Earthly Deity Chapter 173

Taking advantage of the few moments that these bugs stuttered, Mo Wuji added almost all of his Yuan Power to his feet, and his entire body swooped towards the outside of this weed as if it was a line.

Those bugs were merely stunned by Mo Wuji’s lightning strike for a moment, and then they once again madly rushed towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji threw out a few more Thunderbolts from thin air, and in the face of death, his potential was completely fuelled, and this time, he crossed a distance of several zhang.

“Boom!” With a sound, Mo Wuji, who had exhausted his latter strength, finally fell onto a piece of gravelled ground.

Not even caring about how much pain he felt from his fall, Mo Wuji climbed up and continued to run forwards. As a matter of fact, this piece of gravelled ground had already come out of the weeds and barren area.

Mo Wuji only ran out a dozen metres before he stopped. His divine thoughts swept behind him and saw that there were no bugs chasing after him, those bugs seemed to only exist in the weeds and did not cross the thunder by half a step.

This wasn’t right, Mo Wuji turned back to take a closer look at the broken walls in the weeds, and his divine thoughts also swept for half a day, before finally determining that it was definitely not a coincidence that these bugs didn’t come out. Since it wasn’t a coincidence, then there was someone restricting these bugs from coming out.

The only thing that could restrict these bugs from coming out was an array. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji’s level of formation dao was too low to see what kind of formation this was.

Mo Wuji’s low level of formation dao was not a slow reaction. For someone in this place to use a trapped formation to keep so many disgusting bugs captive, they either had excellent treasures or they had some kind of scheme.

Thinking of this, Mo Wuji shook his head, what could he do if he knew? With his strength and level, he simply couldn’t go looking for the answer. Even if it was something good, it wouldn’t be his turn to get it.

Thinking of his strength, Mo Wuji no longer wanted to delay and turned around to quickly leave.

……

Qi Laoshi’s grocery shop, after doing a business with Mo Wuji, Qi Laoshi once again reverted back to his original honest and scruffy appearance, sitting at the corner of the shop and constantly tapping on something.

Without any sign, he suddenly dropped everything in his hands and stood up abruptly.

Almost at the same time Qi Laoshi stood up abruptly, a ghost-like woman also appeared abruptly, “What’s the problem?”

Qi Laoshi excitedly pointed in the direction of the Lost Heavenly Ruins, “That kid …… the thing he was looking for was actually Immortal Sunflower Essence Gold, and it was also found ……”

“Are you sure?” The woman’s voice was even more trembling and excited, and grabbed Qi Laoshi, “Above the thin book we gave him, there was no Immortal Sunflower Essence Gold either?”

Qi Laoshi’s hand was still trembling, “I’m sure, I’m one hundred per cent sure. The divine thought imprint I left behind clearly felt the aura of Immortal Sunflower Essence Gold. Immortal Sunflower Essence Gold is only that small in the entire True Stranger Continent, and I saw it with my own eyes back then. That kind of powerful aura, I can never forget it, I didn’t think that there would be this kind of thing in the Lost Heavenly Ruins ……”

“There really is, there really is ……” The woman muttered and repeated a few times before saying in a trembling voice, “Qi Sang, let’s hurry up and go to the Lost Heavenly Ruins, as long as we find the Immortal Sunflower Essence Gold, then we will no longer be afraid of them chasing after us ……”

In fact at the time the woman said she was going to the Lost Heavenly Ruins, Qi Laoshi was already packing up his things. He didn’t take out the map and the location of the Lost Heavenly Ruins’ treasures in order to find the Immortal Sunflower Essence Gold. Even if they wanted the Immortal Sunflower Essence Gold the most, they knew that trying to find Immortal Sunflower Essence Gold in the Lost Heavenly Ruins would be impossible.

But now the most impossible thing had appeared, the thing that they couldn’t believe would appear the most had appeared in the Lost Heavenly Ruins.

……

The three people who had previously obtained the map and the thin book from Mo Wuji’s hands were currently gathered in the deep underground of a rotten swamp.

In front of them was a large piece of shiny black ore that looked as if it was a complete sunflower. It was just that the area was many times larger than a sunflower, as this thing was at least one zhang away in a square circle.

“What are these things? It’s a bit cool to the touch and seems to be very hard.” The woman touched this ore that was like a sunflower with her hand and asked in doubt.

The other two also reached out and touched it, but the two shook their heads just the same not knowing what it was.

“This thing grows in the middle of a spirit vein, it looks hard as hell, so I guess it won’t be too bad. It might be possible that it’s a top-tier refining treasure.” The slightly thin man said.

“But we can’t take it with us right now, even if we don’t fill our storage bags with anything, we won’t be able to fit this thing.” The woman said.

The remaining two men fell silent, this ore, which was the same as a sunflower, was more than one square foot in circumference, and their storage bags really couldn’t fit it.

Finally the slightly taller male cultivator said, “How about this, let’s cut off a little bit first and then find a place to bury this thing. Let’s wait until we go out and enquire clearly. If it’s really something good, we’ll come back.”

The taller male cultivator was supposed to be the talker among these three, and after he gave his opinion, the other man and woman agreed without hesitation.

