Chapter 663: Immortal Domain’s Mortal Village (2/2)

Mo Wuji felt as though someone was moving him. But regardless of how much he struggled to open his eyes, he lacked the ability to do so. He even tried to enter the Undying World but found himself unable to do that as well.

He could feel how battered and broken his body was at the moment. Roughly 90% of the meridians in his body had been destroyed and the only 2 that were still intact were the vitality channel and one spirit storage channel.

Mo Wuji knew that the current him was completely powerless. If anyone wanted to kill him or reduce him to ashes there was nothing he could do but accept his fate.

Mo Wuji understood very clearly that it would be immensely dangerous to try and interact with the Undying World as he was now, but he chose to ignore the dangers. He knew that if he didn't try and do something now, even if he could survive this ordeal he would never be able to cultivate again. If he couldn't cultivate then how would living on be any different from death?

Mo Wuji was different from normal cultivators since he did not have a primordial spirit, no matter how high his cultivation was he would always remain a mortal. Hence he couldn't afford to let his physical body truly be destroyed. He had to regenerate his physical body immediately no matter the cost.

Using the spiritual will in his remaining spirit storage channel, he linked up with his sea of consciousness and entered his Undying World.

”My Lord?” The moment that Mo Wuji entered the undying world Shuai Guo inside could feel how weak and unnatural he was.

”Open the purple gourd…” This was the only phrase that Mo Wuji could transmit to Shuai Guo. With his current strength, he wasn't able to open the purple gourd even if it belonged to him.

Shuai Guo immediately rushed to open the purple gourd the moment he received the message. A wisp of the Breath of Hong Meng was quickly swept up by Mo Wuji’s spiritual will and immediately saturated his body.

Even though Mo Wuji only had his vitality channel and one spirit storage channel left, his sea of consciousness was still in perfect condition. His two remaining meridians soon formed a major circulation and began rapidly restoring his broken meridians.

Mo Wuji then split off a portion of his will and began using his Physique Tempering Technique and then entered an unconscious state again. He knew that with his body destroyed and his meridians broken, using the Breath of Hong Meng while circulating his Physique Tempering Technique would be better than circulating any cultivation techniques by a long shot.

Wisp after wisp of barely existent energy began to slowly fill Mo Wuji’s broken body following the circulation of his vitality channel and spirit storing channel and the gradual recovery of his other broken meridians.

Every time a meridian was successfully repaired, the energy in his body would make a quantitative leap.

…

”Grandpa I’m home!” Yu Jingfeng shouted as he entered the courtyard of a small stone house. He was currently carrying the skeleton on his back while holding two large bags of fish in his hands.

From inside the house, an audibly aged voice sounded out, ”Jingfeng why’re you back so late today? The sun already set long ago.”

Yu Jingfeng immediately placed the skeleton on his back onto a nearby stone chair and replied, ”It’s because of this person I found on the beach today grandpa. I was afraid that if I came back any earlier the other villagers would have seen him.”

”A cultivator?” his grandfather replied with a frown.

Seeing his grandfather frown so deeply Yu Jingfeng hurriedly said, ”If I didn't save him he would have surely died. When I first found him he was is a much worse state than now. Within the day, I could feel the life force in his body growing! What’s more, just look at his ring!”

Hearing this, his grandfather could only let out a long sigh. He turned and told Yu Jingfeng, ”Go place him on the bed in your room then come out. Grandpa has a few things to tell you.”

”Yes grandpa” Yu Jingfeng then hurriedly carried Mo Wuji’s body onto the bed in his room then closed the door and left.

”Jingfeng, I’m sure that you know that man is a cultivator and that he has a storage ring full of treasure right?” His grandfather asked with a serious expression.

Yu Jingfeng began to panic. He and his grandfather had always depended on each other for survival. Looking at the stern expression on his grandfather’s face he started to wonder if he had truly done something wrong.

”You didn't take his storage ring… That was the right thing to do.” His grandfather continued on in a low voice.

”Grandpa you’ve taught me before that humans can lack wealth but we can’t lack perseverance.” Yu Jingfeng sensed that his grandfather wasn't going to scold him and felt slightly more at ease.

”Good! For you to already be able to do this at your age is already considered very good. Then from today onwards you’ll be the one in charge of taking care of the man in your room. Remember, not a word about this entire matter to anyone else.” His grandfather shouted.

”Yes grandpa!” Yu Jingfeng hurriedly replied.

After mulling over it for a moment he asked, ” Not even sister in law?”

”I’ll tell her when she comes home later…” His grandfather sighed.

He still had something else he wanted to tell Jingfeng. Even if a cultivator was dead, would taking his storage ring necessarily mean obtaining immense wealth? No! It would only spell an early death! Even if a cultivator couldn't move, his body still wasn’t something a mortal could touch. Even without a body, cultivators still had their primordial spirit.

Whether saving this cultivator and bringing him back was a blessing or a curse, he still didn't know for sure. In the eyes of immortals, ordinary mortals were existences on the same level as ants. Looking at the extent of the damage on this immortal cultivator’s body, it was obvious that he had been gravely wounded by an enemy. It didn't matter if it his enemy found his whereabouts or if the cultivator himself awoke in anger, the both of them would be finished. Unfortunately Yu Jingfeng had already brought the cultivator back and the two of them had no way out of the situation.
