Ji Li didn't mind and said casually, "Ask away."

"My first question is, I obtained some stones like these. Can you tell me what they are and what they're used for? My second question is, can you tell me why there was a War of the Gods? And what exactly is the Gods Tower Battlefield?" Mo Wuji said, tossing a celestial lattice stone to Ji Li.

Yu Minjiang was so concerned about the celestial lattice stone, which indicated it was an extremely valuable item. Mo Wuji knew Yu Minjiang wouldn't tell him the truth, so he simply didn't bother asking. Now that he had encountered Ji Li, he might as well inquire.

"This is a Mind Crystal..." Ji Li said excitedly as soon as she took the celestial lattice stone.

Mo Wuji didn't speak; he knew Ji Li would definitely explain it to him.

Sure enough, Ji Li quickly suppressed her excitement, took a slow breath, and said, "I don't know the reason for the War of the Gods, nor can I know the division of the Gods Battlefield, so I cannot answer your second question.

The War of the Gods hasn't happened just once or twice; legend has it that there was a War of the Gods in ancient times. Each time, countless powerhouses fell. These powerhouses possessed boundless powers and contained countless rules of heaven and earth. Their spiritual seas were even combinations of various heaven and earth rules. After they fell, their spiritual seas collapsed, but the aura of their Daoist thoughts and rules didn't disappear. Over time, with the accumulation of years and the scouring of heaven and earth's Dao rhythm, a unique crystal formed. This crystal is the Mind Crystal.

Each Mind Crystal contains the aura of the rules of the ancient heaven and earth universe and possesses the aura of the Great Dao. So, for any cultivator, it is a priceless treasure, even allowing one to trace back to a trace of the origin of chaos. For cultivators like us trapped in the Lock God Array, the value of Mind Crystals is immeasurable."

No wonder he felt something was off the first time he touched that black stone. It seemed to contain a powerful Dao rhythm of heaven and earth. It turned out that this thing was formed from the spiritual sea of a powerhouse and contained a trace of the powerhouse's Great Dao rules.

"I must also ask Senior Sister Ji Li about the specific uses of Mind Crystals for you," Mo Wuji said, cupping his fists.

Ji Li continued, "The reason why the Lock Immortal Array is so powerful is that most places are constantly changing. For example, the place you just walked through might be safe, but the next time you walk through it, that place could become a trap. Many powerhouses trapped in the Lock Immortal Array were trapped because they couldn't find a way out over time and were eventually locked up.

In the Lock Immortal Array, not only is essence locked, but even the spiritual sea is locked. However, the heaven and earth rules of the Lock Immortal Array cannot bind the heaven and earth Dao rhythm rules comprehended by the ancient gods. This rule transcends the rules of the Lock Immortal Array. For example, your Starry Sky Token is such a thing. Mind Crystals are the same, but their preciousness is far less than that of the Starry Sky Token.

As long as there are enough Mind Crystals, trapped cultivators can use their divine sense to open their locked spiritual seas and rescue themselves. Moreover, these Mind Crystals are of great help to us in comprehending divine powers and Dao rhythms and in comprehending our own world of rules."

Mo Wuji suddenly understood why that old thing, Yu Minjiang, was so eager for celestial lattice stones. It turned out that the old guy also wanted to escape.

"So that's how it is. We all treated this thing as a celestial lattice stone. Many of my friends used celestial lattice stones to condense their celestial lattices before," Mo Wuji replied.

Ji Li sighed, "That's such a waste of treasure. Using Mind Crystals to condense celestial lattices… how much treasure would that waste?"

"Is there something wrong with that? Will condensing a celestial lattice with a Mind Crystal limit the development of an immortal?" Mo Wuji asked.

He had heard that many talented disciples didn't use celestial lattice stones to condense their celestial lattices.

Ji Li explained, "Mind Crystals are formed from the Dao rhythm rules in the spiritual seas of ancient powerhouses. If there is a limit, then there is indeed a limit, and that is that it limits your path to the advancement path of the ancient powerhouse. In other words, a cultivator who condenses a celestial lattice with a Mind Crystal will never be able to surpass the former owner of that Mind Crystal in his entire life.

But how strong must the powerhouse whose spiritual sea could condense a Mind Crystal be? Even if you don't use a Mind Crystal, no one can surpass these ancient powerhouses, right? Besides, after using these Mind Crystals, your comprehension of heaven and earth Daoist thoughts will be faster and more thorough, which is an advantage. And that's not all, Mind Crystals are also a treasure for refining artifacts."

Mo Wuji shook his head. It seemed that he was really worrying too much. Not only was he worrying too much, but so were those guys who didn't understand the true effect of Mind Crystals. Could using something else to condense a celestial lattice be as good as using a Mind Crystal?

"Did you also condense your celestial lattice with a Mind Crystal?" Ji Li suddenly asked.

"No," Mo Wuji thought to himself. He didn't even have a celestial lattice, and he didn't even have a primordial spirit. He was just a mortal without spiritual roots. He was able to cultivate to this point because he had opened up his meridians for cultivation.

Ji Li continued to explain, "The reason why it's said that using something like a Mind Crystal to condense a celestial lattice is a waste is that the celestial Dao rules extracted by a cultivator who condenses a celestial lattice from each Mind Crystal is far less than one ten-thousandth of what's in it. Once that part of the celestial Dao rule is extracted, the Mind Crystal will completely collapse. So, using Mind Crystals to condense celestial lattices is the greatest waste."

