Chapter 640: What's Meant to Come Will Come
Mo Wuji picked up the rings, feeling somewhat grateful. There was even a Celestial Emperor's ring among them, which undoubtedly contained a wealth of good things. Zhuo Ping'an hadn't taken it, but instead brought it back to him, without even touching the ring's restrictions. It was clear that Zhuo Ping'an was indeed an upright person.
Of course, Mo Wuji also understood Zhuo Ping'an's meaning: if the Thunder Sect investigated, Mo Wuji would have to step forward and admit that he had killed the Thunder Sect members.
Regardless, Mo Wuji owed Zhuo Ping'an a favor. Even if Zhuo Ping'an hadn't given him these rings, he wouldn't deny it. In fact, anyone with a brain would realize that the Thunder Sect members were killed by Mo Wuji.
Otherwise, who else would be willing to become enemies with the Thunder Sect?
Mo Wuji didn't immediately ask Su Xi to see the Da Kun Buddhist Lamp. He knew that Su Xi was currently lost in grief, and he needed to give the little nun some time.
After returning to his room and setting up restrictions, Mo Wuji first took out Qi Junyi's ring. Qi Junyi was killed by Zhuo Ping'an, so it was easy for Mo Wuji to break the ring's restrictions.
When Mo Wuji saw the contents of Qi Junyi's ring, he finally understood how generous Zhuo Ping'an was.
Just the superior grade celestial crystals numbered in the hundreds of millions, definitely exceeding 150 million. This was only a small portion of his wealth. The celestial spiritual herbs and refining materials were at least level five, with most being level seven or higher.
As for various celestial artifacts, pills, and talismans, they were piled up like mountains. Mo Wuji even suspected that this was a sect's warehouse.
Next were the jade slips containing cultivation techniques. Mo Wuji's spiritual will scanned them briefly, and there were countless divine abilities and a dazzling array of cultivation methods.
"This guy is a mobile department store," Mo Wuji thought, increasingly surprised. He even found Thunder Crystal Stones, which could not only provide cultivation for Thunder-attribute cultivators but also be used to refine Thunder-attribute magical treasures. This was a level nine refining material, extremely valuable.
Finally, Mo Wuji took out a cyan pearl. When he scanned it with his spiritual will, he discovered that it was a mobile celestial spiritual herb garden.
The celestial spiritual herb garden was placed in the ring because it contained all five elements, as well as light and dark elements. Not to mention the various celestial spiritual herbs, the value of the herb garden itself was immeasurable.
However, that wasn't all, because he also saw two massive celestial spiritual veins in the herb garden. From their aura, Mo Wuji immediately knew that they were superior grade celestial spiritual veins.
"Truly worthy of being a Celestial Emperor, this is too wealthy." Mo Wuji felt that he was already rich, but aside from the Hongmeng Vitality and the Chaos Fire Mother Crystal, everything else he had combined couldn't compare to a corner of Qi Junyi's ring.
As for the rings of the other three cultivators, although they were also rich, they were still not on the same level as Qi Junyi's.
Mo Wuji sorted and categorized everything, throwing it all into the Immortal World, and then put a large pile of celestial crystals into his own ring.
Originally, he had planned to continue learning to refine grade eight celestial pills, but now that he had so many superior grade celestial crystals, he changed his mind.
With so many celestial crystals, he naturally had to cultivate. Pill Dao was secondary; cultivation was the main path.
Piles of celestial crystals were directly thrown out by Mo Wuji, and he used them to set up a top-grade spirit gathering array.
Mo Wuji knew that his cultivation method was different from others. He needed too many celestial crystals for cultivation. If it weren't inconvenient to enter the Immortal World here, he would have planned to cultivate using spiritual veins in the Immortal World.
Millions of celestial crystals were piled up by Mo Wuji, and as soon as the spirit gathering array was activated, all of Mo Wuji's meridians began to reverse the flow of celestial energy.
Streams of celestial spiritual energy were drawn out, and within a short time, a terrifying cloud of celestial spiritual energy formed around Mo Wuji.
In just half an hour, even the people in the rooms adjacent to Mo Wuji knew that Mo Wuji was cultivating. The commotion caused by Mo Wuji's cultivation was too great. Even in a place like the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Pavilion, he could create such a faint vortex of absorbing celestial spiritual energy.
Fortunately, Zhuo Ping'an and Han Long lived on either side of Mo Wuji. They both knew how heaven-defying Mo Wuji was and were accustomed to his cultivation methods.
As for Su Xi, she seemed to have grown up overnight after her master's death. After learning that Mo Wuji had entered secluded cultivation, she organized her master's belongings and also began secluded cultivation.
...
Two months passed in the blink of an eye. Piles of celestial crystals were reduced to dust under Mo Wuji's ravenous absorption. Although Mo Wuji's cultivation was improving, reaching the mid-stage of the Grand Yi Immortal realm was still a distant prospect.
Mo Wuji also understood that cultivation was a long accumulation of years. No matter how good one's aptitude, without opportunities, one had to take things step by step. Sometimes, even with opportunities, one needed to consolidate the foundation. Cultivation was not something that could be achieved overnight for anyone.
Mo Wuji chose to temper his body, partly because his thunder tribulations were too strong, and partly because he was worried that his progress was too fast, causing his physical body to be unable to withstand it.
