Immortal Mortal Chapter 859-868

Chapter 859: Kill Zi Changluo

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Mists of blood formed under that punch.

If Mo Wuji used four punches to deal with those three Immortal Emperors, then he only used a single punch to deal with everyone else. Moreover, the other party’s attacks didn’t even manage to break through Mo Wuji’s domain.

After those five punches, three Immortal Emperors, five Immortal Reverents and six Immortal Kings were killed without exception. The only one that Mo Wuji used two punches on was that late stage Immortal Emperor.

Under Mo Wuji’s powerful whirlpool domain, even that late stage Immortal Emperor could only struggle before being killed by Mo Wuji’s punches.

With five simple punches, more than ten experts were killed. There was no need to talk about the power behind those attacks, the precision was even more impressive. There wasn’t any leftover energy behind Mo Wuji’s attacks. Five punches, no more, no less.

At this instant, the spectators didn’t even dare to breathe. The only person that they could think of was the Very High Heavens’ Dao Emperor Zi Changluo.

Perhaps only Zi Changluo had such power.

The moment they thought about Zi Changluo, some of them figured out who ordered the arrest of Mo Wuji. The Very High Heavens was indeed the one that ordered Mo Wuji’s arrest. With that order, and Mo Wuji’s immense strength…

Many of them predicted that an earthshaking change was going to befall the Immortal World. This change was either the death of Mo Wuji or the collapse of the Very High Heavens’ Zi Changluo’s rule over the Immortal World.

Chen San stared blankly at the experts that have been reduced to mists of blood by Mo Wuji. He saw as Mo Wuji retrieved the ten over storage rings without uttering a single word.

By now, he finally understood that the reason why Mo Wuji wanted him to retreat wasn’t because Mo Wuji was afraid. It was because Mo Wuji wanted to give him a way out on account of Chen Hu. Others might think that only Zi Changluo could be as powerful as Mo Wuji, but he knew clearly that even Zi Changluo wouldn’t be able to do a thing. This was because he had met Zi Changluo before; Zi Changluo was far from being as impressive as Mo Wuji.

After some time, Chen San clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji respectfully, "Many thanks, Sect Head Mo for sparing my life. Otherwise, Chen San would have already perished."

Mo Wuji nodded, "Chen Hu was not a petty person. I can also tell that you are a forthright person. Why did you kill the innocent just because of the Very High Heavens?"

Chen San sighed and said, "Sect Head Mo, this is because I want to plead the Very High Heavens to send people to search for my son, Chen Hu. That’s why I went against my conscience."

As Chen San was speaking, Mo Wuji had already condensed a huge hand from immortal elemental energy. With a sudden grab, Ding Po Immortal City’s array started to rumble and shatter. It seemed as though a layer of translucent air had been shaved off Ding Po Immortal City; the city seemed clearer and the atmosphere felt looser.

Chen San was an intermediate stage Immortal Emperor; he naturally knew that Mo Wuji had just destroyed a layer of Ding Po’s arrays. To be honest, he felt that even though Ding Po Immortal City’s Castellan Wan Mi had taken part in the attack on Ping Fan, Ding Po Immortal City itself wasn’t at fault. If Mo Wuji was going to exterminate everyone in Ding Po Immortal City because of that, he felt that Mo Wuji’s actions were too cruel.

When many knowledgeable cultivators saw Mo Wuji’s actions, their hearts began to shiver in fear. Many of them were worried that Mo Wuji was going to raze the entire Ding Po Immortal City. However, no one had the guts to leave. Fleeing in front of an expert like Mo Wuji was only bringing your death closer.

"Sect Head Mo, it’s Castellan Wan Mi and part of the Castellan Estate’s men that took part in the attack against Ping Fan Immortal School. Just now, Brother Mo has already killed Wan Mi. I would like to request Brother Mo to not destroy Ding Po Immortal City." Chen San’s heart was filled with worry. He knew that Mo Wuji would only need a single punch to kill him, however, he still hardened his resolution to make this request. There were many innocent people in Ding Po Immortal City.

Mo Wuji didn’t even have the intentions of razing Ding Po Immortal City; he was not Grand Emperor Lun Cai. Now that he heard Chen San say that Ding Po Immortal City’s Castellan Wan Mi had also participated in the attack on Ping Fan Immortal School, he immediately threw out multiple array flags, sealing the entire Castellan Estate.

Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards the crowd and said, "Immortal friends, I believe that everyone should know who I am. Those years ago, I was cornered by several huge sects and pursued by multiple Grand Emperors. If not for my good luck, this world would not have a Mo Wuji a long time ago. There’s no need for me to elaborate on why I was being pursued. Everyone should know it; it was the simple reason of greed."

The whole crowd went silent. When an expert like Mo Wuji was speaking, who would dare to utter any noise?

Sensing the fear and apprehension towards himself, Mo Wuji continued, "I, Mo Wuji, am not a coarse man like that Lun Cai. I will not take my anger out on the innocent. My sect is Ping Fan Immortal School. In my sect, even the most ordinary of mortals could have authority to speak for themselves; no immortals are allowed to kill mortals. Why would I act against the people of Ding Po Immortal City? I stand in front of all of you today, only to share the evil deeds of certain people.

As for that array that I just destroyed, it’s not actually a defensive array but a grand immortal jar array. It’s used to trap people. Those years ago, this grand immortal jar array was installed to trap me. However, it didn’t manage to catch me. I didn’t think that this array would still be here. I didn’t destroy this immortal jar array for myself, but for everyone."

As expected, when everyone heard that Mo Wuji didn’t destroy the defensive array of Ding Po Immortal City, almost all of them eased up. Don’t simply look at the accusations against Mo Wuji by the powerful sects and the malicious announcements made by the Very High Heavens. In reality, that are few fools among those that could cultivate to the Heavenly Immortal Stage.

Which one of them would treat those accusations and announcements as the truth? Those years ago, weren’t there claims that that Mo Wuji had exterminated the Dragon Race’s bloodline in West Moat Ocean? Ultimately, it was revealed that Mo Wuji wasn’t the villain, but the benefactor of the Dragon Race. In fact, it was a survivor of the West Moat Ocean’s Dragon Race that cleared Mo Wuji’s name. This sort of testament was more effective than any other form of explanation.

With this incident as the precedent, who would still continue to believe the lies about Mo Wuji?

"Sect Head Mo, we believe you." Someone in the crowd shouted.

Compared to the Very High Heavens, people were more willing to trust Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji’s Ping Fan Immortal Sect was already a clear example. In the Immortal World, where could all men live together equally? There was only one such place - Ping Fan.

Buddhist schools claim that all lives are equal. However, the true reality was that countless of murders still take part in the Buddhist Immortal Domain. Not only that, Great Kun Buddhist Sect’s Guang Xing had personally participated in the encirclement of Mo Wuji. That was common knowledge.

Mo Wuji eased his tone. He spoke with a clearer voice, "I urgently want to return to my Ping Fan Immortal School. However, I still want to let everyone know of the deeds of Very High Heavens’ Zi Changluo. Not only ago, I was just at Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos."

Hearing that Mo Wuji was at Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos not long ago, almost everyone went silent.

Previously, few knew about the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos. Now, few were unaware of it.

This was because the Very High Heavens had announced to the Immortal World that more than a hundred races in the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos had joined hands to deal with the Immortal World’s Human Race. Almost all of the Human Race cultivators in Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos were killed. Very High Heavens’ Dao Emperor Zi Changluo fought valiantly but he only managed to save a few people and they fled back to the Very High Heavens.

Mo Wuji had just returned to the Immortal World; he still didn’t know that Zi Changluo had painted black as white. His tone was calm as he continued, "Immortal Friends, the Very High Heavens is the face of our Immortal World; the protection of the Human Race cultivators in the Immortal World should be their objective. However, in reality, any other race can kill our Human Race cultivators in the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos’s Cosmos Edge. In the entire Cosmos Edge, the Human Race does not have any dignity or honour to speak of.

Does everyone know what Zi Changluo has done? He hid in his nest, too afraid to come out. He didn’t even dare to speak up for those Human Race cultivators that got unreasonably killed in Cosmos Edge. Thereafter, I came to Cosmos Edge. I saw the Gods Race’s young lord killing our Human Race cultivators without reason. I was not able to hold it in. I killed that young lord, and at the same time, I killed the Gods Race’s Immortal Emperors that encircled me…"

Hearing these words of Mo Wuji, an applause sounded from within the crowd.

Mo Wuji raised his volume, "But what did Zi Changluo do? He actually tried to appease the Gods Race; he took part in the Gods Race order to arrest me. It’s just that the Gods Race had long had the intentions of occupying the last immortal city that the Human Race had in Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos. They didn’t even care about Zi Changluo’s actions as they sent their armies to surround the Human Race’s city and slaughter the people within.

I don’t know how Zi Changluo managed to become the Dao Lord of the Very High Heavens, or how he was even able to control the entire Immortal World. I only have one sentence to say about that: This person is not worthy. When the Gods Race were invading our city, when the cultivators of our Human Race were fighting with their lives on the line, do you know what he did?"

Mo Wuji shouted harshly, "Zi Changluo didn’t fight with them. He secretly snuck out of the immortal city. If that was not enough, he abandoned millions of Human Race cultivators to ensure his escape. He only brought ten over people with him when he fled. After he fled, he closed the passage between the Very High Heavens and the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos. This was what that coward, Zi Changluo, did."

Hearing Mo Wuji’s words, the crowd started to get agitated. Many of the cultivators that went to Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos were friends and relatives to the people here.

Zi Changluo told them that he had fought hard for the Human Race. They didn’t think that the truth would be the exact opposite. This was clearly a form of humiliation.

"Sect Head Mo, how did you know of this?" Someone in the crowd asked.

Mo Wuji grabbed a crystal ball and said, "Back then, Zi Changluo had abandoned many Immortal Emperors. However, only three managed to survive. The three are Waterfall Immortal Sect’s Immortal Empress Wen Lan, Virtual Qing Dao’s Dao Lord Jie Ying and Revolving Soul Dao’s Sect Head Lu Ziting.

The three of them fought bravely. Coupled with the fact that the Gods Race wanted to leave behind some of the Human Race cultivators for a blood sacrifice, the three of them were able to escape the immortal city with little more than a hundred thousand cultivators. I’m truly grateful that one of those cultivators recorded what happened; he allowed us to forever remember that instant."

With that, Mo Wuji activated the crystal ball.

The scenes of a violent battle appeared. Indeed, there were scenes of Lu Ziting, Immortal Empress Wen Lan and Jie Ying fighting courageously with countless of Human Race cultivators. The Human Race cultivators were continuously being slaughtered; the diminishing numbers could be seen with the naked eye.

However, within those scenes, there was no Zi Changluo; nor were there any of the people that returned back with him.

"Kill Zi Changluo!"

"That shameless man!"

"False gentleman! Let’s storm into the Very High Heavens…"

The cries of anger got louder and louder. Ultimately, they seemed to join together into one loud chant: "Storm the Very High Heavens! Kill that shameless Zi Changluo!"

Chapter 860: No More Mercy

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Immortal Friends, I will definitely storm the Very High Heavens. But before that, I will return to my Ping Fan Immortal School. No matter who they are, anyone that dared to kill the innocent of my Ping Fan Immortal School must pay the price." Mo Wuji didn’t continue further; he didn’t have time to talk about how he had exterminated the Gods Race and that the Human Race now had rights in Cosmos Edge.

"Sect Head Mo, under the leadership of the Very High Heavens and three huge sects, many experts have gathered to attack it. That entire area is prohibited from entry." A person within the crowd explained Ping Fan’s current situation. In reality, no one was really clear about the exact situation; all these information were largely based on rumours.

"Sect Head Mo, we are willing to follow you."

…

Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, " There are some people in Ding Po Immortal City that participated in the attack on my Ping Fan Immortal School. I hope that everyone can provide the names of those people."

"I know, Ma Kangxuan, Di Yi…"

"There’s also Wan Mi’s disciple…"

In a short period of time, more than a hundred names were mentioned. With a quick scan with his spiritual will, Mo Wuji found that there were approximately a hundred people in the Castellan Estate. He was worried that Ping Fan might be in danger. He directly formed a huge palm of immortal elemental energy.

The entire Castallen Estate was crashed into dust.

"Immortal Friend Chen San, Ding Po Immortal City no longer has a Castellan. I have to trouble Immortal Friend Chen San to temporarily control Ding Po Immortal City," Mo Wuji said before he left.

Chen San answered seriously, "Sect Head Mo, I am naturally willing to take up the mantle. It’s just that I want to follow Sect Head Mo to Ping Fan Immortal School. I, Chen San, might not very strong, but I might be able to be of help."

"We are also willing to help Mo Wuji, kill those shameless b*stards of the Very High Heavens," Some people shouted from the crowd.

Mo Wuji could only say, "I, alone, am enough to deal with the matter regarding Ping Fan. After I’m done with that, and when I’m going to storm the Very High Heavens, I welcome everyone to join me."

"Since that’s the case, I will stay here and organise Ding Po Immortal City. In the future, I will definitely follow Sect Head Mo to the Very High Heavens." Chen San said in a straightforward manner. He was clear that Mo Wuji wasn’t boasting. With Mo Wuji’s power, even if there were any more people encircling Ping Fan, it still wouldn’t be enough.

"Brother Qu, what happened to these friends of your?" Mo Wuji turned to Qu Yang and asked.

Qu Yang clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji and said, "The few of us were from Half Immortal Domain. Previously, we helped to speak up for Brother Mo and we were caught by the men from the Castellan Estate. Wan Mi personally nailed us to the city wall. If not for that b*stard Wan Mi torturing me, I would have died a long time ago. The three of them truly died for no good reason. I have implicated them, ai…"

It was exactly as Qu Yang said; among the four of them, only he was alive. These three people could not even be called people anymore. It was more accurate to call them dry wood; their bones were withered and there was no intact piece of meat left on their bodies.

