Chapter 1087: Do You Have It? (2/2)

”The Laws of Darkness is among the Laws that you cultivate. It's just that it seems slightly different from the Laws of Darkness which I passed down.” The elder said directly when he saw Mo Wuji.

”Did you let me in because you knew that I cultivated the Laws of Darkness?” Mo Wuji came to a sudden realisation.

He did not mention anything about Ku Cai even though he suspected that Ku Cai was related to Ku Xinren. [1] He didn't even know that much about Ku Cai. Mentioning Ku Cai might even lead to the opposite effect. Even if he told Ku Xinren about Ku Cai, it would be when he returned the Time Plate.

The old man said indifferently, ”No, it's because you have the spiritual eye. If I didn't let you in, you would still find my gate and break in. As for the Kun Yun, he merely knows that I'm here. Without my permission, he also wouldn't be allowed to enter.”

Mo Wuji awkwardly stroked his chin. It was true that if this old man didn't let him in, he would have broken through the array gate.

”Tell me, why did you come to find me?” This old man's voice was calm. He did not seem delighted at the fact that Mo Wuji cultivated the Laws of Darkness, nor did he seem interested as to how Mo Wuji even learnt about it.

”I heard that Senior has a Time Plate. I would like to trade for it. Of course, if Senior isn't willing to trade, Senior can simply lend it to me.” Mo Wuji knew that it was best to go straight to the point; he could guess that this old man already knew of his motives.

Indeed, when this old man heard Mo Wuji's words, he chuckled, ”Even if you didn't say anything, I would know that you have come to borrow my Time Plate. Over these countless years, many people coveted my Time Plate. Not only does that false gentleman, Min Yuan, covet my Time Plate, he even searched the entire Resting Land of Gods for me. Even so, I, Ku Xinren, am living fine.”

Ku Xinren spoke a good deal, but he didn't say anything about whether he agreed to lend Mo Wuji the Time Plate.

Mo Wuji waited for a long time before he finally asked again, ”Is Senior willing to lend me the Time Plate?”

”No.” Ku Xinren said indifferently. ”You can destroy my living accommodations. I'm old and I won't be able to beat a young man like you. But if I, Ku Xinren, want to hide, even a real Sage can forget about finding me. If you don't believe me, you can try.”

Mo Wuji went silent; he believed Ku Xinren's words. Ku Xinren cultivated the Laws of Darkness. Even though his spiritual eye could see through all falsehoods, it could only work within a certain boundary. If Ku Xinren really entered into the darkness, then it would be as he said, even a Sage wouldn't be able to find him.

”Senior, that Time Plate is extremely important to Junior. Also, Junior will not lend it for free. Senior only needs to state a price. As long as Junior is able to bring it out, Junior will definitely do it,” Mo Wuji said seriously.

He still had a supreme treasure of creation, the Furnace of Heaven and Earth. If he was asked to leave the Furnace here as a deposit, he would definitely do it. Moreover, while he was speaking, Mo Wuji already started to form void array runes. It took him much difficulty to get to this place; he wasn't going to simply allow Ku Xinren to leave.

After his spirit storage channel secretly formed some array runes, Mo Wuji sighed in relief. Ku Xinren's abilities powers had clearly declined greatly; he could only monitor Mo Wuji's sea of consciousness but he couldn't detect Mo Wuji's spirit storage channel.

Ku Xinren said indifferently, ”You wouldn't be able to offer a good price. My Time Plate is a supreme treasure of fortune. Do you have a supreme treasure of fortune to leave here as a deposit? Even if you do, I wouldn't lend my Time Plate to you. My Time Plate is much more valuable than your supreme treasure of fortune, so why would I lend it to you? Of course, I do need some items. However, you definitely wouldn't have them, so I would only be wasting my words.”

Mo Wuji could detect the corrosive energy in Ku Xinren's aura. His heart pounded and he hurriedly asked, ”Does Senior need a treasure to reconstruct a fleshly body?”

Ku Xinren sneered, ”You are right. However, the treasure I need would need to simultaneously construct the fleshly body, primordial spirit and soul. It must also be a thing that can extend one's Dao. For example, do you have a Seed of the Universe? Or the Paramita Flower? Or even the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo?”

Mo Wuji's heart was rolling with excitement. He had never seen the Seed of the Universe before, but he had seen the Paramita Flower. As for the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo, he had one on him.

”Senior, these items are all priceless treasures. This is especially so for the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo, it's priceless even among priceless treasures. Even if Junior has such an item and gives it to Senior, Senior would only lend the Time Plate?” Mo Wuji took in a deep breath and said slowly.

Mo Wuji didn't even know the true function of the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. To raise its value, he particularly praised it greatly.

Ku Xinren shot Mo Wuji a glance of disdain, ”You are wrong. Among the three items, the least valuable one is the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. Of course, it is true that the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo is priceless even among priceless treasures. This is because this Bamboo is especially useful to me. The Bamboo requires the energy of creation to grow. When it matures, the planet that this Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo would be thoroughly destroyed. Moreover, the Bamboo is extremely hard to preserve. Such a thing could not be preserved in the primitive world. As time passes, it would gradually erode.”

Mo Wuji came to a sudden realisation. No wonder why Kun Yun didn't covet his Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. So it turns out that fella knew that the Bamboo would corrode as time passed. Unfortunately, that fella didn't know of his Mortal World.
