Mo Wuji's displeasure quickly dissipated. He believed that when he advanced to the Earthly Immortal stage, he could definitely beat Zhu Qu until he was crawling and begging for mercy.

No matter how strong Zhu Qu was in cultivating the Soul Refining Art, even if he cultivated his divine sense into a tangible form, so what? Mo Wuji only had an increasingly large sea of consciousness and a lake of purple essence. As for the primordial spirit, hehe, he didn't need it.

"Oh, this Lei Hongji is not bad. He can actually rank seventh on the Earthly King List." Among the people on the Heavenly King List, Mo Wuji didn't recognize anyone except Zhu Qu. However, Lei Hongji on the Earthly King List surprised him.

Chi Huo'er said solemnly, "Star Lord, you must not underestimate this Lei Hongji. This Chi believes that his real ranking on the Earthly King List should not be lower than the top three."

"Oh? Why?" Mo Wuji asked in confusion. He had never fought Lei Hongji head-on when Lei Hongji's strength was at its peak, so he didn't know how powerful Lei Hongji was now. However, Lei Hongji was able to take away Crescent Moon Hell in front of everyone's eyes, so he was definitely not a simple person.

"This Chi suspects that Lei Hongji's spiritual root is not an ordinary mutated spiritual root. His aptitude is even increasing all the time. The specific details are unclear to Chi. It is precisely because Chi saw Lei Hongji's terrifying aptitude that Chi wanted Lei Hongji to live in the Star Emperor Mountain." Chi Huo'er said.

Mo Wuji didn't care too much. Lei Hongji wouldn't be able to stay in the top ten on the Heavenly King List for long. It was the same as him. His meridians also improved as his cultivation level increased. Every additional meridian he had, his cultivation progress and strength would increase greatly.

Bypassing the three major lists, Mo Wuji saw a jade plate suspended in mid-air by a formation. On the jade plate were six jade boxes.

Before Mo Wuji could ask, Chi Huo'er pointed to the jade plate and said, "That jade plate is the Star Lord Plate. Before each Star Lord goes out, they will leave behind their most precious items. If they can't return, these items will be left for the next Star Lord."

Mo Wuji nodded, walked to the jade plate, and reached out to take the first jade box.

The jade box was wrapped in a restriction, and divine sense couldn't penetrate it. Mo Wuji opened the first jade box, and a cyan-white fruit was placed quietly inside.

Nine Luo Star Fruit? Mo Wuji was stunned. Then he understood that this was indeed the Nine Luo Star Fruit. He had obtained one of these fruits from the ring of the White-Eyed Giant Wolf.

In terms of value, the Nine Luo Star Fruit was undoubtedly the most precious among the level eight spiritual fruits. This was a great item that could allow a True God Realm cultivator at the peak stage to advance to a Human Immortal. Even if it was not refined into a pill, it was still extremely valuable. Star Emperor Mountain also had many level eight spiritual objects. Mo Wuji had seen them in the treasury. However, the Star Emperor Mountain's treasury didn't have this Nine Luo Star Fruit.

This fruit could at least allow him to advance one level. After he reached the eleventh level of the True God Realm, taking this fruit would allow him to directly enter the twelfth level of the True God Realm.

Good stuff. He took it.

The first item was so precious, making Mo Wuji even more eager for the remaining jade boxes.

The moment Mo Wuji opened the second jade box, a refreshing spiritual energy swept over, causing Mo Wuji to inexplicably feel a sense of excitement.

He was very familiar with this spiritual energy. These were the spirit stone fragments from Crescent Moon Hell. In fact, there were indeed spirit stone fragments in this jade box. There were quite a few spirit stone fragments. Mo Wuji counted them, and there were fifteen pieces in total.

This was truly good stuff. With this box of spirit stone fragments, what did he have to worry about? Adding the Nine Luo Star Fruit, it was definitely no problem for him to advance to the first level of the Human Immortal Realm in a short period of time.

Mo Wuji couldn't wait to open the third jade box. There were also fifteen spirit stone fragments inside. Mo Wuji opened the fourth, fifth, and sixth jade boxes one after another. Just as he thought, except for the first jade box which contained the Nine Luo Star Fruit, the remaining five jade boxes were all filled with spirit stone fragments.

Mo Wuji suppressed his excitement and said, "I didn't expect that Chi Star Lord had also been to Crescent Moon Immortal Palace, and even placed the spirit stone fragments from Crescent Moon Immortal Palace here."

Chi Huo'er said, "That Nine Luo Star Fruit was placed here by Chi Star Lord. The spirit stone fragments were left by the second Star Lord, Qing Wu..."

Seeing Mo Wuji looking at him in confusion, Chi Huo'er continued, "After Qing Wu took over as Star Lord, it coincided with the appearance of the Crescent Moon Immortal Palace. At that time, Qing Star Lord and several True Star experts entered the Crescent Moon Immortal Palace. The three major families of Star Emperor Mountain also rose up after that Crescent Moon Immortal Palace event. Qing Star Lord suffered severe injuries in the Crescent Moon Immortal Palace. After returning, he announced that he would be in seclusion. After Qing Star Lord closed up for a hundred years, he suddenly left Star Emperor Mountain and never heard from again.

Because of Qing Star Lord's departure, Star Emperor Mountain was without a Star Lord and fell into a struggle for the Star Lord position. This lasted for more than a thousand years, until more than a thousand years later, a brilliant and talented expert emerged from True Star. He was the third Star Lord, Le Tianyi. Le Tianyi forcefully suppressed the three major families and revitalized Star Emperor Mountain. Unfortunately, before Le Star Lord could completely destroy the three major families, a terrible star space war broke out. Le Star Lord also fell in the star space during that war."