Seeing these three corpses, Mo Wuji could only sigh in his heart. He didn’t know these people. It could be said that these people managed to survive and come to the Immortal World because of him. They wouldn’t have expected that when they got to the Immortal World, they would be killed over a single sentence by a b*stard like Wan Mi. If Mo Wuji knew about this beforehand, he definitely wouldn’t have let Wan Mi have such a simple death.

"Brother Qu, are you willing to follow me back to Ping Fan?" Mo Wuji invited Qu Yang. However, he could guess that with Qu Yang’s pride, Qu Yang probably wouldn’t follow him.

Indeed, Qu Yang said, "I know that if I go to Ping Fan Immortal School, my path would be smoother. However, I swore that I would definitely rebuild the Absolute Saber Sect in the Immortal World one day. Thus, I cannot follow Brother Mo."

"Then Brother Qu, take care of yourself. Also, I have to request Brother Qu to help me take care of the funerals of these few friends." Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards Qu Yang, then he bowed towards the three withered corpses. After which, he retrieved his flying car and sped off with Shuai Guo, Da Huang and Mo Qingche."

He didn’t directly give Qu Yang a storage ring; when he left, he secretly slipped a ring on Qu Yang’s finger. By the time Qu Yang calms himself down, he would naturally notice it.

"Go, let’s also go to Ping Fan immortal Sect. After Ping Fan emerges from its encirclement, I will be the first to follow Sect Head Mo to storm the Very High Heavens." The moment Mo Wuji left, someone within the crowd shouted.

"Right. Also, we should spread the disgraceful deeds of the Very High Heavens to all the Immortal Domains. We must let everyone open their eyes and see the true appearance of the Very High Heavens."

…

The area around Ping Fan Immortal School was indeed sealed. The ones that sealed it were five Grand Emperors, namely Great Sword Path’s Yi Minghu, Lightning Sect’s Lei Guyun, Vast Ocean Immortal School’s Jin Yusheng. There were also two Grand Emperors from the Very High Heavens, one was Dao Emperor Zi Changluo’s loyal subordinate, Ping Lishang, and the other was the Jin Clan’s Jin Yu.

Ping Fan Immortal School was built on the edge of Extreme Glade Sea, a portion of it was even built on Extreme Glade Sea itself. Under the combined attack of many experts, Ping Fan’s herb farm and immortal city had already been destroyed. Countless simple immortals and mortals were killed.

Even so, Ping Fan had not been completely broken through. It was rumoured that when the Very High Heavens first invaded Ping Fan Immortal School, an expert passed by. This expert had driven away the experts from the Very High Heavens.

After this expert sent the men from the Very High Heavens’ away, that expert didn’t stay in Ping Fan for long. It was just that before this expert left, this expert left a defensive array over Ping Fan that was far above Grade 9 immortal arrays. Even the Grand Emperors of the Very High Heavens weren’t able to forcefully break this array apart.

However, the most powerful of defensive arrays will still experience a day of its destruction. After multiple years of attack on the defensive array, Ping Fan had been forced into a corner. One could imagine that this array would eventually be collapsed.

…

Mo Wuji stood outside Ping Fan Immortal School. It was exactly as he heard: Ping Fan’s territory had been sealed. Outside the seals, there was a sign: Ping Fan Immortal School opposes the Dao and disrupts the order of Immortal World. Their Sect Head, Mo Wuji, bullies the weak and behaves arrogantly. By orders of the Very High Heavens, Ping Fan Immortal School will be destroyed, all living things will be killed…

Below this sign, there were also the imprints of several huge sects. The most conspicuous ones were from Great Sword Path, Lightning Path, Vast Ocean Immortal School, Mirage Mountain, and Immortal Universe Sword School. What left Mo Wuji confused was that he didn’t see the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. And if that wasn’t enough, he also didn’t see Lun Cai’s Unfettered Emperor Palace.

Logically, Lun Cai should he the person that was most eager to kill him.

Mo Wuji’s spiritual eye could see through the seals clearly, the outer fringes of Ping Fan Immortal Sect had already been reduced into a wasteland. Chen San said that Ping Fan Immortal School was slightly broken, but at this instant, Mo Wuji could see that it was far from that. In fact, Ping Fan had already been forced into the Extreme Glade Sea itself.

Mo Wuji could also see why Ping Fan was still standing. It was because someone had installed an additional peak grade array around Ping Fan; this array was one that even he couldn’t install. He could only feel some signs of the immortal sealing array from it.

Mo Wuji then saw the cultivators attacking the array. He inhaled deeply. The killing intent in his heart now was far greater than when he was dealing with the Gods Race.

Even Shuai Guo and Da Huang, who were standing by Mo Wuji’s side, could clearly feel Mo Wuji’s killing intent.

Mo Wuji opened his hand and the Half Moon Weighted Halberd appeared in his palm.

He didn’t know how long it had been since he used his Half Moon Immortal Halberd. At this instant, only the Half Moon Weighted Halberd could fully display his killing intent and rage.

"Boom!" His Half Moon Immortal Halberd conjured a huge halberd light. With a flash of the halberd light, it struck right at the core of the seals. The seal formed by the five Grand Emperors were directly turned into dust by this single halberd slash.

"Who dares to attack the seal?" An early stage Immortal Emperor shouted harshly. Before he even revealed himself, a blinding light came shooting towards Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji didn’t even falter. He only took half a step forward and that light directly dissipated. Following which, his Half Moon Weighted Halberd moved lightly. This early stage Immortal Emperor didn’t even have the chance to speak; he was sliced in half and his primordial spirit had shattered.

There were thousands of people encircling Ping Fan Immortal School; the lowest cultivation here was already at the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. Mo Wuji saw seven Immortal Emperors and there were four Grand Emperors among them.

When Mo Wuji killed that early stage Immortal Emperor, all the attackers reacted. They stopped their attacks on the array and stared at Mo Wuji warily.

"This Emperor is the Very High Heavens’s Ping Lishang. Who are you? Why did you destroy my Very High Heavens’ seal? Do you want to be an enemy of the entire Immortal World?" An icy-cold voice sounded.

Mo Wuji didn’t even answer. His Half Moon Weighted Halberd conjured millions of halberd light; these halberd light then transformed into a huge span of desert. No life seemed capable of surviving in this grand desert.

As Grand Desert was forming, three silver rivers came cascading down from the sky. Winding River was majestic and brimming with killing intent.

After Mo Wuji’s sea of consciousness strengthened, his Winding River had become more powerful. If not because Mo Wuji didn’t want anyone to escape, he would have sent five of his Winding River down.

"This person is Mo Wuji. Everyone, attack together…" Lei Guyun shouted harshly. Seeing that Mo Wuji had the galls to attack them, killing intent rushed into his mind.

Mo Wuji wanted to kill him, Lei Guyun. He, Lei Guyun, also wanted to kill Mo Wuji. Thus, the moment he saw Mo Wuji, he instantly pounced towards Mo Wuji.

The first one to respond to Lei Guyun was Vast Ocean Immortal School’s Jin Yusheng.

When Jin Yu saw Mo Wuji, he also eagerly charged over. He followed behind Lei Guyun and Jin Yusheng. He was clearer than anyone else about how terrifying Mo Wuji was. However, he also needed to be close to snatch the stuff on Mo Wuji. Only he knew exactly how many priceless treasures Mo Wuji had.

"Pff! Pff! Pff!" Multiple mists of blood formed. Under Mo Wuji’s halberd light, except the Immortal Emperors and some powerful Immortal Reverents, no one survived.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three silver rivers came cascading down. The Immortal Emperors that were under the river were directly sliced in half.

Mo Wuji didn’t even bother about the cultivators that he had easily squashed. Instead, he welcomed the oncoming Lei Guyun with a finger. No one will escape from this place alive; he will no longer show any mercy.

Under this finger, the sky started to change colour and the clouds started to tremble.

Chapter 861: Exterminate

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

The entire world was beneath this finger. This finger had controlled this entire World of Man.

At this moment, the original Laws began to shatter and dao energy was reorganised

This finger wanted to change the Heaven and Earth within this World of Man; the owner of this finger was going to control all life, death and reincarnation within this World.

"Boom! Kacha!" Lei Guyun had already hurled his lightning hammer; it transformed into a leviathan-like lightning ball which went to welcome this finger.

If not for this finger, the world beneath this hammer would be his, Lei Guyun’s, world; it would be run under his, Lei Guyun’s, Laws. In fact, he already envisioned Mo Wuji being burned into bits of dust by his lightning hammer.

Unfortunately, because of Mo Wuji’s finger, this Heaven and Earth had become the World of Man. All Laws were determined by this finger, and not his lightning hammer. The Laws within the lightning ball shattered and the lightning ball, itself, exploded into millions of arcs of lightning which filled the air.

"Pff!" A hole of blood formed in the middle of Lei Guyun’s forehead. At the same instant, his primordial spirit withered and his life force started to rapidly seep away.

"So strong." Lei Guyun’s eyes started to turn dull. He was not strong enough to defend against Mo Wuji’s finger; thus, he could only die.

Remorse and longing could be seen in his eyes; he knew that his Lightning Sect was screwed. With his ability at the Grand Emperor Stage, he could not even resist a finger of Mo Wuji’s. It would be weird if his Lightning Sect was able to survive.

At this instant he died, he understood one principle: Even the strongest sect could not allow greed to blind its eyes. If not for the Lightning Sect’s Qi Junyi who killed Yuan Yi for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, would all these troubles have befallen them?

He was also wrong. The moment Mo Wuji destroyed the Great Sword Path, he should have immediately pulled his Lightning Sect out. This idea sank into his mind, then it turned into eternal darkness. No one would ever know what that trace of longing in his eyes was for.

If Lei Guyun managed to get a chance to attack Mo Wuji because he was the first to move, then that Jin Yusheng didn’t have a single chance at all.

He didn’t even manage to bring out his magic treasure before the World of Man directly exploded him into a mist of blood. Perhaps he was the only Grand Emperor in the entire Immortal World that died in such a depressing way. He didn’t even expect that Lei Guyun was unable to block Mo Wuji’s finger, leaving him with no chance to resist as well.

Jin Yu was the last among the three and he was also on guard against Mo Wuji. When Lei Guyun was killed, his heart instantly sank. Mo Wuji was far more impressive than he had predicted; the moment Lei Guyun was killed by that finger, he knew that Mo Wuji was no longer someone that his Jin Clan could go against. He frantically retreated. Fortunately for him, he had a Jin Yusheng in front of him.

By the time Jin Yusheng had been reduced into a mist of blood, Jin Yu had managed to bring out a huge war drum. At the same time, he had already retreated to more than 300 meters away.

Still, he didn't slow down. He continued to rapidly flee backwards. At the same time, he shouted loudly, "Sect Head Mo, my Jin Clan is wiling to offer you a compensation for this matter. If you kill me, you would be creating enemies out of my Jin Clan…"

"Boom!" The Seven World Finger's First World Killer, the World of Man, finally crashed against Jin Yu's huge drum.

"Dong! Kacha!" Jin Yu's drum emitted an ear-splitting sound as it was ripped through. Thereafter, it thoroughly exploded into millions of pieces.

Mo Wuji could feel that the World of Man within this finger had finally ended. He heaved a sigh of relief as he retrieved a talisman.

Before he could even use that talisman to escape, he felt the entire Heaven and Earth overturning. In this overturned Heaven and Earth, he wasn't even comparable to an ant.

Within this overturned Heaven and Earth, he saw a world. This was a world created by a finger. Within this world, all objects were destroyed.

He, Jin Yu, wasn't lucky; he had become one of the members of this world.

"This finger actually has a Second World Killer. So strong…" After Jin Yu muttered those words, he was turned into juice by the Second World Killer.

The Second World Killer didn't end just because of that. After killing Jin Yu, it's horrifying killing intent continued to sweep outwards. If was like a surging wave of knives.

All cultivators struck by this wave of knives were sliced apart. No one was spared.

It was just one finger. After that finger, the Heaven and Earth finally calmed down.

If there was still any noise, it would be from Mo Wuji's Grand Desert halberd light. Anyone that was mired in the Grand Desert was soon shredded into nothingness by the halberd light.

The only remaining Grand Emperor, Ping Lishang, stared at Mo Wuji in a daze. He had never met someone as powerful as Mo Wuji before. He wasn’t an inexperienced person that had been living in a well. He, Ping Lishang, had even stayed in the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos for a long period of time. Which experts has he not seen before? However, he clearly never met any expert that was as powerful as Mo Wuji.

He was sure that Zi Changluo wasn’t as powerful as Mo Wuji. Not only that, when compared to Mo Wuji, Zi Changluo wasn’t only off by one or two points. Their difference could be comparable to the difference between the Heaven and the Earth.

"Sect Head Mo, there must be some misunderstanding. It should be Jin Yu, that b*stard, that incited the Dao Emperor’s anger…" How could Ping Lishang dare to battle with Mo Wuji?

Seeing that even Grand Emperor Ping Lishang didn’t dare to attack, the surviving thousand of cultivators didn’t even dare to make a single move. All of them stared at Mo Wuji in aghast; they had all completely forgotten that they were calling for Mo Wuji’s death not long ago.

Mo Wuji didn’t speak. Instead, he closed his eyes. The remaining thousand of survivors appeared within his mind.

These people destroyed his home; they had killed his family and his friends. To him, there was no misunderstanding.

Just because the wolf pack stopped attacking, it didn’t mean that he would do the same. At this moment, his whirlpool domain burst forth explosively. In an instant, he enveloped everyone within his domain.

