Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 499: Advancing Without an Immortal Grade

When Mo Wuji woke up, the lightning tribulation had long passed. A wisp of morning sunlight fell on him, making him feel comfortable and relaxed all over.

Feeling his thick Immortal Elemental Energy and wide sea of consciousness, Mo Wuji had an urge to roar with delight. Golden Immortal! This strength was more than ten times stronger than that of a Heavenly Immortal. Back then, he was able to deal with Golden Immortals in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, which seemed to be mainly because Yong Ying Immortal Domain had restrictions on the laws of heaven and earth. Also, those powerful cultivators were unwilling to use rule talismans to go to Yong Ying Immortal Domain.

It seemed that one could not be promoted to Golden Immortal without condensing an Immortal Lattice, but this did not apply to him. His Immortal Mortal Technique did not condense an Immortal Lattice, but he could still be promoted to Golden Immortal.

Mo Wuji suppressed the urge to roar and stood up. His clothes were tattered, and several terrifying lightning marks had been blasted on his face and neck by the lightning arcs. Although the injuries on his body gradually recovered, the lightning marks on his skin had not yet disappeared. However, Mo Wuji knew that as long as his Vitality Channels operated, these slowly disappearing lightning marks would disappear directly.

Mo Wuji not only did not operate the Vitality Channels to make his lightning marks disappear, but he also prevented the Vitality Channels from continuing to repair the marks on his face and neck. He also planned to change his name, at least until he had a certain ability before considering other things.

He had twice caused a great disturbance in Yong Ying Immortal Domain’s Ying Bian City, offending countless people. That was not all. More importantly, before coming to the Immortal World, he had snatched the gourd from the bottom of the Wu Sheng River.

The gourd was staying in his Immortal World, and Mo Wuji didn't even dare to communicate with it with his divine sense. He planned to find a safe place, set up layers of protective formations, and then communicate with the gourd in the Immortal World. The aura inside the gourd could wash the body, so how could it be simple? The Immortal World was not like Yong Ying Immortal Domain. There were too many strong cultivators here. Once a little bit of aura was leaked, perhaps a strong cultivator would immediately come over and crush him to death.

After using a water purification spell to clean himself, Mo Wuji changed into a set of clean clothes. Only then did he realize that after being promoted to Golden Immortal, he looked even more ordinary and unremarkable. There was no longer any aura of spiritual rhyme overflowing. Now, if he was thrown into a mortal city, no one would be able to see any difference between him and ordinary mortals.

"Eh, good stuff." A surprised voice came over. Mo Wuji looked up and saw a fair-skinned young man holding his Half Moon Halberd blade in his hand.

Mo Wuji stretched out his hand and grabbed the Heavenly Mechanism Staff. Then, he cupped his fists and said slowly, "This friend, the item in your hand is my magic weapon. I was accidentally blown away by the lightning tribulation when I was undergoing my tribulation earlier."

The reason was that Mo Wuji did not want to cause any more trouble. Otherwise, he would have already refined three layers of restrictions on this Half Moon Halberd blade. With a wave of his hand, the Half Moon Halberd blade could have fallen into his hands.

The fair-skinned man's face darkened, and he said in a cold tone, "What are you? The magic weapon fragment that I picked up is yours? You are not worthy to own such a thing."

As soon as the fair-skinned man's voice fell, two more figures quickly landed nearby. The two people who came were a middle-aged man and a young girl.

"Young Master, what's wrong?" The middle-aged man asked.

Because of this middle-aged man, Mo Wuji once again suppressed the urge to attack. This middle-aged man's cultivation was higher than his. Mo Wuji suspected that this guy should be a Mysterious Immortal cultivator. Judging from the aura on his body, even a Mysterious Immortal was only in the early stage.

"This young master picked up a magic weapon fragment, and this guy actually said it was his. This is the first time Gou Xinghao has encountered such an arrogant guy, haha..." The fair-skinned man chuckled.

"It would be good if you, Gou Xinghao, were not arrogant. It's the first time I've heard you say that someone else is arrogant." Another voice came over, and another young man walked over.

When Mo Wuji saw the cultivator who came over, he felt that this guy looked very much like Hou Yucheng. Hou Yucheng was much more handsome than this guy, but Hou Yucheng's cultivation should be far inferior to this young cultivator's. In Mo Wuji's opinion, this guy was at least a Golden Immortal Completion cultivator.

Gou Xinghao snorted and ignored the young man who came to meddle.

"Junior Sister Xi Li, long time no see." After mocking Gou Xinghao, the young man who had just arrived took the initiative to greet a distant figure.

Mo Wuji also saw the young woman in the distance. He felt that she originally had no intention of coming over, but because of the greeting from the young man who had just arrived, she also walked over and said politely, "Xi Li greets Senior Brother Zhong from True Cliff Immortal City, and greets Senior Brother Gou from Blade Scar Peak."

This woman was wearing a light blue dress and had a long sword slung across her back. She looked as if she was walking over through the clouds. Her appearance was extremely beautiful, and her face always looked very gentle. At first glance, she was the kind of woman who was extremely well-mannered and gave people a feeling of wanting to get close to her.

The young man laughed and actually turned to Mo Wuji and said, "This friend, did Gou Xinghao take your item just now? I have now specially invited Junior Sister Xi Li from Frost Immortal Lake to be a witness to see if this Young Peak Master of Blade Scar Peak likes to rob by force."

