"I heard that after Ice Fairy was stripped of her Godhead, she was tied to the Punishment Cliff, exposed to wind and rain, and made to face the wall in repentance." After the cultivator surnamed Wei finished speaking, he sighed and took a sip of Profound Mist.

Anger surged in Mo Wuji's heart. If he had the ability, he would have smashed the entire Wangchuan Dao Sect into ruins with a single palm.

"Thank you, fellow cultivators, for telling me about this..." Mo Wuji didn't need to pretend at this moment; his tone was also somewhat lost.

He was a sentimental person. Qu You had shown him great kindness. Without Qu You, he wouldn't even have his life. He not only had no way to repay this great kindness, but also allowed Qu You to suffer such great harm. How could he be at peace?

Seeing Mo Wuji stand up somewhat dejectedly, the cultivator surnamed Wei patted Mo Wuji's arm, seemingly able to understand Mo Wuji's feelings.

...

Mo Wuji had only one thing on his mind: he had to save Qu You. But he was only at the third level of the God Nourishing Realm now. How could he save Qu You?

This thought only flashed in Mo Wuji's mind for a moment before he discarded it. He could ignore Qu You's misfortune if he hadn't known about it, but now that he knew, if he didn't go to save her, he would never be at peace in his life.

It was almost impossible for him to save Qu You with his current strength. He had to think of a way...

Mo Wuji stepped out of the rest building with his mind preoccupied. The cool breeze outside the rest building blew, and Mo Wuji subconsciously shuddered.

His brain cleared from the anger of Qu You's persecution, and he regained his composure. Whether he wanted to save Qu You or not, his current state was definitely not acceptable.

As soon as his mind cleared, Mo Wuji felt that what the cultivator surnamed Wei had said earlier was problematic. Moreover, the cultivator surnamed Wei had shown signs earlier when he said that his aptitude was heaven-defying and that he had killed hundreds of geniuses from various sects in the newly hatched God Domain Nest. That was nonsense.

He had killed forty-seven people, and only disciples from the Nine Transformations God Sect and the Luan Soul God Prefecture. As for hundreds of people, that was completely fabricated.

The reason why the cultivator surnamed Wei said hundreds of people was because he had also heard it secondhand, from words that had been passed around again and again, resulting in a distorted version. Since the cultivator surnamed Wei was mistaken about his information, other information could also be wrong.

Secondly, according to his understanding, the Wangchuan Dao Sect had two God Kings: the Mo Hai God King and the Yin Mu God King. It was rumored that the Mo Hai God King was one of the top ten God Kings in the God Domain. It was strange for one of the top ten God Kings in the God Domain to suddenly suffer a qi deviation.

According to the cultivator surnamed Wei's information, the Mo Hai God King was likely harmed by the Yin Mu God King. But the Mo Hai God King was one of the top ten God Kings. If he could be so easily harmed by an ordinary God King, how did he become one of the top ten God Kings? Or were the top ten God Kings unworthy of the name?

If what the cultivator surnamed Wei said was true, then the purpose was definitely for the Chaos Godhead. The Yin Mu God King was likely colluding with the Yan Ting God King and the Ye Sa God King to harm the Mo Hai God King. There was only one Chaos Godhead. Even if it was stripped away, would this Chaos Godhead be given to the Yin Mu God King or to the Yan Ting God King and the Ye Sa God King? Moreover, could the Chaos Godhead be stripped after it was condensed?

These few doubts were already very significant, but they were not the biggest doubts. One of the biggest doubts was Qu You's master. According to the information the cultivator surnamed Wei had obtained, the reason why Qu You was not killed by the Yin Mu God King was because Qu You's master came forward to save her.

Then the question arose: how could Qu You's master save Qu You from the Yin Mu God King's hands?

Mo Wuji knew that the Wangchuan Dao Sect only had two God Kings: the Mo Hai God King and the Yin Mu God King. Even if Qu You's master was at the ninth level of the World God Realm, she would not be qualified to save Qu You from the Yin Mu God King's hands.

The Yin Mu God King stripped Qu You of her Godhead. Even a small rogue cultivator in a remote area knew about this matter. Would he not kill Qu You because of her master?

Moreover, a God King could not possibly not care about his reputation. Now, a God King was stripping a core disciple of the Chaos Godhead she had obtained for his own Godhead. Even if this God King succeeded in the end, his reputation would probably be ruined.

So even if what the cultivator surnamed Wei said earlier was true, it was impossible for these things to be known to everyone on the streets. Because of these doubts, Mo Wuji decided to go to other places to inquire more thoroughly.

...

A month later, Mo Wuji appeared in a small God Corner rest building near the Wangchuan Dao Sect with a grim expression.

After a month of inquiries and investigations, he had gone to more than ten cultivation cities and dozens of markets and places where rogue cultivators gathered. The information he obtained was basically the same as what the cultivator surnamed Wei had said. In other words, the cultivator surnamed Wei was not lying. It was true that Qu You's Godhead had been stripped, and it was true that Qu You had been punished.

He had even obtained a short video of Qu You being punished. In the video, Qu You was tied to a stone pillar on the Punishment Cliff of the Wangchuan Dao Sect.

Mo Wuji had met Qu You many times, and they even had intimate contact. He knew at a glance that it was Qu You. It was true that Qu You had been punished.

Mo Wuji clenched his fists secretly, and his mind became clearer. No matter what, he had to save Qu You.