"He wants to exterminate all of us. We need to hurry and attack." When Ping Lishang saw Mo Wuji’s actions, he knew that Mo Wuji didn’t have the intentions of sparing them.

However, it was all too late. When fighting against an expert stronger than you, you would have to fight with more than 100% of your power. Mo Wuji’s power was already far stronger than all of them, but now, these people even let Mo Wuji take the initiative.

Once again, his Grand Desert swept outwards; the halberd light within the Grand Desert was multiple times stronger than before. At this time, Mo Wuji had already killed three Grand Emperors. The only Grand Emperor left was Ping Lishang and the remaining Immortal Emperors were only at the early stage. There was no need for him to hold back any longer.

Within the Grand Desert, there was no Winding River. Instead, boundless lightning began to descend from the sky.

Halberd light swept across the ground while lightning bolts danced around the sky. Mournful cries for mercy could be heard. When these people were killing the disciples of Ping Fan, they only felt glee and excitement. When it was their turn to be killed, they only felt endless fear.

At this moment, the wastelands of Ping Fan Immortal School had become an Asura Hell. With Mo Wuji’s savage attacks, no one was spared.

When the final lightning bolt disappeared and the Grand Desert dispersed, this entire wasteland had turned into a charred mess of corpses. The only one remaining was Ping Lishang.

Ping Lishang didn’t die. He knew that it wasn’t because Mo Wuji couldn’t kill him, but because Mo Wuji hadn’t killed him.

Just now, he had tried umpteen times to break out of Mo Wuji’s whirlpool domain and Grand Desert, but all his efforts were in vain.

Perhaps if they had initially prepared an array when they first saw Mo Wuji, some of them might have been able to flee. However, when they faced Mo Wuji as a scattered bunch of crows, they were simply extending their necks in preparation for an execution.

"Pff!" A halberd light directly shot through Ping Lishang’s Mind Palace. As it destroyed his sea of consciousness, it also prevented him from being able to commit suicide.

"Say it then. Who was the one who wanted to destroy my Ping Fan Immortal School? If you are straightforward, I will also give you a straightforward death. But if dare to take your time, then you would come to regret it." Mo Wuji stared at Ping Lishang calmly.

Ping Lishang didn’t even utter any words of resistance. Similarly, he said calmly, "The Jin Clan knows that you have peerless treasures on you. At the same time, Dao Emperor Zi Changluo believes that you should not have offended the Gods Race and implicated the Very High Heavens."

Mo Wuji knew that Ping Lishang wasn’t bluffing. He opened his hand and Ping Lishang was directly killed. Sweeping across the area, thousands of storage rings were swept away. Thereafter, he gathered those corpses into a small mountain. Throwing a ball of flames at them, these corpses burned into nothingness.

Even though such a huge battle had occurred, there wasn’t a stir within Ping Fan Immortal School. Clearly, Ping Fan was shrouded by a thin veil of fog as they were forced into the Extreme Glade Sea.

Mo Wuji had spent some time in the immortal sealing area before. He could tell that this defensive array has the marks of the immortal sealing array. It was just that the person who installed this array had limited materials, which was why the array wasn’t perfect.

Even so, Mo Wuji was clear that he wasn’t able to break through this array in a short period of time. This was even in account of the fact that he had stayed in the immortal sealing array and had some understandings towards it. Otherwise, he might not be able to break through it even if he spent years. Mo Wuji also understood why he didn’t receive any responses to his messages; it was due to this array.

"Big Brother, you are far too strong. I am sure that the strongest person in the Immortal World of my Dragon Race is also no match for you." Yan Li was the first to run over, his voice was filled with admiration.

Mo Qingche also came over. The time that she spent in the Immortal World with her grandfather felt like centuries. She didn’t know that a situation where the Very High Heavens and huge sect gang up against a sect like Ping Fan might not happen even after a million years. However, this incident had influenced her deeply. She did not know the reason behind this incident. She only knew that she had to become strong; she had to become much stronger. Otherwise, her time in the Immortal World might not even be as long as it would have been on Earth.

Mo Wuji retrieved a jade letter and passed it to Yan Li, "Yan Li, these are the original plans I used to develop Ping Fan previously. Now, this place has already been turned into a wasteland. Help me to rebuild the sect."

"Grandpa, I can also help," Mo Qingche hurriedly said.

Mo Wuji nodded, "You can follow Yan Li to find people to rebuild it. The payment matters can be left to Da Huang."

As he was speaking, Mo Wuji passed a storage ring to Da Huang, "Da Huang, the few of you help to rebuild the sect. I want to open this array. Opening this array will not be a matter of one or two days, even for me."

Even though Mo Wuji eagerly wanted to exterminate Lightning Sect and Vast Ocean Immortal School, he still resisted his intentions. Ping Fan had been forced into a corner and no news came from within. Mo Wuji was worried; he needed to open this array before doing anything else.

Chapter 862: Broken Soul Man

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Mo Wuji was originally a Grade 9 Immortal Array Master. After refining the first layer of the Sage Dao Talisman, his understanding towards arrays only got more profound.

The defensive array around Ping Fan immortal School was based on Ji Li’s understanding towards the Gods Tower’s immortal sealing array. What kind of people were sealed in the immortal sealing array? There’s no need to talk about Immortal Emperors, even Dao Emperors were considered ants within the immortal sealing area.

Mo Wuji considered himself as a person who had spent time within the immortal sealing array. He believed that he would be able to break through this array in a short period of time.

But just when Mo Wuji truly got into the intricacies within this array, he finally knew what he was facing. Even though Ji Li’s methods were only an imperfect imitation of the original immortal sealing array, Mo Wuji still felt that he was facing a sea of smoke.

No wonder why these people spent years but they were still unable to break through this array.

Mo Wuji soon went deep into breaking this array. In just a short time, a thin layer of mist formed around him. Within this mist, array runes were flowing incessantly. If a person who liked arrays was by Mo Wuji’s side now, he would definitely learn a lot.

As Mo Wuji was trying to break through Ping Fan Immortal School’s defensive array, Yan Li and co. were rebuilding Ping Fan according to the original plans.

In reality, Yan Li didn’t even need to go off searching for help. Not only after Mo Wuji returned to Ping Fan, countless immortals came over. Most of these people came from beyond Ding Po Immortal City. They all heard of Mo Wuji’s revelations of the misdeeds of the Very High Heavens.

Moreover, the resources that Mo Wuji gave Da Huang were as plentiful as the hair on a cow. Because of that, the reconstruction of Ping Fan was visible to the naked eye.

Not only that, when Chen San arrived, Chen San arranged for the expansion of Ping Fan.

The huge herb farm was rebuilt and a wide blue jade path extended into the distance. Besides this, an entire immortal city was built.

As more people surged to Ping Fan Immortal School to take part in the reconstruction, more news was spread out. Almost everyone in the seven Immortal Domains knew of the Very High Heavens’ misdeeds.

The news of Mo Wuji killing close to 20 Immortal Emperors, including four Grand Emperors, as well as the thousands of cultivators that were involved in the attack on Ping Fan Immortal School was also spread.

In a single night, Lightning Sect suddenly disappeared. No one knew where they went. Lightning Sect wasn’t the only one; Vast Ocean Immortal School also disappeared. As for sects like Mirage Mountain and Empty Mirror Immortal Dao, they had vanished even before the Lightning Sect.

Grand Emperor Yi Minghu also suddenly disappeared. Great Sword Path, which was in the process of reconstruction, was completely abandoned.

…

Within the Ping Fan Immortal School, the only things left displayed at the entrance of the Discussion Hall were the two huge stone tablets engraved by Mo Wuji. One of the stone tablets wrote ‘Ping Fan’ while the other wrote: One’s Dao Can Differ, But All Men Are Equal.

These were brought in by Ping Fan Immortal School’s substitute Sect Head Su Zi’An when they retreated.

In Su Zi’An’s eyes, Ping Fan Immortal School was established by Mo Wuji. These two stone tablets were left behind by Sect Head Mo. Ping Fan Immortal School could be destroyed, but as long as these two stone tablets remained, there would be a day when Ping Fan would be rebuilt.

Within the Discussion Hall, Su Zi’An had a haggard expression on his face. Those years ago, Ping Fan Immortal School was huge and powerful. But now, only 20 over people remained and were in this Discussion Hall.

Before the innermost defensive array of Ping Fan Immortal School could be activated, they suffered with a disastrous number of casualties. Among the Immortal Emperors that established Ping Fan with Mo Wuji, Wei Zidao had suffered heavy injuries while Nie Chongan had died in the battle. Besides them, Cha Rui and Lu Ming had also been killed.

Su Zi’An looked at the increasingly gloomy hall and said solemnly, "Those years ago, Sect Head Mo established Ping Fan Immortal School so that we could have a safe and stable place to cultivate. Who can blame reality for being so cruel? Some people do not allow for such a safe place to exist in the Immortal World. If Senior Ji Li did not help us install this peerless array those years ago, protecting the core of our Ping Fan Immortal School, we would have perished a long time ago.

Our comrades who fought together with us those years ago are now either dead or injured. Yesterday night, I went to take a look at the array core that Senior Ji Li left behind. Out of the 108 array flags, only 18 remain. I believe, in half a year or even less than that, our Ping Fan Immortal School’s final layer of arrays would be completely broken…"

The other people in the Discussion Hall all knew what Su Zi’An was saying. If all 108 array flags that Senior Ji Li left behind were destroyed, it would mean that their final place of sanctuary would soon be torn apart.

"Now, I want to hear everyone’s opinions." Seeing the silence in the Discussion Hall, Su Zi’An could only continue.

Wei Zidao had suffered heavy injuries which he had yet to recover from. Even so, he had come to the Discussion Hall. In Ping Fan Immortal School, Su Zi’An was the substitute sect head appointed by Mo Wuji. On the other hand, Wei Zidao was a Grand Emperor and was the most powerful person in Ping Fan. Thus, his opinions were also extremely important.

When they saw that no one came forward to speak, both Wei Zidao and Su Zi’An knew that the people here all knew that their chances of survival were bleak. Wei Zidao suddenly shouted loudly, "Immortal Friends, when everyone was trapped in Sword Prison, none of us thought that we could escape. Even I, Wei Zidao, was filled with despair,

But, Sect Head Mo went to Sword Prison out of his own initiative. In fact, I believe that Sect Head Mo is the first person to do that. When he did, not only did he save all of us, he even destroyed the owners of Sword Prison, the Great Sword Path. I’m not the only one here that escaped from Sword Prison; most of us were from Sword Prison. Everyone, tell me. Is the despair that we’re feeling today comparable to the despair we felt in Sword Prison?"

"No!" Including Su Zi’An, ten over people in the Discussion Hall responded loudly. Revered Protector Wei was right. Back then, they were even able to escape from Sword Prison alive. Now, they had yet to lose all hope. How could this compare?

Waiting for the crowd to calm down, Su Zi’An said with greater solemnity, "Perhaps we don’t have a choice. If all our array flags shatter, then we have to fight the invaders whose powers far exceed us and face their massacre. I remember that the Sect Head said this once before: Do not let your fate be controlled in the hands of others. Thus, I would like to proclaim right now. We will not wait for all the array flags to shatter. We will charge out and fight. Even if we only kill one person, it would not be for waste."

Some people immediately stood up and expressed their agreement. At the same time, some remained silent. If offered a choice between life and death, no one would be willing to pick death. If they opened the array now, they would be sending themselves to death.

Su Zi’An slowed down his words, "I know that everyone still hopes for a miracle. In reality, I am sure that by now, only 17 array flags remain."

"I agree with Senior Uncle Su’s words. We will fight our way out," Fu Jingfeng stood up and said loudly.

With the wealth of cultivation resources in Ping Fan Immortal School, Fu Jingfeng had already opened a total of 103 meridians and was at the True Lake Stage.

To be honest, the True Lake Stage might be of influence in the cultivation world. However, in the Immortal World, this cultivation wasn’t even comparable to ants.

Su Zi’An waved his hand towards Fu Jingfeng and said, "It’s the exact opposite for you. You need to take the two stone tablets and leave. I hope that the revered words left behind by the Sect Head would be able to protect you. You are the disciple of the Sect Head. If the Sect Head doesn’t return, you must be the one to rebuild Ping Fan Immortal School."

"Senior Uncle, I rather die in battle than to leave by myself," Fu Jingfeng didn’t hesitate to say.

Just as Su Zi’An was able to speak, Dou Hualong hurriedly rushed over. He had a look of delight on his face as he said, "Senior Uncle Su, there are still 18 array flags and they are no longer flashing."

Hearing these words, not only Su Zi’An stood up in surprise, everyone else also stood up. Since the attack on Ping Fan Immortal School’s final layer of arrays, the array flags had never stopped flashing. Now that the array flags had stopped flashing, it meant that no one was attacking them.

"Could the Sect Head have returned?" Su Zi’An said emotionally.

Dou Hualong promptly replied, "It must definitely be Big Brother. Only Big Brother’s return would stop those pricks from attacking our Ping Fan Immortal School."

"Right, Master must have returned." Fu Jingfeng was also incomparably excited.

He had deep feelings for Mo Wuji. In his life, he only had three people he was close with: his Master Mo Wuji, his current Senior Aunt Lian Yingxian, and his Grandpa Yu Cheng.

His Grandpa Yu Cheng had left Extreme Glade Sea while his Senior Aunt Lian Yingxian left Ping Fan Immortal School together with Han Qingru. Now, the only person left was Mo Wuji. Naturally, he was extremely happy with Mo Wuji’s return.

…

Very High Heavens.

Compared to the Immortal World, the Laws of the Heaven and Earth here were far more complete. Not only that, the immortal spiritual energy here was not something the Immortal World could hope to compete with.

