Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 701: Gaining a Foothold

Blood covered the ground, and coupled with the yellow-robed man's mutterings, even an idiot would know who had slaughtered the West Chian Sea Dragon Clan.

"Who is this person? He looks so unfamiliar," someone asked.

"How could such a powerful expert be nameless in the Immortal World? He must have disguised himself," someone else replied.

Ao Yulu's face flushed like a pig's liver. Over the years, she had done no small amount of propaganda to demonize Mo Wuji, and wherever she went, she spared no effort in attracting hatred towards him.

But the reality was a slap in the face. The villain she had been seeking revenge on and spreading rumors about turned out to be the Dragon Clan's only benefactor.

The term "biting the hand that feeds you" probably didn't apply to anyone more than her.

"Ao Yulu, my Dragon Clan values gratitude and revenge. You didn't investigate the matter clearly, but made wild guesses. Then you continued to repay kindness with hatred, damaging Brother Mo's reputation and adding fuel to the fire." Ao Sangzi's tone towards Ao Yulu was somewhat cold.

"If that's the case, why didn't he explain himself to me..." Ao Yulu swallowed her words halfway. Hadn't Mo Wuji explained himself to her? It was just that she hadn't been willing to listen.

Back then, Mo Wuji had said that he hadn't done it, that things weren't as she thought, but she hadn't listened to him at all.

Seeing Ao Yulu's expression, everyone knew what was going on. Ao Sangzi said calmly, "I believe you didn't give Brother Mo a chance to explain himself, right? Back then, Brother Mo's cultivation wasn't high when he saved us. How could he have been a match for you, a Da Luo Immortal expert? It's a miracle that Brother Mo didn't die at your hands, otherwise my Dragon Clan wouldn't even be able to lift its head."

"I'm sorry, I wronged someone." Ao Yulu walked to Wen Lianxi and bowed respectfully. At this moment, she completely understood the cause and effect. In that kind of environment, it would have been strange if Mo Wuji hadn't been covered in blood.

She was also quite open and straightforward, apologizing when she needed to.

Wen Lianxi stepped aside and said indifferently, "I don't have the right to forgive you, and we won't become friends, so you don't need to do this. I only believe that Brother Mo wouldn't do such a thing, and I only hope that Brother Mo won't be wronged."

No matter how much Ao Yulu apologized, Wen Lianxi wouldn't forgive her. In her opinion, the reason why Brother Mo was being hunted down and his whereabouts were quickly revealed was probably because Ao Yulu had attracted hatred towards him.

"I knew that Pill Master Mo wouldn't do such a thing. Now it's proven to be true."

"Then what about him killing the Jingxin Temple master and disciples and seizing the Great Kun Buddha Lamp?"

"You didn't see it, so how do you know that Mo Wuji seized the Great Kun Buddha Lamp? Didn't Ao Yulu say that Pill Master Mo killed the Dragon Clan? What was the result?"

...

After Ao Sangzi stood up to defend Mo Wuji, the unanimous condemnation of Mo Wuji turned into a fifty-fifty split.

"The Supreme Heaven Envoy is here!" Just as everyone was still discussing, a sudden voice rang out. The originally noisy and chaotic garden instantly fell silent.

The dense crowd parted, revealing a path. The immortals in the Spire Horn Immortal Ruins Garden were now well-ordered.

An incredibly young man walked in. This man was not only young but also extremely handsome. A simple black immortal robe perfectly highlighted his aura of authority.

Everyone in the Spire Horn Immortal Ruins Garden was shocked. Who hadn't seen the world, standing in the Spire Horn Immortal Ruins Garden? They had probably seen Immortal Reverents and Immortal Emperors.

The aura of this black-robed young man was no weaker than any Immortal Emperor they had seen. It was clear that this black-robed man was likely a Great Immortal Emperor.

Standing beside the black-robed man were a man and a woman. The man was tall and slender, with large hands. His eyes looked as if they were closed, but one could still feel his gaze. His deep blue immortal robes looked very ordinary, but no one thought he was ordinary. His body seemed to contain an explosive power that made people wary.

The woman was beautiful, like a celestial maiden shrouded in mist, gentle and ethereal, with an indescribable aura. This aura seemed solemn and frivolous at the same time.

"My name is Jin Yu. As you should know, I come from Supreme Heaven and am the envoy representing Supreme Heaven to recruit disciples in the Immortal World."

The black-robed man's tone was gentle and smiling. Just one sentence melted the tense atmosphere a lot, "Don't worry, Supreme Heaven wants to recruit a large number of talented disciples this time. So there are many spots. Although the requirement is four-star talent or above, in reality, even if you don't reach four stars, as long as you have the ability, you can still enter Supreme Heaven..."

Hearing Jin Yu's words, many people breathed a sigh of relief. Those who could come to this garden were basically talents above four stars. Moreover, the envoy said that even if they didn't reach four stars, they still had a chance.

"Moreover, the form of this selection is not fixed, and the time is not fixed. Even if you can impress me now, you can still enter Supreme Heaven. For example, the two beside me, one is Lei Hongji from Lei Sect, and the other is Ji Yue from Yongying Immortal Realm."

