising that Mo Wuji wasn’t a guy that could help at all, knew that he was bound to die. Even if he died, he wouldn’t let Dong Lun have a good time, suddenly opening his mouth after these words, he sprayed out a bloody arrow.
This blood arrow directly stabbed towards Dong Lun’s throat, and even as Mo Wuji stood at a distance, he could smell that this blood arrow carried an extremely fishy odour.
Dong Lun’s face changed, obviously he also knew the power of this blood arrow. He didn’t even dare to touch this bloody arrow, and his entire body fell sideways. Almost at the same time, another red light was struck out by this severely injured man, shooting in the exact direction that Dong Lun had dodged the bloody arrow.
“Pff……” The red light flashed, and Dong Lun staggered backward tens of steps away, rushing right towards Mo Wuji’s side.
Originally, Mo Wuji had planned to utilise the opportunity of contributing the lotus flower to inspire the Exploding Ice Talisman. This decision Mo Wuji had never dared to use, a vicious fellow such as Dong Lun might not even wait for him to speak and would directly finish him off.
Mo Wuji was certain that he would be halfway defenseless against a strong person of the first layer of the Transfiguration Realm. Now that Dong Lun was staggering and rushing towards his side, it was obvious that he was being revolted by the other party before he died. Where would Mo Wuji have any hesitation at this time, his divine thoughts and Yuan Power were simultaneously added to the Explosive Ice Talisman.
The Exploding Ice Talisman transformed into a dazzling white aura in the shortest possible time, curling towards Dong Lun who staggered over. Mo Wuji was overjoyed in his heart, his move to stand out and show his low strength was successful. For Dong Lun to dare to retreat to his side, he was not putting him, Mo Wuji, in his eyes.
I’m afraid that you won’t come, after offering the Exploding Ice Talisman, Mo Wuji frantically swung the Tian Ji Stick to follow the white aura of that Exploding Ice Talisman and smashed it down.
