Chapter 495: Not Enough (2/2)

Zhong Zhen sneered, ”Gou Xinghao, don’t think that the rest of us don’t know about your shady business. This is a grand matter of unsealing a treasure, yet your Hong Qi isn’t here. Hehe, don’t tell me you went to kill that newly-transcended Golden Immortal?”

”Young master, there’s no reply.” By Gou Xinghao’s side, that young girl suddenly uttered; her voice was filled with slight anxiety.

Gou Xinghao couldn’t be bothered about Zhong Zhen; he immediately sent out a flying messenger sword. However, a few instants later, his face turned ugly; he felt that his flying messenger sword was not able to find its target and it got destroyed.

In this Lifeless Secret Domain, the reason why the flying messenger sword wasn’t able to find its target definitely wasn’t due to the fact that the distance was too far. The only possibility was that the target had disappeared.

”That’s impossible.” Gou Xinghao shouted angrily.

From his perspective, that ‘Mo Xinghe’ was merely a Golden Immortal that just passed his tribulation. No matter how impressive he was, he still wouldn’t be able to kill Hong Qi.

Just as Gou Xinghao shouted, a sharp spiritual will landed on him; that spiritual will contained a hint of stern warning.

Gou Xinghao instantly jolted, and immediately calmed himself. Even though he was not bad, when compared to the Qiao Zhongyan who just used spiritual will on him, he was nothing more than an ant. Just a simple elder from this fella’s One Sword Sect would be enough to eradicate his Blade Scar Mountain.

…

As he hid in his Undying World, Mo Wuji continuously got nourished by his vitality channel, and gradually, his injuries diasppeared. Towards the end, all the immortal elemental energy within his 108 meridians flowed with power, causing a sense of control to fill his mind.

Mo Wuji opened his eyes; his cultivation had risen really quickly. By now, he was already used to getting much stronger every time he recovered.

After that battle with that Xuan Immortal, Mo Wuji’s self-perception had improved tremendously. Not only did he know that his power was still slightly weaker compared to a Xuan Immortal, he also knew of his deficiencies.

Even though he had always used various sorts of physical tempering methods, he was still far from being an expert. That Xuan Immortal was merely an ordinary cultivator at the elementary Xuan Immortal Stage, but he was almost killed. If it was a slightly stronger Xuan Immortal, he wouldn’t even have been able to put up a fight.

Secondly, he felt that his spiritual will was still not strong enough. Compared to other cultivators in the same stage, his spiritual will was indeed much stronger. However, his strength came from his pill refining, his usual tempering and his own Immortal Mortal Technique. Such strength was limited; if he met a much stronger cultivator, his strength wouldn’t even be worth mentioning. In fact, he might not even gain the advantage when pitted against genius cultivators in the same stage.

Thus, besides finding a way to strength his fleshly body, he needed a method to train his spiritual will.

Thereafter, Mo Wuji took out that Xuan Immortal’s storage ring. This was his first time obtaining a Xuan Immortal’s ring, so his heart was filled with anticipation.

With Mo Wuji’s proficiency with arrays, the seals within this storage ring were easily broken.

Instantly, he was greeted by piles of immortal herbs. Most of them were Tier 2 and Tier 3 immortal herbs, while there were some Tier 4 herbs.

Against expectations, there weren’t many high grade immortal crystals; only a few tens of thousands. This left Mo Wuji feeling a bit of disdain; a Xuan Immortal actually wasn’t even as rich as him.

Other than that, there were some smithing materials and some average immortal equipment.

Mo Wuji disappointedly kept that storage ring. If not for that pile of immortal herbs, that Xuan Immortal might as well be a beggar.

After arranging all those herbs in his own ring, Mo Wuji added additional seals around the gourd’s opening. At the same time, he installed a concealment array around the gourd. Only then, did he leave his Undying World.

Now, he really needed to find another person and get answers. Exactly what was this place? Or more accurately, what secret domain was this? The only thing was, he wasn’t able to directly ask these questions. If he did, the other person would definitely know that his origins were shady.

”Boom!” Another violent explosion could be heard; Mo Wuji stared curiously at where the explosion came from. A few days ago, that same place had such an explosion. He never expected that another explosion would occur within a few days.

However, Mo Wuji did not intend to go over. He had killed a Xuan Immortal from Blade Scar Mountain, so his priority now was to find out how to leave this place.

Just at this instant, a majestic aura, similar to that from his Half Moon Halberd, flooded out. Mo Wuji could feel it even though he was so far away.

”Boom!” An even more berserk explosion resounded, and a burst of immortal spiritual energy erupted from the ground.

Mo Wuji, who originally did not intend to go over, was now speeding over.