Chi Huo'er's tone carried some sadness. He seemed to be thinking that if Le Tianyi hadn't fallen, how could a mere Zhu Qu dare to be so arrogant in True Star?

"The fourth Star Lord, Lou Chuanhe, was Le Star Lord's disciple. After Le Star Lord fell, he turned the tide and prevented Star Emperor Mountain from collapsing. However, in order to investigate the third Star Lord, his master's death, he disappeared into the star space and never returned."

Speaking of this, Chi Huo'er pointed to the jade boxes and said, "The jade boxes that Qing Star Lord left behind initially numbered seventeen. Later Star Lords used some of them. The ones that were not used were left here for the next Star Lord. Chi Star Lord took away one of the jade boxes. Later, he obtained a Nine Luo Star Fruit and placed it here."

Hearing these words, Mo Wuji suddenly felt very ashamed.

Compared to the previous Star Lords, he seemed too selfish. After seeing the six jade boxes here, his first thought was not to leave them for the next Star Lord, but to hope that there were more jade boxes.

Compared to the selflessness of the previous Star Lords, his identification with Star Emperor Mountain was so low. Even Chi Huo'er, who had been guarding the Star Lord for hundreds of years, made him feel ashamed.

Seeming to see Mo Wuji's shame, Chi Huo'er said, "Generally, when the previous Star Lords cultivated, the Star Lord Peak was sufficient. It was only when they broke through bottlenecks that they would use these spirit stone fragments. I see that the Star Lord's cultivation technique seems to require a large amount of spiritual energy, so the Star Lord doesn't need to think too much. Since these were left behind by the previous Star Lords, you can take them and use them as you please."

For the past few months, Chi Huo'er had been guarding outside Mo Wuji's Star Lord Peak. He had long recognized the horror of Mo Wuji's absorption of spiritual energy. He knew that ordinary cultivation resources were probably far from enough for this new Star Lord to absorb.

"Thank you, Manager Chi, for telling me this. I have enough with these. I'll leave the rest for the next Star Lord." Mo Wuji only took the Nine Luo Star Fruit and two other jade boxes containing spirit stone fragments.

Mo Wuji naturally wouldn't believe the words that the spiritual energy of Star Lord Peak was enough for the other Star Lords to cultivate. Even if the resources required were less, they would know that these spirit stone fragments could allow their strength to improve faster. He didn't believe that the other Star Lords didn't know this.

Since everyone knew, and still maintained restraint in their demand for these spirit stone fragments, it was clear that every Star Lord of Star Emperor Mountain was a person of principle.

Mo Wuji was the Star Lord, and since he had made a decision, Chi Huo'er naturally wouldn't say anything more.

After hesitating slightly, Mo Wuji took out a cultivation technique from his ring and placed it on the jade plate. Then he said, "Manager Chi, let's go out."

Mo Wuji took out the reverse cultivation method of his Immortal Mortal Technique. He felt that since he had taken what he needed from Star Emperor Mountain, he should also leave something behind.

The true Immortal Mortal Technique belonged to the Heavenly Secrets Sect. He was now the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secrets Sect, so he naturally couldn't leave it to Star Emperor Mountain. This reverse cultivation method was modified by himself. If someone could cultivate it in the future, it would be considered fate.

"Yes." Chi Huo'er didn't say much about Mo Wuji placing something on the jade plate.

After leaving Star Lord Palace, Mo Wuji was about to tell Chi Huo'er that he was going to continue his closed-door cultivation when Chi Huo'er suddenly said, "Hall Master Su just sent a message saying that Yan Huimeng of Heavenly Pond Villa has come to visit the Star Lord again. Does the Star Lord have time to meet her?"

Mo Wuji waved his hand without hesitation. "No need. Tell her that I'm at a critical juncture in my closed-door cultivation and will need at least a year before I come out."

Mo Wuji had no interest in this kind of blind date. He now had a Nine Luo Star Fruit and thirty spirit stone fragments. This should be enough for him to advance to the Human Immortal Realm.

After he advanced to the Human Immortal Realm, and cultivated the Star Word Art to the fourth level, even if he couldn't beat that Zhu Qu, it shouldn't be like last time, right?

......

Star Lord Hall, Su Xuan was personally accompanying a noble woman in conversation. Behind the noble woman stood a white-skirted girl with unparalleled beauty.

The white-skirted girl's appearance made even Su Xuan, a Human Immortal Realm expert whose cultivation was far higher than hers, feel somewhat inferior.

This noble woman was Yan Huimeng, the Villa Master of Heavenly Pond Villa, who had come to find Mo Wuji several times. The white-skirted girl was her disciple, Zhuang Xiyue, who was also the number one beauty of True Star Continent.

"Villa Master Yan, Manager Chi has received the message and will be here soon." Su Xuan's tone was amiable and extremely polite. Even though she was now considered the second most powerful person in Star Emperor Mountain, she didn't dare to be negligent towards the Villa Master of Heavenly Pond Villa.

Yan Huimeng didn't show any impatience on her face and said with a smile, "No rush. The stronger the Star Lord is, the better it is for my True Star."

"Star Lord Peak Manager Chi Huo'er greets Hall Master Su, greets Villa Master Yan." As Yan Huimeng spoke, Chi Huo'er walked in.

Not seeing Mo Wuji, a trace of disappointment flashed in Yan Huimeng's eyes. She then said, "Manager Chi, you are too kind. Has the Star Lord not come out of seclusion yet?"

Chi Huo'er said with a slightly apologetic expression, "The Star Lord will need another year before he comes out of seclusion. I truly apologize for neglecting Villa Master."

The disappointment in Yan Huimeng's eyes had long disappeared. She still said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. Another reason for this visit is to ask the Star Lord if he has heard of a person named Mo Tiancheng?"
