Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 919: The Humiliation of the Heavenly Mortal Sect
Mo Wuji was indeed greatly startled upon seeing this black-skinned, narrow-eyed cultivator. It was precisely the disguise he had taken on after consuming the Concealment Pill. He had later added a mask on top of this disguise.
In other words, if he hadn't consumed the Concealment Pill and had directly used the mask, he would have already been discovered. Or rather, if the guy chasing him was even slightly stronger, reaching the level of a God Monarch, then his Concealment Pill probably wouldn't have been able to hide his original appearance.
"Still careless, it was only a little bit."
Mo Wuji quickly withdrew his spiritual will, because being discovered would likely implicate the entire Tian Fan Sect.
Since Mo Wuji didn't go out, naturally no one could catch the person who took the Medicine Cauldron Stone. After another two months passed, when Mo Wuji's cultivation had completely stabilized at the second level of the God Nourishing Stage, Wei Jie once again came to his room.
"Elder Wei Jie, I told you I'd definitely compensate you with a mask in the future. It's no use you looking for me every day," Mo Wuji said before Elder Wei Jie could speak, putting the unpleasant words first.
Wei Jie stared at Mo Wuji for a long time before chuckling, "Some time ago, the God Domain Nest was looking everywhere for a guy who took the Medicine Cauldron Stone, that guy wouldn't happen to be you, would it?"
Mo Wuji was shocked inwardly, and he secretly admired Wei Jie's shrewdness. On the surface, he still said speechlessly, "It's me, I even killed a few God Monarchs."
Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Wei Jie also laughed heartily. Mo Wuji had indeed borrowed a mask from him, but the guy who was being chased for taking the Medicine Cauldron Stone was said to be an extremely powerful Heavenly God expert from the God Domain Nest. Even some Heavenly Gods at the Great Circle of Perfection from large sects might not be his match.
If it really was Mo Wuji, then Mo Wuji probably wouldn't be here talking to him.
"Speak, what is it you want from me this time? Let's make this clear, I don't have anything to compensate you with right now, we'll talk about it in the future," Mo Wuji said, seeing that Wei Jie had been bluffed by him.
Wei Jie chuckled, "The mask thing isn't urgent for now. This time, the combat competition for the newly hatched God Domain Nest has started, do you want to go take a look, and maybe even participate?"
Mo Wuji shook his head, "I haven't even signed up, and with my cultivation, it's a waste of time."
"Who told you that you need to sign up? Let me tell you, as long as you're a cultivator in the God Domain Nest, you can participate in the competition. The competition is divided into God Nourishing and Heavenly God levels, and this time, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be very strong. If you're lucky with your cultivation, it's not impossible to snag a spot," Wei Jie said, looking at Mo Wuji with disdain.
Even though he was an elder, Mo Wuji's status in the Tian Fan Sect was no lower than his. So when he spoke to Mo Wuji, he didn't need to consider seniority. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't. This guy Mo Wuji actually tricked him out of a low-grade divine artifact mask.
"There's such a thing?" Mo Wuji wanted to participate immediately when he heard that it was possible to pass even with low cultivation. However, he quickly suppressed the thought, because he already had a spot, and not participating was more beneficial to him.
"Of course, that's why I came to call you," Wei Jie patted Mo Wuji on the shoulder. "I won't hold a grudge."
Mo Wuji chuckled, "I don't want to go, I still want to cultivate in seclusion."
Wei Jie suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Mo Wuji, don't you know that our five spots are all being exchanged away?"
"What?" Mo Wuji looked at Wei Jie in surprise. The Tian Fan Sect had five spots, as Ancestor Pang Jie had said, and he believed that Pang Jie wouldn't lie to him. Even if those five spots were being exchanged away, Pang Jie would have told him in advance, rather than having Wei Jie tell him.
Wei Jie looked at Mo Wuji with sympathy, then took out a crystal ball and said, "Ancestor isn't at the residence temporarily, the reason is in this crystal ball, take a look for yourself."
After Mo Wuji activated the crystal ball, Ancestor Pang Jie's figure appeared in the void. He said to Mo Wuji with a face full of apology, "Mo Wuji, I need to go to the God King Hall of the God Domain Nest. My Tian Fan Sect has a stone tablet with the words 'Tian Fan Sect' inscribed by Ancestor Guan Huan. No matter what, I must bring this stone tablet back to the Tian Fan Sect. Among the many requirements proposed by the Nine Evolutions God Sect, there are five spots to enter the newly hatched God Domain Nest. Mo Wuji, I will try my best to reserve a spot for you..."
Mo Wuji stared blankly at the gradually dissipating figure of Ancestor Pang Jie. He felt no resentment in his heart. If there was anything, it was only deep helplessness and humiliation.
This humiliation wasn't just his, it was also the Tian Fan Sect's, and Ancestor Pang Jie's.
The 'Tian Fan Sect' stone tablet nominated by Ancestor Guan Huan appeared in the Nine Evolutions God Sect, which meant that the Nine Evolutions God Sect had snatched it away back then.
The Nine Evolutions God Sect stole the nomination stone tablet of Tian Fan Sect’s ancestor, and in the end, it demanded Tian Fan Sect to exchange it back with treasures. As for those five places, Mo Wuji didn't need to think to know that this was the Nine Evolutions God Sect’s method of suppressing Tian Fan Sect. It wouldn’t let Tian Fan Sect rise, after all, anything could happen in the God Domain Nest. If a disciple of Tian Fan Sect were to obtain an opportunity in the newly hatched God Domain Nest, it would only erect a greater and stronger enemy for the Nine Evolutions God Sect.
