Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 337 Passing the Buck
He had advanced from Void God Level 1 to Void God Level 3 in just three months. After reaching Void God Level 3, his cultivation progress gradually slowed down, but the violent devouring of spiritual energy continued to shatter the surrounding spiritual marrow stone mushrooms.
Advancing from Void God Level 3 to Void God Level 4 was not a matter of a day or two, so Mo Wuji temporarily stopped cultivating. He would go to check on Cen Shuyin's jade coffin every so often.
Even though the jade coffin was protected by his defensive array and the Azure Heart of Qingjin, this place was the Extreme Ice Sea. If something were to happen, he would never forgive himself.
Even if Cen Shuyin was already dead, he didn't want to put her into his ring. There was no living being inside the ring, and he was afraid that Cen Shuyin would feel lonely and desolate inside. Although it was cold outside, at least he was there with her.
Mo Wuji sighed, his spiritual will falling onto his ring. No matter how large the ring space was, it was still just a space for storing things. His ring contained mountains of spirit stones and pills, spirit tools and various materials.
At this moment, he really wanted to exchange his pile of rings and everything in them for a small world where life could survive. However, he had only heard of such treasures.
If Shuyin was still alive, cultivating in this place, with Shuyin's aptitude and the Great Wind Technique, her cultivation might even be higher than his.
A fist-sized, earth-yellow egg appeared within his spiritual will. Seeing this egg, Mo Wuji recalled the time he and Ji Guang and others had entered the Chang Luo Sea, hunting sea wing leopards in the Seven Corners Sea area. Back then, they had found five sea wing leopard eggs. Inside the sea wing leopard's nest, there was also such an oddity. Because he had contributed the most, this oddity was given to him as a bonus.
Remembering these past events, Mo Wuji thought of Ding Bu'er, Yuan Zhenyi, and Shi Yi Niang.
He wondered how Ding Bu'er was doing now. He had been running around constantly, cultivating like crazy, and even after becoming the Alliance Lord, he hadn't had the chance to see Ding Bu'er.
And Shi Yi Niang, how were she and Mo Xiangtong now? And Yan'er, when they were in the Wuhhen Sword School, she would hold this egg all day long, wandering around the Blood Lotus Lake. Yan'er was following behind Bei Suting; she should be doing well.
Past events were like smoke, and the past was destined to pass.
Mo Wuji sighed and subconsciously took the earth-yellow egg into his hand.
"Crack!" The moment Mo Wuji took the egg out, a crack actually appeared in its shell...
Mo Wuji stared at the egg in his hand in surprise. Then he felt the egg move slightly, and he quickly mobilized a ball of searing yuan energy to envelop the egg, his heart filled with joy.
He didn't expect this egg to hatch one day. In this terrifyingly cold place, if it were invaded by the cold air, this egg would definitely be useless.
"Crack, crack, crack..." Enveloped by Mo Wuji's yuan energy, the cracks in the egg grew larger and larger. Finally, a pointed beak stretched out. The beak looked like a bird's, but it had a pair of round, large eyes. The round eyes turned, and then the pointed beak circled the outside of the eggshell and swallowed the shell covering it.
Mo Wuji stared blankly at the little thing in his palm. It had a pointed beak, large eyes, and three horns on its head. Correspondingly, this thing had three legs. From that pair of wings that still only had some down, Mo Wuji guessed that this should be a bird.
Except for those big, cute eyes, this bird was simply too ugly.
The ugly bird immediately let out an excited screech as soon as it came out, and then it wanted to jump onto the spiritual marrow stone mushrooms. Fortunately, this guy had some self-awareness. As soon as it stretched its head out, it knew that it couldn't go outside. Once it left Mo Wuji's palm, it would immediately perish.
"Chirp chirp!" The ugly bird kept pecking at Mo Wuji's palm with its pointed beak, meaning, "Let me go eat the spiritual marrow quickly."
Mo Wuji sighed, "You're so ugly, I might as well call you Xiao Chou (Little Ugly)."
The ugly bird seemed to understand Mo Wuji's meaning and increased the volume of its screech.
"You can understand my words?" Mo Wuji looked at the ugly bird in surprise.
He knew that even if the ugly bird in his hand was a demon beast, it would have to wait until at least Level 1 Late Stage, or even Level 2, to understand his words. This little bird could understand his words as soon as it came out; its intelligence was simply at the level of the President of the United States.
"Then should I call you Shuaiguo (Pot-Thrower)?" Mo Wuji asked in a tentative tone.
The ugly bird didn't seem to understand what Shuaiguo meant, staring at Mo Wuji with a pair of innocent big eyes.
Mo Wuji had no choice but to explain, "It means handsome, dashing, and jade-like."
The ugly bird seemed to really understand Mo Wuji's words and immediately jumped in Mo Wuji's palm, obviously very satisfied with this name.
