Amidst the dual torment of his body and sea of consciousness, Mo Wuji unknowingly advanced from the fourth level of God Body to the fifth.

Upon reaching the fifth level, even without healing pills, Mo Wuji's surface wounds began to gradually recover.

Once the injuries on his body began to disappear, Mo Wuji's cultivation also started to grow rapidly.

Cultivation emphasizes the harmony of heaven and earth, leaving nothing out. A wounded body is a leak. No matter how much spiritual energy is absorbed, the progress in cultivation is limited.

Mo Wuji came into contact with the water of the Sword Qi River, where the immortal spiritual energy was ridiculously rich. Coupled with Mo Wuji's one hundred and eight meridians simultaneously circulating, forming a grand circulation, his speed of absorbing immortal spiritual energy could be described as terrifying.

Even so, his cultivation progress was still very slow, practically stagnant. Because his physical body was injured, and an injured physical body is a leak. Mo Wuji's reverse cultivation, modifying the Immortal Mortal Art, still relied on the laws of heaven and earth at the Dao level. As long as he hadn't surpassed this level of rules, he had no way to advance even with a leak.

He was different from many cultivators; most cultivators had a primordial spirit even if their physical body was destroyed. Mo Wuji didn't cultivate a primordial spirit.

When Mo Wuji's body refinement entered the fifth level of God Body and his body began to recover, his cultivation progress clearly accelerated. The rich immortal spiritual energy could now be converted into his immortal essence power.

Another half year passed, and when Mo Wuji stepped into the sixth level of God Body, his cultivation also entered the late stage of Grand Luo Immortal.

...

Not far from where Mo Wuji sat, a thin man was staring at Mo Wuji with a sinister smile. This man was Bai Ye, who had been severely injured by Mo Wuji.

It took Bai Ye nearly a year to barely recover most of his strength, still far from his original state. However, he believed his current strength was enough to kill Mo Wuji.

He didn't dare go to the desert Mo Wuji had arranged; Mo Wuji's trapping and killing array had left too deep an impression on him. If he wanted to kill Mo Wuji, he wouldn't dare do it on Mo Wuji's territory. He believed that as long as it was in other parts of Sword Prison, he had full confidence in killing Mo Wuji.

But then he was stunned. He discovered that Mo Wuji's feet were actually in the water of the Sword Qi River, and had been for a long time.

Bai Ye was very aware of the terror of the Sword Qi River. Not to mention staying in the river for as long as Mo Wuji, even a brief contact with the Sword Qi River water would severely injure him.

Could it be...?

Bai Ye gasped in cold air. He immediately realized his guess was correct. Mo Wuji must have advanced to God Body; he wasn't sure which level, though.

Then Bai Ye was overjoyed. Mo Wuji's body refinement technique was definitely much stronger than his. According to ancient records in the Immortal World, the strongest body refiners were the Wu Clan. Mo Wuji's cultivation shouldn't be high, but he was able to advance to God Body in a short time, so he must be cultivating a Wu Clan body refinement technique.

What if he obtained this body refinement technique? He could also enter God Body in a short time.

As for the Nirvana immortal object for advancing to God Body, what could be better than Mo Wuji's body? A God Body's physical body for his Nirvana was simply a treasure sent by the heavens.

Once he advanced to God Body, he would be confident in exploring the Sword Qi vortex or the Sword Qi River. Mo Wuji's cultivation was weak, but his cultivation was at the peak of the mid-stage Immortal Emperor.

If he found a way out, who would Bai Ye fear in the Immortal World?

Thinking of this, Bai Ye almost laughed out loud. Mo Wuji was currently in closed-door cultivation; he could kill him with a sneak attack.

Bai Ye forcibly calmed his excited emotions and slowly drew out his magical weapon. He needed to succeed with one strike and not give Mo Wuji any chance.

With each step, Bai Ye calculated the distance to Mo Wuji, calculating the success rate of his sneak attack.

In his eyes, his chances of success doubled with each step he took.

Just as Bai Ye was calculating how many steps were left to Mo Wuji, he suddenly stopped. He even forgot to put down his raised foot.

He stared blankly at Mo Wuji, his heart filled with fear. Mo Wuji, who had been sitting by the Sword Qi River, was slowly sinking into the river.

He was sure that Mo Wuji didn't enter the Sword Qi River out of fear after seeing him, but rather that Mo Wuji's body refinement had improved, which was why he entered the river.

"Phew!" After a long while, Bai Ye let out a long sigh and quickly turned and left. He knew he no longer had a chance to kill Mo Wuji. Even if Mo Wuji came out of the Sword Qi River, he wouldn't be qualified to kill him.

How terrifying was a cultivator who could enter the Sword Qi River? Bai Ye had stayed in Sword Prison for so many years, taking water from the Sword Qi River countless times. He knew better than anyone how terrifying Mo Wuji was now. Mo Wuji wasn't even afraid of the sword Qi of the Sword Qi River; would he be afraid of his current attack power?

...

"Puff!" A sword Qi that almost tore Mo Wuji's lungs apart struck Mo Wuji's chest. Mo Wuji spat out a mouthful of blood clots and flew backwards. Immersed in body refinement and cultivation, Mo Wuji was completely awakened.

Just as Mo Wuji was about to condense his spiritual eye, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his spiritual will could already penetrate outwards. He was at the bottom of the Sword Qi River, surrounded by water.

