Chapter 816: Refining Kun Wu (2/2)

”Senior Brother Ape’s insights towards the Laws of Space is far from what we can ever reach.” To be able to kill seven Immortal Emperors that easily, Wen Lan and co. felt deep admiration for Ape Mo. At the same time, a deeper sense of fear towards Dao Emperors rose in their hearts.

Even though they helped, most of the work was done by Ape Mo. If they were the subjects of Ape Mo’s Spatial Imprisonment, then like those Immortal Emperors, they could only face death.

Ape Mo chuckled and said, ”I merely understand a scratch of the Laws of Space. The one with the truly profound understandings towards the Laws of Space isn’t me, but Wuji. In fact, the one who taught me this scratch was Wuji. He’s the most talented cultivator I know.”

”Ah…” Wen Lan and co. were instantly excited. Ape Mo’s use of the Laws of Space had left their hearts cold. If Ape Mo’s understandings were imparted by Mo Wuji, then wouldn’t they also be able to request Mo Wuji to teach them as well?

Wen Lan was more cognizant of Mo Wuji’s character; she knew that Mo Wuji wasn’t a petty person.

”Let’s rush off to Cosmos Edge. Gods Race shouldn’t know that we have left. If the Gods Race experts get wind of it, even if we manage to flee, we would have to pay a price,” Jie Ying recovered his countenance and said hurriedly.

”Alright.” Wen Lan and Lu Ziting agreed strongly. The Gods Race must definitely be planning something huge if they wanted to trap the Human Race on that meteorite. But now, the Human Race finally had an expert to lead them. As long as they could find Mo Wuji, they could find hope.

…

Mo Wuji had installed peak grade defensive arrays around Mifei Trade Union’s territory. At this instant, Mo Wuji was currently sitting within Mifei Trade Union’s deepest cultivation room.

Even though it’s called a cultivation room, there was only an immortal essence pond here. Mo Wuji had seen immortal essence ponds before, but it was rare to see a peak grade one like the one in Mifei Trade Union.

Mists of immortal spiritual energy floated above the immortal essence pond. Mo Wuji knew that if placed some extreme grade immortal veins here and used some green crystals, he would definitely be able to reach the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage in a few years.

However, Mo Wuji also knew that he didn’t have years of time. Perhaps the Gods Race already know about his arrival at Cosmos Edge. That would mean that his war with the Gods Race was imminent.

The main purpose in this seclusion was to refine the Kun Wu Sword.

The reason why he chose to refine the Kun Wu Sword now was sparked by the Book of Luo. During that encirclement by 15 Immortal Emperors, he would have been heavily injured if not for those two pages of the Book of Luo. The Book of Luo had prevented him from heavy injuries; this clearly showed the importance of Xiantian treasures. This also gave Mo Wuji some confidence as he didn’t only have two pages of the Book of Luo, but six.

Additionally, his Spiritual Will Arrow couldn’t be dodged even by a Dao Emperor like Qian Yisa. It was able to directly shatter Qian Yisa’s sea of consciousness. Ostensibly, this showed the power of spiritual will attacks.

He had his violet lake and his Book of Luo. If he also had his Kun Wu Sword, he would have an additional layer of protection, especially if he was facing an expert that also used spiritual will attacks. Moreover, Kun Wu Sword was also a peak grade attack-type treasure. When he goes to exterminate the Gods Race, he would require such a treasure.

Because Mo Wuji didn’t cultivate the sword, he didn’t study Kun Wu in detail after he obtained it. This was the first time he actually took a close look at Kun Wu Sword.

Kun Wu was 3 feet and 1 inch long. It didn’t have a sword guard and a sword knob, but it did have a sword hilt. Its body was fully grey; it didn’t have the splendour of an ancient sword at all.

Mo Wuji casually waved the sword; it was like an ordinary longsword. It didn’t even exude any dao aura. However, Mo Wuji did not mind. He was cultivating the Mortal Dao after all; didn’t he look like an ordinary mortal but was still able to kill Dao Emperors?

Mo Wuji’s spiritual will slowly penetrated into Kun Wu. What shocked him was that he seemed to encounter the Great Way of Hua Gong. [1] The Kun Wu Sword suddenly erupted with power. This power seemed to surge like waves, violently sweeping away his spiritual will.

Facing such an unexpected situation, Mo Wuji’s heart was filled with shock as he hurriedly tried to retract his spiritual will. However, he was soon shocked still; he was completely unable to recover his spiritual will. Not only that, his spiritual will was being sucked away at a faster rate.

Possession? Could there be a primordial spirit hidden within the Kun Wu Sword?

That’s not right. Mo Wuji soon rejected that thought. This definitely wasn’t an act of possession.

From the looks of it, this Kun Wu Sword was rather peculiar. However, even if it was any more peculiar, it was dreaming if it thought it could suck Mo Wuji’s spiritual will dry. Previously, when Mo Wuji was fighting against the 15 Immortal Emperors, he almost depleted his spiritual will. That’s when his violet lake erupted with stronger spiritual will. Because of that, his sea of consciousness expanded and his spiritual will got stronger.

Since this Kun Wu Sword wanted to suck his spiritual will, then he would have to see whether his spiritual will was stronger, or this Kun Wu was stronger.

As he thought of this, Mo Wuji no longer tried to retract his spiritual will. Instead, his spiritual will surged towards Kun Wu Sword like a silver river. Not only that, he even sent his spirit storage channel’s spiritual will towards Kun Wu Sword.
