A month later, Mo Wuji and Ren Tianxing returned to the Heavenly Enquiring Academy. During this month, Mo Wuji didn’t cultivate, but he gained more than cultivating.
All sorts of questions that he didn’t understand in cultivation, Ren Tianxing was able to answer them for him in detail.
As soon as Mo Wuji and Ren Tianxing returned to the Heavenly Enquiring School Palace, they felt that something was wrong, the Heavenly Enquiring School Palace seemed to have a rather tense and solemn atmosphere. Every single cultivator, was in a hurry to walk by, and most of them had a grave expression on their faces.
“May I ask this senior brother, what happened in the Heavenly Enquiring School Palace?” Mo Wuji asked as he grabbed a cultivator who was walking briskly with his head down.
This cultivator seemed to be thinking about something, and was instantly furious when he was abruptly pulled by Mo Wuji. When he looked up and saw Ren Tianxing beside Mo Wuji, he hurriedly bowed and said, “Inner disciple of Weapon Peak, Zeng Youkai, has met Senior Brother Ren.”
At the same time, his expression also became respectful and uptight, showing Ren Tianxing’s status in the Heavenly Enquiring Academy.
Ren Tianxing gave a hmmm and asked, “Did something happen in the Heaven Asking School Palace? How come the atmosphere is a bit depressing?” This cultivator hurriedly said, “A year ago, an extraterrestrial spaceship landed in the capital city of the Ming Han Empire, Da Ke ……”
“Extraterrestrial spaceship?” Ren Tianxing and Mo Wuji asked at the same time, this was the first time they had both heard of this name.
Zeng Youkai hurriedly explained, “Yes, extra-territorial airships, are airships that come from the outer planets, airships that aren’t from our continent or even the Great World. How to put it, it’s ……”
Zeng Youkai seemed to want to find a very easy to understand explanation, but unfortunately, the vocabulary in his mind was limited, and after thinking for half a day, he couldn’t come up with a good word.
“I see, go on.” Ren Tianxing’s expression also became serious. He and Mo Wuji had chatted freely for a month, during which Mo Wuji had surmised that the Lost Continent was just a planet in the vastness of the starry sky, nothing more. In the vast starry sky, there could be countless planets that were just like the Lost Continent.
From Zeng Youkai’s description, he vaguely felt that Mo Wuji’s words had turned out to be true, and that the extra-terrestrial ship was most likely another planetary cultivator ship. It was a pity that the two of them, him and Mo Wuji, had travelled back on his small flying magic treasure, and surprisingly, they hadn’t gained any news along the way.
Mo Wuji was also shocked in his heart, in fact, Mo Wuji wouldn’t really be particularly surprised about a planetary continent outside of the Lost Continent. He was from a planet other than the planet continent of the Lost Continent, but the place he was from was Earth, a purely technological place only.
He also didn’t expect that he had just popularised the matter of the starry sky and the existence of countless planets with Ren Tianxing, and this had happened right before his eyes. He naturally knew what place Zeng Youkai was talking about when he said the Great World, the Great World was actually the other half of the same planet as the Lost Continent. That half, however, was only accessible by crossing the Five Elements Desolate Domain.
Mo Wuji really didn’t care about this, what he cared about was that extra-terrestrial airship. The Extraterrestrial Spaceship could travel across the stars to the Lost Continent planet, so could it travel across the stars from here back to Earth?
Immediately after, Mo Wuji secretly shook his head, he was thinking too much. With this amount of cultivation, even if he was given an extra-territorial spaceship to give to him, he wouldn’t be able to control it to return to Earth.
“Yes!” Zeng Youkai answered and said again, “That Extraterrestrial Airship was extremely elated after discovering the Lost Continent. After they came out, they immediately occupied the Ming Han Empire’s capital city, Dake, and at the same time began to occupy the rest of the Ming Han Empire’s territory ……”
Ren Tianxing asked suspiciously, “After something like this happened, did the Ming Han Empire not turn to their Protectorate Sect for help?”
