“I want to make a trip back to the sect before I make any plans ……” Mo Wuji replied, he planned to stay away from the Questioning Heavenly Academy completely after he returned to the Questioning Heavenly Academy to secretly meet Smokey.
Ren Tianxing immediately said, “Senior Brother Mo, I found a good place, it is said to be a top tier earth fire location. That Shao Guangjing wanted to kill me before because of this place. Why don’t Senior Brother Mo and I team up to check it out and then return to the sect together?”
Mo Wuji shook his head, “My strength is low right now, and I’m only going back to the sect secretly this time, and I’m going to leave the Heavenly Enquiring School Palace right after I return, so for the time being, I’m not in the mood to look for the location of the earth fire.”
Even though Mo Wuji knew that this Earth Fire location that Ren Tianxing was talking about wasn’t that simple, otherwise Shao Guangjing wouldn’t have tried to kill Ren Tianxing for this place. But Mo Wuji was really not in the mood, he wanted to go back to see Smokey and then forage to raise his strength.
Ren Tianxing nodded, ”What Senior Brother Mo said is also true, the two of us might still be a bit short in terms of strength. I’ve been out for almost a year or so, since that’s the case, let’s go back together first ……”
Speaking of this Ren Tianxing seemed to remember something and asked suspiciously, “Senior Brother Mo, why did you go back to the sect secretly?”
Ren Tianxing shouldn’t seem like the kind of guy who wasn’t righteous, otherwise, he wouldn’t have told him about the place where the Earth Flame appeared. Mo Wuji simply said directly, “Because someone from the Heavenly Enquiring School Palace is trying to kill me, and I’m an outer disciple, so if I go back openly, I’m probably going to be killed very quickly.”
“How could that be? Even if Senior Brother Mo is an outer disciple, it’s impossible for the Heaven Asking Academy to just kill a disciple.” Ren Tianxing said in astonishment.
Mo Wuji had no choice but to explain, “Because Jin Jiuzhen’s backer suspects that I killed Jin Jiuzhen, I am wanted everywhere. Oh, just waiting for me to go back and throw myself into the net. I still have a relative in the Heavenly Enquiring Academy, otherwise, I really wouldn’t go back.”
“Jin Jiuzhen was killed? Elder Jin Yu suspects you, so he wants you wanted?” Ren Tianxing blurted out that Jin Jiuzhen’s backer in the Heavenly Enquiring School Palace was Elder Jin Yu. Therefore, as soon as Mo Wuji said it, Ren Tianxing understood.
“Is it Elder Jin Yu? I really don’t know.” Mo Wuji rubbed his nose.
Ren Tianxing said, “Elder Jin Yu is the fifth elder of my Dao Sect and is very strong. He is also Jin Jiuzhen’s elder, and Jin Jiuzhen was the one who brought him to the Questioning Heaven Academy Dao Sect. If Jin Jiuzhen was killed, he would indeed go crazy. But I’ve never cared much for this kind of disciple.”
The implication was that, don’t look at Jin Jiuzhen as a disciple of an extreme spiritual root, in his Ren Tianxing’s eyes, he counted for nothing.
“Right, then why did Elder Jin Yu suspect you?” Ren Tianxing quickly felt that something was wrong, Jin Yu was an expert of the Dao Sect, he would not suspect someone for no reason.
Mo Wuji said helplessly, “Because that Jin Jiu Zhen was really killed by me, during one of the lectures, I sat in the first row and somehow offended this guy. When I left the Questioning Heaven Academy Palace, he brought two Spirit Building Realm cultivators to try and ambush me on the way to do away with me ……”
Ren Tian Xing stared blankly at Mo Wuji, he said how could Elder Jin Yu suspect Mo Wuji for no reason, it turned out that Jin Jiuzhen was really killed by Mo Wuji. This Mo Wuji was really bold, an outer disciple, he dared to kill Jin Jiuzhen.
