Chapter 879: The God World Of Legends

"Boom!" Huge masses of the walls were sliced apart. Then, they were sent to burn in the Scholar's Heart.

"Dao Friend, even if you destroy my sea of consciousness, I will still be able to recover it slowly. Must you be that persistent in trying to kill me? I admit that I'm unable to trap you. I am willing to guide you out of here, and from here on, we will have nothing to do with one another."

After a brief moment of fury, Kun Yun recovered his calm. He finally understood Mo Wuji's intentions; Mo Wuji was trying to dig through his sea of consciousness wall.

If he could fully control his sea of consciousness, even if this ant in front was hundreds time stronger, it could only dream of doing anything to him. But now, he was clear that the ant had chosen the best option.

He was unable to fully control his giant sea of consciousness. Even though the other party had fallen into his sea of consciousness, neither of them would come out victorious. His sea of consciousness would take a longer time to heal while the other party might be trapped here forever.

To Kun Yun, the more important reason why he decided to give up on Mo Wuji was because he was sure that Mo Wuji didn't obtain the fate. If a cunning fella like Mo Wuji didn't obtain the fate, then he, Kun Yun, wasn't willing to continue wasting his time.

When Mo Wuji heard that Kun Yun was no longer enraged, he stopped. He also knew that his actions could only lengthen the time the other party took to recover and he was unable to eliminate Kun Yun. And when it came to cunningness, he was definitely inferior to Kun Yun. If he stayed in Kun Yun's sea of consciousness for too long, he might actually end up falling for one of Kun Yun's schemes.

In both Mo Wuji's and Kun Yun's heart, the other was as devious as a ghost.

"How do I get out?" Even though Mo Wuji stopped, his Kun Wu Sword was still surging with sword intent.

"You will definitely suspect this method, but continue digging like this. Begin at the position 40 meters behind you. I will give you three days. During this three days, I will not mend my sea of consciousness. But this is on the premise that you dig in a stable manner." Kun Yun's clear voice had suddenly turned hoarse.

"Ok." Mo Wuji didn't utter a single word of nonsense. In a straightforward manner, he retreated by 40 meters. His Kun Wu Sword stabbed forward and a 3000-meter deep sword scar formed in the wall of the sea of consciousness.

Kun Yun kept to his words; he didn't continue healing his sea of consciousness.

Seeing Mo Wuji take action without uttering any nonsense not asking anything about his past, Kun Yun knew that Mo Wuji definitely wasn't simple. He especially hated such decisive and cunning people.

Mo Wuji wholeheartedly wanted to escape as soon as possible. He knew he had to leave while the other party still couldn't fully control this giant sea of consciousness.

After all, the Dao was something that was uncertain. The other party might suddenly have an enlightenment which allowed him to heal his sea of consciousness rapidly. If that day comes, he, Mo Wuji, would die without being able to resist.

A person like Kun Yun was so terrifying that Mo Wuji didn't want to spend even half a breath more than he should.

Mo Wuji's speed was staggering. Coupled with the help of Kun Wu Sword, he only needed two days before there was nothing in front of him.

A sensation of freedom came over; Mo Wuji's spiritual will could sweep out unbridledly. He exhaled deeply. He had finally escaped; he had finally left that terrifying sea of consciousness.

There were no longer any traces of Kun Yun's sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji didn't even know where he came out from. However, Mo Wuji didn't want to think too much about it. If such an ancient power couldn't even do such a thing, then he wouldn't be able to survive these years with such injuries.

But Mo Wuji was soon dumbfounded. He was sure that this was not the void. The Laws of the Heaven and Earth here seemed much stronger than the Immortal World. Not only that, the immortal spiritual energy here was much thicker. No, this wasn't immortal spiritual energy, this was an energy similar to that within the green crystals.

The reason why he knew that this wasn't the void was because there was air around him and his surroundings were murky black. This gave Mo Wuji the impression that he had just left one strange chasm and entered another.

Mo Wuji could only whip out his Book of Luo to protect himself while he continuously moved upwards.

A day passed and some light pierced through the darkness. Mo Wuji celebrated gleefully; he could tell that this was light from the Sun.

Right at this moment, a terrifying feeling came from below his feet. Mo Wuji didn't think too much as he directly teleported.

"Kacha!" It felt as though the entire space had been bitten; Mo Wuji felt an intense sensation of emptiness around him. Fortunately, he had already landed on hard ground. Through his spiritual will, he noticed a terrifyingly large mouth flash by.

Cold sweat trickled down Mo Wuji's back. If he had been slower or if that giant mouth detected him earlier, he would have already been dead.

Looking around, he found that he was standing at the edge of a deep gully. He had just come out from that gully. It was unknown exactly how deep that gully was as his spiritual will wasn't even able to reach its bottom. Not only that, his spiritual eye also couldn't see what was inside clearly.

He added caution to his caution but he still almost got screwed by Kun Yun. That old demon Kun Yun, he must have used some method to send Mo Wuji from his sea of consciousness to this deep gully.

Mo Wuji's spiritual will swept around his surroundings. This place was desolate; there wasn't even a strand of wild grass.

That feeling of threat was constantly within his heart. Mo Wuji didn't dare to stay here any further. He immediately fled using his Wind Escape Technique.

After moving for a day, the energy around him got thicker and he finally stopped. There was finally signs of life here. A green and tender grass appeared by the side of the path. Mo Wuji elatedly sent over to dig this grass up.

Exactly where did he end up in? There was actually a Two-leaved Immortal Dust Grass by the side of the road. This was a Tier 9 immortal herb used to concoct a Tier 9 healing pill, the Immortal Dust Pill. He didn't have much use for a healing pill but such a thing was a priceless treasure for other people.

Just as Mo Wuji picked the Two-leaved Immortal Dust Grass up, two shadows swiftly landed beside him.

Mo Wuji grabbed his jade box and hurriedly retreated. He actually felt that these two were much stronger than him. At this instant, Mo Wuji's heart was even bellowing angrily. Why were there so many experts?

There were two women. Their looks were considered pretty and they both had almond-shaped faces. One of them was relatively taller.

The two's gaze swept across the jade box in Mo Wuji's hand. When they saw that it was only a Two-leaved Immortal Dust Grass in the jade box, a hint of disdain flashed across their eyes.

That relatively taller woman asked, "What's your name? Why have you appeared so near to Tao Tie Valley? Did you see a youth that is slightly shorter than you in the area?"

Mo Wuji was slightly startled. Tao Tie Valley? Could it be the deep gully that he had just come out from?

"I was asking you a question, didn't you hear it? Also, why can't I see through your cultivation?" The relatively taller woman suddenly harrumphed harshly. Following her harrumph, an intense aura pressed down on Mo Wuji, causing him to be unable to breathe.

Mo Wuji's heart pounded; he finally came to a realisation. This two woman's auras were similar to that Yu Zhenna. Yu Zhenna was definitely from a realm higher than the Immortal World. Since these two could release the same auras as Yu Zhenna without needing regulation talismans, it meant that this place wasn't the Immortal World.

"I was here looking for some herbs. I didn't see any youth," Mo Wuji said hurriedly.

"Big Sister, this person looks a little slow. He even wants such rubbish herbs. He wouldn't even notice it even if Uncle brushed past him," The shorter woman added.

The taller one nodded, seemingly in agreement with the shorter woman's words. Her tone became slightly gentler, "Then why can't I see through your cultivation?"

"I have a concealment technique which is not bad. If these two senior sisters are interested, I…"

Before Mo Wuji could finish speaking, that taller woman waved her hand, "Who wants your concealment technique? Also, with your bit of cultivation, why would you need to conceal it?"

Mo Wuji said awkwardly, "I cultivate this technique on the side."

"Little sister, let's go." The taller woman felt that Mo Wuji was simply a passer-by, an insignificant one at that. Thus, she couldn't be bothered to continue wasting her words on Mo Wuji.

As the two walked into the distance, Mo Wuji could still hear their voices, "Big sister, that fella was looking for herbs in the vicinity of Tao Tie Valley. He truly leaves people speechless."

The taller woman sneered, "With his capabilities, he wouldn't even be able to get to the area with the lowest tier of god herbs. Even if he does, he would be courting his death."

"Big sister is right." The shorter woman responded. By that time, the two were already in the distance.

Mo Wuji looked at their disappearing silhouettes, the glee in his heart had vanished without a trace. Originally, he would have no qualms about leaving the Immortal World. But now, he still had a huge enemy left in the Immortal World - Zi Changluo. How could he rest at ease if Zi Changluo was still alive?

He also didn't know whether this was the God World of legends.

Chapter 880: Sent To Mine

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Just as Mo Wuji was pondering about where he should head towards, he noticed a youth, who was half a head shorter than him, approaching from faraway. Even though the youth had yet to reach Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji could guess that this youth should be the uncle mentioned by the two women; the person they were looking for.

"This Dao Friend must be in good spirits to be looking for God spiritual herbs here at the Tao Tie Valley," The youth started laughing out loud at the sight of the Two-leaved Immortal Dust Grass on Mo Wuji’s hands.

Mo Wuji kept the Two-leaved Immortal Dust Grass as he praised the beauty of this youth in his heart. That’s right, he was indeed beautiful. Fair skin, large eyes and a delicate pair of hands which looked almost like a woman’s. Only his hoarse voice gave him some aura of a man.

"Ahah, I have a low cultivation so I don’t dare to set foot onto the production land of the God spiritual herbs. Therefore, I could only find a desolate place like this to pick some low tier herbs," Mo Wuji replied awkwardly.

The youth nodded when he heard Mo Wuji’s words, "That’s true. Oh yes, did those two women came to look for me earlier on?"

Mo Wuji replied, "They asked me about their uncle but they left right after I told them I have no idea who or where their uncle was."

The youth pat Mo Wuji’s shoulder before saying, "Well said. Why don’t you follow me? I shall bring you to a place to pick higher tier God spiritual herbs."

Mo Wuji could sense that this youth’s cultivation was much higher than his which was why he started feeling uneasy.

"Many thanks, but I think I am still too weak now so I’ll pass." Mo Wuji had no idea who this person was and comparatively, Mo Wuji was indeed much weaker than him. Given his current level of strength, following this man around would simply be courting early death.

The youth lowered his voice and said, "I am not lying to you and I’ve even heard of the existence of a god lattice there. I doubt you have obtained a god lattice right…"

Mo Wuji was slightly dumbfounded as he wondered what a god lattice was. Could it be the same thing as an immortal lattice? From the words of this youth, it seemed like god lattice shouldn’t be the same as an immortal lattice. Immortal lattice could be condensed using immortal lattice stones aka consciousness crystals or could be condensed using one’s own Grand Dao spirituality.

This youth mentioned ‘existence’ which meant to say that the god lattice was an actual object.

Just as Mo Wuji was about to inquire more about the god lattice, the youth’s expression changed and his body flashed across. In almost an instance, he disappeared in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji could only feel a slight fluctuation in space and was unable to see how this youth disappeared right in front of him.

However, just a few seconds later, the previous two woman landed right in front of Mo Wuji again.

"What’s your name?" The taller woman asked once more.

Previously, Mo Wuji didn’t mention his own name but now that the other party came back to ask him again, he answered, "My name is Mo Wuji."

"Very good, you are quite pleasing to the eye so follow us then," The taller woman sized Mo Wuji up once more before saying abruptly.

Mo Wuji’s heart jumped. Leave with these two women?

"Sorry, I have other matters to attend so I won’t be able to follow you," Mo Wuji rejected without hesitation.

The taller woman sneered, "This isn’t up to you to decide."

Having said that, she expanded her palm in an attempt to grab Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji felt relieved because this woman didn’t seem to be able to control the space around him. Since the other party wasn’t able to control the space around him, he would have the opportunity to escape.

At the thought of this, a few streams of elemental energy was actually restraining him. In a hurry, Mo Wuji let out a punch.

Bang! An oppressive sound was heard and Mo Wuji’s domain crushing fist tore apart the restraining elemental energy. In the next moment, he had already escaped out from the restraining elemental energy.

Simultaneously, his power of his domain crushing fist seemed like it had disappeared completely into an ocean.

"Ai, I really couldn’t tell that you have a few tricks up your sleeves," Having failed to capture Mo Wuji, the taller woman was not only not disappointed, her spirits seemed to be lifted.

