Mo Wuji stopped, in front of him was an opened tombstone entrance. The tombstone was thrown to the side, and there were more than a dozen corpses outside the tombstone, with not a single person visible outside. A rich immortal spiritual qi gushed out from the entrance, even if Mo Wuji had come the latest, he knew that the inside of this tomb was not simple.
After only a moment of hesitation, Mo Wuji went in through this entrance.
An inclined passageway several zhang wide appeared in front of Mo Wuji, if he didn’t know that this was a tombstone, Mo Wuji would have thought that he was walking on a wide road slope.
Mo Wuji accelerated his speed, and half a column of incense later he stopped at a small square. There were at least a dozen statues erected around the square, and in front of each statue was a stele with large paragraphs of text. Around the square, there were at least a dozen of forked paths, and as his divine thoughts swept through, each forked path led to endless depths, it looked as if it was an underground labyrinth.
Mo Wuji’s divine thoughts swept to the largest statue, and the name engraved on the tablet below the statue was the Lifeless Emperor, along with some of the deeds of the Lifeless Emperor as the founding ancestor of the Lifeless Dao Sect. From this record, Mo Wuji knew that the Lifeless Dao Sect was opened next to the Lifeless River, meaning that the Lifeless River was even older than the Lifeless Dao Sect.
Mo Wuji had no more interest in the various deeds inscribed behind him, as for the rest of the statues he just casually swept through them, reading the written memories in them, before quickly leaving this square and choosing a passageway to enter.
The passageway got narrower and narrower, some traces of fighting could be seen everywhere, and there was even a corpse that had its brain blown apart on the way.
“Boom!”A dull impact resounded at Mo Wuji’s side, Mo Wuji subconsciously took a few steps back, only to realise that the side was just some passageway stone walls.
Mo Wuji’s divine thoughts swept into these passageway stone walls, only to realise that the divine thoughts could not penetrate in at all.
“Boom boom!”There were two more dull ringing sounds, followed by a crack actually appearing in the passageway not too far away from him.
Mo Wuji instantly saw clearly that it wasn’t a crack, but a crack in the stone door, which was blasted open because of the two people fighting in it.
It looked like he had come too late, there were many stone doors in the middle of these passages, coming too late for the stone doors to be closed, he actually didn’t realise it until now. Mo Wuji transported himself through that doorway almost as fast as he could.
“Pfft!”Mo Wuji had just entered this stone room when a trail of blood shot over head on. Mo Wuji’s figure flickered slightly, avoiding that trail of blood. At the same time he landed on the ground, the stone door closed once again and a body fell down.
It looked like the two of them had split the winners and losers, Mo Wuji didn’t care about the corpse that fell to the ground, his attention fell on the victorious cultivator.
He then froze, this guy actually resembled him by nine points, if he didn’t have lightning marks crisscrossing everywhere on his face and neck, this guy would even be more similar to him. If not for the fact that this was the Immortal Realm, he would have even thought that this guy was his long lost brother.
Mo Wuji subconsciously touched his face, his looks had actually not differed much from his earthly appearance.
“Puff!”This overcoming cultivator seemed to be traumatised as well, falling to the ground as he stared at Mo Wuji with the same shocked look on his face as Mo Wuji. It seemed hard to believe that Mo Wuji looked so similar to him.
“Who are you?”This cultivator who fell to the ground asked in a hoarse voice.
Mo Wuji said indifferently, “It’s not important who I am, what’s important is that if you don’t heal your injuries, you won’t be able to live to tell the tale.”
Mo Wuji knew that this guy was heavily injured, even if he was so heavily injured, it would be hard enough for him to recover. After he just said that, he started to survey the stone room.
There was only a shrine and a stone table in the stone room, that was all.
“You don’t need to look, there’s nothing here ……” Seeing Mo Wuji looking around, this cultivator who had fallen on the ground reluctantly said.
Without the need for this cultivator to say it, Mo Wuji knew that there was nothing in here, the shrine and the stone table showed no signs of movement. Although he didn’t understand what this guy and the other guy were fighting about here since there was nothing, it wasn’t something he wanted to be bothered with.
“In that case, I’ll take my leave.”Mo Wuji turned around and was about to leave after saying that.
It wasn’t that he didn’t save this guy who was very similar to him, but he really couldn’t. This guy looked like he had a broken spirit complex and a traumatised sea of consciousness. Even if he were to save it, he would have to exert all his effort and then exhaust his vitality complex and spirit storage complex.
He was not acquainted with this guy, and to exhaust his abilities to save someone in such a dangerous place, he, Mo Wuji, was not that noble. Any other person would definitely take advantage of the fire, and for him not to take advantage of the fire, he was already considered an extremely rare person.
“Wait!”This soon-to-be-fallen cultivator called out to Mo Wuji when he saw that he was about to leave.
Mo Wuji stopped and said, “You’re heavily injured, the pills I have on me basically won’t work on you, so there’s no way for me to save you even if I wait.”
The cultivator shook his head, “I’m not asking you to save me, I myself know that I’m about to fall, even if an Immortal Emperor came, he wouldn’t be able to save me. Not only have my sea of consciousness and spirit complex collapsed, but my Yuan Shen is also starting to collapse. I just want to ask you for a favour ……”
Seeing Mo Wuji frown, this cultivator hurriedly explained, “I have a copy of something here, see if it’s useful to you, if it’s useful, you can take it ……”
After saying that, this cultivator struggled to grab out a jade box.
