”Ignorant…” Yu Minjiang sneered; but he quickly changed his words, ”then are you able to get hold of this thing?”
Mo Wuji did not hesitate to say, ”I can get it…”
Yu Minjiang responded with an 'En’, then he said, ”Since that's the case, as long as you are promise that you would bring immortal lattice stones the next time Gods Tower opens, I would guide you out. Of course, you need to convince me to believe your words.”
Mo Wuji jolted. So simple? He doesn't even want his green stone anymore? Could it be that this Yu Minjiang understands that he can't negotiate on equal terms; so he lowered his conditions?
Regardless what was the reason, Mo Wuji wouldn't lose out. He responded promptly, ”How about this, I will leave behind a strand of my spiritual will imprint. If I don't come back, you can find me if you ever manage to free yourself. Alternatively, you can get others that enter the immortal sealing array to come and look for me.”
Mo Wuji’s spirit storage channel could easily simulate any spiritual will imprint. Even if he left it behind, Yu Minjiang wouldn't be able to locate him. Actually, even if he left behind a trackable spiritual will imprint, he knew that it wouldn't be enough to convince Yu Minjiang. But they were negotiating; so he would definitely start with the lowest option.
When Mo Wuji finished speaking, he anticipated some bargaining from Yu Minjiang. Against his expectations, Yu Minjiang actually said, ”Ok.”
So simple? Mo Wuji was slightly at a loss. He even started to suspect Yu Minjiang had some hidden methods up his sleeves. This shouldn't be the case. It was true that a cultivator could constantly monitor another cultivator through the spiritual will imprint. However, there was a limit to the effective radius of the imprint. The universe was so vast; if the cultivator were to walk past that limit, then the spiritual will imprint would no longer be able to track him.
But this shouldn't be a trap. From the looks of it, this Yu Minjiang must be feeling helpless; so he lowered his conditions.
As he thought of this, Mo Wuji modified the spiritual will in his spirit storage channel and injected it into a jade talisman. He then threw the talisman to the huge rock.
The moment the jade talisman landed on the rock, it disappeared.
A few instants later, Yu Minjiang’s voice sounded once more, ”Very good. You’re very straightforward. I will give this genuine guide token to you.”
Thereafter, a jade token flew towards Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji left the jade token on the floor. He only picked it up after verifying that there was nothing wrong by using his spirit storage channel’s spiritual will. When he picked the jade token up, he found that there was, indeed, a new route inside.
”Follow according to that route and you would soon be able to walk out of the immortal sealing array. Remember our agreement. I hope that you would play your part, as I played mine.”
Mo Wuji frowned. It was so simple; that it was suspicious. However, he wasn’t able to find a single loophole. Yu Minjiang wanted him to find some immortal lattice stones; so Yu Minjiang wouldn’t want to trap him. However, the critical thing was that green stone; Yu Minjiang seemed to value it immensely, but he no longer asked about it.
”Oh, it’s best that you leave that green stone behind. Otherwise, you might get blocked when you try to leave the array,” Yu Minjiang’s voice coincidentally sounded as Mo Wuji was thinking of this.
When Mo Wuji heard these words, he sighed in relief. That’s more proper. However, it was impossible to ask him to leave the green stone behind. He had the Undying World. He did not believe that the array would be able to detect the green stone if it was placed in his Undying World.
”Since that’s the case, I will be leaving first.” Mo Wuji didn’t even mention anything about the green stone, as he opened his spiritual eye and carefully treaded forward.
In just ten meters, Mo Wuji started to feel that something was amiss. Terrifying waves of killing intent continuously brush against him; some even slammed directly agains this Book of Luo. It could be said that without his Book of Luo, he would already be dead.
”Yu Minjiang, you old man tried to lie to me.” If Mo Wuji still believed that Yu Minjiang was trying to guide him out safely; then he would be a fool.
He clenched his fists angrily, turning that jade token into dust.
Even though he was raging, Mo Wuji was still wondering what went wrong? Why didn’t Yu Minjiang believe that he was going to come back for him with the immortal lattice stones?
While his spiritual will imprint wasn’t the perfect promise, it was already considered a really honest method. For cultivators that weren’t willing to make promises, leaving behind a spiritual will imprint was the best choice. Moreover, Mo Wuji definitely didn’t believe that Yu Minjiang would be able to detect his spirit storage channel.
He didn’t let anyone else know about his spirit storage channel; it was his personal secret.
Indeed, Yu Minjiang’s voice suddenly sounded beside his ear, ”Now, you have walked out of the area of safety. No matter where you go, you will be faced with killing intent. That page of the Book of Luo is not bad, but it can’t guarentee your safety in the immortal sealing array for more than ten years. Also, you should give up any hope that you would be transported out when the Gods Tower closes. The Gods Tower’s transfer doesn’t affect the immortal sealing array.”
”What do you want?” Mo Wuji inhaled deeply and forced himself to calm down. At this moment, anxiety would only make things worse. From the looks of it, the reason why he could walk safely previously was indeed because of the Immortal Seeking Token. It had brought him to the safety zone that Yu Minjiang wanted him to be at.
Yu Minjiang said flatly, ”Firstly, leave behind all of your immortal lattice stones. Secondly, leave the green stone behind. Then, we would all go our separate ways. Of course, I will provide you with the genuine guide token.”