If Mo Wuji came to the Very High Heavens, he would really think that this was the Southern Heavenly Gate and the Emperor’s Palace [1]. The Very High Heavens’ Dao Emperor Palace was built in a place surrounded by spiritual clouds. Broad steps of white jade extended up towards the palace. By the sides of the staircase, there were immortals holding enforcer weapons.

Zi Changluo wore a crown on his head. At this moment, he had an overcast expression as he sat at the highest point of the Dao Emperor Hall. At the two sides of the hall, were also two rows of immortals. Anyone that could stand in this hall was either an Immortal Emperor or exceptional characters.

Because of Zi Changluo’s expression, the atmosphere in the hall was tense and heavy.

"Dao Emperor, Ping Lishang’s soul tablet has shattered. It’s possible that he might have met that expert that once stayed in the Immortal World. According to the words of that person from the Jin Clan, that expert should be from above." Feeling the tense atmosphere, a yellow-bearded man beside Zi Changluo said softly.

Zi Changluo had two loyal followers. One was Ping Lishang, while the other was this yellow-bearded man, Gongshu Shipan. Those years ago, Gongshu Xiang, the person who chased Yan Yuerong out of the Human Race was this Gongshu Shipan’s nephew.

Zi Changluo waved his hand, "No, that expert has already left the Immortal World. There’s no doubt about that. I’m definitely right about this. Lishang’s death should be due to another reason…"

After a short pause, Zi Changluo suddenly stood up. His voice was lined with slight madness as he cried, "Men, go to the Soul Seal Prison. Bring the Broken Soul Man, Zhu Yin, over. No, Shipan, you personally bring Zhu Yin over."

[1] These are references to the Heavenly Court of the Jade Emperor of Chinese Mythology.

Chapter 863: Vicious Person

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Few in Very High Heavens know of the Broken Soul Man, Zhu Yin. However, as Zi Changluo’s right-hand men, Gongshu Shipan and Ping Lishang both knew of Zhu Yin all too well.

When this person first came to the Immortal World, not only did he have an extremely rapid cultivation pace, he also had a vicious character. If anyone dared to offend him, they practically lost their chances in life.

The more absurd thing was that this person killed cultivators above his level as easily as breathing. When he was merely a Grand Yi Immortal, he was able to kill a Grand Luo Immortal. When he was a Grand Luo Immortal, he could easily slaughter Immortal Kings.

Besides some extreme geniuses, who in the Immortal World could kill Immortal Kings while in the Grand Luo Immortal Stage? Even if a person did achieve that, it would be a rare incident and he would have to fight all-out. However, Zhu Yin killed Immortal Kings as commonly as one would have a home-cooked meal. Even if he was in an immortal city drinking tea, if an Immortal King said anything that offended him, he would not show any mercy.

In less than a million years, Zhu Yin managed to reach the Grand Emperor Stage. In the Immortal World, unless one had some extremely fortuitous encounter, the ones that could reach the Immortal Emperor Stage within a million years were all geniuses among talents.

Indeed, there were some talents like that. This was especially so for cultivators that ascended from lower worlds; their talents were extremely absurd. These people could only depend on themselves for everything, but their cultivation speeds were somehow faster.

However, different Immortal Emperors have completely different levels of power.

Zhu Yin was one such person with preposterously high levels of power. After he advanced to the Grand Emperor Stage, he single-handedly destroyed a top-class sect of the Immortal World. That sect was one with seven to eight Immortal Emperors, and among which were three Grand Emperors. These seven to eight people all surrounded Zhu Yin who was by himself. However, they were still annihilated; Zhu Yin only suffered some injuries.

The more terrifying thing was Zhu Yin’s cultivation technique. Every time he kills his opponent, his power would rise by a bit.

Zhu Yin originally wanted to establish a new sect over the sect that he exterminated. In fact, many people already knew of the name of his new sect; it was called the Broken Soul Dao Sect. Zhu Yin’s title, the Broken Soul Man, was also given during this time.

As Zhu Yin was building his sect, he accidentally found the passage to the Very High Heavens. He immediately abandoned his intentions of building a sect in the Immortal World; he wanted to build his sect in the Very High Heavens.

In reality, Zi Changluo had been alerted to Zhu Yin’s existence a long time ago. Zi Changluo was the one who allowed Zhu Yin to discover the passage towards the Very High Heavens. That was when he started to act against Zhu Yin.

Zhu Yin was inherently a scheming person; he actually figured out that Zi Changluo might have been luring him over. Even so, Zhu Yin did not hesitate to go towards the Very High Heavens. He had immense confidence in his own abilities.

However, despite his self-confidence, he didn’t expect that Zi Changluo would possess an array disc for an array which exceeded Grade 9 immortal arrays. Not only that, he didn’t think that Zi Changluo would invite 17 Grand Emperors to deal with him alone. Moreover, Zi Changluo himself was a Dao Emperor that surpassed Grand Emperors.

During that campaign, Zhu Yin killed eight Grand Emperors and injured four. Ultimately, Zhu Yin himself was heavily injured.

Zi Changluo remembered that Zhu Yin cultivated the Broken Dao Technique, which was why he wasn’t willing to kill Zhu Yin, Instead, he imprisoned Zhu Yin in the Soul Seal Prison. Before imprisoning Zhu Yin, Zi Changluo refined Zhu Yin’s mind and vital blood. As long as Zi Changluo wanted it, he could kill Zhu Yin at any time he wanted.

After years of continuous interrogation, Zi Changluo finally came to understand part of Zhu Yin’s cultivation technique. Indeed, Zhu Yin was cultivating a malicious cultivation technique. This technique allowed one to devour the other party’s soul to strengthen one’s sea of consciousness. The most shocking part was that this technique actually didn’t have any side-effects.

A person’s strength was largely determined his sea of consciousness. Zhu Yin’s sea of consciousness was abnormally strong, which was why he was much stronger than those in the same stage.

Zi Changluo’s own cultivation technique had already taken form. He wanted to research on how he could integrate this Broken Dao Technique into his own cultivation technique, so he didn’t think of Zhu Yin for a long time. This time, the Very High Heavens met with a serious problem in the Immortal World; Ping Lishang wasn’t the only person that died. Clearly, his opponent was no weaker than him. This was why he was reminded of Zhu Yin.

Before Gongshu Shipan returned, a flying messenger sword landed in Zi Changluo’s hands. Zi Changluo’s face instantly turned ugly. He didn’t think that this problem was caused by Mo Wujil. Not only did Mo Wuji return, he even brought people with him to the Immortal World.

…

Gongshu Shipan soon brought a wretched looking man to the Dao Emperor Hall. If one didn't use spiritual will go probe, one would only see a long-haired monster that released a peculiar smell and aura.

If one did use spiritual will to observe this man, you'll discover that the eyes veiled by his hair looked empty; this man seemed completely numb.

"Zhu Yin, you committed a grave crime. Even if you were killed a million times, it still wouldn't be enough to atone for your actions. But now, I'm giving you a chance at redemption," Zi Changluo harrumphed harshly when he saw this monster.

Clearly, this wretched looking freak was Zhu Yin.

Zhu Yin seemed as though he hadn't heard Zi Changluo's words; his two eyes remained blank and empty.

Zi Changluo, however, revealed an expression of contentment. Suddenly, he patted his forehead and a talisman shot towards Zhu Yin's forehead. Thereafter, he brought out a crystal ball and passed it to Zhu Yin, "This man is Mo Wuji. He is at a place called Ping Fan Immortal School. You will immediately go to him and kill him. If you see anyone around him, you will kill them. All living things in Ping Fan Immortal School will be killed."

"Kill, kill…" Zhu Yin repeatedly muttered that word.

"That's right, kill them all." Zi Changluo acknowledged solemnly.

His voice seemed to penetrate deep into Zhu Yin's mind. After hearing these words, Zhu Yin instantly burst forth will killing intent. He lifted his head and his eyes were revealed; they were filled with viciousness. It seemed as though everything in front of him should be killed.

Zi Changluo heaved a sigh of relief, then he said to Gongshu Shipan, "Shipan, you and Hu Chisheng will bring 10 experts of the Very High Heavens with this Zhu Yin. At the same time, bring an army of immortals to raze Ping Fan Immortal School to the ground. Kill that Mo Wuji on sight. Ai, this injury of mine. It's truly not the right time."

"Yes," Gongshu Shipan bowed and said.

At the same time, a man with a blurred face walked out from the row on Zi Changluo's right. People of the Very High Heavens know of him as Hu Chisheng, but no one knew of his origins. This was because he never made any friends.

Gongshu Shipan then picked another seven people in the hall. Thereafter, he brought these people and left with Zhu Yin.

Zi Changluo stood up. He looked at Gongshu Shipan's gradually fading silhouette with a solemn expression. His eyes were filled with satisfaction; even though he was injured, there were still people in the Very High Heavens that were willing to step forward.

Actually, no one knew that his injury had already recovered. Logically, facing someone as powerful as Mo Wuji, he should be the one that led the way. However, since the very start, Zi Changluo had never had any intentions of personally going. Ever since he heard that Mo Wuji had killed the Gods Race's Dao Emperor Lun Pa those years ago, he never wanted to face Mo Wuji while he was only at the Dao Emperor Stage.

At the same time, no one knew that after Zhu Yin left the Dao Emperor Hall, a hint of bone-chilling coldness flashed across his vicious eyes.

Even if Zi Changluo was ten thousand times smarter, he might not have thought that Zhu Yin allowed himself to fall into Zi Changluo’s trap. Zhu Yin had intended for himself to be captured.

In terms of viciousness in cultivation, there was probably no second person in the entire world that could compare with this Zhu Yin. Not only was Zhu Yin vicious to others, he was also vicious to himself.

In reality, he had reached the Grand Emperor Stage a long time ago. Because he was limited by his environment and his cultivation resources, his cultivation stagnated.

After exploring the entire Immortal World, he came to know of a place called Soul Seal Prison. He knew a secret that even Zi Changluo didn't know about: there was an extremely pure soul pool beneath Soul Seal Prison. This place was extremely important to his own Grand Dao. If he didn't enter Soul Seal Prison, he wouldn't be able to take another step forward in his cultivation.

This was just like how Mo Wuji had to truly return to the life of a mortal if he wanted to get past the Grand Emperor Stage. This was because Mo Wuji cultivated the Mortal Dao and he was the progenitor of the Mortal Dao.

Zhu Yin cultivated the Broken Dao. Similarly, he was also the progenitor of the Broken Dao. In his Broken Dao, he absorbed other cultivators’ soul for his cultivation. He borrowed the souls and primordial spirits of others to strengthen his own. It was an extremely evil cultivation technique. Of course, in Zhu Yin's eyes, there was no evil or just in cultivation techniques; there was only the strong and the weak.

When this cultivation technique was cultivated to the peak, his soul and sea of consciousness faced the restraints of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth; it was extremely hard for him to take another step further.

After many years of stumbling around, Zhu Yin finally understood the principle within. If he would like to break through these shackles, he would need grind away the alien dao present within his soul and sea of consciousness.

Even though Zhu Yin’s talent was exceedingly high and his Broken Dao was extremely impressive, his sea of consciousness could not remain pure after devouring that many souls and the dao within them.

The method that Zhu Yin deduced to solve this problem was to use the Very High Heavens’ Soul Seal Prison. In Soul Seal Prison, his soul would be sealed. His soul would then he tortured, depleted, tempered, and finally, perfected.

Once a person enters a place like Soul Seal Prison, he would basically lose all hopes of life. If it was anyone else, he wouldn't willingly send himself to Soul Seal Prison.

However, Zhu Yin did just that. Not only that, he did it without Zi Changluo noticing his intentions.

One must know that if Zi Changluo had even half an intention of killing him, then he, Zhu Yin, would undoubtedly die. After so many years of torture, he continued to persist so that his cultivation technique could be perfected. Just as he wanted to leave Soul Seal Prison, Zi Changluo provided him with the opportunity.

When Zi Changluo brought him out of Soul Seal Prison, it broke the seals that the Soul Seal Prison had on him. The moment he stepped out Soul Seal Prison, he knew that his life and death was once again back within his control.

The reason why he still followed Gongshu Shipan to Ping Fan Immortal School wasn't because he wanted to help Zi Changluo deal with Mo Wuji. Instead, it was truly because he wanted to have a battle with that Mo Wuji.

He, Zhu Yin, really wanted to know exactly how strong was that expert? How strong was he that even Zi Changluo was afraid? At the same time, Zhu Yin wanted to know exactly how strong had he gotten after his Broken Dao achieved a major success?

Also, he wanted to treat Mo Wuji as his first meal after perfecting his cultivation technique. He only hoped that this meal wasn’t a scanty one.

Of course, he didn't know that after he ascended to the Immortal World, his descendant established a Reincarnation Dao Sect in Zhen Xing. Thereafter, the Reincarnation Dao Sect was destroyed by Tian Ji Sect. Zhu Qu, another one of his descendants, then established the Broken Sect, but it was also destroyed by Mo Wuji. If he knew all this, he wouldn't simply be going towards Mo Wuji with a meal in mind.

Chapter 864: The Horrifying Zhu Yin

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

In less than a month, Mo Wuji had finally made contact with the array runes of the defensive array. These array runes and methods were definitely superior to Grade 9 immortal arrays, but they were not insanely absurd; they were suitable for Mo Wuji’s current level of the Array Dao.

As Mo Wuji researched into these array runes, his standard of the Array Dao continued to rise rapidly. Unknowingly, his Array Dao standards had already surpassed Grade 9 and had stepped into a newer level.

This also caused Mo Wuji to know that he had previously overestimated the time he would take to open this array. This was because he didn’t add his rising Array Dao standards into the calculation.

Just as Mo Wuji was about to open the next layer of array foundations, he actually felt this array releasing a slight cracking sound.

