Chapter 301: Thorny Wind Gate
Mo Wuji was somewhat speechless. He had killed at least thousands, even tens of thousands, of Starry Sky Scorpions, yet he only had 149 points. The star token didn't have decimals, which meant he had to kill a lot of small Starry Sky Scorpions just to get one point.
However, Mo Wuji didn't pay much attention to it. This was just the beginning. Once his Azure Heart could be spread out in a large area, he could even kill all the Starry Sky Scorpions in that area.
Over the next period of time, Mo Wuji increased his vigilance. Although he encountered several large groups of Starry Sky Beasts, he avoided them in advance. He wouldn't get many Starry Sky Points from these large groups of Starry Sky Beasts. Instead, he might lose his life if he wasn't careful.
Half a month later, Mo Wuji stopped. In front of him was a huge vortex, carrying a violent whistling sound. Even without going inside, just standing outside the vortex, one could feel a sense of palpitations.
"Is this the Thorns Wind Gate?" Mo Wuji looked at the huge vortex, his heart filled with worry. He had bought some introductions to the Thorns Wind Gate, but they weren't very detailed, only saying that the wind inside was like thorns, and the death rate for those who entered was as high as ninety percent.
With Cen Shuyin's strength, what chance would she have of surviving if she entered this Thorns Wind Gate? It was probably just like rolling dice, completely relying on luck, right?
Mo Wuji put away his flying ship and took out the concave defensive shield. He thought for a moment, then took off the star token hanging on his waist. This star token was of great importance. If it was blown away by the wind, he would have to reapply for one. Who knew if Chu Qianlou could help him a second time?
After making all the preparations, Mo Wuji took a deep breath and jumped directly into the vortex.
Terrifying pulling forces swept in. Even though Mo Wuji's spiritual will was not weak, his shield was instantly detached from his range of spiritual will and disappeared without a trace.
Then, forces like steel whips with thorns struck his body, tearing his clothes directly away, and even his skin was directly pulled out into streaks of bloody lines.
Mo Wuji felt like he had been thrown into a washing machine, unable to resist in any way. He could only let the force rotate his body, letting the thorny wind whips take away pieces of his skin.
"Bang!" A huge force came, and Mo Wuji stopped rotating. He was finally thrown out of the terrifying vortex and slammed onto the ground.
A pain of broken bones came, and Mo Wuji quickly grabbed a few healing pills and swallowed them. A rich spiritual energy swept in, the concentration of this spiritual energy was even stronger than the gale. Unfortunately, this was not a place for people to cultivate.
He was somewhat grateful that he had experienced too much pain, otherwise, that one blow just now would have been enough to knock him unconscious.
In this kind of place, who knew what would happen if he passed out?
Mo Wuji soon knew that his gratitude was correct. He had just gotten up when a violent, tearing gale swept in. At this moment, Mo Wuji's spiritual will had no way to extend out, and his eyes could not see clearly beyond ten meters.
"Boom!" The gale swept across Mo Wuji's body, lifting him directly.
If it was just a gale, it would have been fine. But the gale seemed to have countless invisible thorns, each with inverted barbs. These invisible, barbed thorns, mixed in the gale, drew streaks of blood on Mo Wuji's already bloody body again. Every blood mark had no skin left.
In just a moment, Mo Wuji's body, not to mention clothes, even his skin had few complete places left.
The gale was still raging, and Mo Wuji barely managed to conjure up another shield, while secretly accumulating vital energy. As long as he saw a safe place, he would immediately rush out of the gale. Otherwise, he didn't know where the gale would blow him. He wouldn't even have to wait for the gale to blow him away, his flesh and blood would be whipped away by this wind.
At this moment, Mo Wuji truly understood why this place was called the Thorns Wind Gate. The gale here was like thorny vines whipping a naked body, and few people could withstand it.
After being swept by the gale for nearly ten minutes, Mo Wuji vaguely saw a slightly safer place. It was a wind-sheltered gap formed by two huge rocks leaning against each other.
Mo Wuji, who had long been prepared, suddenly burst out with all his vital energy, and the protective shield blocked part of the gale under the protection of his spiritual will.
In that instant, Mo Wuji rushed down from the gale and directly burrowed between the two boulders. His protective shield was once again swept away by the gale because he didn't have time to take it back.
Mo Wuji, covered in blood, sat on the ground, listening to the raging wind outside, his heart was heavy. How long had he been in the Thorns Wind Gate? He had been reduced to this state, and couldn't even look directly. Cen Shuyin was probably already dead. This place was indeed a dead end.
After resting for a while, Mo Wuji stood up and touched the two boulders. He soon determined that the two boulders were blown in by the gale, rather than originally being here. Since the gale could blow boulders from elsewhere, it could only mean one thing. The gale he had encountered just now was not the worst, otherwise, he would have had no chance to escape to this place.