Zeng Youkai said in a hateful voice, “How could they not seek help? After those sects of the Ming Han Empire sent their people, not only did they fail to exterminate the barbarians that came down from that extraterrestrial ship, but instead, they were beaten back into those sects. As a result, several quasi heavenly sects including the Ming Han Empire’s protector sect Ao Yuan Sect, such as the Heavenly City Sect, the Xuan Sword Mist Sect, and the Hundred Weapons Sect, were all exterminated. As for those Earth-level and Xuan-level sects, even more were exterminated ……”
Mo Wuji sucked in a mouthful of cold air, he hadn’t been to the Ming Han Empire, but he had heard of the Ao Yuan Sect and the Xuan Sword Mist Sect like thunder. These were sects that weren’t even the slightest bit worse than the Heavenly Extreme Hall, and they were actually exterminated by foreign cultivators? He and Ren Tianxing had come back in a small airship, but he hadn’t even heard of such a big event.
Zeng Youkai continued, “Just because these bast*rds were incompetent, they begged our Heavenly Inquiring Palace, causing our Heavenly Inquiring Palace’s Dean Fei Ming to fall in the Ming Han Empire ……”
“What? You said that Dean Fei fell in the Ming Han Empire?” In his eagerness, Ren Tianxing grabbed Zeng Youkai’s shoulder.
Zeng Youkai screamed in pain, Ren Tianxing hurriedly lowered his hand, but his expression was even more eager, “Dean Fei is a True God Realm powerhouse, how could he have fallen?”
Zeng Youkai did not care about Ren Tianxing’s rudeness, but said grimly, “Those people are too powerful, and their flying magic treasures keep landing in the five empire regions. Not only did Dean Fei fall, but many of my senior brothers and sisters from the Inquiring Heavens School Palace also fell on the battlefield fighting the Extraterrestrials. I’m about to go to the battlefield, and just now, I lost my concentration because I was thinking about exchanging points for some kind of elixir to bring over.”
Ren Tianxing said angrily, “Could it be that the ones going to get killed are all from the Heavenly Enquiring Academy? Where are the rest of the sects from the five empires?”
“It’s not just the Heaven Asking Academy Palace, the rest of the sects have sent numerous powerful people over. My Inquiring Heaven Academy Palace is even led by Dean Feng, who continuously sends disciples into the battlefield.” Zeng Youkai replied.
Ren Tianxing no longer cared to question Zeng Youkai as he walked briskly towards the sect’s main hall. Mo Wuji hurriedly followed, no one would be spared when such a big event happened.
The sect hall was filled with numerous disciples of the Heavenly Enquiring Palace, and Mo Wuji did not recognise any of them. Instead, as soon as Ren Tianxing entered, some many people immediately came over to greet him.
“Everyone be quiet, this trip to the Thunder Mist Forest Battlefield is led by Sword Lake Zhu Yue Shan Elder ……” An old man walked to the front of the sect hall and loudly silenced the noisy voices in the hall.
Thunder Mist Forest Mo Wuji was familiar with it, he had been to the Thunder Mist Forest along the Cheng Yu Lordship Kingdom. Mo Wuji knew that the Thunder Mist Forest was vast, spanning across several empires, and was by no means the little bit of place he had visited.
At this moment, Mo Wuji’s concern was not about the Thunder Mist Forest or the battlefield where he was fighting with the extra-territorial cultivators, he was more concerned about Smokey. After seeing Ren Tianxing talking to the many cultivators, Mo Wuji wanted to exit the grand hall to go to the Dan Tower to take a look.
Since such a big thing had happened in the five empires, that Dao Sect’s Jin Yu must not have the energy to continue dealing with him, a small outer disciple.
Just as Mo Wuji wanted to exit the sect hall, he saw Smokey and a middle-aged woman walk in, and behind the two, there was a young girl. This young girl Mo Wuji had seen many times before, she was one of the twins beside Granny Linglong.
