He had left Mo Wuji in the Sword Prison initially because he was sure Mo Wuji couldn't escape. Who knew that due to a moment of carelessness, he actually allowed this ant-like creature to leave. Not only did this ant leave, but he also took the rest of the people in the Sword Prison with him.

Mo Wuji continued, "Back then, it was you in the sword qi vortex, right? And you were the one chasing me in the sword qi river, right?"

Back then, this guy was an existence he could only look up to. Now, in Mo Wuji's eyes, this guy was no different from an ant. Despite being in the middle stage of God Realm, his Dao was in disarray, and his combat power was definitely low.

Feeling Mo Wuji's calm and unrestrained demeanor, the thin, skeletal man frowned and even took a step back. He seemed unable to sense Mo Wuji's cultivation level. How was that possible? Even if Mo Wuji concealed his cultivation, he should have been able to see through it at a glance.

Mo Wuji didn't pay attention to the skeletal man's retreat, but asked with curiosity, "The heart in the Ping'an Vine Mountain back then shouldn't have been yours, right? And the sword at the bottom of the sword qi river wasn't yours either, right? What I'm wondering is, why have you been staying here all this time? Do you think this place can help you restore your strength?"

After asking the question, Mo Wuji, without waiting for the skeletal man to answer, suddenly realized, "I understand why you can't leave."

He really understood. This guy had recovered to the God Realm, but he didn't dare to go out at all. Once he left the Sword Prison, he would be crushed into dust by the rules of the Immortal World. Unless he reduced his cultivation to around Heavenly God, he would be doomed.

Not everyone could ignore the crushing force of the Immortal World's rules like he could.

From the beginning until now, Mo Wuji had assumed that this skeletal man was a powerful being who had been stranded here during a Great Calamity and was now restoring his strength. After all, he had seen many people like that.

"Your body refining technique is quite good." As the thin, skeletal man spoke, his domain swept out. With his current strength, even if Mo Wuji was strong, he wouldn't be able to escape his domain, right?

"Crack, crack!" Before the skeletal man's domain could touch Mo Wuji's domain, it shattered into pieces.

The skeletal man was shocked. How was this possible? Rumor had it that this was the Immortal World. According to what he knew, how could anyone in the Immortal World shatter his domain?

Before the man could react, Mo Wuji's hand seal had already reached out and grabbed his neck.

"Your Dao is far from enough. Tell me, with your strength, how could you appear inside a secret realm in the Immortal World?" After lifting the skinny man by his neck, Mo Wuji asked casually.

"How is this possible..." the skinny man muttered to himself, completely forgetting his dire situation.

According to his memory and understanding, the Sword Prison was in the Immortal World, and the rules of the Immortal World would never allow higher-level cultivators to exist. As long as one's cultivation reached a certain level, they would be crushed into dust by the laws of the Immortal World upon leaving. If the Immortal World could be left, he would have left long ago. Why would he wait to take that sword before leaving?

Mo Wuji tightened his grip, and the skinny skeletal man felt a sense of death coming over him. Then he heard Mo Wuji's words, "Now I'm asking you, not you asking me."

"Yes, yes..." the skeletal man finally realized his situation and quickly said, "Back then, the Sword Qi Heaven..."

"Wait..." Mo Wuji stopped the skeletal man's words, "Who is the Sword Qi Heaven?"

The skeletal man quickly replied, "It's the sword spirit of the Creation Sword. The owner of the Creation Sword, when he realized that there was no way to improve his Great Dao, he transformed himself into Dao, transforming into the Sword Lord..."

"What a load of nonsense, I don't understand a word. First, tell me who you are," Mo Wuji scolded, his tone becoming a bit unkind.

The skeletal man became even more frightened and said, "Senior, this junior is a strand of sword qi from the Creation Sword that gained sentience, and some memories of the sword spirit remained..."

Mo Wuji finally understood this sentence. It turned out that this guy wasn't a powerful being who fell during the Great Calamity. He nodded and said, "Speak more clearly, otherwise I won't have that patience."

"Yes, yes." The man quickly responded and continued, "Senior's cultivation is heaven-defying, you should know that I am currently in the God Realm, right?"

"Not bad," Mo Wuji replied.

Hearing Mo Wuji's answer of God Realm, the man was finally a little relieved, otherwise he was afraid that Mo Wuji wouldn't understand his later words.

