Having his primordial spirit almost taken away from him, this resulted in an additional trace of a shadow in Meng Ye's heart. In fact, he didn't even wish to continue his 'journey' with Mo Wuji.

However, he thought of how Mo Wuji still had the Phecda Clay. Moreover, he was also curious about how Mo Wuji was able to casually execute his sacred arts here. Because of these reasons, he clenched his teeth as he made his decision to gamble on this.

Without the Phecda Clay, his life would probably stagnate from here.

Rumours spread that there was only one piece of the Phecda Clay in the entire universe. It could possibly be the piece which Mo Wuji had with him. If he were to miss this opportunity, it would be equivalent to him limiting the future of his Grand Dao.

”I'll bring you there.” Meng Ye spoke with his teeth clenched.

Having said that, he executed his forbidden technique. Very soon after, he managed to sense the energy of the carved runes.

”This way.” Meng Ye indicated to Mo Wuji before leading the way.

After half an incense worth of time, he and Mo Wuji arrived at the deepest depths of the Mei Clan Manor. This place should be a lotus pond but today, there were no longer any lotuses around. There was still some water accumulated in the middle of the pond.

Throughout this process, both Mo Wuji and Meng Ye were not ambushed.

”Right in the middle of this pond. I'm certain that I'm not wrong because I could feel the energy of my carved runes here.” Standing by the side of the pond, Meng Ye said confidently.

Mo Wuji's spirit storage channel's spiritual will seeped through but it was blocked off very soon. An old and mottled stone gate blocked his spiritual will. This stone door gave Mo Wuji an odd feeling as if it wasn't made of stone. Instead, Mo Wuji felt like it was made of a type of miserable grief.

Mo Wuji retracted his spiritual will before asking. ”Does that Dui Zhaoren likes to absorb cultivators' primordial spirit to cultivate?”

Meng Ye shook his head. ”No but he did have a sacred art which could do this. In fact, this sacred art could allow his cultivation level to grow rapidly. Rumours spread that he can even become a Sage but he chose not to cultivate this way. I suspect that after the cataclysm, Dui Zhaoren altered his cultivation technique.”

”I am going down to take a look. Are you coming with me?” Mo Wuji looked at Meng Ye. He would get Meng Ye to wait for him here if he wasn't planning to head down.

”Of course I am going down with you.” Meng Ye replied without any doubts.

He was certain that Mo Wuji had more techniques to survive in this place than he did.

Mo Wuji hurried down as Meng Ye followed closely behind. While he was hurrying down, Mo Wuji's spirit storage channel's spiritual roots could sense an energy prying on his surrounding. However, that energy didn't act against Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji guessed that he should be afraid of his Spiritual Will Arrow.

Because of that energy prying on his movements, Mo Wuji chose to reduce his speed. After an incense worth of time, he came to a halt with Meng Ye. Both of them arrived in front of a mottled stone gate.

There were three words written on that stone gate: Sage Verification Gate.

At the sight of this gate, Meng Ye's expression turned ugly drastically.

”Dao Friend Meng, what happened?” Mo Wuji looked doubtfully at Meng Ye.

Meng Ye pointed at the stone gate with a trembling hand.” The outer layer of skin on this gate. That is…”

Noticing Meng Ye's trembling voice and look of disbelief, Mo Wuji asked. ”Does it belong to one of the Three Rogue Sages, Dui Zhaoren?”

Meng Ye looked shockingly at that as he replied. ”Yes, it is indeed Dui Zhaoren's skin. I've interacted with Dui Zhaoren for countless years. I am definitely able to recognise his energy.”

Even a fool would be able to tell that Dui Zhaoren wasn't the one who ambushed Meng Ye previously. With his skin scraped off his body to make this stone gate, how was it possible for Dui Zhaoren to deal with Meng Ye?

”This stone gate seems very difficult to breakthrough.” Mo Wuji circulated his spirit storage channel as he spoke.

”Even I am unable to open this gate.” Meng Ye added with a worried expression.

This stone gate was condensed with Dui Zhaoren's dao spirituality who was, after all, a Quasi-Sage expert. A stone gate condensed from his dao spirituality and a supreme array. It was indeed something the present Meng Ye couldn't open.

Yet another trace of shadow was formed in Meng Ye's heart. Back then, Dui Zhaoren was still a Quasi-Sage expert. Even so, someone could peel his skin to make this door and even took over this place. How could this fella be weak?

Mo Wuji asked abruptly. ”Dao Friend Meng, I believe this person has been waiting for your arrival.”