“Greetings to Master Jin Wen Dan.” What Mo Wuji did not expect was that after the middle-aged woman came in, the many disciples saluted one after another, even the old man named Everyone Be Quiet also clasped his fists and saluted.
Mo Wuji was completely unconcerned about all of this as his gaze fell on Smokey. It had only been a year since he and Smokey had seen each other, and Smokey was even more elegant, like a small lotus only showing its horns. Coupled with the disappearance of the scars on her face, she looked more and more beautiful at this moment.
However, Mo Wuji’s heart was tightened, it was clearly a familiar face, but he felt a strangeness. Just now, Smokey’s gaze had clearly seen him, and it was merely a sweeping glance.
Smokey’s body was surrounded by spiritual energy, that spirituality was something that even an amateur like Mo Wuji who did not have a spiritual root could feel.
Smokey had built her spirit, and her level was not low. Mo Wuji’s heart suddenly had a kind of affliction, he hoped that Smokey had built her spirit, but he didn’t want Smokey to really forget about him.
“Smokey you have built your spirit?” Mo Wuji almost took a step to Smokey’s side and asked in surprise. If Smokey had really built her spirit, then Smokey’s cultivation speed would be simply amazing, even faster than him. One must know that he had opened up a hundred chakras.
“Who are you?” Before Smokey could speak, the middle-aged woman beside her spoke.
Mo Wuji hurriedly said, “Disciple is Smokey’s friend, Outer Sect Peak Mo Wuji, may I ask who the senior is?”
The middle-aged woman frowned slightly and said in a somewhat cold tone, “Then step aside, don’t block the road.”
Mo Wuji similarly frowned, who was this woman, why was she so rude?
“Smokey, do you still remember me?” Although he was not happy with this middle-aged woman, Mo Wuji still continued to ask Smokey.
Originally, with Granny Linglong’s words, he should have spoken to Smokey more before Smokey built her spirit. It was just that the first time he met Smokey, Smokey was in the crunch of her seclusion.
He could only leave temporarily, preparing to wait for Smokey to come back to Smokey after she came out of seclusion. He didn’t realise that the matter of Jin Jiuzhen came up later, making him not dare to return to the sect for a short period of time.
Smokey’s cultivation speed was just a little too fast, he had only been back to the sect for less than a year, and Smokey had actually succeeded in building her spirit.
Smokey’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed as she looked at Mo Wuji suspiciously, she didn’t understand why Mo Wuji was calling her so affectionately. And saying that she was her friend, when did she have such a friend?
“Scram!” Seeing Mo Wuji’s lack of interest, the middle-aged woman shouted angrily and with a wave of her hand, she directly slapped at Mo Wuji.
Even though Mo Wuji reacted quickly and dodged away in the shortest possible time, he was still carried by the residual force of the slap and almost fell to the ground.
“Master Jin Wen Dan, isn’t it beneath your status to treat a junior like this?” Ren Tianxing walked over in time and said coldly.
This middle-aged woman obviously knew Ren Tianxing, and seeing this, she just snorted coldly, pulling Smokey to turn around and leave.
“Who is this woman?” Mo Wuji asked with great displeasure in his heart.
Ren Tianxing smiled bitterly and whispered, “She is Granny Linglong’s eldest disciple, Shi Jinwen, a Sixth Grade Earthly Pill Master. A powerhouse at the ninth level of the True Lake.”
It was actually Smokey’s senior sister? Mo Wuji stared at this middle-aged woman with wide eyes, thinking, “Has this woman lived to a dog’s age? Granny Linglong looked so young and beautiful, how did her eldest disciple become a middle aged woman?
He quickly reacted that now was not the time to dwell on whether the other party was an old woman or not. Thinking of this, Mo Wuji took another step forward and pulled the twin girl, “This senior sister, have you guys not talked to Smokey about me?”
