Mo Wuji thanked Immortal Emperor Wen Lan for her guidance and replied, "Senior Sister Wen Lan, I do know Lei Hongji. I truly admire his talent; at least, it's much better than mine..."

"Wuji, how do you know that Lei Hongji's talent is stronger than yours? To be honest, although I cannot accurately discern the origin of your inheritance, I do know that few in the Immortal World can compare to your talent. Otherwise, you wouldn't have entered the Immortal King Realm at such a young age. That Lei Hongji is at most comparable to you, perhaps not even having stepped into the Immortal King Realm," Immortal Emperor Wen Lan asked, puzzled, before Mo Wuji could finish.

Mo Wuji felt helpless inside. Saying his talent could compare to Lei Hongji's was an overestimate. Not to mention Lei Hongji, any cultivator's talent was stronger than his. Because he had no talent at all; he was just someone without spiritual roots.

Standing to the side, Shen Muqing felt even more shocked. She had known Mo Wuji was not simple, and she was right. How could Mo Wuji be just not simple? Even a nine-star genius had to curl up in front of Mo Wuji. Nayehe had a great background, but even he didn't dare to compete with her for a seat on the transfer tower to the Shattered World, all because of Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji was a Pill Emperor, and his advancement to the Grand Luo Immortal Realm in such a short time was already unbelievable to her. Now, Mo Wuji had even entered the Immortal King Realm. She, Shen Muqing, was at least a seven-star genius, but her cultivation progress was simply appalling compared to Mo Wuji's.

She couldn't help but think of Murong Xiangyu. That woman was utterly blind, actually dumping a genius like Mo Wuji to curry favor with some trash. If it were her, she would guard him with her life...

Thinking of this, Shen Muqing stole a glance at Mo Wuji, feeling黯然(àn rán, disheartened) in her heart. She knew that although her appearance was not ugly, it would be difficult for Mo Wuji to remember her.

While Shen Muqing was lamenting her fate, she didn't know that Murong Xiangyu's cultivation was now even higher than Mo Wuji's. She had long been an Immortal King, and might even be approaching the mid-stage of the Immortal King Realm now.

Mo Wuji told the truth, "I entered the Immortal King Realm because of some opportunities, and Lei Hongji isn't much older than me. Yet his cultivation speed is faster than mine. I suspect that if it weren't for entering the fourth level of the Shattered World, he would likely have already entered the Immortal King Realm. Even so, he will immediately step into the Immortal King Realm as soon as he comes out of the Shattered World. The reason I know so much about him is that we come from the same cultivation world."

"I see. Continue," Immortal Emperor Wen Lan nodded.

Wei Zidao was equally shocked. He had always suspected that Mo Wuji hadn't advanced to the Immortal King Realm. However, his dao was not as good as Immortal Emperor Wen Lan's, and he couldn't see Mo Wuji's true cultivation, so he was never sure. Now he knew that Mo Wuji had just advanced to the Immortal King Realm. This showed how powerful his Sect Leader was. Back then, a cultivator who wasn't even an Immortal King had forcibly brought them out of the Sword Prison, and now he had even created the Ping Fan Immortal Sect.

Mo Wuji continued, "Lei Hongji is too selfish. I believe that his strength may allow him to dominate the Immortal World in the future, but his heart may not be big enough to take the Immortal World as his responsibility. If the future of the Immortal World is placed on this person, I'm afraid it would be drinking poison to quench thirst."

Mo Wuji's words were very clear. If Lei Hongji ever encountered something that moved him, he might lead the destruction of the Immortal World. As for protecting the Immortal World, that was a joke.

Immortal Emperor Wen Lan smiled slightly, "Wuji, you are worrying too much. If Lei Hongji is qualified to protect the Immortal World in the future, he will not abandon it. Because he is not in that position now, you only see his nature. In the Immortal World, everyone has their own nature in the process of striving to improve their strength, and even does some unethical things. But once faced with major issues of right and wrong, even when their place of survival is about to be destroyed, I believe anyone knows what to do."

Immortal Emperor Wen Lan didn't continue, thinking that Mo Wuji wouldn't understand now. Only when one reaches a certain height and stands in a certain position can one understand these things. This was not just the major issues of right and wrong she was talking about, but a kind of dao.

If Lei Hongji attains dao in the Immortal World, he must protect the Immortal World. Otherwise, he would be denying his own dao.

Mo Wuji was speechless, and he didn't argue with Immortal Emperor Wen Lan. He didn't need to argue with Immortal Emperor Wen Lan about such ethereal things.

He had originally wanted to say that Ji Yue was just as selfish, but now he had no interest in mentioning that woman again.

"Actually, I also think that you, Wuji, are qualified to be vigorously cultivated. It's a pity that the Grand Supreme Heaven trusts Yidao's calculations too much," Immortal Emperor Wen Lan sighed.

Luo Zizai, who hadn't spoken all along, suddenly said, "So you feel that Lei Hongji had a stroke of good luck and aren't feeling happy about it."

Mo Wuji was stunned. What did this mean? Lei Hongji being chosen as the guardian of the Immortal World and the Grand Supreme Heaven, what did he have to be unhappy about? Besides, he had no dealings with this Luo Zizai, so why was he targeting him?

Immortal Emperor Wen Lan quickly said, "Wuji, don't mind Immortal Friend Zizai's attitude, because he has a friend named Gui Jiancang."

Mo Wuji suddenly understood. Wasn't Gui Jiancang the Grand Elder of the Grand Sword Dao? He had been killed by his Ping Fan. No wonder this Zizai Immortal Emperor had always been lukewarm to him; so that was the problem.

