Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 946 Sea of Silent Extinction
To save Qu You, Mo Wuji had already scoured the area within billions of miles around the Forgotten River Dao Gate. He was certain that he had never been here before. This meant that the Level Four God Escape Talisman had taken him far away from the Forgotten River Dao Gate, beyond billions of miles.
With just this one talisman, he didn't need any other means to escape the Forgotten River Dao Gate.
"What a powerful talisman..." Mo Wuji muttered to himself.
Such a talisman was equivalent to a life, and wasting one was like wasting a life. Unfortunately, if he wanted to obtain another Level Four God Talisman, he could only refine the fourth layer of restrictions on the Saint Dao Talisman.
Mo Wuji shook his head, putting the talisman matter behind him. He couldn't refine such a Level Four Spatial Escape Talisman. Even if he dedicated himself entirely to the Dao of Talismans, he wouldn't be able to refine a Level Four Spatial Escape Talisman in the short term.
This required the integration of spatial rules, and he was only at the third level of the God Nourishing Stage. He hadn't even touched the spatial rules of the God Domain, so how could he refine a spatial escape talisman?
Looking back at the vast and boundless path he had taken, Mo Wuji knew that he should leave this place.
From this day on, he would have no place to stand in the God Domain.
Even if Mo Wuji didn't know that the Hongmeng Life Essence could allow God Kings to sense the opportunity to comprehend the Dao of Fusion, he was clear that the Hongmeng Life Essence was definitely not a simple treasure. The fact that countless streams of light left the Forgotten River Dao Gate after he sent out the Hongmeng Life Essence showed how precious it was.
The powerful individuals lured away from the Forgotten River Dao Gate would quickly realize that the Hongmeng Life Essence was what he had taken out. If he took out such a valuable thing and stayed in the God Domain, wasn't that courting death?
The only place he could go now was the Silent Sea.
...
Above the swamp where Mo Wuji had set up his cave abode, although it couldn't be said that rivers of blood flowed, at least hundreds or thousands of cultivators had perished here. The bottle of Hongmeng Life Essence, half of which had been leaked out, had long disappeared without a trace. No one knew who had snatched it away.
After the Hongmeng Life Essence was snatched, Xuan Ling God King directly fled, not wanting to get entangled with Li Tian God King.
Li Tian God King, along with Mo Hai God King and Yin Mu God King, returned to the Forgotten River Dao Gate more than half a day later.
In the guest hall at the peak of Forgotten River Peak, the three God Kings who had just returned sat in silence. No one went to chase Mo Wuji. Having cultivated to the God King realm, how could they not know that if Mo Wuji had arranged things so carefully, they would never be able to catch him?
"Brother Li Tian, what do you think we should do next?" Mo Hai God King asked proactively.
Mo Hai God King didn't lie to Li Tian God King. He told the truth, saying that the Hongmeng Life Essence might have been taken out by Mo Wuji to lure them away from the Forgotten River Dao Gate. He knew that even if he didn't say it, Li Tian God King would guess it later.
"This person doesn't know what inheritance he obtained, but he actually has so many treasures on him. And the thing that can conceal the Hongmeng Life Essence is also not simple," Li Tian God King sighed.
Mo Hai God King and Yin Mu God King didn't interrupt. Since Li Tian God King accurately predicted that Mo Wuji would come to the Forgotten River Dao Gate, they had no doubts about Li Tian God King's judgment.
If all three of them hadn't been lured away by the Hongmeng Life Essence, Mo Wuji would have already been captured by them.
"This matter is my fault. At least one of us should have stayed here," Li Tian God King shook his head.
Mo Hai God King and Yin Mu God King didn't speak. Everyone understood the situation. If it happened again, none of them would stay behind.
When the Hongmeng Life Essence appeared, who wouldn't want to fight for it?
"It's foreseeable that Mo Wuji has more and more valuable things on him than we imagined. We must find him first," Li Tian God King seemed to have made up his mind.
Mo Hai God King and Yin Mu God King didn't speak. They had waited for Mo Wuji here for more than a year and hadn't caught him. Now that Mo Wuji was alerted, where could they find him?
Li Tian God King said again, "Actually, there is someone who might know where Mo Wuji is."
"Qu You?" Mo Hai God King and Yin Mu God King simultaneously said Qu You's name, obviously understanding Li Tian God King's words.
Li Tian God King nodded. "Mo Wuji was willing to give the Chaos God Lattice to Qu You, so it's very likely that he told Qu You where he would go. According to Qu Xi, I can be sure that even if we are God Kings and Mo Wuji is only at the early stages of the God Nourishing Stage, we won't be able to find Mo Wuji if we purely search for him. This person is too slippery and cautious."
"I'll call Qu You over," Mo Hai God King immediately sent out a message.
In less than an incense stick of time, Qu You appeared at the peak of Forgotten River Peak. She respectfully saluted the three God Kings, "Qu You greets Senior Li Tian, greets Ancestor Mo Hai, and greets Ancestor Yin Mu."
"Not bad, not bad, already at the peak of the eighth level of the Heavenly God Stage. Qu You, have you encountered any difficulties in your recent cultivation?" Seeing Qu You come over, Yin Mu God King asked with a smile.
