Chapter 173: Sky Channel Flower (2/2)

Finally, the taller male cultivator suggested, ”How about we cut off part of it and hide the rest somewhere . After we found out what this truly is, if it is a good thing we could always come back again.”

This tall cultivator must be the most outspoken of the trio because the moment he suggested the idea, the remaining two agreed to his plan without any shred of hesitation.

As the trio wanted to cut a piece of the huge ore, they were met with difficulties because this ore could not be cut at all.

”Forget it, let’s just bury it here as we have to hurry to find the Dark Soul Crystal. For a few Heaven grade spirit stones, we have wasted about seven to eight days here. That kid had the map and booklet before us, he might have found it already,” the tall cultivator said as he clapped his hands to urge the others on.

The trio started work immediately as they decided to dig a gigantic hole beneath this spiritual ore to hide it. The trio had no idea that the item they were about to hide was worth multiple times more than the thing they were about to look for.

…

Mo Wuji naturally did not know of all these and even if he knew, he could not do anything about it. To be able to divert Honest Qi’s attention away from himself, it was already a huge success for him.

This was already the fourth day after Mo Wuji escaped the disgusting worms region as he stood outside a gorge filled with fog. There were still all sorts of broken buildings in the gorge which proved that it was previously habitable where people actually stayed in. Perhaps after experiencing countless years of drastic changes, these broken buildings became one with the scenery of the gorge. Mo Wuji could only vaguely tell from the shapes of these buildings that they were once constructed by human.

He took out his Tian Ji pole as he cautiously approached the gorge filled with fog. The map that was bought from Honest Qi did mentioned about a fog-filled gorge in this region too. The map even introduced this gorge’s origins as a place that came about only because of many years of disintegration of both the buildings and the chlorite. In actual fact, the description was quite accurate.

This proved that the general location of the treasures by Honest Qi were very accurate. Hence, since that booklet mentioned the location of a Sky Channel Flower, Mo Wuji could not be any more confident about finding one here. The only worry was that people might have come across here before him.

After all, there were endless number of cultivators who headed towards the Lost Sky Ruins year after year. Therefore, it would not be surprising even if someone had been here before.

Mo Wuji entered the gorge cautiously as this gorge was formed from the disintegrations of many antique buildings. Mo Wuji could even spot a chair looking statue. After half an incense worth of time, Mo Wuji stopped as he could no longer see anything.

His eyes felt uncomfortable as all he could see was fog.

Honest Qi was indeed right about the poison almost everywhere in the Lost Sky Ruins. Even this fog contained poison which made his eye unable to see anything at all.

Mo Wuji did not over-react when he found out about the poison in the fog. He casually took out and swallowed a few Poison Cleansing Pills before shutting his eyes.

If this fog contained poison, this would mean that normal cultivators would definitely not appear here. Even for a True Lake Stage cultivator, his spiritual will would merely be at the level of a magic treasure. Only a Nihility God Stage cultivator would be able to use their spiritual will like himself to scan through things in the surrounding.

Nihility God Stage cultivators’ spiritual will made use of spiritual life which made it much stronger than his own spiritual will. However, Mo Wuji did not bother about matching the power of his spiritual will with that of a Nihility God Stage cultivator as this was not what he longed for. All he wanted was that his spiritual will would be able to allow him to scan all four directions.

Perhaps because of the origins of the gorge, there was almost zero straight route of advancement forward and that there were at least seven or eight twisted paths.

A few hours passed and Mo Wuji still had not seen any sign of the Sky Channel Flower. The booklet only briefly introduced the Sky Channel Flower and the existence of it here but he had no idea where it was hidden.

Mo Wuji kept his patience as he continued searching. This was his one purpose when he came into the Lost Sky Ruins and even if he had to look for it for a year, he would continue searching for it.

A shadow suddenly appeared in front of Mo Wuji, frightening him. Fortunately, it only took Mo Wuji a while to realise that this was a statue formed after years of endless disintegrations just like everything else around the gorge.

Mo Wuji walked towards the shadow of this statue and watched it attentively only to realise that it was at least half a head taller than Mo Wuji with a ring on his hand. Mo Wuji was suspecting that the ring could be a storage ring.

However, this storage ring would be useless to him because both the human and the ring had already turned into stone.

Wrong! Mo Wuji suddenly thought of something as he hurried back to find a few pillar-like objects. Soon after, Mo Wuji realised that these were not pillars but humans turned into statues.

In other places, dead people would be disintegrated into ashes and as time passed, gradually disappeared from this world. People who died here were either turned into stone pillars or a full sized body shaped statue. The only possible cause for this would be the fog here.

Maybe it was a psychological effect that Mo Wuji suddenly felt pain all over his body.

The effects of the poison fog? Mo Wuji felt anxious and his first reaction would be to rush out. What is the point of having the Sky Channel Flower if he lost his life?

Just as Mo Wuji was about to run away, his spiritual will sensed a purple flower. The purple flower blossomed like a rose in the midst of the fog without any rhizome or leaves. It was growing while suspended in the air.

Sky Channel Flower! Mo Wuji could immediately recognised that as the Sky Channel Flower.
