Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 1193 Second Encounter with the Golden Ladder
It was Mo Wuji's first time truly tearing through the void. After being with Han Qingru, he had gained an even clearer understanding of the rules of the mortal world. This allowed him to easily tear open the void while only being at the Quasi-Sage Level 5.
"Wuji, where are we going?" Han Qingru asked, looking at the chaotic void around them.
She wasn't worried, not because her immortal essence and spiritual will had recovered, but because she was with Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji squeezed Han Qingru's hand and smiled, "My spiritual will can now penetrate through some realms. We'll return to the Immortal World, then I'll take care of some things there, before we go somewhere else."
Mo Wuji's plan was to return to the Immortal World first and take away the God Domain Nest. The God Domain Nest was still a Treasure of Creation, and it belonged to Huan Tí. Now that Huan Tí was his little brother, he would take the God Domain Nest and eventually return it to Huan Tí.
After finishing things in the Immortal World, he wanted to go to the Dark World. He had the Breath Soil and fragments of Dark Wood on him, so going to the Dark World was naturally to allow his Dark Wood to thrive.
The Apocalypse was approaching, and those few Sages were already giving Mo Wuji a headache. Not to mention, he now knew about a guy named Luo. This guy possessed the Ninth Cosmos's Laws and controlled the Creation Sword. Once this guy fully matured, he would be an invincible existence.
He still needed to carefully search for the Immortal World's location using his spiritual will.
"Wuji, did you know that I would commit suicide?" Han Qingru suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question.
Mo Wuji was stunned and asked, puzzled, "What?"
Han Qingru shook her head and smiled faintly, "It's nothing, take me to the Immortal World."
She now fully understood. Back in Sword Prison, she had even said things like wanting him to kiss her, but Mo Wuji still hadn't made any move on her.
Now that Mo Wuji's cultivation was many times higher than it was then, would he be unable to restrain his inner impulses and do those marital things with her in that small underground chamber?
Clearly, Mo Wuji understood her, knowing that if he disagreed at that time, but said he could take her out, she would eventually commit suicide.
No matter how much she liked Mo Wuji, she was still a woman with self-respect. How could she still live with the shame of being rejected by the person she liked in such a situation?
Although she understood Mo Wuji's original intentions, Han Qingru didn't regret it. She could feel Mo Wuji's affection for her after they were together, and that was enough.
How lonely would a woman be if she couldn't find someone she loved in her life? She didn't have too many thoughts, as long as she could be with Mo Wuji.
From Yongying Corner to the Immortal World, then to the Broken World and finally to Tianwu City...
She had experienced too much along the way, and she was too tired of living. Sometimes she would ask herself, what was the point of diligently cultivating, and striving to improve her cultivation and lifespan? Was it just to have more time to endure loneliness and isolation?
She wasn't an ambitious woman, she just wanted to live quietly, peacefully, and happily, with hope and joy.
"Eh!" Mo Wuji's surprised exclamation interrupted Han Qingru's thoughts, and she quickly asked, "Did you see something?"
"I seem to have seen a familiar person." After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he directly summoned the River of Time, bringing Han Qingru onto it.
The River of Time brought up a spatial fluctuation and disappeared into the distance in an instant.
"Who did you see?" Han Qingru asked, puzzled.
"I'm not sure if I saw it wrong, it was just a gray shadow that flashed past the edge of my spiritual will." The reason Mo Wuji wasn't sure was because that gray shadow made him feel like it was Bitter Vegetable.
After separating from Bitter Vegetable in the newly hatched God Domain Nest, he had never found Bitter Vegetable again, nor had he heard any news about Bitter Vegetable.
Logically speaking, with such a big name in the God World, Bitter Vegetable would have come to him after hearing his news. But in fact, Bitter Vegetable had never looked for him.
"Qingru, your cultivation is still too low, why don't you stay in my Mortal World to cultivate?" Mo Wuji originally wanted to let Han Qingru cultivate in the River of Time, but he needed to use the River of Time from time to time, so it would be inconvenient for Han Qingru to cultivate there.
"Okay, you send me to your world." Although Han Qingru really wanted to continue being with Mo Wuji, she also knew that Mo Wuji's cultivation was now far ahead of her. If she didn't work hard to improve herself, she would probably fall far behind.
