Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 1148: Opportunity
He cultivated the Mortal Technique (凡人诀), and his own Mortal World (凡人界) took shape when he was only a Celestial Immortal (天仙). Now, his Mortal World has complete rules, and they are rapidly improving every moment.
However, this stone statue didn't cultivate the Mortal World, yet it can still fight here. It seems its origins are not simple, and it has some tricks.
"It seems you have quite the background, being able to fight in a space with no rules and no attributes," Mo Wuji naturally wouldn't answer the stone statue's question.
"I will leave here, and the condition is that I give you my Divine Seat. As for my world, it is now empty, with nothing of value," the stone statue understood its situation in an instant and said very straightforwardly.
Mo Wuji said casually, "Is your Divine Seat so great? Too bad, I don't care about it at all."
If this stone statue were a Saint, Mo Wuji might consider taking his Divine Seat to take a look. However, Mo Wuji was certain that the stone statue's Divine Seat couldn't be that of a Saint.
He had seen three of the Eight Great Saints. Plus, there was Saint Tong Ming (通冥), who was assassinated. He had seen too many Saints. No matter how he looked at it, this stone statue couldn't be a Saint.
The stone statue said proudly, "That's because you don't know what my Divine Seat is. My original name is Huang Fan Hong (荒樊洪), and my Divine Seat is the Yellow River Dao Lord (黄河道君), one of the Four Great Dao Lords."
"The Four Great Dao Lords?" Mo Wuji repeated in surprise. It seemed he had some affinity with the Four Great Dao Lords. Including this Huang Fan Hong, he had met three Dao Lords. He had traded with the Dark Dao Lord, fought with the Desert Dao Lord, and now he met the Yellow River Dao Lord. He wondered what the name of the one he hadn't seen was.
"You haven't heard of the Four Great Dao Lords?" Seeing Mo Wuji's calm expression, Huang Fan Hong asked in surprise. Logically, Mo Wuji was so powerful that he should have heard of the Four Great Dao Lords.
Mo Wuji smiled. "No, I have heard of the Four Great Dao Lords. I also know the Dark Dao Lord and the Desert Dao Lord, but your Divine Seat really doesn't appeal to me."
The arrogance in Huang Fan Hong's eyes immediately disappeared. He sighed inwardly. In fact, he should have been able to imagine that someone like this young man, who could calmly subdue him in this place, was probably aiming for the position of a Saint, right? The coming apocalypse was probably his stage.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be condensing your physical body here, right? After all these years, you've probably almost finished condensing your physical body?" Mo Wuji suddenly asked.
Huang Fan Hong replied, "Yes, in fact, I was planning to seal this place and then look for some suitable magical treasures to prepare for the coming apocalypse. The time between the two apocalypses is so short, it is probably the only time in the universe."
He didn't say the rest, but Mo Wuji understood. That was that Huang Fan Hong hadn't had time to leave yet when Mo Wuji arrived.
In Huang Fan Hong's opinion, if he didn't have something to tempt Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji would definitely not let him go. If they were outside, he would have been qualified to fight Mo Wuji, but here, he had no hope at all. Therefore, he didn't even bother to beg for mercy. A Dao Lord had the dignity of a Dao Lord and wouldn't do such meaningless things.
"Since you're already planning to leave, then leave. I'm going to cultivate in seclusion here for a while. I hope you don't disturb me," Mo Wuji nodded and said.
"You're not going to kill me?" Huang Fan Hong looked at Mo Wuji in astonishment. This was the first time he had heard such an absurd outcome.
Mo Wuji chuckled. "Why would I kill you? You didn't steal my things. You cultivated here, and now I can cultivate here. Isn't that okay? Or do I have to kill you to cultivate here?"
A huge surprise surged up, and Huang Fan Hong quickly said, "No, no, I'll leave now. This place is yours. I swear I will never tell a third person about this place."
Mo Wuji didn't care whether Huang Fan Hong told a third person. He shouldn't be cultivating here for long. With the presence of the Time Plate (岁月盘), this pool of golden liquid shouldn't last long, right?
Huang Fan Hong stood up, and the stone skin covering his body made a cracking sound, like a peeled eggshell, and all fell scattered on the ground.
With the stone skin removed, Mo Wuji could clearly see the spiritual veins and golden blood flowing throughout Huang Fan Hong's body.
Even Mo Wuji was secretly amazed. Huang Fan Hong's physical body was destroyed, but he was able to find this place and re-condense his physical body. It could be considered a stroke of luck.
