Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 283: Howling Gale
The Lost Heaven Ruins were indeed dangerous, but weren't Tianhai and the Five Elements Wildlands dangerous as well? With his strength, it wouldn't be easy to reach the True Morrow Continent, no matter which route he took.
The reason Mo Wu Ji chose the Lost Heaven Ruins route was because it was the shortest. If he entered the True Morrow Continent from Tianhai, with his cultivation and speed, even without getting lost along the way, it would probably take at least three to five years. If he entered the True Morrow Continent from the Five Elements Wildlands, the time required would be greatly reduced, but it would still take more than a year.
But according to the map, if he dared to cross the Lost Heaven Ruins and enter the True Morrow Continent, it would only take half a year.
After making the decision, Mo Wu Ji stopped hesitating and took out Jing Gu Mu's ring. As soon as he refined this ring, he would set off immediately.
A ring that would have taken months to refine in the past, now only took Mo Wu Ji a little over half a day to refine with his divine sense. This was not only because Mo Wu Ji's strength had skyrocketed, but also because Jing Gu Mu had been killed.
Seeing Jing Gu Mu's ring, Mo Wu Ji realized what a country bumpkin he was. There weren't many spiritual artifacts in Jing Gu Mu's ring, but all seven or eight of them were top-grade spiritual artifacts, and there was even a half-supreme spiritual artifact. Unfortunately, this half-supreme spiritual artifact was a hammer, which Mo Wu Ji had no interest in at all.
What puzzled Mo Wu Ji was that he didn't find a flying spiritual artifact in Jing Gu Mu's ring.
There were a lot of spirit stones in the ring, and they weren't counted in terms of numbers, but in terms of piles. Mo Wu Ji roughly estimated that there were at least ten to twenty million spirit stones.
The rest were all kinds of strange things, various refining materials he had only heard of, and all kinds of bizarre techniques...
There didn't seem to be many cultivation methods, but Mo Wu Ji casually flipped through them and found that they were all Mysterious Grade Excellent or above. Mo Wu Ji didn't see anything bad in this guy's ring.
After sorting everything out, Mo Wu Ji took out a palm-sized disc with several array flags inserted on it. The patterns crisscrossed, and looking at it for a while even made him feel dizzy.
When Mo Wu Ji observed this disc repeatedly, he suddenly became excited. This was an array disc, and it was an eighth-level array disc.
He couldn't refine an eighth-level array disc, let alone anyone on the Lost Continent. Not to mention the Lost Continent, Mo Wu Ji guessed that even in the True Morrow Continent, there were only a handful of people who could refine an eighth-level array disc.
After an incense stick of time, Mo Wu Ji finally figured out that this array disc was a concealment array disc.
He rummaged through Jing Gu Mu's ring and found many good things, but the only thing that really delighted Mo Wu Ji was this array disc.
Another hour passed, and Mo Wu Ji sacrificed the round ball spaceship he had already refined, turning it into a black line and rushing towards the depths of the Lost Heaven Ruins.
Only a few days after Mo Wu Ji left, a brown-haired man and a beautiful woman in a light green dress appeared beside the giant pit where the Azure Heart was located.
The brown-haired man stared blankly at the empty pit, unable to say a word for a long time.
"Tian Zhen, you said there was an Azure Heart here and asked me to help, why is it like this?" The man didn't speak for a long time, and it was the woman next to him who broke the silence.
The brown-haired man clenched his fists, making cracking sounds. After a long while, he said, "Because the Azure Heart has been refined and taken away."
This brown-haired man was none other than Fang Zhentian of the Heavenly Devil Sect. He had finally found a helper who could help him resist the Azure Heart, and then he would refine it. But when he actually came here, he found that good things didn't necessarily have to wait for him.
"Could it be Feng Zhe of the Great Evolution Sect?" the woman asked doubtfully.
Fang Zhentian shook his head. "It's not Feng Zhe. Even if Feng Zhe could find a way like me, it wouldn't be a matter of a day or two to refine this Azure Heart. When I started refining the Azure Heart, I always felt that there was a third person refining the Azure Heart besides Feng Zhe and me. At first, I thought it was my imagination, but now it seems it was true."
"Who is it then?" the woman asked in surprise.
"After leaving here, I didn't delay for long before returning. Feng Zhe was the same as me. At that time, only the five of us knew about the Azure Heart..." Fang Zhentian couldn't continue. The one he suspected the most was Mo Wu Ji.
