Chapter 419: Entering the Mining Area of Death (2/2)
The most important part was that planet, which Mo Wuji suspected could be Earth.
This time, Master Pu Zi replied confidently, ”I’ve heard of Ye Li before. He’s an extraordinary genius. While his aptitude for cultivation could not compare to others, but he could somehow find a unique method if cultivation, even undergoing the Heavenly Immortal lightning tribulation here. You must know that there are similar geniuses in the Half Immortal Domain, but not everyone can undergo the Heavenly Immortal lightning tribulation in this domain.”
”Where is Ye Li from then?”
Master Pu Zi replied by shaking his head, ”This I do not know. I’m not actually acquainted with him. I simply heard of these stories on the grapevine.”
…
Two days later, Master Pu Zi stopped the flying ship.
A grey and hazy scene emerged before the four of them. Both the sky and the ground had some sort of grey mist hanging over them. But since the day that Mo Wuji set foot in the Half Immortal Domain, this was the first time he had arrived at an area with a ground that was not completely black.
”This is the Mining Area of Death?” Mo Wuji asked as he laid his eyes on the grey and misty area in front of him.
”Yes. Perhaps you can’t see anything when you scan the area with your spiritual will, but as long as you do it a few more times, you’ll be able to barely see the spotty Colourless Leeches. Many cultivators stay at the outer borders of this area when stealing blackstone, and only dare to venture further inside after inspecting the surroundings repeatedly.” Master Pu Zi explained.
Mo Wuji’s spiritual will had spread through this space, and it was as Master Pu Zi described. There were some spotted bugs that he could barely detect. These bugs were rather similar to regular leeches, and their soft bodies made one quite uncomfortable when looking at them.”
”Master Pu Zi added on, ”Your spiritual will might be able to see part of them, but that’s definitely not all of the leeches present. When you continue to inspect the are further, you’ll definitely find more. The cultivators that come here to steal blackstone often get their bodies invaded by Colourless Leeches, hence no one dares to enter this area any further.”
Nodding his head, Mo Wuji took a step forward, at the same time forming his spiritual eye. In order to work with Master Pu Zi, he could hide it no longer.
The grey scene before him suddenly cleared up, and indeed there were tens of Colourless Leeches in the vicinity that his spiritual will did not sense.
”This...Eye of Spirituality…” Master Pu Zi took in a deep breath. He never imagined that Mo Wuji would possess an Eye of Spirituality.
”Master Pu Zi, what’s an eye of spirituality?” Jia Qi asked out of curiosity.
At this point Master Pu Zi knew that Mo Wuji considered him as trustworthy, thus revealing the Eye of Spirituality. As such, there should be no more guarding against each other. This was the first time he felt some level of respect towards Mo Wuji.
”The Eye of Spirituality is a kind of skill that is developed naturally. It is rumored that less than one in 10 million will possess this skill. This sort of spiritual eye is also called the Natural Dao Eye. It can see everything, even those hiding in the void. While the Colourless Leeches are adept in camouflaging themselves, under the Eye of Spirituality, there’s nowhere for them to hide. However, it’s a pity that the Eye of Spirituality can only sense the Colourless Leeches, and cannot eliminate them…”
Master Pu Zi’s stopped in the middle of his sentence, as he stared at Mo Wuji in disbelief once again. At this moment, Mo Wuji extended circle after circle of a pale green flame. Even though his spiritual will could only detect a few Colourless Leeches, they were turned to dust in an instant upon contact with the flame.
”This is the Scholar’s Heart…” Not only did Master Pu Zi recognise Mo Wuji’s flame, but Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi did so as well.
With both the Eye of Spirituality and Scholar’s Heart, the Mining Area of Death was just a joke to Mo Wuji. The Colourless Leeches here were simply a type of wood affinity demonic bug, and the Scholar’s Heart was the mortal enemy of such demonic bugs.
Clenching his fist tightly, Master Pu Zi became agitated to the point that he began shaking. He had dreamt of this moment much longer than Jia Qi and Lou Chuanhe. With such abilities, on top of the soon to be completed battleship, what was there to fear about crossing the Immortal Chasm?
The light at the end of the tunnel finally shone through after staying in the Half Immortal Domain for such a long time.
The radius of Mo Wuji’s flame gradually increased, and through his spiritual eye, he could observe the countless Colourless Leeches in the void being reduced to nothingness.
Once it was safe, he signalled to the rest of the group behind him, and they immediately understood what he meant, charging straight into the area demarcated by Mo Wuji’s flame.
”Master Pu Zi, don’t you feel like we’re not the only ones here?” Mo Wuji spoke with a serious tone. He had noticed the traces of array flags in the vicinity, which indicated that he was not the only one with means to enter the Mining Area of Death.