Mo Wuji’s heart was heavy because that shorter woman had yet to make her move. The punch that he let out also made him understood the logic as to why the opponent was unable to restrain his surrounding. That was because the Laws of Heaven and Earth here were much higher and if the opponent could restrain the space in a place like this, her cultivation would be enough to finish Mo Wuji easily.

Mo Wuji had already extended his spiritual will to scan the surrounding as he prepared to escape. Even though the two women were clearly much stronger than him, he believed that he was still capable of escaping.

The taller woman appeared to know what Mo Wuji was planning so she sneered and said, "If you are planning to escape, I assure you that you will be dead very soon. I have no idea how you came to this place but I can tell you that there are only three directions for you to leave this place. All three directions would end up in dead ends and you would be captured to mine for ores. Eventually, you will die in the boundless field. The only difference would be the different mining area you would be thrown to.

And I assure that nothing would happen to you if you follow me. I have no ill-intentions towards you and in fact, you would be thankful you choose to follow me. If you are still doubtful, why don’t you check it out yourself…"

Before she could finish her sentence, Mo Wuji shifted and ignited his Wind Escape Technique to the maximum.

"This fella’s cultivation might not be high but he definitely had some experience in escaping," The taller woman didn’t chase after him as the shorter woman exclaimed.

The taller woman sneered, "Since he is so eager to die, we shall let him be. To think he would actually treat our kindness so indifferently, this fella would deserve it if he died in the mining area. Let’s go, I don’t believe we can’t find a person to replace uncle."

…

After tens of breath, Mo Wuji knew that the two women didn’t chase after him. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief as he grew a little more cautious.

He suspected that the taller woman’s words about someone obstructing him from leaving this place were true. Therefore, he had to be more cautious from now on.

On the way, Mo Wuji picked out a few peak grade immortal herbs and even managed to pick out a few unknown herbs. These herbs exuded energy exceeding Tier 9 immortal herbs and Mo Wuji’s guess was that these were God spiritual herbs.

"Looks like you’ve picked up quite a few God spiritual herbs eh?" Just as Mo Wuji picked up another unknown God spiritual herb, he heard a faint voice. Mo Wuji’s first thought was to shift away but just as he moved, a blade radiance exploded towards him.

Mo Wuji’s body flashed and before he could act, a rope, which looked like it had eyes, tied him up tightly.

Mo Wuji didn’t continue struggling because there were three people surrounding him and every one of them was stronger than the previous tall woman. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so clueless even when the opponent was already in front of him. Fortunately, Mo Wuji knew that these people were not out to kill him because if they were, he would have sensed their killing intent.

"An average cultivation level, I doubt he would be able to last long," A copper face man held onto the thick sword on his back as he sized Mo Wuji up. Evidently, his tone was filled with disappointment.

"Ai, it is getting increasingly hard to find miners nowadays. Let’s just be glad with that we found one, feed him with some Black Transformation Pill and send him away. He should still be able to dig out some god crystals and if we’re lucky, we might even get some peak grade ones," A skinny and tall man standing on the left side of the copper face man exclaimed.

The copper face man suddenly lifted his fist and before his fist could land on Mo Wuji’s face, Mo Wuji took the initiative to open his mouth.

"Not bad, you’re pretty tactful." The copper face man laughed as he retracted his fist. In the next instance, a pill with fishy smell landed into his mouth.

The moment the pill entered his mouth, his meridians actually showed signs of being routed. Mo Wuji cursed in his heart and hurried to circulate his detoxification meridian.

Once the detoxification meridian was circulated, the wild and dark energy was instantly turned into a unique elemental energy. At that point in time, Mo Wuji could actually feel his cultivation rising exponentially. The pity was that he didn’t dare to cultivate now and had to waste his opportunity.

What an incredible pill. Despite not allowing the Black Transformation Pill to waste his meridians, Mo Wuji understood the use of this Black Transformation Pill.

This was a pill which could blacken spirit roots and once the cultivator’s spirit roots were blackened, it could be transform into energy. Moreover, the few guys talked about digging for god crystals so clearly, this was a pill to stop people who were supposed to mine from cultivating. By piecing up the words of these three people, it seemed like the Black Transformation Pill was used to support the miner’s life force. In other words, mining would quicken the death of the miner.

Pity was that these fellas didn’t know that Mo Wuji had no spirit roots or even spirit channels. The toxic which could blacken his meridians had already been swept away by his detoxification meridian.

Half an incense later, the short and fat man, who fed Mo Wuji the Black Transformation Pill, brought along a spirit roots detector to Mo Wuji. He took away Mo Wuji’s ring before placing his hand on the spirit roots detector.

The detector displayed a dark grey colour and no other colour.

The skinny and tall man nodded as he knew that Mo Wuji’s spirit roots had already been blackened; primordial spirit should have dissipated too. With a sweep of his hand, he kept the rope which was tying Mo Wuji up.

Mo Wuji didn’t take the risk to try and escape. He could tell that these three fellas were well experienced in capturing people. With his current strength and inexperience of the place, the chances of him successfully escaping was slim.

"Even without spirit roots or primordial spirit, you don’t have to worry. As long as you dig out enough god crystals in the stipulated time, you will have the chance to recover your spirit roots and earn your freedom. Of course, if you choose to view this passively, you shall lose your chance at reincarnation. That would be pretty miserable," The skinny and tall man said to Mo Wuji.

At this moment, Mo Wuji realised that the opposition was not only trying to blacken his spirit roots but also his primordial spirit. He didn’t thought of this was because since he didn’t have spirit roots, he would naturally not have primordial spirit too.

...

Two hours later, Mo Wuji was brought to a massive flying ship. The copper face man threw Mo Wuji into a huge cabin before shutting the restriction of the ship and left.

Mo Wuji realised that there were already over ten people on this ship but everyone here had a face of despair. Perhaps, he was the only one in the cabin who was still thinking about how to escape.

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

The ship’s cabin was very spacious and over 10 people were seated within in. Mo Wuji’s spirit storage channel’s spiritual will scanned through the cabin and could tell that these people’s spirit roots had all been completely destroyed. However, the elemental energy surrounding their body was still surging turbulently. Everything was stored within the Dantian as Mo Wuji guessed that they should have been given the Black Transformation Pill.

Mo Wuji didn’t speak as he found a place to sit down.

Just as he sat down, a skinny man shifted next to Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji furrowed his brows because since the entire cabin was so spacious, what was the meaning of this fella’s act?

"Big Brother, my name is Tian Nu. May I ask how do I address Big Brother?" The skinny man asked softly.

"Mo Wuji," Mo Wuji simply said this and didn’t continue further. He was prepared to use his spirit storage channel to observe the surrounding before finding an opportunity to escape. As for mining, it shall be left with those who are interested; Mo Wuji had never intended to go over.

"Could Big Brother Mo be guarding against me? Actually, I am the same type of person as Big Brother Mo." Tian Nu noticed that Mo Wuji was not exactly interested in talking to him so he added.

Mo Wuji didn’t reply, the same type of person? He had just come over from the Immortal World and was even unaware of the structure of the God World so how could he be the same type of person as this skinny man.

Tian Nu further lowered his voice, "Big Brother Mo, if my guess wasn’t wrong, Big Brother should still have your spirit roots and is still able to use your spiritual will."

Mo Wuji was shocked and following which, he instantly realised that his use of his spirit storage channel’s spiritual will must have been detected by this man. His spirit storage channel was extremely concealed. Even if these people’s spirit roots were not destroyed, they shouldn’t be able to detect it so quickly. How would this skinny man know?

At the instance Tian Nu mentioned about his use of spirit roots, Mo Wuji was already prepared to act and get rid of this skinny man.

Tian Nu seemed to have sensed Mo Wuji’s intention so he hurried to explain, "Big Brother must not misunderstand me. I am able to find out Big Brother’s use of spiritual will only because I am a little unusual. Does Big Brother Mo has any other plans? Little Brother here is willing to follow you everywhere to support your cause. All I ask is for Big Brother to bring me away."

Mo Wuji said faintly, "When I first arrived here, they had already told me that if I could mine enough god crystals, I would be able to earn my freedom back."

Tian Nu said helplessly, "Big Brother Mo, you don’t have to test me. If I really intended to plot against you, I would have told the manager directly that your spirit roots were not destroyed and you could still use your spiritual will. Why would I bother discussing terms with you?"

Mo Wuji was already convinced by Tian Nu’s words but he had no concrete plans yet so how could he form an alliance with someone else? Moreover, this skinny man should have no idea that he was only in the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage. Otherwise, he should be pretty disappointed. Wouldn’t it be a joke for an Immortal Emperor to bring a cultivator of the God World away?

He didn’t continue questioning why Tian Nu still had his spirit roots and spiritual will. Like himself, Mo Wuji understood that everyone had their own secret.

"Could Big Brother Mo be thinking of using your spirit roots and spiritual will to get some god crystals from the god mining field before using it to leave?" Tian Nu said once again as he saw that Mo Wuji was still unwilling to reply.

Mo Wuji pondered for a moment before saying, "Is that not possible?"

Tian Nu said in a solemn tone, "If Big Brother Mo was planning to do that, you would be gravely mistaken. Do you really think we will be sent to mine for god crystals?"

"Are we not?" Mo Wuji was confused. Initially, he was still considering to mine for some god crystals if he really had no other way out. Having some god crystals wouldn’t do him harm because he still had his Undying World with him.

Tian Nu said with an incredibly soft voice, "Big Brother Mo, think about it. With our destroyed spirit roots and primordial spirit, how long would we be able to mine for god crystals while only being supported by pills which replenish part of our elemental energy? If we are really going to mine for god crystals, they wouldn’t have destroyed both our spirit channels and primordial spirit."

"So what are we mining for?" Mo Wuji suddenly felt slightly frightened as he actually believed the words of those who captured him. It was as ridiculous as a wolf saying to a sheep: I am employing you to consume grass and once you’ve consumed enough, I will let you go.

Mo Wuji had studied psychology before so he would naturally know what was this about. The other party had captured him so it should be easy for them to kill him off. Now that they didn’t kill him, he subconsciously thought that they wouldn’t lie to him. Tian Nu’s words were clearly correct too because without spirit roots or spirit channels coupled with the blackened primordial spirit, one wouldn’t be able to mine for a prolonged period of time no matter how much elemental energy one had.

"Big Brother should have some understanding towards god lattice right?" Tian Nu asked.

Mo Wuji answered, "I have heard of it but I am not too sure about it. Could you help by explaining to me? Because of my low cultivation level, I am even unaware of the realms in the God World."

"Ah…" Tian Nu let out an ‘ah’ when he heard Mo Wuji’s words and a trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes. It seemed to be because Mo Wuji said that his cultivation was still low.

However, he readjusted his attitude and said with an even softer voice, "Big Brother, you’re not from here right?"

Mo Wuji guessed that it should be because he appeared clueless about even the realms of the God World which was why Tian Nu started suspecting him. Mo Wuji didn’t choose to conceal anything as he nodded, "Yes, I am indeed not from this place. Hopefully Brother Tian Nu can provide some explanation to me."

Tian Nu suddenly stopped talking and moments later, the cabin door was reopened and two more unconscious cultivators were thrown in.

In one look, Mo Wuji knew that these two fellas were captured to mine as well. Whether or not they were really going to mine or not, their fate should be the same as everyone else in here.

Once the cabin door was shut again, Tian Nu said, "Actually, this place isn’t called the God World but the God Domain. In the God Domain, the strongest would be God Kings. However, there weren’t many God Kings even in the entire God Domain. Those who had just entered the God Realm would be in the Nascent God Stage and it is split into 9 levels. As long as one cultivated to level 9 of the Nascent God Stage, one would be able to condense god lattice and step into the Heavenly God Stage. Heavenly Gods are the true gods who have been recognised by the Heaven Dao Laws.

The Heavenly God Stage was also divided into 9 levels and one would be able to charge towards the God Monarch Stage at the Great Circle of the Heavenly God Stage. Big Brother Mo, the most precious thing in the God Realm isn’t any treasure or pills but the god lattice…"

Mo Wuji was intending to inquire further about the stages after the God Monarch Stage but hearing Tian Nu talked about how precious the god lattice was, he asked, "Brother Tian Nu, could you explain more about the god lattice?"

Tian Nu knew that Mo Wuji wasn’t from the God Domain so he didn’t find it odd, "A Nascent God who wishes to enter a higher stage must condense his own god lattice. The grade of the god lattice would eventually affect how far one could go in the future."

