Chapter 750: The Pillage (2/2)
Two hours later, there were no longer any cultivators around him. Thus, he started to collect the treasures.
Mo Wuji started to be picky; he could choose the brighter green crystals, the better immortal herbs, ores and materials, and any complete magic treasure were swept away by him. Anything less would directly be neglected; someone else can take them.
A day soon passed. The higher Mo Wuji soared upwards, the more treasures he picked. At this point, a strange feeling arose in Mo Wuji's heart. He started to feel that he wasn't picking treasures, but rubbish.
Because the green crystals he picked were either damaged or fragmented. The immortal herbs were high tiered, but they look like they were thrown away. There were even bruises on the herbs. As for the ores and smithing materials, they might all be Grade 7 and above, but they were mostly scrapped pieces of processing. As for the magic treasures, they were rather crudely fashioned. Occasionally, there were treasures that exceeded the level of immortal equipment. However, their dao auras were clearly off the mark.
Could it be there someone up there was discarding these trash? And they were merely staying below the garbage chute?
This thought left Mo Wuji speechless. Even though the things he picked up weren't perfect, they definitely weren't trash. Take the green crystals, for example, each of them was better than the highest grade immortal crystal…
As he thought of this, Mo Wuji jolted. He suddenly thought of the immortal crystal dregs back at Half Immortal Domain; they were merely dregs from the processing of immortal crystals. Wasn't this scene similar?
Could it be that there's a higher world beyond the Immortal World?
That's not right. There was indeed a world above the Immortal World, and he knew of that world. It was the Very High Heavens. Mo Wuji immediately shook his head. If anyone said that the Very High Heavens were the ones to throw these things away, he would be the first one to reject it. Even though the things here weren't unique or supreme treasures, most of them were of a higher grade than the immortal herbs and materials found in the Broken World. If the Very High Heavens were that rich, they wouldn't have eyed the things in the Broken World.
Also, as long as he could cultivate, why did he need to care about such things?
Mo Wuji started to selectively pick the items around him. He primarily wanted green crystals; green crystals were able to raise his cultivation, so they were the most intuitive things that he could use.
However, as Mo Wuji got higher, he started to wonder: If he could really reach the other end of this Cosmos Wall, what kind of world would it be?
Just when Mo Wuji thought of this, the power behind the Cosmos Wall's whirlpool force suddenly increased. This force directly shredded Mo Wuji's whirlpool domain. This violent power continued to surge forward and it landed heavily on Mo Wuji's chest.
Even though Mo Wuji tried to activate his immortal elemental energy, he had no means of defending against this force. He felt like he was like a falling meteorite, descending downwards rapidly.
Mo Wuji cursed in his heart as he furiously tried to activate his immortal elemental energy in an attempt to counter this force.
Unfortunately, everything was useless.
”Boom!” A huge hole was blasted into the ground. All the bones in Mo Wuji's body seemed to be out of place and a piercing sensation spread throughout his entire body.
He had been forced out of the Cosmos Wall; Mo Wuji's heart was still filled with lingering shock and fear. Even though he was at God Physique Level 6, that fall almost shattered him. If he didn't have a God Physique, he would definitely have been dead.
As he got through his daze, Mo Wuji finally understood that he wasn't the only one that was expelled out; almost every cultivator here were also expelled out. The entire air was filled with the sand and dust formed from all the impacts.
The Cosmos Wall's time had come to an end; this was Mo Wuji's first thought. Indeed, just as he thought of this, he saw some treasures fall loosely from the Cosmos Wall and scattered in all directions. All the cultivators that were forced out like Mo Wuji started to furiously fight for those treasures.
There were some cultivators like Mo Wuji who also suffered relatively heavier injuries because they climbed too high. They were unable to react quickly, and as a result, they were ambushed and their storage rings were stolen.
A Grand Luo Immortal saw that Mo Wuji seemed to still be in a daze and he directly shot a sword light towards Mo Wuji. Before it could even reach Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji had already sprung out and punched outwards. He easily killed this Grand Luo Immortal and he casually swept away this Grand Luo Immortal's ring.
As he thought of this, Mo Wuji finally understood why he was able to climb the highest. It wasn't merely because of his strong whirlpool domain, but it was also because many people didn't dare to climb as high as him. If one climbed too high, they would be forced out with greater pressure. Even an Immortal Emperor would be heavily injured or killed by that force.
Mo Wuji ruffled his hair. Indeed, the ignorant were fearless. It was due to his ignorance that he climbed that high. In reality, if not for his God Physique, and perhaps if he was even a level lower, his body would be a bloody mess on the ground right now. No wonder why those people looked at him with contempt when he raced upwards. It wasn't jealousy, but disdain.
Seeing that there were many people still pillaging for treasures, Mo Wuji didn't take part. Because of his spiritual eye and the height he reached, he had already obtained enough treasures.
He would leave this place first. He had killed that shop owner, and according to the rules that Lou Si told him, he only needed to be the first to return to that shop to be its owner.
As he thought of this, Mo Wuji's figure flashed and he sped away.
However, before he could even get to 50 kilometres, he was blocked by a force. Before Mo Wuji could check what this force was, he heard shrill cries behind him.