This definitely wasn’t the sound of the array foundations opening. Instead, it was because this array had been opened from within; the people that were trapped within the array wanted to come out. At this point, Mo Wuji stopped studying the array. His heart was filled with emotions.

In his mind, the first person to come out would be Han Qingru. Then, he suddenly recalled the words that Han Qingru said to him while they were in Sword Prison.

"Shua!" At this moment, a fire-red flying sword landed in Mo Wuji’s hands. When Mo Wuji saw the message in the flying sword, his face sunk and killing intent began to revolve around him.

"Sect Head, it’s really you!" Su Zi’An cried out in pleasant surprise.

"Master…"

"Big Brother…"

Su Zi’An, Fu Jingfeng and Dou Hualong all ran towards Mo Wuji emotionally.

Mo Wuji then saw the injured Wei Zidao, as well as Jian Mingcheng. At the same time, he noticed that there many people that were not present; Nie Chongan, Cha Rui, and Lu Ming all weren’t there.

"Sect Head, I am to blame. Venerable Lord Nie, Deacon Cha, Lu Ming and the rest all perished in the huge battle…" When Su Zi’An saw Mo Wuji’s glee turn into confusion, he knew that the Sect Head wanted to know why so many were missing.

"Then what about Qingru and Lian Yingxian?" Just as Mo Wuji asked this question, another flying sword flew over.

"Han Qingru and Lian Yingxian left the sect a few years ago to temper themselves. They have yet to return," Su Zi’An replied promptly.

Mo Wuji’s spiritual will had already detected the large numbers of flying ships charging towards Ping Fan Immortal School. He retrieved a jade vase of pills and threw it towards Wei Zidao, "The Very High Heavens’ army is here. I will go take a look."

…

"Sect Head Mo, Zi Changluo has personally taken action." Chen San said solemnly when he saw Mo Wuji come out. However, he wasn’t all too worried; he knew that with Mo Wuji’s abilities, Mo Wuji definitely had no need to fear Zi Changluo. However, he was worried about the Very High Heavens’ capabilities. There were far too many experts in the Very High Heavens; if they managed to surround this place, Mo Wuji, alone, wouldn’t be able to do anything.

"It’s not Zi Changluo, but Gongshu Shipan." The one speaking was an early stage Immortal Emperor that Mo Wuji didn’t recognise.

Mo Wuji nodded towards the two of them. Thereafter, he brought out a stack of array flags and threw them out. Soon, Ping Fan Immortal School, which was under reconstruction, was now covered in a faint veil of mist.

This wasn’t the first time Mo Wuji was encircled and attacked. At his level, what was the use of superior numbers? He was only worried that Ping Fan Immortal School, which was still in the process of reconstruction, would be damaged again by the battle.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A flying ship fearlessly landed on the ground. Because they intentionally didn’t control the landing, every time a ship landed, it would form a huge hole in the ground, sweeping up large patches of dust.

More than ten thousand immortals from the Very High Heavens’ disembarked from the ships. They soon surrounded the fringes of Ping Fan Immortal School.

Compared to the organised army, the randomly ordered people on Mo Wuji’s side was a perfect definition of a messy crowd.

"Zi Changluo really didn’t come. The person that came is Grand Emperor Gongshu Shipan, as well as Grand Emperor Cai De, Yong Yutang, Si Heyi… Wait, that person is…"

Just as Chen San was introducing the invaders to Mo Wuji, he stopped abruptly. His voice even started to tremble.

"That’s Zhu Yin, that’s actually Zhu Yin…" The early-stage Immortal Emperor also recognised the person next to Gongshu Shipan; his voice also became filled with fear.

"Who is Zhu Yin?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. He turned towards that emaciated man with messy hair; Chen San and this early stage Immortal Emperor seemed to be afraid of this person.

Before this early stage Immortal Emperor could reply, Gongshu Shipan had already walked to the front of Mo Wuji and he said coldly, "You don’t need to know much about Zhu Yin. You only need to know that he is the person that will kill you… Zhu Yin, kill this man…"

Just as Gongshu Shipan finished his words, Mo Wuji sensed a terrifying burst of killing intent. However, Mo Wuji didn’t make a move; he could sense that this killing intent wasn’t aimed towards him.

"Zhu Yin, you…" Gongshu Shipan only managed to say these three words when he heard his bones shattering and his sea of consciousness collapsing.

"Remember, no one can order me. You simply took a step towards death before Zi Changluo. Even though your soul is just ordinary, I will be keeping it." These words were the last words that Gongshu Shipan would hear in his entire life.

Mo Wuji’s eyes turned serious. Gongshu Shipan was no weaker than Lei Guyun and Jin Yusheng. However, this expert’s neck was actually easily broken by this emaciated man and his soul had also been devoured.

Others might not be able to see this emaciated man eat Gongshu Shipan’s soul, but he, Mo Wuji, could see it very clearly. Mo Wuji was extremely clear that this fella was no weaker than him. Zhu Yin’s dao aura was complete and his aura was majestic. This person definitely wasn’t an ordinary Grand Emperor or Dao Emperor.

"He is the Broken Soul Man, Zhu Yin." Chen San caught his breath and muttered.

Broken Soul Man Zhu Yin? Who is this person? He had never heard of such a person before.

"It’s said that this person is the progenitor of the Broken Dao. He massacred countless lives in the Immortal World and he exterminated no less than 30 sects. The number of experts that died by his hands is more than one could count. Thereafter, he discovered the passage towards the Very High Heavens and he went to challenge Zi Changluo. Thereafter, he was never seen again. Everyone thought that he was dead. No one would have thought that he had actually changed sides…"

Chen San didn’t continue any further. He originally wanted to say that the Broken Soul Man Zhu Yin had changed sides and joined Zi Changluo. However, Gongshu Shipan was the right-hand man of Zi Changluo, and Zhu Yin had just killed Gongshu Shipan. No matter how he looked at it, it didn’t seem as though Zhu Yin had turned to Zi Changluo’s side.

The other Grand Emperors that came with Gongshu Shipan all subconsciously took a few steps back. Zhu Yin had actually killed Gongshu Shipan.

"You are Mo Wuji? Let me have a taste of your soul and primordial spirit. Don’t leave me disappointed." Zhu Yin bore his deathly pale teeth and stared at Mo Wuji.

He didn’t guess wrong, nor did he see wrong. Mo Wuji, who Zi Changluo sent him over to deal with, was definitely not a simple person. He was not a person that someone like Gongshu Shipan could hope to compare with. Even if Mo Wuji’s aura was any more ordinary, he, Zhu Yin, would not disregard him because of this ordinariness.

Mo Wuji turned to Chen San and co. and said, "You guys leave immediately."

"Yes." Chen San and co. all knew that against a person like Zhu Yin, they wouldn’t even be able to be of help. If they stayed here, they would only become the souls that Zhu Yin could use to replenish his strength.

After Chen San and co. retreated, Mo Wuji turned to Zhu Yin and said, "These people that you brought over are too annoying. It would influence the battle between me and you, so I want to get rid of this trash."

Zhu Yin chuckled loudly, "This is simple…"

He opened his hand wide and a huge imprint formed in the sky. Below this imprint, a whole new world of Laws seemed to have formed.

The immortal army that Gongshu Shipan brought over was basically filled with experts that were in the Grand Luo Immortal Stage and above. However, the moment Zhu Yin’s imprint Laws formed above them, none of them was able to escape.

Thereafter, they could only see as mists of blood began to explode below this imprint. Mo Wuji could see loads of primordial spirits and souls being devoured by Zhu Yin. He could feel his skull turning numb. No wonder why Chen San and co. were so afraid of Zhu Yin; this fella wasn’t even a human.

When those other Grand Emperors saw this, they frantically tried to break out of Zhu Yin’s world.

Zhu Yin snickered, "You are in the world of my, Zhu Yin’s, Laws. You still think you can escape?"

As he was speaking, Zhu Yin pointed his finger towards them. The moment his finger pointed at a person, that person would explode into a mist of blood. These Grand Emperors didn’t even have any chance to resist; they were killed by Zhu Yin’s finger sacred art.

Mo Wuji’s heart turned cold. He knew that Zhu Yin’s finger attack was far from comparable to his Seven World Finger. However, he also knew that his Seven World Finger couldn’t kill that many Grand Emperors as easily as Zhu Yin did.

The only explanation was that his abilities were far from Zhu Yin.

The moment he thought of this, Zhu Yin suddenly seemed to look more terrifying.

"How impressive. No wonder why this person still dared to charge towards the Very High Heavens even though he knew that Zi Changluo had a trap laid for him." Chen San saw Zhu Yin’s methods and exhaled a breath of cold air.

Even though Chen San spoke softly, Mo Wuji was still able to hear him.

"Zhu Yin, the Dao Emperor saw that it had been hard for you to reach your cultivation level, which was why he didn’t kill you. I didn’t think that you would not only be so ungrateful, but you would even try to kill us. If the Dao Emperor knows of this, you would definitely be captured and sent back to Soul Seal Prison…" A Grand Emperor stared as Zhu Yin condensed a hand of elemental energy which loomed over him. He knew that he couldn’t escape, so he could only scold as much as he wanted.

Locked in Soul Seal Prison? Mo Wuji hurriedly transmitted a message to Chen San, "Immortal Friend Chen San, do you know about Soul Seal Prison?"

Chen San hurriedly transmitted, "It’s the most terrifying prison in the Very High Heavens. It’s even more terrifying than the Great Sword Path’s Sword Prison. If you are imprisoned in there, your soul and primordial spirit would be continuously eroded by icy-cold wind and burned by flaming-hot fire. Eventually, your soul would be grinded clean and you would turn into a complete idiot…"

"You see, I already helped you exterminate these people. Come, let’s have a good talk." After Zhu Yin killed the last Grand Emperor, he turned and grinned towards Mo Wuji.

Under his imprint of Laws, the Very High Heavens’ army continued to explode behind him. He acted as though he didn’t see any of this.

Mo Wuji said slowly, "Zhu Yin, your cultivation technique is not bad. You are actually able to devour the souls and primordial spirits of others and use them for your cultivation…"

"I have some deep insights towards the devouring of souls. If you need it, you can try to restrain me and I can teach them to you," Zhu Yin grinned and said.

The moment he heard these words, it seemed as though a lightning had flashed across Mo Wuji’s mind. In an instant, the fear that he had towards Zhu Yin disappeared.

Chapter 865: Finger Against Finger

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Zi Changluo kept you imprisoned for so many years. Why didn’t you kill Zi Changluo before you came to me?" Mo Wuji said indifferently.

Especially vicious people have especially deep schemes. At this point, Mo Wuji was sure that Zhu Yin’s entering into Soul Seal Prison wasn’t because Zhu Yin was helplessly caught, but because Zhu Yin intentionally wanted to go into Soul Seal Prison.

The reason why Mo Wuji could think of this was because he, himself, was the progenitor of his own Dao. In his Mortal Dao, he also needed to truly immerse himself in the life of a mortal in order to understand the true meaning within this Grand Dao.

Zhu Yin’s cultivation technique which was based on devouring souls was indeed evil. However, there’s no need to judge whether a cultivation technique was evil or not. This was because to a cultivator, all Daos could lead to the pinnacle that they are aiming for.

However, all Daos have their own form of shackles; these shackles needed to be continuously broken. Mo Wuji’s own Mortal Dao also had shackles; he didn’t believe that this wasn’t the same for Zhu Yin’s Broken Dao.

His Grand Dao required him to become a true mortal in order to understand its true meaning. As for Zhu Yin’s Grand Dao, it should be related to souls and primordial spirits.

Before Mo Wuji ascertained what the Soul Seal Prison was about, he didn’t dare to make such assumptions. But after Chen San explained about Soul Seal Prison, Mo Wuji immediately knew that Zhu Yin definitely went to Soul Seal Prison because he wanted to temper his Broken Dao.

The reason why Zi Changluo didn’t think of this wasn’t because Zi Changluo was more stupid than Mo Wuji. Instead, it was because Zi Changluo wasn’t the progenitor of his own Grand Dao.

Thus, from a certain perspective, Mo Wuji and Zhu Yin were the same kind of people.

Mo Wuji didn’t believe that a vicious person like Zhu Yin wouldn’t immediately kill Zi Changluo for locking him for countless years, albeit it was within his intentions.

By now, Mo Wuji completely understood the reason why Zhu Yin didn’t kill Zi Changluo. This was because Zhu Yin wanted Zi Changluo to help him one more time. When he first left Soul Seal Prison, he would definitely have to pay a price even if he tried to kill Zi Changluo.

Now, Zi Changluo had dispatched many experts and even an entire army to attack Mo Wuji. Zhu Yin simply wanted to use these people’s souls to recover his own elemental energy.

Previously, Zhu Yin had already devoured countless souls and primordial spirits. By now, Zhu Yin should have fully recovered. Unfortunately, he, Mo Wuji, didn’t know of Zhu Yin’s cultivation technique and origins beforehand. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have allowed Zhu Yin to easily consume all those primordial spirits and souls.

Now that Zhu Yin had recovered his elemental energy, Zhu Yin probably wanted to kill him and devour his soul. Thereafter, Zhu Yin would head back to the Very High Heavens to kill Zi Changluo. From the looks of it, Zhu Yin probably thought that Zi Changluo was stronger than him.

The reason why Mo Wuji’s fear towards Zhu Yin disappeared was because he also discovered how Zhu Yin was able to easily slaughter multiple Grand Emperors.

Mo Wuji was also the progenitor of a Grand Dao. He didn’t believe that there would be a huge gap in power between the two of them despite only having a small gap in cultivation.

In reality, there should have been days of work behind those simple-looking finger attacks. How could a vicious person like Zhu Yin not plot against the experts of the Very High Heavens as they were travelling to the Immortal World? As long as he managed to plot against those Grand Emperors, Zhu Yin would naturally be able to eliminate them easily.

