"Bang!" The sound of the protective array being struck woke up Mo Wuji, who was tempering his physical body. He immediately changed his clothes, rushed out of the pool, and landed at the edge of the array.

Standing outside the array were three figures: a black-faced man with a square face and a height of over ten feet, a petite and pretty woman with blonde hair, and a young man who was so short that he was only half the height of the black-faced man, Mo Wuji estimated around five feet tall at most.

Mo Wuji recognized the black-faced man as the black ape. The guy hadn't gotten the Shape Dao Fruit and had transformed anyway.

"It's you?" The black-faced man exclaimed in surprise when he saw Mo Wuji. His divine sense had seen Mo Wuji when he and Li Chu fought.

In his opinion, even if Li Chu was severely injured, it would be easy to kill an ant like Mo Wuji. He didn't expect that Li Chu was gone now, and Mo Wuji was here instead. The obvious fact was that Li Chu had been killed by Mo Wuji.

"That's right, it's me. What do you mean by bombarding my cave's protective array for no reason?" Mo Wuji's expression was somewhat unsightly, and his aura suddenly rose. The surrounding space even trembled under his pressure.

Mo Wuji was well aware that these three fellows looked like humans, but they were actually top-tier demon beasts from this place. Any one of them would be no less powerful than the Water Li. However, he was not afraid. He had been in seclusion for several years, and although he had not yet entered the Immortal Emperor realm, his strength was much stronger than when he first arrived. Moreover, this was his territory, and the edges were all covered with trapping and killing arrays.

Sensing Mo Wuji's aura, which was no less than that of a Grand Immortal Emperor, all three of them subconsciously took a step back. At the same time, they were secretly shocked, knowing that Mo Wuji's strength was definitely not inferior to any of the three of them.

The pretty woman giggled and cupped her fists, saying, "Since this big brother lives here, that stupid Li Chu must be gone."

Mo Wuji pretended to be surprised and said, "I really don't know about that. When I came here, I thought this place was pretty good, and no one bothered me, so I made it my cave."

He wouldn't admit that he killed Li Chu. He was willing to fight, but he couldn't give them a handle.

The pretty woman smiled again and said, "It doesn't matter. Since that stupid Li Chu isn't here, it's the same if you're willing. Let me introduce myself first, my name is Hu ChunChun, and I come from Submerged Abyss. These two are Brother Yuan Mo from Split Mountain and Brother Jin TieHe from Phoenix Nest."

Mo Wuji also cupped his fists and said, "I've heard of you, I've heard of you. You must all be experts here, but I still don't understand why such experts would forcibly attack my cave."

Besides the black ape, Yuan Mo, who Mo Wuji had some familiarity with, he didn't know what the backgrounds of Hu ChunChun and Jin TieHe were. One thing Mo Wuji was very clear about was that to survive here, he must not weaken his aura. If he let these powerful demon beasts attack his cave like this, it would be difficult for him to survive here in the future.

"May I ask for this friend's name?" Hu ChunChun's tone was gentle and humble.

"My name is Mo Wuji," Mo Wuji said calmly, while his killing intent rose. If this woman continued to beat around the bush, he would attack directly.

"Brother Mo, please calm down. The thing is, we found a good ruin, but we're short of one person to open it. We originally wanted to find Li Chu to go with us, but since Li Chu isn't here, if Brother Mo is willing, the four of us can team up and go," Hu ChunChun quickly said.

So the Water Li he killed was called Li Chu. Mo Wuji said unhurriedly, "I've only been here for a few years. Although I'm confident in my abilities, I'm also afraid of being ambushed. There are many experts here. You want to find a passerby like me to participate? I'm not very brave, and I don't dare to go until I understand everything."

The short Jin TieHe suddenly said, "Brother Mo, you can drive away Li Chu, so you're no worse than any of us. It's not that we don't look for other people, but both Diao Hen and Bao Bu are guys who like to eat alone. We don't get along with them either. We sincerely invite you to go together this time. Of course, if Brother Mo really doesn't want to, we won't force you."

Mo Wuji felt that Jin TieHe's tone didn't sound like a lie, and besides, these guys should have come to look for Li Chu.

Thinking of this, Mo Wuji cupped his fists and said, "I wonder if you could tell me what that ruin is about?"

Jin TieHe and the other two looked at each other, and then Hu ChunChun said to Mo Wuji, "Brother Mo, I believe you must have heard of the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor, right?"

Mo Wuji was very embarrassed. He had really never heard of any Three Treasures Buddha Emperor. From Hu ChunChun's tone, it seemed that the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor was very famous.

"Legend has it that the ruin is the place where the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor fell," Hu ChunChun continued.

"Sister Hu, I really don't know much about the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor. Please tell me about him briefly," Mo Wuji quickly asked.

Hu ChunChun and the other two stared blankly at Mo Wuji. In their opinion, no matter what race Mo Wuji came from, it was impossible not to know the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor.

With Mo Wuji's strength, he must have cultivated for tens of thousands of years, right? Would a cultivator who has cultivated for tens of thousands of years not know the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor?

