Sure enough, several hours later, the changes in the Immortal Realm stopped. Even Mo Wuji could feel that the Immortal Realm was very different from before.
One pill after another was swallowed by Mo Wuji, and with a large amount of high grade and high quality immortal pills nourishing type, Mo Wuji’s body recovered over at an extremely fast speed.
A day passed and after Mo Wuji completely recovered, his divine thoughts immediately swept out. Cold Qingru’s aura rose very quickly, with the help of the To Qing Dan, Cold Qingru’s Yuan Shen and soul were completely restored. At this moment, Han Qingru was impacting the middle Golden Immortal stage under a large amount of Immortal Crystals, and it looked like she would soon break through to the middle Golden Immortal stage.
Fei Ling, Nie Chongan, and Jian Mingcheng were all healing their wounds, and despite the fact that several days had passed, they were still utilising every ounce of medicinal qi from the To Qing Dan. To them, before this, whether they were in the Sword Prison or not, the Extraordinary Supreme Green they couldn’t get.
Mo Wuji was very satisfied, now that he had this strength around him, it was a hard fight against the Pang Hong trio, and he wouldn’t be at a disadvantage. He decided to take another look at the Sword Qi Vortex, he always felt that there was something odd about this Sword Qi Vortex.
“Sovereign, you’re going out?”As soon as Mo Wuji stepped out of the cave, Nie Chong’an sensed it and he hurriedly walked out from his place of seclusion.
Mo Wuji praised in his heart, after all, he was an Immortal Emperor, even if his cultivation was a hundred percent. If he was replaced by Fei Ling, he wouldn’t necessarily be able to sense that he was leaving.
“Not bad, I’m going to go out for a spin. By the way, here’s a body refining technique, you and Jian Mingan go and cultivate and take a look, and by the way, instruct Fei Ling as well.”Mo Wuji said as he took out a jade slip and handed it to Nie Chong’an.
“Thank you, Patriarch for your generosity.”Nie Chongan excitedly received the jade slip given by Mo Wuji with both hands.
As an Immortal Emperor and having survived in the Sword Prison for such a long period of time, Mo Wuji reckoned that even if they did not refine their bodies, Nie Chong’an and Jian Mingcheng’s physical body strength was at the late stage of the Immortal Body.
Immortals who cultivated the Dao rarely went for body refining, a they felt that body refining was shameful, it was done by barbarians. Immortals are covered in immortal aura, who would go for body refining? Besides, when one’s cultivation level is high, one’s physical body is just as powerful. What they want to cultivate is also divine power and immortal energy.
Immortals who were trapped in the Sword Prison were completely different, where a body refining technique was more precious than anything else.
A body refining technique not only enhances the strength of the physical body, but also turns the sword qi here into physical strength, effectively resisting the erosion of the sword qi.
It was because of this that Nie Chong’an was excited, with the Body Refining Technique, his chances of staying alive were a lot more.
Mo Wuji nodded, “I’m going to go out for a turn, I’ll be back soon, when I come back, I’ll try to help you guys unlock the Great Sword Dao’s sword qi bindings, and then look for a way out.”
“Sovereign you can go out?”Nie Chongan asked in a tone that was trembling a little.
Mo Wuji shook his head, “I’m not sure yet, there is a thread in the Heavenly Dao after all, the reason why we haven’t found a way out yet is not that we don’t have one, it should be that we haven’t found it yet. I’ll go out this time to take a look, if we can’t find it, we’ll think of another way.”
Nie Chong’an’s heart was in a state of security, a simple truth, why did the Patriarch think of it, but they didn’t?
“Patriarch, I’ll accompany you.”Nie Chongan actually believed at this moment that Mo Wuji could really find a way out.
Mo Wuji waved his hand, “No need, you guys just need to cultivate here. I’ll go alone and be back soon.”
“Yes, Patriarch.”Nie Chong’an was growing more and more in awe of Mo Wuji at this time. This Sovereign was definitely not simple, not only was he an Immortal Formation Master, but he could also casually take out the To Qing Dan, and he even had the body refining technique used by Immortal Emperors. It looked like just not being in Sword Prison and joining Ping Fan didn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing.
……
The sword qi vortex was the same as when Mo Wuji arrived, rising up into the sky and swirling up sword qi all over the sky. Before Mo Wuji could even get close, the tearing sword qi seemed to be about to roll him in.
Mo Wuji condensed his Spiritual Eyes, and when his gaze once again landed on that black hole-like swirl of sword qi that was rushing up into the sky, the black hole that his divine thoughts were unable to penetrate into before was now clear as day.
The sword qi in the Sword Prison could not be captured by ordinary divine thoughts. It could only be felt when the sword qi touched the body, or when it harmed the Yuan Shen soul.
Now that Mo Wuji had condensed his spiritual eyes, he could clearly see the faint sword qi streaking through the black hole before it was swiftly swept down.
Mo Wuji’s gaze penetrated along the direction where this sword qi was swept up, and after just a thousand metres, he was stunned.
He actually saw a man sitting expressionlessly on a protruding rock, the endless sword qi passed through him and didn’t seem to bring him much pain.
How was this possible? Mo Wuji’s first feeling was that this was too outrageous. Because this man was still alive, there was even some dried up flesh on his body, and Mo Wuji could feel his faint aura of vitality.
In the case of any other person who entered this kind of sword qi vortex, Mo Wuji doubted that he wouldn’t be able to hold on for an incense sticking time, not to mention sitting in the middle of this sword qi vortex.
In just a dozen of breaths, Mo Wuji could tell that this man was actually refining his body. This was because every time that faint sword qi swept past this man’s body, it would stir up a faint Immortal Yuan fluctuation.