When the trio tried to cut a piece off this huge ore, they encountered trouble. It was because the ore simply couldn’t be cut down.

“Forget it, just bury it here. Let’s hurry and find the Underworld Soul Crystal, we’ve been delayed here for seven or eight days for a few Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones. That kid has the atlas, maybe he’ll make a move ahead of us.” The slightly taller male cultivator immediately clapped his hands.

The three of them immediately made their move, digging huge holes at the bottom of this spirit stone mine, wanting to bury this large ore. The three were oblivious to the fact that the thing they were about to bury was many times more precious than the thing they were going to find.

……

Of course Mo Wuji didn’t know about this, or if he did he couldn’t do anything about it. Being able to draw Qi Laoshi’s gaze away from him was a long time success for him.

This was already the fourth day that Mo Wuji had travelled through that area with the disgusting bugs, and at this moment, he stood outside of a misty canyon. Saying that it was a canyon, it was actually the same with all sorts of dilapidated buildings, it was evident that this canyon was also inhabited a long time ago.

Perhaps after countless years of vicissitudes, the numerous buildings had weathered into the scenery of the canyon. Mo Wuji could only vaguely recognise from the shapes of these buildings that these were once man-made.

He grabbed out the Tian Ji Stick and carefully walked into the misty canyon. The atlas given by Qi Laoshi said that there was a misty canyon here, and it turned out that he really saw this canyon. That atlas also described that the canyon was actually the result of numerous ancient buildings and mud and rocks weathering through endless years. As a matter of fact, this is not wrong.

It could be seen that the treasure marked directions given by Qi Laoshi were basically correct. Therefore, that Lost Heavenly Ruins Spiritual Objects Location Description that said that there was a Heavenly Locus Flower here, Mo Wuji was convinced of it. The only thing that worried Mo Wuji was whether someone would have come here.

After all, there were countless cultivators who travelled to the Lost Heavenly Ruins every year, so it wouldn’t be surprising if someone came here.

Mo Wuji carefully entered the canyon as this canyon was weathered from various ancient buildings, Mo Wuji could even see some chair-like stones. After half a pillar of incense, Mo Wuji stopped as he could no longer see anything.

His eyes were a little sore, and all that his eyes could see was a foggy haze.

That Qi Laoshi wasn’t wrong in one of his words, the Lost Heavenly Ruins was filled with virulent poisons, this mist was also poisonous, and this poison made his eyes unable to see anything anymore.

Knowing that in the mist was poisonous, Mo Wuji was not shocked but rather happy. He casually took out a few antidote pills and sent them into his mouth, closing his eyes tightly.

This mist was poisonous, which meant that normal cultivators wouldn’t come here. Even if it was a True Lake Realm cultivator, his divine mind was only at the stage of sacrificing magic treasures. To want to be like him and casually use their divine thoughts to view the surrounding scenery, only Void God Realm cultivators could do it.

Of course the Void God Realm cultivator’s divine thoughts were used flexibly, and were too powerful than his divine thoughts as well, something that he simply couldn’t compare to. Mo Wuji didn’t care, he didn’t require his divine thoughts to be able to match the Void God Realm cultivators. He only needed his divine thoughts to be able to see the surrounding scenery clearly in a place like this.

Perhaps it was because this canyon was weathered from some ancient fortress, there was barely a straight passage in the canyon, almost all of it had seven turns.

Several hours had passed, and Mo Wuji did not see any traces of the Heavenly Loop Flower. The top of the thin book he purchased only described that there was a Tianluo Flower here, as for which corner the Tianluo Flower was in, there was no introduction at all.

Mo Wuji was still patiently looking around, he had only come to the Lost Heavenly Ruins for one purpose, and that was to search for the Heavenly Lore Flower. Even if he searched for a year in here, he would still look for it.

A silhouette that suddenly appeared startled Mo Wuji. Luckily, Mo Wuji soon realised that this person, like the surrounding scenery of the canyon, was formed after being weathered by the years.

Mo Wuji walked into this silhouette and carefully observed it, realising that this person was half a head taller than him, and had a ring on his hand. Mo Wuji doubted that this ring was a storage ring.

However, the storage ring was of no use to him now as both the person and the ring had weathered into rock.

No, a certain Wuji suddenly remembered something as he hurriedly turned back to find a few stone pillar-like weathered objects. He soon realised that these weren’t stone pillars, they were also weathered after a person’s death.

In other places, when people died, they would be turned into withered bones, and after a long period of time, they would simply disappear into this world. Here, people died, but weathered into stone pillars or intact human-shaped stones. The only possibility is because of the mist here.

Perhaps it was a psychological effect, Mo Wuji only felt tingling all over his body at this moment.

The poisonous mist was working? Mo Wuji’s heart was shocked, and his first reaction was to rush out. No matter how good the Tianluo Flower was, what was the point of having it if the person was gone?

Mo Wuji suddenly turned around, and as his figure was about to unfold, his divine thoughts saw a purple flower. This purple flower was like a rose blooming in the misty void, with no roots, no leaves, it just grew suspended in the void.

The Heavenly Loop Flower! Mo Wuji recognised it at the first moment, this was the Heavenly Loop Flower.