However, this Jin Jiuzhen was also an idiot, with Mo Wuji’s strength, bringing two Spirit Building Realm cultivators could do the trick? He didn’t know that Mo Wuji’s increased strength was only a matter of the last few months. When Jin Jiuzhen ambushed Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji was still only at the Pulse Expansion Realm.
“Senior Brother Mo, you don’t lack reason in this matter. The most important thing is, does that Jin Yu have any evidence to prove that you killed Jin Jiuzhen.” Although Ren Tianxing and Jin Jiuzhen belonged to the same Dao Sect, the truth was that he really didn’t care about a dude disciple like Jin Jiuzhen.
Mo Wuji said with certainty after a brief moment of contemplation, “There will definitely be no evidence, that Jin Yu is only judging that I killed Jin Jiuzhen based on the conflict between me and Jin Jiuzhen.”
The reason why he dared to say this was because Mo Wuji didn’t take anything at that time. Moreover, his divine thoughts had swept through the surroundings, it was impossible for anyone to notice.
Ren Tianxing laughed and clapped his hands, “Since that’s the case, Senior Brother Mo will just return to the Heavenly Enquiring School Palace with me in an open and honest manner. I guarantee that even if Elder Jin Yu is standing in front of you, he wouldn’t dare to touch half of your hair. What I’m worried about is that once you leave the Heavenly Enquiring School Palace, he will look for an opportunity to intercept you.”
“Many thanks, Senior Brother Ren. As for how to leave the Heavenly Enquiring School Palace, I have plenty of ways.” Mo Wuji also had a slight intention of asking for Ren Tianxing’s help when he spoke out his matter. If Ren Tianxing couldn’t help, then forget it. In his guess, Ren Tianxing was able to rank third in the Heavenly Enquiring Order, so he must have some status in the Heavenly Enquiring Academy. As it turned out, he hadn’t guessed wrong.
He possessed divine thoughts, so was he still afraid that he wouldn’t have the opportunity to leave the Heavenly Questioning School Palace?
“Alright, in that case, we’ll go back now.” Ren Tianxing was very dry.
Both of them were very fast, and along the way, Ren Tianxing still saw it. Even though Mo Wuji’s speed was good, he should still be at the Spirit Building Realm. For a Spirit Building Realm cultivator to actually be able to stop Shao Guangjing’s Dragon Bone Claw, it was quite something.
“Senior Brother Mo, your strength isn’t low, why are you in the outer sect?” Two days later, the two were familiar with each other, and Ren Tianxing no longer had any qualms about asking.
Mo Wuji had no choice but to reply, “My spiritual root qualification is very poor, but fortunately, I have a good understanding, and I have gained some chances, which has led me to where I am today.”
“No wonder!” Ren Tianxing nodded, in the Heavenly Enquiring Academy, without absolute qualifications, it would be very difficult to become an inner disciple. It would be even harder to become a true disciple like him. Mo Wuji’s lack of spiritual energy around him showed that Mo Wuji was right, his qualifications were indeed bad. For a disciple with a bad qualification to become an outer disciple of the Heavenly Enquiring Palace, it was already very impressive.
“By the way, how did you stop Shao Guangjing’s Dragon Bone Claw? That’s a spirit weapon.” Ren Tianxing had more than one doubt in his heart.
Mo Wuji didn’t want to reveal that he had divine thoughts, and said after a slight pause, “Senior Brother Ren should know that, but all spirit weapons must leave a cultivator brand. Where this brand is left, no one knows. I don’t know either, my hands are okay, when Shao Guangjing offered the Dragon Bone Claw to me, I kept blasting that Dragon Bone Claw. I was determined not to let that Dragon Bone Claw leave my surroundings.
That Shao Guangjing was also a little too arrogant, plus my luck was better. After blasting with that Dragon Bone Claw dozens of times, I actually cracked the brand he left on the Dragon Bone Claw with a single stick ……”
Mo Wuji wasn’t talking nonsense with this statement, if one were to constantly bombard a spiritual weapon that had left a brand, there was indeed a chance to bombard away a cultivator’s brand. After all, Shao Guangjing was not a Void God Realm cultivator, merely a Yuandan Realm cultivator. Of course, this chance was so small that it was almost negligible.
