"My lord, Qingyuan, Tailuan, and Yuanjie are too strong. I couldn't stop them, but I did manage to hold this one." Seeing Mo Wuji approaching, Tianhen quickly stepped forward to report.

Tianhen was a Saint, and his strength had clearly recovered. The fact that Tianhen, a Saint, addressed Mo Wuji as "My lord" sent shivers down Gu Pingren's spine, who had come with Mo Wuji. Even a Saint acknowledged Mo Wuji as his master; Mo Wuji's achievements were truly terrifying.

Mo Wuji was not concerned that Tianhen couldn't stop Tailuan and the others. His gaze landed on the somewhat emaciated Confucian scholar. The cosmic dao law from this Saint Dao Assembly had been auctioned off to this very man. He had been stopped by Tianhen, indicating that his cultivation was inferior to Tianhen's.

Noticing Mo Wuji's gaze, the Confucian scholar quickly cupped his fists and bowed respectfully, "Junior greets Senior Mo."

He didn't mention the cosmic dao law. That particular dao law was the most precious thing he owned, acquired through an exchange of items. He wouldn't part with it so easily, even if it meant his life.

Mo Wuji smiled and said, "You may leave. Tianhen made a mistake. My visit this time has nothing to do with you or the Saint Dao Assembly."

The emaciated scholar was momentarily stunned. It had nothing to do with him? Did the other party not intend to take the cosmic dao law from him? He would never believe that Mo Wuji was unaware that he possessed it.

"You don't want the cosmic dao law?" The scholar, still surprised and uncertain, inquired.

Mo Wuji clearly understood the man's thoughts, and he laughed heartily, "I, Mo Wuji, am not so base and hypocritical as to let you leave only to secretly pursue and kill you later. If I wanted to take action against you, I could do it now. There's no need to go through such unnecessary lengths."

The emaciated scholar was now certain that Mo Wuji wouldn't attack him. He then recalled Mo Wuji's past actions.

Seizing the Gluttonous Pot was justified because it originally belonged to him and was seized by the Saint Dao Assembly first. Aside from reclaiming the Gluttonous Pot, he had always followed the rules during auctions.

Intercepting Qiang Mu was also to exchange items for the River Luo Book, not to rob him. The Cycle of Life and Death dao law was offered by him, and he knew its value was even higher than the River Luo Book.

It seemed that the other party truly had no intention of robbing him. The emaciated scholar bowed deeply, "Senior is forthright and honorable; I am ashamed. I shall take my leave now."

With that, he spread his form and broke free from Tianhen's domain.

However, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stopped and cupped his fists towards Mo Wuji again, "Senior Mo, I have a jade slip here that might be useful to you."

He left behind a jade slip, and with a flash of遁光 (dùn guāng, escaping light), he vanished into the vast universe.

Mo Wuji wasn't concerned. Cosmic dao laws were precious, but he possessed three. Having fused one with the Mortal Halberd, he still had two cosmic dao laws remaining.

While others regarded it as a treasure, he didn't value the cosmic dao law as much as they did.

"Friend Gu, back in the third level of the fragmented void outside the Immortal Realm, I saw friend Yongxiao turned into a stone statue. I helped him once. Many years later, he was being hunted by the Soul Hunter King under the command of the Underworld Saint. My friend and I killed the Soul Hunter King, and he even gifted me two pages of the River Luo Book. After that, I haven't seen him…" As Mo Wuji spoke, he grabbed the emaciated scholar's jade slip.

His voice suddenly stopped, and his expression turned grim. He took a step and disappeared, without even saying goodbye.

Just as Tianhen and the others were wondering where Mo Wuji had gone, Mo Wuji returned. He handed the jade slip to Tianhen and said, "Tianhen, this is where I need to go. When I stepped out just now, I felt that this place is definitely not a good place. Go to the Mortal Sect in the God Realm and tell Tongming, Huanti, and the others where I'm going. Then, you guys come and help me…"

Before he could finish, Mo Wuji took out a talisman and gave it to Tianhen, "This is a Realm Breaking Talisman. Have Huanti go to the Immortal Realm and collect the Gods Tower."

After Tianhen accepted the items, Mo Wuji遁走 (dùn zǒu, escaped) again, still without waiting for a word from Tianhen.

The jade slip the Confucian scholar gave him contained the location of the last page of the River Luo Book, and that page was wrapped around a woman for protection. Even though the Confucian scholar didn't depict Shuyin's appearance, Mo Wuji knew it must be Shuyin.

He didn't understand why Shuyin would be swept away by the 天壑 (tiān hè, Heavenly Gorge) turbulent flow formed in the void, but he knew that even quasi-Saints at the peak of their cultivation wouldn't dare to enter such turbulent flows lightly.

At the same time, he had a premonition that the place Shuyin entered was extremely dangerous for him, like a wide-open mouth waiting for him, or intentionally waiting for him to throw himself in.

However, no matter how dangerous it was, Mo Wuji wouldn't give up.

It was also because he sensed the danger that he returned to tell Tianhen to find Huanti. As long as Huanti fused with the Gods Tower, plus Tongming, it would be like having three Saints to assist him, which would give him an extra chance of survival.

