"Mo Wuji nodded and asked, "Gong Yi, do you know about the Shattered Realm?"

Gong Yi quickly replied, "I do. The first two layers of the Shattered Realm have already been opened and can be entered at any time. Although many people have gone in, there are still many unexplored places in the first two layers. These places have all sorts of treasures, and cultivators enter and exit the Shattered Realm every day. The third layer of the Shattered Realm will open in half a year. The reason why so many star-level geniuses gather in the Jiao Point Immortal Ruins is that they are all waiting to go to the third layer of the Shattered Realm."

"So, Grand Yi Immortals can't enter the third layer?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully.

Gong Yi answered, "They can't enter when it first opens. Once the third layer has been open for a year, Grand Yi Immortals can enter. For example, now anyone can enter the first and second layers of the Shattered Realm. But during the first year that the third layer is open, only Profound Immortal and below cultivators can enter."

Mo Wuji understood. Although he hadn't reached the Profound Immortal Realm, he could enter the third layer. Once he exceeded the Profound Immortal cultivation, he wouldn't be able to enter the third layer.

"If I want to go to the Shattered Realm, what do I need to apply for?" Mo Wuji thought that so many star-level geniuses wanted to go to the Shattered Realm, so the good things inside must be plentiful.

Gong Yi quickly said, "Elder Mo is an Elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, as long as you show your Elder identity token, you can enter."

So simple? Mo Wuji was still thinking about who he should ask to be able to enter the Shattered Realm. He didn't expect his identity to be his signboard.

"In that case, Gong Yi, you stay in the shop for now. The shop won't be doing any business recently. I also need to go into seclusion for a period of time. After I come out of seclusion and return from the Shattered Realm, the shop will start doing business again," Mo Wuji said. He knew that his strength was still too low.

Even though he wasn't afraid of Ao Tian City, he couldn't do anything to Ao Tian City. His current strength was, at best, only enough to protect himself in front of Ao Tian City, and even that required using spatial teleportation.

It was indeed difficult to improve to the late stage of Golden Immortal in half a year, but he had to try no matter what.

"Elder Mo, if you want to go into seclusion, I suggest you go to the Immortal Refining Pool of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Elders can enter that place to cultivate, which is much stronger than cultivating with immortal crystals and spirit gathering arrays," Gong Yi said quickly upon hearing that Mo Wuji was going into seclusion.

"Immortal Refining Pool?" Mo Wuji asked in confusion.

Gong Yi nodded. "Yes, the Immortal Refining Pool. That place is used by Elders and the Alliance Head for seclusion. It's an important place for our Jiao Point Immortal Ruins branch of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance."

"How do I get there?" Mo Wuji asked eagerly.

"I'll take Elder Mo there," Gong Yi said without hesitation.

...

Mo Wuji had Dou Hualong check out of the room at the Linhe Immortal Resting Pavilion. He himself hurriedly went to the Immortal Refining Pool with Gong Yi. Going to the Shattered Realm this time wasn't a joke. There were many star-level geniuses going, and most of them were Profound Immortal. In terms of cultivation alone, he was still a bottom-tier existence.

"Gong Yi, is the strongest person in our Jiao Point Immortal Ruins branch of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance still the Grand Alliance Head in seclusion?" Mo Wuji asked on the way.

Gong Yi responded, "Yes, it's said that the Grand Alliance Head has sensed the edge of the Immortal Emperor Dao position. After coming out of this seclusion, he is very likely to become a Quasi-Emperor. Once the Grand Elder becomes a Quasi-Emperor, our Jiao Point Immortal Ruins branch..."

"The Grand Alliance Head hasn't reached the Immortal Emperor Realm yet?" Mo Wuji interrupted Gong Yi's words, asking in surprise. He thought the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was very strong, and the Alliance Head of this branch would naturally be an Immortal Emperor expert.

Gong Yi was somewhat helpless. This Elder Mo's talent in refining pills could be said to be the best he had ever seen, and his future potential was limitless.

Why was an Elder with such great pill refining potential so lacking in common sense regarding cultivation?

"Elder Mo, the total number of Immortal Emperors in our Pill Dao Immortal Alliance doesn't even reach one hand. Among them, there are also some Grand Immortal Emperors who never appear in the world. In fact, having a Quasi-Emperor in Jiao Point Immortal Ruins is already very, very powerful," Gong Yi still answered respectfully and carefully.

In fact, he was already putting on a good face for the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance by saying one hand. Gong Yi wasn't even sure if the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance had five Immortal Emperors, and in his opinion, it was likely that they didn't.

Mo Wuji frowned upon hearing this.

With less than five Immortal Emperors, what gave the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance the right to be dominant?

After a while, Mo Wuji asked, "Gong Yi, I heard that Elder Gu of the Magic Moon Immortal Gate is a late-stage Immortal Emperor, and he even fought against the Heavenly Emperor of the Yongying Immortal Domain because of a Purple Gourd. Doesn't that mean that the Magic Moon Immortal Gate is a top-tier great sect?"

Gong Yi momentarily forgot Mo Wuji's identity and sneered, "The Magic Moon Immortal Gate has Immortal Emperors? They're bragging. Even if they have Immortal Emperors, at most it's just a newly ascended early-stage Immortal Emperor. That Elder Gu I know, he's just a Quasi-Emperor who has lived a little longer."