"Don't worry, I won't have any other thoughts about you because of Gui Jiancang. The grudges between sects have nothing to do with me. Since Gui Jiancang was in the Grand Sword Dao, he had to accept that fate. I'm just telling the truth," Luo Zizai explained for himself.

As for whether it was true or false, no one knew.

Immortal Emperor Wen Lan continued to smooth things over, "Wuji, although Immortal Friend Zizai's words are a joke, they are also a fact. Lei Hongji was taken away by the Grand Supreme Heaven and will have endless cultivation resources. The Grand Supreme Heaven has ten great sacred lands for cultivation. It can be predicted that Lei Hongji will overcome all obstacles in the shortest possible time and stand at the very pinnacle. But I feel that your dao, Wuji, is extraordinary, and your talent is also extraordinary. So I hope to do everything we can to help you enter the Emperor Realm in the shortest possible time. This is the second thing I've come to you for today..."

Mo Wuji asked, puzzled, "Senior Sister Wen Lan? Didn't you say that Lei Hongji is the Immortal World's destined guardian? Why are you still supporting me?"

Immortal Emperor Wen Lan sighed, "Lei Hongji and Ji Yue are both cultivated by the Grand Supreme Heaven. Although the Grand Supreme Heaven says that it is for the sake of maintaining the Immortal World and the Grand Supreme Heaven, once that day comes and the Grand Supreme Heaven is unable to take care of the Immortal World, they will definitely not let Lei Hongji and Ji Yue, who they have cultivated, come to help the Immortal World. We are preparing for a rainy day."

Mo Wuji understood, "Senior Sister Wen Lan, you said several years ago that you planned to meet me. Did you have this plan at that time?"

Immortal Emperor Wen Lan shook her head, "No, at that time I just heard that your pill dao was amazing and wanted to cultivate you into an assistant. Although there are many talented pill dao cultivators in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, I can't really find anyone who satisfies me. This time, you were able to fight Lei Hongji to a draw, and I realized that you are not just powerful in the pill dao."

Mo Wuji laughed inwardly. Fight Lei Hongji to a draw? Lei Hongji was clearly unable to beat him and ran away, okay?

Immortal Emperor Wen Lan seemed to sense Mo Wuji's thoughts and said seriously, "Wuji, I have met Lei Hongji separately. In the previous Grand Luo Immortal battle, you did gain a slight advantage. But I am sure that once Lei Hongji advances to the Immortal King Realm, his strength will show a terrifying upward trend. At that time, I am afraid you will no longer be his opponent. Moreover, when he fought with you, he did not use all his strength and still had killing moves that he did not reveal, which you do not know."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister Wen Lan," Mo Wuji bowed in thanks.

Even though he believed that Lei Hongji definitely couldn't beat him now, he didn't need to say it here. Lei Hongji had killing moves that he didn't take out, so did he not have any killing moves? If he hadn't been afraid of being seriously injured and besieged on the fourth level of the Shattered World, he still had the Cycle of Life and Death.

Seeing Mo Wuji accept humbly, Wen Lan said very satisfied, "Wuji, there is a difficulty in this, that is, that cultivation sacred land is Immortal Friend Zizai's. What I can provide you with, besides various treasures of heaven and earth, are only various magical powers and cultivation methods. So, you need to go to the Great Zizai Immortal Domain to cultivate. And Immortal Friend Zizai's only requirement is that you can take him as your teacher."

Hearing this, Shen Muqing sighed inwardly. She thought that her Ancestor did not understand Mo Wuji. First, Mo Wuji would definitely not think that he would be inferior to Lei Hongji after reaching the Immortal King. Second, Mo Wuji would definitely not take Luo Zizai as his teacher. She had contacted Mo Wuji many times and understood Mo Wuji better than her Ancestor.

Mo Wuji looked at Luo Zizai, who was stroking his beard, and felt a little speechless. Don't say that his Ping Fan Immortal Sect was a cultivation sacred land, even if the Ping Fan Immortal Sect was not a cultivation sacred land, he would not take Luo Zizai as his teacher. If he took Luo Zizai as his teacher, what would his Ping Fan be? How would Wei Zidao and the others get along?

"Thank you, Senior Sister Wen Lan, I don't have any plans to take a teacher for the time being," Mo Wuji immediately refused, without the slightest room for negotiation.

Immortal Emperor Wen Lan was stunned. In her opinion, any immortal in the Immortal World was based on cultivation resources. Mo Wuji established Ping Fan for the same reason, even destroying the Grand Sword Dao for cultivation resources. Logically speaking, Mo Wuji couldn't refuse her.

"Wuji, maybe I didn't make it clear just now. Immortal Friend Zizai's Immortal Marrow Pool sacred land is not inferior to the top ten cultivation sacred lands of the Grand Supreme Heaven, and may even be better. Coupled with the support of immortal spiritual herbs from my side, with your talent, it is not impossible to enter the Immortal Emperor Realm within a thousand years," Wen Lan quickly explained.

Mo Wuji stood up and bowed to Immortal Emperor Wen Lan again, "Thank you, Senior Sister Wen Lan, for your guidance and kindness this time. I still don't plan to take a teacher for the time being. If there is anything that Mo Wuji needs to help with in the future, just send me a message. Wuji takes his leave."

Mo Wuji said goodbye, and Wei Zidao and Tian Ni'ni, who were following Mo Wuji, also stood up, bowed and took their leave.

"Truly ungrateful, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth," Luo Zizai snorted coldly after Mo Wuji and the others left.
