Chapter 218: The Most Rundown Immortal Estate (2/2)

Mo Wuji walked in front, Zhuang Yan in the center, and Pu Qian at the back.

Although there were no tall mountains on the island, but countless ridges were present before them. All kinds of thorns and vines were around, and poisonous snakes and ants were even more prevalent.

Thankfully even the Zhuang Yan, who had the lowest cultivation level, was at least at the advanced Spirit Building Stage, so while there were no roads around, the three of them proceeded with a decent pace.

Two hours later, Mo Wuji stopped. He did not have to refer to the map at all, as the location in front of his eyes has been destroyed.

”This place was recently destroyed, wait, the location of the immortal estate on the map seems to be here.” Pu Qian took out the map to check as he spoke. Almost immediately, he continued confidently, ”That’s right, this is the place. The seven mountains on the left and right look like a ladle, and the position of the immortal estate is right in the center of the ladle. It seems like before Jiang Xiapeng and the others were here, there were still other people that had visited this place in the past.”

With his spiritual will, Mo Wuji found a staircase sloping underground, and once he dug up a some soil , he was able to see a stone slab. Below the slab was the spiraling staircase. It was a pity that his spiritual will was limited, and could not see deeper into the ground.

”Brother Mo, we can go down from here. There’s a marking on the map for this. But why has there been other people that visited this place before the few of us?” Zhuang Yan asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Mo Wuji chuckled, ”My observation skills are quite sharp. Moreover when we were walking over just now, there were some sounds that allowed me to infer that the ground was hollow.”

In reality, regardless whether it was the fresh soil or the underground staircase, Mo Wuji saw and analysed all of that using his spiritual will, and it had nothing to do with his observation skills. Having spiritual will as a Mortal Realm cultivator was a critical secret of his, so there was no need to inform others about it, even if he considered Zhuang Yan and Pu Qian as his friends.

”Let me have a go.” Pu Qian drew a mace from his storage bag and instantly separated the pile of fresh soil into two. This mace was a decent low grade spiritual item which Mo Wuji casually gave to Pu Qian, and he immediately used it to open a way for them. As for the heavy sword on his back, he did not bear to use it yet.

In a few simple strokes, a medium sized bluestone slab was revealed beneath the soil, and with a casual flick of the mace, it was flipped open. A seemingly endless stone staircase appeared before the three of them, and a gust of cold air blew out from below. The underground was obviously cold.

Deep inside, Mo Wuji was disappointed. If the immortal estate was at such a rundown location, then there’s too many immortal estates in the world. Everyone knew that the map was a fake, but it would be a joke if it let to this location which even an ordinary mortal could build.

Even if it was a shoddy immortal estate, its hidden location should at least have a concealment array, defence array, and a generic killing array. However, there was nothing here other than a stone staircase that anyone could have dug with a shovel.

”If this is an immortal estate, then my house would not be much worse than one.” Pu Qian also looked at the stone staircase in disappointment.

But Zhuang Yan suddenly spoke up, ”Brother Mo, brother Pu, this place looks like it has no special aura and it could have been dug out by a mortal. But how would a mortal have reached this place?”

Upon hearing this, Mo Wuji nodded to himself. It was indeed not very possible for a mortal to come here. While there were not many strong demonic beasts in the sky sea, but the giant waves and howling winds were definitely not something that mortals could stand up to.

”Let’s go in to take a look, I’ll take point.” Mo Wuji took the first step down the stone staircase after speaking.

”I’ll cover the back. Later I’ll return the bluestone slab to its original state.” Pu Qian took the initiative to walk at the back.

As she walked behind Mo Wuji, Zhuang Yan took out an illumination stone, and a ten meter radius around the staircase immediately lit up. Only then did Mo Wuji realise that the stone staircase was surrounded by bluestone, so it seemed like the person that made this staircase wasn’t a simple character.

At the end of the staircase there stood a stone door, and when Mo Wuji let his spiritual will seep through it, he was stunned momentarily. Beyond the stone door was a stone hall, and the people in the hall were no strangers for Mo Wuji. After all, Jiang Xiapeng and the rest had left earlier than them. However, what surprised him was that there were almost 20 people inside. Other than Jiang Xiapeng’s group of five, there were over 10 people that he did not recognise.

In the middle of the stone hall, there was an object that looked like a yurt [1]. Almost 20 people surrounded the yurt’s exterior.

As Mo Wuji pushed the stone doors open, 20 eyes’ gazes fell on the three of them. Qi Wenxuan immediately rejoiced, ”Yanyan, I was so worried about you. Thank god nothing happened to you. Quickly come to my side.” To this, Zhuang Yan simply nodded her head, and remained at Mo Wuji and Pu Qian’s side. She originally did not want to go to sea, but she did only after Qi Wenxuan repeatedly told her that he could protect her, and that he hoped that the both of them would live together to the ends of time after reaching the immortal estate. She only came along because of this. However, she realised not long ago that these words meant nothing.

”Latecomers, behave yourselves and stand at the back.” Seeing Mo Wuji walking straight to the stone hump at the center of the stone hall, a shrill voice loudly commanded.

[1] A yurt is a traditional hut/tent of mongolians.