"There are different grades to the god lattice?"

"Of course there are, the god lattice is graded by stars. One star would be the lowest grade while five stars is the highest. You should know about God King Wu Jie right? Oh yes, I doubt you would know about him. I’ve heard that he had condensed a five stars god lattice. In the entire God World, the number of experts with five stars god lattice were as rare as a phoenix feather and a unicorn horn. Tian Nu appeared extremely familiar with these matters as he explained everything in great details.

Just as Mo Wuji was going to inquire further, Tian Nu raised his hand to stop Mo Wuji from speaking, "I know what you’re going to ask. In the God World, there are many forms of appearance for the existence of god lattice. The main ones would be God Lattice Dao Fruit, god lattice crystals and I’ve even heard that consciousness crystals could even be used to condense god lattice. The God Lattice Dao Fruit would only form god lattice of three stars and below so the god lattice crystals would still be the most valuable treasure to condense god lattice. God lattice crystals are graded by the number of colours. One coloured god lattice crystals are the most commonly seen and the use of one coloured crystal would form a one star god lattice. Five coloured god lattice crystals are the rarest and every one of them would ignite a bloody reign of terror…"

Mo Wuji hurried to ask, "What is the consciousness crystal? It could also be used to condense god lattice?"

Tian Nu replied, "There are huge restrains in using the consciousness crystal and even dangers. This is crystal rock condensed from the sea of consciousness of fallen ancient experts. Those who used the consciousness crystals would usually not be able to achieve their full potential and could even degrade along the way. One example would be if an expert with five stars god lattice had fallen, his sea of consciousness could at most form three stars god lattice.

I’ve even heard of a type of god lattice called the primal god lattice which was rumoured to be a heaven splitting existence. People called this god lattice the god tablet and those who condensed the god tablet lattice are likely to be creators of a new world."

Mo Wuji nodded as Tian Nu’s explanation was not far off from Ji Li’s explanation and the only difference was the Ji Li didn’t explain about the god lattice. Mo Wuji had nothing much on him except loads of consciousness crystals which he would not use for himself. At the very least, he would sell them away in the future.

"You said we weren’t going to mine so why are we going to do?"

"I’m suspecting that we wouldn’t be mining but to collect god lattice crystals…" Tian Nu said in a low voice.

"How is this different from mining?" Mo Wuji questioned because collecting sounded the same as mining.

Tian Nu answered, "In the God Domain, 90% of the god lattice crystals are at the God Burial Valley…"

At this moment, Mo Wuji felt a slight tremble at the bottom of his feet. He exchanged glances with Tian Nu and both of them new that the flying ship had moved off.

Mo Wuji said calmly, "Brother Tian Nu, I have decided to work with you so please continue."

Despite sensing that Mo Wuji was not that strong, Tian Nu was still pleasantly surprised, "I knew that Big Brother Mo isn’t ordinary . The god lattice crystal still had a unique character and that is that it was suspended within the God Burial Valley. It is extremely firm and one wouldn’t be able to bring it down unless one had sufficient elemental energy. Anybody who brings the god lattice crystal down would have his primordial spirit and spirit roots merged and then condense the god lattice."

"Are you saying that if our primordial spirit and spirit roots were not blackened, we would be the ones using the god lattice crystals once we touched it?" Mo Wuji asked anxiously.

"Indeed."

"Since this is the case, why don’t those people who want to condense their god lattice grab the god lattice crystals themselves?"

Tian Nu sighed, "If the god lattice crystals were so easy to obtain, it wouldn’t be that valuable anymore. The God Burial Valley was reputable only because anyone who enters would have his life force depleted. Once you enter the God Burial Valley, you could lose your entire life force even before you find any god lattice crystal."

"So frightening," Mo Wuji exclaimed in his heart. If he hadn’t met Tian Nu, he would really believe that he could mine for some god lattice crystals to bring away.

Tian Nu continued, "Big Brother Mo, if my guess is right, we would lose our consciousness and thought once we reached the God Burial Valley. After which, our hands would be carved with transfer array runes before being sent into the God Burial Valley. In this manner, we would be focused only on finding the god lattice crystal and once we find those crystals, it will be immediately transferred to the greedy people outside. Therefore, we have to find a way to escape even before we reach the God Burial Valley."

"Are there any examples of people surviving even after entering the God Burial Valley?" Mo Wuji asked.

Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Tian Nu said anxiously, "Big Brother Mo, your future would definitely be extraordinary but you must not think about this. Even a God King with nine lives wouldn't survive once he entered the God Burial Valley. Indeed, there were people who managed to escape alive but they had either turn retarded or died the moment they escaped. The only person who escaped with no major injuries was God King Wu Jie. In fact, he managed to obtain his five coloured god lattice crystal from the God Burial Valley."

Mo Wuji nodded, "I get it now. Brother Tian Nu, do you have any good idea?"

From Mo Wuji's perspective, this person named Tian Nu was definitely not simple. Even while he knew that Mo Wuji had low cultivation, he didn't seem to have any hesitation. Because Mo Wuji had created the Mortal Dao, he managed to enter this place unharmed. If Tian Nu could also enter unharm, how could he be a simple person?

Tian Nu shook his head, "Big Brother Mo, I have two Mind Palaces which was why I have two seas of consciousness. One of my sea of consciousness could stimulate out fake spirit roots and spirit channels. The reason why I am capable of using my spiritual will now is not because I am incredibly powerful but because only one of my sea of consciousness, one set of fake spirit roots and spirit channels have been destroyed. My strength is at concealment and I'm weak in other areas. As long as Big Brother Mo could get us out of here, I would have a way to conceal the both of us…"

Mo Wuji understood why Tian Nu wanted to work with him. It was so that Tian Nu could borrow his strength.

Mo Wuji didn't dare to extend his spiritual will outwards because he knew how weak he was compared to everyone else in this place. If even Tian Nu could notice his spiritual will, how could he expect the others to not notice him? Even if it was because Tian Nu had a unique ability, Mo Wuji was not willing to risk.

"Tian Nu, you can address me by my name in the future. I might be even weaker than you so I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to escape this ship at all. Also, I don't think I am fit enough to be addressed as Big Brother by you," Mo Wuji said honestly.

Hearing Mo Wuji's words, there was indeed a flash of disappointment in Tian Nu's eyes. Even so, he concealed his emotions well as he said, "Precisely because Big Brother Mo is not very strong, the people outside wouldn't be able to notice your situation which is why Big Brother Mo's future would be incredibly promising. Big Brother Mo, feel free to suggest any ideas and regardless of success or failure, Tian Nu would agree to it all."

"Great," Mo Wuji said, "Given our strengths now, trying to leave the ship would be an impossible dream. My plan would be to wait till we reach the periphery of the God Burial Valley. If all else fails, we shall enter the God Burial Valley."

"Ah…" Tian Nu was momentarily dumbfounded when he heard of Mo Wuji's idea. These people want them to look for god lattice crystals so they would definitely make them lose their consciousness once they reached the God Burial Valley. Without consciousness, how would they be able to think of any idea. Moreover, even if they retained their consciousness, their life force would be sucked away by the God Burial Valley.

Mo Wuji patted Tian Nu's shoulder as he said, "Tian Nu, just have faith in me."

Mo Wuji had the detoxification and vitality channel so he didn't believe the God Burial Valley could finish him off.

Even though this was his thoughts, Mo Wuji was still very frustrated and helpless. He was well aware that other than entering the God Burial Valley, there was no other way around this. With his intermediate Immortal Emperor's strength, he wouldn't have any means of escaping even if he had monstrous intelligence against these people who captured him so easily.

Sometimes, everything else would simply be like fleeting clouds in front of true strength.

"Big Brother Mo, I trust you," Tian Nu knew that Mo Wuji made his decision helplessly but he had no other choice too.

Listening to Mo Wuji would bring about a slight chance because if he chose not to trust Mo Wuji, what could he do on his own?

Just as Mo Wuji was about to speak again, Tian Nu suddenly shut his eyes with a face of despair. Mo Wuji knew that Tian Nu was extremely sensitive in this aspect so he followed suit to shut his eyes while revealing a disappointed expression.

Half a moment later, the cabin door was opened and a bald headed man walked in. After entering, he didn't say anything as he simply sat beside the door.

Mo Wuji had no choice but to keep all his burning questions by the side of his heart. He could only wait for further opportunities to ask Tian Nu.

…

Multiple days later, the bald headed man had yet to leave but the flying ship came to a halt.

The flying ship stopped and the door opened. The bald headed man looked at the people inside the cabin as he said with a cold voice, "Everyone follows me and we shall consume an antidote first. Because the air of our mining area contains poison, everyone needs to consume the antidote first. Those who perform well will be rewarded with your freedom a year later. Those fortunate and are able to find peak grade god crystals would be rewarded your freedom immediately. Additionally, you will be given a god pill to recover your spirit roots.

It was perhaps the bald headed man's last sentence that came into effect because everyone suddenly felt rejuvenated.

Pills were passed down by the bald headed man and Mo Wuji received one pitched black pill too. The pill brought along a fishy smell and it looked similar to the ordinary antidote for poisons.

Mo Wuji didn't hesitate as he swallowed the pill in his hand.

Tian Nu saw that Mo Wuji had swallowed the pill so he followed suit. He was certain that his judgement would not be wrong. Mo Wuji was not only able to retain his primordial spirit as well as spirit roots so Tian Nu was confident in Mo Wuji's abilities. More importantly, he believed that Mo Wuji was trustworthy enough.

Corroding dao spirituality expanded throughout his body and Mo Wuji could feel everything blackening in his mind. Concurrently, the detoxification meridian started circulating.

Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief as he was worried that his detoxification meridian might not work. If the detoxification meridian worked, he would still have an opportunity of escaping.

At the same time, his spirit storage channel made use of his detoxification meridian to sweep up the toxic in Tian Nu's body.

Mo Wuji's detoxification meridian would be able to disregard even the peak grade highly poisonous toxic. Therefore, these two pills worth of toxic merely needed one circulation of the meridian to cleanse it.

After Tian Nu sent the pill into his mouth, his face turned pale immediately. The toxic pill was simply so terrifying that it wrapped around his entire nervous system almost instantaneously.

With a toxic like that, what would be the point even if he managed to escape with Mo Wuji eventually?

The numbness could be felt and before Tian Nu entered the state of daze, he could feel a spiritual will extending towards him. Following which, a mighty elemental energy swept all the toxic away from his mind without leaving a single bit behind.

An indescribable happiness overwhelmed his heart as he knew that this must be Big Brother Mo's help. Just when his consciousness was about to be erased, Mo Wuji silently helped him removed the toxic. Just how terrifyingly strong was Mo Wuji? In fact, Mo Wuji's character made him even more thankful and excited.

After all, Mo Wuji's act of helping him at a moment like this would land himself in great danger. Moreover, Mo Wuji had no need to help him now.

Tian Nu was certain that this wasn't the time to be grateful as his face turned numbed and dazed.

Mo Wuji was also like Tian Nu as his face appeared numbed and dazed.

The bald headed man saw everyone standing in front of him turn dazed so he nodded satisfyingly, "I am about to tell you two things now. Firstly, put on this gloves."

As he spoke, a pair of gloves was floating in front of everyone here. Mo Wuji, like everyone else, put on the gloves that were suspending in front of him.

The instance he held the gloves, Mo Wuji knew that this was a pair of gloves with transfer array carved on it. It seemed like Tian Nu's guess was not wrong.

"Secondly, everyone please follow me." The bald headed man said as he led the way.

Mo Wuji was in the middle of the group of people with his dazed eyes. He didn't use his spiritual will or his spirit storage channel but he could see that this was indeed a desolate place.

Moreover, Mo Wuji noticed that there were already hundreds of people gathered here. These people were just like them as all of their eyes were dazed and numbed too.

Very soon, Mo Wuji understood what was happening. Those people who captured them here were not after god lattice and instead, they brought them here to sell. The hundreds of people here were evidently brought here by the various groups of 'kidnappers'.

A green robed man appeared in front of Mo Wuji and co. as he scanned through their bodies. With a stern tone, he said, "I have an opportunity for everyone now. Everyone is to walk inside and remember to keep walking forward. If you find anything along the way, remember to grab onto them with force."

Once he said that, the green robe man took out an edgy shaped crystal. Mo Wuji looked dazedly at this particular white crystal.

