"Who are you?" Mo Wuji asked calmly, looking at the monk before him.

Heng Ke was also a monk, and he suspected that this monk might be Heng Ke's helper. However, he wouldn't care even if all four of them attacked him at the same time.

Qing Yang quickly stepped forward and said, "Sect Leader Mo, please don't misunderstand. This is the Buddha Emperor Xing Shan from the Seven Buddha Great Zen Temple in the Buddha Luo Immortal Domain."

Xing Shan? Mo Wuji thought this was a loving name. Having witnessed the greed of several monks from the Great Kun Buddhist Sect, he had always lacked goodwill towards the Buddhist Sects in the Buddha Luo Immortal Domain. He did have some goodwill towards this Seven Buddha Great Zen Temple, though. Before entering the Outer Heaven Universe, he had met Da Ning, a monk from the Seven Buddha Great Zen Temple.

Monk Da Ning had a good nature, and he did things openly, unlike the Great Kun Buddhist Sect, which was full of schemes.

"This poor monk is Xing Shan." The monk Xing Shan had a kind face, and his tone was without any trace of anger.

Mo Wuji also clasped his fists and said, "So it's Immortal Friend Xing Shan. I had a brief encounter with Immortal Friend Da Ning of your temple before."

Hearing Mo Wuji mention Da Ning, Xing Shan quickly asked, "Is Da Ning well?"

Mo Wuji replied, "Immortal Friend Da Ning and I only had a brief encounter. We separated midway, and I haven't seen him since. I also haven't heard any news about him, so I don't know the specific situation."

"Alas!" Monk Xing Shan sighed and didn't ask any further.

"Did you all stop me because of something special?" Mo Wuji didn't continue to attack Heng Ke.

Everyone turned to look at Qing Yang, seemingly wanting her to explain the matter.

Qing Yang took the initiative to say, "Sect Leader Mo, before you came to the Immortal World, you were the sect leader of the Heavenly Secrets Sect, right?"

"That's right." Mo Wuji nodded. This matter could be found out with a simple investigation, so there was no need for him to hide it. With his current strength, he could take on however many enemies the Heavenly Secrets Sect had; there was nothing to fear.

Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Qing Yang breathed a slight sigh of relief and continued, "Someone in the Immortal World discovered a place that emits a violent aura of death and destruction. Anyone who enters it is sure to die. Later, someone finally came out alive, but they died as soon as they came out. The person only said two words: 'Heavenly Secrets'."

"Could you draw the location for me to take a look at?" Mo Wuji immediately became attentive upon hearing the words "Heavenly Secrets."

Qing Yang was clearly prepared, and upon hearing this, she took out a jade slip and handed it to Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji scanned it with his spiritual will and immediately recognized it. The outer edges of this jade slip were almost identical to the outer edges of the map jade slip that Su Zian had given him—that is, the blurred pattern on the Heavenly Secrets Sect Leader's token.

Mo Wuji had wanted to find this place for a long time, but he had been putting it off until today because he didn't have the specific location. He didn't expect someone else to discover it now, and it was a very dangerous place.

"Sect Leader Mo, we have been there once before. Both Buddha Emperor Xing Shan and Heavenly Emperor Gai Ao sensed a great danger there—a danger that, if not resolved, could cause the collapse of the entire Immortal World. Later, Buddha Emperor Xing Shan and Heavenly Emperor Gai Ao invited the Free Heaven Emperor and the Golden Bottle Immortal Emperor to go there, and they also sensed that the place would cause the collapse of the entire Immortal World.

"This matter is of great importance, and the four of us were preparing to come to the Immortal World to call upon strong individuals to investigate it together. We happened to learn of Sect Leader Mo's return, so we quickly came to invite you," Qing Yang said clearly and concisely.

Mo Wuji was well aware that it wasn't a coincidence that they learned of his return and came to invite him. They were originally planning to report to the Grand Supreme Heaven, but after learning that he had a conflict with the Grand Supreme Heaven and had killed many of their Grand Immortal Emperors, they temporarily changed their plans to invite him.

Of course, Mo Wuji wouldn't expose such things.

Now that the map location of Heavenly Secrets had appeared, he would have gone there even if Qing Yang and the others hadn't invited him.

"Sect Leader Mo, the Free Heaven Emperor is proficient in the Dao of Immortal Change. His insights are sometimes more accurate than ours," Gai Qing said again from the side.

The Free Heaven Emperor, Luo Zizai, was proficient in the art of divination, Mo Wuji knew. Mo Wuji didn't dare to praise the Free Heaven Emperor's level of skill. This guy proclaimed Lei Hongji as the savior of the Immortal World, which he simply didn't believe. Would a person like Lei Hongji sacrifice himself to save the Immortal World? That was ridiculous.

"I wonder where the Free Heaven Emperor is?" Mo Wuji asked casually.

Monk Xing Shan clasped his hands together and replied, "Immortal Friend Zizai and the Golden Bottle Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Devil Dao, along with several other Immortal Emperors, are guarding that place."

"Alright, I agree to go. Before that, I need to take care of some things, which will take some time," Mo Wuji said immediately.

Xing Shan clasped his hands together again, "I wonder what matters Sect Leader Mo needs to take care of, and how long will it take?"

Before Mo Wuji could speak, Qing Yang said, "If Sect Leader Mo intends to go to the Grand Supreme Heaven, I suggest you don't go. I have met Dao Emperor Zi Changluo of the Grand Supreme Heaven once, and he is an extremely cautious person. If the people he sent to the Immortal World don't return, he will close the passage to the Grand Supreme Heaven, even if you know where it is."

