Mortal Mo Wuji dared to transform into a small blade of grass using the Fetal Transformation Divine Ability because he cultivated the Mortal Technique. He could even say that no one could master the Fetal Transformation Divine Ability as well as he could. Others might transform into a blade of grass and still have their aura of the laws detected, no matter how well they concealed themselves. Only his Mortal Technique allowed him to completely merge with his surroundings without any sense of abruptness.

As he shifted through the wind, the jade slip coordinates given to him by Kun Yun were completely imprinted in Mo Wuji's mind.

A clear route appeared in Mo Wuji's sea of consciousness. Without hesitation, Mo Wuji shifted along this route with the wind. He trusted that Kun Yun would not deceive him in this matter, as Kun Yun was definitely not on the same side as that so-called Great Sage. Otherwise, he would not have followed him in withdrawing from the Great Sage's golden path.

Mo Wuji guessed that Kun Yun would follow him here. He had no intention of waiting for Kun Yun right now. Until he had the ability to deal with the Great Sage, he would never follow Kun Yun to seek other things.

Kun Yun probably knew this as well, which was why he gave him the route map in advance. Mo Wuji also knew that Kun Yun had another reason for giving him the route map: he feared Mo Wuji's Fetal Transformation Divine Ability and worried that he would plot against him.

The Resting Land of the Gods was still vast. Mo Wuji shifted through the wind in the Resting Land of the Gods for more than a month before stopping. He stopped in a deserted bamboo forest, where all the bamboo had died. He didn't know what kind of bamboo this was, but even after so many years, they hadn't completely withered and decayed.

Following the array diagram given by Kun Yun, Mo Wuji wandered through the bamboo forest for three full days before stopping in front of an unremarkable withered bamboo plant. Then, he cupped his fists and said, "Junior Mo Wuji has come to pay respects to Senior Bitter Hearted Man."

There was no response. Mo Wuji opened his spiritual eyes and immediately saw a faint array gate. This meant that Kun Yun had been telling the truth and had not deceived him.

Mo Wuji didn't force his way in. He still cupped his fists and said, "Senior Bitter Hearted Man, Kun Yun and I are friends. I came here at Kun Yun's guidance."

Mo Wuji definitely needed to borrow the Years Compass. He was well aware of its usefulness to him. Although he had a large number of Creation God spiritual veins on his person, and plenty of resources for cultivation, he would need a countless amount of time to transform these resources into strength.

It took him at least tens of thousands of years to advance from the early stage of God King to the God Integration stage using Creation God spiritual veins. He couldn't wait that long.

"You have eyes of spiritual resonance, capable of seeing through all illusions?" After Mo Wuji said his second sentence, an aged voice sounded.

Mo Wuji didn't hide it. He bowed and said, "Yes, disciple possesses spiritual eyes."

Silence descended. After a full incense stick of time, Mo Wuji heard the voice again, "Come in."

Following that, a dark crack appeared before Mo Wuji. Without the slightest hesitation, Mo Wuji flashed into the crack.

Almost at the instant Mo Wuji's figure disappeared, the crack vanished without a trace.

As if sensing a spatial teleportation, Mo Wuji landed on the ground to find only a small bamboo hut before him.

The door of the bamboo hut was ajar. Before Mo Wuji could extend his spiritual will, a voice came from inside the bamboo hut, "Come in."

Mo Wuji had come here to borrow the Years Compass. He stepped into the bamboo hut without hesitation.

The bamboo hut wasn't large, no more than twenty square meters. In the middle of the hut was a bamboo cushion, and on the cushion sat an old man whose entire body was pitch black, from his hair to his clothes.

What Mo Wuji saw wasn't just the surface blackness. His laws contained dark rules, and his Heavenly Dao Laws also included dark laws.

As soon as he saw this old man, he knew that Kun Yun had been right. This guy definitely cultivated dark rules.

"The laws you cultivate contain dark rules, but they seem somewhat different from the dark rules I inherited," the old man said directly as soon as he saw Mo Wuji.

"Did you let me in because I cultivate dark rules?" Mo Wuji said in realization.

He didn't tell the old man that he knew Ku Cai, even though he suspected that the Bitter Hearted Man was related to Ku Cai. He himself didn't even know Ku Cai, so mentioning Ku Cai might backfire. Even if he were to tell the old man about Ku Cai, he would wait until he was returning the Years Compass.

The old man said calmly, "No, it's because you have spiritual eyes. If I didn't let you in, you would still find my door and break it down to enter. As for Kun Yun you mentioned, he only knows I'm here. Without my permission, he can't enter either."

