“What’s going on, isn’t it lapis lazuli? How did it turn into fish bones?”The voice in his ear gave a slight lurch before it travelled over.
Mo Wuji was at this moment paying attention to the voice behind him at all times, and with a mere lurch of that voice, he knew that his words just now seemed to have been pounced upon by the other party to cause some sort of problem.
“Senior, even though I was stabbed, I wasn’t injured, one of my defensive treasures helped me stop it. Yes, I did see a green stone, the green stone is underneath the fish bone ……,” Mo Wuji followed.
This time, Mo Wuji did see a green stone underneath the fish bone, and that green stone still gave off a faint green aura after an unknown number of years. It was probably indeed a good thing. Other than this green stone, there seemed to be some remnants of human bones here. Human bones that still remain after so many years, it is evident that the deceased was once a great power.
The voice in the dark fell silent, and Mo Wuji wasn’t speaking either, his spirit eyes calmly looked around, while placing the Great Desolate at his side, ready to strike at any time. Even if he couldn’t defeat it, he would still have to resist before he died.
It was only after a long time that the voice sighed, “I haven’t figured out what’s going on either, be careful to take out the lapis lazuli underneath the fish bone, remember not to let the fish bone pierce again.”
“Good.”Mo Wuji directly transmitted a tone to Da Wu, signalling Da Wu to go down to the pond and take out the lapis lazuli in the direction he indicated.
Great Desolate couldn’t see the green stone, but Mo Wuji was now Great Desolate’s eyes.
Great Desolate didn’t have that many scruples, and as soon as Mo Wuji gave the order, he immediately stepped into the pond. It was just that just as soon as Da Wilderness entered the pond, it was as if a huge force drove him up, causing him to directly pounce down. Then he was solidly stabbed by a fish bone.
Even though Great Desolate was an Immortal Puppet of a Great Immortal Emperor, and this fish had been dead for an unknown number of years, the fish bone still pierced through Great Desolate’s body surface, pinning Great Desolate to the top of the fish bone.
“What’s going on?”The movement of the Great Wasteland was too great, and the voice in the darkness asked again, this time much more agitated than the previous time.
A faint white light rose from the fish bone, as if it was trying to suck something from the Great Desolate, but unfortunately, after sucking for half a day, it seemed that nothing could be sucked.
Mo Wuji’s face was ugly, he was certain that there was something odd about this pond. Otherwise, with a strength like Great Desolate’s and landing under his guidance, it was absolutely impossible for him to lose control and plant himself, only to end up pouncing on top of the fish bones. That voice that was secretly instructing him was really sinister.
“It’s nothing, I was stabbed once again, luckily my precious clothes helped me once again.”Mo Wuji’s tone seemed to be a little impatient and dissatisfied. He could see that Great Desolate seemed unable to move after being stabbed by the fish spikes.
“Then you come up first.”The voice in the dark seemed to have sighed.
Mo Wuji signalled for Great Desolate to take that green stone away the moment he came up, while he memorised everything that was set up in this pond in detail.
After that voice appeared in the dark, the Great Desolate indeed climbed up from that fish spike with ease. It followed Mo Wuji’s instructions and grabbed the green stone the moment it leapt onto the pond.
A cold snort came out and Mo Wuji felt a chill run through his body, good thing that at this time, Great Desolate rushed out of the pond with Qing Shi. Mo Wuji hurriedly backed up quickly with Da Wueruo until they exited by a few metres, only then did he use Luo Shu to protect him and Da Wueruo, while the Divine Thought of the Divine Storage Complex penetrated into the green stone.
The appearance of the green stone was filled with all sorts of complicated runes, Mo Wuji’s divine thoughts were simply unable to break through these runes.
“Have you obtained the lapis lazuli?”The voice in the dark suddenly asked.
Mo Wuji calmly put the lapis lazuli away before he opened his eyes and said, “No, that lapis lazuli is difficult to get.”
He believed that the other party knew that he got the lapis lazuli, and he also believed that the other party also knew that he could see what was in the pond at this point. Knowing that, he just didn’t admit it.
Sure enough, a few moments later, the voice in the darkness suddenly said, “Young man, you are very smart and cautious. If I’m not wrong, you should possess eyes that see through all illusions, right?”
Mo Wuji still didn’t answer, these things had nothing to do with him going out, there was no need for him to answer.
“Alright, young man, it was me, Yu Min Jiang, who was wrong before and shouldn’t have lied to you in the first place. Now let’s make a deal, you place the lapis lazuli or into the lake, I’ll point you out.”The voice that secretly called itself Yu Min Jiang slowly rang out.
Although Mo Wuji didn’t know much about this kind of advanced spell formation, he was at least a researcher in formation dao, and at this moment, he could already vaguely see that there should be various spell formations in that pond. It was very likely that the fish spikes were absorbing blood, but unfortunately, the Great Desolate was just a puppet, there wasn’t a single drop of blood that could be absorbed.
The green stone was sent into the ring by Mo Wuji, this thing was not simple at first glance, there was no way he would just send it into the pond. He also didn’t believe that this shadowy voice was so kind and willing to send him out.
He took out the Ask Immortal sign in his hand and said, “Did you really refine this sign?”
“Not bad, I did refine this token, and it can indeed enter and exit the Immortal Locking Formation.”Yu Minjiang said in a deep voice, his tone was not hasty.
