Chapter 144: Little Chicken and Chu Xingzi (2/2)
Once he hit the Great Circle of Channel Opening Stage, and had no way to advance into the 10th level, then he would just continue training his spiritual will. That was why Mo Wuji took out both spirit stones and Spirit Strengthening Pills at the same time.
As Mo Wuji began cultivating, the spiritual energy in the surrounding air came flowing towards him non-stop. Dense spiritual energy swirled around his body continuously, and the True Yuan within him stirred, expelling all traces of coldness out.
The dense spiritual energy, coupled with the pile of spirit stones that he took out, made his cultivation improve by leaps and bounds. In only three days’ time, he had reached the Great Circle of Spirit Opening Stage Level 9. As expected, he could not advance to the 10th level.
Swallowing an Inedia Pill, Mo Wuji carried on with training his spiritual will the the Spirit Strengthening Pill. At this point, Mo Wuji knew having spiritual will was an advantage. If he did not have greater spiritual will than others, he would have been no different from other cultivators at Channel Opening Stage Level 9, much less able to come so far and obtain the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals.
Time gradually passed by as Mo Wuji cultivated. Initially, he was still worried that the stone door would get blasted open, but eventually he immersed himself in training his spiritual will. As for the stone door, this matter was thrown to the back of his mind.
An unknown amount of time later, he felt that his spiritual energy had reached another extreme, then burst open again, seemingly advancing to a new realm. Mo WUji then opened his eyes suddenly, sweeping his spiritual will out.
His spiritual will, many times stronger than before, instantly swept through every nook and cranny in the hall. A feeling of power overwhelmed him, making Mo Wuji restless for a Spirit Building Stage expert to test out his new strength and see exactly how much of a gap there was.
There was a certain level of confidence in his heart; now that he had such powerful spiritual will, he stood a fighting chance against cultivators in the initial Spirit Building Stage,.
”Ah!” Mo Wuji stood up with a loud yawn, but before he checked which pills were left, his spiritual will abruptly stopped.
He saw a patch of complex runes, which he thought he had seen before somewhere. Ah! The bracelet had some runes like this. Previously when he found out the bracelet could give directions, and used his spiritual will to take a peek in it, the runes found inside were rather similar to what was before him now.
These runes were very detailed, some even having explanations in words.
Retracting his spiritual will, Mo Wuji decided to check on the stone door, then take a look at the runes. There was no change with the door, meaning it had not been opened.
In his bottle of Inedia Pills, only five were left. One bottle held 18 pills, so taking into account that he consumed one pill every two days, Mo Wuji realised that he had stayed in there for almost a month. As for Spirit Strengthening Pills, he was almost out of them too. One pill remained out of two bottles of Spirit Strengthening Pills.
After keeping the pills and leftover spirit stones, Mo Wuji intentionally walked in front of the stone door to listen for any signs of people. Once he confirmed that there was no one attacking from the outside, he then turned around and head for the corner of the hall with the runes.
Walking closer, Mo Wuji could see them clearer with his spiritual will. This did not look like a stone wall, but instead a wall made out of some sort of metal. Countless words littered the wall, squeezed together. Not only were there words, but also various pictures and runes which took up a good half of the wall. [1]
He walked in front of the very start of everything on the wall, which clearly wrote, ”Little chicken, you want to use this ice hall to lock up your Grandpa Chu Xingzi? Have you eaten too much pig’s brain? Wait till the day that your Grandpa opens this shabby hall, then I’ll come to show you how your Grandpa goes about doing things…”
”...Little chicken, why don’t you learn something from that woman’s belly. Yes, you’ve trapped your grandpa for a day, but your grandpa wants to tell you little bastard one thing, that woman has been f*cked by me until she puked.”
Reading until this point, Mo Wuji had drawn an image of a man cursing furiously. One moment using ”your father”, and another ”your grandpa”, really reflected the immense rage that this guy called Chu Xingzi held in his heart.
Yet Mo Wuji was chuckling to himself. This Chu Xingzi really did not act like an expert. Aren’t all experts well mannered? He seems like a hooligan on the streets cursing another, without a care in the world.
”...Good, that woman has indeed passed you everything in her belly. Even though everything she has was given by grandpa, but grandpa is still very unhappy. Grandpa has actually be trapped for a month now…”
”B*tch, sl*t...Trash that your father f*cked until he threw away. So what if you’ve given everything that your father taught you to that little chicken? Trapping your father for 10 years? Are you really able to confine your father here for his whole life? Little chicken, you actually went to f*ck that b*tch just to learn your grandpa’s array dao? Kneel down and call me grandpa, then grandpa will personally give it all to you.”
”Good, you’ve called me well, grandpa will pass on his mantle of array dao to you, little chicken. This is at least ten thousand times stronger than anything that b*tch taught you…”
Mo Wuji’s heart sank. He could almost see Chu Xingzi cursing and swearing while he was trapped here. In the end giving in to despair. Reading the last line of words, it was apparent that Chu Xingzi had become deranged from the rage.
”Arrays are simple. Setting up an array is like making a cage. There’s living ones, dead one, and those neither living nor dead…Look at grandpa’s runes. This first rune is called the Array Initiating Rune, Only with the best Array Initiating Rune can one make the best array,,,”
As he carried on reading, he became more and more surprised. Chu Xingzi’s description of array dao was detailed yet easy to understand. There were no esoteric terms at all.
