Chapter 267: True Extreme Mortal Stage (2/2)
This was the first time the old man revealed an aggrieved expression, ”You don't think I want to? When I started to defend this place, the Heaven Seeking Palace was nothing much. Then, the Lost Continent gave birth to many geniuses, experts were as plenty as the clouds. However, no one could climb to the top Heaven Seeking Palace. There was one time, I met this fella who climbed to the 107th step of the Heaven Seeking Staircase. I was so happy, my balls almost dropped out. Unfortunately, that fella did not manage to step upon the 108th step.”
Seemingly immersed in the recollection of the long time he was cooped here, the old man took some time to get rid of the nostalgia in his eyes before he continued, ”You don't have spiritual roots but you came up with your method of cultivating by opening meridians. Not only that, you even found 108 meridians in your body. Even though they have not all been fully perforated, I believe that it is simply a matter of time. You were also incredibly lucky, finding the most suitable cultivation technique for you, the Immortal Mortal Technique. So that's why you are the only one here in the Lost Continent that could truly tread upon the true Extreme Mortal Stage, and you also have the chance of attaining the true Extreme Earth Stage. Of course, most importantly, you reached the 108th step.
You may not know this but when you brought the Immortal Seeking Token down, I almost wanted to snatch it from you and leave this place. I would have gone to the Zhen Mo Continent to search for geniuses. However, I resisted that temptation; why find others when I could choose you. Even though I don't view your meridian cultivation highly, where else would I find another person as exceptional as you?”
As he recalled the old fogey's reaction when he offered the Immortal Seeking Token, Mo Wuji could come to a rough understanding. He never thought that this old fogey could even see through his cultivation method through opening meridians. Exactly what was the fella's origins? Did this old fogey also know that he didn't have a golden core but a violet emanation?
”Senior, I'm sure I'm not the only Extreme Mortal Stage cultivator. Even in the Lost Continent alone, there are a few. It's just that most of them only reached Level 10, while I reached Level 12,” Mo Wuji corrected the white moustached old man's misunderstanding.
The white moustached old man chuckled, ”Three levels equate one small stage. For example, you're now in the Yuan Dan Stage. Yuan Dan Level 1 to 3 is the Yuan Dan Elementary Stage, Level 4 to 6 is the Yuan Dan Intermediate Stage and Level 7 to 9 is the Yuan Dan Advanced Stage. Since each three levels is a minor stage, why would there only be one level in the Extreme Mortal Stage? Let me tell you, the true Extreme Mortal Stage has three levels, that is Level 10 to Level 12. So all those Level 10 Extreme Mortal Stage cultivators are merely consoling themselves. Hei, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning ah.”
So that's the case, Mo Wuji finally understood why each of his stage was 12 levels. It wasn't him who had cultivated wrongly, but it others. So the fact was that he was one of the small handful of people who grasped the truth ah.
”Senior, if that's the case, I agree. But I will have to put thing upfront, I will only try my best. But if I never find the Gods Tower in my entire life, then I wouldn't be able to open the immortal sealing array. Of course, perhaps I might help senior find an inheritor,” Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said.
The old man sighed, ”I estimate that with your astuteness and your methods, there wouldn’t be problem living till you’re 1800 years old. If you wait for 1800 years, then there wouldn’t be much of a point going to the Gods Tower.”
…
”Four hours have arrived.” In the Five Elements Desolate City, the eyebrow-less man suddenly stood up, his killing intent flooded in all directions as he prepared to start his slaughter.
With this inundating killing intent, all the sect heads in the hall slowly took a few steps back. No one thought that this was faked. The other party was a Worldly Immortal King, if he said he want massacre the entire Five Elements Desolate City, then he would do it.
Jiang Xiushan's face sunk as he said coldly, ”He truly says one thing but does another. Where's that courage and grandeur he demonstrated two years ago on the Five Elements Desolate Plaza? These two years, we’ve slogged hard for the Hundred Sect Alliance, but where was he?”
”Don't tell me everywhere I go, I must report to you, Jiang Xiushan? Jiang Xiushan, are you the alliance head, or is it me, Mo Wuji, who's the alliance head?” Mo Wuji's voice could be heard from afar followed by Mo Wuji slowly walking into the hall.
Jiang Xiushan’s voice lagged, he didn't know that Mo Wuji would appear at this time. If he did, he should have said that sentence a little later.
Mo Wuji had arrived and the entire hall of people heaved a sigh of relief. Everyone knew, if Mo Wuji came, at most he would die. But if he didn't come, then everyone was screwed.
”Alliance Head Mo.” Feng Zhenqiu clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji, his face was bitter. According to principle, when the Hundred Sect Alliance faces difficulties, they shouldn't let the alliance head stand out alone against it. But for now, besides having Mo Wuji stand forward to defend them, there was nothing else they could do.
It wasn't because everyone was afraid of death, it was just that throwing additional eggs at a rock would never break it. Since that's the case, why waste the eggs?
”You're Rogue Cultivator 2705?” The eyebrow-less man coldly sized Mo Wuji up, his eyes revealed a hint of surprise. He felt that the spiritual ripples around Mo Wuji were weak. According to his knowledge, Mo Wuji's roots should be very ordinary.
”I have no debts or grievances with you. Did you specially come to find me because of that Xia Mu?” Mo Wuji looked at the eyebrow-less man and asked calmly.
”Enough with the nonsense, let's go.” The eyebrow-less man lifted his hand and extended it towards Mo Wuji. However, his face immediately changed as he retracted his hand, and at the same time, punching towards the hall entrance.
The punch brought with it a surge of explosive energy, causing the whole room to tremble. It was like a huge dragon wanted to devour the entire hall.
