As he waited for Tian Hen's Sage aura to stabilise, Mo Wuji frowned. He was also a Sage, but when he stepped into the Sage Stage, he felt as though he was missing something. Now that he could personally witness Tian Hen stepping into the Sage Stage, he was sure that he was indeed lacking something.
It wasn't because the Sage Stage didn't have a Lightning Calamity. Instead, it was because he could tell that the Sage Stage wasn't the peak of the Dao.
”Thank you, my lord.” After Tian Hen's aura stabilised, the first thing he did was to thank Mo Wuji.
After borrowing the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth to step into the Sage Stage, Tian Hen's admiration towards Mo Wuji grew deeper. This was because he was still unable to discern Mo Wuji's exact cultivation. In his eyes, Mo Wuji was still an ordinary-looking mortal.
”Tian Hen, have you heard of what's above the Sage Stage?” Mo Wuji waved his hand and said.
Above the Sage Stage? Tian Hen jolted but he promptly answered, ”According to rumours, there are three people that were close to going above the Sage Stage. They all wanted to control this universe but they ultimately failed. In this universe, the Sage Stage is the peak. There is nothing above the Sage Stage.”
”Who are the three?”
”One of the three is Luo, the one that previously fought with the Lord. This person's talents are exceptional and he obtained the nine Dao Laws of the Universe. Not only that, he was able to fuse with the Sword of Fortune. The Sword of Fortune's sharpness is incomparable. After fusing with the Sword of Fortune, his accomplishments would be unsurpassable and no one would be able to defeat him…”
Mo Wuji chuckled, ”Tian Hen, you are wrong. Luo's greatest failure was fusing with the Sword of Fortune. Otherwise, his accomplishments would be higher. It is because he fused with the Sword of Fortune that he is confined in this universe.”
When Tian Hen heard Mo Wuji's words, he was slightly stunned. As a Sage, his intelligence was naturally not something that ordinary people could compare to. In the blink of an eye, he understood Mo Wuji's words and he immediately bowed towards Mo Wuji, ”My Lord's words are like a blow and a shout. It has allowed me to understand more about the traces of dao.”
Mo Wuji nodded, ”There's no need for you to worry. You borrowed the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth to validate your Dao and you have a God Throne. In the future, you will still have a chance to improve further. This is completely different from Luo. Luo is one with the Sword of Fortune. He probably wanted to take a shortcut but the Dao has no shortcuts. Choosing to fuse with the Sword of Fortune was his mistake. The only way he could advance any further is to gather all nine Dao Laws of the Universe. But now, he would never have that opportunity.”
After stepping into the Sage Stage, Mo Wuji understood more about the enigmatic principles of the universe.”
”Yes.” Tian Hen was delighted. He believed that Mo Wuji would not lie to him. He never thought of exceeding Mo Wuji. However, how could he not feel happy knowing that he had greater room for growth than Luo?
”The other two people are Guang Yezhang and Wu Liang. These two also failed in their attempts to transcend the Sage Stage. Thus, in this universe, there is no one above the Sage Stage. At the same time, no one knows what is above the Sage Stage.” Tian Hen finished respectfully.
Mo Wuji didn't ask any further. He retrieved the Primal Mothersteel, ”Your fire is impressive. It is actually able to injure me. Take it and let me have a look.”
What Mo Wuji wanted to do was to use Tian Hen's Samadhi True Fire to melt the Primal Mothersteel. If it still wasn't enough, then he could only think of ways to advance his Scholar's Heart.
When Tian Hen heard Mo Wuji's words, he fearfully brought out a ball of flames and said, ”To atone for my acts against the Lord, this fire shall be given to the Lord.”
”I do not want this fire. Can you try whether it is able to melt this material of mine.” Mo Wuji opened his palm and threw out the hill-sized Primal Mothersteel.
”This is Primal Mothersteel?” Tian hen finally recognised this hill-sized thing. The reason why he didn't immediately recognise it was because his Samadhi True Fire had injured Mo Wuji. There was another reason. Never in his imagination would he have thought that there would be Primal Mothersteel the size of a hill.
”That's right, this is Primal Mothersteel.” Mo Wuji smiled and answered, then he gestured for Tian Hen to use the Samadhi True Fire to burn the Primal Mothersteel.
Tian Hen hurriedly said, ”My Lord, the Primal Mothersteel cannot be melted with the Samadhi True Fire.”
Mo Wuji frowned. If even the Samadhi True Fire couldn't melt the Primal Mothersteel, then what use did he have for this hill-sized Primal Mothersteel?
”My Lord, it's said that the Primal Mothersteel is a treasure that formed when the primordial chaos first split apart. It could be inscribed with Dao Laws…”
When Mo Wuji heard this sentence, his eyes sparkled. Since this was a treasure that could be inscribed with Dao Laws, then could he use his Mortal Dao Laws to turn this Primal Mothersteel into a halberd?
