Chapter 678: The House Beneath The Lake Of Poison
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Once in the Lake of Poison, Mo Wuji felt a cold sensation on his skin. Even though he was of God Physique, he could sense that vitality was leaving his body rapidly.
What impressive poison this was, no wonder Immortal Emperors couldn’t enter the lake. Those cold sensations were just an illusion, when in reality it was caused by poison which would eat away at one’s vitality and primordial spirit.
Mo Wuji’s detoxification channel began its major circulation, converting the poisonous substances that seeped in his body into immortal spiritual energy after one round.
However, just as Mo Wuji absorbed the immortal spiritual energy from the first round, more poison entered his body. Now he understood that even with his detoxification channel, he couldn’t stay in the Lake of Poison for very long, unless he continuously cultivated.
Continuous cultivation was not on Mo Wuji’s agenda though. He was worried that he would detoxify the entire lake while he cultivated, which would lead to countless experts rushing into the lake once there was no poison.
The first thing he did wasn’t to follow the directions on the map, instead he opened his spiritual eye. A woman like Leng Yulin couldn’t be trusted.
What made Mo Wuji heave a sigh of relief was that even though this Lake of Poison could obstruct his spiritual will, it couldn’t do the same for his spiritual eye. A radius of a thousand meters around him was as clear as day with it.
This Lake of Poison seemed to be deeper than the Extreme Glade Sea, as he took almost an incense’s worth of time before seeing the bottom of the lake.
It was pitch black, except for a few black rocks and messy piles of skeletons. These skeletons had been corrupted by the poison in the lake completely, appearing dirty and extremely frightening.
As Mo Wuji began to go in the direction markedout on the jade slip, a large black door came into sight within half an incense’s time. There was actually a building at the bottom of the lake, and this door seemed like the only way in.
He tried to knock down the door with a punch, but to no avail. Mo Wuji was aware that with his current cultivation level, without some special means, it would be seemingly impossible for him to open the doors.
The grade of this defensive array wasn’t that high, but all attempts to break the array to enter failed. The only method left was to forcibly break in. Array flags were thrown out one by one, together with piles of immortal crystals that were sent into the array base formed by the array flags. A good four hours later, Mo Wuji had set up his own array to boost his attack.
After setting all of this up, he still did not attack immediately. First, he set up another array to conceal all aftershocks, before drawing out a large hammer, striking blow after blow at the black door.
…
At this moment, the cultivators surrounding the Lake of Poison had gradually dispersed, as it usually meant that a person was crippled after two hours in the lake. Four hours without any news meant the person was most likely dead, and Mo Wuji was in his sixth hour in the lake. If he could live, it would be highly unusual.
Leng Yulin who was standing at one side also sighed, mumbling to herself, ”Useless.”
The things she gave away weren’t that cheap, so she couldn’t leave that soon. One Tier 4 antidote immortal pill, a jade bottle with a transfer array, and a jade slip that could transfer items, these items were rather valuable. Hence it was quite a pity for her to throw them all away into the Lake of Poison.
If she knew that Mo Wuji was such a useless person, she wouldn’t have invested to much in him. Luckily this guy did not want to sleep with her, otherwise her losses would have been even greater.
…
”Boom!” Mo Wuji’s giant hammer landed on the black door, and the supportive attack array also shot a blast on energy out.
The power of the hammer more than doubled in an instant, causing the black door to begin shaking. Seeing this, Mo Wuji attacked relentlessly, swinging the hammer time after time, landing strike after strike.
A few hours later, a ‘crack’ could be heard from the black doors, which made Mo Wuji mad with joy. Then, he swung the hammer down even harder for the last few times.
”Crack!” The doors finally broke apart from the center, revealing a giant crack where dense water type aura seeped out. With a wave of his hand, tens of array flags were thrown out, containing the aura that had leaked out, while he leapt through the doors himself.
At the same time, a grey clothed man stared at the center of the Lake of Poison from the side of the lake without blinking. He was sure that his eyes did not play tricks on him, and the center of the lake seemed to have had some activity, with the ripples still propagating outwards.