Mo Wuji looked at the ugly bird in his hand speechlessly. Shuaiguo? Well, it was the first time he had seen such a shameless bird.
"Don't you have any shame?" Mo Wuji asked weakly, looking at the ugly bird that was excited in his hand.
The ugly bird seemed to not understand Mo Wuji's words again, still looking at Mo Wuji with a pair of innocent eyes.
Mo Wuji strongly suspected that this thing was pretending. He didn't know what kind of ancient divine bird's offspring this was, but its skin was so thick. It was already so thick-skinned when it was just born. When it grew up, its skin would probably be able to withstand the cold of this Extreme Ice Sea, right?
Mo Wuji shook his head. He couldn't keep this bird in his hand all the time, so he could only send the bird into the protective array where Cen Shuyin was. This protective array was protected by the Azure Heart of Qingjin, and the cold air couldn't get in. Although Shuaiguo was ugly, Mo Wuji didn't want it to be turned into nothingness by the cold air.
In this protective array, all kinds of spiritual marrow stone mushrooms had already been piled up. As soon as Shuaiguo entered the protective array, it immediately pounced on a spiritual marrow stone mushroom, crunching it loudly.
Mo Wuji looked at this ugly bird very seriously and said, "Shuaiguo, this is the place where your mistress rests in peace. You can only carefully guard this place. You can eat these spiritual marrow stone mushrooms as you please, but if you dare to touch the protective array and let the cold air invade the mistress's jade coffin, no matter how ugly you are, I will stew you into a soup. You only have one purpose here: to guard the mistress."
Shuaiguo didn't understand Mo Wuji's words again. It did raise its head from gnawing on the spiritual marrow stone mushroom, once again revealing an innocent look.
Mo Wuji was too lazy to pay attention to this thing and continued to advance to Void God Level 4.
Since Half Moon Immortal Palace was so important, then he must advance to True God Realm in the shortest time, and then go out and try everything possible to go to Half Moon Immortal Palace.
…
In the world of cultivation, time passes the fastest. Inadvertently, a closed-door cultivation lasts for several years.
In the Starry Sky Gate of the Starry Sky Dock, a woman wearing a veil stepped in. The surrounding cultivators saw this woman and respectfully made way to the side.
In True Morrow Continent, every Immortal was a famous existence. Although no one deliberately inquired, everyone knew that this veiled woman was an Immortal expert. Moreover, she had also entered the Starry Sky Board a year ago, and had entered the top 5,000.
It was Bei Suting who had returned from outside the Starry Sky. After Yan'er went to the Starry Sky alone, Bei Suting was still a little worried, so she followed her into the Starry Sky. However, she had trained in the Starry Sky for three years, but she did not have any news about Yan'er. In three years, she had not only accumulated a pile of Starry Sky Contribution Points, but also entered the top 5,000 of the Starry Sky Board.
For an Immortal expert, the top 5,000 was nothing. This ranking was even seriously inconsistent with her identity. Bei Suting did not care. She had never taken those rankings to heart.
Arriving on the first floor of the Starry Sky Dock, Bei Suting subconsciously looked at the Heaven, Earth, and Human Boards on the side. She actually wanted to know if Mo Wuji's name was on it.
In her opinion, Mo Wuji was able to enter the Starry Sky Board in True Lake Realm. If he survived, he would likely set foot on the territory of True Morrow Continent's Earth Board.
She saw Lei Hongji on the Earth Board. Lei Hongji was currently the sixteenth on the Earth Board. True Morrow Continent had countless geniuses, and Lei Hongji reaching the sixteenth place could be said to be very heaven-defying. Even Bei Suting herself knew that she would not be able to reach the sixteenth place on the Earth Board of True Morrow Continent when she was in Void God Realm.
In addition, she also saw Yan Yangnan of the Yan Family. Yan Yangnan's brother, Yan Yangdong, was killed by Mo Wuji. At this moment, Yan Yangnan had also entered the Earth Board, and was ranked three hundred and eighty-fourth.
Each of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Boards had ten thousand people. Whether it was the sixteenth place or the three hundred and eighty-fourth place, these were all amazing and talented people who could only be on the board by easily defeating their peers.
Unfortunately, after searching the entire list, she did not see Mo Wuji's name.
Bei Suting sighed. This time in the trial, she had made a special trip to the Extreme Ice Sea. After entering the Extreme Ice Sea, she did not stay for long before she quickly came out. With her strength, she could not stay in the Extreme Ice Sea for a long time. Mo Wuji had entered the Extreme Ice Sea for several years, so the chance of surviving was probably extremely slim.
(The third update is here. Old Five would like to thank my friends for allowing our Immortal Mortal to continue to stay at the top of the recommendation vote list! Today's update ends here. Good night, friends.)
