Chapter 518: The Difficulty To Be An Immortal Emperor (2/2)

Gong Yi temporarily forgot Mo Wuji’s identity as he sneered, ”The Devil Moon Immortal Sect has an Immortal Emperor? They must be bragging. If they had an Immortal Emperor, it would merely be one in the early stage. I know that Elder Gu, he is merely someone who was at the Quasi-Emperor stage for quite some time.”

Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, ”If the Elder Gu isn’t even in the Immortal Emperor Stage, then how was he able to battle with Yong Ying Immortal Domain’s Heavenly Emperor? And was even able to damage Yong Ying Immortal Domain’s Heaven and Earth?”

Gong Yi replied, ”Yong Ying Immortal Domain is ranked the lowest among all the seven Immortal Domains. Its Heavenly Emperor is called Kui Fengyun, who’s only a Quasi-Emperor. Yong Ying Immortal Domain might have some Immortal Emperors but it’s definitely not Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun.”

Mo Wuji sank into silence; he did not believe that Gong Yi would lie to him. The only possibility was that the intel he got was wrong. But that did not seem impossible; Dou Hualong was merely a worker doing odd jobs on the streets, the information that he could obtain were basically those that were being spread around by the common people.

When any news gets spread around, there was bound to be distortions in the truth. This was especially so for battles like this, the people spreading the rumors wanted to exaggerate and glamorise the battle, thus they would make it sound especially incredible and impressive.

Seeing Mo Wuji turn silent, Gong Yi explained, ”Ever since the ancient times, being an Immortal Emperor is an extremely difficult thing. Not only must one have the fate, one must also have the luck; one cannot solely do it based on talent alone. Because it’s heard to become an Immortal Emperor, many sects have addressed their Quasi-Emperors as Immortal Emperors. But in reality, there is a huge difference; 100 Quasi-Emperors would still be ants in front of 1 Immortal Emperor.”

Mo Wuji patted Gong Yi’s shoulder, ”Gong Yi, this information of yours is very useful to me. Thank you.”

Indeed, if he didn’t interact with something personally, the news that he obtains might not hold water. Moreover, don’t underestimate Gong Yi because he was acting like a little kid fawning over Mo Wuji. In reality, a majority of geniuses could not compare to Gong Yi’s background. An Assessment Deacon for the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, just this title alone was enough to suppress many people. And being at this position, Gong Yi would naturally receive more reliable news.

Gong Yi felt a little overwhelmed by favor; what he said was merely the most basic of knowledge.

Mo Wuji did not continue asking Gong Yi about the purple gourd. Either way, that matter was temporarily not related to him.

When they finally reached the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance entrance, Mo Wuji suddenly thought of something and he immediately turned to ask, ”Gong Yi, if Yong Ying Immortal Domain’s Heavenly Emperor isn’t in the Immortal Emperor Stage, then why don’t the other Immortal Domains attack it?”

Gong Yi lowered his voice and pointed above his head, ”I head that outside of the seven Immortal Domains, there is still the Very High Heavens. Many of the Immortal World’s rules and order is because of the Very High Heavens.”

Mo Wuji did not ask any further; he could faintly feel that he should not continue asking about this. Even if he did, Gong Yi also wouldn’t know anything much. As Mo Wuji started to know more things, ht started to feel that the Immortal World wasn’t some great Heaven, it was still a world filled with petty and narrow-minded people that only served themselves.

…

Mo Wuji did not expect that the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance’s Immortal Training Pool would be at the basement level 2; that meant that it was one level below their treasury.

After bringing Mo Wuji here, Gong Yi stopped and pointed to the huge stone gate in front of them, ”Elder Mo, behind that stone gate is our Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch’s Immortal Training Pool. Only the jade token of elders and above can open it.”

”I understand. Gong Yi, you can return to the store first. Wait till I come back from the Broken World, I will go to the store and teach you some pill techniques.” Mo Wuji knew what were Gong Yi’s thoughts. Even though a part of Gong Yi’s actions was due to respect, more importantly, Gong Yi wanted help to improve in the Pill Dao.

To Gong Yi, cultivation was not as important as pill mastery when he was looking for a teacher.

”Yes, many thanks Elder.” Now that Gong Yi had obtained Mo Wuji’s promise, he contentedly left Pill Dao Immortal Alliance.

After Gong Yi left, Mo Wuji brought out his Elder Identity Token and inserted it into the groove next to the stone gate.

Indeed, after he inserted the jade token, the stone gate started to emit a series of ‘Ge Ge’ sounds as it opened slowly.

Even before he walked into the stone gate, Mo Wuji could feel the rich delight of immortal spiritual energy.

Mo Wuji hurriedly pulled out his jade token and swiftly entered the Immortal Training Pool. After Mo Wuji entered, the heavy stone gate also started to slowly close.

This was a huge hall. In the center of the hall, was a huge pool that was more than a hundred square meters in area. At the center of the pool, there was a stone futon.

There were fogs of immortal mist rolling around the surface of the pool. The immortal spiritual energy here wasn’t merely rich, it even contained a form of natural dao energy.

Mo Wuji hurriedly leap towards that stone futon. Sitting cross-legged, he activated all 108 of his meridians.

108 small circulation paths formed. Thereafter, these small circulation paths joined to form a huge circulation path. Within instants, a huge immortal spiritual energy formed a huge wave that flooded towards Mo Wuji. The immortal mist seemed to have found a gap as it furiously streamed towards Mo Wuji’s surroundings, before disappearing within Mo Wuji’s body.

The unrestrained Mo Wuji was like a huge millstone; as copious amounts of immortal spiritual energy surged in him, he continued to grind it down like a mill, then converting it into his own power.

Ever since Mo Wuji reached the intermediate Golden Immortal Stage, he clearly felt his cultivation speed getting stagnant. But at this instant, as he furiously cultivated within the Immortal Training Pool, his stagnant cultivation was activated again and it continued to rise steadily.

His sea of consciously expanded; his immortal elemental energy continued to condense; his meridians continuously became wider....
