Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 471 No Domain
In just half a month, no matter how powerful the immortal lattice stone fusion was, it wouldn't be able to fuse much. The fewer immortal lattice stones Mo Wuji fused, the weaker the immortal lattice he condensed, far inferior to hers.
She had spent the better part of half a year condensing her immortal lattice. At her speed, half a year was only enough to fuse more than 600,000 immortal lattice stones. How much could Mo Wuji fuse in just half a month? It was easy to imagine.
"By the way, Senior Sister Qingru, I wanted to ask if you know about the Tower of Gods?" Mo Wuji suddenly remembered the deal he made with the white-bearded fisherman from Wentian Academy.
Han Qingru looked a little dazed. "I don't know. What's wrong, Junior Brother?"
"It's nothing. By the way, do you have to condense an immortal lattice to climb the Immortal Ascension Ladder?" Mo Wuji guessed that this matter might still be related to the Immortal World and not much to do with Yongying Corner. As for the Half-Moon Prison, Mo Wuji didn't even ask. He was sure Han Qingru wouldn't know about it.
Han Qingru nodded. "Of course. The Immortal Ascension Ladder is a law of Heaven. Unless you were born in the Immortal World, you can't step onto the Immortal Ascension Ladder without condensing an immortal lattice."
"In that case, I'll send Senior Sister to the Immortal Ascension Ladder first," Mo Wuji said suddenly.
Han Qingru looked at Mo Wuji and asked with some confusion, "Junior Brother, you're sending me? Aren't you going to climb the Immortal Ascension Ladder with me?"
Mo Wuji said awkwardly, "I have a few friends here, all of whom came from the Half-Immortal Domain. Some of the immortal lattice stones I have belong to them. I want to give them the immortal lattice stones that belong to them, otherwise they won't even be able to condense an immortal lattice."
"Of course I'm going with you," Han Qingru replied matter-of-factly.
Just as Mo Wuji was about to speak, his spiritual sense swept over a familiar figure flashing by.
Was that Tong Ye? Seeing the shadow disappear into his spiritual sense, Mo Wuji didn't have time to chase after it before two more figures followed the previous shadow.
"I ran into an acquaintance," Mo Wuji said, activating his Wind Evasion Technique and chasing after them.
Seeing Mo Wuji running away, Han Qingru quickly followed behind him. Her speed was far inferior to Mo Wuji's, but she could at least keep track of his direction.
Half an hour later, Tong Ye stopped. His spiritual sense had detected Mo Wuji's approach.
"Why aren't you running anymore?" The two people chasing Tong Ye were both late-stage Heavenly Immortals. Seeing Tong Ye stop, they surrounded him, trapping him in the middle.
Tong Ye took out a Rising Dragon Scepter, but stared at the direction the two had come from.
"Brother Mo, is that really you?" Mo Wuji's Wind Evasion Technique was extremely fast, and he arrived in an instant. After confirming that it was Mo Wuji, Tong Ye exclaimed with great joy.
The two Heavenly Immortal cultivators who had stopped Tong Ye both stared warily at Mo Wuji. They had naturally noticed Mo Wuji following them. They were confident that no matter who Mo Wuji was, he wouldn't dare interfere in their affairs. Now that they saw Mo Wuji knew Tong Ye, their expressions turned ugly.
"Brother Tong, it's only been a short time, congratulations on advancing to Heavenly Immortal," Mo Wuji said with a smile. Tong Ye's immortal essence was strong, indicating that he had advanced to Heavenly Immortal. Not only had he advanced, but he had also transformed his immortal essence.
"I thought…" Tong Ye was genuinely surprised. He had long thought that Mo Wuji had fallen in the Immortal Abyss. He didn't expect that Mo Wuji hadn't fallen but was actually doing well.
Mo Wuji waved his hand. "We'll talk about that later."
Among the two cultivators chasing Tong Ye, a dark-skinned man clasped his fists at Mo Wuji and said, "Fellow cultivator, this man is a stowaway from the Half-Immortal Domain. We represent the Yongying Immortal Domain and must take him away. Please don't interfere."
Mo Wuji sneered, "I'm also from the Half-Immortal Domain. Are you going to take me away too?"
The two cultivators chasing Tong Ye exchanged glances upon hearing Mo Wuji's words. They immediately stepped aside again, blocking Mo Wuji as well.
The reason they hadn't acted immediately was because they knew another person was coming.
A moment later, Han Qingru arrived at Mo Wuji's side. Even though Mo Wuji hadn't explained, she could see the situation clearly. Before Mo Wuji could take out his magical treasure, she took out her own.
"Attack…" The dark-faced cultivator saw Han Qingru's stance and knew that she would definitely not stand idly by. After saying "Attack," a several-zhang-long whip rose up and lashed towards Mo Wuji. The other cultivator rushed towards Han Qingru and Tong Ye.
It was clear that the two had already planned it out. In their eyes, Mo Wuji's cultivation was probably the weakest, while Han Qingru's strength was the strongest.
Han Qingru had condensed an immortal lattice, and her aura was powerful. Tong Ye had cultivated for many years in the Half-Immortal Domain, and his advancement to Heavenly Immortal here was a natural occurrence. Mo Wuji looked the youngest, and his aura was ordinary and unremarkable, so he was considered the weakest.