Qu You didn't quite understand why the God King seniors had called her here. She quickly replied, "Junior's cultivation progress has been rapid recently, and her understanding is very clear. She hasn't encountered any bottlenecks."
Mo Hai said with a smile, "It seems we really have to thank this Mo Wuji. He is a generous man. Qu You, after you come out of seclusion this time, you must invite Mo Wuji to our sect. Your Ancestor Yin Mu and I will personally thank him. Do you know how precious the Chaos God Lattice is? Because you condensed the Chaos God Lattice, you are very likely to break through the God King shackles in the future. Because of this, his kindness is great."
"Yes, Ancestor, Junior will keep it in mind," Qu You replied respectfully again, feeling uneasy in her heart while answering the God King Ancestors.
Yin Mu also said with a smile, "You don't need to be restrained. Soon, you will be the pride of our Forgotten River Dao Gate. Our Forgotten River Dao Gate will also take another step forward because of you."
He knew Qu You's character very well. Qu You certainly wouldn't take credit for this kind of thing.
Sure enough, Qu You immediately said when she heard this, "If it weren't for Senior Brother Mo Wuji giving me the Chaos God Lattice, my aptitude and comprehension ability would never have reached today's level."
Yin Mu said solemnly, "You're right. Mo Wuji did play a key role in this matter. Do you know where Mo Wuji went? Just as your Ancestor Mo Hai said, our Forgotten River Dao Gate must thank him."
Qu You opened her mouth to say that Mo Wuji was very likely to go to the Silent Sea to wait for the Clear Sea Dao Path. But she swallowed the words back. It wasn't that she didn't trust the two ancestors. It was that she had secretly instructed herself not to reveal that Mo Wuji might go to the Silent Sea.
"I don't know either. He just told me he was going back to the sect to take a look. I don't know if he's been there," Qu You was talking to the three God Kings for the first time, which made her feel very uneasy.
"You may go down. Cultivate well. By the way, here's a Condensing Sovereign God Pill for you," Ancestor Mo Hai said with a smile, taking out a jade bottle and handing it to Qu You.
The Condensing Sovereign God Pill was the most valuable Level Three Pill in the Heavenly God Realm. It could give Heavenly God cultivators a chance to step into the God Monarch Realm. Each pill was priceless.
Qu You quickly took the jade bottle with joy and thanked them again before slowly retreating.
After Qu You retreated, Yin Mu God King sighed, "She should have told a lie."
Mo Hai God King obviously knew that Qu You had told a lie. He smiled and said, "Let it be. She and Mo Wuji should have had words of trust. Let's not force her."
Qu You, who had condensed the Chaos God Lattice, held a very important position in Mo Hai God King's heart.
Li Tian smiled slightly, "She definitely told a lie, but there's no need to force Qu You to tell the truth. There's a recall array called Mind Reading. As long as we set up this Mind Reading Array in Qu You's cultivation place, we can make Qu You tell the truth. But this Mind Reading Array needs to be arranged by God King Liu Qi, and it will take about a few months."
...
Mo Wuji's surface was covered in blood, and he looked seriously injured. In fact, under the nourishment of his life force network, his injuries were recovering quickly. In just one month, his injuries had healed for the most part.
Whether his injuries were healed or not, Mo Wuji was hurrying towards the Silent Sea. Even if he didn't know when the Clear Sea Dao Path would appear, Mo Wuji couldn't care less.
He had a vague feeling that the Silent Sea was his only way out.
Five months later, an endless dark red ocean appeared in Mo Wuji's divine sense. A wave of death aura came, and Mo Wuji breathed a sigh of relief. He knew he had reached the outer reaches of the Silent Sea.
In five months, the middle-grade God Crystals and high-grade God Crystals on his body had been used up. Not for cultivation, but for traveling. This was because he didn't dare to take super-long-distance teleportation arrays. With his tens of thousands of God Crystals, he couldn't even afford one trip.
Besides taking teleportation arrays, he spent most of his time traveling with the Wind Escape Technique. After his divine sense saw the Silent Sea, Mo Wuji used a Wind Shift and landed directly on the edge of the Silent Sea.
Just like the news he had received, there wasn't a single cultivator around the Silent Sea, nor was there any trace of spiritual energy. The coastline was like a dark red line, extending endlessly.
Mo Wuji looked down at the seaside. The sand and stones on the beach were dark red, and he could even smell a faint bloody aura. The sea was boundless, but strangely, he couldn't see any waves, not even ripples.
Because there were no waves and no wind blowing, standing on the seaside was as quiet as being in a soundproofed room. Perhaps the Silent Sea was the quietest sea in the universe.
Mo Wuji took out a feather from his ring and threw it on the sea surface. The feather sank instantly without any hesitation. He took out a well-made small boat and threw it on the sea surface again. The light red seawater seemed to have no buoyancy, and the small boat sank instantly as well.
Looking up at the boundless Silent Sea, Mo Wuji sighed inwardly, when will the Clear Sea Dao Path appear?
(That's it for today's update, good night friends!)