Mo Wuji thought to himself that Qing Yang was truly perceptive. He was indeed planning to go to the Grand Supreme Heaven to deal with Zi Changluo before returning. The truth was that he didn't know the way to the Grand Supreme Heaven; he could only guess that it was in the Gods' Immortal Domain, and he was originally planning to go to the Gods' Immortal Domain to find someone to ask.

Now, after hearing Qing Yang's words, he had to temporarily shelve this matter, no matter how eager he was to eliminate Zi Changluo. It seemed that the place where Heavenly Secrets appeared was something that had to be resolved quickly, both for his own sake and for the sake of the Immortal World.

"I need to return to my sect first to set up a protective grand formation, and then I will go there with you," Mo Wuji said, abandoning the idea of going to the Grand Supreme Heaven. However, setting up a protective formation at the Peaceful Brahma Immortal Sect was a must.

He had accidentally gone to the Outer Heaven Universe in the first place, which had prevented him from returning to the Immortal World for many years. Who knew what the place where Heavenly Secrets appeared was like? What if he couldn't return for a long time? His sect wouldn't even have a protective formation.

"Of course, we can also lend Sect Leader Mo a hand," Gai Qing said quickly.

Heng Ke, who hadn't spoken for a long time, seized the opportunity and said hastily, "To make up for the mistakes of my Great Kun Buddhist Sect, my Great Kun Buddhist Sect will provide the materials for the Peaceful Brahma Immortal Sect's protective formation."

This was a generous offer. Mo Wuji was a Ninth-Grade Immortal Formation Master, so the protective formation he set up would naturally be a Ninth-Grade Immortal Formation. The materials needed for a Ninth-Grade Immortal Formation were not only an astounding number, but also of an extremely high grade.

Hearing Heng Ke's words, Mo Wuji revealed a smile. "Very well, since the Great Kun Buddhist Sect has this intention and can do it, then I will consider the past matters settled."

Ninth-Grade Immortal Formation? Hehe, that was a thing of the past. The protective formation that Mo Wuji was going to set up now was a grand formation that surpassed the Ninth Grade. He wouldn't let go until he had taken away most of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect's savings.

……

Ten days later, Heng Ke, whose face had turned pale from providing materials, finally saw Mo Wuji complete the protective formation for the Peaceful Brahma Immortal Sect.

The Great Kun Buddhist Sect's savings were among the most substantial in the entire Buddhist Domain, but Mo Wuji's protective formation had almost emptied them.

While Heng Ke's heart ached, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally resolved the matter of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect offending Sect Leader Mo. Otherwise, the Great Sword Dao was a lesson to be learned. Or they could learn from the Thunder Sect and disappear without a trace. The disappearance of an immortal sect basically meant the end of that sect.

The Peaceful Brahma Immortal Sect had expanded several times its previous size, and this time, due to the large number of people supporting the sect, it was built with even greater grandeur.

Mo Wuji had originally planned to build a large-scale Thunder Refinement Pool, but Monk Xing Shan was anxious about the matter of the Heavenly Secrets location, so he could only temporarily build a Thunder Refinement Pool for Mo Qingche to cultivate in, and then followed the others to leave the Peaceful Brahma Immortal Sect and head to the location where Heavenly Secrets had appeared.

……

"What a fine flying chariot! This flying chariot hasn't been refined for long. Could it be the work of Tool Emperor Xu Suren?" On the flying chariot, Gai Qing looked at the array flags and engraved array patterns on the edge of the flying chariot in astonishment.

In the Immortal World, there were very few Tool Emperors who could refine Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts. Mo Wuji's Ninth-Grade flying chariot was top-notch in terms of both speed and defense. In Gai Qing's view, only Xu Suren could refine such a flying chariot.

Qing Yang sighed, "Heavenly Emperor, you've made a mistake this time. If I'm not mistaken, this flying chariot should have been refined by Sect Leader Mo himself."

Gai Qing was stunned. When Mo Wuji set up the sect's protective formation that surpassed the Ninth Grade, he was already doubting his eyes. Now you're telling me that Mo Wuji is also a Ninth-Grade Tool Emperor? This…"

"It was indeed refined by me," Mo Wuji said with a smile.

"Sect Leader Mo is truly the first genius I've ever seen in the Immortal World," Gai Qing exclaimed. "I didn't expect my judgment to be inferior to my daughter, Feiyan's."

Before meeting the brown-haired man who was chasing Yan Li, Mo Wuji would have felt quite pleased upon hearing such words. After seeing that brown-haired man, Mo Wuji knew that his skills were simply not worth mentioning.

It was like when he had cultivated to the Human Immortal Realm in the Realm of Cultivation, he had a feeling of standing at the top of the world. The reason he had that feeling back then was because, although he was standing on the mountaintop, he was only seeing what was within his sight. In fact, in places beyond his sight, there were even higher, larger, and more majestic mountains.

Qing Yang felt pretty much the same as Gai Qing. She had once believed that Mo Wuji wouldn't be able to grow, and had rejected the initial idea of marrying Qing Ruoyue to Mo Wuji. If she had known that Mo Wuji could grow to this level today, she would have shamelessly tried to bring Ruoyue and Mo Wuji together.

"Sect Leader Mo, did Zhu Yin really have no chance of fighting back in your hands?" Qing Yang changed the topic, feeling regretful whenever she thought about the matter between Qing Ruoyue and Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji's expression turned serious. "No, that person is very strong. If he hadn't underestimated me and overestimated himself, even if I were to win against him, it wouldn't have been so easy."

Although Mo Wuji seemed to have defeated Zhu Yin easily, he was well aware that Zhu Yin hadn't used many of his skills, mainly because the guy's confidence had been inflated after coming out of the Soul Lock Prison, causing him to underestimate himself.

Of course, even if that guy hadn't underestimated him, Mo Wuji wouldn't have been afraid.

(That's all for today. Good night, friends!)