The surrounding rich spiritual energy seemed no worse than the spiritual energy in the Spirit Locking Pool below the Thirteen Spirit Lock Array of the Heavenly Secrets Sect. But Mo Wuji had no intention to cultivate. His spiritual will cautiously scanned out. But his spiritual will was soon blown away by the gale, without any trace. Everywhere his eyes could see was a blur.
It could be said that from the time he entered the Thorns Wind Gate until now, he could only see a few feet around him.
Somewhat disappointed, Mo Wuji sat on the ground, knowing that he had no other choice but to stay here and cultivate. And he had to advance to the True Lake Realm as soon as possible, otherwise, when the next wave of gale blew away the boulder, he wouldn't even have a chance to struggle.
The only good thing here was that the spiritual energy was rich. As long as the two boulders were not blown away within a month or two, he could break through to the True Lake Realm.
Despite the astonishingly rich spiritual energy here, Mo Wuji still threw down a large pile of spirit stones. He yearned to advance to the True Lake Realm as soon as possible, naturally, he couldn't let cultivation resources tie his hands and feet. He also knew that even if he threw out so many spirit stones, cultivation resources might still tie his hands and feet, because he opened one hundred and two meridians at the same time to reverse the circulation of heaven and earth, and his absorption of spiritual energy was too crazy.
He didn't even bother to continue to restore his external injuries. Mo Wuji began to cultivate with the reversed circulation of heaven and earth. He didn't continue to cultivate the Immortal Mortal Art, but used the modified cultivation method of his own.
To be honest, after Mo Wuji modified the cultivation method, this was the first time he had cultivated so recklessly. Although he was also walking and reversing the circulation of heaven and earth while cultivating in the Lost Marsh, it was not a pleasant cultivation after all. He had to be careful about various injuries in the environment during cultivation. Therefore, although the speed of reversing and cultivating the modified cultivation method and absorbing spiritual energy was fast, the progress of cultivation was not fast. He spent half a year, but only advanced from the tenth level of the Yuan Dan to the early stage of the twelfth level. In other words, after half a year of hard work, he had only advanced by a small level.
At this moment, Mo Wuji opened all his meridians and cultivated with all his strength to reverse the circulation of heaven and earth, and only then did he know how crazy his reversed cultivation method was at absorbing spiritual energy.
The surrounding spiritual energy was like the previous vortex wind gate, reversing back, forming one reverse vortex after another around Mo Wuji. After these vortexes of spiritual energy touched Mo Wuji, they were all devoured by Mo Wuji, without any waste.
The pile of spirit stones that Mo Wuji had placed under his feet turned into waste dregs at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this moment, Mo Wuji had no time to continue to take out spirit stones, he was completely immersed in that terrifying absorption of spiritual energy.
What surprised Mo Wuji even more was that he found that even with the same spiritual energy, the spiritual energy absorbed here allowed him to more clearly and accurately understand the direction of his cultivation.
This feeling was like when he cultivated with Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones. Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones contained their own spiritual rhyme rules, which could allow cultivators to cultivate faster and more easily understand the true meaning of the Dao. At this moment, he had not used Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones, but he had experienced this.
Without asking anyone, Mo Wuji also knew that this must be the difference between the True Star Continent and the Lost Continent. The difference in the Dao rhythm of heaven and earth, the Dao rhythm of heaven and earth here was more suitable for people to seek the Dao. And the Dao rhythm of heaven and earth in the Lost Continent seemed to have been destroyed a lot.
At this cultivation speed, where would he need a month to advance to the True Lake? In just six days, Mo Wuji directly came to the late stage of the twelfth level of the Yuan Dan, and after nine days, Mo Wuji's Yuan Dan realm was complete. His whole body was flowing with spiritual energy, and the purple energy in his body directly formed a prototype of a purple lake.
"Ka!" When the reverse circulation of heaven and earth in one hundred and two meridians reached an extreme, the one hundred and third meridian was blasted open without any hindrance.
With just one more meridian, the spiritual energy gathered around was like being poured directly into the sea, and was frantically swept away by Mo Wuji like a whale sucking water.
Vital energy constantly rolled in all of Mo Wuji's meridians, and then strengthened and strengthened again. The prototype of the purple lake in his body actually began to collapse. After the collapsed purple aura directly forced into his Purple Mansion, Mo Wuji's Purple Mansion actually slowly cracked from the inside due to the intrusion of such a powerful purple aura, and the cracking speed became faster and faster.
Mo Wuji was greatly anxious. He knew that once the Purple Mansion shattered, he would be completely finished. Whether he cultivated from the meridians or from the spirit veins, the Purple Mansion was absolutely not allowed to be lost. But now he had no way to deal with the cracking of the Purple Mansion, he could only endure the shock and anxiety in his heart, and was still constantly reversing the circulation of heaven and earth. Just like drinking poison to quench thirst, his strength was also constantly increasing madly in this unstoppable cultivation.
"Boom!" A violent roar finally came from the depths of the Purple Mansion, making Mo Wuji almost think that his mind had been blown open. But not only did his strength not weaken at all, it was still increasing, and the speed at which spiritual energy was swept away was even faster.