Entering the Sword Qi River, Mo Wuji wasn't completely ignorant; he was just completely immersed in the process of his cultivation skyrocketing.

"Puff!" Another sword Qi struck Mo Wuji's chest, and Mo Wuji flew backwards again.

This time, Mo Wuji instantly stabilized his body. He finally saw what was happening. He was only a dozen steps away from the long sword that was diagonally inserted into the bottom of the river, and that long sword was the source of the Sword Qi River's sword Qi. He had been too close before, which was why he was severely injured by the sword Qi. Even though he was now at the sixth level of God Body, approaching this long sword was still like being an ant.

Mo Wuji tried to get his spiritual will close to the long sword. As soon as he got close, his spiritual will was completely annihilated by the sword Qi. His spiritual will was cut off, and Mo Wuji endured the torment of spitting blood, retreating again.

When he was dozens of feet away from the long sword, Mo Wuji finally stabilized.

This long sword was definitely not something he could obtain with his current strength. Mo Wuji immediately corrected his mindset. Fortunately, he didn't cultivate the sword path; it didn't matter if he couldn't get this long sword.

Mo Wuji retreated another dozen feet before sitting down at the bottom of the river and continuing to cultivate.

Mo Wuji didn't know where the bottom of the Sword Qi River led. He felt that the immortal spiritual energy here was even richer than in the Immortal Spirit Vein Nest in Extreme Zea Sea. At least the level of immortal spiritual energy here was higher.

Since he had come here, how could he not make full use of the immortal spiritual energy? He was now in the late stage of Grand Luo Immortal. He would only consider leaving when he could advance to Immortal King at any time after cultivating to the Grand Luo Immortal realm.

Away from the long sword, Mo Wuji's cultivation began to improve rapidly. The rich immortal spiritual energy was enough for him to cultivate and absorb. Mo Wuji still used a large number of Rank 6 Immortal Pills to assist.

As a Pill Emperor, Mo Wuji knew that there were many side effects to using immortal pills to assist in cultivation at this time. He couldn't care about anything else; improving his cultivation surpassed everything.

Fortunately, he was still a Rank 6 God Body refining expert. As long as his cultivation reached the Grand Luo Immortal realm, he could get rid of some of the side effects of the pills through long-term body tempering.

Another three months passed, and Mo Wuji opened his eyes and threw a punch.

The surrounding Sword Qi River water directly cracked under his punch, and the sword Qi was also blasted into fragments by this punch.

At the same time, Mo Wuji's Grand Luo Immortal Domain stretched out, and the vortex domain directly condensed the surrounding Sword Qi River sword Qi in one place.

Within a radius of ten feet of his domain, there was no more sword Qi.

Mo Wuji turned his head and glanced at the long sword in the distance. If he had some more time, even just five or six years, he would be confident in advancing to the seventh level of God Body here. Unfortunately, he couldn't wait that long; he had to find a way out.

There was no silt at the bottom of the Sword Qi River, only hard rock. Mo Wuji ran at the bottom of the river without any obstruction.

His Grand Luo Immortal Domain was also not retracted, but always stretched out.

Only when his spiritual will could extend could he extend his domain. After constant tempering at the bottom of the Sword Qi River, Mo Wuji's spiritual will could now extend to a range of thirty feet. Within a range of ten feet of his domain, he could roll away all the sword Qi.

If he could really find a way out at the bottom of the Sword Qi River, then he would definitely take all the people from Ping Fan away. Except for him, the rest of the people would have to enter the Sword Qi River under the protection of his domain.

A day later, Mo Wuji stopped running at the bottom of the Sword Qi River. He felt that running aimlessly at the bottom of the Sword Qi River would not lead to a way out.

The bottom of the Sword Qi River seemed to be as boundless as the River of No Birth. His spiritual will was limited here. If he ran around aimlessly like this, he might not find a way out even after many years.

The person Mo Wuji thought of at this time was Bai Ye. If he wanted to find a way out under the Sword Qi River, only Bai Ye could do it.

This guy was good at heavenly secret deduction. In Mo Wuji's view, Bai Ye was more in line with the identity of a Heavenly Mystery Sect cultivator.

Mo Wuji did what he thought of. He rushed out of the Sword Qi River without hesitation. He wanted to capture Bai Ye and then let Bai Ye deduce where the way out at the bottom of the Sword Qi River was.

...

In a small stone forest in Sword Prison, Bai Ye was huddled under a vertical stone, his eyes somewhat frozen. He didn't know what he was thinking, neither refining his body nor cultivating. For the past few months, the scene of Mo Wuji entering the Sword Qi River had been flashing in his mind, making him both surprised and jealous.

"Bai Ye, you really know how to find a place. You've actually found such a good place." A sudden voice interrupted Bai Ye's thoughts. He suddenly stood up and looked in shock at Mo Wuji, who was walking over slowly.

"Sect Master Mo, you said you would let me go. Are you going to break your promise?" If he hadn't seen Mo Wuji enter the Sword Qi River, Bai Ye would have been pleasantly surprised to see Mo Wuji at this moment. But now, he was only filled with fear. He couldn't understand how Mo Wuji had found him.

Mo Wuji said indifferently, "I was planning to let you go, but a few months ago, you went to the Sword Qi River to try to sneak attack me. Don't forget that I have a very small amount of tolerance."

Bai Ye's mind buzzed. Mo Wuji was clearly in closed-door cultivation at the time. How did he know?