"The realm after God Realm is the Three Saints Realm. The first realm is the Quasi-Saint Realm, the second realm is the Saint Realm, and the third realm is the Creation Saint Realm," the man said cautiously.

Mo Wuji understood that even Saints were not supreme beings, there was still a Creation Saint. It seemed that the eight Saints in the universe thought they were the strongest, but they were just frogs at the bottom of a well.

"Since there is a Creation Saint above the Saints, then logically there should be many Saints. Why have I only heard of eight Saints in the universe?" Mo Wuji asked in a deep voice.

Hearing Mo Wuji ask this, the man already understood that Mo Wuji was definitely not from the Immortal World. He answered even more cautiously, "When Hongmeng split, the resources in the universe were unlimited, and the rules of heaven and earth were clear. Countless cultivators entered the ranks of top experts. But the universe lacked a kind of order. Without this cosmic order, cultivation could not stand out, so experts in this stage were called Quasi-Saints.

At this time, many Creation Treasures appeared, among which there was a sword called Creation Sword. This sword gathered the spirit of the universe, witnessed the evolution of the universe, and formed a unique sword spirit. At the same time, there was also a stunningly talented peerless powerhouse named Luo. He also witnessed the formation of the universe, but his Dao lacked a kind of killing power. At this time, he encountered the Creation Sword, but the Creation Sword simply didn't want to be refined by him. As a result, he transformed himself into Dao, merged with the sword spirit of the Creation Sword, and controlled this sword."

Mo Wuji was a little dumbfounded. He had seen someone merging with Dao, but it was the first time he had heard of someone merging with a sword spirit. Wouldn't that mean that this guy named Luo had become a new sword spirit? What was the meaning of this kind of Dao proof?

"After Luo merged with the Creation Sword Spirit, he found that he had many restrictions instead. Later, he split open the Universe Nest and obtained nine Cosmic Dao Rules from the Universe Nest. He wanted to use eight of these nine Cosmic Dao Rules to create eight powerhouses, and then use these eight powerhouses to rebuild the cosmic order for him. These eight powerhouses were identified by Luo as above Quasi-Saints, and were called Saints..."

Hearing the man say this, Mo Wuji's heart moved. Could this be the origin of the eight Saints?

The skeletal man continued, "This matter was quickly known to the powerhouses throughout the universe. They all wanted to be selected by Luo and called Saints. But before Luo could choose, eight powerhouses secretly attacked Luo and snatched the Cosmic Dao Rules..."

Mo Wuji was a little puzzled and asked, "Isn't the Sword Prison a result of the last Great Calamity?"

The skeletal man shook his head and said, "The Great Calamity was just Luo controlling the ninth Cosmic Dao Rule, and it was also controlled by Luo. Later, Luo was ambushed, and that ninth Dao Rule was still controlling the Great Calamity."

Mo Wuji had never thought that in the small Sword Prison of the Immortal World, there was actually such an ancient and terrifying existence. According to what this skeletal man meant, if he controlled that ninth Cosmic Dao Rule, wouldn't there be no more Great Calamity?

"I understand, is it that the current eight Saints each control a Cosmic Dao Rule? So they are Saints. And Luo controls the ninth Cosmic Dao Rule, so he is the only Creation Saint in the universe?" Mo Wuji asked.

The skeletal man shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but Luo is the existence who controls the ninth Cosmic Dao Rule. Although Luo was ambushed, that ninth Cosmic Dao Rule is still controlling the Great Calamity in the universe. The Ping'an Vine Mountain that was once in the Sword Prison was a fragment of Luo's heart."

"The sword in the sword qi river is the Creation Sword?" Mo Wuji asked. He had already made up his mind that when he returned to the God Realm, he would definitely ask Huan Ti and Tong Ming if every Saint had to obtain a Cosmic Dao Rule to become a Saint.

"Yes..."

As soon as the skeletal man said one word, Mo Wuji felt endless sword qi gather, and the violent killing intent soared to the extreme in an instant.

A breath of death rushed over, and without thinking, Mo Wuji immediately sacrificed the Luo Book to protect his body.

"Crack!" A sword qi swept across his waist. Even though Mo Wuji had sacrificed the Luo Book in time, he still felt a breath of death.

Then he saw in horror that a crack appeared in his Luo Book. Mo Wuji was shocked and didn't care about holding back anymore. He sacrificed several more Luo Books to surround his body.

This was the first time that his Luo Book had been damaged by sword qi.