…

In the Saint Hall of the Boundless Domain, Saint Luoxu, Saint Qingyuan, Saint Tailuan, and Saint Tifo sat high on the main seats. On the left side, there were more than ten people, including Desert Dao Lord and Darkness Dao Lord from the Four Dao Lords, Meng Ye from the Three Wanderers, God Emperor Hengzuo, God Emperor Mingyue, Gluttony, and Guigu from the Twelve God Emperors.

In addition, in the middle hall outside the main hall, there were nearly a hundred 正神 (zhèng shén, official gods) or 偏神 (piān shén, auxiliary gods) who possessed divine positions.

The atmosphere in the hall was very solemn. Saint Luoxu scanned the crowd and said, "Is there anyone who hasn't arrived here after restoring their divine position and strength?"

A man like a round ball rolled out and said respectfully, "Four Saints, Saint Aunt Pond shattered, and Saint Aunt disappeared. Yellow River Dao Lord, one of the Four Dao Lords, left with Mo Wuji that day and even openly opposed Golden Pond Dao Lord. Zheng Shen Kunyun, Jieheng, and others are very close to Mo Wuji and should have joined forces…"

The round man spoke fluently, and in less than an incense stick's time, he clearly stated the whereabouts of all the strongmen who possessed Zheng Shen divine positions.

The faces of the four Saints were very ugly, especially Saint Tailuan's. Not long ago, he had a big argument with the four of Luoxu because Luoxu and the others didn't believe him and were deceived by Mo Wuji. Otherwise, Mo Wuji would never have had the opportunity to become a Saint and would have been killed by the four of them.

Tifo stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoists, now that cracks have appeared in the Plane of Existence, we can go to the God Realm. Why doesn't Brother Luoxu go and strip away the luck of the God Realm first, and then…"

Luoxu waved his hand and said, "The God Realm is secondary now. It's meaningless to go there without killing Mo Wuji."

Then, he scanned the crowd and tried to slow down his tone as much as possible, "Mo Wuji is very likely to have attained the first great Dao of the universe. When he was a quasi-Saint, he could escape from the siege of five Saints. Now that he has attained the Dao of the Saint, although we have many people, if we don't plan properly, I'm afraid he will still escape."

Tailuan and Qingyuan naturally knew that this was Luoxu trying to flatter himself. Let Mo Wuji escape? Hehe, maybe they would be the ones to escape.

However, Tailuan was very clear that if everyone didn't join forces this time, there would be no more divine position Saints like them in the universe. He interjected, "At the Saint Dao Assembly, Qingyuan and I didn't use our full strength, but I can be sure that even if we used our full strength, if someone's heart is not aligned, it's really possible for that Mo to escape. I hope everyone here can swear that they will do their best and never…"

"Saint Tailuan." A sudden voice interrupted Tailuan. Standing up was a fair-skinned bald man.

He was at least a Saint. To be interrupted by a God Emperor while speaking infuriated Tailuan. He smiled and said, "So it's God Emperor Hengzuo. I wonder what God Emperor Hengzuo has to say?"

Hengzuo cupped his fists and said, "I have a major event to attend to, so I can't join you in doing this for the time being. Please forgive me, Saints."

"Hahahaha…" Tailuan laughed loudly. In his eyes, Hengzuo was already a dead man. After laughing, he scanned the crowd, "Is there anyone else who has important matters?"

Darkness Dao Lord Kuxinren gritted his teeth and stood up and said, "Saints, my injuries haven't healed yet, and I want to heal for a while."

"Very good, then go die." Tailuan snorted coldly and directly grabbed at Hengzuo.

Hengzuo seemed to have known that Tailuan would attack, and he threw out a white root. After the white root was sacrificed, the Dao rhyme rules in the entire hall were immediately divided into two blocks.

"Boom!" Endless white light collided with Tailuan's handprint, and Tailuan's handprint directly collapsed.

Hengzuo's root turned into a piece of white dao law, protecting Hengzuo in the middle.

"Root of the Measuring Heaven Tree?" Tailuan took a breath of cold air. Hengzuo not only obtained the Root of the Measuring Heaven Tree, but also attained the Dao of the Saint. No wonder he was not afraid of their four Saints at all.

"Puff!" Almost at the moment when Tailuan and Hengzuo started fighting, Darkness Dao Lord Kuxinren turned into a pool of blood mist.

Luoxu retracted his hand. He was the one who killed Kuxinren just now.

"Farewell." Hengzuo's face didn't change at all, and he turned to leave.

If it were someone else, he would never offend the Four Saints. He was too aware of Mo Wuji's power. He had previously suspected that Mo Wuji had not attained the Dao of the Saint, but now that Mo Wuji had stepped into the realm of the Saint, he didn't want to provoke Mo Wuji even more. Strictly speaking, his Root of the Measuring Heaven Tree was given to him by Mo Wuji. If Mo Wuji wanted to grab his Root of the Measuring Heaven Tree back then, he would not have had the chance at all.

If he, Hengzuo, were to say who he was most afraid of in this universe, it would undoubtedly be Mo Wuji.

Luoxu and the others stared at Hengzuo with gloomy faces, not attacking, or knowing that even if they attacked, they wouldn't be able to keep Hengzuo, who possessed the Root of the Measuring Heaven Tree.

"Hehe, want to leave? Get back here." Just as Hengzuo walked to the door, a huge handprint slapped over.