There was still a long time before the Tower of the Gods opened. Mo Wuji focused on solidifying his cultivation. He knew that Zhuo Ping'an and Han Long would not disturb him before he came out of seclusion.
To Mo Wuji's surprise, Han Long, knowing that he was in seclusion, sent him a message saying that Ku Zhu, the City Lord of the Heavenly Abyss Immortal City, had invited him.
If it were anyone else, Mo Wuji would have ignored it, but he had to come out of seclusion for Ku Zhu's invitation. Not only had he received Ku Zhu's strong support during the transaction at the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Pavilion, but Ku Zhu had also implicitly stood by his side when he helped Su Xi.
Ku Zhu had helped him so much, and he hadn't even gone to thank him yet. Now that Ku Zhu had invited him, he naturally couldn't refuse.
"Big Brother Mo, are you going out?" As soon as Mo Wuji came out of seclusion, Su Xi sensed it and quickly came out.
After two months of adjustment, she completely understood her situation and knew that if she left alone without following Mo Wuji, she would definitely die.
Mo Wuji sighed inwardly as he looked at Su Xi. She was still the beautiful little immortal nun, but her eyes no longer held the pure, untainted clarity they once had. Instead, they contained some hatred. Even her address for him had changed from "Senior Brother" to "Big Brother."
A blank sheet of paper takes many years of dust-free purification, but it only takes one night to put something on it.
Mo Wuji nodded. "Su Xi, you should stay here and cultivate, striving to improve your cultivation. In this place, no one will dare to do anything to you, as long as you don't go out casually."
With Zhuo Ping'an here, Mo Wuji believed that no one would dare to commit violence at his residence.
"Yes, Big Brother Mo, I will stay here," Su Xi bowed in salute.
...
The Heavenly Abyss Immortal Pool wasn't really an immortal pool, but a place similar to a garden club on Earth.
Here, one could drink the finest celestial wines of the Immortal Realm and eat the most delicious celestial fruits. It was also the best place for gatherings.
What Ku Zhu, the City Lord of the Heavenly Abyss Immortal City, was most proud of wasn't that he owned the Heavenly Abyss Immortal City, but that he had a Heavenly Abyss Immortal Pool.
As soon as Mo Wuji arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Pool, a pretty welcoming immortal maiden came over. "Welcome, Celestial Pill Refiner Mo..."
"You are Celestial Pill Refiner Mo? Celestial Friend Mo Wuji who saved my sect's Yuan Yi and his disciple?" A gentle voice sounded in Mo Wuji's ear.
In just a breath, a monk and a nun appeared before Mo Wuji.
The monk appeared to be of medium build with a jade-like face and very handsome features. This wasn't what Mo Wuji was paying attention to. Mo Wuji noticed that when the monk stood before him, it was as if he were a perfect, flawless world. This was definitely a Celestial Emperor, but it was unknown whether this monk was in the early or late stage of the Celestial Emperor realm.
The nun was older. Her wide Daoist robe concealed her figure. From her aura, Mo Wuji could tell that this nun's cultivation wasn't low either. She should be no less than Kui Fengyun, whom he had met in the Yongying Immortal Domain. Mo Wuji knew that Kui Fengyun was a quasi-Emperor back then, so this nun should also be a quasi-Emperor.
"It seems what's coming will eventually come," Mo Wuji sighed and returned a salute with clasped fists, saying, "I am indeed Mo Wuji. May I ask who you two are?"
Mo Wuji wasn't afraid of these two. Da Huang was by his side, and he wasn't afraid of Lun Cai either. These two monks and nuns wouldn't scare him.
The monk clasped his hands together again and said in a gentle and resonant voice, "This humble monk is Guang Nian of the Da Kun Buddhist Sect. This is my Da Kun Buddhist Sect's Dharma Protector, Tai Sha."
The nun also clasped her hands together towards Mo Wuji, giving a Buddhist-immortal salute.
"Haha... your Da Kun Buddhist Sect isn't poor. I heard that your Da Kun Buddhist Sect's Buddha Medicine Valley has piles of top-grade celestial spiritual herbs," a hearty laugh came, followed by a tall man with a face like a knife cutting his way over.
This man was like he was in the clouds, Mo Wuji could not see his strength at all. Just this voice gives a kind of oppressive momentum, show this man is powerful. Mo Wuji eyes narrowed slightly, he is sure the strength of this man in front of the fear is stronger than Zhuo Ping An.
Behind the man, there was a pretty woman dressed in red. The woman looked very young, with her cloud-like long hair tied into a maiden's bun and beautiful eyes like paintings. She was another beauty.
Guang Nian smiled slightly and saluted with hands clasped together again, "Da Kun Buddhist Sect Guang Nian has met the Celestial Emperor. The Celestial Emperor's divine abilities are becoming more and more boundless and vast, beyond our reach."
Celestial Emperor? Mo Wuji's heart stirred. Celestial Emperor wasn't a description of cultivation, but the ruler of an Immortal Domain. Guang Nian called this man Celestial Emperor, and Mo Wuji wondered which Immortal Domain he ruled.
"Easy, easy, Grandmaster Guang, please come in. I'll chat with Celestial Pill Refiner Mo for a few words," the man said casually.
Although Guang Nian still wanted to say a few words to Mo Wuji, he had no choice but to say, "In that case, this little monk will thank Celestial Pill Refiner Mo later."
After speaking, Guang Nian led Dharma Protector Tai Sha into the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Pool.
