Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 643: Dao Emperor
The yellow-robed youth announced nearly twenty names before stopping. Although some sects whose names weren't called felt disappointed, they didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect to this youth.
Feeling the respect shown to him, the yellow-robed youth nodded with satisfaction, then said, "Originally, the selection of disciples with excellent qualifications to go to the Grand Supreme Heaven required an assessment, followed by a separate selection conference. However, because the Tower of the Gods is about to open, the assessment has been waived to save time. Besides recruiting these disciples, I'm here in the Gods Immortal Domain to finalize the entry plan for the Tower of the Gods. Therefore, I don't have time to visit each sect one by one. I'll take advantage of this banquet hosted by City Lord Ku to share this news.
Please, all immortal friends here today, convey this message to those sects that didn't attend. Tell them about the disciples we're selecting and not to delay their journey to the Grand Supreme Heaven. Next, I need to discuss the specific details of the Tower of the Gods' opening with City Lord Ku Zhu and Heavenly Emperor Ou Gu, so I won't delay your gathering. When the time comes, I will ask City Lord Ku Zhu to present the small gifts prepared by our Grand Supreme Heaven for everyone."
As the yellow-robed youth prepared to leave, Mo Wuji felt a sense of relief. Upon learning that the youth was here for the Tower of the Gods, he became worried, fearing that his possession of the Starry Sky Token might be revealed. Although only that Nai He knew about it, who could be sure Nai He wouldn't tell others? Nai He was also in Heavenly Chasm Immortal City, perhaps even in this Heavenly Chasm Immortal Pool.
City Lord Ku Zhu also stepped forward and cupped his fists apologetically to the crowd, "Fellow immortal friends, I, representing Heavenly Chasm Immortal City, invited everyone here today. However, due to matters concerning the Tower of the Gods, I cannot keep you company. Please forgive me. Rest assured, once the Tower of the Gods' affairs are concluded, I, Ku Zhu, will personally come here to apologize and present the gifts brought by the Grand Supreme Heaven. Finally, I wish everyone a pleasant time in the Heavenly Chasm Immortal Pool."
Since Ku Zhu was accompanying the envoy from the Grand Supreme Heaven to discuss matters, everyone naturally exchanged courteous remarks.
After Ku Zhu, Ou Gu, and the yellow-robed youth left again, Mo Wuji heard Gai Ao's voice in his ear, "Immortal Pill Master Mo, do you have some time?"
Mo Wuji saw Sa Jian and Ni Ju walking away, knowing that now wasn't the best time to kill these two guys. He had to wait.
"Of course, I have time. I wonder what Heavenly Emperor has to instruct me. Mo Wuji will humbly accept it," Mo Wuji concealed the murderous intent in his heart.
Gai Ao smiled slightly, "You shouldn't have any murderous intent here. Even if that sickly scholar isn't here, even if he is, you'll be doomed if you kill someone from the Great Sword Dao."
Mo Wuji felt a jolt in his heart, realizing he seemed to have walked into a dead end. It was that the Great Sword Dao killing him, Mo Wuji, wouldn't be a big deal, but if he killed someone from the Great Sword Dao, he would be on the run again.
He had always assumed everyone was on the same level, but Gai Ao's slight reminder made him suddenly aware. With his mere status as a Seventh Grade Immortal Pill Emperor, he was far from being on the same level as the Great Sword Dao. Despite having many acquaintances, if he really went to war with the Great Sword Dao, probably no one would help him. It would be good enough if they didn't kick him when he was down.
"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor, for the reminder. Mo Wuji will remember it," Mo Wuji sincerely thanked him this time.
Gai Ao smiled faintly, "Come with me."
"Aunt Yang, didn't you say you had something to discuss with Immortal Pill Master Mo?" Seeing Mo Wuji and Gai Ao leave, Mo Xianmo asked with some confusion.
Actually, she herself wanted to ask where Mo Wuji came from. Mo Wuji shared the same surname as her, and she even suspected that Mo Wuji might be her clansman.
Qing Yang watched Mo Wuji's back and said with a smile, "Originally, I wanted to pair Ruo Yue with Mo Wuji…"
"Mother…" Qing Ruoyue exclaimed in surprise, unaware of this matter until now. It was her first time meeting Mo Wuji today, and to talk about such things was absurd.
Qing Yang said sternly, "Ruo Yue, you must not underestimate this Immortal Pill Master Mo. I am very clear about his origins. He comes from the Yongying Immortal Domain…"
"Could he be a cultivator who ascended from the Yongying Immortal Domain?" Mo Xianmo asked in confusion.
Qing Yang took a breath and said with even more admiration, "If he were just an ascended cultivator, I wouldn't value him so much, or even investigate his background. I believe you all know about the semi-Immortal Domain of the Yongying Immortal Domain. It's a piece of trash created by the Yongying Immortal Domain destroying its own Great Wall. Basically, cultivators from the semi-Immortal Domain have no chance of coming to the Immortal World. But this Mo Wuji crossed the Immortal Chasm and arrived at Yongying Corner…"
"What?" Even Qing Ruoyue looked at Qing Yang in shock.
As members of the Azure Immortal Tower, they were too familiar with the Yongying Immortal Chasm. Even Profound Immortals, and even Great Yi Immortals, had a nine-out-of-ten chance of dying if they entered that place. Mo Wuji arrived at the semi-Immortal Domain, at most he was just an Earth Immortal, even if he was a Celestial Immortal, so what? How could he cross such a place with ten deaths and no life? He was still a Pill Master. Generally speaking, Pill Masters have the lowest combat power.