After everyone looked through it, the green robe man said, "This crystal could be multi-coloured too. Whichever colour you see, you have to grab hard and this will be your opportunity at life. Understand?"

"Yes," A jagged reply was heard and every voice seemed to have a preset order to it.

"Alright, you can head in now." The green robe man waved his hand as he pointed to a curved dirt road.

The hundreds of people followed the path into the curved dirt road and not one of them had any opinions.

At this moment, Mo Wuji could feel that his surrounding let out an explosion. Following that, Mo Wuji heard as though something was broken and everything in front of him cleared up.

Previously, this place was protected by a defensive array. This was Mo Wuji's first reaction when the explosion was heard.

"Ying Congchang, your Black Mustard God Merchant House actually installed a concealed grand array at a remote corner of the God Burial Valley and commit such outrageous act? Even the entire God World will never forgive a scum like you…" An enraged voice was heard and a piercing blade radiance, which even Mo Wuji could feel, landed.

Chapter 883: Completely Reliant On Acting

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Killing intent shrouded the entire area and Mo Wuji certainly didn’t think that would still be a person with justice in the God World.

Mo Wuji knew that no one would bother about them at this moment in time so he transmitted a message to Tian Nu, "Remember to avoid killing intent."

"I get it, many thanks Big Brother." Tian Nu transmitted the message back with emotions. He didn’t expect the big brother he met would be so heaven defying that he could even detoxify poison which could blacken the nervous system. Not only that, Mo Wuji even helped him detoxify the poison in him unknowingly.

The elemental energy continued to explode in space and random cultivators were constantly being killed.

Even in the periphery of the battle, Mo Wuji felt that breathing had became difficult.

This made Mo Wuji realised how truly weak he was in this great big world.

"Dao Friend, it wouldn’t do you any good by killing me, Ying Congchang. Let me go and I could at least save these people…" A hoarse voice sounded out.

Mo Wuji heard the voice clearly and knew that it was that previous Zi Pao.

"Alright…" All Mo Wuji heard was an ‘alright’ and in the next moment, he heard Ying Congchang’s desperate cry, "Despicable…"

Mo Wuji knew that Ying Congchang had been killed. From the looks of it, the person who killed Ying Congchang didn’t really seem like he wanted to save them.

The surrounding quieten down and a clear voice could be heard, "All of you, turn around."

Including Mo Wuji, the hundreds of dazed looking people turned around to look at the person speaking. The person was a female with slightly yellow skin. Additionally, her hair was evidently yellow too and her eyes were rather big. She wasn’t considered ugly but wasn’t particularly pretty too. If her skin was slightly fairer, she could be described as delicate.

It was the two women standing on either side of her that made Mo Wuji sigh. These two women were the two people he had escaped from earlier on. Who would have expected that after all these drama, he would still be captured by these two women.

Standing behind the yellow hair woman was an old lady. This old lady might look old but one could still see her once delicate appearance. Killing intent were still exuding from her body and she still looked a little blood-thirsty. Evidently, she was the one who attacked and was probably their main force.

"Where is uncle?" The yellow hair woman scanned through the crowd and asked with a calm voice.

The tall woman hurried to bow as she replied, "Little miss, I followed them all the way because uncle was captured by them. This was also how I managed to leave traces behind. I didn’t expect uncle to be not around but that fella is here. That fella refused to listen to me and was indeed caught by these people."

Having said that, she pointed at Mo Wuji, who was standing amidst the crowd.

The yellow hair woman’s eyes fell on Mo Wuji before saying, "Aunt Jun, can this person be recovered?"

The old lady standing behind the yellow hair woman shook her head, "Little miss, this person had his spirit roots and primordial spirit blacken by the Black Transformation Pill. To make things worse, his nervous system had been destroyed by the Perplex Spiritual Pill. At the very most, I would be able to recover part of his consciousness, allow him to have simple interactions and do simple tasks. The others…"

The old lady didn’t continue on.

The yellow hair woman sighed, "Since he almost became my husband, I guess we have some affinity. Aunt Jun, go save him."

The old lady didn’t speak as she raised her hand and landed a pill accurately into Mo Wuji’s mouth.

Once the pill enter, it formed a icy cold stream which moisten Mo Wuji’s mind. Mo Wuji suspected if he had truly lost his consciousness from the Perplex Spiritual Pill. This pill might have helped him recover fully.

A while later, Mo Wuji revealed extra signs of life force in his eyes and even took a few steps forward to look around doubtfully.

"There is no need to look around anymore. My little miss had saved your life," The tall woman, who wanted to bring Mo Wuji away, spoke with a stern voice.

"Ah…" Mo Wuji stared at the tall woman and didn’t react for a while.

The yellow hair woman sighed before saying, "Bring him away and let him do some simple tasks in the farmstead."

"Yes," The old lady raised her hand and Mo Wuji could feel a mighty elemental energy sweeping towards him in an attempt to bring him away.

Tian Nu saw that Mo Wuji was brought away so he quickly darted out from the crowd of people as he escaped swiftly.

...

Two days later, the flying ship stopped on a massive station plaza. Mo Wuji followed the four women down and he saw four massive words: Shen Jiang Transfer Station.

The yellow hair woman kept the flying ship as she said, "Let’s head over to check out the Phecda God Sect. I’ve heard that they are recruiting disciples."Mo Wuji, who was standing by the side, was shocked because he didn’t know if Phecda is his Tian Ji [1]. He was extremely curious to know why the God Domain had this sect and that there was only an additional ‘God’ behind it.

"Little miss, we must not leave the Lightning Sword Manor at a moment like this because if we leave, the Lightning Sword Manor would no longer belong to the surname ‘Xi’." The tall woman said with a slightly anxious tone.

The yellow hair woman sighed, "What can I do? Now that they have brought out the teachings of the Xi Clan’s ancestors and we haven’t found an uncle to enter the Lightning Clan, we are basically not able to enter the ancestral hall."

The tall woman’s eyes landed back on Mo Wuji and Mo Wuji’s heart jumped. You can’t possibly want me to be your uncle right? I already have an incomplete consciousness and you still want me to be your uncle? Aren’t you setting the standards too low?

"Little miss, how are you going to obtain Old Lord’s legacy if you can’t enter the ancestral hall? This uncle issue is only a makeshift strategy and your agreement would also be part of the makeshift strategy. Once you’ve obtain Old Lord’s legacy, you would be able to create your own world and control the Lightning Sword Manor." The tall woman said energetically.

That short woman also agreed, "Little miss, Sister Qian Hua’s words are right. You’ve even saved Mo Wuji and if it wasn’t for you, Mo Wuji would have been dead. He would have helped you at a moment like this."

The truth was that both of them were certain Mo Wuji’s intelligence was not sufficient enough to fight back like before.

The yellow hair woman’s eyes lit up as she instantly looked back at Mo Wuji, "Qian Hua, you and Xun Ji are right. Mo Wuji, you shall be the uncle of my Xi Clan and rest assure that I wouldn’t ill-treat you. When I take control of the Lightning Sword Manor, I would find a way to help you recover your spirit roots."

To continue acting like a dazed person, Mo Wuji could only despise this woman in his heart. Mo Wuji exclaimed in his heart, how could you be bashful about this and didn’t even bother asking me before making the decision for me?

Fortunately, he heard that he only had to be their temporary uncle which was still acceptable by him.

The shorter woman sighed, "I’m only afraid that they find out that this uncle is fake and find other reasons to give us trouble."

The quiet old lady sneered, "Even if you find the real uncle back, they would still think its a fake. What’s important is for little miss to enter the ancestral hall and everything else is secondary."

The yellow hair woman nodded seriously, "Aunt Jun is right. Whether or not they know that the uncle I found is fake, they wouldn’t be able to stop me from entering my Xi Clan’s ancestral hall."

Once she said this, the yellow hair woman turned to Mo Wuji, "Mo Wuji, all you have to know is that I am your wife. There’s nothing else for you to know and also, my name is Xi Nianmo…"

Xi Nianmo didn’t look down on Mo Wuji and actually explained everything to Mo Wuji.

Half an incense later, Mo Wuji had a rough idea of everything that had happened.

Xi Nianmo came from the Lightning Sword Manor and the original owner of the Lightning Sword Manor was Xi Jing. Xi Nianmo never mentioned about Xi Jing’s cultivation level but Mo Wuji’s guess was that it wasn’t low.

Many years ago, Xi Jing did something extremely dangerous and never came back. The entire Lightning Sword Manor believed that he had fallen.

The temporary lord of the Lightning Sword Manor ended up to be Xi Jing’s only daughter, Xi Nianmo.

The Xi Clan’s legacy had always been kept in the Xi Clan’s ancestral hall. Logically speaking, Xi Nianmo was Xi Jing’s only daughter and inheriting the Lightning Sword Manor and entering the Xi Clan’s ancestral hall shouldn’t be a problem at all. However, there was indeed a problem.

The problem lies with the fact that Xi Jing once brought back a pregnant woman named Fan Lin. Fan Lin gave birth to a boy back when she was at the Lightning Sword Manor. The boy followed his mother’s surname and was called Fan Sui.

After Xi Jing had fallen suspiciously, Fan Lin actually stood out to say that Fan Sui was Xi Jing’s son and that Xi Jing didn’t mention it previously because of pride.

If she didn’t had the support of other people in the Lightning Sword Manor, Fan Lin would have been killed for saying such things. The key was that when Fan Lin mentioned about how Fan Sui was also Xi Jing’s son and could inherit the Lightning Sword Manor, half of the elder of the Lightning Sword Manor actually supported Fan Lin. They believed that according to the teachings of the ancestors, Xi Nianmo was not married so she shouldn’t inherit the legacy of the Lightning Sword Manor’s Xi Clan.

Once she reached this point, Mo Wuji understood the story. He was also helpless at how he came out quagmire just to enter another one.

"Mo Wuji, this matter had nothing to do with you initially. I know that you would probably only understand half of what I’ve said but just remember that I am your wife and you are the uncle of the Lightning Sword Manor." Xi Nianmo comforted Mo Wuji after reciting everything to Mo Wuji in simple terms.

"I get it," Mo Wuji replied in a low muffled voice because what else could he say now?

If he said that he was never poisoned, could he have left this place alone? That would probably be the way to death. He didn’t expect that after all these years of cultivation, he had to rely on his acting skills to survive.

[1]: Phecda in chinese would be Tian Ji as well. However, the ‘Ji’ in Phecda is a different character from the Tian Ji Sect that Mo Wuji was from.

Chapter 884: Clan Meeting

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

After coming down from the transfer array, Mo Wuji sat on another flying ship for over a month before it finally stopped.

As Mo Wuji walked down the flying ship, the first thing he saw was a verdant hillside. Incredibly dense elemental energy could be felt and Mo Wuji's entire body felt relaxed at the same moment. He guessed that this should be the god spiritual energy.

The god spiritual energy here was multiple folds denser than that of the Tao Tie Valley but what made Mo Wuji felt so comfortable was that the spiritual energy here didn't have as much impurities as those at the Tao Tie Valley. The clearness in the laws of Heaven and Earth made Mo Wuji can't wait to sit down immediately to undergo enlightenment.

Mo Wuji was certain that he could step into the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage if he started cultivating here.

This was only the periphery of the Lightning Sword Manor as Mo Wuji's spiritual will had already scanned further down the hillside where three gigantic words were displayed: Lightning Sword Manor.

A clear and wide bluestone path was inclined upwards as it stretched directly to the Lightning Sword Manor.

Xi Nianmo led the way while the old lady named Xi Jun followed closely beside her. The two women Qian Hua and Xun Ji followed behind her and Mo Wuji could only walk at the back.

After stepping onto the bluestone path towards the Lightning Sword Manor, Xi Nianmo walked for over ten steps before stopping and turning back intentionally towards Mo Wuji, "Husband, you should walk right next to me."

Mo Wuji could only answer with an 'en' as he walked right next to Xi Nianmo.

What made Mo Wuji suspicious was that Xi Nianmo was after all still the temporary Manor Lord but now that she had returned, nobody actually stood out to welcome her.

However, by looking at the expression of Aunt Jun, Xun Ji and Qian Hua, Mo Wuji knew that there was something unusual regarding this matter.

Only when Xi Nianmo arrived right outside the main entrance of the Lightning Sword Manor, the inner defensive array of the Lightning Sword Manor opened up.

Two green robed disciples stood at the entrance as they bowed, "Greetings, little miss."