To save Qu You, he had to do two things first. The first thing was to confirm for himself whether Qu You was really tied to the Punishment Cliff.

The Punishment Cliff was where the Wangchuan Dao Sect punished its disciples. In order to warn the entire sect, the Wangchuan Dao Sect would allow the entire sect to see when disciples were punished on the Punishment Cliff. So he had to confirm, which shouldn't be too difficult.

The second thing was how to save Qu You.

He couldn't rely on himself to save Qu You. He had to seek external help.

...

The place with the richest spiritual Qi in the Wangchuan Dao Sect. Qu You opened her eyes excitedly. In less than two short years, she had advanced from the first level of the Celestial God Realm to the seventh level of the Celestial God Realm.

In terms of aptitude, she was indeed good, but she was not the best. There were too many cultivators in the God Domain with spiritual root aptitudes above hers, but she had never heard of a Celestial God cultivator who had advanced from the first level of the Celestial God Realm to the seventh level in just over a year.

The main credit for this was not the rich spiritual Qi resources here, nor her spiritual root aptitude, but the Chaos Godhead.

After shaping the Chaos Godhead, Qu You clearly understood how strong her comprehension was. As long as she captured the rules of heaven and earth, she could comprehend them. As long as she came into contact with various divine abilities and techniques, she could easily master them.

Qu You looked up at the void, and a clear figure appeared in her mind. To be precise, it was a heavily injured cultivator covered in blood and with his bones broken into pieces.

His name was Mo Wuji.

Previously, Qu You had found it difficult to understand why Mo Wuji would give her the Chaos Godhead. Now, she understood even more how precious the Chaos Godhead was. The Chaos Godhead was more precious than anyone could imagine.

But what had she done to help him? Was it the grace of saving his life?

Qu You shook her head. If she said she had shown Mo Wuji the grace of saving his life, she would feel ashamed. Mo Wuji had saved her twice, and she had only taken Mo Wuji away once.

The reason she felt ashamed was because she hadn't taken action when Mo Wuji was besieged, or even about to be killed. Or rather, she didn't dare to take action.

Thinking of Mo Wuji's clear-cut and distinct temperament, and how he had challenged forty-nine experts stronger than him from the Nine Transformations God Sect and the Luan Soul God Prefecture in a fit of anger because the Heavenly Mortal Sect had been framed by them, Qu You forgot to continue cultivating.

In her memory, in her understanding, was there anyone like Mo Wuji? The answer was unique: no.

In that instant, a impulse arose in Qu You's heart, wanting to see that Mo Wuji again. It wasn't love, but an unspeakable desire.

She stopped cultivating and subconsciously prayed, hoping that he would be safe and sound in the God Domain Nest. Hoping that this only man who had left a mark in her heart would be safe and sound.

This trace was not just this Chaos Godhead, but the domineering and resolute aura he expressed after hearing the news of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. The courage to challenge forty-nine cultivators stronger than him, the arrogance to stand tall even with his body covered in wounds and his limbs broken.

...

Wangchuan Peak.

The number one divine peak of the Wangchuan Dao Sect, also the location of the sect's main hall, and the place where the Wangchuan Dao Sect's number one God King, the Mo Hai God King, cultivated.

At this moment, in a reception room at the peak of Wangchuan Peak, three men were sitting inside.

These three men included the Wangchuan Dao Sect's two great God Kings, the Mo Hai God King and the Yin Mu God King, as well as the God Domain's number one God King, the Li Tian God King.

The Mo Hai God King took a sip of spiritual tea and sighed, "Brother Li Tian, this time you probably misjudged. I suspect that Mo Wuji is still in the newly hatched God Domain Nest and hasn't come out yet."

The Li Tian God King shook his head, "No, I'm sure he's come out. As for the reason, you'll know that my judgment is not wrong when Mo Wuji comes."

The Yin Mu God King said with some doubt, "Brother Li Tian, if Mo Wuji is really only at the God Nourishing Realm, even if he knows about Qu You's matter, he wouldn't come, right?"

The Li Tian God King smiled slightly, "I understand people like him too well. If he knows about Qu You's matter, he will definitely come."

"Why?" The Yin Mu God King didn't understand. He really couldn't figure out why someone would do something that was so suicidal.

"If you hadn't condensed a Godhead, would you give the Chaos Godhead to someone else casually?" The Li Tian God King asked.

The Yin Mu God King shook his head almost without hesitation. Even if it was the grace of saving his life, he couldn't give the Chaos Godhead to someone else. Not to mention not having condensed a Godhead, even if he had condensed a Godhead, he wouldn't do it.

"But that Mo Wuji did it. This is the character, or rather, the temperament of people like him." The Li Tian God King said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, he's very young and has an impulse and persistence in his blood. People like this are also called sentimental people."

Speaking of this, the Li Tian God King sighed, "If it weren't for breaking through the God King Realm, I really wouldn't want to use this method to find him."

The Mo Hai God King stood up, cupped his fists to the Li Tian God King and said, "Brother Li Tian, he gave Qu You her Godhead. In any case, please spare his life."

The Li Tian God King said solemnly, "I won't kill him. I just want to understand why a mortal like him can possess his own rule powers that have nothing to do with heaven and earth. If I can understand this, I can break through the God King Realm and successfully combine with the Dao. Only in this way can the God Domain continue to exist. He is related to our entire God Domain, not just me alone."

(I have something to do outside today, so the timing of the second update is uncertain.)
