Chapter 301: Honing The Wind Escape Technique (2/2)

Even though Mo Wuji’s absorption of spiritual energy was crazy fast, ever since he entered the True Lake Stage, raising each level became increasingly difficult.

He took a whole nine months to advance from True Lake Stage Level 3 to Level 4. He had been in True Lake Stage Level 4 for three months now but True Lake Stage Level 5 still looked far and remote.

At this moment, Mo Wuji stopped his cultivation. He felt a fluctuation in the spiritual energy and sent his spiritual will extending outwards, discovering that Cen Shuyin had already stopped her cultivation.

Mo Wuji changed a set of clothes and walked out of his compartment.

Things were different now. Previously, he did not know of the Wind Escape Technique, so even if he wore on layers and layers of clothing, he would still get ripped and shredded by the raging winds of the Thorny Wind Gate. But now with his Wind Escape Technique, if he was careful, he shouldn’t be affected much by the Thorny Wind Gate’s crazy winds.

”Junior apprentice brother Mo…” Seeing Mo Wuji appear, a hint of glee appeared in Cen Shuyin’s eyes.

”Senior apprentice sister Cen, congratulations on your success with the Typhoon Formula,” Mo Wuji did not know whether Cen Shuyin had yet to accept the Wind Escape Technique legacy but he could tell with a single glance that Cen Shuyin must have been successful in her cultivation of the Typhoon Formula. Not only that, Cen Shuyin’s power had swelled exponentially. Even though she tried to restrain her aura, Mo Wuji could still clearly feel her power.

Cen Shuyin could not suppress the joy in her eyes, ”En, I’ve indeed successfully cultivated the Typhoon Formula, and I’ve also learnt the Wind Escape Technique. Junior apprentice brother Mo, on your side…”

Mo Wuji celebrated, ”I’ve also gained insights on my own Wind Escape Technique, and I was just about to go outside to hone my Wind Escape Technique. Why don’t we go together?”

”Alright. Understanding the Wind Escape Technique takes time, and it’s hard to control one’s eventual location. When the time comes, should we meet back here?” After Cen Shuyin accepted the Wind Escape Technique legacy, she knew that Mo Wuji and her should no longer face any difficulty within a place like the Thorny Wind Gate.

Mo Wuji nodded, ”Unfortunately, there’s no way to send any messages. I also don’t have any flying messenger swords.”

”Flying messenger swords are useless in the Thorny Wind Gate, it would immediately be swept away by the strong winds. I heard that the Zhen Mo Continent has some sort of communication bead but those things are incredibly rare. Only those Worldly Immortal smiths with understandings over the space dao could forge it,” Cen Shuyin sighed.

Communication beads were indeed hard to get. Even if it was a Worldly Immortal, it would still be useless if he wasn’t a supreme smith. To be a supreme smith and a Worldly Immortal at the same time, such cultivators were truly too rare.

Mo Wuji suddenly felt some regret; he should have asked that old fishing fogey to give him some communication beads. That old fishing fogey was so strong, Mo Wuji wouldn’t believe it if he claimed that he didn’t have any communication beads.

…

The exit passage had already been sealed, but for two True Lake Stage experts like Mo Wuji and Cen Shuyin, it was not difficult to smash open a new path.

Two hours later, the two emerged from a crevice. The only difference was the previous long winding crevice had already disappeared.

”Senior apprentice sister Cen, we’ll go our separate ways here. Wait till we achieve success in our Wind Escape Techniques then we can meet back here.” The moment they emerged, Mo Wuji flatly said.

Just as Cen Shuyin acknowledged, the roaring wind blew by, sweeping the two away.

Whether it was Mo Wuji or Cen Shuyin, none of them specially tried to resist this sudden gust of wind.

Things were different now; even though he was wrapped up in this violent wind, Mo Wuji could feel the entirety of the wind. Not just the traceless wind whip, he could even clearly feel the crushed stones and rubble carried within the wind.

Even so, his power was still insufficient, and his Wind Escape Technique level was too low, he couldn’t dodge the strikes of the wind whip. But in the majority of the time, Mo Wuji could easily avoid the wind whips.

The most terrifying thing about the Thorny Wind Gate wasn’t the irresistible winds, but the crushed stones and wind whips within the violent winds. If he could dodge these things, as long as he didn’t encounter any Howling Wind Beasts or other wind-type beasts of the like, he was practically free of danger.

As the start, Mo Wuji could feel the existence of the wind whip, but he wasn’t able to fully dodge them. He even had a full ribs broken from the collision against some crushed stones.

But as time passed, Mo Wuji became more at ease within the Thorny Wind Gate. Sometimes, he even felt himself to be a strand of wind within the violent winds, following the movements of the wind without a trace.

Three months later, Mo Wuji’s Wind Escape Technique had reached level 4. In six months, Mo Wuji’s Wind Escape Technique advanced into level 6. By this time, Mo Wuji no longer faced any threat from the Thorny Wind Gate and it was no longer able to help him improve any further. As such, Mo Wuji stopped honing his Wind Escape Technique.

As Mo Wuji was prepared to go back to meet Cen Shuyin, he felt the ripples of a battle within the violent wind. The spatial ripples from a battle were different from those from the winds. Explosions of elemental energy could clearly be felt.