Hearing Jin Yu say this, everyone's eyes fell on the man and woman beside him. Everyone was envious, this selection hadn't even started, and this man and woman had already seized the opportunity to become disciples of Supreme Heaven.

Jin Yu said with a smile, "Lei Hongji's cultivation time combined is less than a hundred years, and now he is already at the peak of the Da Luo Immortal middle stage, only one step away from entering the Da Luo Immortal late stage. That's why he can enter Supreme Heaven in advance. As for Ji Yue, she is a rogue cultivator without any fixed resources, and even her family doesn't support her. With four-star talent, she has cultivated to the Great Yi Immortal, which is why she can enter Supreme Heaven."

Hearing Jin Yu's words, the way everyone looked at these two changed.

Lei Hongji reached the Da Luo Immortal stage in less than a hundred years, and was still in the middle stage. One could imagine how outstanding Lei Hongji's talent was. Even the nine-star geniuses who were selected into Supreme Heaven last time probably couldn't compare to Lei Hongji.

Ji Yue was slightly inferior, but a four-star genius who could advance to the Great Yi Immortal in a short period of time was also very impressive.

Jin Yu felt everyone's envy and continued, "Don't be envious of Lei Hongji and Ji Yue. The fourth layer of the Shattered World is about to open, and this fourth layer is also your opportunity. In the fourth layer, whoever can obtain more resources will be qualified to enter Supreme Heaven..."

As soon as Jin Yu said this, the geniuses in the Spire Horn Immortal Ruins Garden secretly clenched their fists, determined to obtain enough resources in the fourth layer of the Shattered World and strive to enter Supreme Heaven.

"By the way, I heard that there is a newcomer named Mo Wuji who is very powerful. Does anyone know his whereabouts?" As Jin Yu spoke, his eyes swept over everyone.

The scene fell silent, and no one spoke.

...

This was the ninth day that Mo Wuji had his own territory. In the past nine days, he had only done one thing, which was to protect the entire area where he was located with formations.

He set up not only defensive formations but also trapping and killing formations and monitoring formations. As long as someone entered his territory, he would receive the news immediately.

Now, the only person he could use was Fei Ling. After Mo Wuji spent a few days setting up the formations, Fei Ling also built a series of cave dwellings in the middle of his territory according to Mo Wuji's requirements.

Mo Wuji and Han Qingru occupied the middle cave dwelling, while Fei Ling built his cave dwelling on the right side, close to the main cave dwelling.

Because of Mo Wuji's healing pills and Undying Holy Bamboo, Han Qingru's physical injuries had completely recovered in nine days. As for her primordial spirit and soul, they only needed time.

Even Fei Ling's physical body had recovered a lot. Mo Wuji was an eight-grade Pill Emperor, and what he lacked the least were all kinds of immortal pills.

"Qingru, from today onwards, I will teach you a body tempering technique. My body tempering technique can not only effectively resist the sword energy here but also temper your physical body." After setting up the protective formation for the cave dwelling, Mo Wuji immediately planned to teach Han Qingru a body tempering technique. In addition, he also planned to change Han Qingru's cultivation technique.

As for going to Immortal Mortal World, Mo Wuji didn't plan to do so yet. What kind of people were in this place? Don't think that he had intimidated a few powerful experts now and barely gained a foothold here. Once those Immortal Emperors knew that his true strength was only at the Da Luo Immortal stage and that he possessed Immortal Mortal World, he would be devoured until there were no scraps left.

"Okay." After a few days of contact, Han Qingru felt much less awkward in front of Mo Wuji. The only thing that made her a little disappointed was that after she confessed to Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji didn't do anything excessive to her afterward.

For Han Qingru, it was absolutely impossible for her to say it a second time. If she hadn't known that she was going to die at that time, she wouldn't have said it either.

Han Qingru was soon attracted to Mo Wuji's body tempering technique. Although this was Peace Vine Mountain, there was still some sword energy invading. Before, Mo Wuji had been helping her resist it. During the few days that Mo Wuji was setting up the formation, she had been resisting it herself. Fortunately, she had a large number of immortal pills, and this sword energy didn't cause too much damage to her.

Now she discovered that the body tempering technique that Mo Wuji taught her could easily dissolve the sword energy. Then it could convert the sword energy into physical strength. If Mo Wuji hadn't told her not to expose this body tempering technique casually, she couldn't help but want to go outside Peace Vine Mountain to temper her physical body and see how it worked.

Mo Wuji not only taught Han Qingru his body tempering technique but also taught her the Star Ocean God Art. Unfortunately, he couldn't modify the cultivation technique for Han Qingru himself, and Han Qingru was not suitable for cultivating his cultivation technique. Mo Wuji could only find the most suitable cultivation technique for Han Qingru among his spoils, which was at least a hundred times better than Han Qingru's original cultivation technique.

One day, Mo Wuji was explaining the cultivation technique to Han Qingru when Fei Ling's voice came, "Sect Leader, Immortal Hunter's Wei Reverent Lord requests an audience."

"I understand. Please ask Wei Reverent Lord to wait for a moment, and I will be there soon." Mo Wuji still admired Wei Zidao. He thought that Wei Zidao would come to find him five days after he moved in. He didn't expect that Wei Zidao would come to find him after nearly half a month. This patience was not something that ordinary people could do.