No wonder Han Qingru used so many celestial lattice stones to condense her celestial lattice. It turned out that they were all wasted by her.

"Moreover, there is also a great hidden danger for low-level cultivators using Mind Crystals to condense celestial lattices..."

"What is the hidden danger?" This time, Mo Wuji interrupted her before Ji Li could finish. All of his first few friends had used celestial lattice stones to condense their celestial lattices. If there was a hidden danger, that would be terrible.

Ji Li replied, "Although it has been a long time since the ancient gods fell, there are still some scheming powerhouses who imprint a trace of their thoughts on some Mind Crystals. Once you encounter such a Mind Crystal, it is very likely that you will be doing a wedding dress for others and be seized by a powerhouse."

Mo Wuji fell silent. Sure enough, there was still a danger.

After a long while, Mo Wuji asked, "Senior Sister Ji Li, why don't you ask me for Mind Crystals?"

Ji Li said with great shame, "You didn't take anything from my father, and you even came to send me a message. What face do I have to ask you for Mind Crystals? Although I have some things in my ring, I can't open my ring now. If I give you the ring, it's estimated that you wouldn't be able to open it in a few hundred years."

Mo Wuji sighed inwardly. The difference between people was just too great. If that Yu Minjiang had treated him sincerely, it wouldn't have been a problem for him to give the guy some celestial lattice stones. To him, celestial lattice stones really weren't of much use.

"How many celestial lattice stones do you need to leave here?" Mo Wuji suddenly asked.

"A hundred thousand celestial lattice stones, perhaps…" Ji Li said with some uncertainty.

Mo Wuji took out a ring and threw it over. "This ring doesn't require divine sense, just a thought can open it. There are a million celestial lattice stones inside. Oh, wait a moment..."

After saying that, Mo Wuji grabbed a crystal ball and engraved the route indicated on his Starry Sky Token into it, and threw it to Ji Li along with the ring. "This is the route to get out of the Lock Immortal Array. Whether you can get out in the future will all depend on yourself."

Ji Li took the things and was slightly stunned. She had never seen a cultivator as generous as Mo Wuji. Among all cultivators, the emphasis was on the exchange of benefits. Like for like. Nothing for nothing.

She hadn't helped Mo Wuji, but Mo Wuji had given her so many celestial lattice stones, ten times more than she had said. With these million celestial lattice stones, she was absolutely confident that she could break free from this willow branch and regain her freedom.

As Ji Li's thoughts swirled, she felt that she understood Mo Wuji's meaning, and quickly said, "If it's fast, I estimate it will take several hundred years to break free, and if it's slow, it won't take more than ten thousand years. At that time, I will take you out together..."

Mo Wuji waved his hand, "I can't wait that long. I'm leaving. Good luck, and I'll see you again if we have fate."

After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he gathered his spirit eye and turned to leave. Giving Ji Li a little more celestial lattice stones so that she could come out could be considered as fulfilling a purpose of entering the Gods Tower. Moreover, Ji Li was a descendant of a True Star cultivator, so it was right to help her out.

Ji Li's face heated up. It turned out that Mo Wuji didn't intend to ask her for help at all. Thinking of this, she hurriedly called out to Mo Wuji, "Wait… I'll give you this Star Buckle."

After speaking, Ji Li pulled on the necklace around her neck and accurately threw it into Mo Wuji's hand.

Mo Wuji caught the Star Buckle in his hand and immediately felt a faint fragrance, as well as some warmth. A warm and vast aura permeated from it, and Mo Wuji knew that this was definitely a top-grade treasure. In his eyes, the little celestial lattice stones he had given to Ji Li were not worth mentioning at all, and were nowhere near the value of this treasure.

Before Mo Wuji could return the Star Buckle, Ji Li said, "If you don't want this Star Buckle, I will be too embarrassed to accept your things."

Mo Wuji looked at the Star Buckle, which resembled a star, and had no choice but to say, "Since that's the case, then I'll accept it."

"Can I know your name?" Ji Li asked, her tone much more relaxed after seeing that Mo Wuji had accepted the Star Buckle.

"My name is Mo Wuji, and I'm a rogue cultivator." Mo Wuji casually hung the Star Buckle around his neck and began to move outwards carefully.

There were dangers everywhere in the Lock Immortal Array. Even though he knew which direction he could leave in, he didn't dare to walk around randomly.

…

Su Xi stood up. The primordial energy in the Gods Tower was terrifyingly dense. She had only been in closed-door cultivation for a few years, but she had actually rushed into the Grand Zhi Immortal Realm. Not only that, but she hadn't even encountered a thunder tribulation.

In her opinion, three years should have passed, and she was now preparing to go out.

Perhaps, among all the cultivators who entered the Gods Tower, she was the only one who hadn't entered the second level in three years.

Just as Su Xi walked out of her place of closed-door cultivation, a violent spatial fluctuation came from not far away from her. If Mo Wuji hadn't repeatedly told her not to, she would have couldn't resist the urge to summon the Great Kun Buddha Lamp.

"Boom!" Half an arm fell from the sky, directly smashing onto the ground only a dozen feet away from her, and then sank in.

The first thing Su Xi saw was a ring on the fingers of that half arm. Her divine sense quickly scanned the surroundings and found no suspicious traces.

At this moment, the Gods Tower Token on her body seemed to be vibrating, emitting faint rays of light.

The Gods Tower was about to close. Su Xi rushed to the place where the half arm was, grabbed the ring, and put it in her pocket.

Just as she finished doing this, a faint light enveloped her and whisked her away.