Ren Tianxing said indistinctly, “I see.”
He finally understood why Mo Wuji could leave behind Shao Guangjing’s dragon bone claw and destroy the branded thoughts in it, it seemed that there was still a part of luck in it.
Ren Tianxing was the type of cultivator who was calm on the surface, and even had no stance towards anyone. Inside, he was extremely proud, and without a certain amount of strength, wanting to become friends with him was simply impossible. He could talk to you politely, but would not treat you as a friend, or even as an equal opponent.
As for an outer disciple like Mo Wuji, he was even more disdainful of befriending him.
Mo Wuji was different from others, Mo Wuji wouldn’t even think of Ren Tianxing as someone remarkable. In Mo Wuji’s opinion, even if Feng Zhenqiu stood in front of him, he would still treat him as an equal.
Originally, Ren Tianxing only wanted to go out and help Mo Wuji for once because Mo Wuji had stepped in to help him, coupled with the fact that Mo Wuji seemed to be quite nice. After the two of them had been rushing together for a few days, Ren Tianxing realised that Mo Wuji was by no means the same as the other outer disciples.
What he had within himself was a kind of pride that was based on his outstanding natural talent. What he found within Mo Wuji was not pride, but a much more bland sense of entitlement. It was as if Mo Wuji had killed two Spirit Building Realms and intercepted Shao Guangjing’s Dragon Bone Claw, in Mo Wuji’s eyes, it was all a matter of course.
That being said if one day, if Mo Wuji surpassed him, Ren Tianxing, this might seem unbelievable to others and even him, Ren Tianxing. In Mo Wuji’s eyes, it would still be a matter of course and not half as strange.
This taking for granted by Mo Wuji struck Ren Tian Xing’s pride. In front of Mo Wuji, he always felt that he didn’t have any semblance of pride, or that he couldn’t be proud at all. Even if Mo Wuji was merely an outer disciple, there was a confidence in him that was even more confident than him.
Befriending him wouldn’t make Mo Wuji feel anything remarkable, it seemed that in the other party’s eyes, becoming friends with anyone was just as casual. If you can talk, you are friends, if you can’t talk, you go your own way.
Ren Tianxing had gone from being surprised to appreciating, and in the end, he also thought that for him to become friends with Mo Wuji, it really wasn’t a great thing for Mo Wuji.
The more the two of them talked, the more Ren Tianxing learnt about numerous mysteries of the universe from Mo Wuji. He was very much in agreement with Mo Wuji’s speculation that the continent was just a planet, outside of this planet, there was the vastness of the starry sky, and in the starry sky, there were countless other planets like the Lost Continent.
According to what Mo Wuji said, in the entire vast starry sky, there were countless planets like the Lost Continent. That meant that geniuses like him, Ren Tianxing, were just as countless. He, Ren Tianxing, really didn’t have anything to be proud of.
Mo Wuji also heard a lot about the wonders of cultivation from Ren Tianxing, as well as some ancient tales of the Five Elements Desolate Domain, and even the Lost Heavenly Ruins.
It turned out that the Lost Heavenly Ruins was an ancient battlefield, and at a very long time ago, cultivators from various clans fought at the Lost Heavenly Ruins, competing for resources and territory here. As for how this war ended and how this ancient battlefield ended up becoming the Lost Heavenly Ruins, even Ren Tianxing did not know.
Other than that, Mo Wuji also got many answers in cultivation from Ren Tianxing. He didn’t have a master, and his cultivation was all supported by a copy of the Immortal Mortal Technique and his own hard-wired 100 veins. Even if there were cultivation mistakes, his hundred veins were not so bad that his aura clogged up and went off the rails.
And Ren Tianxing’s simple sentence had benefited him greatly. Mo Wuji believed that as long as he could go back and close his eyes a little for a day or two, he would be able to impact to the fifth level of Spirit Building.