Mo Wuji opened his hand and the jade box landed in his hands. He opened the jade box and found that it was merely an ancient map, which was a little blurry and could only make out a few general locations.
This kind of thing was of no use at all for him to ask for, and Mo Wuji was about to throw the map to this cultivator when he suddenly saw that there was actually a bead drawn on the bottom corner of the map, and it also had the words Wood Yuan Bead written on it.
“This is a map of the location where the wood yuan bead once appeared …… If you are useful, do one thing for me, if you are not useful, then, just ……” This cultivator seemed to want to say just forget it, butThat thing seemed to be very important to him, and those few words actually couldn’t be said.
Mo Wuji placed the map into the jade box again and said, “Aren’t you afraid that I will take this map and leave immediately?”
Blood spilled out from the corner of this cultivator’s mouth as he reluctantly smiled, “You shouldn’t be this kind of person, if you were this kind of person, you would have just killed me and taken my ring.”
“This diagram is very useful to me, tell me, what do I need to help you with.”Mo Wuji said as he put away the jade box while taking out an image crystal ball.
If it wasn’t for the fact that this guy’s injuries were horribly heavy and his Yuan Shen was in disarray, Mo Wuji would have really wanted to save him.
“My name is Yan Ye, my grandfather Yan Qi is the head of the Yan Family, my grandfather has seven sons under his knee, my father Yan Ye Chang is the eldest son, my mother Lian Li female ……”
Mo Wuji interrupted Yan Ye, “Fellow Daoist Yan, I suggest you directly say what you need me to help you with, so as not to waste time like this. You don’t need to tell me about your family’s situation, I will do you this favour. The prerequisite is that I can help, if I can’t, I can’t do anything even if you say more.”
To Mo Wuji, as long as it was something that he had promised and he had the ability to do it, he would definitely find a way to help. If he couldn’t do it, he would be indifferent even if this Yan Ye said a lot.
“I know.”Yan Ye’s voice was even more feeble, “I want to ask you to use my identity and go to the Yan family for just three months. After three months, you can go wherever you want ……”
Mo Wuji froze, pretending to be Yan Ye? Then he thought of his own identity, he should not have an identity, this could be done.
Seeing that Mo Wuji didn’t say anything, Yan Ye continued, “After I go out from this Lifeless Mysterious Realm, I will marry the Ji Family’s Heavenly Proud Daughter, Ji Yue, and that’s what I’m asking you to do for me ……”
As soon as Mo Wuji heard Yan Ye’s words, he immediately knew that this was something he couldn’t do, “I’m sorry, there’s really no way for me to help you with this matter, pretending to be you is fine. But I won’t be marrying that what’s-her-name Thistle Yue of the Thistle Family instead of you, so tell me what other requests you have. By the way, is this the Lifeless Secret Realm? How did this secret realm come to be, and how long did it take to get in? When can we go out?”
Yan Ye didn’t seem to be surprised to hear Mo Wuji’s words in front of him, when he heard Mo Wuji’s words behind him, he froze a little, Mo Wuji didn’t even know about this secret realm, how did he come in?
“Oh, I came in from somewhere else and accidentally came here.”Mo Wuji didn’t hide Yan Ye, the other party was going to die anyway, so he couldn’t expose his secret.
“That’s even better, you can go out with the help of my identity, otherwise you don’t have an identity jade token, you’ll die for sure …… ” Yan Ye finished shivering and pointed to his ring, “My identity jade token is inside. ”
“Then thank you very much, but I still can’t agree to your conditions.”Mo Wuji clasped his fist and said sincerely.
Yan Ye hurriedly said, “It’s not really about marrying Ji Yue, it’s just about helping her out and letting her leave the Ji family through this way, as long as she marries into the Yan family, she can leave at any time.”
Seeing the tenderness and love in Yan Ye’s eyes, Mo Wuji understood, feeling that this guy was an unrequited love, liking Ji Yue but willing to be used by her, with the help of the means of welcoming her, letting her leave the Ji Family and then letting her go.
“The Ji family owes my father a clan lifting favour, I used this condition to go to the Ji family to ask for a marriage, and the Ji family had to agree to it ……,” Yan Ye paused to keep catching his breath.
Mo Wuji knew what a clan lifting favour was, it was a favour to save the other party’s entire family, this kind of favour was not to mention asking for a woman, even if they wanted more, the Ji family could only return it.
He grabbed out a few pills and sent them into Yan Ye’s mouth, and waited for Yan Ye to take a few breaths of reprieve before saying, “You used your father’s clan lifting favour to help a woman?”
Yan Ye sighed, “My parents are no longer around, my situation is complicated and it’s hard to explain.”
Mo Wuji, however, felt a huge quagmire, his mind instantly cleared up as he stared at Yan Ye and said, “Yan Ye, tell me the truth, that cultivator you killed just now wasn’t capable of inflicting such a heavy wound on you, even to the point where your sea of consciousness was cracked open, and your Yuan Shen collapsed, right? If you deceive me again, I will leave immediately.”
