Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 801 Starry Sky Slanting Sea Island
Both Hu Chun'chun and Jin Tiehe were extremely fast, appearing like streaks of light and shadow.
Hu Chun'chun was moving so quickly to see if Mo Wuji's speed matched his imposing aura. After less than half an incense stick's time, Hu Chun'chun, Jin Tiehe, and Yuan Mo were all secretly shocked. No matter how fast or slow they went, whether they turned or moved stealthily, Mo Wuji appeared to be strolling leisurely, without the slightest effort.
It was clear that without flying magical treasures, none of the three were as fast as Mo Wuji. At that moment, Hu Chun'chun even suspected that Mo Wuji wasn't human, but a demon race with exceptional sensitivity to speed.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, during a previous fight, I accidentally tore my ring containing a map. Do you have a detailed spatial map jade slip of the Rift Ruins that you could give me?" Mo Wuji asked Yuan Mo softly while rushing forward.
"Rift Ruins map?" Yuan Mo repeated in surprise, then said, "I'm very sorry, I haven't been to the Rift Ruins, and I don't have a map."
Mo Wuji almost stopped. Unless he was an idiot, he would know that Wu Li's escape talisman didn't send him to the depths of the Rift Ruins. But with so many strong experts here, where exactly was this place?
"Ah, then forget it. I ended up here after fighting with someone and escaping. I don't even know the way to the Rift Ruins now," Mo Wuji said, wanting to know exactly where he was.
Yuan Mo asked with increasing bewilderment, "Fellow Daoist Mo, how did you come to the Starry Sky Oblique Sea Island?"
Is this the Starry Sky Oblique Sea Island? Mo Wuji sensed Yuan Mo's suspicion and knew he couldn't keep making things up, or the other party would definitely notice.
Mo Wuji sighed and said, "I was besieged by eight Dao Emperors. I managed to kill one before escaping with an escape talisman. I landed in the pool where Li Chu was. You know the rest."
Mo Wuji inexplicably multiplied the Dao Emperors who besieged him by eight, leaving Yuan Mo even more shocked. He secretly rejoiced that he hadn't forcibly tried to snatch the Shape Dao Fruit from him. Otherwise, he, Yuan Mo, wouldn't even know how he died.
"Brother Mo, your abilities are truly amazing. Yuan Mo admires you immensely," Yuan Mo said sincerely.
If Mo Wuji fought one Dao Emperor and killed him, Yuan Mo wouldn't find it strange at all. But to say that eight Dao Emperors besieged Mo Wuji, and Mo Wuji still managed to kill one and escape with an escape talisman, that was simply too terrifying. Even the eight great Emperors of the Starry Sky Oblique Sea Island weren't necessarily capable of that. At least, he, Yuan Mo, wasn't.
He didn't suspect Mo Wuji was lying. The fact that Mo Wuji killed Li Chu was undeniable. He had fought Li Chu several times and knew that Li Chu's strength wasn't lower than his at all. If Mo Wuji could kill Li Chu, he could kill him, Yuan Mo.
Mo Wuji waved his hand, "Brother Yuan, these things are nothing. How can I leave the Starry Sky Oblique Sea Island now? It's the first time I've even heard of it."
Mo Wuji had never even heard of this place. How could he leave?
Yuan Mo, perhaps wanting the Shape Dao Fruit on Mo Wuji's body, patiently said, "Fellow Daoist Mo, once you've come to the Starry Sky Oblique Sea Island, it might be difficult to leave. Do you know the Outer Heaven Corridor?"
"I know that. It's a very good place. I heard good things often appear there," Mo Wuji said without hesitation.
He had finally mentioned a place he knew, so he naturally had to be straightforward.
Yuan Mo explained, "Actually, the Starry Sky Oblique Sea Island is somewhat similar to the Outer Heaven Corridor. This island we're on is above the Oblique Sea, and the Oblique Sea is in the starry sky. So, this island is called the Starry Sky Oblique Sea Island. You're now inside the island. After you leave the island, you'll see what the Starry Sky Oblique Sea is like."
"Brother Yuan, do you have a map?" Mo Wuji quickly asked.
Yuan Mo took out a jade slip and handed it to Mo Wuji, "Brother Mo, this is the map of the Starry Sky Oblique Sea Island, but giving it to you is almost the same as not giving it to you."
"Why?" Mo Wuji asked, puzzled, as he took the map.
Yuan Mo sighed, "Because there are eight top experts in the Starry Sky Oblique Sea Island, called the Eight Great Emperors. There are countless powerful demon cultivators on the Starry Sky Oblique Sea Island, but the most powerful are the Eight Great Emperors. The Eight Great Emperors have almost protected a large part of the entire Starry Sky Oblique Sea with protective arrays. The Oblique Sea Island is even more tightly guarded. Anyone who wants to leave will alarm the Eight Great Emperors and be killed. No one is allowed to leave here."
Mo Wuji gasped, feeling even more fortunate that he hadn't chosen to flee rashly.
"Then wouldn't we still be discovered if we go out like this?" Mo Wuji quickly asked.
Yuan Mo chuckled, "Don't worry. With Hu Chun'chun leading the way, the places we go are safe. And we're not trying to leave the Starry Sky Oblique Sea, just looking for opportunities in the Oblique Sea. Many people go to the Oblique Sea to look for opportunities. We just need to give some benefits to those people when the time comes."
"Brother Yuan, are Diao Hen and Bao Bu also among the Eight Great Emperors?" Mo Wuji asked.
