Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 921: A Lucky Yu-Shen Cultivator
There weren't many people around the edge of the Divine Domain Nest Sea to begin with, so no one saw Mo Wuji sink into the sea. Or, even if they did, no one would care.
Mo Wuji walked from the shore towards the deep sea, continuing to try his spiritual will, but it still couldn't extend. Even when he focused his spiritual eye, he could only see clearly within a three-zhang radius (approximately 10 meters). If he forcefully tried to extend his spiritual will, his sea of consciousness would immediately experience a swelling pain.
Fortunately, his spiritual eye still worked, and even though it was only three zhang, it was much better than not having any spiritual will and just feeling around the seabed with his hands.
But Mo Wuji didn't just have his spiritual eye, he also had his Storage Spiritual Meridian (储神络). When Mo Wuji's Storage Spiritual Meridian penetrated outwards, he was shocked and then overjoyed. His Storage Spiritual Meridian was unaffected, just like it was outside when the Divine Domain Nest was hatching.
Under his divine will, the bottom of the Divine Domain Nest Sea was completely exposed, and nothing could hide.
The formation of the Divine Domain Nest Sea must be related to the hatching of the Divine Domain Nest, otherwise, his sea of consciousness and spiritual will wouldn't be unable to penetrate, while his Storage Spiritual Meridian would be completely unhindered.
With his divine will able to penetrate, things became much easier for Mo Wuji. His divine will quickly scanned several cultivators groping around on the seabed, unable to see anything and forced to rely on their sense of touch to find Five Elements Sand.
The Storage Spiritual Meridian was indeed a great weapon; it had helped him twice in the Divine Domain Nest already. Without any hesitation, Mo Wuji swept his divine will out like a blanket.
In a short time, his divine will simultaneously found two pieces of water-attribute Five Elements Sand and one piece of earth-attribute Five Elements Sand.
As Mo Wuji continued to go deeper into the sea, piece after piece of Five Elements Sand was found and collected by him. Moreover, Mo Wuji also discovered that even Five Elements Sand of the same attribute varied in quality.
Good Five Elements Sand had clear Five Elements attribute rules and was basically the size of an infant's fist. Poor Five Elements Sand had very weak Five Elements attributes and was much smaller in volume, some as small as a quail egg, and the largest no bigger than a chicken egg.
In just a few days, Mo Wuji had picked up at least a thousand pieces of Five Elements Sand. Although the quantities of each attribute were different, there were at least one hundred and fifty sets or more.
Mo Wuji chose several sets of Five Elements Sand and put them in his storage bag. He decided not to continue searching. Five Elements Sand was indeed good, but he had found enough sets for his refining purposes, and any more would be useless.
With so much Five Elements Sand on him, Mo Wuji naturally didn't need to participate in any more competitions.
A violent fluctuation came over, causing Mo Wuji to stop. He carefully locked down a ten-zhang (approximately 33 meters) radius with his divine will and slowly expanded it outwards.
According to Mo Wuji's experience, the Divine Domain Nest Sea was vast but didn't hold much danger. This kind of underwater fluctuation, carrying a strong primordial energy shock, was clearly caused by fighting.
When Mo Wuji's divine will extended to thirty zhang (approximately 100 meters), he saw a familiar face: Qu You.
Mo Wuji knew this woman; she was very beautiful. Not long ago, she had come to the Tian Fan Sect's residence to ask for his help, but he had refused.
Qu You's situation was currently extremely bad. There was a wound on her chest, and blood was mixing into the seawater. Qu You was in a vigilant state. Mo Wuji knew that this woman was essentially blind in the Divine Domain Nest Sea. No matter how vigilant she was, she could only rely on instinct to resist external dangers.
Mo Wuji didn't continue to leave. Even though he hadn't agreed to Qu You's request, he didn't dislike her. The woman was beautiful, and even though she came from a large sect, she wasn't arrogant or overbearing. Also from the Forgotten River Dao Sect, Qu You gave Mo Wuji a much better feeling than Lan Ou.
Mo Wuji extended his divine will again, and what puzzled him was that he didn't see anything attacking Qu You.
After a moment, Mo Wuji saw Qu You trying to float upwards, but as soon as her feet left the seabed, an extremely thin wisp of killing intent directly broke through the water and blasted towards Qu You's brow.
Mo Wuji saw it very clearly, but Qu You still hadn't noticed anything. This attack's killing intent didn't have any aura leaking out. The water didn't even ripple in the areas where the killing intent hadn't reached. That was why Qu You hadn't noticed anything.
Because of this wisp of killing intent, Mo Wuji also saw the guy who was ambushing Qu You. He didn't know what kind of magical treasure the guy was using, but his whole body was the same color as the seawater, blending into the water. If you didn't look closely, you really wouldn't be able to see him.
Mo Wuji hesitated for a moment. He didn't know how the guy who was ambushing Qu You had found her position, but he decided to help out.
Just as Mo Wuji was about to take action, Qu You also sensed the attack. She dodged and pulled out a dagger. Spiritual will couldn't be used here, so she could only take out a dagger.
"Boom!" The dagger struck the wisp of killing intent squarely, and the wound on Qu You's chest was torn open even more by the attack, causing the surrounding seawater to surge violently again.
In any case, Qu You had managed to save her life once again.
