Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 525: The Seat of a Nine-Star Genius
Mo Wuji felt that the immortal spiritual energy seemed to be weakening. He stopped cultivating, opened his eyes, and found that the surrounding immortal spiritual energy was indeed much thinner. He couldn't cultivate anymore; if he continued, he might absorb all the immortal spiritual energy from this Immortal Refining Pool. Moreover, the Shattered Realm was probably about to open, and he didn't want to miss it.
Mo Wuji stood up, but just as he was about to leave, his heart suddenly stirred, and the spiritual energy between his eyebrows quickly gathered, and the spiritual eye reappeared.
To Mo Wuji's surprise, he found that his spiritual eye was several times stronger than before. He could even see the outlines of the restrictive formations in the Immortal Refining Pool.
His spiritual eye was indeed improving with his cultivation. The thought that his spiritual eye could even see through formations filled Mo Wuji with anticipation. Once his spiritual eye improved to a certain level, even formations that he couldn't decipher could be helped by the spiritual eye. He hadn't paid much attention to the spiritual eye before, but now it seemed that this divine ability was truly powerful.
Mo Wuji tidied himself up and walked out of the Immortal Refining Pool.
As soon as he arrived at the first floor hall, Mo Wuji saw Gong Yi waiting in the hall.
"Congratulations, Elder Mo, on completing your seclusion." Seeing Mo Wuji, Gong Yi happily stepped forward to greet him.
This Gong Yi was indeed sophisticated, actually waiting here for him to come out of seclusion. Mo Wuji thought that this kind of person was most suitable for running a shop. It would be best if he could get a pile of immortal spiritual herbs in the Shattered Realm this time, and then refine a large number of pills for Gong Yi to sell.
Seeing Mo Wuji nod, Gong Yi knew that he hadn't done anything wrong and quickly said, "Hua Long is in seclusion in the shop. I know that the Shattered Realm is about to open, and I'm preparing to take the Elder with me."
Mo Wuji was just planning to go to the Shattered Realm, and hearing Gong Yi's words, he immediately said, "In that case, I'll trouble you. By the way, has anything else happened during my seclusion?"
Gong Yi quickly replied, "No, a Star-level genius named Shen Muqing came to visit once, but after hearing that you were in seclusion, she didn't come again. Also, Immortal Emperor Wen Lan of the Luo Ling Immortal Domain is comprehending the Dao at Suspended River and is proving the Dao to become an Immortal Emperor, using the spiritual treasure Azure Cloud Golden Fire Cover to suppress luck and establish the Suspended River Immortal Sect. At the same time, he has widely invited experts from all walks of life to hold the Immortal Qiong Spirit Tea Conference."
Perhaps he knew from Dou Hua Long that this Elder Mo was very interested in all kinds of news, so Gong Yi also gossiped about some news on purpose. He indeed found that Mo Wuji's expression was very satisfied after hearing these news.
The place to go to the Shattered Realm was not far from the Dan Dao Immortal Alliance's branch in Jiao Point Immortal Ruins. The two walked and talked all the way, and it only took them an incense stick of time to arrive.
"Elder Mo, this is the Jiao Point Immortal Ruins Shattered Realm Transmission Tower. You can enter with your identity token. Generally, you need to arrive half a month to a month in advance to go to the Shattered Realm. This way, you can upload to the transmission array first and then occupy a good position. Occupying a good position is not only related to reputation, but also has great benefits for your cultivation." Gong Yi pointed to the tall tower in front of him and introduced it to Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji was very satisfied with Gong Yi's attitude, "Gong Yi, you go back first. Hua Long doesn't have much experience, so you can take care of him. When I come back, I will guide you to become a Rank 4 Pill King."
Gong Yi's hands trembled with excitement. Although he knew that Mo Wuji had misspoke, and should have said that he would guide him from Rank 2 Pill Sovereign to Rank 3 Pill Sovereign, it didn't matter to him. Over the years, he was only a little bit away from becoming a true Rank 3 Pill Sovereign.
Once Mo Wuji, this Rank 4 Honored Pill King, guided him, his promotion would be a piece of cake.
"Yes, Elder Mo." Gong Yi bowed and stood aside to wait.
Mo Wuji walked into the Transmission Tower.
"Please show your Shattered Realm Invitation Jade Token." As soon as Mo Wuji entered, he was stopped by a cultivator from the Transmission Tower.
Mo Wuji took out his Elder Identity Token and handed it over. The cultivator casually took Mo Wuji's Identity Token, and when he saw clearly that Mo Wuji was an Elder of the Dan Dao Immortal Alliance's branch in Jiao Point Immortal Ruins, his expression immediately became respectful.
After carefully checking the authenticity of the Jade Token, the cultivator handed the Jade Token to Mo Wuji with both hands, "Elder Mo, please go to the third floor."
Sure enough, it was useful. Mo Wuji nodded to the cultivator, put away the Jade Token, and walked in.
…
When Mo Wuji entered the third floor of the Transmission Tower, it was already full of people.
