Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 1236: Mortal Universe
"Immortal Mortal Universe, complete!" Mo Wuji stood at the edge of the Immortal Mortal Realm and pointed, making the layers of the entire realm even clearer.
It was as if a universe was gradually forming, with realms, void spaces, starry skies, and planets...
Everything became subtle, everything became simple.
Mo Wuji suddenly raised his hand, and with a casual handprint, he lifted a man from the distant Golden Ladder. Then, with a flick of his hand, the man was thrown into the collapsing void.
Everyone bowed to Mo Wuji in awe. A few knew that it was because the man had pushed his Dao companion into the void that Mo Wuji had swept him into the collapsing universe.
Even Lian Yingxian, Qingyi Saintess, Huan Ti, and other Saints looked at Mo Wuji in shock. Yuan Zhenyi excitedly shouted, "Wuji, have you transcended the Saint realm?"
Clearly, Mo Wuji had surpassed the Saint realm. Such a feat was beyond even the capabilities of a Saint.
Mo Wuji smiled slightly, "That's right, I finally understand what lies beyond the Saint realm."
With that, he extended his hand again.
Even the collapse of the universe and the endless tribulations could not affect Mo Wuji's hand. In a brief moment, Mo Wuji's hand had seized Luo.
"Daoist Mo, you are already beyond the Saint realm. This humble one is willing to..." Luo's words were cut short as Mo Wuji's hand crushed him into dust.
This was the true power beyond the Saint realm! However, after Luo was killed, Mo Wuji did not find Luo's Dao principles. At this moment, Mo Wuji was focused on perfecting the universe and didn't pay it any attention. He didn't care about the Dao principles of the universe.
Immediately, Mo Wuji spread out his hand, and a ripple of hundreds of millions of feet wide appeared in the collapsing void. This ripple was unaffected by the collapse of the universe and extended outward.
More cultivators who had not been destroyed rushed onto this massive ripple. The natural luck gathering around the Immortal Mortal Realm and Mo Wuji became even more concentrated.
"Wuji, I always feel that something is missing from this Immortal Mortal Realm..." Lian Yingxian had been standing by Mo Wuji's side.
She had watched Mo Wuji's entire process of transcending the Saint realm and was acutely aware of the changes in the Immortal Mortal Realm. She felt that the realm was not perfect, but she couldn't pinpoint what was missing.
Mo Wuji nodded, "I know."
This Immortal Mortal Realm lacked a kind of vitality, the vitality of all things.
He suddenly reached out, and a fiery red bead was grabbed from the crowd and unhesitatingly sent beneath the roots of the Darkwood tree.
At his level, everything was clear to him, and nothing could be hidden. As for whose bead it was, Mo Wuji didn't care. Perhaps he was forcefully taking it back, but Mo Wuji believed anyone would agree to exchange the bead for their life.
This was a Fire Source Bead. As soon as it was placed beneath the Darkwood, the tree immediately transformed. It was no longer just the Darkwood tree, but a giant tree of life containing all the rules of the universe.
The vitality of all things emanated from this giant tree, permeating every corner of the Immortal Mortal Realm.
All the cultivators who entered the Immortal Mortal Realm could clearly feel it, and the layers of the realm became even clearer. Even Saints like Lian Yingxian felt that the Immortal Mortal Realm was truly perfect now.
However, Mo Wuji knew what the Immortal Mortal Realm still lacked, because he couldn't sense the origin of spiritual roots within the realm. The birth of spiritual roots was restricted.
In other words, apart from the cultivators who already possessed spiritual roots, future cultivators entering the Immortal Mortal Realm would have no spiritual roots at all and would all be true mortals.
"Grandpa!" Shuaiguo and Dahuang's voices rang out simultaneously. They rushed towards Mo Wuji from the main group of the Immortal Mortal Sect. In the main group, Mo Wuji saw Mo Qingche, Yan Li, Zhuo Pingan, Ji Li, and other familiar faces. He felt a slight relief in his heart.
"Grandpa, you left and never came back. Dahuang and I think of you every day," Shuaiguo said, grinning as he landed beside Mo Wuji.
If those words came from Dahuang, Mo Wuji might believe them. But he didn't believe Shuaiguo at all.
"Grandpa!" Dahuang was equally excited. His life had been created by Mo Wuji. Although he had a high status in the Immortal Mortal Sect and was not disturbed in his cultivation, he preferred to follow Mo Wuji and venture out.
"Huh!" Mo Wuji looked in surprise at the void of the Immortal Mortal Realm. He felt that something had been added to the realm, and it was no longer a place where spiritual roots were restricted.
He looked at Dahuang beside him and patted his head, muttering to himself, "I understand."
Dahuang possessed one hundred and eight meridians, and he also possessed one hundred and eight spiritual meridians. Dahuang represented the ultimate form of spiritual roots. Dahuang's arrival gave the Immortal Mortal Universe a path to follow for spiritual meridians.
The layers of the Immortal Mortal Realm were finally completely formed. Like a sieve, the Immortal Mortal Realm gradually divided into several void layers.
In other words, within the Immortal Mortal Realm, there were mortals, the cultivation world, the immortal world, the god world...
Then, he was pleasantly surprised to see that the other half he had split apart had transformed into a completely new realm, located at the very top of the Immortal Mortal Realm.