As for how Zhu Yin managed to plot against those Grand Emperors, Mo Wuji didn’t want to think about that. He was sure that Zhu Yin definitely had his own ways.

Even though Zi Changluo wasn’t as vicious as Zhu Yin, Mo Wuji didn’t believe that Zi Changluo would have done nothing to Zhu Yin after capturing Zhu Yin. Since Zi Changluo had done something to Zhu Yin, but Zhu Yin still remained fearless, it would mean that Zhu Yin was far more devious than Zi Changluo.

Indeed, when he heard Mo Wuji’s question, Zhu Yin laughed indifferently, "It’s because I really want to know how strong is the person that even Zi Changluo has reservations towards…"

As he was speaking, Zhu Yin had already brought out a gigantic wooden fish. This wooden fish seemed as huge as a continent as it moved towards Mo Wuji.

Back when Zhu Yin killed more than 10,000 people, he didn’t even use his magic treasure. However, against Mo Wuji, he immediately brought out his magic treasure. Clearly, this person was very cautious.

In Mo Wuji’s perspective, Zhu Yin didn’t use his magic treasure on him because he was strong. Instead, it was because Zhu Yin didn’t understand him, but understood the people that were dispatched from the Very High Heavens.

In fact, it could even be a form of mocking when Zhu Yin used his magic treasure.

The moment Zhu Yin acted, Mo Wuji whipped out his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. Don’t simply look at how Zhu Yin had already killed more than 10,000 people. By now, Mo Wuji still didn’t know the true methods of Zhu Yin.

The attacks that Zhu Yin had shown so far probably wasn’t even one-billionth of his actual capabilities.

His Half Moon Weighted Halberd conjured a sky-splitting halberd light; this halberd light split into nine silver rivers which cascaded down from the sky.

All of a sudden, Zhu Yin’s wooden fish suddenly exploded. The shockwaves from the explosion actually left Mo Wuji slightly shocked. These shockwaves weren’t elemental shockwaves but spiritual will shockwaves. This was actually a Law that he had never seen before…

In the blink of an eye, this Law transformed into a world of its own. Mo Wuji clearly prepared himself but he was still drawn into the world.

Mo Wuji inhaled a breath of cold. By this time, he understood that this world should be Zhu Yin’s Broken Dao World. His cultivation level wasn’t as high as Zhu Yin but he also had his own world. It was just that the completeness of his world wasn’t the same as Zhu Yin’s; at the very least, his world couldn’t be used in battle.

Boundless black runes filled the sky; Mo Wuji seemed to return back to the distorted and warped space in the Sage Dao Talisman.

However, this was different from those spatial distortions. The spatial distortions were a power of the Sage Dao Talisman; Fu Jiujiang could only activate it but didn’t have any means of controlling it.

However, this talisman world was created by Zhu Yin, himself. Thus, Zhu Yin had absolute control over the Laws of his Broken Dao World.

Indeed, just as Mo Wuji thought of this, a terrifying force brushed across the edge of his sea of consciousness. It seemed to want to suck away the roots of his Dao.

In an instant, Mo Wuji knew what was going on; this was Zhu Yin’s method to extract one’s primordial spirit. If he really had a primordial spirit, he would have been caught off guard and he would actually have fallen under Zhu Yin’s attack. Even though he didn’t have a primordial spirit, his soul still got slightly unstable.

Zhu Yin’s cold laughter could be heard, "I was still thinking about how strong you could be. From the looks of it, Zi Changluo is getting weaker…"

Zhu Yin’s laughter stopped abruptly; he actually didn’t manage to grab a single trace of Mo Wuji’s primordial spirit. Before he could react, a Spiritual Will Arrow filled with death energy locked onto him.

His Broken Dao World was under his own Laws, everything should be within his control. However, he was unable to control this arrow intent. Not only that, his mind was even locked on by this arrow intent.

This is the Spiritual Will Arrow? Zhu Yin soon reacted. This was definitely the Spiritual Will Arrow. He definitely couldn’t allow this Spiritual Will Arrow to continue gathering the deathly energy in the area, nor could he allow himself to get completely locked on by this arrow.

Just as Zhu Yin thought of this, that Spiritual Will Arrow had already ripped through the air and shot towards his forehead. Mo Wuji had never intended to have his Spiritual Will Arrow completely locked onto Zhu Yin.

"Boom!" Zhu Yin’s wooden fish world suddenly exploded. A blinding light flashed across Zhu Yin’s forehead, it actually shattered Mo Wuji’s Spiritual Will Arrow.

Zhu Yin instantly coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Pff!" A glimmer of blood flashed; Zhu Yin’s right arm had been sliced by the cascading Winding River.

Zhu Yin landed among the corpses of the army that he had just slaughtered. He lifted his only hand and wiped off the blood that seeped out of the corner of his mouth. He stared at Mo Wuji and said, "You’re very strong. You’re strong beyond belief. Since I, Zhu Yin, started cultivation, you are the first person to force me to a disadvantage besides my intended capture by Zi Changluo. However, this isn’t because I’m worse than you, but because I didn’t know that your secret is actually bigger than mine. Now, why don’t you try my Soul Capturing Finger…"

Zhu Yin slowly raised his left hand. He looked as though he was picking flowers as he only pointed his finger towards Mo Wuji softly.

Mo Wuji knew the meaning behind Zhu Yin’s words. Zhu Yin was saying that it was simply because he didn’t know that Mo Wuji didn’t have a primordial spirit, which was why he had suffered a disadvantage.

Mo Wuji sneered in his heart. Even if he did have a primordial spirit, Zhu Yin should still forget about touching his sea of consciousness. After that battle with the Sage Dao Talisman and Fu Jiujiang, his sea of consciousness had already evolved into a new level. Even Zhu Yin probably didn’t know that there would be a sea of consciousness which possessed its own realm.

Zhu Yin’s finger only pointed lightly, but the entire world seemed to change. At this instant, the world turned black and white. In between these two colours of black and white, all souls would be shocked and captured.

With this finger, the Heaven and Earth turned into nothingness, space extinguished, and souls dispersed…

"Then why don’t you also try my finger…" Mo Wuji also pointed his finger forward.

The World of Man of the Seven World Finger appeared. The Heaven and Space appeared again and the extinguished space turned into the World of Man. In this World of Man, all living things were like white clouds - insignificant.

All life and death existed within this World of Man.

"Boom!" The two auras of the two Dao Progenitors clashed. Mo Wuji could even feel his sea of consciousness vibrating violently; there seemed to be a force which wanted to wrest away the soul from his sea of consciousness.

That force surrounded his willpower and his soul.

Since Mo Wuji started cultivation, the one thing he didn’t lack was willpower. Even though that soul capturing power was incredibly strong, he still remained unmovable like a mountain. All his dao energy transformed into the World of Man under his finger.

Zhu Yin’s expression was calm. It didn’t matter how strong your willpower was; his Soul Capturing Finger was able to capture his opponent’s soul, even if it was only a single strand of it.

In just a few breaths, Zhu Yin’s expression changed. His Soul Capturing Finger was actually unable to break through Mo Wuji’s sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji’s sea of consciousness actually possessed its own realm, and that realm belonged to Mo Wuji’s own Laws. Since he, Zhu Yin, started cultivation, he had never met such a freak like Mo Wuji. If not having a primordial spirit was not enough, Mo Wuji even possessed a sea of consciousness which had its own realm?

A single mistake was enough for an ordinary person to perish. However, he, Zhu Yin, was not an ordinary person. He no longer dared to continue fighting a freak like Mo Wuji.

Before he could escape, he saw the vicissitudes of life within the World of Man. In this World of Man, he was simply an ant.

Chapter 866: This Person Is Too Terrifying

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Zhu Yin’s eyes turned cold. His Soul Capturing Finger no longer struck towards Mo Wuji. Instead, it transformed into ripple-like surfaces as he tried to defend against Mo Wuji’s finger.

After Mo Wuji shot out with his Seven World Finger, no one would be able to locate where his Seven World Finger was; but Zhu Yin could.

"Boom!" The two finger’s dao energy slammed into each other; Laws exploded and filled the sky, forming spatial whirlpools in the air.

"Pff!" Zhu Yin coughed out a mouthful of blood. His Soul Capturing Finger had been completely shattered.

A hint of madness flashed across Zhu Yin’s eyes. At the same time, a strand of glee could also be seen within them. It seemed as though he wasn’t the one who was at a disadvantage after that finger battle.

Indeed, at the very next instant, the Soul Capturing Finger’s dao energy rapidly rebuilt itself. It soon condensed for form a murky black dao rune, forming a Law of the Heaven and Earth over this area. Anyone that saw that Law rune would feel their souls shaking.

Many people knew that Soul Capturing Finger Sacred Art was very strong. However, no one knew that his Soul Capturing Finger had more than one Capture. Not only was there the First Capture, Heavenly Charge, but there was also a Second Capture, Spiritual Intelligence.

The reason why no one knew it was because no one was even strong enough to force him to use his Second Capture.

After displaying the Second Capture, Zhu Yin retrieved his wooden fish. The same thought as Zi Changluo fleeted across his mind; he wanted to capture Mo Wuji and bring Mo Wuji into his wooden fish’s world.

Mo Wuji was the most impressive expert that he met in the entire Immortal World. He was especially envious of Mo Wuji’s sea of consciousness which possessed its own realm and he was curious as to how Mo Wuji was able to cultivate without a primordial spirit.

When one’s cultivation was low, possessing a primordial spirit would be useful for battles. However, once one’s cultivation got higher, not having a primordial spirit was so much more terrifying; Zhu Yin was extremely clear about that.

Even if Mo Wuji was any stronger, Zhu Yin believed that Mo Wuji wouldn’t be able to completely defend against his Second Capture. At the most, Mo Wuji would prevent the Soul Capturing Finger from entering his sea of consciousness. However, in reality, Zhu Yin’s Second Capture didn’t even need to enter the sea of consciousness; it needed to capture Mo Wuji’s spiritual intelligence.

As long as Mo Wuji lost his capacity for thought, even if it was for a single breath, he would be able to drag Mo Wuji into his wooden fish world. Zhu Yin was also sure that in this short period of time, Mo Wuji would have no means of dodging or using a new sacred art.

The instant the World of Man dissipated, Zhu Yin’s Soul Capturing Finger transformed into his Second Capture. However, Mo Wuji’s Seven World Finger didn’t dissipate completely. Instead, it transformed into the Second World Killer - Heaven and Earth.

The World of Man was only capable of controlling living things. However, Heaven and Earth was capable of controlling Laws. Thus, within this Heaven and Earth, all Laws, all life, and all sacred arts were within the control of his Heaven and Earth.

The moment Heaven and Earth appeared, everything had fallen into Mo Wuji’s hands; Mo Wuji was the one in control of this Heaven and Earth.

"Boom! Kacha!" If the First Capture of the Soul Capturing Finger was still able to contend with Mo Wuji’s World of Man for a short while, then this Second Capture wasn’t even able to tear through Mo Wuji’s domain before it was controlled by Heaven and Earth.

The Law within the Soul Capturing Finger shattered entirely, turning into nothing beneath Heaven and Earth.

After the Soul Capturing Finger shattered, Zhu Yin saw a finger behind the Heaven and Earth aiming towards his forehead. This finger didn’t crazily absorb deathly energy like the previous Spiritual Will Arrow. However, the deathly energy of this finger was far more terrifying.

Zhu Yin cultivated the Broken Dao, causing his sea of consciousness and his soul to be far more powerful than an average cultivator. The Spiritual Will Arrow was indeed very strong, but because of the strength of his sea of consciousness and his soul, it was only able to injure him. However, this finger, Heaven and Earth, seemed truly capable of ending and extinguishing him.

Under this Heaven and Earth, he, Zhu Yin, would undoubtedly die if he didn’t do anything.

When this finger came, Zhu Yin’s skull turned numb. He thought that his Soul Capturing Finger having a Second Capture was one of a kind. He didn’t think that Mo Wuji’s finger would also have a Second World Killer and it was even much stronger than the First World Killer.

An intense sense of unwillingness filled his mind; this was the first time he was overwhelmed by boundless regret.

He didn’t regret fighting Mo Wuji. Instead, he regretted his carelessness despite knowing that Mo Wuji wasn’t a simple person. If he, Zhu Yin, had a Second Capture for his Soul Capturing Finger, why wouldn’t others have a Second World Killer? After being trapped in Soul Seal Prison for so many years, did he forget how he managed to travel all the way to the top? It was through vigilance, vigilance and more vigilance.

If he had been more careful, he definitely wouldn’t have fallen under Mo Wuji’s Heaven and Earth. In terms of capabilities, he believed that he was not weaker than Mo Wuji. In fact, he had even more powerful sacred arts which he had yet to use.

"Spiritual intelligence, shatter for me…" Zhu Yin howled; a complex rune brimming with his dao energy suddenly appeared.

This complex rune transformed into a murky black blade. This blade light slashed forward from Zhu Yin’s sea of consciousness and cleaved against Mo Wuji’s finger. This was a slash paid at the price of his spiritual intelligence.

"Boom!" Mo Wuji’s Heaven and Earth clashed against this huge black blade. A soul-tearing force swept through the air. Mo Wuji could no longer hold it in as he coughed out a mouthful of blood. At this instant, his soul actually started to wither and his entire body felt fatigued.

At the same time, Zhu Yin heard a cracking sound from the depths of his sea of consciousness.

His head was bleeding. On the surface, it looked like he only faced minor injuries. In reality, he knew exactly what he had lost. To defend against this finger of Mo Wuji, he had to pay with his spiritual intelligence.