"How daring! Don't you know how to address the Manor Lord properly?" Qian Hua shouted furiously.

"Qian Hua, having followed little miss out for a few days, your temper had indeed been affected. Why do I think that he wasn't wrong in addressing little miss? Little miss is after all only the temporary Manor Lord. Because little miss have yet to return after a few days, the replacement Manor Lord of the Lightning Sword Manor is Young Master Xi Sui…" A calm voice was heard and a middle age man wearing grey robe walked out from the side.

Xi Sui? Xi Nianmo hesitated for a while before coming back to her senses. Isn't Xi Sui the same person as Fan Sui? She had only been out for two months and a person, whose identity had yet to be confirmed, actually took over her position as the temporary Manor Lord and even changed his surname to 'Xi' so publicly.

"Xi Di, you're merely a manager so how dare you speak to little miss with such tone? Since you're courting death, I shall fulfill your wish…" Xi Jun, who was standing right next to Xi Nianmo, was enraged as she sent a palm flying towards the grey robe middle aged man.

Even though the wild elemental energy had been condensed into one palm, Mo Wuji could sense the killing intent from within. Mo Wuji thought in his heart: this old lady's temper is not a joke. One sentence which displeased her and she wants him dead. Mo Wuji sensed that this grey robe manager named Xi Di was much weaker than this old lady and the difference in strength wasn't one or two point only.

If this palm landed on him, Xi Di would probably not survive.

"Boom!" Xi Jun's palm exploded in mid-air and a terrifying waves of elemental energy exploded out.

Even though Mo Wuji subconsciously retreated immediately after Xi Jun acted, Mo Wuji was still sent flying after being struck by the remnants elemental waves of explosion.

Mo Wuji was merely hit by the waves of explosions but he saw Xi Jun spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Mo Wuji was shocked because he had witnessed Xi Jun's strength before when she killed off the Black Mustard God Merchant House so easily. An expert like this would actually spit out blood in a simple combat like this.

Mo Wuji had severely underestimated the power of the Lightning Sword Manor and was even more upset that he was dragged into a battle like this. This was never what he intended and if Xi Nianmo failed to regain the throne, he could very well perish together with her. How would he, a small fry, be able to protect his own life in a place like this?

A square face man appeared in front of everyone and evidently, he was the one who threw out the fist from far away to intercept Xi Jun's palm.

"Elder Baren, what is the meaning of this?" Xi Nianmo's face turned serious as she said angrily.

"Little miss, the manor must have the manor's rules. Manager Di didn't say anything wrong and Elder Jun wanted him dead. If a small matter like this would cost the life of a manager of our Lightning Sword Manor, my Lightning Sword Manor would decline very soon." The square face man said with a calm tone and was evidently not too bothered by Xi Nianmo.

Mo Wuji sighed in his heart because if he was Xi Nianmo, he really wouldn't come back to fight to be the Manor Lord. It was clear that in this manor, her speaking right had been severely restrained.

Xi Nianmo took in a breath of air before saying with a calm tone, "Aunt Jun was slightly rash in this matter so we shall forget about it now."

"Since little miss says to forget about it, we would naturally forget about it." The square face elder said.

Mo Wuji despised this fella because he was even better at acting than himself. Mo Wuji really wanted Xi Nianmo to bite back to say that she wanted Xi Di dead to see how this square face elder would react.

Xi Nianmo controlled her rage as she said once more, "I have yet to return so why did you give away my position as the temporary Manor Lord?"

Hearing Xi Nianmo's words, the square face elder reverted back to his serious face as he said, "Little miss isn't wrong and I was initially against the idea of taking away little miss' position as the temporary manor lord. However, i am unable to further rebut their argument that according to the rules of the Lightning Sword Manor, the Manor Lord must be fully grown to take up this responsibility. Their definition of fully grown would be to get married. Little miss wasn't married…"

Xi Nianmo waved her hand and interrupted the square face elder's words as she pointed at Mo Wuji concurrently.

Mo Wuji was helpless as he could only walk to the side of Xi Nianmo. Xi Nianmo grabbed onto Mo Wuji's hand as she said, "Elder Baren, this is my husband, Mo Wuji. Wuji, this is one of the five great elders of my Lightning Sword Manor, Elder Xi Baren. Hurry up and greet him."

Mo Wuji looked dazedly at Xi Nianmo before sizing up Xi Baren and then saying with a confused voice, "Xi Baren?"

Having said that, Mo Wuji furrowed his brows as he wondered why this square face elder would be called Xi Baren.

Xi Nianmo hurried to explain to Xi Baren, "Elder Baren, Wuji was captured by the Black Mustard God Merchant House to look for god lattice crystals so he had been given the Perplex Spiritual Pill. This was why his answers to questions now are a little simplistic. I hope that Elder wouldn't mind this."

Xi Baren smiled, "Little miss is too serious about this. Since he is the uncle of my Lightning Sword Manor, we will do our very best to save him."

Mo Wuji had experienced too many incidents over the years and he wasn't those type who only knew how to cultivate behind closed doors. From Xi Baren's casual words, Mo Wuji knew that he had already done his investigation on everyone here. He should know about his origins and where Xi Nianmo came from.

Mo Wuji wasn't wrong because Xi Baren had indeed checked on where Xi Nianmo had been to.

As for the filthy acts of the Black Mustard God Merchant House, too many people were aware of it. However, not everyone was as forthright as Xi Nianmo to eliminate the entire Black Mustard God Merchant House. Firstly, too many people have done such things and secondly, the implications to future benefits would be too severe.

On the surface, Xi Nianmo killed the Black Mustard God Merchant House but unknowingly, she had offended many other people.

After Xi Baren's casual sentence, he changed the topic of conversation immediately, "Little miss, since you're back at the manor, why don't we organise a clan meeting three days later to reach an agreement on the matter of the manor lord position?"

Xi Nianmo replied faintly, "Why should we wait for three days later? Let's go and discuss matters right now at the clan's meeting hall."

"Alright, I shall go arrange matters now," Xi Baren replied promptly as he turned to Manager Xi Di behind him, "Xi Di, go inform all the elders and direct disciples to head towards the clan's meeting hall now."

"Roger that," Xi Di bowed in respect, took a few steps back before turning away. As compared to Xi Nianmo, Xi Di's attitude towards Elder Baren was much better.

"I shall go prepare some matters too," After Xi Di left, Xi Baren mentioned this and before Xi Nianmo could say anything, he had already left.

"Little miss, I'm afraid that in the few days we're not around, the Lightning Sword Manor already had major changes to it," Xi Jun said worryingly after the two of them left speedily.

Xi Nianmo said calmly, "No matter how great the change is, the Manor Lord token is in my hands. Without my token, nobody would be able to enter the Xi Clan's ancestral hall. Wuji…"

"I am here," Mo Wuji looked dazedly at Xi Nianmo as if he couldn't understand why he was here and why Xi Nianmo would call out for him.

Xi Nianmo looked at Mo Wuji before saying one word at a time, "After reaching the clan's meeting hall, you shall not speak at all. If anyone asked you anything, all you need to say is that you are my husband and that you have no idea about anything else."

"Oh," Mo Wuji answered as he didn't continue saying anything.

…

The Lightning Sword Manor's clan meeting hall was not big and it looked just like an assembly hall. The furnitures and decorations here were extremely simplistic with only a few stone pillars and tables.

The clan meeting hall had a massive pond in the middle which Mo Wuji couldn't wrap his head around. Mo Wuji didn't have spirit roots so he wasn't personally experienced in terms of the metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning and ice attributes of spirit roots. However, because he had cultivated lightning attribute sacred art before, he could sense that the pond in the hall was a lightning pond because of the great lightning energy from within it.

Only Xi Jun and Mo Wuji followed Xi Nianmo into the meeting hall because Xi Jun was the elder of the Lightning Sword Manor, she was qualified to enter. Mo Wuji was Xi Nianmo's husband so he would naturally be able to enter. As for Qian Hua and Xun Ji, they could only wait outside.

Xi Nianmo didn't stand on any ceremony as she went directly to the head seat. Xi Jun sat on her right while Mo Wuji sat on her left.

After the three of them settled down, people started streaming into the hall. Even though Mo Wuji had a low cultivation level and was acting dumb, he could tell that every single one who entered were not of low cultivation and everyone was much stronger than himself.

In less than half an incense worth of time, the average sized clan meeting hall was filled up.

"Little miss, we have yet to decide on the eventual manor lord so shouldn't that seat be left empty first?" After everyone was seated, someone stood up to comment.

The one speaking was a beardless elder and what he meant to say was that Xi Nianmo shouldn't be sitting on that seat for now.

Chapter 885: You Shall Be The Last To Die

Xi Nianmo stood up as she took out a green token to slap it on the stone table in front of her, "This is the Lightning Sword Manor Lord’s token left behind by my father. Could it be that even this token is not allowed to sit here?"

Without waiting for the beardless elder to speak, a youthful looking middle aged man stood up. "Nianmo, that seat is yours so there is no harm in you sitting on it."

Xi Nianmo heard this sentence and instantly bowed towards this middle aged man with slightly reddish eyes as she sat back down.

The beardless elder no longer had any objections when he heard the words of the middle aged man.

Mo Wuji sighed in his heart at how difficult this must have been for Xi Nianmo. There was finally someone willing to speak out for her. Moreover, this middle aged man didn’t seem to be any weaker than Xi Baren.

Xi Baren stood up and said with a clear and concise voice, "A few months ago, little miss Nianmo left the Lightning Sword Manor and the manor had no manor lord in charge for that period of time. That was the reason why we chose Xi Sui to be our temporary Manor Lord…"

The middle aged man, who spoke for Xi Nianmo earlier on, replied, "Elder Baren, Xi Sui is merely chosen to deal with the few guests in the Lightning Sword Manor for that period of time. He shouldn’t be considered as a temporary manor lord."

Xi Baren chuckled, "It is no longer important if he could be considered a temporary manor lord or not. Now that little miss has returned, we should elect our new manor lord. Back then when Old Manor Lord left the Lightning Sword Manor, he didn’t indicate his preference on who should be the next manor lord. Fortunately for us, even though Old Manor Lord didn’t return, he left behind two blood related descendant. Nianmo and Xi Sui…"

"Elder Baren, my father would return sooner or later. You shouldn’t be spouting nonsense about some things." Xi Nianmo’s slightly icy tone interjected Xi Baren’s words.

"Fellow elders, little miss Nianmo should be the next manor lord. I’ve let down Sui’Er’s father, I…" A weak sounding female voice was heard and before she could even finish her sentence, she started sobbing in front of everyone.

Mo Wuji saw the woman speaking and was praising this woman’s beauty in his heart. Not only did she possess an exceptionally gorgeous face, she even had an extremely tender looking skin.

Beside this woman was a man and another woman. The man looked young and ugly with a thin and gloomy eyes. The woman had her head lowered and appeared to be pregnant.

"Sister-in-law, you wouldn’t need to care about this matter anymore. Regardless, the fact that you could raise young master into an adult in silence was already something difficult." The previous beardless elder sighed as he comforted the sobbing woman.

Xi Nianmo was so furious that she started trembling slightly. She knew that this woman had absolutely no relations with her father but she was unable to prove it.

Xi Jun, who was seated beside Xi Nianmo, said lividly, "A b*stard like him is also worthy to be the Lightning Sword Manor Lord?"

"Who are you calling a b*stard?" The thin eyes youth suddenly stood up in fury.

Xi Baren said with a stern face, "Elder Jun, Young Master Sui had been through the Xi Clan’s blood test about a month ago. Results proved that he was indeed Old Manor Lord’s son. Even though both female and male are qualified to be the manor lord of our Lightning Sword Manor, everyone knows that Xi Sui is slightly more apt for the position. I would also prefer Nianmo to be the manor lord but I cannot lie that Xi Sui would be more suitable."

Mo Wuji looked blankly at Xi Baren and instantly concluded that it must take some skills to be as horrible a human as Xi Baren was.

"Aunt Jun, there’s no need to say anything else. Since this is the case, let’s carry on with the selection of the Manor Lord." Xi Nianmo said with a calm tone but her heart was trembling in fear.

This was because she knew that Fan Sui never had her father’s blood but Xi Baren actually said that he was also a blood descendant of the Xi Clan. Even so, Elder Xi Yibo didn’t actually step out to object. This proved that Xi Baren’s test was actually true.

