Chapter 652: The Immortal Lattice Stones (2/2)

”That's right. I was indeed the one that forged that token, and it allows you to walk in and out of the immortal sealing array,” Yu Minjiang said solemnly, his tone was neither urgent nor anxious.

It was unknown whether Mo Wuji was simply over thinking, but he actually felt a hint of anxiety in this Yu Minjiang's voice; he was seemingly anxious that Mo Wuji hadn't returned the green stone.

”Since you can create such a token, why haven't you left?” Mo Wuji asked calmly.

”I have been stabbed by a sword, and at the same time, I have been sealed by the array flags of the immortal sealing array. How am I able to get out,” That voice said helplessly.

Mo Wuji suddenly turned to the huge rock on his left; that rock had been stabbed by a broken sword. ”So you're this rock.”

”You're indeed able to see through the falsities here. That's right, I am this rock. More accurately, I am trapped within the rock.” This time, the voice did not seem to come from an unknown direction, but from that rock itself, ”In the immortal sealing array, a rock, a grass, or even a drop of water, can be a trap. You don't understand the immortal sealing array. If you're not careful, you might end up like us: forever unable to get out.”

”So if you were to guide me, I wouldn't fall into those traps?” Mo Wuji said calmly.

”Of course,” Yu Minjiang replied with pride.

Mo Wuji sneered, ”If you're so amazing, then why are you trapped? Aren't you a genius?”

If not for his spiritual eye, he might really have entered the pond and have all his blood sucked out by those fish bones. Towards such a person, Mo Wuji would not behave courteously.

Yu Minjiang went silent. He only spoke after some time, ”Whether you believe it or not, I had been plotted by someone. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been sealed in the immortal sealing array. If you work with me, you will definitely be able to leave. If you don't, then it wouldn't be of a great loss to me. The immortal sealing array would simply have another unfortunately fool to suck elemental energy out of.”

”First, answer a few of my questions. Then we can discuss about the cooperation.” Mo Wuji did not continue behaving sarcastically towards Yu Minjiang. Instead, he said solemnly, ”Firstly, is that friend of mine dead? Secondly, exactly what are those fish bones? Thirdly, what's the purpose of you forging the Immortal Seeking Token?”

This time, Yu Minjiang was very straightforward. ”Firstly, the immortal sealing array is called a sealing array because it doesn't have any killing functions. As long as your friend isn't killed by the roaming killing intent, then he wouldn't die. Secondly, that fish is my beast. If it obtains fresh blood, it will recover a portion of its freedom and be of help to me. Thirdly, I created the Immortal Seeking Token because I wanted people to escape. As long as someone leaves, then another person would be able to enter with the token.”

”Then what is the green stone?” When Mo Wuji noticed that Yu Minjiang was very straightforward with his answer, he asked another question.

This time, Yu Minjiang went silent, not replying to Mo Wuji's question.

Mo Wuji guessed that he had reached the other party's limits. He did not continue asking about the green stone, but asked, ”Since that's the case, then how should we cooperate? What do you need in order to help me get out?”

Yu Minjiang only started speaking again when he heard that Mo Wuji was interested in cooperating, ”Firstly, you need to return the green stone to me, or send it back to the pond. Secondly, you need to find a particular thing for me. When the Gods Tower opens again, pass the Immortal Seeking Token and that thing to another person; then get him to come here. If you swear that you would do these two tasks, I will immediately provide you with the way out.”

Mo Wuji said calmly, ”One, I don't return the things that already belong to me. Two, I don't swear casually. Since you aren't willing to work with me, then I will find my own way out.”

With that, Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye and scanned his surroundings with greater caution than before. Yu Minjiang had said it: any grass and tree could be a sealing spot in the immortal sealing array. He definitely needed to be more careful.

”Alright, I agree. You don't need to swear. As long as you can help me find the consciousness crystal of the ancient gods, then I would guide you out.” When Yu Minjiang noticed that Mo Wuji was leaving, he called out urgently.

Mo Wuji asked in doubt, ”Consciousness crystals of the ancient gods?”

”Yes, the consciousness crystals of the ancient gods. If you go to the battlefields of the ancient gods, you would be able to find some. Wait, let me give you a sample. It was brought in by another fella that entered the Gods Tower previously…” As he spoke, a black, murky stone landed in front of Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji's spirit storage channel’s spiritual will landed on the black stone. Only after verifying that it wasn't a trap, did he pick it up.

”Immortal lattice stone?” When Mo Wuji grabbed this black stone, he immediately understood what is was. It was the Half Immortal Domain's immortal lattice stone; he had hundreds of millions of them.

So this was some consciousness crystal of the ancient gods. From the looks of it, the immortal lattice stones weren't simple.

”You recognise this thing?” Yu Minjiang asked agitatedly.

Mo Wuji said calmly, ”This isn't something special; it's just an immortal lattice stone. Many Heavenly Immortals use them to condense their immortal lattice; then advance to a higher level.”

”Do you have any on you?” Yu Minjiang was especially excited.

Mo Wuji chuckled, ”I'm already a Grand Zhi Immortal. Why would I need this thing?”

He definitely wasn't going to confess that he had hundreds of millions of immortal lattice stones. Since the other party needed it urgently, then he would have to trade for it.