Yuan Mo replied, "Yes, they're also among the Eight Great Emperors. But those two are extremely difficult to talk to. And they're incredibly greedy. The place we're going this time is the territory of the Crimson-Eyed Turtle. Crimson-Eye is considered the easiest to talk to among the Eight Great Emperors."
Mo Wuji's spiritual will scanned the jade slip Yuan Mo gave him. When he saw the scene on the jade slip, he was also secretly amazed.
Mo Wuji had seen too many seas, but this was the first time he had seen the Starry Sky Oblique Sea, even if it was just on a jade slip. It was still majestic and imposing. The Starry Sky Oblique Sea allowed Mo Wuji to witness the unique sight of the vast starry sky. An boundless sea floated in the void, and from the jade slip's map, the vast sea seemed to be sloping in the void.
In the middle of this sloping sea, there were many islands. One of them was marked with a bright spot. Mo Wuji knew that the island marked with the bright spot should be the Starry Sky Oblique Sea Island they were on. In addition, the jade slip also marked the areas of some of the Eight Great Emperors.
Mo Wuji put away the jade slip. He planned to take a detailed look at it when he had time. At least, he had to find a safe way out, and then make thorough preparations before leaving this Oblique Sea Island.
Along the way, Mo Wuji saw many low and mid-grade immortal spiritual herbs. He even saw seventh-grade immortal spiritual herbs, showing how rich this Oblique Sea Island was.
Hu Chun'chun had obviously walked this road before. She turned left and right, moving extremely quickly.
After walking for almost half a day, Hu Chun'chun finally stopped and said to Mo Wuji and the others, "The area ahead is Brother Crimson-Eye's territory. There's a Path of Travel on Brother Crimson-Eye's territory that everyone can use. But if we want to enter the Starry Sky Oblique Sea from Brother Crimson-Eye's territory, we also need to take out something. I'll offer a high-grade immortal spiritual vein."
"I'll also offer a high-grade immortal spiritual vein," Jin Tiehe quickly said.
Yuan Mo looked at Mo Wuji and asked, "What treasure does Fellow Immortal Mo plan to offer?"
Mo Wuji asked, "Is Azure Crystal okay?"
In his feeling, the primordial qi of Azure Crystal was denser and of a higher level than immortal spiritual veins, but immortal spiritual veins had a wider range of uses for immortals than Azure Crystal.
Hu Chun'chun paused and said, "Brother Mo, it's best if you use immortal spiritual veins. Brother Crimson-Eye is relatively easy to talk to, and we can't be stingy with him. Who knows if we'll need to borrow the path from Brother Crimson-Eye's territory to the Starry Sky Oblique Sea in the future?"
Mo Wuji became even more puzzled, "Isn't Azure Crystal better than immortal spiritual veins?"
Jin Tiehe laughed and said, "That's just what people from your Outer Heaven Universe think. On the Starry Sky Oblique Sea Island, no one thinks Azure Crystal is better than immortal spiritual veins. Azure Crystal allows for faster cultivation, and the primordial qi level is even higher than immortal essence. But don't forget, Azure Crystal is just the corner fragments of other crystals, not complete crystals at all.
These things lack the Dao rhyme of heaven and earth, and lack the ability to comprehend the Dao rhyme. The only benefit of using Azure Crystal for cultivation is the speed. The disadvantages are too numerous. Cultivators who frequently use Azure Crystal for advancement are easily stuck at a certain realm and can no longer advance. Secondly, frequent use of Azure Crystal for cultivation reduces the comprehension of Dao techniques and supernatural powers, which is not conducive to future development."
Hu Chun'chun added, "Azure Crystal fragments contain higher-level fragments of the rules of heaven and earth. We haven't reached that level. Using Azure Crystal to absorb them only allows us to absorb the primordial qi. Cultivation has reached our level, and everyone knows that cultivation requires not only primordial qi but also the comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth."
Mo Wuji's mouth twitched with bitterness. He regarded the more than ten million Azure Crystals on his body as treasures, and the only three top-grade immortal spiritual veins were placed in his Immortal World. The experts of the God Race obviously didn't value immortal spiritual veins, so he only got three top-grade immortal spiritual veins from the five God Race rings he obtained. It was estimated that the middle and high-grade immortal spiritual veins were used by the God Race to set up spirit gathering arrays.
He wondered if his inability to enter the Immortal Emperor realm, and his inability to sense the Immortal Emperor level, was related to his use of Azure Crystal for cultivation.
"Then, can I use an Emperor True Pill?" Mo Wuji didn't want to take out his top-grade immortal spiritual veins. He planned to use the top-grade immortal spiritual veins for closed-door cultivation when he went back, and no longer use Azure Crystal.
"You have an Emperor True Pill?" Hu Chun'chun exclaimed in surprise. Without waiting for Mo Wuji to answer, she took the initiative to say, "Of course, an Emperor True Pill is fine. This thing is very valuable on the Oblique Sea Island."
Mo Wuji took out a jade bottle and handed it to Hu Chun'chun, "I don't need this thing now, so I'll give it to you."
Hu Chun'chun didn't care. In her opinion, Mo Wuji had definitely entered the Immortal Emperor realm long ago. A powerful Immortal Emperor naturally didn't need an Emperor True Pill. What she admired was that Mo Wuji was willing to take out the Emperor True Pill, knowing that the Emperor True Pill was a very valuable thing on the Oblique Sea Island.
(That's all for today's update, good night friends!)