"Nianmo, the Manor Lord of the Lightning Sword Manor has to be…"

Before Xi Baren could continue, Xi Nianmo raised Mo Wuji’s hand as she said, "Let me introduce him to everyone. This is my husband, Mo Wuji, and he would be a member of my Lightning Sword Manor in the future. Because of some reasons, his brain suffered a shock but he is as interested as me in the affairs and well-being of the Lightning Sword Manor."

"Nianmo…" Hearing that Xi Nianmo actually called Mo Wuji out to be her husband, the youthful looking middle age man with thin eyes could no longer contain his anger anymore.

The beardless elder stood up once again, "Nianmo, we can understand your frustrations. You should know that to enter the clan’s meeting hall, one had to bear the rinsing of the clan’s meeting hall lightning pond right? Otherwise, even a blood descendant wouldn’t be qualified to enter this place."

"Elder Xi Ti, what do you mean by this?" Xi Nianmo’s face started turning pale. Without mentioning the fact that Mo Wuji had his spiritual roots blackened, he shouldn’t be rinsing himself in the lightning pond even if his spiritual roots were not blackened.

So this person was called Xi Ti. Mo Wuji was certain that this beardless elder was working for Fan Sui. Only at this moment did Mo Wuji finally understood what was the purpose of this lightning pond.

"What I meant to say is that if one is unable to rinse himself in this lightning pond, he wouldn’t be qualified to be the uncle of my Lightning Sword Manor." Xi Ti said with a cold tone.

Mo Wuji had no idea how powerful this lightning pond was but he was certain that he would be able to bear with it. However, he would definitely not step out to say he could rinse himself there at a point like this.

"Big Brother Yibo, what are your takes on this?" Xi Jun saw that Xi Nianmo was speechless so her eyes landed back on that youthful looking elder.

Xi Yibo said slowly, "Everyone here are members of the Lightning Sword Manor and a few months ago, Xi Sui’s wife was also unable to rinse herself in this lightning pond. Only after she cultivated our Lightning Sword Manor’s cultivation technique, she managed to rinse herself there. Why don’t we let uncle cultivate here in the Lightning Sword Manor for a few months before putting him through the test."

"I agree." Xi Baren said immediately.

Even the beardless elder, who had been going against Xi Nianmo, nodded as he said, "I agree too. After all, Xi Nianmo is also the daughter of the Manor Lord and should be treated equally."

Xi Nianmo’s face turned increasingly pale but she didn’t blame Xi Yibo. Mo Wuji had his spiritual roots destroyed and primordial spirit dissipated and while Xi Baren knew about it, Xi Yibo should be completely unaware of this. If Xi Yino knew about it, he wouldn’t have suggested an idea like this.

Xi Yibo saw Xi Nianmo’s pale face and knew that he must have came up with a bad idea.

"Many thanks Uncle Yibo. Nianmo have decided to give up on the position of the Manor Lord and leave the Lightning Sword Manor." Xi Nianmo stood up and said this.

She initially thought that once she have a husband, there wouldn’t be a problem but things didn’t turn out as what she expected.

Mo Wiji hurried to stand up as well because he really couldn’t wait to leave this place too.

"Little miss, the Lightning Sword Manor is your home and we really don’t wish to see you leave. Moreover, the God Domain is huge so where will you find…" Xi Ti’s voice brought along a trace of sadness.

"Many thanks for your concern but you don’t have to worry about where I’m going to," Before Xi Ti could finish, Xi Nianmo interrupted.

Xi Baren sighed and said, "Every one of us wouldn’t wish to see little miss leave but if little miss insists, that would be her own freedom. The Old Manor Lord’s Lightning Sword Token is the symbol of our Lightning Sword Manor so little miss must not bring that away."

"This is an item left behind by my father and I refused to give it to anyone." Xi Niao said with a slightly pale face and her hand was trembling in fear.

"You are wrong. That is not left behind for you but for the Lightning Sword Manor." Yet another elder stood up to comment.

"That’s right, the Lightning Sword Token is definitely not your personal item." Within the clan meeting hall, many disciples started to add in their opinions.

While Xi Nianmo was still enraged over the Lightning Sword Token, Mo Wuji started to worry. He sensed danger and that if he followed Xi Nianmo out of here, he could very well be killed along with her.

"All of you are wrong. Let me tell everyone that the Lightning Sword Token is left specifically for Mo’Er." A hoarse voice with a trace of coldness could be heard throughout the hall and a brown robed man walked in.

"Manor Lord?"

"Big Brother…"

A brown robe man walked in and everyone in the clan meeting hall was dumbfounded. Thereafter, everyone stood up in shock.

"Father…" Xi Nianmo dashed out crying as she threw herself at the brown robe man’s arms.

Mo Wuji didn’t expect that Xi Nianmo’s father Xi Jing would actually appear at a time like this. Regardless, he had made it out of one danger.

"Manor Lord, without you in the Lightning Sword Manor, we were like headless chickens," Xi Ti said with a ‘surprised’ expression but his body movement showed that he was fearful.

"Is that so? But it seemed like you’re chasing my daughter away…" Xi Jing’s words brought along icy cold energy and once she said that, his hand had already moved. Elder Xi Ti, who was constantly pressing Xi Nianmo earlier on, was smacked into a mist of blood without any strength to fight back.

Mo Wuji’s heart jumped because the difference in strength was simply horrifying. The Manor Lord of the Lightning Sword Manor was simply outrageously powerful.

"Manor Lord, Xi Ti…" Xi Baren only said this four words and Xi Jing sent another slap.

Xi Baren also had no means of defending himself as he was instantly turned into another mist of blood. Xi Jing continued to say, "Am I deaf? Could I have not heard how you treated my daughter?"

After killing two elders, Xi Jing stared coldly at Fan Lin, "Fan Lin, I rescued you many years ago but since when did your son turn into my son? Not only that, you actually tried to chase my daughter out of the Lightning Sword Manor?"

Fan Lin’s face turned pale as she said with a trembling voice, "Xi Jing, you swore that you would not hurt me and my son. You promised and are you going to go back on your promise?"

Xi Jing’s became even more serious and after keeping silent for a while, he said furiously, "Leave and never let me see the two of you ever again."

Fan Lin grabbed the trembling Fan Sui as they hurried out. As for that pregnant woman, both of them didn’t even look back at her.

Xi Jing’s killings didn’t stop and everytime he struck out a hand signal, a mist of blood would appear soon after. Everyone in the hall was stunned and no one had any means of defending against it.

When the hall was left with half the number of people from the start, Xi Jing stopped his killing as he looked at Mo Wuji, "You are quite daring to actually pretend to be the uncle of my Lightning Sword Manor. You shall be the last to die…"

Before finishing his sentence, a slap was sent towards Mo Wuji.

Chapter 886: The Change In The Manor

Xi Nianmo never expected that her father would even want to kill Mo Wuji so she stretched out her arm frantically to grab Mo Wuji. Xi Jing only needed a casual slap to kill Mo Wuji so now that his daughter had intervene, he had moderated the amount of energy in his slap.

"Boom!" The oppressive elemental energy from the hand whizzed past Mo Wuji’s body and instantly destroyed the stone pillar behind Mo Wuji into pieces. Despite Xi Nianmo’s last minute effort to grab him, Mo Wuji was still caught up by the aftermath of the attack as he spat out a mouthful of blood. When compared to Xi Jing, Mo Wuji couldn’t even be considered an ant.

Mo Wuji was enraged and disappointed. Despite knowing that Xi Jing was going to attack him, he was completely unable to avoid it. If it wasn’t for Xi Nianmo’s intervention, he would have been smashed into pieces already.

"Father, please do not kill Mo Wuji for he is innocent. In fact, he had even helped me by coming to the Lightning Sword Manor. If you kill Mo Wuji, I would forever not be at peace and it will definitely harm my dao heart…" Xi Nianmo didn’t wait for Xi Jing to act gain as she hurried to explain everything briefly.

Xi Jing sized Mo Wuji up before saying, "Since this is the case, Yibo, bring Mo Wuji into one of the immortal residence for closed door cultivation for a period of time to make up for his contributions."

Once Xi Jing said that, he threw a token to Xi Yibo.

Concurrently, Xi Yibo heard Xi Jing’s transmitted message to him, "Bring Mo Wuji to the place I cultivated and kill him there. Seal up that place and never let Mo’Er find out about this. Also, we are going to leave the Lightning Sword Manor very soon and this place would cease to exist in the future."

"Yes," The youthful looking Xi Yibo stood up promptly as he grabbed Mo Wuji and left the clan meeting hall speedily.

"Father, his primordial and spiritual roots have been blackened so he wouldn’t be able to cultivate at all…" As Xi Yibo brought Mo Wuji out, Xi Nianmo finally responded as she exclaimed.

Xi Jing sighed, "I have very dense god spiritual energy as well as peak grade god spirit pills and my legacy in my cultivation lab. By leaving him there, it would depend on his fate to see if he could recover and cultivate well."

"But…"

When Xi Nianmo tried to continue, Xi Jing waved his hand to stop her. Following which, Xi Jing said to the rest of the people in the clan meeting hall, "In less than half an incense worth of time that I’ve been back, I’ve heard things that I didn’t wish to hear. There’s a saying that goes: Those who are not from the clan will always have ulterior motive. Xi Baren, Xi Ti, Xi Zhen and co. were all brought back by myself many years ago and had conferred to the surname ‘Xi’. After my disappearance, all of them suddenly jumped up to take charge. Fortunately, everyone seated here are direct descendants and disciples of my Xi Clan."

Everyone in the clan meeting hall remained speechless. Back then, their Manor Lord was already boundlessly strong. After all these years, it seemed like his strength had increased to yet another level. As for those who were killed, they were indeed not from the Xi Clan.

Xi Jing’s tone turned solemn, "If possible, I wouldn’t have wish to come back to the Lightning Sword Manor. However, I had to come back because if I don’t, nobody here would survive. I still have my Lightning Sword Manor’s legacy, clan mates and family here which I refused to abandon…"

Small discussions started within the crowd and Xi Jing waved his hand once more to indicate for everyone to listen, "I am the one responsible for inciting the extermination of our sect which is why all of us must leave the Lightning Sword Manor now. There are too many people here but I wish that after we leave this place, everyone can go on their separate ways to find a sect suitable for yourself. No matter what happened in the future, everyone must remember that your surname is Xi and you came from the Lightning Sword Manor. One day, my Lightning Sword Manor would rise again…"

"Father…" Xi Nianmo was invariably stunned when she heard the words of her father. If no one would survive here and that he wanted to bring everyone away, why did he send Mo Wuji to cultivate in his lab?

"Boom!" Just as Xi Nianmo called out for her father, the entire Lightning Sword Manor seemed to have been struck by massive hammer. The trembles felt was incredibly intense.

Xi Jing’s expression changed because he didn’t expect these people to arrive so quickly. He initially believed that he had at least half a day more to bring everyone from the Lightning Sword Manor away.

At a moment like this, there was nothing he could do as he said anxiously, "Xi Jun, bring everyone to the various defensive array to protect the Lightning Sword Manor. I will reinforce and strengthen the defensive array…"

...

Xi Yibo was a strong expert himself and after grabbing Mo Wuji, he flew past tens of places before heading downwards.

In less than half an incense, Xi Yibo stopped as he struck out a hand sign with the token in space. Soon after, a traceless big gate opened gradually.

Xi Yibo grabbed a pill as he sent it down Mo Wuji’s mouth, "Ai, because of the fact that you’ve helped little miss, let me give you a piece of advice. In your next life, pray for better fortune. This was where Manor Lord underwent his secluded cultivation and evidently, it has dense god spiritual energy. It isn’t bad that this will be where you have your long sleep. Consider this a compensation because you helped little miss."

After saying that, Xi Yibo immediately threw Mo Wuji into the gate and left in a hurry.

The door gradually closed and there was no longer any traces of it on the outside.

Mo Wuji fell to the ground but didn’t move. The pill that Xi Yibo gave Mo Wuji was clearly an extremely poisonous pill. The instance the pill entered his mouth, the toxic was instantly felt by the detoxification meridian and swept away in that same instance.

Mo Wuji wasn’t concerned about the toxic but was concerned about whether he could get out of this place or not.

Mo Wuji used the spiritual will of his spirit storage channel to scan the outside and he was able to see where he was. He was in a sealed up space. The god spiritual energy was incredibly dense and there was absolutely nothing in the room.

