”Then what do we do?” The paleness on Qu You had faded by a bit.

”No matter whether we can leave or not, we have to try now.” Just as Mo Wuji finished those words, this primordial trap array started to release rumbling sounds. A foreign dao aura started to seep in. This time, there was no need to talk about Qu You; even Cen Shuyin could sense the threat of death and danger.

Mo Wuji lifted his hand and punched towards the location of his Mortal Halberd. Space started to reverberate but it ultimately didn't move.

Mo Wuji's heart sank. His idea didn't work.

He had placed the Mortal Halberd at the entrance of the primordial trap array. When he communicates with the Mortal Halberd, he would use its power to tear open the array. However, he couldn't even punch a hole through this array. How could he communicate with his Mortal Halberd?

When he opened his spiritual eye, Mo Wuji could clearly see the dao runes of this primordial array changing. With his knowledge, how could he not know that this meant that the dao runes were gradually being refined by someone? If all the dao runes were refined, then he would no longer have a chance to escape.

Cen Shuyin and Qu You's abilities were too weak. There was no need to talk about helping. Even if they went all out, they would not even cause a tremor within this space.

”Shuyin, Qu You, the moment you see a tear, you need to let go of all inhibitions towards me allow me to take you away.” Mo Wuji was prepared to use his Seven World Finger to continuously attack this primordial array. As long as he could cause a tiny tear to form on this array, he could communicate with his Mortal World and send Cen Shuyin and Qu You away.

After which, he could go all-out and deal with Luo.

”En, we understand.” At this moment, Cen Shuyin's thoughts were all on Mo Wuji. She hated herself for having such a low cultivation. If she was in the Quasi-Sage Stage, she might at least be of help to Mo Wuji.

What she did not know was that she wouldn't be able to help Mo Wuji even if she was in the Quasi-Sage Stage.

After instructing Cen Shuyin and Qu You, Mo Wuji furiously used his Seven World Finger.

Besides the Seventh Finger, Returning Mortal, which he had yet to understand, the remaining six fingers were used multiple times. However, no matter what finger he used, and even if he used the six fingers consecutively, it still wasn't enough to do anything to this primordial array.

Months passed. Besides using various kinds of sacred arts, he even made use of self-exploding attacks. Even so, this primordial space was only shaken by his attacks; there were no signs of tearing.

Sensing Mo Wuji's anxiety, Cen Shuyin walked to Mo Wuji's side, hugged his arm and said, ”Wuji, if fate doesn't allow us to leave, then let's stay here at husband and wife. Even if it's just for one day, it would beat being separated for tens of thousands of years.”

Mo Wuji's heart shook. He stopped forging array runes. He suddenly remembered a distant time. He and Xia Ruoyin were cuddling on the footpaths beside paddy fields, quietly listening to sound of the summer cicadas.

At that time, everything else wasn't important. He only wanted the quiet and warmth in front of him. He suddenly thought of Wen Xiaoqi. While he was cuddling with Xia Ruoyin, was that girl who loved him to her bones watching him from afar? Was she thinking that she would be contented if she could spend even a single day like this with him?

He once thought that if he were to spend his time with Cen Shuyin, a short time definitely wasn't enough. Thus, he wanted to continuously cultivate and continuously increase his longevity. It was best if they could spend eternity together.

His spiritual eye opened. This space was clearly going to be completely refined soon. At the very most, it would take one to two days. At the very least, it could be refined by the very next instant.

With such a short time, he wouldn't be able to break out this array even if he tried his very best.

Since that's the case, why was he wasting his time? Why not give the remaining time to Shuyin?

It was as Shuyin had said. Since they could not be together forever, then enjoying a single breath together would also be enough.

Everything went clear in Mo Wuji's mind. He stopped forming array runes and held Shuyin's hands. His heart had completely calmed down.

”Wuji, I have some regrets.” Cen Shuyin tightly held Shuyin as they sat on the ground. Her voice seemed to come from a distance; it sounded like a whisper.

”What regrets?”

”Back in Lost Continent, I regretted separating from you. Back then, I should have left with you, I should have been a rogue cultivator…”

”We didn't know each other well then.”
