Chapter 464: Mo Wuji’s Tomb (2/2)

Xia Ruoyin’s face turned pale white. She slowly lifted her hand; her body emanated heavy killing intent.

Wen Xiaoqi sneered, ”I also know that that after you obtained Wuji’s drug formula, you came into some great fortune. Otherwise, your look wouldn’t have remained unchanged throughout the years. But I, Wen Xiaoqi have nothing to fear. I may not be able to help Wuji take revenge, but it could also be a form of satisfaction to be able to die beside Wuji.”

”You really wanted to kill me?” When Xia Ruoyin heard these words, she unexpectedly put her hands down.

Wen Xiaoqi glanced at Xia Ruoyin in disdain, ”I simply wish to devour your meat and drink your blood. I didn’t get married, precisely because I wanted to find the chance to kill you. Unfortunately, I know that I will never have that chance anymore.”

With that, Wen Xiaoqi did not even give Xia Ruoyin a second glance. She slowly turned back, and continued to throw some paper money into the fire.

The expression on Xia Ruoyin’s face changed multiple times. Finally, she turned. Her figure flashed, and soon disappeared, floating away just like a leaf.

…

In the cave at the periphery of Five Lotus Mountain, Mo Wuji was surrounded by piles of immortal lattice stones. He grabbed one immortal lattice stone, then tried to feel the energy within according to the method that Han Qingru had taught him. Thereafter, he tried to absorb that energy to condense his immortal lattice.

There seemed to be some unfathomable dao energy within the immortal lattice stone. However, what caused Mo Wuji’s expression to change was that he was completely unable to absorb even a hint of dao energy from the immortal lattice stone.

If he couldn’t even extract the energy from within, how was he going to condense his immortal lattice?

After an entire day, nothing happened to the immortal lattice stone in Mo Wuji’s hand. It looked exactly the same.

Mo Wuji’s heart sunk slightly, but he didn’t go and ask Han Qingru for help. He was sure that even Han Qingru wouldn’t understand the reason behind this. Perhaps it was related to his cultivation technique. He didn’t have spiritual roots, but created the meridian cultivation technique. Perhaps, in the entire universe, he might be the only person that could have reached the Heavenly Immortal Stage without spiritual roots.

Taking in a deep breath, Mo Wuji didn’t continue to condense his spiritual lattice. He retrieved a pile of immortal crystals, then started to convert his elemental energy to immortal elemental energy.

His 108 meridians were simultaneously in reverse circulation, forming a huge reverse circulation path. Mo Wuji merely spent half a month to fully convert his elemental energy to immortal elemental energy.

When Mo Wuji advanced into the Heavenly Immortal Stage, the elemental energy within him was already brimming to the seams. Now that it had been converted to immortal elemental energy, his power had risen by multiple folds.

After converting his elemental energy, Mo Wuji took out the immortal lattice stone again. Previously, he suspected that he might have been unable to condense his immortal lattice due to the fact that his elemental energy had yet to be converted.

What left Mo Wuji disappointed was, even after his elemental energy had been converted to immortal elemental energy, he was still unable to condense his immortal lattice.

Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. Once again, he kept all the immortal lattice stones around him. He felt a little despondent.

He had went through so much difficulties to excavate so many immortal lattice stones but he wasn’t able to even use one of them. Wasn’t this simply wasting his efforts?

Now, he was worried that if he hadn’t condensed his immortal lattice, would he still be able to climb the Immortal Seeking Staircase?

Regardless, he couldn’t stay here any further. Mo Wuji opened his restrictions and walked out.

Han Qingru, who was cultivating, noticed Mo Wuji and immediately stood up, ”Junior brother, you’ve already condensed your immortal lattice?”

Mo Wuji nodded, ”En, let’s go. Let’s see the Immortal Seeking Staircase.”

[1] Qing Ming Festival is the Tomb-Sweeping Festival of the Chinese. What the Chinese do during this festival can be inferred from its name.

[2] The Chinese burn paper money as offerings for the dead. This paper money can be used as currency by the dead in the Underworld. Besides, paper money, they also burn many other kinds of paper objects, such as paper houses or even paper Ferraris.