The dark-faced cultivator wanted to kill Mo Wuji first, then the two of them would join forces to deal with Han Qingru and Tong Ye.
Mo Wuji didn't summon his Heavenly Machine Staff, not only because the Vatian Staff Shadow couldn't keep up with his cultivation, but also because he felt that the Heavenly Machine Staff wasn't suitable as his magical treasure when he fought the Ji brothers last time.
He had clear grudges and a straightforward fighting style. For him, the best magical treasures were those that were sharp and revealed their power, such as spears, axes, and sabers. Swords were too gentle for his liking, and he didn't enjoy fighting with them.
The dark-faced cultivator's whip was like a flood dragon, with a series of dragon roars locking onto Mo Wuji's path. A powerful domain expanded, and Mo Wuji immediately noticed it.
When Ji Yan used his domain to lock onto him, Mo Wuji felt like he was stuck in a swamp and had great difficulty moving. But now, even though it was still a domain, and the dark-faced cultivator's domain was even stronger than Ji Yan's, Mo Wuji took a step forward easily, without any impact, and threw a punch.
"Boom!" A flame aura that could almost burn space shot out, and the domain that had little effect on Mo Wuji shattered inch by inch.
A powerful flame constraint came, and the dark-faced cultivator's expression changed drastically.
"Heavenly Fire Divine Ability?" The dark-faced cultivator's body twisted constantly as he tried to break free from Mo Wuji's Heavenly Fire Divine Ability. But he realized it too late. Mo Wuji's punch had already pierced through his chest.
"Pfft!" Blood mist spewed out, and his body gradually cracked.
"Snap!" Only now did the dark-faced cultivator's whip hit Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji didn't care about the whip at all when he attacked. Besides being confident in his Heavenly Fire Divine Ability, he also wanted to end the battle quickly.
Mo Wuji's clothes were torn directly by the whip, and a bloody groove appeared on his back. Mo Wuji frowned, but didn't heal himself.
The whip's power was weakened because of the dark-faced cultivator's death, and it didn't have much impact on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji frowned because he was also a Heavenly Immortal cultivator, but he hadn't comprehended the power of the domain.
The only difference was that Ji Zhao could use his domain to restrain him before, but the dark-faced cultivator's domain couldn't restrain him. But this didn't change the fact that he didn't have a domain. If he had a domain, with his strength, he could have easily killed the opponent without even getting injured.
Seeing his companion being killed by Mo Wuji with one punch, the other Heavenly Immortal cultivator was terrified. He had no intention of continuing to fight and turned to flee.
Han Qingru's strength was already stronger than his. He had just turned around when he was restrained by Han Qingru's domain, and Tong Ye's Rising Dragon Scepter pierced through his neck.
"Brother Mo, you really advanced to Heavenly Immortal," Tong Ye said happily.
He wasn't surprised that Mo Wuji instantly killed a late-stage Heavenly Immortal. He knew Mo Wuji's heaven-defying abilities very well. Mo Wuji's cultivation was considered the lowest in the Half-Immortal Domain, but his strength swept the entire Half-Immortal Domain. Now that he had advanced to Heavenly Immortal, killing an ordinary Heavenly Immortal cultivator wouldn't require much effort.
Mo Wuji raised his hand and grabbed the dark-faced cultivator's ring. "Brother Tong, what exactly is going on? Is there a difference between cultivators from the Half-Immortal Domain and cultivators from Yongying Corner?"
Tong Ye put away the other ring and handed it to Han Qingru. Han Qingru quickly refused.
"You should keep the ring. This is Han Qingru. Senior Sister Qingru, this is Tong Ye. He and I came from the Half-Immortal Domain. Brother Tong, tell us what's going on." Mo Wuji stopped Tong Ye from handing the ring to Han Qingru and briefly introduced the two.
Tong Ye didn't stand on ceremony. He bowed to Han Qingru and then put away the ring. "Actually, I don't know what's going on. After we crossed the Immortal Abyss, everyone discussed it and decided to leave each other's communication information, and then temporarily separate. The Immortal Crossing Battleship is kept by Lou Chuanhe…"
Mo Wuji summoned a flying ship. "We'll talk as we go. This isn't a place to stay for long."
After Tong Ye and Han Qingru boarded the flying ship, Mo Wuji drove the ship and felt that he was a bit too suspicious. He thought that Master Pu Zi would offer to keep the Immortal Crossing Battleship, but it turned out that Lou Chuanhe kept it. He felt that Master Pu Zi's partnership with him was more about profit, while the others had some feelings of friendship.
"At that time, my brother and I left together. I saw Senior Brother Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi leave together. Suan Pan and Ku Ya were together, and Kou Yuan and Master Pu Zi left separately…"
Mo Wuji didn't ask where Tong Sheng went. He believed that Tong Ye would explain it.
Sure enough, Tong Ye continued, "My brother and I had both reached the peak of Earth Immortal, and we were only lacking an environment to overcome the tribulation. As soon as we arrived in the Half-Immortal Domain, we felt the thunder tribulation without much closed-door cultivation, and we successfully overcame the tribulation in a remote place. After my brother and I both succeeded, we received information from Senior Sister Jia Qi. She and Senior Brother Chuanhe were being chased by people from the Yongying Immortal Domain, and Senior Brother Chuanhe was captured…"
(That's all for today's update, friends, good night. I'm not feeling well, so please give me some recommendations.)
