Chapter 284: Crisis in the Lost Heaven Ruins
Mo Wuji immediately followed the direction the wind and sand had come from, searching all the way. In less than half an incense stick's time, he found a hillside with extremely rich spiritual energy. The hillside wasn't steep, and it was lush green all over, which contrasted sharply with the desolate Lost Heaven Ruins.
But there was nothing here? Mo Wuji was afraid he had misseen it, so he scanned the hillside with his spiritual will again and again, even penetrating into the ground. But he indeed didn't find anything. If there was anything different, it was that there were two huge rocks on the hillside, and there was a temporary cave dwelling built on the side of the rocks.
Without asking, this cave dwelling belonged to one of the Kuang Fenghou.
Since this place had already been occupied by one Kuang Fenghou, and another Kuang Fenghou had come to snatch something, it meant that this thing was truly extraordinary.
The roar of the wild wind came again from afar, and it seemed that it wouldn't be long before that Kuang Fenghou returned.
Mo Wuji sacrificed his circular flying ship. Since he couldn't find it, it meant he had no fate with it. It was better to leave as soon as possible, lest he wouldn't be able to leave if that Kuang Fenghou returned.
But why was the Kuang Fenghou's cave built on the side of two giant rocks? Before leaving, Mo Wuji still took a look at the middle of the two giant rocks, and he saw a pale gray small grass.
This small grass was too ordinary, only half a foot tall, without branches. Or rather, this wasn't a grass at all, but a blade of grass. Because the top of the grass grew in the form of leaves.
This small grass didn't have the slightest aura of a spiritual herb, nor did it look like a spiritual herb at all. The reason Mo Wuji noticed it was because the weeds around this pale gray small grass had been pulled out, and only this one seemed lonely and also very abrupt.
Could it be that this inconspicuous thing, even like a weed, was a treasure?
The roar in the distance was getting closer and closer, and Mo Wuji couldn't think too much. Whether it was a treasure or not, he would take it away first.
Mo Wuji dug up this small grass at the fastest speed and sent it into a jade box. He quickly entered the circular flying ship, and the next moment the flying ship turned into a black line and disappeared into the distance.
Several minutes later, Mo Wuji heard the Kuang Fenghou's furious and crazy voice. The rage was as if someone had snatched away its wife.
Could it be that the small grass he dug up was really a treasure? Mo Wuji took out that small grass again. The pale gray color was plain and unremarkable, without any abruptness or rarity. The only rare thing was that this small grass was covered with some strange纹路 (wén lù - patterns).
After looking at the small grass for a full half an hour, Mo Wuji helplessly put this small grass back into his ring. He really couldn't see what made this small grass precious and rare.
Having experienced the Kuang Fenghou incident, Mo Wuji was even more careful. He didn't dare to cultivate, he could only study Chu Xingzi's array Dao while driving the flying ship forward.
Even with such vigilance, after flying for half a month, he was still targeted by a huge demon beast.
This time, what targeted him was a flying demon beast, which looked somewhat similar to an owl. Its two eyes were like two big lanterns, and its size was several times larger than his flying ship magic treasure.
At first, Mo Wuji wanted to avoid this huge flying demon beast. Before he could turn his flying ship, a huge wing slapped over.
After a blur of vision, Mo Wuji's flying ship was slapped straight down by this huge wing. If the defensive restrictions of this flying ship magic treasure weren't quite good, his flying ship would have fallen apart with just this one blow.
Mo Wuji was in a hurry, and all his spiritual will was added to the flying ship, forcibly turning the flying ship around and rushing out diagonally.
Seeing that Mo Wuji hadn't been slapped down by its wing, the flying demon beast followed up and chased after him, with no intention of letting Mo Wuji go.
Mo Wuji almost filled all the spirit stone slots of the flying ship with Earth grade spirit stones, and he himself also controlled the flying ship to rush forward with all his strength.
Even so, he still couldn't shake off the flying demon beast behind him. The demon beast didn't know what hatred it had with him, and it tightly followed Mo Wuji's flying ship. It seemed that it wouldn't give up until it chased Mo Wuji down.
Fortunately, although Mo Wuji couldn't get rid of this flying demon beast, he wasn't being caught up by the flying demon beast either.
After running for several days, Mo Wuji had originally planned to slow down a bit, wait for the demon beast to come over, and give it a few thunderballs. However, thinking of the demon beast's powerful strength, he still didn't dare to take this risk. With his Yuan Dan realm cultivation, he was afraid that before he could blast out the thunder arcs, he would be killed by the demon beast.
There was no choice but to continue running.
Two days later, Mo Wuji was pleasantly surprised to find that the flying demon beast that had been chasing him suddenly disappeared.
Before Mo Wuji could be happy, his flying ship was pulled by a terrifying force and plunged down again.
