Chapter 981: God King Stage, Entering The Dao City (2/2)

After four consecutive waves of lightning, Mo Wuji saw that Chi Bing only suffered some minor injuries. Although this was related to Chi Bing continuously growing stronger during the process, Mo Wuji knew that it was more likely to be due to Chi Bing's personal strength. Back then, Heavenly Mortal Sect's Pang Jie also underwent his God King Lightning Calamity. However, Mo Wuji felt that Ancestor Pang Jie was far from being comparable to Chi Bing.

Chi Bing's strength was definitely obtained through countless battles.

Dense streams of lightning continued to fall, causing Chi Bing's injuries to get heavier. The god spiritual energy in the air also seemed to turn stagnant. Mo Wuji's spirit instantly fell; he knew that this was due to insufficient preparation. This situation occurred because they didn't have enough god crystals. If there were sufficient god crystals, then Chi Bing's power would rise much faster.

Few powerful auras rapidly approached them. Mo Wuji's heart clenched as a sense of danger loomed over him. He knew that some experts have noticed Chi Bing's Lightning Calamity and were coming to take a look.

Chi Bing also seemed to notice the danger. She uttered a loud cry and the Laws around them suddenly started to shatter. Mo Wuji felt an intense energy rising from Chi Bing's body. A sky-shattering pressure swept out from Chi Bing; Mo Wuji could not help but continuously retreat.

Mo Wuji celebrated in his heart; he knew that Chi Bing had passed her God King Lightning Calamity and had stepped into the God King Stage.

As expected, when Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will out once more, those auras had disappeared without a trace.

Now that Chi Bing had stepped into the God King Stage, Mo Wuji could finally heave a sigh of relief.

A day passed before Chi Bing emerged from the defensive array. She said to Mo Wuji, ”Wuji, I have already stepped into the God King Stage. From today onwards, no one would dare to casually bully us.”

”Congratulations Sister Bing.” Mo Wuji was also extremely elated. Having a God King by his side was far safer than going around alone.

”Let's go. We'll head back first. I need some time in seclusion to stabilise my cultivation.” Chi Bing was also rather delighted. After fighting for so many years, she had finally reached the summit.

Although there were many people stronger than a Level 1 God King, at least no one would find trouble for her without reason. Instances where she was forced by a God King to hide in Coiling Wind Forest for countless years shouldn't happen again.

…

There was only one month left till Nirvana Learning Academy's assessment. On this day, four people and a three-legged beast arrived outside Nirvana Dao City. There were many people heading into Nirvana Dao City. At the same time, there were also many people leaving the Dao City. Thus, the outside of Nirvana Dao City was filled with people.

These four people were exactly Mo Wuji, Chi Bing, Chi Chuan and Da Huang. The three-legged beast was naturally Shuai Guo.

After a few months of seclusion, Chi Bing's cultivation had firmly stabilised at God King Level 1. Mo Wuji's cultivation was also stabilised at Nascent God Level 6. As for Da Huang, he had already charged straight to Nascent God Level 7, the late stage of the Nascent God Stage.

The only ones that didn't improve were Shuai Guo and Chi Chuan. Chi Chuan's talent was below average. Thus, even if he had ample god spiritual energy and god pills, his improvement was still very slow.

This was also why Chi Bing was already a God King while Chi Chuan was still stagnant at Nascent God Level 7.

Mo Wuji already had a plan in his head. If he could enter Nirvana Learning Academy, he would ask whether Chi Chuan was willing to change his cultivation technique and follow him with the Mortal Dao.

”What a grand city…” The hyperactive Shuai Guo was transfixed by the majesty of Nirvana Dao City.

The city walls of Nirvana Dao City were thousands of meters high. A jade road which was hundreds of meters wide led straight through the city gates. If not for the large numbers of people here, the road would look far more majestic.

Nirvana Dao City was a city with city walls. All these walls were shrouded in the mists of arrays and they couldn't be seen clearly. People heading towards Nirvana Dao City could only see the three huge words floating in mid-air - Nirvana Dao City.

”Of course, Nirvana Dao City is the only Dao City in the entire God Continent, and it is also the largest city. If Dew Drop Merchant Union decided to auction that supreme treasure of theirs here, nothing would have happened to them. No one would dare cause trouble in Nirvana Dao City,” Chi Bing answered Shuai Guo.

After a short pause, she continued, ”I'm worried that if we enter Nirvana Dao City now, we might really be unable to find a place to stay.”

”Sister, did we come too late? What will we do if Big Brother Mo is unable to register?” Chi Chuan asked worriedly. He didn't care much about the living situation; if there wasn't any place to stay, then they would just leave the city.

”That definitely wouldn't happen. Even if you come on the day before the assessment itself, it still wouldn't be too late,” Chi Bing shook her head and said.

”Eh, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance has already allocated their hundred placings.” Mo Wuji stopped as he noticed the large array screen on the city wall.

Chi Bing also looked at the array screen and laughed faintly, ”That isn't a problem. Even if there aren't any placings, Wuji would still be able to go for the assessment.”

Mo Wuji was a Tier 5 God Pill King. It was written on the array screen that Tier 5 God Pill Kings that were in the Nascent God Stage would have the rights to participate in the assessment.

”The few of you should be rogue cultivators, right? The placings are actually still available. However, I have to tell you not to overthink things. The current 100th place in the Rogue Cultivator Tournament could beat an average early stage Heavenly God.” A rogue Nascent God chuckled when he heard Chi Bing's words.

”What do you know? My lord is an expert in the Pill Dao. What does a mere placing even count for?” Shuai Guo harrumphed in disdain.

Now that Mo Wuji no longer placed him in the Undying World, it started to act arrogantly.

When this Nascent God heard these words, his mouth arced into a weird smile, ”An expert in the Pill Dao? Hehe, you will know when you go in.”

With that, he no longer waited for Mo Wuji to say anything. He turned and squeezed into the crowd.