Mo Wuji asked in confusion, "Since Gu hasn't even reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, what did he rely on to fight against the Heavenly Emperor of the Yongying Immortal Domain? And he was even able to severely injure the Heavenly Emperor of the Yongying Immortal Domain?"

Gong Yi replied, "The Yongying Immortal Domain ranks the lowest among the Seven Great Immortal Domains. The Heavenly Emperor is called Kui Fengyun, and he's just a Quasi-Emperor. The Yongying Immortal Domain may have Immortal Emperors, but it's definitely not the Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun."

Mo Wuji fell silent. He didn't believe that Gong Yi would deceive him. The only possibility was that the information he had received was incorrect. It was no wonder; Dou Hualong was just a street urchin. The information he could get was basically news transmitted on the streets.

Any news, once transmitted many times, would become distorted. Especially this kind of fighting; the person transmitting the news wanted it to be exciting and couldn't wait to describe the fighters as more and more powerful.

Seeing Mo Wuji's silence, Gong Yi explained, "Since ancient times, achieving Immortal Emperor has been the most difficult thing. Not only must one have opportunities, but also great luck. It's not something that can be achieved just by having good aptitude. Because of the difficulty of Immortal Emperor, many sects directly call Quasi-Emperors as Immortal Emperors. But this is fundamentally different; a hundred Quasi-Emperors are like ants in front of an Immortal Emperor."

Mo Wuji patted Gong Yi's shoulder. "Gong Yi, this knowledge of yours is very useful to me. Thank you."

Indeed, without reaching a certain level, the things he obtained might be tainted. Don't look at Gong Yi acting like a grandson in front of him now; in fact, Gong Yi's background was unattainable for most geniuses. The examiner of immortal pill refiners of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, just with this title, could crush most people. And in Gong Yi's position, he could naturally obtain more real news.

Gong Yi was somewhat flattered. What he said was just basic common sense.

Mo Wuji didn't continue to ask Gong Yi about the whereabouts of the Purple Gourd. In any case, these things wouldn't bother him for the time being.

When they arrived at the gate of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance branch, Mo Wuji suddenly remembered something and turned his head to ask, "Gong Yi, if even the Heavenly Emperor of the Yongying Immortal Domain isn't an Immortal Emperor, why don't the other Immortal Domains attack the Yongying Immortal Domain?"

Gong Yi lowered his voice and pointed to his head, saying, "I heard that above the Seven Great Immortal Domains, there is also a Supreme Heaven. Many orders of the Immortal Realm have to look at the Supreme Heaven's eye."

Mo Wuji didn't ask any further. He vaguely felt that he shouldn't continue to inquire. And even if he wanted to inquire, Gong Yi wouldn't know more. The more he knew, the more Mo Wuji felt that the Immortal Realm wasn't some beautiful paradise, but still a den of intrigue, a pile of filth.

...

Mo Wuji also didn't expect that the Immortal Refining Pool of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance in Jiao Point Immortal Ruins would be on the second underground level, which was one level below the warehouse of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance in Jiao Point Immortal Ruins branch.

After Gong Yi brought Mo Wuji here, he stopped. He pointed to the huge stone door in front of him and said to Mo Wuji, "Elder Mo, behind this stone door is the Immortal Refining Pool of our Pill Dao Immortal Alliance in Jiao Point Immortal Ruins. Only the Elder's jade token can open it."

"I understand. Gong Yi, you go back to the shop first. After I return from the Shattered Realm, I will come to the shop to teach you some pill dao techniques." Mo Wuji knew what Gong Yi was thinking. Although part of his respect was because he was an Elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance branch, more importantly, Gong Yi wanted to take a further step in pill dao.

For a pill refiner like Gong Yi, cultivation was far less important than pill dao.

"Yes, thank you, Elder," Gong Yi left the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance contentedly after receiving Mo Wuji's assurance.

After Gong Yi left, Mo Wuji took out his Elder identity token and inserted it into the slot beside the stone door.

Sure enough, after his identity token was inserted, the stone door made a series of 'creaking' sounds and then slowly opened.

Before even entering the stone door, Mo Wuji felt the extremely rich and pleasant immortal spiritual energy.

Mo Wuji quickly withdrew his Elder identity token and flashed into the Immortal Refining Pool. After Mo Wuji entered, the heavy stone door slowly closed again.

This was a huge hall. In the middle of the hall was a huge pool more than one hundred square meters in area. In the middle of the pool was a raised stone futon.

The surface of the pool was shrouded in immortal mist. This immortal spiritual energy was not only rich, but also carried a natural Dao aura.

Mo Wuji quickly stepped onto the stone futon, sat down cross-legged, and activated all one hundred and eight meridians.

One hundred and eight small heavenly cycles, and then these small heavenly cycles formed a large heavenly cycle. This posture of absorbing immortal spiritual energy instantly stirred up a huge immortal spiritual energy tide around Mo Wuji. The immortal mist in the Immortal Refining Pool seemed to have found an opening and crazily poured towards Mo Wuji's surroundings, then disappeared into Mo Wuji's body.

Mo Wuji, who was cultivating recklessly, was like a huge millstone. No matter how much immortal spiritual energy poured in, it would be directly ground away by his great millstone and then transformed into his own cultivation.

After Mo Wuji reached the mid stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, he clearly felt that his cultivation had stagnated. At this moment, cultivating so frantically in the Immortal Refining Pool, his stagnated cultivation was opened up again, and his cultivation rose steadily.

The sea of consciousness continued to expand, the immortal essence continued to condense, and the meridians continued to widen...