Hu ChunChun quickly recovered. Whether Mo Wuji knew the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor or not, she patiently explained, "In the past, a cultivator with extraordinary talent appeared in the demon race. No one knows his name now, and the name he left behind is the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor. Because he has three treasures, he shook the universe. This person was born in the demon race, but he cultivated the Buddhist Dao. Moreover, he had a thorough understanding of the Buddhist Dao, and his Dao intent was profound. In a short period of time, he entered the peak of the Buddhist Dao.

At this time, he left the demon race and went to hundreds of other races. Among these races, he continued to integrate his own Buddhist Dao, and at the same time, he constantly passed on his Buddhist Dao. The Three Treasures Buddha Emperor doesn't know how many inheritances he left behind, and finally disappeared into the vast void. The ruin we found is rumored to be the place where the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor once secluded himself. But we suspect that that place is where the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor fell."

Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, "That Three Treasures Buddha Emperor has three treasures that shook the universe. What are those treasures?"

"A Buddha Lotus Platform, the Seven Buddha Sutra, and the Great Kun Buddha Lamp," Hu ChunChun replied.

Mo Wuji was a little stunned. He had heard of all three of these things. He had even seen the Great Kun Buddha Lamp. Wasn't it the treasure on Su Xi? These three things were the three supreme treasures of the Buddhist sect in the Immortal Realm. How could they be the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor's things?

He had a copy of the jade slip of the Seven Buddha Sutra on him, which he had exchanged with the Great Ning Monk. Because his cultivation speed had always been very fast, and he had many of his own divine abilities, he had not read the Seven Buddha Sutra. He didn't expect that someone would now ask him to go with them to find the cave of the owner of the Seven Buddha Sutra, the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor's ruin.

Seeing Mo Wuji silent, Hu ChunChun continued, "The Three Treasures Buddha Emperor cultivated to the extreme. It is said that he has already found the realm after the Grand Immortal Emperor. We are all facing the same problem of being unable to improve further. If we can find the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor's ruin, it will definitely be more valuable to us than secluding ourselves for tens of thousands of years."

"Isn't the realm after the Grand Immortal Emperor the Dao Emperor?" Mo Wuji asked deliberately. He had heard Feng Huang say before that it was not the Dao Emperor at all.

Yuan Mo, who had been silent all along, sneered, "That's just their wishful thinking. The Grand Immortal Emperor is equivalent to our demon race's ninth-level peak powerhouse. According to their theory, our demon race's tenth level is equal to the Dao Emperor. In fact, the tenth level and the ninth level are only a change in quantity, and there is no qualitative change at all. It's ridiculous to talk about Dao Emperor."

He didn't expect that Yuan Mo, this big black guy, could actually say such reasonable things. Mo Wuji looked at this guy with different eyes. In any case, he wanted to go to the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor's ruin to take a look. Not only did two of those three treasures have some connection with him, but he himself was now stuck in the Immortal Reverent realm and could not make any progress. He wanted to know how the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor had allowed the Grand Immortal Emperor to take another step forward.

"Okay, I agree, let's all go together," Mo Wuji agreed to the invitation of these three great demon beasts without hesitation.

Making some friends with these great demon beasts would give him a few familiar faces to turn to when he wanted to leave this place in the future.

"Brother Mo is indeed a generous person," Jin TieHe praised.

"Immortal Friend Mo, I wonder if you could trade me a Shape Dao Fruit that you obtained here from Li Chu?" After hearing Mo Wuji agree to go with them to find the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor's ruin, Yuan Mo suddenly transmitted a message to Mo Wuji.

The value of Shape Dao Fruit wasn't actually very high for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji knew very well that this kind of fruit must be invaluable to Yuan Mo. He transmitted a message without hesitation, "Of course, I can. After this ruin exploration is over, Dao Friend Yuan and I will trade in person."

"Okay, okay, thank you Brother Mo, thank you Brother Mo..." Yuan Mo's tone of transmission was a little excited. He didn't expect Mo Wuji to be so easy to talk to. If he had known that Mo Wuji was so easy to talk to, and that this place had been snatched by Mo Wuji, he would have come to trade long ago.

He had previously taken out a pile of things and wanted to exchange them with Li Chu for a Shape Dao Fruit, but Li Chu was unwilling. In the end, he and Li Chu were both injured.

"Dao Friend Hu, please lead the way. Which side is closer, let's go out from that side," Mo Wuji said with a smile, wanting to ask about the road to leave this place in passing.

Hu ChunChun quickly said, "That won't work. The two areas occupied by Diao Hen and Bao Bu are not only large, but they have also locked the exit here. If we are discovered by these two when we go out, they will definitely not let it go. We'll go through Brother Yuan's and Brother Jin's territory. Although it's a bit of a detour, it won't delay anything."

Mo Wuji was secretly vigilant, fortunately he was not in a hurry to go out. Seeing Hu ChunChun and Jin TieHe mention Diao Hen and Bao Bu twice, they were very afraid of them. If he was trapped by these two guys, it would really not be a good thing.