He did not know if it was a psychological effect of Mo Wuji, but he was inclined to sense an anxiety in this unhurried tone of Yu Minjiang, as if he was anxious that he did not send the green stone into the pond.
“Since you can refine the sign to go out, why don’t you go out yourself?”Mo Wuji asked calmly.
“I was stabbed by a broken sword and at the same time, I was locked by the flags in the Immortal Locking Formation, how can I go out?”The voice said helplessly.
Mo Wuji suddenly looked towards the huge rock on his left, which had a broken sword stuck in it, “So you’re this rock.”
“You are indeed able to see through the illusion within, not bad, I am this rock, but I am trapped within it.”This time, the voice was no longer ethereal, but actually came from that boulder, “In the Immortal Locking Formation, a stone, a straw, a puddle, are all traps to lock people in. You don’t understand the Immortal Locking Formation, once you are locked in, you will be just like us, never able to go out again.”
“So if you instruct me, I won’t be locked?”Mo Wuji stabilised.
“Of course.”Yu Min Jiang said proudly.
Mo Wuji laughed coldly, “You’re so powerful, how come you’re still locked up? You should have gone up to the sky.”
If he didn’t have Spiritual Eyes, he might have actually gone down to the pond and ended up having his entire body’s blood drained by that fish bone. To this kind of person, it would be strange for Mo Wuji to be polite.
Yu Min Jiang fell silent for a while before saying, “Believe it or not, I was assassinated. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been locked in the Immortal Locking Formation. If you co-operate with me, you can definitely get out, and if you don’t, there isn’t much to lose for me, it’s just one more mettlesome person in this Immortal Locking Formation who absorbs Yuan Qi.”
“Answer me a few questions and we’ll talk about trading and co-operating.”Mo Wuji did not continue to ridicule Yu Minjiang and asked in a deep voice, “Firstly, did that friend of mine fall? Secondly, what’s up with this fish bone? Thirdly what is your purpose for refining the Ask Immortal Sign?”
Yu Min Jiang was very dry this time, “The reason why the Immortal Locking Formation is called the Immortal Locking Formation is that there is no killing. So as long as your friend is not taken out by the wandering killing qi in here, he will not fall. Secondly that fish bone is my beast pet, as long as it gains blood, it will regain some of its freedom and then be helpful to me. Thirdly, the purpose of my refining the Immortal Enquiring Sign is to let people go out ah. Only when people go out, can people come in again.”
“What is that green stone?”Mo Wuji asked again when he saw Yu Minjiang’s dry answer.
This time, Yu Minjiang was silent and did not answer Mo Wuji’s words.
Mo Wuji estimated the other party’s limit and instead of continuing to ask about the green stone, he asked, “Since that’s the case, how should we co-operate? What do you need in order to send me out?”
Yu Min Jiang heard Mo Wuji start to seek out co-operation before he said, “Firstly you return the green stone to me, or send it into that pond. Secondly you search for one thing for me, and when the next Tower of Gods opens, you will give the Immortal Enquirer Plaque and that thing to another person to bring here. As long as you swear that you can do these two things, I can immediately let you find your way out.”
Mo Wuji said calmly, “Firstly, I won’t give back what belongs to me, and secondly, I won’t swear casually. Since you’re not willing to co-operate, then I’ll find my own way out.”
After saying that, Mo Wuji gathered his Spiritual Eyes and was even more careful in checking his surroundings. Since Yu Min Jiang had said that every blade of grass and tree here could be the presence that locked him in the Immortal Locking Formation, then he must be careful.
“Alright, I agree. I don’t need you to swear, as long as you help me find the Ancient Gods’ Sea of Consciousness Thought Crystals to come, I can point you out.”Seeing that Mo Wuji was about to leave, Yu Min Jiang hurriedly called out again.
Mo Wuji asked in disbelief, “The Ancient Gods’ Sea of Consciousness Nianjing?”
“Yes, it’s the Ancient Gods’ Sea of Consciousness Thought Crystal. You only need to go to the major battlefields of the Ancient Gods to find it. Wait, I’ll give you a sample, this was brought by a little guy who entered the Tower of Gods earlier ……” As he spoke, a pitch black stone landed in front of Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji’s Divine Thought from the God Storage Complex penetrated into this black stone to check it out, and only after determining that there were no traps, did he pick it up.
“Immortal lattice stone?”As soon as Mo Wuji grabbed this black stone, he understood what it was, the Half Immortal Domain’s Immortal Grid Stone, he had tens of millions of them on him.
It turned out that this thing was also some sort of Ancient Gods’ Sea of Consciousness Thought Crystal, it looked like it had an unusual origin.
“You know about this thing?”Yu Minjiang asked excitedly.
Mo Wuji said indifferently, “It’s nothing much, it’s just Immortal Grid Stones. Many Celestial Immortals use Immortal Grid Stones to transform their Immortal Grids and then advance to a higher level.”
“Do you have any on you?”Yu Minjiang asked excitedly.
Mo Wuji laughed, “I’m a Greatest Supreme Immortal, why would I need this?”
He didn’t admit that he had tens of millions of Immortal Grid Stones on him, and since this thing was so desperately needed by the other party, it was worth a good deal.
