Chapter 637: Dao Emperor (2/2)

”What?” Even Qing Ruoyue looked at Qing Yang in shock.

As people from Green Immortal School, they were all too clear of Yong Ying’s Immortal Chasm. There, a Xuan Immortal, or even a Grand Yi Immortal would face a 90% possibility of dying. When Mo Wuji reached Half Immortal Domain, his cultivation would only be at the Earthly Immortal Stage at the very most. And, would it even matter if he was a Heavenly Immortal at that point? He was actually able to cross a place that no one else was able to survive through? And he was a pill refiner. Usually, the combat power of pill refiners were among the lowest.

Qing Yang nodded, ”Everything that I have said is true. When this person go to the Corner of Yong Ying, he was able to kill Golden Immortals while at the Heavenly immortal Stage. Before Yong Ying Immortal Domain dispatched any experts over, he was actually the tyrant of the Corner of Yong Ying. And not much time had passed since then, but he had already progressed to such a level. He even managed to get an expert like Zhuo Pingan on his side. As days pass, how could he remain as another tiny fish in the pond? Ruoyue, you might have a Nine Star talent, and even be the head of the Green Immortal House’s Seven Fairies, I believe that this Mo Wuji would be a suitable match for you. Don’t just look at how he doesn’t have any foundations nor any backers; his potential is simply staggering.”

Qing Ruoyue also went silent; she knew that what her mother said was true. This Mo Wuji did not have any background or foundation; he was equivalent to a grass in this Immortal World. However, this grass was able to use its own power to grow to such a level. This was definitely not what an average person could achieve.

”If I’m not wrong, this Gai Ao probably also has the same intentions; he wants to find a son-in-law for his Feilan. He probably wants to recruit Mo Wuji, this Tier 7 Pill Emperor, to his Six Paths Immortal Domain,” Qing Yang said as she looked at Mo Wuji’s disappearing figure.

”Ah, then Aunt Yi, why are you simply letting Pill Master Mo go?” Mo Xianmo asked in astonishment.

Qing Yang smiled faintly, ”The circumstances have changed. If Ruoyue wasn’t chosen by the Very High Heavens, then Mo Wuji would have been the best option. But it’s different now; Ruoyue would soon be going to the Very High Heavens. How many geniuses are there in the Very High Heavens? There will definitely be people like Mo Wuji. Moreover, this Mo Wuji truly does not seem to control himself. Just because of his talent, he seems to have gotten arrogant and offended many people. In just a short period of time, he offended the Lightning Sect, Lun Cai, Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, Great Sword Path… I am sure that he will continue to offend many more. Even though this person is capable, he is a double edged sword. Since Ruoyue would have better options, it is better to abandon this one.”

Qing Ruoyue’s graceful eyebrows wrinkled slightly; she did not really like the way her mother did things merely for personal interest. However, she understood her mother’s intentions. She was a person that would be going to the Very High Heavens; she would be walking a completely different path from Mo Wuji. Her mother’s choice wasn’t wrong.

…

Within a pavilion in Heavenly Chasm Pond, Gai Ao indicated for Mo Wuji to sit down. By the side, Gai Feilan had already prepared two cups of immortal wine for Mo Wuji and Gai Ao.

”Since Heavenly Emperor Gai has called me over, is there something of the matter?” Mo Wuji asked.

In front of Gai Ao, Mo Wuji did not have a single shred of self-confidence. Even though Da Huang was standing right behind him, Gai Ao was truly too wrong. Da Huang simply wouldn’t be a match.

”You should have some questions that you want to ask me. You can ask them first,” Gai Ao smiled and said as he drank the wine.

Mo Wuji did have many questions. Now that Gai Ao had allowed it, he naturally wouldn’t be courteous. He clasped his fists and said, ”Heavenly Emperor Gai, what kind of place is the Very High Heavens? Even a Heavenly Emperor needs to be so polite to a mere Venerable Envoy?”

Hearing Mo Wuji’s words, Gai Ao’s face turned serious. He raised his hands to form a few seals, then he said slowly, ”Wuji, you must have come from the mortal world, right? In the mortal world, there’s the emperors and the officials. To draw a parallel, the Very High Heavens is where the emperor stays. The few of us are his officials.”

”Southern Heavenly Gates? Jade Emperor?” Mo Wuji unconsciously said in astonishment.

Gai Ao furrowed his brows slightly, ”What Southern Heavenly Gates and Jade Emperor?”

Mo Wuji hurriedly waved his hand, ”This junior suddenly thought of the myths from my mortal world. There’s a Jade Emperor, and the entrance to where he stays is the Southern Heavenly Gate.”

Gai Ao did not seem to mind. He nodded, ”It’s roughly as you said. The emperor in the Very High Heavens is called the Dao Emperor. It’s said that his power has already passed the Immortal Emperor Stage and he has reached a whole new realm. I am also a Grand Emperor. Over these years, I have traversed across the Immortal World but I’ve never even come close to reaching the Dao Emperor’s level. Not only me, this is also the same for the other Immortal Emperors in the Immortal World. Don’t just look at how we seem to reign supreme in the Immortal World. In reality, in front of Dao Emperor Zi Changluo, we are not even seen as ants.”

Mo Wuji subconsciously exhaled a breath of cold air. He was all too clear of the power of an Immortal Emperor. Grand Emperor Lun Cai could crush him with a single finger. He had an experience of that power during the battle between Zhuo Pingan and Lun Cai. If the two of them went all out, they would turn multiple huge immortal cities into ashes within a single exchange. If they weren’t even ants in front of Dao Emperor Zi Changluo, then how impressive was that Dao Emperor Zi Changluo?

”Then the various Heavenly Emperors in the Immortal World are designated by the Dao Emperor?” Mo Wuji had already calmed down.

Gai Ao sighed, ”That’s not the case. The Heavenly Emperors all got their positions based on their own abilities and combat power. The Dao Emperor does not care about this. But the moment a person gets close to the Dao Emperor’s realm, I’m afraid…”

Mo Wuji’s heart started to turn cold. He was suddenly reminded of his Undying World. At this instant, he felt as though the Immortal World was the Dao Emperor’s own world. They were all within the Dao Emperor’s little world.
