Mo Wuji slung the Heaven Machine Staff across his back and, cradling the jade coffin, rushed out of the Extreme Ice Sea's light sphere.

The familiar starscape scene reminded Mo Wuji of not long ago when Cen Shuyin carried him, recounting her childhood as she charged into the Extreme Ice Sea's light sphere.

Years had passed, and he and Cen Shuyin had emerged once more. The only difference was that Cen Shuyin was now in the jade coffin.

"Shuyin, I will find a small world as soon as possible and plant it full of flowers by your side. Eventually, one day, I will bring you to your mother so you won't be lonely anymore," Mo Wuji murmured, stroking the jade coffin beside him.

After a long while, he finally put the jade coffin into his ring. Flying in the starscape meant encountering all sorts of starscape beasts at any time. If he encountered a starscape beast swarm, it would be inconvenient to carry the jade coffin. There was no life force in the ring, so he couldn't plant flowers or trees, which was why he had always been reluctant to put the jade coffin inside.

With a sigh, Mo Wuji took out his circular spaceship. Shuaiguo, sensing Mo Wuji's bad mood, didn't dare to say a word and consciously shrank into a corner of the spaceship. Mo Wuji wasn't in the mood to pay attention to Shuaiguo. He took out his starscape orientation sphere and activated the spaceship, which quickly left the Extreme Ice Sea's light sphere.

His starscape orientation sphere wasn't high-grade and still didn't display any directions. Those six Human Immortals he had blasted to death must have had a lot of good things on them. Unfortunately, once the laser cannon was fired, even he couldn't control it. Those six Human Immortals were already reduced to ashes, let alone getting their rings.

After flying continuously in the starscape for several days, Mo Wuji stopped. He wanted to advance to the True God Realm and it was best to return to Zhen Mo Continent. The starscape was vast, but its Dao rhythm rules were extremely vague, making it difficult to advance to the True God Realm here.

Returning to Zhen Mo Continent meant that there was a high chance of a great battle. If he was recognized, someone would definitely cause trouble for him. His current strength was much higher than when he was chased down a few years ago. But compared to true experts, he still had a long way to go. After all, he hadn't even entered the True God Realm.

When he was at the True Lake Realm, he could kill a Void God Realm cultivator because these two realms belonged to the Earth Realm. When he was at the Void God Realm, he couldn't necessarily kill a True God Realm expert. Maybe he could defeat a True God Realm, but killing one at his current level was too difficult. After all, the True God Realm belonged to the Heaven Realm and was a level of existence that had passed through the six-nine lightning tribulation.

Mo Wuji was about to find someone in the nearby starscape to get a more complete starscape orientation sphere when a dazzling light streaked across the starscape from afar. It looked like a sphere or a shining boulder. And what surprised Mo Wuji was that the light that cut through the starscape also carried an unspeakable Dao rhythm aura.

Mo Wuji looked at the sphere that streaked across the starscape and disappeared into the distance with confusion, wondering what it was. Even if meteorites carried light, they couldn't have this kind of Dao rhythm aura. It was a mysterious and elusive aura that he couldn't grasp but had an urge to obtain.

Several spaceship shadows quickly flashed through Mo Wuji's spiritual will. The direction these spaceships were heading was clearly where the shining boulder that cut through the starscape had disappeared.

This thing is a treasure! Mo Wuji almost instantly determined it. Otherwise, others wouldn't be rushing over so eagerly after seeing it.

Could it be a Tribulation Stone?

At the thought of a Tribulation Stone, Mo Wuji immediately became excited. He hadn't obtained many resources in the sect, but he had obtained quite a few spoils of war. Among them, many introduced various kinds of heaven and earth treasures, and the Tribulation Stone was one of the treasures that everyone yearned for.

Tribulation Stones generally appeared in the starscape and the endless void, emitting a spiritual rhythm light throughout. Mo Wuji wasn't sure if that spiritual rhythm was the white light he had seen earlier.

If it really was a Tribulation Stone, it was definitely something he desperately needed.

The Tribulation Stone allowed cultivators to undergo tribulations on it and obtain the purest advanced spiritual energy supplement. This wasn't actually the most important use of the Tribulation Stone. After all, even without the Tribulation Stone, as long as one's own strength was sufficient, one could undergo tribulations in another place.

What truly made people frantically snatch and want to possess the Tribulation Stone was that after undergoing tribulations on the Tribulation Stone, the Tribulation Stone would be destroyed, and the tribulation passer could comprehend a divine ability.

Divine abilities were legendary weapons. Could even the most top-notch technique compare to a divine ability?

How did the three great families of Star Emperor Mountain rise? Wasn't it because they obtained divine abilities in the Half-Moon Immortal Palace? It was said that what they obtained were pseudo-divine abilities. A pseudo-divine ability was enough to make the three great families stand tall in Star Emperor Mountain and become the top forces in Zhen Mo Continent. What if they could obtain a true divine ability on the Tribulation Stone?

Tribulation Stones existed in the starscape all year round, condensing from the spiritual rhythm aura of heaven and earth. Once you saw such a thing, you had to use it immediately and couldn't put it in your ring. Once it was put in your ring, that kind of heaven and earth spiritual rhythm would immediately dissipate. Even if you obtained it, it would be equivalent to obtaining a piece of garbage.

Moreover, there weren't many rings that could put the Tribulation Stone inside.