The seats here seemed to have a hierarchy. The chairs near the windows with more light seemed to be engraved with nine stars. The chairs that were not near the windows and were more spacious were engraved with eight stars. The chairs further out had fewer stars, seven. Then there were six and five stars, and the chairs on the outermost periphery and in the corners had no markings at all.
He just glanced at it and saw it. Those who occupied the chairs with more stars were all powerful figures surrounded by spiritual rhymes. Some ordinary cultivators were sitting on the outermost edges, and some were even standing.
At the same time, he also saw several acquaintances, Murong Xiangyu, Qiao Qianyan, and Ao Tiancheng. There was also that Bone Sword, still staying by Murong Xiangyu's side.
Mo Wuji didn't care. There were empty chairs here, and he wouldn't stand outside. He casually found a seat by the window and sat down. After all, it wasn't an immediate transmission. This place had a wide view, and at least it felt more comfortable.
Seeing Mo Wuji enter this place, Murong Xiangyu frowned. She couldn't understand why Mo Wuji would come to this place. The cultivators who came here were not simple people. Even those who were huddled in the corners had people behind them. The rest were either geniuses above five stars, or people with low status and high cultivation.
"Yan Ye, why are you here?" Qiao Zhongyan took the initiative to ask.
Mo Wuji smiled, "I've changed my name now. I'm not called Yan Ye anymore. I'm called Mo Wuji."
Qiao Zhongyan didn't care whether Mo Wuji changed his name or not, and continued, "Fellow Daoist Mo, I suggest you don't sit there."
Originally, Mo Wuji was Murong Xiangyu's Dao Companion, and he felt very uncomfortable. Now that Mo Wuji had nothing to do with Murong Xiangyu, and he was also kicked out, he felt a sense of shared misfortune with Mo Wuji. Besides, he and Mo Wuji were from the same place, which always gave him a little more familiarity than cultivators from other places.
"Why?" Mo Wuji asked in confusion, "Is this seat reserved for someone?"
"You're right, this seat is indeed reserved for someone. The person who reserved your seat is me." A slightly hoarse voice came, followed by a slender, fair-skinned youth.
Mo Wuji thought that this guy was too delicate-looking, almost like a woman.
"Move aside. I won't argue with you." The delicate youth walked up to Mo Wuji, his tone calm.
Mo Wuji frowned slightly, and turned his gaze to Ao Tiancheng not far away, "Ao Tiancheng, tell me, can the waiting seats in the Shattered Realm Transmission Tower be reserved? If it's really reserved, I'll give up my seat."
Mo Wuji hadn't asked Gong Yi and didn't know if the waiting seats in the Shattered Realm Transmission Tower could be reserved. If they could be reserved, then he had no reason to take someone else's seat.
Ao Tiancheng wanted to ignore Mo Wuji, but he was still a little worried that Mo Wuji wouldn't reason with him. He had seen this guy being unreasonable before, splitting the stone lion of the Breaking Sky Treasure Pavilion with one strike, for no reason at all. If this guy fought with him here, he might not be able to go to the Shattered Realm. Mo Wuji was an Elder of the Dan Dao Immortal Alliance, so even if he fought here, he would have the opportunity to go to the Shattered Realm. If this guy fought with Hai Xiuran, then he could watch the fun.
Thinking of this, Ao Tiancheng said calmly, "The seats here cannot be reserved. Whoever comes first gets the seat. The reason why your seat is said to be reserved is because the seats by the windows are for nine-star geniuses. This is a default rule."
Mo Wuji understood. This meant that the delicate youth in front of him was a nine-star genius. Or rather, not just this delicate youth, but any nine-star genius could sit in his seat. Although he was not a star-level genius, Mo Wuji was the creator of the meridian cultivation method. Compared to nine-star geniuses, he was not inferior. Moreover, as long as he had enough cultivation resources, with the Great Circulation cultivation formed by 108 meridians, what about nine-star geniuses? They still couldn't compare to him.
He was determined to sit in this seat, and he was also qualified to sit in this seat.
Although Ao Tiancheng was a seven-star genius, his irritable temper was well-known. Everyone didn't expect that such an irritable guy would patiently answer Mo Wuji's questions and not favor Hai Xiuran at all, and they were all a little surprised.
"Sorry, I came to this seat first. Find another place." After knowing that he couldn't reserve the seat, Mo Wuji refused Hai Xiuran's request without hesitation, and even felt a little upset in his heart. This seat was based on his talent, and who could be sure that this guy's talent was higher than his?
Hai Xiuran asked coldly, "I don't know which sect's nine-star genius you are? Why have I never seen you before?"
Mo Wuji said lightly, "Whether I'm a nine-star genius or not has nothing to do with you. Who stipulated that only nine-star geniuses can sit here? Can't ten-star geniuses sit here?"
Originally, Mo Wuji didn't care about occupying a good position. But now that he saw a nine-star genius wanting to compete with him for a seat, he felt that occupying a good position might not just be something Gong Yi said casually.
"In that case, let me see how hard your bones are, and how qualified you are to sit here." Hai Xiuran's tone was still calm, but the killing intent was already evident.