Mo Wuji was sure that his spiritual eyes were not wrong.
Mo Wuji took a few more steps forward as his spiritual eyes crossed over this man and entered further down the sword qi vortex. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji realised that his spiritual eyes were not able to see deeper.
This sword qi vortex was similar to a river of sword qi, the closer one got, the more terrifying the sword qi became. The fact that the sword qi whirlpool and the sword qi river were somewhat different again, the difference between the sword qi of the sword qi river was just a little too great, standing by the side of the sword qi river he could withstand the sword qi, but once he came into contact with the water of the sword qi river, he wouldn’t be able to hold on for a breath of time at all.
To Mo Wuji, this place was indeed the best place to refine his body.
Mo Wuji walked all the way to the location where even he couldn’t withstand the sword qi, and started to run his body refining technique. He soon realised that the more he absorbed the sword qi here to refine his physical body, the faster he absorbed the immortal spiritual qi.
Soon Mo Wuji was completely immersed in refining his body, Mo Wuji’s body refining had gone through all sorts of physical tortures, although this sword qi was terrifying, with him not having a Yuan Shen, and the Great Lake of Purple Qi in his Sea of Consciousness, it was actually extremely suited to his body refining.
Without the sword qi vortex in this Sword Prison, Mo Wuji reckoned that it would be a distant matter for him to advance to the second layer of the Divine Body.
There were no years in cultivation, and the same was true for body refining. For a body refiner with a will like Mo Wuji, the pain of the sword qi tearing was completely bearable for him.
Half a year passed by in an instant, not only had Mo Wuji solidified the first layer of the Divine Body, he had also advanced from the first layer of the Divine Body to the third layer of the Divine Body realm.
In the Immortal Realm, to be able to refine one’s physical body to the third layer of the divine Body was absolutely appalling. A Great Immortal Emperor didn’t even have the refinement of a divine Body, let alone Mo Wuji being a mere Da Luo Immortal.
Previously, Mo Wuji had just crossed over into the divine Body, his cultivation was too weak, and although he was fine in the Sword Prison, after all, he had to endure the pain of his fleshly body being torn apart by the sword qi at times.
At this moment, when Mo Wuji’s physical body advanced to the third layer of the divine Body, it would be very difficult for his physical body to be torn apart by sword qi anymore even if he casually walked around in the Sword Prison. A more powerful sword qi would at most slash his fleshly body with a blood scar.
As Mo Wuji’s fleshly body advanced to the third layer of the Divine Body, he even forgot about everything in the outside world as he frantically impacted the fourth layer of the Divine Body.
Being a body refiner himself, Mo Wuji knew better than anyone else that the fourth layer of the Divine Body and the third layer of the Divine Body were two completely different concepts.
Once he advanced to the fourth layer of the Divine Body, it would be a breeze for him to go back to the Sword Qi River to fetch water. Mo Wuji was too desperate to advance to the fourth layer of the divine Body and gradually forgot to be vigilant. Before he refined his body, but he was always warning himself not to get too close to the sword qi whirlpool.
Now, Mo Wuji had long thrown his warnings aside. The sword qi at the periphery of the sword qi vortex could no longer allow his fleshly body to advance any further, and if he wanted to advance, he had to get closer to the sword qi vortex.
……
At the same time, Peaceful Vine Mountain.
Pang Hong, Weizi Pirate and Shang He Gao were sitting in Weizi Pirate’s cave in the Immortal Hunting Ground.
The expressions of all three were somewhat grave, compared to half a year ago, the injuries of the three seemed to have improved quite a bit, this recovery still fell far short of the three’s predictions.
“Immortal friend Zi Pirate, you speak first.”It was only after a long time that Shang He Gao was the first to open the topic.
Micro Zi Thief said with a grave expression on his face, “Have the two of you ever perceived that the more water there is in the Sword Qi River, the weaker the effect on the recovery of our injuries? There’s also the fact that the water of the Sword Qi River is becoming harder and harder to fetch, that is, using Brother Pang’s method, it’s also much harder to fetch than before. Initially, Immortal Exalts and Paragon Emperors could still fetch it, but now, apart from the three of us, almost no one can fetch water from the Sword Qi River. Could it be that our recent spree of fetching water has disrupted the balance of the Sword Qi River?”
Shang He Gao voiced out, “What Brother Zi Pirate said is correct, other than that, have Brother Zi Pirate and Brother Pang noticed that the sword qi in the Peaceful Vine Mountain is getting weaker and weaker. Before, there were two hours where many places were devoid of sword qi. Now that there are twelve hours in a day, there are almost eight hours that don’t have any sword qi, and for those remaining four hours, the sword qi is extremely weak as well.”
Speaking here, Shang He Gao took a deep breath, “In theory, we should be happy that the sword qi of the Peaceful Vine Mountain has weakened. On the contrary, I feel a sense of unease, and this unease is getting stronger and stronger as this sword qi weakens, I wonder if you two have the same feeling as me.”
Hearing Shang He Gao’s words, Pang Hong and Weizi Pirate similarly looked at each other before nodding silently. They felt the same kind of uneasiness, that is, as they took more and more of the river water, the sword qi of the Peaceful Vine Mountain was just getting less and less, and the relative thing that came from that was that they were getting more and more uneasy.
“I think I somewhat understand why Nie Chongan and Jian Mingcheng had to leave Peaceful Vine Mountain to search for Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji’s possession of the To Green Pill and the fact that they were allocated less river water for their sword qi was just one reason, the main reason should be ……”
Weizi Pirate stopped here, none of the three of them spoke, in the eyes of the three, everyone could see the same answer in each other’s eyes, and that was that there was something wrong with the Peaceful Vine Mountain.