Mo Wuji noticed that after Li Xi came over, Gou Xinghao's arrogant aura had subsided a lot, and he seemed to be deliberately trying to let Li Xi see his gentlemanly side.

Although he did not know whether the Zhong cultivator from True Cliff Immortal City wanted to use him to attack the pretty boy Gou Xinghao, Mo Wuji still cupped his fists and said, "Mo Xinghe greets all of you. Not long ago, my magic weapon was shattered during the tribulation. Because I was seriously injured, I did not have time to collect my magic weapon fragments..."

"Hehe, I picked up a fragment here, and you said it was yours? Could it be that you think that with Zhong Zhen from True Cliff Immortal City helping you speak, you think that Gou Xinghao can't touch you?" Gou Xinghao snorted coldly before Mo Wuji could finish speaking.

Although he guessed that the magic weapon fragment in his hand might be Mo Wuji's, since the magic weapon fragment had been shattered, it was an unowned object. The shattered magic weapon fragment meant that the refined divine sense mark would naturally be shattered as well. If Mo Wuji was a cultivator who surpassed Grand Unity Immortal, he would still have some scruples about Mo Wuji leaving a divine sense mark in the fragment.

In fact, Mo Wuji was just a newly tribulation-transcended Golden Immortal cultivator. He did not believe that a Golden Immortal cultivator could leave his divine sense in a magic weapon fragment. What he did not know was that this magic weapon fragment was originally refined separately by Mo Wuji.

"Mo Xinghe, how can you prove that this magic weapon fragment is yours?" Zhong Zhen completely ignored Gou Xinghao and still questioned Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji said lightly, "This was originally my item, and I don't need to prove it."

Hearing Mo Wuji's words, not only was Zhong Zhen stunned, but even Xi Li, who came later, frowned in silence. She also guessed that Gou Xinghao was trying to snatch this rogue cultivator's item, but she did not expect this rogue cultivator to speak like this, which was equivalent to making it impossible for Zhong Zhen, who was helping him, to step down.

Looking at Mo Wuji, he should also be an impoverished rogue cultivator. He didn't even have the ability to remove the scars on his face. You should know that buying a Rejuvenation Pill doesn't cost much immortal crystals at all.

"Haha..." Gou Xinghao laughed loudly.

Before his laughter could be completely released, everyone heard a buzzing sound. The Half Moon Halberd blade in his hand had already flown out directly and landed in Mo Wuji's hand.

Everyone was stunned. Zhong Zhen was the quickest to come to his senses and immediately laughed loudly, "Brother Gou, this thing was indeed picked up by you. You actually picked up things that others were thinking about. You are too amazing, too amazing..."

After saying these words, Zhong Zhen suddenly paused, and a Qiankun trigram fell to the ground. He exaggeratedly bent down and grabbed his Qiankun trigram, saying worriedly, "What a close call, what a close call, I almost had it picked up by someone. There are experts at picking up things in this place. I need to be careful."

Gou Xinghao's face was extremely gloomy and ugly. Even the gentle and calm Xi Li could not help but be amused by Zhong Zhen's actions and could not help but cover her red lips.

"I really didn't expect that this Half Moon Halberd blade was your magic weapon fragment. I really like this magic weapon fragment. Name a price and I will buy it." Gou Xinghao was quite adaptable. After Mo Wuji took away his Half Moon Halberd blade, he actually wanted to buy it from Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji reached out and sent the Half Moon Halberd blade into his ring and said in a low voice, "My things are not for sale."

After saying that, he cupped his fists at Zhong Zhen and said, "Thank you for your righteous words, Fellow Daoist Zhong."

Gou Xinghao snorted coldly and swept Mo Wuji with a murderous look. Then, he said to Xi Li, "After leaving this place, you are welcome to visit Blade Scar Peak, Junior Sister Li. I have something to do, so I will take my leave first."

After leaving this place? Mo Wuji was stunned. This place was not the Immortal World?

Seeing Gou Xinghao leave, Zhong Zhen snorted in disdain. Then, he said to Mo Wuji, "Fellow Daoist Mo, you are too polite. You need to be careful in the future. This guy actually brought a Mysterious Immortal thug with him. He is extremely shameless. You should have entered this place through a scattered quota, right? I suggest that you find a few people to form a team."

Could this be a secret realm? After entering from the bottom of the Wu Sheng River, he had come to a secret realm?

Just as Mo Wuji wanted to ask, a violent explosion suddenly erupted in the distance, followed by a dazzling ball of fire soaring into the sky.

Zhong Zhen hurriedly greeted Mo Wuji and Xi Li and quickly fled over.

"Senior Brother Zhong Zhen is right. You need to be careful yourself." Xi Li also hurriedly said a sentence and followed after him.

Just as Mo Wuji was about to follow over to take a look, a sense of crisis arose from the bottom of his heart. He subconsciously fled away from the original spot. The next moment, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared not far from him.

"It's you?" Mo Wuji was secretly shocked. This middle-aged man was the Mysterious Immortal who was following Gou Xinghao. He was secretly shocked not by the fact that this guy's cultivation had reached Mysterious Immortal, but by the fact that this guy had silently returned and ambushed him. He had almost not noticed it.

"Kid, to be able to undergo tribulation and become a Golden Immortal in this place, it seems that you have obtained some treasures, right? Hand over your ring and then kill yourself. I'll give you a complete corpse." The middle-aged man sneered.