"May I ask for the honorable name of this fellow Daoist? I will definitely repay you in the future," Huang Fan Hong cupped his fist at Mo Wuji again after grabbing a piece of clothing and putting it on.
"Mo Wuji." Mo Wuji didn't think there was anything to hide.
"Thank you, and I wish Daoist Mo further progress," Huang Fan Hong said before throwing out a few array flags, and his entire body disappeared into the black boulder.
As soon as Huang Fan Hong left, Mo Wuji began to set up a protective array. He set up a top-grade Divine Protection Array around the area, then grabbed the Time Plate and threw it into the golden pool of liquid. He also planted forty-nine Heaven Opening Divine Spiritual Veins on the edge of the pool, before landing on the Time Plate.
He had come here to improve his strength, and Mo Wuji wouldn't waste a moment.
As soon as he landed on the Time Plate, one hundred and eight meridians formed a grand circulation in an instant. As soon as the Mortal Technique completed a grand circulation, Mo Wuji was pleasantly surprised to find that the Heavenly Mud Essence Divine Spiritual Vein (天玑泥元神灵络) in his Great Consciousness Sea also began to circulate, cultivating in his sea of consciousness.
The golden pool of liquid spun frantically, and wisps of faint golden mist were swept away by Mo Wuji. The faint golden mist merged with the milky white divine spiritual energy of the Heaven Opening Divine Spiritual Veins and frantically and rapidly merged into Mo Wuji's meridians, covering the entire golden pool.
Mo Wuji's cultivation base increased sharply. Even Mo Wuji himself found the speed terrifying. What excited Mo Wuji even more was that his Heavenly Mud Essence God (天玑泥元神) was rapidly merging with his sea of consciousness due to absorbing a large amount of pool liquid and Heaven Opening Divine Spiritual Veins. The aura of Heavenly Mud Essence quickly disappeared.
From God Transformation Stage Second Level (合神二层) to God Transformation Stage Third Level (合神三层), it was almost an instant. Even from God Transformation Stage Third Level to God Transformation Stage Fourth Level (合神四层), Mo Wuji didn't spend much time.
Time passed with Mo Wuji's seclusion. If Mo Wuji could open his eyes, he would find that the golden pool of liquid didn't dry up after cultivating for a while as he had expected. Instead, it continuously seeped out and then dissolved into Mo Wuji's cosmic vortex.
……
In the vast void, Lei Hongji (雷虹吉) was exhausted and emaciated, but he still couldn't shake off Saint Tianhen (天痕圣人) behind him.
If he could, Lei Hongji really wanted to stop and reason with Tianhen, which was, "I didn't even touch your Heaven and Earth Furnace (天地炉). What's the point of you chasing me?"
However, Lei Hongji wasn't stupid. He knew very well what would happen to him once he stopped. Tianhen would definitely not reason with him but would directly kill him and then search his soul for memories.
Although the void provided more space to escape, it also lacked various means of concealment.
Over the years, Lei Hongji had been searching for the mark on his body while escaping, but unfortunately, he hadn't found it. Although his talent and cultivation speed were stronger than Mo Wuji, he couldn't have the World Lattice (世界络) like Mo Wuji, making his own world very complete at the God Transformation Stage.
On this day, Lei Hongji swallowed several divine spiritual grasses to restore his energy and spirit, wondering if he should find a void crack to enter.
Entering a void crack was a narrow escape from death, but it was better than having an extremely powerful guy constantly chasing him from behind, right?
Before this idea could fully form in Lei Hongji's mind, a vast and boundless planet appeared in his divine thoughts.
This was actually a green planet? Without thinking, Lei Hongji rushed in.
As soon as he landed on this planet, Lei Hongji was ecstatic to find that his divine thoughts couldn't be released at all within this planet.
This was a planet with completely new rules. There were many rules of heaven and earth here that he had never encountered before.
The inability to release divine thoughts meant that Tianhen behind him would not be able to find him in a short period of time.
Lei Hongji almost used his spatial teleportation skills to the extreme. In just half a day, he completely lost the sense of crisis of being chased by Tianhen.
Lei Hongji stopped, trembling with excitement. Several divine spiritual veins were exposed on the surface, and moreover, he could sense divine crystal mines wherever his eyes reached.
High-grade divine spiritual grasses were everywhere, and there were also some rare treasures that were difficult to see even at auctions.
He had struck it rich. He had really struck it rich this time.
Lei Hongji muttered to himself. After cultivating to this day, it was the first time he had encountered such a big surprise and opportunity.