Being sent into the Mortal World by Mo Wuji, Han Qingru truly took a deep breath of cold air. Endless God Spiritual Veins piled up, and the extremely dense clarity of the laws and Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, told Han Qingru that cultivating to the Immortal Emperor Realm here was as simple as breathing.
There were more God Spiritual Herbs than God Spiritual Veins, stretching as far as the eye could see.
How rich was this? Her eyes became a little dazed, and she seemed to have returned to the Hundred Flowers Manor back then, to that young Pill Refiner sitting across from her...
And the scene of that young Pill Refiner hugging her and running away frantically in the flower bushes.
Thinking of that strong and powerful chest not long ago, Han Qingru once again felt her body go weak and powerless. She quickly cast a few spells on herself, rubbed her hot cheeks, and walked quickly to a God Spiritual Vein, calming her mind and picking up the ring and cultivation technique that Mo Wuji had given her.
...
Mo Wuji believed that there wouldn't be many treasures in the cosmos faster than the River of Time, perhaps even none.
However, he drove the River of Time along the direction where that figure disappeared for more than ten days, and he still couldn't find any trace of it. Whether he had seen Bitter Vegetable before or not, Mo Wuji didn't plan to continue chasing.
Stopping the River of Time, Mo Wuji stretched out his spiritual will, wanting to check the surrounding realms.
A faint golden light suddenly appeared in his spiritual will. Even though he was extremely far away from that golden light, Mo Wuji still felt a sense of familiarity.
Soon he saw clearly what that golden light was. When the God World's rules were repaired back then, there was such a golden light, or rather a golden ladder, extending from the void and landing directly on the Sea of Extinction in the God World.
Not only that, but Luo Xu Sage's voice also came down, requesting the God World's cultivators to build the God Domain Nest above the Sea of Extinction, and then welcome him, this Sage, down. The golden light that appeared at the edge of his spiritual will now had the same aura as that one back then.
Mo Wuji hardly hesitated, and he drove the River of Time, rushing towards that golden light.
In just a short time, Mo Wuji rushed to the edge of this golden ladder. The golden ladder's edge was filled with flowing Dao runes, and even with his current strength, he couldn't use his spiritual will to capture the Dao runes flowing within.
Back then, Mo Wuji didn't know what this golden ladder was made of, he even thought it was a kind of light. Now he had seen clearly that it was made of Dao laws. There was also a kind of mysterious power in these golden ladder's Dao laws that he couldn't even begin to fathom.
Mo Wuji put away the River of Time and raised his hand to grab the golden ladder. Before his hand could get close to the golden ladder, it was hit by a kind of vast and boundless power. A violent rebound of spiritual essence came back, and Mo Wuji spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, flying backwards.
So powerful. Mo Wuji stabilized his body in the void, looking at this golden ladder in shock.
He was at the Quasi-Sage Level 5, and with his guess, even if he faced a Sage, he shouldn't be so powerless to resist.
In front of this golden ladder, he was actually powerless to resist. He knew that this golden ladder should be related to Luo Xu Sage.
Could it be that Luo Xu Sage was powerful to this extent? Just relying on a golden ladder, he couldn't resist. If he faced Luo Xu Sage, would he really be confident of escaping?
At this moment, Mo Wuji no longer had his initial optimism. He didn't continue to grab the golden ladder, but instead grabbed the River of Time again, fleeing madly along this golden ladder.
No matter which realm this golden ladder led to, he would destroy it. Sooner or later, he would have a fight with Luo Xu, and he would not be polite in destroying Luo Xu's things.
With the River of Time's speed, Mo Wuji still flew for nearly a month before he saw a vast star land.
He had been to this place before. When Mo Wuji put away the River of Time and stepped into this star land, he was even more certain that he had been here before.
The dark laws here made Mo Wuji certain that this was the Dark World. He, Huan Tí, Tong Ming and others had come here before. It was just that they had come to that Dark Origin Palace back then, which was the Dark World's origin.
Mo Wuji originally planned to refine the God Domain Nest in the Immortal World, and then come to the Dark World to cultivate the Dark Wood. Now he hadn't gone to the Immortal World, nor had he gone to the Seven World Stone, but he had appeared outside the Dark World through another method.
Even if Mo Wuji didn't plan to come to the Dark World, now that Luo Xu Sage's golden ladder had appeared in the Dark World, he had to go and do some damage.