Qing Yang nodded, "What I said is true. After this person arrived at Yongying Corner, he killed Golden Immortals with the strength of a Celestial Immortal. Before the Yongying Immortal Domain sent out experts, a cultivator who forcibly crossed the Immortal Chasm could dominate Yongying Corner. How much time has passed, and he has grown to this point, even with a powerhouse like Zhuo Ping'an by his side. In time, how could this person be confined to a pond? Ruo Yue, although you have a nine-star aptitude and are the head of the Seven Fairies of the Azure Immortal Tower, this Mo Wuji is worthy of you. Don't underestimate him because he has no foundation or backing. His potential is amazing."
Qing Ruoyue also fell silent. She knew that what her mother said was true. Mo Wuji had no foundation, which meant he was a grassroots figure in the Immortal World. A grassroots figure who could grow to Mo Wuji's level with his own strength was definitely not an ordinary person.
"If I'm not mistaken, Gai Ao is probably thinking the same thing. He wants to find a son-in-law for his daughter, Gai Feiyan. He probably wants to bring this Seventh Grade Immortal Pill Emperor, Mo Wuji, into his Six Paths Immortal Domain," Qing Yang said, watching Mo Wuji and Gai Ao disappear.
"Ah, then Aunt Yang, why did you let Immortal Pill Master Mo leave like that?" Mo Xianmo asked in surprise.
Qing Yang smiled slightly, "This is one thing at one time only. If Ruo Yue hadn't been selected by the Grand Supreme Heaven, Mo Wuji would be the best choice. But now it's different. Ruo Yue is about to go to the Grand Supreme Heaven. How many geniuses are there in the Grand Supreme Heaven? There are still people like Mo Wuji. Besides, Mo Wuji really doesn't know how to restrain himself. Relying on his talent, he has become somewhat inflated and has offended too many people. In such a short time, he has offended the Thunder Clan, Lun Cai, the Immortal Pill Dao Alliance, the Great Sword Dao… It's certain that this kind of person will offend even more people in the future. Although this kind of person is capable, he is also a double-edged sword. Since Ruo Yue has a better choice, it's better to abandon him."
Qing Ruoyue's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly. She didn't like her mother's calculating methods. But then she understood that she was going to be a person in the Grand Supreme Heaven, and she and Mo Wuji would definitely not be on the same line in the future. Her mother's choice wasn't wrong.
…
In a pavilion in the Heavenly Chasm Immortal Pool, Gai Ao gestured for Mo Wuji to sit down. Gai Feiyan had already brought two glasses of immortal spirit wine for Mo Wuji and Gai Ao.
"Heavenly Emperor Gai has called me here. Is there anything special?" Mo Wuji asked again.
In front of Gai Ao, he didn't have any confidence. Although Da Huang stood behind him, Gai Ao's strength was too great, and Da Huang was no match.
"You should have some questions to ask me, right? You can ask me first," Gai Ao said with a smile after taking a sip of wine.
Mo Wuji indeed had many questions. Now that Gai Ao had said so, he wouldn't be polite. He cupped his fists and said, "Heavenly Emperor Gai, what exactly is the Grand Supreme Heaven? A small envoy, even the Heavenly Emperor has to show respect?"
Hearing Mo Wuji ask about the Grand Supreme Heaven, Gai Ao's expression became serious. He raised his hand and placed several restrictions before slowly saying, "Wuji, you should have come from the secular world, right? In the secular world, there are emperors and subjects. To put it simply, the Grand Supreme Heaven is the place where the emperor resides, and we are all his subjects."
"South Heaven Gate? Jade Emperor?" Mo Wuji exclaimed subconsciously.
Gai Ao frowned slightly, "What South Heaven Gate and Jade Emperor?"
Mo Wuji quickly waved his hand, "This junior suddenly thought of the secular world I came from. There is a Jade Emperor there, and the entrance to his place is called the South Heaven Gate."
Gai Ao didn't care. He nodded, "It's roughly the same as what you said. The emperor of the Grand Supreme Heaven is called the Dao Emperor. It is said that his strength has crossed the Great Immortal Emperor and entered a new level. I am also a Great Immortal Emperor, and I have roamed the Immortal World for so many years, but I can't even touch the level of the Dao Emperor. Not only me, but also the other Immortal Emperors in the Immortal World. Don't look at us roaming the Immortal World, in front of Dao Emperor Zi Changluo, we are not even ants."
Mo Wuji secretly gasped. He knew too well the power of the Immortal Emperor. Great Emperor Lun Cai could crush him with one finger, and he was also clear about the battle between Zhuo Ping'an and Lun Cai. If the two of them fought with all their means, they could turn several huge immortal cities into ashes in one move. This kind of method was not even as good as an ant in front of Dao Emperor Zi Changluo. How powerful should that Dao Emperor Zi Changluo be?
"Then are the various Heavenly Emperors of the Immortal World appointed by the Dao Emperor?" Mo Wuji stabilized.
Gai Ao sighed, "That's not the case. The Heavenly Emperors of the Immortal World are all obtained through their own fighting and competition. The Dao Emperor doesn't care about these things, but once someone touches the realm of the Dao Emperor, I'm afraid…"
A chill rose from the bottom of Mo Wuji's heart. He suddenly thought of his Immortal Mortal World. At this moment, he had a feeling that the Immortal World was Dao Emperor's small world, and they were kept in this small world by the Dao Emperor.
