Chapter 870: The Land Of Tian Ji (2/2)

And even though his spiritual will couldn’t be released, Mo Wuji still had his spiritual eye.

Condensing his spiritual eye, a vast and boundless swamp appeared in front of Mo Wuji. What’s different from usual was that this swamp was inclined downwards. Additionally, there weren’t any signs of life in the swamp; even the puddles around the swamp were all dried up.

At the centre of this downward-sloping swamp, there stood the huge stone. When Mo Wuji saw that stone previously, he estimated that it was only 300 meters at the very most. But now, he could see that this huge stone was at least multiple times of that. At the top of this huge stone, there was indeed another piece of stone laying horizontally. Two words could be seen on the horizontal stone - Tian Ji.

As Mo Wuji moved forward, the natural elemental energy around him got thicker. In less than a single breath’s time, the space around him suddenly started to bend and a violent force began to tear at Mo Wuji’s body.

Even though Mo Wuji had a late stage God Physique, trails of blood still started to form throughout his body.

At this instant, Mo Wuji finally understood why no one was able to escape. The Laws of Heaven and Earth over this area were too strange. He had his Book of Luo but his Book of Luo couldn’t even be activated. Perhaps he might be able to use his Book of Luo once he fully refines it, but for now, he wasn’t able to use it at all.

Even with his spirit storage channel, he was unable to make use of his defensive treasure. There was no need to talk about others; it was definitely impossible for them to use their defensive treasures.

That fella that managed to escape definitely must have been a physique tempering expert.

Just as Mo Wuji thought of this, he suddenly felt a pain akin to ant bites over the injuries that just formed over his body. Following which, a layer of faint white smoke oozed out from his injuries.

Mo Wuji's detoxification channel immediately went into reverse circulation. Very soon, the remaining meridians all joined it in circulation. As this happened, smoke continuously got expelled from Mo Wuji's injuries.

Mo Wuji was inwardly very impressed. The spatial distortions that could easily tear through the bodies of cultivators actually weren't the most terrifying threats here. Instead, it was the poison which entered him without him even noticing it.

If he didn't have his detoxification channel, he would have already died by now. Even though he was a Tier 9 Pill Emperor, he wasn't sure that he could resolve this poison through his pills alone.

Since the two people that went ahead of him were still alive, it was clear that the two of them were truly impressive. Mo Wuji did have some idea as to how powerful Hu Chisheng was. This fella had lived for god knows how many years, and if he wasn't strong, he wouldn't have been able to kill Han Long’s ancestor, Han Yi.

On the other hand, if the other fella was really Lei Hongji and if Lei Hongji was really still alive, then he would need to reevaluate Lei Hongji's strength.

Mo Wuji proceeded with greater caution and speed. Soon, Mo Wuji reached the edge of this strange swarm. To his astonishment, he discovered that the huge stone, which should have been near the centre of the swamp, was now further in the depths of the swamp.

Indeed, this was a peculiar place.

As Mo Wuji stood at the edge of the swamp, his spiritual eye saw that there was only one direction in the swamp where the natural elemental energy was getting thicker. The other directions were much weaker in comparison.

Mo Wuji did not hesitate to enter into the swamp.

The spatial distortions got stronger and stronger; the pressure that Mo Wuji's body had to bear also got increasingly terrifying. At this instant, Mo Wuji really appreciated the fact that he was a true physique temperer. Otherwise, he really would have died by now. Perhaps he could try retreating, but he had a faint premonition that he wouldn't be able to retreat.

His physique tempering technique also went into circulation. What delighted Mo Wuji endlessly was that this place was actually very suitable to temper his body.

Moreover, as the spatial distortions caused more injuries to form throughout his body, more poison was absorbed into his detoxification channel. The poison was converted into a form of elemental energy and this elemental energy was able to strengthen Mo Wuji's body at a hitherto unheard of pace.

Mo Wuji had been stuck in God Physique Level 7 for a very long time. But this time, he only needed a short moment to step into God Physique Level 8.

If not for the secrets of Tian Ji and the fact that Lei Hongji was a step ahead of him, Mo Wuji would have stayed here to cultivate. After all, this place was truly too suitable to temper his body.

…

With his spiritual eye, Mo Wuji saw that this swamp was vast and boundless. However, in reality, this swamp wasn’t really without an end.

At the end of the swamp, there was a door. Behind that door, there was a hall with no walls. If the walls couldn't even be seen, one could only imagine how vast this hall was. If not for that door and the hard ground, perhaps this place would simply be the void.

At this instant, there were three people facing each other in the hall.

If Mo Wuji was here, he would definitely have recognised one of them as Leo Hongji. Even though Lei Hongji might be disguised and the two of them didn't have many encounters, Mo Wuji would still be able to immediately notice Lei Hongji's intense lightning-type dao aura.

Among the other two, one was an old man with a slightly blurred face while the other was a young woman.