But Mo Wu Ji was the least suspicious, because Mo Wu Ji's strength was only at the Yuan Dan Realm at the time. He, a True God Realm cultivator, almost got wiped out when he triggered the Azure Heart. A Yuan Dan Realm cultivator couldn't even trigger the Azure Heart, let alone refine it at the edge.
What's more, when he and Feng Zhe met, the Azure Heart had indeed not been triggered.
"Forget it, let's go. After we go back, we should help the Heavenly Mystery Sect more. Maybe this sect will be the number one sect in the Lost Continent in the future..." Fang Zhentian seemed to be explaining to the woman beside him, and also seemed to be muttering to himself.
Even though he felt it was unlikely to be Mo Wu Ji, he was still somewhat wary of Mo Wu Ji. A rogue cultivator could not only top the Hundred Sect Alliance's contribution points list, but also become the Sect Master of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, and then become the Alliance Leader of the Hundred Sect Alliance. If all of this was his luck, then the person behind him directly wiped out Human Immortal Gu Qi and several True God Realm cultivators, which couldn't be explained by luck.
Regardless of whether it was Mo Wu Ji or not, it wouldn't hurt to befriend the Heavenly Mystery Sect.
...
After flying along the map's route in the Lost Heaven Ruins for several days, Mo Wu Ji didn't encounter any danger, which relieved him.
This round spaceship was a bit ugly, but its speed was really amazing. Not only that, but the spaceship flew very smoothly. At this speed, he wouldn't even need half a year.
Before Mo Wu Ji could start calculating how long it would take to cross the Lost Heaven Ruins, a gust of wind swept over. In an instant, Mo Wu Ji's vision was filled with yellow sand.
The wind mixed with sand and stones directly swept Mo Wu Ji's round spaceship dozens of miles away. Mo Wu Ji didn't even bother to observe what was going on with the wind, and directly put away his spaceship magic weapon. At the same time, he took out the concealment array disc, opened the concealment array patterns in the disc, and completely concealed himself within the array disc.
Mo Wu Ji had seen demonic beasts undergoing tribulation, and he vaguely felt that this gust of wind was a bit strange, because he sensed a violent and murderous aura in the wind.
"Roar!" As expected, as soon as Mo Wu Ji had this thought, a violent roar came out. In this roar, even more violent wind and sand swept over, directly turning Mo Wu Ji into a spinning top and shooting him out.
Before being swept away, Mo Wu Ji vaguely saw two huge demonic beasts. The colors of these two demonic beasts were very light, but each one was dozens of feet tall. Their huge mouths were like lakes, and they were extremely gloomy.
"Boom!" The two demonic beasts finally collided together, and a strong stench and Yuan Qi exploded. Mo Wu Ji, who was originally like a spinning top, was impacted by this Yuan Qi and flew faster in the air.
Mo Wu Ji gasped. He was glad that he had obtained an eighth-level concealment array disc and opened it as soon as possible.
Because he recognized this kind of demonic beast, called the Gale Howler (Kuang Feng Hou). The Gale Howler was extremely large, and could spit out violent Yuan Qi wind and sand with its mouth open. Once it reached level seven or above, this Yuan Qi wind and sand would be difficult for even a True God Realm cultivator to resist. As for those below the Void God Realm, they had no resistance at all.
The Gale Howler also had a particularly bad habit, which was that it didn't allow any living things to exist within its sight. In other words, if Mo Wu Ji didn't have a concealment array disc, he would have been discovered by the Gale Howler long ago and directly swallowed. The Gale Howler's wind and sand were terrifying, and so was its power of suction. Don't look at Mo Wu Ji's Yuan Dan tenth level cultivation, the Gale Howler could easily suck him into its mouth from dozens of miles away.
The reason why so few people saw the Gale Howler was because most of the cultivators who saw it had been eaten by it.
"Boom boom boom!" The violent sand and stones collided together, and the Yuan Qi exploded again. Mo Wu Ji, who was constantly spinning in the wind, was swept away even more violently.
Mo Wu Ji allowed this violent wind to sweep him away, daring not to make the slightest movement. Within the Gale Howler's wind range, as long as he dared to use Yuan Qi, he would definitely be noticed by the Gale Howler.
The sound of the violent explosion grew farther and farther away, and the violent wind and sand around Mo Wu Ji finally subsided. Mo Wu Ji also fell to the ground.
Mo Wu Ji got up as quickly as possible, but he didn't immediately take out his spaceship to escape. He had heard that there were bound to be top-grade wind-type treasures wherever the Gale Howler appeared. Not only did the Gale Howler appear here, but there were also two extremely powerful Gale Howlers fighting. What kind of wind-type treasure would that be?