Mo Wuji scratched his chin awkwardly. If the old man hadn't let him in, he would have indeed broken down the door to enter.

"Speak, why are you looking for me?" the old man said in a calm tone, neither surprised that Mo Wuji knew dark rules, nor intending to ask how Mo Wuji had learned them.

"I heard that senior has a Years Compass, and I would like to exchange something for it. Of course, if senior isn't willing to exchange, lending it to me would also be fine," Mo Wuji knew that he could only be direct at this time. He guessed that the old man had known his purpose for a long time.

Sure enough, upon hearing Mo Wuji's words, the old man chuckled, "I knew you were looking to borrow my Years Compass. Over the years, countless people have coveted my Years Compass. That hypocrite, Min Yuan, not only coveted my Years Compass but even searched for me throughout the entire Resting Land of the Gods. Yet, I, the Bitter Hearted Man, am still living well."

The Bitter Hearted Man said a lot, but didn't say whether or not he would agree to lend Mo Wuji the Years Compass.

Mo Wuji waited for a long time and could only ask again, "Senior, would it be possible for you to lend me the Years Compass?"

"No," the Bitter Hearted Man said calmly, "You can break down my residence. Anyway, I'm already old and can't defeat you young people. But if I, the Bitter Hearted Man, want to hide, even a true Sage won't be able to find me. If you don't believe me, you can try."

Mo Wuji fell silent. He believed the Bitter Hearted Man's words. The Bitter Hearted Man cultivated dark rules. Even if he had spiritual eyes and could see through all illusions, that was only within a certain range. If the Bitter Hearted Man merged with the dark rules, then it was indeed as he said, even a Sage wouldn't be able to find him.

"Senior, the Years Compass is indeed very important to junior. Junior isn't borrowing it for free. Please name your price, and as long as junior can afford it, junior will definitely provide it," Mo Wuji said solemnly.

He also had the Creation Treasure, the Heaven and Earth Furnace. If he needed to leave the Heaven and Earth Furnace here to borrow the Years Compass, he would have to. Even as he spoke of borrowing, Mo Wuji had already begun to inscribe array patterns. Now that he had finally found this place, he couldn't let this Bitter Hearted Man leave.

After secretly inscribing a few array patterns with his Storage Channel, Mo Wuji felt relieved. The Bitter Hearted Man's strength had declined too much; he was only monitoring his sea of consciousness and spiritual will and hadn't noticed his Storage Channel's spiritual will at all.

The Bitter Hearted Man said calmly, "You can't afford the price. My Years Compass is a Creation Treasure. Do you have a Creation Treasure to leave here with me? Even if you did, I wouldn't lend it to you. My Years Compass is much better than your Creation Treasure, so why would I lend it to you? Of course, I do need something, but it's something you can't obtain. It's useless to even mention it."

Sensing the Bitter Hearted Man's decaying aura, Mo Wuji's heart stirred, and he hurriedly asked, "Senior, do you need a treasure to reshape your physical body?"

The Bitter Hearted Man sneered, "You're right, but the reshaping treasure I need must simultaneously reshape the physical body and the primordial spirit, and also extend the Great Dao. For example, do you have a Cosmic Seed? For example, do you have a Flower of the Other Shore? For example, do you have an Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo?"

Mo Wuji's heart churned. He hadn't seen a Cosmic Seed, but he had seen a Flower of the Other Shore. As for the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo, he had one on his person.

"Senior, these things are all priceless treasures. Especially the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo, it's the most priceless of priceless treasures. Even if junior had these things, would I just give them to senior just to borrow senior's Years Compass for a while?" Mo Wuji took a breath and said slowly.

Mo Wuji didn't understand the true use of the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo at all. To increase his bargaining power, he deliberately pointed out the preciousness of the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo.

The Bitter Hearted Man glanced at Mo Wuji with disdain, "You're wrong. Among these three things, the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo is the least valuable. Of course, if you say that the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo is the most priceless of all, that's not wrong either. Because this bamboo is most useful to me right now. The Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo needs the aura of the creation of heaven and earth to grow. Once it grows, the star continent where the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo is located will be completely destroyed. Moreover, the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo is extremely difficult to preserve. If it's not preserved in a primeval world, it will gradually degenerate over time."

Mo Wuji suddenly understood. No wonder Kun Yun hadn't coveted his Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. It turned out that this guy knew that his Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo would degenerate over time. Unfortunately, this guy didn't know that he had the Mortal World.