Mo Wuji's spiritual will instantly swept out. This time it wasn't a demon beast, but the suction from the ground. He was in an boundless swamp, and the suction came from the swamp.
The suction was getting bigger and bigger, and even if Mo Wuji controlled the flying ship to go up again, he couldn't avoid this terrifying and boundless suction.
Mo Wuji simply put away the flying ship, and his whole person fell from the air.
With a "poof" sound, Mo Wuji was directly submerged in the silt of the swamp.
At first, Mo Wuji thought it was because the flying ship couldn't resist the suction, but now that he had fallen into the swamp, he understood that even without the flying ship, he was still being sucked down by the suction, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
Any further down, he would either be suffocated or crushed to death by the endless swamp pressure. Mo Wuji's body was filled with Yuan Qi, and finally stopped the trend of continuing to sink.
He carefully crawled upwards slowly. At first, every time he crawled up a little, he would quickly sink down again. Later, Mo Wuji gradually mastered the method, and with the cooperation of his spiritual will and the activation of his Yuan Qi, the speed of climbing up also increased a lot.
With his cultivation, he might not be suffocated to death in this swamp for half a year or a year, but if he couldn't climb up, he would still be suffocated to death sooner or later. A cultivator who was about to step into the True Lake realm being suffocated to death in a swamp would really be a joke.
Several days later, Mo Wuji was even more relaxed, and began to climb upwards while cultivating. He cultivated the Immortal Mortal Art in reverse according to his modified cultivation method, and his cultivation progressed quite a bit. Moreover, with the reverse cultivation method, his climbing speed was even faster.
The spiritual energy below this swamp was not only very abundant and rich, but also very pure.
Cultivating while climbing upwards, Mo Wuji was no longer as anxious as before.
Even at the fastest speed, the speed of climbing up was far less than the speed of sinking down like a shooting star at the beginning. After climbing for seven or eight days, when Mo Wuji felt a light in front of him, he knew that he should have climbed up again.
Before Mo Wuji's whole person could rush up, his two ankles were suddenly entangled by something, and the next moment a more powerful force came from his ankles. Mo Wuji, who had already climbed up the swamp, was pulled down again at the first time.
Having been trapped in the swamp for so many days, even if he was suddenly entangled and pulled down, Mo Wuji was extremely calm. His spiritual will swept down, and what was entangling his ankles seemed to be two vines or something like that.
Seeing that this force didn't know where it was going to drag him, Mo Wuji, in desperation, instantly covered his ankles with the Azure Underworld Heart in his Zi Fu.
A violent tremor came from underground, and the things that bound Mo Wuji's ankles were instantly turned into ashes by the Azure Underworld Heart and disappeared. Mo Wuji's whole person loosened, and he also accelerated his speed to struggle out of the swamp.
When he burned off the vines at his ankles with the Azure Underworld Heart just now, he felt that the thing was not simple. Otherwise, it wouldn't have caused such a violent tremor around.
Estimating that it was frightened by Mo Wuji's flames, another day passed, and when Mo Wuji struggled out of the swamp again, the things that entangled his ankles didn't appear again.
Mo Wuji lay on the surface of the swamp, looking around, everywhere was swamp, and the sky was also a hazy gray. There was no direction at all, no east, west, south, or north.
After hesitating for a moment, Mo Wuji sacrificed a Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact flying ship. He wanted to try if he could use the Spiritual Artifact flying ship as an ordinary boat, at least not sink in this swamp.
But Mo Wuji was quickly disappointed. His Spiritual Artifact flying ship sank quickly as soon as it was taken out. Mo Wuji didn't even have a chance to put it away.
Looking at the same scenery all around, Mo Wuji helplessly chose a direction based on his feelings. He decided to cultivate while moving forward. He had experienced too many things since he began cultivating. He had opened up one hundred and two meridians, and cultivating while moving forward was not impossible.
Perhaps he was the only one, Mo Wuji, who was constantly on the road while constantly cultivating.
……
Lost Ruins (Luoxu), this place looked more like a temporary market. Everywhere were messy buildings and some scattered stalls, which made people think that this place had not been formed for long.
In fact, the time Lost Ruins was formed on True Morrow Continent was even longer than some large cultivation cities. Over the years, the reason why Lost Ruins still had not formed a real city, in addition to the thin spiritual energy here and its remote location, was also because few people would live here for a long time.
Since no one lived in Lost Ruins for a long time and the spiritual energy was thin, it stands to reason that very few people would come here. The fact was not the case. Lost Ruins never lacked people coming.
Because Lost Ruins was on the edge of the Lost Heaven Ruins. Looking at the vast True Morrow Continent, there were really few places like Lost Ruins that were easy to hide and escape. That's right, the existence of Lost Ruins was to escape from enemies. On True Morrow Continent, almost half of the cultivators would hide in Lost Ruins when they were being hunted down by enemies.
