The white moustached old man chuckled, ”There's still something I want to tell you. That little lover of yours was saved by me and she went to the Zhen Mo Continent. I even heard that there's a purple robed monkey called Xia Mu who's very interested in her. If you don't hurry over, you will lose your beauty.”
Mo Wuji directly ignored the old man's words; everything this old man did seemed to have a motive, ”Senior, if you want to trade, then just say it. Don’t be full of twists and turns like a politician.”
”Solid ah, I like the way we interact with each other: straightforward!” The white moustached old man slapped his thigh and said heartily.
Mo Wuji cursed in his heart, If your ways are considered straightforward, then nothing in this world is curved.
The white moustached old man did not express a half bit of shame as he said, ”The Zhen Mo Continent has something called the Universal Board, it's different from other boards. In the Heaven Seeking Board, it will record the number of steps you climbed and your name if you carve your name on the Heaven Seeking Staircase. But for the Universal Board, it will see what is your ranking, then allow you to climb up that particular number of steps. Remember ah, the Universal Board is diametrically opposite from the Heaven Seeking Board. The number one step is the highest step.”
Mo Wuji's face turned ugly, ”You can be expecting me to obtain number one on the Universal Board and then climb it right?”
The white moustached old man did not seem to hear Mo Wuji's sarcasm, with a big thumbs up, he said, ”You see, I enjoy working with you. You'll first obtain number one on the Universal Board and then climb to the number one step. Thereafter, you'll take the Universal Peak Token from the top. That's the first thing.”
Mo Wuji said coldly, ”I’ve heard of the Universal Board. It's the highest board in the entire Zhen Mo Continent. Everyone on that board are either Worldly Immortals or experts beyond Worldly Immortals. Even if there were some in the True God Stage, they would be ranked among the back. This board purely measures the contribution points made in the universe. Not only must one's cultivation be high, one's contribution must also be number one. You want me to be the first on the Universal Board? Moreover, the first place on the Universal Board had long been occupied. Even if I climbed up, the Universal Peak Token wouldn't belong to me.”
The white moustached old man hurriedly waved his hands, ”It's nothing, it's nothing. The first places on the Universal Board have always been old fogeys over a hundred years old. If the reach the first place on the Universal Board after 100 years old, they wouldn't be able to climb to the number one step of the Universal Board. Moreover, few people on the Zhen Mo Continent would climb the Universal Board. Do you think that they ate too much and have too much energy to spare? They only care about leaving their name behind on the Universal Board and wouldn't even know that it could be climbed. So, you just need to reach the first place on the Universal Board before you turn 100, then you will have a chance to obtain the Universal Peak Token. If you go over once you're above 100, you don't deserve to be the number one on this low levelled continent. With that talent, there wouldn't even be any meaning in climbing up.”
Mo Wuji sighed, ”So that's why you saved Cen Shuyin and thought of ways to send her to the Zhen Mo Continent right?”
Mo Wuji had long inquired about Cen Shuyin's matter, he knew that this old fogey had saved her and threw her at the entrance of the Sword Lake without any explanation. Furthermore, it was the Sword Lake elder himself who found an explanation.
”This are your own words, I never forced her to go to the Zhen Mo Continent ah. I didn't say anything, I was purely doing a good deed. Eventually, she was the one who wanted to go to the Zhen Mo Continent and I even heard she’s harassed by a little monkey called Xia Mu. So that's why ah, you should hurry over. Court her and coerce her to bed, then you can carry on,” The white moustached old man hastily answered.
Mo Wuji plainly said, ”I’ve always liked being straightforward. If you continue to twist and turn then I will stop talking. At the very most, you can get the person you sent to the Zhen Mo Continent to fight for you.”
The old fogey was too lazy to even step out when the alien cultivators almost destroyed the Lost Continent. Mo Wuji didn't believe that he would be so kind-hearted to save Cen Shuyin as a 'good deed’.
The white moustached old man chortled, ”Ah, you're talking about Cen Shuyin ah. Now that I think about it, I did have that in mind when I saved her. But a larger part of me wanted her to follow you to the Zhen Mo Continent.”
Mo Wuji went silent without a word, he knew Cen Shuyin's character. To exchange for a lightning-type skill, she was willing to pester an outer disciple. If she had the chance to go to the Zhen Mo Continent to pursue the Dao, she definitely wouldn't give it up. Even he knew Cen Shuyin's character, there was no reason why this old fogey wouldn't know.
”Talk about the second condition then. I believe that you definitely won't settle for just one thing,” Mo Wuji calmed down. The white moustached old man had already made things clear, saving him was for a purpose. At least it was much better than those fake gentleman.
The old man immediately smiled and said, ”The second condition is for you to bring the two tokens to the immortal sealing array in the Gods Tower and save a person called Ji Li. Only after you do this, our trade will be complete.”
”Where's the Gods Tower? Who is Ji Li? I don't even know,” Mo Wuji said calmly.
The white moustached old man waved his hands, ”When you have the abilities, you will naturally find out. If you don't have the abilities, knowing about it would also be useless.”
”Since that's the case, why don't you find someone more capable to do it?” Mo Wuji frowned and asked.