Therefore, those cultivators who hadn't reached the lightning tribulation realm could only stare blankly after seeing the Tribulation Stone. The Tribulation Stone was most suitable for Void God Realm Perfection or True God Realm Perfection cultivators.

If a Human Immortal Realm cultivator underwent tribulations, the Tribulation Stone would still have the effect of comprehending a divine ability on the Human Immortal Realm.

However, Human Immortal Realm Perfection was extremely rare. Even if there were a few, they were all in seclusion, deducing their own Dao techniques. How many would have time to wander in the starscape? Only Void God Realm cultivators and True God Realm cultivators were most likely to encounter a Tribulation Stone.

After guessing that what had just streaked past might be a Tribulation Stone, Mo Wuji immediately turned his spaceship around and rushed over at the fastest speed.

He must get the Tribulation Stone.

...

Only a few days later, Mo Wuji realized that his prospects of obtaining the Tribulation Stone weren't optimistic. It wasn't just him who had discovered the Tribulation Stone; almost all the cultivators in this starscape had discovered it. Some cultivators from elsewhere had even received the news and were rushing over quickly.

Mo Wuji simply put away his spaceship and said to Shuaiguo, "Grab my shoulder, I need to speed up."

Shuaiguo was perceptive and jumped onto Mo Wuji's shoulder. Mo Wuji put away his spaceship, and a gentle breeze stirred around him, then he disappeared from the spot.

Mo Wuji's Wind Escape Technique was at the sixth level peak. At this moment, his cultivation had advanced to the Void God Realm peak. Although using Wind Escape Technique in the starscape would drop one level, his speed was still getting faster and faster. Later, a faint breeze automatically accompanied him, and he didn't need to stir his elemental energy at all.

Was he about to break through to the seventh level of Wind Escape Technique?

Just as Mo Wuji thought of this, he felt his body lighten, and he felt like he had turned into a wisp of smoke, illusory and ethereal.

He had really broken through to the seventh level of Wind Escape Technique. Mo Wuji's depressed mood from not being able to advance to the True God Realm for a long time finally eased a little.

Not being able to step into the True God Realm, being able to advance the Wind Escape Technique was also a great thing.

After reaching the seventh level, Mo Wuji's speed was getting faster and faster, and he soon passed one spaceship after another. But no matter how many spaceships he passed, there were still spaceships rushing forward at full speed in front of him.

Mo Wuji swept his spiritual will and saw that many cultivators on the spaceships were at the Void God Realm ninth level. Some even had Void God Realm eighth level cultivators speeding up to rush forward.

There was another benefit to undergoing tribulations on the Tribulation Stone: even if you hadn't reached the time of tribulations yet, if your cultivation was not far from the time of tribulations, you could sense the lightning tribulations on the Tribulation Stone, and your cultivation would advance to the late-stage perfection at the fastest speed.

The only thing Mo Wuji was glad about was that he hadn't seen True God Realm Perfection cultivators yet. There were one or two True God Realm cultivators, but they had just entered the True God Realm not long ago. These guys were also looking for the Tribulation Stone, undoubtedly wanting to occupy the Tribulation Stone and then let a suitable person go up.

Tribulation Stones in the starscape were naturally used for people to undergo tribulations. Once someone chased it, as long as their cultivation reached a certain level and their speed reached a certain level, the Tribulation Stone would consciously slow down. This slowdown wasn't stopping; its speed was still beyond the reach of many ordinary cultivators.

After continuously using Wind Escape for three days, Mo Wuji had already seen the Tribulation Stone in the distance still escaping in the starscape. Now that the Wind Escape Technique had reached level seven, Mo Wuji's speed had exceeded the Tribulation Stone's escape speed.

Just as Mo Wuji was getting closer and closer to the Tribulation Stone and was about to approach the Tribulation Stone, an extremely stern voice came, "Hey kid in front, stop for this grandpa. The Tribulation Stone is not something that an ant like you can touch."

Shuaiguo, standing on Mo Wuji's shoulder, rolled his eyes when he heard this stern shout. This guy called himself grandpa, so he must be very powerful, right?

Mo Wuji acted as if he didn't hear it and stepped forward, directly about to step onto the Tribulation Stone.

Just as Mo Wuji was about to step onto the Tribulation Stone, a cold light cut through the starscape and shot directly at Mo Wuji's back heart.

A killing intent filled with death directly invaded Mo Wuji's spiritual will. No matter how much Mo Wuji wanted to step onto the Tribulation Stone, he had to stop at this moment.

The Heaven Machine Staff turned into endless staff shadows and slammed into that cold light. Violent elemental energy exploded, and the starscape was instantly blasted with rays of light by the exploding elemental force.

Seeming to sense Mo Wuji's speed, the Tribulation Stone actually stopped. A boulder dozens of feet in diameter floated in the starscape, emitting a faint spiritual rhythm aura. Even the most ignorant person knew that this was a good thing born from heaven and earth.

The guy who stopped Mo Wuji was also a Void God Realm Perfection cultivator, and his strength seemed very strong. Mo Wuji knew that if he wanted to safely go onto the Tribulation Stone to undergo tribulations, he had to kill the other party.

This Void God Realm cultivator obviously had the same idea as Mo Wuji. He and Mo Wuji almost simultaneously sacrificed the spiritual weapons in their hands and pounced on each other.