But after this, Qu You became even more cautious. She stopped trying to float upwards and cautiously retreated.
Qu You did indeed have some skill, as expected of a core disciple of a large sect. Mo Wuji didn't wait any longer and directly fired a spiritual will arrow.
The spiritual will arrow was much more powerful than the other party's killing intent, carrying a powerful killing intent aura that tore a crack in the water and blasted towards the guy who was hiding in the water to ambush Qu You.
"Puff!" The arrow pierced through the chest of the guy ambushing Qu You. His figure could no longer blend in with the seawater. Blood spread around like ink, and the guy frantically retreated, disappearing into the depths of the Divine Domain Nest Sea in a short time.
Mo Wuji was quite impressed with the magical treasure on the guy; his spiritual will arrow had only pierced through the guy's body, and the killing intent hadn't continued to explode outwards.
Qu You was obviously not stupid. She immediately sensed the power of Mo Wuji's attack. She also felt that someone was helping her. The person helping her had directly injured the guy who was scheming against her. She didn't know Mo Wuji's location and could only clasp her fists in the water before quickly rushing towards the surface.
Mo Wuji could use his spiritual will underwater. Without waiting for Qu You to reach the surface, he used several instant movements and rushed out of the Divine Domain Nest Sea in a short time before quickly leaving.
Just after Mo Wuji left, Qu You, covered in blood, landed on the shore of the Divine Domain Nest Sea. After swallowing a few pills, she stared at the surface of the Divine Domain Nest Sea.
But at this time, neither Mo Wuji, who had saved her, nor the mysterious person who had tried to kill her reappeared.
...
Mo Wuji didn't go back. He changed his clothes and went to the Divine Domain Nest's Heavenly Earth Plaza.
The fighting in the Divine Domain Nest's Heavenly Earth Plaza was still in full swing and extremely intense. Mo Wuji had no interest in it. He went to the Divine Domain Nest's Affairs Hall.
According to Wei Jie, if you found Five Elements Sand, you could directly exchange it for a jade token to enter the newly hatched Divine Domain Nest at the Divine Domain Nest's Affairs Hall.
The Divine Domain Nest's Affairs Hall was bustling with people. Mo Wuji saw people queuing at many windows. Some were posting tasks, but there was no one at the place for exchanging jade tokens to enter the newly hatched Divine Domain Nest.
Mo Wuji considered it for a long time and finally gave up on the idea of disguising himself. This was mainly because he didn't have good disguise methods. Things like the Face-Changing Pill (遮乾丹) were trash in the Divine Domain.
If it wasn't for the medicinal cauldron stone (药鼎石) incident, Mo Wuji would definitely have found a way to buy a disguise pill before coming to exchange for the jade token. But after the medicinal cauldron stone incident, Mo Wuji was sure that the entire Divine Domain would be paying special attention to anyone buying disguise pills. If he went to buy a disguise pill, he would likely be walking right into a trap.
"You want to exchange for a jade token to enter the newly hatched Divine Domain Nest?" The mid-stage Celestial God cultivator behind the window looked at Mo Wuji in astonishment.
There was a window for exchanging Five Elements Sand for a spot to enter the newly hatched Divine Domain Nest, but it wasn't certain if anyone would actually come to exchange. It wasn't that Five Elements Sand was more precious than a spot to enter the newly hatched Divine Domain Nest, but rather that Five Elements Sand was too difficult to find. In other words, even if someone did come to exchange, it wouldn't be so fast. How long had it been since the hatching, and someone had already found Five Elements Sand?
"That's right..." Mo Wuji said yes and saw a small sign next to him.
The sign clearly stated the method for exchanging Five Elements Sand for jade tokens to enter the newly hatched Divine Domain Nest: five pieces of Five Elements Sand (gold, wood, water, fire, earth) formed a set, and each set could be exchanged for one jade token. If you obtained two sets of Five Elements Sand at the same time, you could exchange them for three jade tokens...
When Mo Wuji saw that obtaining five sets of Five Elements Sand could be exchanged for ten entrance jade tokens, he didn't hesitate to take out five sets of Five Elements Sand and hand them in.
"You obtained five sets of Five Elements Sand at once?" The Celestial God cultivator stared at Mo Wuji in even greater astonishment, even forgetting to take the Five Elements Sand from Mo Wuji's hand.
Mo Wuji asked, "Is there a problem?"
Mo Wuji was experienced in dealing with people and was quite savvy. Taking out five sets of Five Elements Sand was a bit conspicuous, but he had no choice. Who told him to be the senior brother and have several junior siblings with him? Therefore, the top-tier Five Elements Sand accounted for a quarter of his five sets, the worst also accounted for a quarter, and the rest were all average Five Elements Sand.
"No problem, no problem." The Celestial God cultivator quickly replied, checked the five sets of Five Elements Sand handed in by Mo Wuji, and gave Mo Wuji ten jade tokens.
Even after Mo Wuji left the Affairs Hall, the Celestial God cultivator still hadn't recovered. He suspected that Mo Wuji had found a Five Elements Sand nest on the seabed of the Divine Domain Nest Sea, allowing him to obtain five sets all at once. He then shook his head, thinking that such a thing wasn't impossible. Someone had even found over a hundred pieces of Five Elements Sand in the same place in the Divine Domain Nest Sea before. He could only say that the little God Nascent cultivator from just now was very lucky.