To Zhu Yin, the shattering of his spiritual intelligence wouldn’t merely cause a fall in his power, his Soul Capturing Finger would also be unable to use its Second Capture, Spiritual Intelligence, ever again. This wasn’t the most terrifying thing to him; the most terrifying thing was that with his spiritual intelligence shattered, he would have to find another place like Soul Seal Prison and torture himself for thousands of years before he could recover his power. If he wasn’t able to find such a place, then he would never be able to improve again in his entire life; his Great Dao would cease there.

No matter what, he had to flee, he had to flee far away. Before he recovered his power, he wasn’t going to return.

Mo Wuji was far too terrifying.

Even though his soul felt withered, Mo Wuji still released his domain explosively. At the same time, he prepared his Wheel of Life and Death. He anxiously wanted to kill Zhu Yin.

What shocked Mo Wuji was that after defending against his Seven World Finger, Zhu Yin suddenly shattered into pieces. Thereafter, he transformed into a black mist, and in an instant, that mist dispersed into the surroundings and vanished without a trace.

Even though Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye, he was still unable to determine where Zhu Yin had fled to.

Mo Wuji was speechless. He knew that with his capabilities, he wouldn’t be able to find Zhu Yin. It would be the same if he lost; Zhu Yin wouldn’t be able to find him. With his Wind Escape Technique, he could transform into a light breeze and disappear. Clearly, Zhu Yin’s escape art was related to the soul.

The surroundings of Ping Fan were filled with people. After Zhu Yin fled with heavy injuries, dead silence descended onto the crowd.

There’s no need to talk about those that didn’t know about Zhu Yin. However, the experts that knew of Zhu Yin felt their hearts shaking in waves of shock. How strong was Zhu Yin? The sect that Zhu Yin destroyed those years ago was one that even the combined forces of the Lightning Sect, Great Sword Path and Vast Ocean Immortal School couldn’t compare with. It was rumoured that when Zi Changluo brought ten over Grand Emperors to encircle Zhu Yin, Zhu Yin was still able to kill eight Grand Emperors and heavily injure Zi Changluo before he was eventually captured.

Such a vicious person was actually unable to defeat Sect Head Mo. Not only that, he was even heavily injured by Sect Head Mo and had one of his arms cut off.

To the people that know of the Broken Soul Man Zhu Yin, this act of Mo Wuji was far more difficult than killing multiple Grand Emperors.

No one knew that Zhu Yin didn’t only lose an arm. Compared to the shattering of his spiritual intelligence, Zhu Yin’s decapitated arm was merely an itch.

Mo Wuji turned to the dazed Su Zi’An and said, "Zi’An, Ping Fan Immortal School will be left to you and Wei Zidao. I will need to leave for some time. Mo Qingche is my relative, help her arrange for a quiet place to cultivate."

After which, Mo Wuji turned to Mo Qingche and said, "Qingche, if there’s anything you don’t know, you can ask Elder Su or Protector Wei."

"Zi’An understands." Su Zi’An finally returned to his countenance. He suppressed the agitation in his heart as he bowed respectfully.

With the Sect Head of Ping Fan being so strong, even Zi Changluo would no longer dare to cause trouble for them.

Wei Zidao was even more agitated. There was no need to talk about the current Zhu Yin, even the Zhu Yin tens of thousands of years ago was capable of squashing him. Over these tens of thousands of years, he, Wei Zidao, merely advanced from the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage to the Grand Emperor Stage. On the other hand, the Sect Head of his Ping Fan Immortal School was actually able to suppress Zhu Yin. Indeed, it was the right choice for him, Wei Zidao, to have stayed with Ping Fan.

"Yes, Grandpa," Mo Qingche said hurriedly.

This battle with Zhu Yin didn’t last very long, but it had shocked her deeply. At the same time, she was more aware of how powerful her grandfather actually was.

That Zhu Yin fella was so strong that he could kill 10,000 people with a single palm. Even though he was so impressive, her grandfather was still able to defeat him.

She was cultivating the legacy of her grandfather. If her Grandpa Mo Wuji could do it, then she, Mo Qingche, would also be able to do it too.

Mo Wuji then clasped his fists towards the crowd and said, "Immortal Friends of the Immortal World, my Ping Fan Immortal School is being rebuilt and it requires large amounts of resources. I seek everyone’s help. Of course, my Ping Fan Immortal School will compensate with the required immortal crystals."

The moment Mo Wuji said these words, many immortals came forward to express their support.

Chen San was the first to come forward, "Sect Head Mo, we actually came here to lend you our fists in battle. But now, we weren’t even strong enough to lend you our fists. Since Ping Fan Immortal School is going to be rebuilt, I, Chen San, will be the first to show my support."

"Right! We will support the rebuild of Ping Fan Immortal School!" The crowd hollered loudly.

Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards the crowd once more. Then, he turned to Chen San and said, "Immortal Friend Chen San, when I was in Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos, I heard some news about Chen Hu. It’s rumoured that he had met with a mishap. However, this matter has yet to be verified and I didn’t witness it personally. When I return to the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos, I will definitely find Chen Hu."

When Chen San heard that it was likely that Chen Hu had met with a mishap, his eyes turned red. He bowed towards Mo Wuji and said, "Sect Head Mo, I only request that when Sect Head Mo returns to the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos, you will bring me, Chen San, along."

"Alright." Mo Wuji accepted Chen San’s request.

At this instant, Mo Wuji’s priority was to go to the Very High Heavens. As for the sects like Lightning Sect and Vast Ocean Immortal School, he didn’t have to go after them at all; he knew that the people in those sects would definitely have fled already. Moreover, Mo Wuji only wanted to kill Lei Guyun and Jin Yusheng. Now that those two were already killed by him, he didn’t care that their sects have been disbanded.

At this instant, Zi Changluo was the one that he wanted to kill.

Chapter 867: Died So Simply

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Very High Heavens, Dao Emperor Palace.

Zi Changluo couldn’t help but feel uneasy. Days had passed but no news came from Gongshu Shipan.

If that wasn’t enough, the sects that regularly send him news of the Immortal World were also silent.

No. Carrying on like this is the not the solution. If Mo Wuji didn’t have the feat of killing a Dao Emperor, Zi Changluo really wouldn’t have cared too much about him. However, the key thing was that Mo Wuji’s battle records were indeed too shocking; Mo Wuji was even able to kill Lun Pa. One must know that even he, Zi Changluo, wouldn’t be able to kill Lun Pa.

"Men, get Lei Hongji here," Zi Changluo decided not to wait any further.

"Yes." A response came from outside the Dao Emperor Palace.

In less than half an incense’s time, a deep voice came from outside the palace, "Master, you’re finding me?"

Zi Changluo said warmly, "Hongji, come in. I have some matters I want you to handle.

"Yes, Master." The tall and muscular Lei Hongji came in. Compared to when his first arrival at Very High Heavens where he had lightning bolts dancing all around him, Lei Hongji no longer had the same unbridled lightning aura.

Zi Changluo nodded contentedly, "Not bad, not bad. Out of all my disciples, only your talent is truly spectacular. Your Immortal Emperor Stage cultivation has completely stabilised and you already have the aura of a master."

Lei Hongji bowed respectfully and said, "Master is over-praising me. Compared to my other senior brothers, Lei Hongji is still lacking."

Zi Changluo pointed towards the chair opposite him and said, "Hongji, ever since you became my disciple, I have regarded you as my son. There’s no need for you to be so polite here."

Lei Hongji bowed once more before he sat down. Zi Changluo also sat down. After Zi Changluo took a seat, he brought out a tea set, placed it at the corner of the table and said, "Hongji, Master is slightly sorry. Master has to borrow something from you."

Lei Hongji stood back up and said modestly, "If Master needs anything, there’s no need to say anything about borrowing. You only need to ask this disciple."

When he finished speaking, Lei Hongji took the initiative to pick up the teapot and served Zi Changluo a cup of spiritual tea.

Zi Changluo accepted the tea but he didn’t drink it. Instead, he placed the teacup on the table and said, "This thing is also very important to you, so Master feels very guilty…"

Lei Hongji laughed, "Master, please say it. If I, Lei Hongji, have extra, I wouldn’t mind giving it to you."

Zi Changluo jolted slightly. He could naturally tell that something was wrong with Lei Hongji’s words. What did he mean by extra?

"Lei Hongji, I know that your spiritual roots are amazing; they should be self-evolving spiritual roots, right? Honestly, in my entire life of cultivation, I, Zi Changluo, have never seen self-evolving spiritual roots. It’s been a long time since I reached the Dao Emperor Stage, and my cultivation potential has also reached its end. So, the thing I want to borrow is your spiritual roots…" When Zi Changluo finished speaking, he stared calmly at Lei Hongji.

Lei Hongji did not seem to be surprised. Instead, he said indifferently, "I’m afraid I cannot lend you that."

"Eh, that’s not up to you, nor is it up to me. You should be able to see that this teapot of mine is an array disc right? However, it was useless for you to have moved it away from the corner of the table. Now, even I am unable to release this trap array." ZI Changluo sighed, stood up and tried to pat Lei Hongji’s shoulder.

He had purchased this trap array from Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos; it was an array that exceeded Grade 9. As long as it was activated, everyone else besides him would have their immortal elemental energy and spiritual will sealed.

When Zi Changluo tried to raise his hand, his face changed. He discovered that his immortal elemental energy and spiritual will were trapped within his body and could not be used.

"You…" Zi Changluo’s heart sunk. Even an idiot would know that something was amiss.

Lei Hongji said indifferently, "I thought that you would have waited for some time. I didn’t think that you would be so impatient. You truly disappointed me."

"You know?" Zi Changluo’s heart sank to the bottom of an abyss.

Lei Hongji’s voice was calm as he said, "If I didn’t know, I, Lei Hongji, wouldn’t have gotten so far. Honestly, I really admire you. You are the first person to completely understand how heaven-defying my spiritual roots are. Even if you didn’t act today, I would have acted against you a few days later."

"I’m your master." Zi Changluo growled lowly. He didn’t shout; he knew that it would be useless to shout within this trap array.

Lei Hongji shook his head and said with slight disdain, "You can only be considered my fifth master. Oh right, do you want to know what happened to my first four masters?"

"What?" Zi Changluo asked subconsciously.

Lei Hongji said slowly, "My first master helped me to open my spirits. He was also the first to discover that my spiritual roots could evolve. Thereafter, he died. My second master was a Star Lord. He gave me countless cultivation resources. Then, he also died. My third master was my first master in the Immortal World. He had an alias, it was Grand Emperor Venom Sky…"

"Venom Sky…" Zi Changluo’s face changed. He finally understood how he fell into such a state; he had been poisoned. How could he not know about Grand Emperor Venom Sky? This was a person that even he wasn’t willing to offend. It was rumoured that this person could even place venom in the sky and that anyone that touches his hand would undoubtedly die.

Lei Hongji continued monotonously, "He also died. My fourth master is called Lei Guyun. I heard that he died a few days ago. He is also the only master that I didn’t kill personally. You are the fifth. Actually, you could have a few more days, ai…"

"Tell me, how was I poisoned, and how are you able to remain unaffected by my trap array? Otherwise, I will not be able to die peacefully…" Zi Changluo cried harshly.

"Who says that I am unaffected? Also, why would I care whether you die peacefully?" Lei Hongji suddenly pulled out a short sword from his sleeve and he walked next to Zi Changluo.

"So you weren’t able to break my trap array…" A hint of hope appeared within Zi Changluo’s eyes. So Lei Hongji was also the same as him; they both had their immortal elemental energy and spiritual will sealed.

Lei Hongji smiled with contempt, "I’m not the same as you. You have been poisoned by me, causing your entire body to turn numb. As for me, I only have my immortal elemental energy and spiritual will sealed. I can still move like an ordinary person."

"Hahaha…" Zi Changluo chuckled loudly. He was a Dao Emperor. A Lei Hongji without spiritual will and immortal elemental energy wouldn’t be able to kill him even if Lei Hongji had 100 years.

There was no need to talk about 100 years. If he didn’t come out after a few days, his subordinates would definitely get suspicious.

"..." Zi Changluo’s laughter stopped abruptly. Lei Hongji clearly didn’t have immortal elemental energy nor spiritual will. However, the sword in Lei Hongji’s hand was still able to easily pierce into his forehead, destroying his sea of consciousness and extinguishing his primordial spirit and soul…

"What’s this sword?" Zi Changluo muttered to himself. He didn’t hope that Lei Hongji would give him an answer, he only hoped that he could live.

In his life, he became a Dao Emperor, he lived in the Very High Heavens, and he ruled the Immortal World. What pleasures had he not enjoyed? What sights had he not seen?

He didn’t think that he would have died so simply, so easily. If he could turn back time, he would rather die in the battle for the Very High Heavens Cosmos City.

"This sword’s name is Tian Ji. You could consider it an honour to die under Tian Ji Sword and my Lei Hongji’s hands. Oh right, you want to know how you got poisoned? I merely helped you pour a cup of immortal tea which you didn’t drink," Lei Hongji said indifferently.

Honour? A hint of self-ridicule and disdain flashed across Zi Changluo’s eyes. In his life, he had killed many people and he had backstabbed many friends. Today, he died by his own disciple’s hands. It could be considered a form of retribution.

"Kacha!" Zi Changluo’s primordial spirit shattered and his fleshly body collapsed. A drop of vital blood was caught by Lei Hongji. Countless of runes landed on that vital blood. In less than two hours, an array disc the size of a palm appeared in Lei Hongji’s hand.

After grabbing that array disc, Lei Hongji picked out a pearl from Zi Changluo’s body, then he sliced off Zi Changluo’s finger and grabbed the storage ring.

He then walked out the door. He carefully placed a seal on the door and said to the empty air, "My master has some sudden insights. He needs to be left alone for 49 days. Even if there’s anything urgent, don’t disturb my master."

"Yes." A few voices sounded from shadows.

