”Come on up.” A warm voice sounded. Following which, a golden path appeared from above and paved its way to Mo Wuji and Kun Yun.
Mo Wuji was extremely sensitive to the Dao Laws of Heaven and Earth. The moment this golden path appeared, he immediately noticed that it was from a Dao Law which he had never interacted with before. Originally, he wanted to ask Kun Yun about it. However, Mo Wuji noticed that Kun Yun had stepped onto the path with a lowered head, seemingly not having any intentions to speak. Thus, Mo Wuji could only forget about it.
This is not right. The instant Mo Wuji's feet stepped onto the golden path, a deep sensation of danger struck him.
Mo Wuji did not hesitate to step back. After suffering those years ago, he had a strong trust in his sixth sense.
At almost the same time, Kun Yun also stepped off the golden path. He bowed and said, ”Great Sage, Kun Yun's current cultivation is very low. If I enter the Sage's mountain like this, it would be disrespectful to the Great Sage. I can only request for the Great Sage to return me the items that I left behind with you. When Kun Yun recovers his cultivation, he would come back and work for the Great Sage.”
What kind of person was Kun Yun? He was unable to notice anything amiss with the golden path. However, Mo Wuji cultivated the Mortal Dao. Since Mo Wuji seemed to notice something, that meant that it was truly possible that something was wrong. Even though he had the Tao Tie Pot and wasn't worried of what the Great Sage could do to him, he still believed in those words of Mo Wuji: It's better to be safe than sorry.
It was true that the Great Sage was magnanimous and just. However, so many years had passed. Who could know whether the Great Sage had changed? There was no need to talk about the Great Sage, didn't he, Kun Yun, also change? If someone had treated him the way that Mo Wuji does, he would have extracted that person's soul and used it as a lamp. How could he work with a person like Mo Wuji? Moreover, why would he even have given so many cultivation resources to Mo Wuji?
”That's fine. These are your things. You can go and cultivate peacefully. If you need anything, you can always come and find me.” As the Great Sage was speaking, a storage ring appeared from the sky and floated in front of Kun Yun.
Kun Yun accepted the ring. He didn't look in it before he bowed deeply in gratitude, ”Many thanks to the Great Sage for safekeeping Kun Yun's treasures. Kun Yun will definitely repay this debt. Kun Yun will take his leave now. Wishing the Great Sage limitless fortune.”
”You can leave and cultivate. Being able to escape God Burial Cave and obtaining a suitable fleshly body is also considered your fortune. This Mo Wuji that came with you, however, will need to stay.” The voice said indifferently.
Kun Yun's heart pounded. He hurriedly said, ”Because Mo Wuji is young, he doesn't know too much about manners. I seek the Great Sage's magnanimity to forgive him.”
Mo Wuji was his most important loop. If anything happened to Mo Wuji, then there would no longer be any meaning for him here. If not for the fact that the Great Sage would definitely know that he had arrived at the Resting Land of Gods, he definitely wouldn't have come here.
”Of course I wouldn't blame his lack of courtesy. It's just that he cleaved the primordial spirit of one of my disciples. My Resting Land of Gods is not a place without order. I will need to punish him to face the wall in solitude for 10,000 years. After these 10,000 years, he is free to leave.” The voice was still calm.
Kun Yun's heart sank. He subconsciously glanced towards Mo Wuji.
How could Mo Wuji not know Kun Yun's meaning? Not only did he not step onto the gold path, he retreated backwards and said in a manner which was neither haughty nor servile, ”This Lord had not investigated the matter carefully but you are already attributing punishment. Could this be the Sage Dao that you pursue?”
It's over! When he heard Mo Wuji's words, Kun Yun's heart sank. He knew that things had gone south. Min Yuan's power was valiant and without equal. Otherwise, he couldn't have fought with Sages while in the Quasi-Sage Stage, nor would he have named his God Throne as the Great Sage.
Everyone knew of Min Yuan's just. However, there was also a problem about him; he loved to be at the top and respected by everyone. At the same time, he didn't like it when people questioned his authority.
Mo Wuji had just arrived at the Resting Land of Gods and he already scolded the Great Sage. This clearly wasn't a simple matter.
Before Kun Yun could try to ameliorate the situation, a golden hand imprint came pressing down.
This hand grabbed Mo Wuji. Under the might of this golden hand, all space was sealed. Even Kun Yun found it hard to move.
Kun Yun sighed. He really wanted to resist and escape with Mo Wuji. If he still had his former power, that might have been possible. However, he didn't even have 0.01% of his former power. It was already amazing that he could borrow the Tao Tie Pot to protect himself.
Even if he could use the power of the Tao Tie Pot to escape, he wouldn't be able to save Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji harrumphed and the Laws of Space around him suddenly changed. The Laws which sealed the space had been blocked by Mo Wuji's Mortal Dao Laws. Mo Wuji was instantly freed. Immediately, he struck out with a finger.