As he sensed that he was not in any danger, Mo Wuji immediately stood up to check for any possible exit.

Regardless of how many times Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to check, he wasn’t able to find any exit. This defensive array seemed to be sealed up naturally. Similarly, Mo Wuji didn’t find any monitor array around as he instantly grabbed out array flags to install a concealment restriction and a concealed spirit array.

Regardless if there were still monitor arrays which he didn’t manage to spot, Mo Wuji couldn’t care less anymore. The fact that he didn’t die after being fed the poison already revealed a major problem. There was no longer any point in concealing anything anymore. What was important was that he should make use of the time to cultivate.

This was the first time Mo Wuji cultivate in a place where the laws were complete and the god spiritual energy was so dense. When he used all his force to circulate the Immortal Mortal Technique to absorb the god spiritual energy, his entire body felt like it was immersed in the laws of Heaven and Earth. The god spiritual energy was swept away intensely by Mo Wuji’s spiritual circulation and Mo Wuji’s cultivation rose incredibly.

Additionally, the laws of his sacred arts were constantly being perfected.

Initially, Mo Wuji intended to think of a way and leave in another two days. Now that he was completely engrossed in his cultivation, he had forgotten that he should leave this place.

…

Mo Wuji had no idea that when he was absorbing the god spiritual energy crazily and increasing his own cultivation level, the Lightning Sword Manor had been blast countless times over. If it wasn’t for Xi Jing’s frightening strength and expertise in array dao, the Lightning Sword Manor would have been utterly destroyed.

Even so, the entire Lightning Sword Manor was trembling because of the explosions.

"Kacha!" After over 20 days, the Lightning Sword Manor was no longer able to hang on as the array was directly crushed.

Just when the array was broken, a dark radiance was shot from outside as it skidded through the air and pierced right through Xi Jing’s chest. Tens of shadows charged in and those disciples not previously killed by Xi Jing had all turned into mists of blood.

"Xi Jun, bring Mo’Er away immediately… Mo’Rr, never think about avenging me in the future. Always remember that…" Xi Jing said that and instantly dashed into the incoming crowd.

...

"Boom!" Mo Wuji felt as though his entire body exploded from within as an incomparable energy flooded his body.

Advanced Immortal Emperor Stage, Mo Wuji was so elated he only wanted to shout his lungs out. If he was in the Immortal World, he would probably rely on the accumulation of years to cultivate to the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage. Here, he only used one month and managed to reach it.

What Mo Wuji was even more ecstatic about was that his immortal energy had turned into god energy. Despite not seeing what a true god crystal was, Mo Wuji guessed that the green crystals he obtained previously were slabs of the god crystals.

Because those green crystals didn’t have complete laws within them, those were unable to help Mo Wuji transform all his elemental energy into god energy. This was the God Domain where the Laws of Heaven and Earth were completed which was why he could easily transform it into god energy. Simultaneously, he had a deeper enlightenment for the laws of his sacred art.

Mo Wuji had been in the same place for over a month and nobody came to visit him. This made Mo Wuji wonder if he had been forgotten. Regardless the case, he needed to leave this place as soon as possible.

Even though it seemed like Mo Wuji only made a small improvement by entering the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage, Mo Wuji felt like he had taken a huge step forward. The main reason was because he managed to transform all his elemental energy into the mightier god energy.

Mo Wuji used his spiritual will from his spirit storage channel to scan the outside as he started deducing the defensive array around this area.

Mo Wuji’s array dao had already surpassed the standard of a Grade 9 array master. As for the defensive array he installed for Ping Fan, it should be considered as a Grade 1 god array. Mo Wuji felt that there was no need for him to break this array apart as he only needed to find one exit. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t pose much of a problem.

Instead, Mo Wuji was stressed about the fact that even after deducing and studying it for five days, he wasn’t even able to understand the array let alone find any exit.

A few more days passed and just as Mo Wuji was wondering if he should continue doing so, the defensive atray suddenly opened without warning. Mo Wiji knew that no matter who or what opened it, it was his only chance of escaping. If he was brought to Xi Jing, he would definitely not survive.

At the very moment the defensive array opened, Mo Wuji dashed out and was prepared to shift away.

However, when Mo Wuji saw the woman lying outside the defensive array, he stopped. This woman was actually the pregnant woman back in the Lightning Sword Manor clan’s meeting hall. According to Mo Wuji’s deduction, she should be Fan Sui’s wife.

"You’ve saved me?" The reason why Mo Wuji stopped was because he saw this woman holding onto a token and this token was the one that opened this array.

Chapter 887: Extremely Smart Woman

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Ah…" When the woman saw that Mo Wuji actually walked out of Xi Jing’s secluded lab, she let out an ‘ah’ as if she didn’t expect to see him.

Mo Wuji saw the woman’s shocked look and he knew that this woman didn’t come to save him intentionally. This woman looked much prettier than Xi Nianmo but because of her pregnancy and injury, her face actually looked pale and the energy exuding from her was in complete disorder.

"Regardless, many thanks." Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards this woman as he took a step out and extended his spiritual will.

Even if Xi Jing didn’t kill this woman, she shouldn’t have been allowed to enter this area? Since this woman was here, there must be something going on.

"Hold on…" This woman assumed that Mo Wuji was going to leave so she hurried to call out for him.

Even without the calling of this woman, Mo Wuji would have waited. His spiritual will sensed that the Lightning Sword Manor had already been turned into ruins and other than a few corpses lying around, this place looked like it had just experienced a massive earthquake.

The greenery on the outside of the Lightning Sword Manor had also turned into a piece of desolate land. Everything proved to show that the Lightning Sword Manor had just experienced a calamity.

"What happened to the Lightning Sword Manor?" Mo Wuji asked while staring at that woman.

This woman’s cultivation level should be higher than his but Mo Wuji wasn’t fearful.

"I thought you were…" After hearing that Mo Wuji’s words were all direct and straightforward coupled with Mo Wuji’s expression, she knew that Mo Wuji’s previous dazed look was an act.

Mo Wuji understood the woman’s surprise look as he said mindfully, "I am indeed not a complete idiot yet but my spirit channels and primordial spirit are truly gone."

"I understand now, you’re just like me. The difference is that I’ve been captured by the b*stard Fan Sui and his mother and was ultimately stained by him. I thought that Xi Jing would definitely kill you and I really didn’t expect him to not do so." This woman struggled to get on her feet.

Mo Wuji sighed in his heart but kept silent. This woman was simply too accurate in her guess because Xi Jing did order Xi Yibo to kill him. If it wasn’t for his detoxification meridian, he wouldn’t have survived till now. This woman should have accidentally obtained the token to open this array. She must have thought that there might be extremely good treasures or items in the place where Xi Jing cultivated which was why she came over in search for treasures after the incident at the Lightning Sword Manor.

"I managed to obtain Xi Yibo’s storage ring coincidentally so I came here in search of healing pills. I certainly didn’t expect to see that you’re fine." The woman appeared like she understood Mo Wuji’s thoughts as she explained herself.

She was indeed a smart woman and Mo Wuji really didn’t want to continue interacting with this woman. But because he was indeed rescued by this woman, he said, "Xi Yibo should have been worried that little miss would be upset so he let me live. I never thought that I would survive inside and I didn’t expect you would actually open up this place. You’ve technically saved my life but I’m going to leave now so do you need any help from me?"

"I’m severely injured so I simply came to see if there are any healing pills here at Xi Jing’s lab. It seems like there are none of it here," The woman saw that Mo Wuji was not holding on to any storage ring and when she opened the place, there was nothing inside. Evidently, there shouldn’t be anything in that lab.

Mo Wuji replied honestly, "Indeed, my storage ring had been snatched by others and there are nothing in here."

"Are you able to send me to the Nine Evolutions God Sect? I know I’m putting you in a difficult position but if I don’t go to the Nine Evolutions God Sect, I will definitely die. After being plotted against by Fan Sui and his b*tch mother, the day Fan Sui obtained the throne would be my doomsday. Who knew that Xi Jing actually returned and allowed me to break free from the mother and son," The woman’s tone brought along a trace of desire and expectation.

Even though Mo Wuji really wanted to help, he still shook his head and said, "You should know that I’m considerably weak so I would only be able to bring you out of the Lightning Sword Manor. As for the Nine Evolutions God Sect, I’ve never even heard of it let alone the experience to bring you there."

The woman could sense that Mo Wuji was willing to help but simply didn’t know the route so she hurried to say, "Senior Brother Mo, the Nine Evolutions God Sect could be considered a big sect in the God Domain. My master is the Mountain Lord of the Nine Evolutions God Sect so if you’re willing to bring me back, I’m confident I can let you join the Nine Evolutions God Sect.

"But I don’t even have any primordial spirit left ah," Mo Wuji asked questionably. Mo Wuji didn’t seem to understand her intentions.

The woman noticed that Mo Wuji didn’t seem to understand her intentions so she explained, "Senior Brother Mo, it would be very dangerous for you to remain alone in the God Domain while your primordial spirit and spiritual roots are destroyed and that you can’t cultivate. I can guarantee your spot as an outer disciple of the Nine Evolutions God Sect. An outer disciple at my sect would already have a place to stay as well as some cultivation resources. Even if you could no longer cultivate, you could at least have a family and career and live a peaceful life there.

Of course, when we reached the sect, I suggest that you would pretend like how you did at the Lightning Sword Manor. Act dumb and dazed so nobody would treat you as an opponent and you wouldn’t offend anyone."

Mo Wuji’s was tempted because he was not familiar with the God Domain. If he could find a sect to cover and cultivate on his own, it might not be a bad thing. As for this woman’s shrewdness and cleverness, what has it got to do with him? Once he reached the sect, he would merely be an outer disciple and wouldn’t come in contact with her life anymore.

At the thought of this, Mo Wuji clasped his fists, "I agree but I’ve yet to ask for Senior Sister’s name. Senior Sister is far more powerful than me so please call me junior brother instead of senior brother."

The woman replied excitedly, "Alright, Junior Brother Mo. My name is Liu Ruting and my master, Xiang Weiyang, is the Mountain Lord of the Lilac Mountain of the Nine Evolutions God Sect. The Lightning Sword Manor’s Lord, Xi Jing, had offended a tremendously powerful enemy and about a month ago when Xi Jing sent you here, the enemies came chasing after him here. Besides Xi Nianmo, everyone in the entire Lightning Sword Manor should have perished."

"Xi Nianmo isn’t dead?" Mo Wuji was truthfully very thankful for Xi Nianmo.

Xi Nianmo brought him out of the Buried God Valley and even saved him from Xi Jing’s hands. Whether or not it was intentional, Mo Wuji would always remember these acts of hers.

"Yes, she’s here too. When I used the talisman my father gave to me to conceal myself, I saw Xi Jun using a similar treasure to conceal her energy…" Liu Ruting replied.

Mo Wuji said apologetically, "Senior Sister Liu, you should know that Xi Nianmo saved my life. Therefore, I hope that you would tell me if you know where she is. I really hope I can save her this time around."

Liu Ruting smiled, "Junior Brother Mo, I have already intended to rescue her from the onstart. Without her ring, we would really not be able to return to the Nine Evolutions God Sect."

Mo Wuji sighed in his heart because this woman really had everything planned out well. Mo Wuji really wondered how a scheming and smart woman like her would fall into the hands of Fan Sui and his mother. To think that she actually lost her virginity and became pregnant because of this too.

Xi Nianmo’s hiding spot wasn’t very far off Mo Wuji’s position and with Liu Ruting leading the way, Mo Wuji quickly found a spot beside a broken stone tablet.

"Right inside this stone tablet," Liu Ruting pointed at the stone tablet as she said that. With her injuries, she even found it difficult to walk around so she would definitely not have the capability to open the stone tablet.

Despite not being a cultivator of the God World, Mo Wuji wasn’t considered weak. After all, he was in the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage and in fact, an extraordinary advanced Immortal Emperor.

Under Liu Ruting’s guidance, Mo Wuji broke the stone tablet easily. Just like what Liu Ruting said, Xi Nianmo appeared in front of Mo Wuji with her eyes shut.

Xi Nianmo’s body was filled with blood and her energy was scattered.

Liu Ruting took the initiative to knead Xi Nianmo’s forehead and moments later, Xi Nianmo opened her eyes. When she saw Liu Ruting and Mo Wuji, she jumped up in joy.