Lei Hongji nodded, then he calmly walked out of the Dao Emperor Palace.

…

Just as Mo Wuji walked out of Ping Fan Immortal School, four figures appeared in front of him. They were three men and one woman; he actually recognised three of them.

One was Six Paths Immortal Domain’s Heavenly Emperor Gai Qing and another one was the Second House Master of Green Immortal House, Qing Yang. When Mo Wuji saw Qing Yang those years ago, Qing Yang was only a Quasi-Emperor. Now, she was already in the early Immortal Emperor Stage. The third person was Great Kun Buddhist Sect’s Heng Ke.

This fella, Heng Ke, actually dared to appear in front of him? It wasn’t because he was magnanimous that he chose not to exterminate Great Kun Buddhist Sect, but because he didn’t have the time.

"Sect Head Mo!" Before Mo Wuji could rage, the four simultaneously clasped their fists and paid their respects. Heng Ke, in particular, bowed deeply.

Mo Wuji sneered in his heart; even though it wasn’t Heng Ke but Guang Xing who teamed up with Jin Yusheng, Lei Guyun and Yi Minghu to deal with him, he, Mo Wuji, really wouldn’t forget about that grudge. Those years ago, if Guang Xing hadn’t blocked him, he wouldn’t even have been surrounded by the other Grand Emperors.

"The three of you, please wait. I need to settle some debts today." Mo Wuji burst forth with killing intent.

Heng Ke seemed to know that Mo Wuji wanted to kill him. He did not wait for Mo Wuji to attack as he brought his palms together and said, "Sect Head, the incident that happened those years ago was due to my Great Kun Buddhist Sect’s greed. As the sect head, Guang Xing actually did such a tyrannical thing. Guang Xing knew that he had sinned greatly. So as not to implicate the sect, Guang Xing has gone back into the circle of reincarnation a few days ago."

Guang Xing had committed suicide? However, was Guang Xing’s suicide enough to make him forget about his revenge? He, Mo Wuji, wasn’t such a nice person. Those years ago, if not for that star locket that Ji Li gave him, his Revolving Star Passage Technique and his God Physique, he would have definitely died.

But this Guang Xing also knew how to act. To actually commit suicide, this Guang Xing was rather bold.

"Amitabha, we all know that Sect Head Mo had been wronged. It’s just that the Seven Immortal Domains are in grave peril. This monk boldly pleads that Sect Head Mo temporarily places aside this karma." The one speaking was a monk; the only one of the four that Mo Wuji didn’t recognise.

"Who are you?" Mo Wuji stared calmly at the monk in front of him.

Heng Ke was also a monk, causing him to suspect that this other monk could be a helper of Heng Ke. However, even if all four of them surround and attack him now, he wouldn't need to worry.

Qing Yang hurriedly came forward and said, "Sect Head Mo, please don't misunderstand. This is Sala Buddha Immortal Domain Seven Buddha Great Temple’s Buddhist Emperor Xing Shan."

Xing Shan? Mo Wuji inwardly thought that this name was so filled with love. [1] After seeing the greedy monks of Great Kun Buddhist Sect, Mo Wuji had always lacked favour towards the Buddhist sects in Sala Buddha Immortal Domain. However, he did have a favourable impression towards Seven Buddha Great Temple. Before he entered the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos, he had met Seven Buddha Great Temple’s Monk Da Ning.

Monk Da Ning’s character was really not bad; he had always done things in the light. This was unlike Great Lin Buddhist Sect who only knew how to plot in the shadows.

"This poor monk is Xing Shan." Xing Shan looked friendly and his tone was also amiable.

Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "So it's Immortal Friend Xing Shan. Previously, I had the fortune of meeting your sect's Immortal Friend Da Ning."

When Xing Shan heard Mo Wuji mention Da Ning, he hurriedly asked, "Is Da Ning doing well?"

Mo Wuji replied, "I only had a brief encounter with Immortal Friend Da Ning. We were separated midway and I didn't see him again. Thereafter, I also didn't hear any news of him, so I'm no longer clear about his exact situation."

"Ai!" Monk Xing Shan sighed but no longer asked any further.

"Is there any special reason why the few of you have stopped me?" Mo Wuji no longer continued acting against Heng Ke.

The few of them turned to face Qing Yang, seemingly wanting Qing Yang to explain the situation.

Qing Yang took the lead and said, "Sect Head Mo, before you came to the Immortal World, you should have been the Sect Head of Tian Ji Sect, right?"

"That's right." Mo Wuji nodded. This sort of thing would be revealed in a simple investigation. Moreover, there was no need for him to continue hiding it. With his capabilities, he wouldn't need to worry if all of Tian Ji Sect's enemies came after him; he will face them all.

When Qing Yang heard Mo Wuji's words, she heaved a slight sigh of relief and continued, "Someone discovered a place in the Immortal World which is emitting a violent energy of death and destruction. As long as anyone entered, then that person would undoubtedly die. Eventually, someone finally managed to escape alive but he died soon after. That person only said two words when he came out: Tian Ji."

"Are you able to show me an illustration of that place?" When Mo Wuji heard the words 'Tian Ji’, his interest was immediately piqued.

Qing Yang was clearly prepared; she immediately retrieved a jade letter and passed it to Mo Wuji.

The moment Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will in, he could see that the surroundings shown within this jade letter were roughly the same as the map that Su Zi’An gave him. This was also the same as the faint diagrams on the Tian Ji Sect Head Token.

Mo Wuji had long wanted to take a look at this place, it was just that he had never known its exact location; so it had been delayed for so long. He didn't expect that someone else would discover it, and it even seemed to be a danger zone.

"Sect Head Mo, we've been there once before. Whether it was Buddhist Emperor Xing Shan or Heavenly Emperor Gai Ying, they both had a premonition that this place was extremely dangerous. If this danger wasn't resolved, it could cause the entire Immortal World to collapse. Thereafter, Buddhist Emperor Xing Shan and Heavenly Emperor Gai invited Heavenly Emperor Zizai and Immortal Emperor Jin Ping. They also had the premonition that this place could cause the collapse of the entire Immortal World.

Seeing that this matter is far from simple, the four of us prepared to invite an expert to take a look. We happened to learn that Sect Head Mo had returned, which was why we specially hurried over to find Sect Head Mo," Qing Yang's way of speaking was straightforward and she also explained things clearly.

Mo Wuji also knew clearly about what their original intentions were. What 'happened to learn that Sect Head Mo had returned’? What 'specially hurried over to find Sect Head Mo’? They probably were prepared to report this incident to the Very High Heavens. It was just that they came to know that Mo Wuji had screwed the Very High Heavens and had even killed many Immortal Emperors of the Very High Heavens. This was why they decided to change their plans at the last minute to request for his help instead.

Of course, Mo Wuji saw no need in revealing that he knew of such matters.

Now that the map towards Tian Ji had appeared, he would have made a trip there even if Qing Yang and co. didn't invite him.

"Sect Head Mo, Heavenly Emperor Zizai is adroit in the Dao Studies Of Changes. His opinions are sometimes more precise than ours." By the side, Gai Ying added.

Mo Wuji knew of Heavenly Emperor Zizai's skill with the Study of Changes. However, Mo Wuji didn't dare to respect Heavenly Emperor Zizai's skill. This fella predicted that Lei Hongji was going to be the saviour of the Immortal World; he, Mo Wuji, didn't believe that bullsh*t. Would a person like Lei Hongji sacrifice himself to save the Immortal World? This fella could probably do better trying to fool the dead.

"I wonder where Heavenly Emperor Zizai is?" Mo Wuji casually asked.

Monk Xing Shan answered with his palms placed together, "Immortal Friend Zizai and Immortal Devil Path's Immortal Emperor Jin Ping are currently guarding over that place, along with several other Immortal Emperors."

"Alright, I agree to go. But before this, I still have to handle some matters, so I would have to push this matter off for some time," Mo Wuji decided on the spot.

Xing Shan placed his palms together once more, "May I ask what matters will Sect Head Mo be attending to? And how long would it take?"

Before Mo Wuji could reply, Qing Yang said, "If Sect Head Mo is intending to go to the Very High Heavens, I would suggest against it. I have met the Very High Heavens’ Zi Changluo before. He is an extremely cautious person. When he sent his army to the Immortal World, he didn't even come. Even if you know the location of the passage to the Very High Heavens, he would have closed it off."

Mo Wuji thought in his heart: This Qing Yang was really quite piercing. He really did intend to get rid of Zi Changluo first, then he would return. In reality, he didn't even know where the passage to the Very High Heavens was; he intended to go to Gods Immortal Domain and ask around for directions.

Now that he heard Qing Yang's words, he knew that he could only postpone that matter even if he was especially eager to do it. Moreover, it seemed that he should resolve the matter of Tian Ji's appearance as soon as possible, whether it was for himself or for the Immortal World.

"I will first return to my sect to install a sect protecting array. Thereafter, I will follow the few of you to where Tian Ji is." Mo Wuji gave up his intention of going to the Very High Heavens. However, installing a protective array for Ping Fan Immortal School was something that he needed to do.

Previously, because he accidentally landed himself in the Heaven's Beyond Cosmos, he wasn't able to return to the Immortal World for many years. Who knew exactly where Tian Ji was? If he was unable to return for a protracted time, then his sect would be left without a protective array.

"Of course this is fine. We can even assist Sect Head Mo with this," Gai Ying hurriedly said.

Heng Ke, who hadn't spoked for a long time, grabbed this opportunity to say, "To compensate for my Great Kun Buddhist Sect's past mistakes, my Great Kun Buddhist Sect would provide the materials for Ping Fan Immortal School's sect protecting array."

This was definitely going to be a huge sum. As a Grade 9 Array Master, Mo Wuji was naturally going to install a Grade 9 immortal array. Not only was the amount of materials needed for a Grade 9 array going to be stupefying, the grade of the materials was going to be dumbfounding as well.

Hearing Heng Ke's words, Mo Wuji revealed a smile, "Very well then since the Great Kun Buddhist Sect has such intentions. If your sect is really able to help with this, then I will forget about the past."

Grade 9 immortal array? Keke, that's a thing of the past. Now, the protective array that Mo Wuji was going to install was going to exceed Grade 9. He wouldn't read till he wrests away half of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect's savings.

…

Ten days later, Heng Ke finally saw Mo Wuji complete Ping Fan’s defensive array with a pale expression on his face.

The Great Kun Buddhist Sect’s stores could be considered top-class in the entire Buddhist Sect. However, this array of Mo Wuji’s almost emptied out their deep stores.

While his heart ached, Heng Ke also felt relief. He finally resolved the grievances between Sect Head Mo and his Great Kun Buddhist Sect. Otherwise, his Great Kun Buddhist Sect could only follow the example of the Great Sword Path or learn from the Lightning Sect and vanish without a trace. Either way, the sect would basically cease to exist in the Immortal World.

Ping Fan Immortal School had expanded to more than multiple times its original size. Because there were many people that supported Ping Fan, the sect stood far more majestic than before.

Originally, Mo Wuji even intended to install a large scale lightning tempering array. However, Monk Xing Shan was especially anxious about the matter of Tian Ji, he could only prepare a temporary lightning tempering pond for Mo Qingche. Thereafter, he followed the group out of Ping Fan Immortal School and towards the site of Tian Ji.

…

"What a great flying car. This car seems to have been forged not long ago, could it be a work of Smith Emperor Xu Suren?" Gai Ying exclaimed in wonderment when he saw the array flags and array runes along the flying car.

In the Immortal World, there were extremely few Smith Emperors that could forge Grade 9 immortal equipment. Whether it was in terms of defences or speed, Mo Wuji's flying car was at the very top. In Gai Ying's perspective, only Xu Suren could have forged this flying car.

Qing Yang sighed and said, "The Heavenly Emperor's judgement is wrong. If I am right, this flying car should have been forged by Sect Head Mo himself."

Gai Ying was momentarily stunned. He already suspected his eyes when he saw Mo Wuji install a sect protecting array which even exceeded Grade 9 immortal arrays. If Mo Wuji was also a Grade 9 Smith Emperor, then…

"This flying car is indeed forged by me," Mo Wuji smiled and said.

"Sect Head Mo is truly the number one genius in our Immortal World," Gai Ying sighed," I didn't think that my acumen would be worse than my daughter, Feiyan."

If he heard these words before he met that brown haired man that was hunting Yan Li, Mo Wuji would have really felt contented. But now that he met that brown-haired man, Mo Wuji knew that his bit of abilities was truly not worth mentioning.

It was just like when he was in the Worldly Immortal Stage back in the cultivation world, he still felt as though he wasn’t at the top. This was because even though he was standing at the peak of the cultivation world, he still couldn’t see the light. In front of him, there were only taller mountains.

Qing Yang also had similar thoughts as Gai Ying; previously, she thought that Mo Wuji didn't have any potential for growth and decided to go against her initial thoughts of betrothing Qing Ruoyue to Mo Wuji. If she knew that Mo Wuji would have progressed to such a stage, she wouldn't have dared about how shameless it might seem, she would have tried to bring Qing Ruoyue and Mo Wuji together.

"Sect Head Mo, that Zhu Yin really didn't have any means of resisting you?" Qing Yang changed the topic. The moment she thought about Qing and Mo Wuji, she would get vexed.

Mo Wuji's expression turned serious, "No, this person is extremely strong. If he didn't underestimate me or overestimate himself, even if I could win him, it wouldn't have been an easy victory."

Even though Mo Wuji seemed to have defeated Zhu Yin easily, Mo Wuji was very clear that Zhu Yin still had many methods which he didn't reveal. It was primarily because he had just emerged from Soul Seal Prison that Zhu Yin's self-confidence swelled, causing him to underestimate Mo Wuji.

Of course, even if that fella didn't underestimate him, Mo Wuji didn't have any reason to fear.