At this moment, Mo Wuji understood what "reclining high on the ninefold clouds, on a prayer mat understanding the Dao" meant. Hongjun was clearly connected to the creation of his universe, which was why he could recline high on the ninefold clouds.
Han Qingru, Qu You, and Cen Shuyin were looking at the changing realm in shock. Mo Wuji's voice immediately reached their ears, "My world is changing, but I still feel that it is not complete. You need to wait for me a moment."
Mo Wuji indeed felt that the world was still incomplete. Dahuang's arrival had added an origin of spiritual roots, but he still felt that something was missing.
This was definitely related to the Dao he cultivated. His Dao came from his true heart. It was suitable for him, but not necessarily for the entire universe.
Good people were good people, and bad people were bad people. This was not suitable for the universe.
"Young Master!" Seeing Mo Wuji frowning and seemingly losing his vitality, Yan'er called out anxiously.
Lian Yingxian knew that Mo Wuji was definitely thinking about the Immortal Mortal Universe, and she quickly pulled Yan'er, signaling her not to disturb Mo Wuji.
"I understand." After an unknown amount of time, Mo Wuji suddenly opened his eyes and said loudly to the collapsing universe, "The Immortal Mortal Universe still lacks the demonic path. Those who cultivate the demonic path, please help me perfect the Immortal Mortal Universe."
Mo Wuji came from Earth and was most opposed to the demonic path. His Dao integrated various rules, but it could not have demons. Now that the Immortal Mortal Realm was formed, he knew that his dislike did not mean that it did not exist.
Hearing Mo Wuji's words, countless demonic cultivators rushed towards Mo Wuji. In fact, they also felt that this universe was somewhat incompatible with their Dao. Being here always felt extremely awkward.
Soon, Mo Wuji frowned again. Many of these people who cultivated the demonic path had overwhelming demonic aura and carried a great deal of戾qi [liqi - evil aura/malevolence]. What would happen if this Dao was integrated into the Immortal Mortal Universe?
"Brother Wuji, have you forgotten about me, Hou Yucheng? How can such a thing be without me?" A familiar, hearty laughter came, followed by a figure stepping up the golden stairs and landing in front of Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji looked in surprise at the handsome Hou Yucheng. He looked like an unparalleled beauty, graceful and without any flaw.
"Brother Hou, are you a quasi-sage already?" Mo Wuji's realm allowed him to clearly sense Hou Yucheng's cultivation. Not only was he a quasi-sage, but his Dao was extremely pure and clean.
He also knew why Hou Yucheng had come, because Hou Yucheng cultivated the demonic path. Compared to those demonic cultivators with astonishing demonic aura, Hou Yucheng cultivated the true demonic path.
"Brother Mo, every time I think my cultivation should have surpassed yours, I always get the biggest blow," Hou Yucheng said with a smile.
"This time you can help me. At least, I can't add a demonic rule to this Immortal Mortal World, so I want to borrow your..."
Mo Wuji's words were interrupted by Hou Yucheng, who said with a smile, "This time, I'll take the lead. I naturally understand my Dao. I would like to ask Brother Wuji to lend me a universe rule."
"What's so difficult about that?" Mo Wuji raised his hand and drew back a universe Dao principle, handing it to Hou Yucheng. This thing that countless Saints fought for was like ordinary grass in his eyes.
Hou Yucheng solemnly nodded to Mo Wuji and grabbed the Dao principle, slapping it into his forehead, "Brother Wuji, lend me a hand."
Mo Wuji knew that without his help, Hou Yucheng would not be able to integrate this universe Dao principle at all. He unhesitatingly unleashed several Immortal Mortal Dao principles. With the help of these Dao principles, Hou Yucheng integrated the universe Dao principle at an extremely fast pace. His Dao aura increased wildly, and he entered the Saint realm in a short time.
"Wuji, I'll take the first step. We'll meet again in the next reincarnation! Please take care of my wife for me." After Hou Yucheng finished speaking, he didn't wait for Mo Wuji to say anything. His body directly disintegrated, turning into a pure and clean demonic rule that disappeared into the Immortal Mortal Realm.
The Immortal Mortal Realm suddenly changed, becoming completely stable.
Mo Wuji stared blankly at the disappearing Hou Yucheng. After a long time, he bowed in respect. He didn't want Hou Yucheng to embody the Dao and transform into a demonic Dao principle, but Hou Yucheng actually transformed into a demonic Dao principle and was forever integrated into the Immortal Mortal Realm universe.
He thought about how he had hesitated for a long time whether to take out the Immortal Mortal Realm, and he felt ashamed.
Mo Wuji bowed, and countless people bowed in the direction where Hou Yucheng disappeared.
Mo Wuji sighed and looked at the countless people, asking loudly, "Who is Brother Hou's Dao companion? Please accept a bow from Mo Wuji."
"Brother Mo, it is Yucheng's wish to transform into a demonic Dao principle and integrate into a realm." A soft and clear voice came.
"It's you, Suxi?" Mo Wuji looked blankly at the beautiful girl standing in front of him. He didn't expect Suxi to become Hou Yucheng's Dao companion.
"Brother Mo, I'm leaving too." Suxi bowed and walked towards the direction where Hou Yucheng had transformed into a demonic Dao principle, soon disappearing into the distance.
