“How come you’re okay?”The man suddenly asked, only his speech was a little leaky and his diction wasn’t very clear.
Mo Wuji retreated a few steps back and stared very warily at this man who was only a skeleton and asked, “Who are you? Where are most of the people imprisoned here?”
The reason why he was wary was because the cultivation of the man in front of him was very strong, Mo Wuji guessed that the other party was an Immortal Exalt.
“Jiejie ……” The man let out a piercing laugh, followed by stretching out his trace stained hand bones to grab Mo Wuji.
Without hesitation, Mo Wuji offered his Half Moon Heavy Halberd is a halberd blast, the Half Moon Heavy Halberd condensed out a half-moon halberd aura, which blasted onto that dry hand bone.
“Boom!”Immortal Yuan exploded apart and Mo Wuji was directly blown away. At the same time Mo Wuji struck out, a sword qi from the Sword Prison directly rushed into Mo Wuji’s bones, fortunately, Mo Wuji’s flesh was incredibly strong, and this sword qi only gave him some physical pain.
The skeleton man with the stained traces stared at Mo Wuji blankly, and a moment later, his hand bones let out a “click!”A sound was heard, directly breaking a finger.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t as good as Mo Wuji, but he had been corroded by the sword qi in the Sword Prison for countless years, and it was even now that he was being torn apart and corroded by the sword qi in the Sword Prison at all times. This tearing was not just in his physical body, but also in his Yuan Shen soul. Every time he operated his Immortal Yuan to strike, this sword qi tearing was increasing exponentially.
Mo Wuji was different, not only did he not have a sword talisman on him, even the sword qi here had no effect on him. It could be said that here, he was equivalent to an Immortal Elder. Or rather, compared to an Immortal Exalt, he possessed greater freedom and strength. Even if the sword qi increased exponentially when he made his move, it still had no effect on him, a God Body Refining Immortal.
More than ten feet away, Mo Wuji landed on the ground, and his heart was greatly settled. This Immortal Exalt’s strength was not surprising at all, and was not much of a threat to him.
“Senior, please take me, I’m willing to saddle up for senior ……” This skeletal man suddenly fell to his knees and uttered a series of words that left Mo Wuji dumbfounded.
In his eyes, if Mo Wuji could gain the upper hand against him, then he was a senior. As for how many percent of his own strength was left now, that was not even in his consideration.
For a hallowed Immortal Exalt to actually kneel down to him, an unassuming Da Luo Immortal, this was simply unbelievable to Mo Wuji. Not to mention that he was a Great Luo Immortal, even if he was a Quasi-Emperor or even an Immortal Emperor. It would also be impossible to make an Immortal Exalt kneel willingly.
Any Immortal King Immortal Dignitary had a dignity that belonged to them. Sometimes they would rather die than bend their knees.
Mo Wuji held the Half Moon Heavy Halberd and took a few steps forward to the front of this Immortal Dignitary, looking this Immortal Dignitary up and down for a while before asking a series of questions, “Get up and say it again, what’s your name, how did you get in here, how long have you been here? Why do you want me to take you?”
This Immortal Zun stood up and said respectfully, “My name is Fei Ling, I’ve been trapped in the Sword Prison for four thousand years. Before that, I had been living in the Peaceful Vine Mountain, because I offended Pang Hong, he actually made me go down to the Sword Qi River four times in a row to get water, I could only escape ……”
“Wait ……” Mo Wuji stopped Fei Ling, “What is the Peaceful Vine Mountain? What is the Sword Qi River again? Why do we have to go down to get water?”
Fei Ling explained, “Senior doesn’t have a sword talisman in his body, and he can resist the sword qi here, so he doesn’t feel uncomfortable ……”
Speaking of the word unbearable, the corner of Fei Ling’s eyes involuntarily twitched a few times, obviously his Yuan Shen was still suffering from the sword qi tearing, “Being torn by the sword qi in here, one can only try to look for a place where the sword qi is weaker from time to time. The Peaceful Vine Mountain is such a place, this place is filled with thick roots and vines that protrude outside. At the same time the sword qi here was very weak, and there were more than two hours a day where there was no sword qi eroding and tearing. As long as one enters the Sword Prison, sooner or later they will be able to find the Peaceful Vine Mountain.”
“Does the Great Sword Dao know that there is a Peaceful Vine Mountain in the Sword Prison?”Mo Wuji asked.
Fei Ling shook his head, “Definitely don’t know, after entering the Sword Prison, it is equivalent to death, there is no connection to the outside world at all, the Peaceful Vine Mountain has not been discovered for a long period of time, the Great Sword Dao could not possibly know that there is a Peaceful Vine Mountain in the Sword Prison, it’s just the River of Sword Qi, the Great Sword Dao doesn’t necessarily know about it either.”
“You continue.”Mo Wuji nodded, it was indeed similar to what he had guessed. The Great Sword Dao only threw people into the Sword Prison, and only knew that in the Sword Prison, there was sword qi everywhere tearing apart flesh and Yuan Shen, as for the specifics after entering the Sword Prison, the Great Sword Dao similarly did not know.
Sensing that Mo Wuji would most likely take himself, Fei Ling’s mood was much higher, ”The Sword Qi River is a river close to the Peaceful Vine Mountain, the water in this river is very precious. That river water can counteract the tearing of the body and Yuan Shen by the sword qi, not only that, but that river water, when drunk more often, can also gradually restore the Yuan Shen that has been torn apart by the sword qi. Unfortunately, there are very few river water that can be obtained, so every drop is precious.”
“Why? Is it because there is very little water in that river?”Mo Wuji was a little puzzled.