Xi Nianmo appeared as though she suddenly recalled what happened as she asked frantically, "Where’s my father?"

Liu Ruting sighed, "Everyone in the entire Lightning Sword Manor and perished and only the three of us remain. I am from the Nine Evolutions God Sect and if Senior Sister Xi is willing to follow us, we can go to the Nine Evolutions God Sect together. I have no god crystal on me at all so I would need Senior Sister Xi to pay for the road funds first. When we reached the Nine Evolutions God Sect, I guarantee that Senior Sister Xi would be able to join the Nine Evolutions God Sect."

Xi Nianmo revealed a despair look but she didn’t cry or waste time spouting any nonsense. She simply stood up and bowed towards Liu Ruting, "I don’t even have a home now so it is my fortune that Senior Sister Liu is willing to take me with you. As for Senior Sister Liu calling me ‘Senior Sister’, I really don’t deserve it.

While she spoke, she had already prepared an empty storage ring to store all the god crystals inside for Liu Ruting.

After experiencing many things, Xi Nianmo had understood how to continue living. Moreover, before she lost her consciousness, she personally witnessed her father being struck several times.

Liu Ruting handed the storage ring back to Xi Nianmo, "Nianmo, you shall keep the storage ring to yourself. You only need to hand over the crystals when we are required to pay for the fees of the flying ship or transfer arrays."

"Alright," Xi Nianmo nodded as she kept the storage ring. From the start till the end, she didn’t question how Mo Wuji was able to survive or how he made it here. It could be because she knew that Mo Wuji was not mentally sound to answer her questions.

Chapter 888: You Are A Peak Grade Talent

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Ten days later, Mo Wuji realised how egotistical and laughable his decision to bring Liu Ruting back to the Nine Evolutions God Sect was. Within these ten days, the three of them would have to pay a large amount of god crystals everytime they took a transfer array. He personally witnessed how Xi Nianmo had to fork out piles and piles of god crystals.

If Liu Ruting didn’t make use of Xi Nianmo’s wealth, Mo Wuji would definitely not be able to bring her back to the Nine Evolutions God Sect.

While he moved from places to places, he noticed that whether it was at the transfer station or the great cities here, earning god crystals wasn’t an easy task.

Even a person who sets up a stall to sell god spiritual herbs to earn money for the use of the transfer arrays, would need years and years of saving up to do so. In this short period of time, he could forget about earning enough god crystals to bring Liu Ruting back. He would perhaps earn by selling his consciousness crystals but Mo Wuji knew that if he were to see consciousness crystals here, he might be attacked by those who yearn for the crystals.

This shouldn’t be considered as sending Liu Ruting back as this was basically taking advantage of both Liu Ruting and Xi Nianmo. It was as if Liu Ruting and Xi Nianmo were the ones bringing to the Nine Evolutions God Sect.

Mo Wuji had always wanted to ask Liu Ruting as to why she would want to bring him along. This was because there was really no need for her to bring him along as Xi Nianmo alone should be enough to send her back. Eventually, he couldn’t control his urge anymore. Firstly, he was supposed to be a dumb and dazed person in front of Xi Nianmo. Secondly, he believed that a thoughtful and scheming person like Liu Ruting wouldn’t have done meaningless things and help him unnecessarily.

Since she brought him along, she must be up to something.

A few more days had flown by and the increasingly pale faced Liu Ruting arrived at a massive plaze carved from entirely white jade alone.

Even though the plaza was incredibly huge, it was still crowded with people everywhere.

Mo Wuji noticed that everyone in the plaza seemed to be testing for something. Everyone were queuing up and there were more than one line of people queuing.

Liu Ruting shot out a flying sword and a few breaths later, a person landed right in front of the three of them.

"Senior Sister Ruting, what happened to you?" The young man in purple robe asked and one could tell that he was very good looking. His tone brought along a sincere worry.

Liu Ruting was breathless as she replied, "Junior Brother Xingteng, the two of them managed to send me back. Help me arrange a place inside the sect for them and preferably make them an outer disciple. There are some problems with my body so I shall go see master now…"

"Rest assure Senior Sister, I would definitely make the necessary arrangements," The purple robe man answered with a confident smile on his face.

"Many thanks Junior Brother Xingteng," Liu Ruting thanked him once more as she turned to Mo Wuji and Xi Nianmo, "Thank you for sending me back but I shall go and see my master first. I’ll be back to thank you properly."

After saying this, Liu Ruting hurried away and disappeared completely very soon later.

After Liu Ruting left, the smile on the purple robe man had disappeared as well. He nodded towards Mo Wuji and Xi Nianmo, "My name is Lu Xingteng and I’m full of admiration for my Senior Sister Liu. Any matters of my Senior Sister Liu would be a matter of mine. The two of you endured all sorts of hardship to bring my senior sister back so please let me know of any requests you have."

Mo Wuji started to have a bad sensing about this. Just earlier on, Liu Ruting already instructed Lu Xingteng to make both himself and Xi Nianmo an outer disciple. What was the meaning of Lu Xingteng’s words now?

Clearly, Xi Nianmo was able to spot something amiss but instead of asking directly, she pointed to the crowd in the middle of the plaza and said, "Senior Brother Lu, what are all these people gathered here for?"

Lu Xingteng said faintly, "A few big sects would be selecting and recruiting disciples over the next few days and everyone there are promising disciples. In fact, even my Nine Evolutions God Sect is here too. If the two of you came a few days earlier, I might be able to make the two of you an odd job disciple. Now that the sects are recruiting disciples, everybody on the namelist would be closely examined."

Mo Wuji’s heart sunk because now that he couldn’t even get an odd job disciple status, what was he even doing here?

At the same time, Mo Wuji understood that this was actually not where the Nine Evolutions God Sect was located at.

Xi Nianmo hurried to bow, "Senior Brother Lu, I’m fine with it and I shall try my luck later. However, my junior brother here was injured and is currently unable to speak properly. I wonder if Senior Brother Lu could help…"

Without waiting for Xi Nianmo to finish her sentence, Lu Xingteng replied, "It is definitely possible. The two of you just hang around here while I go and ask around. If I find something, I would come to meet the two of you as soon as possible."

Having said that, Lu Xingteng couldn’t even be bothered to clasp his fists as he simply turned and disappeared into the crowd of people.

Mo Wuji knew that this fella would definitely not head back anymore.

"Mo Wuji, this person didn’t even ask for what help I wanted with or any means of contacting him. I’m guessing that he wouldn’t be coming back at all. I’m prepared to go take a look at the sects here and see if I’m able to join any. You should follow beside me and if I manage to enter a sect, I’ll bring you along." Xi Nianmo exclaimed.

She even suspected that Liu Ruting never intended to help them and only deceived them into sending her back.

However, Mo Wuji didn’t feel that Liu Ruting didn’t want to help and his guess was that after seeing Liu Ruting with a baby in her stomach, Lu Xingteng had lost the previous respect he had for Liu Ruting.

Regardless, Mo Wuji didn’t wish to follow behind Xi Nianmo.

"I am your husband so how can I simply depend on you…" Because Mo Wuji didn’t wish to have any more relations with Xi Nianmo, he was hoping that they would part ways after Xi Nianmo heard what he said.

When Xi Nianmo heard that Mo Wuji was still mentioning about being her husband, she hurried to block Mo Wuji’s mouth with her hand, "Mo Wuji, stop spouting rubbish…"

The few men and women who walked past the two of them started chuckling to themselves.

After the few of them passed by, Xi Nianmo heaved a huge sigh of relief, "Mo Wuji, our previous relationship is fake. From now onwards, you’re Mo Wuji and I’m Xi Nianmo. We are no longer related, understand?"

Mo Wuji let out an ‘oh’ before repeating the phrase ‘we’re no longer related’ as he turned and left.

"Hold on…" Seeing that Mo Wuji didn’t actually rebut, Xi Nianmo heaved another sigh of relief but called out for the departing Mo Wuji.

"You still want me to be your husband?" Mo Wuji stopped and looked at Xi Nianmo with a doubtful face.

Xi Nianmo held onto her forehead speechlessly, "No, you should stick with me but you’re not my husband. Can you remember that?"

If Mo Wuji’s brain wasn’t damaged, she would have let Mo Wuji left alone a long time ago.

Mo Wuji was also feeling helpless because he could simply tell Liu Ruting that even though his primordial spirit and spiritual roots were destroyed, his consciousness and IQ were still there. However, Mo Wuji didn’t wish to tell her directly because Xi Nianmo knew that he had taken a Perplex Spiritual Pill. A person who was still conscious and not affected by the Perplex Spiritual Pill was definitely not normal.

Xi Nianmo might not harm him but Mo Wuji still felt the need to be cautious since they were not that familiar after all.

"By letting me stay by your side, that would make me your husband ah," Mo Wuji frowned and made Xi Nianmo’s words sound silly.

Xi Nianmo was utterly defeated by Mo Wuji but she couldn’t bear herself to blame Mo Wuji. Instead, she maintained silent.

"I shall head off first then," Mo Wuji chuckled as he turned and left without hesitation.

"Mo Wuji, this is for you then," Xi Nianmo didn’t wish to continue insisting that Mo Wuji stay beside her as she took out a storage ring. However, as she took out her storage ring, she thought about it for a moment before putting it back. This time around, she took out a storage bag for Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji knew that Xi Nianmo wasn’t being stingy but because she was worried that others might steal his items. In the God Domain, a person carrying a storage bag would simply mean that the person was from a poverty-stricken family. Nobody would bother robbing a person carrying a storage bag.

However, Mo Wuji didn’t mind as he took over the storage bag before leaving without even saying goodbye.

As she watched upon Mo Wuji’s backview enter the crowd of people, Xi Nianmo muttured to herself, "I hope that you would stay safe."

After that, she turned and left on her own. The entire Lightning Sword Manor was exterminated and everyone she was close to was killed in front of her. She was simply unable to forget any of this hatred within her.

Regardless of whatever reason, now that she was the only one left in the Xi Clan. She had to avenge her father, Aunt Jun, Yibo, Qianhua and co.

…

After Xi Nianmo left, Mo Wuji also squeezed into the crowd.

At least Lu Xingteng wasn’t lying about one matter and that was all the big sects were indeed recruiting disciples here.

A row of signboards recruiting disciples were displayed out as if it was a human talent market.

Forgotten Creek Dao School, Phecda God Sect, Godly Grain Valley, Moonlight God Sect, Refined Star God Sect, Heavenly Turbid God Sect...

All sorts of big sects could be found here and other than Phecda God Sect and Nine Evolutions God Sect, Mo Wuji hadn’t heard of any of the others. He could only judge which sect were the bigger sects by the popularity among the disciples here.

Mo Wuji looked through the sects seriously and for peak grade sects like the Phecda God Sect and Nine Evolutions God Sect, there were basically many people surrounding them. Their tests were clearly more stringent than the rest and only those who had reached a certain standard would be able to participate in the next round of tests.

This made Mo Wuji feel helpless and frustrated because he knew that if he were to go for the tests, he would be one of the weakest there. How was he supposed to test if he didn’t have primordial spirit or spiritual roots?

Mo Wuji wandered around for half a day and he spotted an extremely unique sect called the Heavenly Mortal Sect. This sect made Mo Wuji think about his own Ping Fan.

The Heavenly Mortal Sect didn’t appear to be a large sect and there were at most seven to eight people standing around it. In fact, Mo Wuji didn’t even see a single person signing up for it. The ones recruiting disciple was a man and a woman. While the man looked like an elder, who had one foot in his coffin, the woman looked incredibly young compared to him.

Mo Wuji hesitated for a while before walking over eventually. Before he even asked anything, that elder stared at Mo Wuji with wide opened eyes, "Your bones look incredible and should even be considered peak grade. The only weakness is that you lack a peak grade technique to temper and that your talent had been concealed so nobody could actually see it. Oh my, I cannot believe I, Wei Jie, actually managed to find a talent like you here. Are you willing to join my Heavenly Mortal Sect? I guarantee that you will be an inner disciple here with peak grade cultivation resources to work with."

The elder named Wei Jie started getting more and more excited as he spoke and eventually, he even grabbed onto Mo Wuji. His eyes were filled with desperate wish that Mo Wuji would join him.

Mo Wuji was shook because this elder was actually able to see that he was a peak grade talent even without any tests? Could his self-created Mortal Dao be discovered by this person? Wouldn’t this be simply too scary?
