Chapter 711: Leaving Sword Prison (2/2)
”What a cunning kid. These mere prey dare to escape in front of me? Stop dreaming.” That skeleton man waved his hand, and all the sword qi in the area, which could cause even Immortal Emperors to quiver in fear, started to form an invisible sword qi circle within this man’s palm.
At the next instant, that skeleton stared at Sword Qi River in shock. He muttered to himself in disbelief, ”To think that someone could enter the river? And to bring to many people in with him? That’s an amazing physique tempering technique…”
That skeleton man hastily sped to the side of Sword Qi River, and without hesitation, he jumped right in.
This Sword Qi River which could tear one’s flesh and soul did not seem to be able to do anything to this skeleton man.
Even though he knew that Mo Wuji and company would not be able to leave from Sword Qi River, his heart was still filled with rage. The Vine Mountain of Safety was that old monster’s; so he did not dare to touch it. But now, the ants that he had been rearing in that desert had actually escaped. If this went on, when would he be able to leave?
Because he knew how vast Sword Qi River was, he knew that he would not be able to find Mo Wuji. If he knew that it would end up like this, he would not have allowed them to slowly grow, but directly grabbed them into his sword qi whirlpool.
…
Six hours later, Mo Wuji stopped. The directional light from Bai Ye’s eight trigrams disc had disappeared.
”Bai Ye, what’s going on?” Mo Wuji frowned and said.
This place clearly wasn’t the exit because it was no different from the other parts of Sword Qi River. They were still standing on hard and firm rock, and they were still being surrounded by river water.
Bai Ye was also dumbfounded. When he heard Mo Wuji’s question, he hurriedly said, ”Sect head Mo, let me try again.”
Bai Ye sat down and activated his eight trigrams disc once more. After two more hours, his eight trigrams disc still was not able to condense another arrow. No matter how many dots of light came out from the disc, they would quickly vanish.
Everyone turned to look at Bai Ye with suspicious gazes. Bai Ye acted as though he did not notice the gazes as he extended one of his hand and placed it on the eight trigrams disc while his other hand continuously formed hand seals.
Mo Wuji stared closely at Bai Ye’s hand seals. He was sure that Bai Ye was no longer borrowing the power of the eight trigrams disc to determine the direction. Instead, Bai Ye was truly performing his divination. Bai Ye’s hand seals were profound and enigmatic. Even Mo Wuji, this progenitor of the meridian cultivation technique, was unable to see through the meaning behind Bai Ye’s hand seals. He could only feel that each hand seal of Bai Ye contained the Great Dao of the Heaven and Earth, and each movement of each tremor contained some indescribable dao aura.
Another four hours passed. By this time, Bai Ye’s face was already as pale as a piece of white paper. He finally stopped his hand seals and he opened his eyes and said, ”Sect head Mo, this is really the exit.”
”Everyone, stand behind me. I will go in and take a look.” Mo Wuji could tell that Bai Ye wasn’t lying.
After the group all came close to him, Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye.
A faint void transfer rune appeared in front of Mo Wuji. This transfer rune was enigmatic and complex. It seemed to encompass a boundless dao aura of the Array Dao.
Mo Wuji’s heart was filled with glee. So it was true. There was no need to talk about how this was the exit. Just the dao aura contained within this transfer rune was enough for him to make a huge improvement in his Array Dao.
Mo Wuji’s dao revelation channel started to circulate furiously as it continuously tried to gain insights from this enigmatic transfer rune.
Seeing Mo Wuji’s figure shifting continuously, and feeling the dao aura in the surroundings forming powerful ripples, no one dared to do anything. Even Bai Ye didn’t dare to make a single move.
Multiple days passed, Mo Wuji finally released a long groan. Thereafter, he started to draw runes in mid air.
This was the first time Mo Wuji used rune drawing to form a transfer array. He was sure that this method would be pivotal and meaningful towards his future in the Array Dao.
Multiple days passed and Mo Wuji finally drew the final rune.
A faint exit appeared in front of everyone. Everyone was so emotional that their eyes started to turn red. After being trapped in Sword Prison for so long, they had finally found the exit.
Even the Immortal Emperors found their hearts racing. They had already gotten used to the torture and suffering here in Sword Prison, they had already gotten used to the fact that there might not be a chance to leave. But now that the chance had presented itself in front of them, how could they not be emotional?
However, no one dared to move, because Mo Wuji still hadn’t said a word.
Mo Wuji’s eyes were still tightly closed, and he didn’t utter a single word. After drawing the runes to this void transfer array, he felt that his understanding towards the Array Dao had made a huge improvement. This was his first step in officially joining the ranks of Grade 7 formation masters.
At this instant, he was organising his understandings and insights towards the void array runes.
After half an incense’s time, Mo Wuji finally opened his eyes. He turned and spoke to the group, ”This should be the transfer array out. Wei Zidao will leave first. Then, it will be Nie Chongan, Cha Rui, Su Zi’An, Fei Ling, Yu Junsai, Dong Sha, Lu Ming, Hai Zhenkui, Fan Wa, Bai Ye, Jian Mingcheng, Han Qingru, then I will be last.”
When he heard that he could also leave, Bai Ye’s heart was filled with emotions. He knew that Mo Wuji definitely had a meaning behind this arrangement. However, he didn’t intend to look for trouble, so he would just leave the moment they exited. He had really grown to fear Mo Wuji. If not for this mysterious Sect Head Mo, there was no need to talk about entering Sword Qi River. Even if he managed to find this place, he wouldn’t be able to open this transfer array gate.