Fei Ling shook his head, “No, it’s because it’s hard to take out that river water. That one river is all water, but it cannot be approached. The closer one gets to the sword qi river, the stronger that sword qi erosion becomes, and with every step closer, the tearing would increase exponentially. The reason why I was torn into this ghostly shape by the sword qi was caused by going to the sword qi river to get water. Sword Qi River not only the closer the sword qi tearing the more terrible, once touched the water, the sword qi once again enhanced. The more water you take, the more terrifying the tearing becomes. With my mid Immortal Dignity strength, I can only take out about half a catty each time.
I don’t know where I offended that Pang Hong, the average person who goes to the Sword Qi River to get water can only get a turn once in a few years at most. I actually got my turn four times in one year, and this fourth time I didn’t go because I knew that if I did, I would die for sure, and I could only escape. Escaping in the Sword Prison, besides constantly flying away, stopping like I am now, is even more suffering from the torment of sword qi tearing ……”
Speaking of this Fei Ling’s corners of his eyes once again showed an expression of pain to the extreme.
Even though Mo Wuji could resist this sword qi erosion, he had no way to help Fei Ling. Furthermore, even if he could help Fei Ling, he wouldn’t do so. To go and help an Immortal Exalt powerhouse counteract the sword qi tearing, unless he wanted to die pretty much.
Right now, Fei Ling was not a threat to him because he had sword qi tearing at all times, and once he helped Fei Ling block the sword qi, the other party could kill him at any time, any moment.
This possibility was indeed rare, and even if it was even less, Mo Wuji wouldn’t take the risk.
“You said that Peaceful Vine Mountain is near the Sword Qi River, it’s only logical that Peaceful Vine Mountain’s sword Qi is even more powerful. Why did you then say that Pingan Vine Mountain’s sword qi was the weakest, and that there were still two hours a day where there was no sword qi strewn across the mountain?”Mo Wuji asked the question in his heart.
Fei Ling shook his head, “Senior doesn’t know, the sword qi of the entire Sword Prison most likely originates from the Sword Qi River, and according to normal thinking, the sword qi of Ping’an Vine Mountain which is close to the Sword Qi River is indeed very strong. In the Sword Prison, one cannot think according to normal thinking. In my opinion, the River of Sword Qi is the light, and Mount Ping’an Vine is where the darkness lies under the light, that is, under the light. The sword Qi of the River of Sword Qi can tear through any space that the sword Qi can reach, and the only place that is safe is near the River of Sword Qi, and not particularly close.”
Mo Wuji nodded, this statement was understandable. Now that he had a certain understanding of the Peaceful Vine Mountain in the Sword Prison, according to what Fei Ling had said, as long as the cultivators who had been placed under the sword talisman would subconsciously look for a place where the sword qi was weak, and in the end, everyone would probably find their way to the Peaceful Vine Mountain.
Han Qingru had been imprisoned in the Sword Prison for more than a year, it was likely that she had also found the Peaceful Vine Mountain.
“Is it true that the higher the cultivation level here, the greater the sword qi tear?”Mo Wuji thought of the varying levels of the Immortals in here, it was likely that the higher the cultivation level, the greater the tearing of the body by the sword qi.
“It’s like this, the sword qi here is very spiritual, not only does it tear at the cultivator’s physical body and soul based on the fluctuations in cultivation, it will also specialise in devouring vitality. As long as you have cultivation and vitality, when you come in, you’re tantamount to being nourished by the sword qi. One day eventually, the sword qi here will devour you with no crumbs left.”Fei Ling nodded his head.
Mo Wuji’s heart suddenly stirred as he remembered a crucial question, that is, the sword qi he felt was not strong, could it be because he did not have a spiritual root? Being judged as the weakest mortal by the sword qi here? If that was really the case, then the sword qi here was too terrifying.
He, a mortal, actually had this kind of powerful sword qi tearing through him… how much of an impact would sword qi have on an immortal?
Mo Wuji wanted to see Han Qingru quickly more and more, Han Qingru had a spiritual root and was a solid Golden Immortal cultivator.
“After you entered the Sword Prison, how long did it take you to find Peaceful Vine Mountain?”Mo Wuji’s tone looked a little anxious.
“I used more than a month to find the Sword Qi Vine Mountain. If we go over there now, it would only take half a day at most.”Fei Ling said in a slightly curt manner.
In his opinion, the sword qi here had no effect on Mo Wuji, and his strength was much stronger than him, so there was definitely a place for him to go to the Peaceful Vine Mountain. All he had to do was to follow Mo Wuji, and he would be able to mix up a peace and quiet.
“Tell us who that Pang Hong who forced you away is? Is it possible that Peaceful Vine Mountain is under his control?”If Mo Wuji wanted to go to the Peaceful Vine Mountain, he would have to deal with the strong people there.
Before he went, he must investigate clearly.
Fei Ling shook his head, “He doesn’t have the ability to do so yet, there are three main forces in the Peaceful Vine Mountain. The first is indeed the Demon Hand controlled by Pang Hong, who occupies a quarter of the Ping’an Vine Mountain’s territory, the second is the Weizi Thief, who formed an alliance called the Immortal Hunt, and likewise controls a quarter of the Ping’an Vine Mountain. There was also another one called Shanghe Gao, who formed an alliance called Zhengqi Mountain, which also controlled a quarter of the area.
The remaining quarter of Ping’an Vine Mountain was better than the rest of Sword Prison, and could only be considered the worst in a place like Ping’an Vine Mountain. It’s a place that basically has no people who have joined these three forces, or who the three forces don’t want.”