He could imagine the humiliation and helplessness in Ancestor Pang Jie’s words. This was the helplessness of being inferior to others in strength. Otherwise, how could he, a God King ancestor, break his promise to the sect’s disciples for the sake of a place?
Mo Wuji bowed respectfully to the crystal ball and said, “Please rest assured, Senior Brother, I will definitely obtain the qualification to enter the God Domain Nest through my own means.”
After saying that, Mo Wuji turned to Wei Jie, who was stunned on the side, and said, “Elder Wei Jie, please tell me the methods and conditions for participating in the God Domain Nest combat selection, I want to participate in the combat selection.”
“Mo Wuji, what did you call the ancestor just now?” Wei Jie still looked at Mo Wuji in disbelief.
“Don’t worry about that, quickly introduce the important points.” Mo Wuji took a breath. So what if he was exposed? When he first arrived in the Immortal World, he was hunted down by three Great Immortal Emperors and several large sects. Didn’t he still survive?
Thinking of this, Mo Wuji suddenly felt as if something in his heart had suddenly opened up, and he felt an indescribable confidence.
“Mo Wuji, I feel like you’ve changed somehow,” Wei Jie immediately noticed Mo Wuji’s change.
Mo Wuji smiled, “It’s because I was thinking too much before, so I was hesitant in doing things. Fortunately, I still have some luck…”
Speaking of having some luck, Mo Wuji suddenly paused. He thought of the Medicine Cauldron Stone he encountered before leaving the hatched God Domain Nest. Could that be luck?
Thinking of this, Mo Wuji thought of tearing apart the great array that plundered the Immortal World's fortune and returning the fortune to the Immortal World. Could it be that even though he broke the great array, he still obtained some of the Immortal World’s fortune in it?
This was very likely true, otherwise, why would the Medicine Cauldron Stone fall in front of him?
The fortune is also limited, and once is used it is used. Although Mo Wuji cannot use the fortune actively, he also knows that if he can escape to the God Domain and get the Medicine Cauldron Stone is all fortune, then his fortune must have been used a lot.
“Big Brother Mo, are you going to participate in the combat selection?” Ku Cai, not knowing where he heard the news, rushed out.
Mo Wuji put away the distractions and said, “Ku Cai, you continue to cultivate in seclusion here, we’ll talk about it when I come back.”
Ku Cai’s strength was not enough to participate in the selection, and since he was going to participate in the selection, he wouldn’t just take one place and be done. He would help Ku Cai get a place as well.
After Ku Cai went back in, Mo Wuji asked, “Elder Wei Jie, is it only me from our Tian Fan Sect who is participating in the selection?”
Wei Jie looked at Mo Wuji speechlessly, “Mo Wuji, you’re really confident. The entire Tian Fan Sect has already gone except for you. Oh, and Ku Cai.”
Hearing that he was actually the only disciple who hadn’t gone to participate in the selection, Mo Wuji suddenly became embarrassed. He also guessed that Elder Wei Jie had come specifically to ask him if he wanted to participate in the selection, besides telling him Ancestor Pang Jie’s words.
Seeing Mo Wuji’s embarrassment, Wei Jie no longer hit Mo Wuji and explained, “This selection to enter the newly hatched God Domain Nest, anyone can participate, as long as your cultivation is in the God Nourishing or Heavenly God realm. There are several rounds in the selection. The first round is to go to the God Domain Nest Heaven and Earth Plaza to comprehend the rules. Within ten days, how many Heaven and Earth rules you can comprehend will determine how many places you get. The second round is to collect Five Elements Sand in the God Domain Nest Sea. Every time you collect a complete set of Five Elements Sand, you get a place…”
“Wait, Elder Wei Jie, where is the God Domain Nest Sea? How come I don’t know?” Mo Wuji hurriedly asked.
He knew about Five Elements Sand. He had a piece of Five Elements Soil, and the predecessor of Five Elements Soil was formed by Five Elements Sand.
Don’t think that just because Five Elements Sand is the predecessor of Five Elements Soil, Five Elements Soil is more precious than Five Elements Sand. Five Elements Soil is a kind of soil that contains five elements, while Five Elements Sand is five different sands. If this Five Elements Sand is collected, it is more precious than Five Elements Soil.
“There are many places in the God Domain Nest that you don’t know about. Do you know the God Domain Nest Desert? Do you know the God Domain Nest Sword Pool?” Wei Jie looked at Mo Wuji with disdain and said, “The God Domain Nest Sea is an independent sea, which is shrouded by the endless fog of the God Domain Nest all year round. The sea is boundless, and it is difficult for people to sink in. It is impossible to use your spiritual will here, and your divine essence is also severely suppressed. That Five Elements Sand is hidden in the bottom of the God Domain Nest Sea…”
Anyway, after Mo Wuji tricked him out of a mask, he was all kinds of displeased.
Mo Wuji didn’t care about Wei Jie’s attitude and asked in surprise, “Elder Wei Jie, doesn’t that mean that every set of Five Elements Sand is very difficult to find?”
Wei Jie snorted and said, “Did you think that comprehending the rules in the God Domain Nest Heaven and Earth Plaza is easy? There are billions of rules in the Heaven and Earth Plaza. Don’t even say ten days, even if it’s a year, you may not be able to comprehend one of them. Moreover, the simple rules have already been comprehended, and every time a rule is comprehended there, it loses one.”
