Ku Ya's eyes were filled with gratitude as she said, "Thank you for asking me that."

Mo Wuji knew what Ku Ya meant. When they were rescuing Lou Chuanhe, only Ku Ya and Master Puzi hadn't gone. So, she and Master Puzi were both under suspicion. Mo Wuji gave her a celestial grit stone and even asked her that question, which meant he absolutely trusted her.

"Everyone here is one of us. You can speak freely," Mo Wuji nodded to Ku Ya, indicating that she didn't need to worry. He also knew that if Ku Ya had gone to rescue Lou Chuanhe with them, she definitely wouldn't have been like Tong Ye and the others, sneaking into Yingbian City and still being discovered.

Ku Ya hummed in agreement and said, "After I left the No Life River and went to Yingbian City, I found out that something had happened to everyone. I started investigating this matter and also looked for opportunities to save Suan Pan and the others. Later, I learned that only Master Puzi and I hadn't gone to Yingbian City, so I suspected Master Puzi."

Mo Wuji's heart skipped a beat. To tell the truth, he suspected Master Puzi the most. Because Master Puzi wanted the Immortal Ferry the most, and Master Puzi was also very clear about the celestial grit stones that their small team had obtained. Also, Ku Ya had discovered his traces in the Immortal Chasm. At that time, Master Puzi was more experienced and had a higher cultivation level than Ku Ya, and he was also in charge of controlling the entire Immortal Ferry, so he should have discovered him too.

If Master Puzi had discovered him, then his solo crossing of the Immortal Chasm to the Half Immortal Domain would no longer be a secret. In fact, someone did know that a Earth Immortal cultivator had crossed the Immortal Chasm to the Half Immortal Domain.

Now, the implication of Ku Ya's words seemed to be that Master Puzi had not betrayed their small team.

"Later, I discovered that Master Puzi had no reason to betray the team at all. Even if he betrayed the team, his only goal would be the Immortal Ferry. At that time, the Immortal Ferry was in Senior Brother Lou's hands, and Senior Brother Lou had already been imprisoned in Yingbian City. Even if Master Puzi informed on us, with his strength, it would be difficult for him to negotiate equally with Yingbian City to obtain the Immortal Ferry…"

Ku Ya didn't continue, but Mo Wuji understood her meaning. Ku Ya's deduction made sense, but Mo Wuji believed that a person like Master Puzi definitely had his own methods if he wanted to make a deal with Yingbian City. Now he wasn't sure if Master Puzi had betrayed the team, so he didn't speak.

Mo Wuji didn't say anything. Only a few of them knew that the Immortal Ferry was with Lou Chuanhe. In fact, after he obtained Luo Yun's ring, there was no Immortal Ferry inside. Luo Yun's ring contained a large pile of immortal spiritual herbs and ores, and piles of high-grade immortal crystals, but there was no Immortal Ferry at all.

"Brother Kou Yuan fell because of me. Whether or not Master Puzi informed on us, I will ask him face to face in the future. If he really did it, I, Lou Chuanhe, will risk everything to avenge Brother Kou Yuan." Lou Chuanhe also suspected Master Puzi in his heart.

Ku Ya hesitated slightly and said, "Whether Brother Kou Yuan has fallen or not is still unknown…"

Mo Wuji raised his hand to interrupt Ku Ya, "Let's end this matter here. Everyone, come with me to the Immortal Ascension Stairway at the bottom of the No Life River. After arriving in the Immortal World, the sky is high and the sea is wide. The most important thing is to increase our strength."

Mo Wuji knew that Ku Ya suspected Kou Yuan, but he believed that Kou Yuan was definitely not a traitor. Whether Kou Yuan had fallen or not, Kou Yuan would not be a traitor.

…

More than half a month later, everyone came to the black vortex again. Mo Wuji had been inside once and knew that the black vortex looked scary, even devouring divine sense, but in fact it was not very threatening.

Under Mo Wuji's leadership, everyone entered the black vortex.

"I've been to the Immortal Ascension Stairway in Yongying Corner. That Immortal Ascension Stairway was light gray, but this Immortal Ascension Stairway is actually golden," Han Qingru said immediately when she saw the Immortal Ascension Stairway that slanted upwards and exuded infinite immortal charm.

"Let me try it first," Suan Pan said, and took a step onto the Immortal Ascension Stairway.

Mo Wuji's divine sense wanted to follow Suan Pan to see how Suan Pan stepped onto the Immortal Ascension Stairway, but he soon realized that it was useless. His divine sense was also pushed away by the Immortal Ascension Stairway.

Suan Pan didn't walk fast on the Immortal Ascension Stairway. Even so, he quickly disappeared from Mo Wuji's sight, and soon even his aura completely disappeared.

"It seems that this is really the Immortal Ascension Stairway, and we can enter the Immortal World from here," Han Qingru said, looking at the disappeared Suan Pan.

"Junior Brother Mo, I'll go to the Immortal World first and wait for you to come over." Lou Chuanhe didn't hesitate at all. He knew Mo Wuji's ability very well. Whether it was in the Starry Sky Canyon or in the Half Immortal Domain, didn't Mo Wuji leave in the end?

Now, Mo Wuji will definitely leave Yongying Corner. He must go to the Immortal World to seize the time to cultivate, otherwise, he will not be able to keep up with this junior brother's footsteps at all.

"Senior Brother Mo, I'm going too." Ku Ya saluted Mo Wuji and followed Lou Chuanhe onto the Immortal Ascension Stairway.

After Ku Ya and Lou Chuanhe disappeared into the depths of the golden staircase, Tong Ye also came up to say goodbye.

After Tong Ye disappeared from the Immortal Ascension Stairway, Jia Qi hadn't even stepped onto the Immortal Ascension Stairway. Mo Wuji looked at Jia Qi with some doubt and asked, "Junior Sister Jia Qi, why don't you step onto the Immortal Ascension Stairway?"

Mo Wuji was the sect leader of the Heavenly Secret Sect, and Jia Qi called him senior brother, so he naturally couldn't call Jia Qi senior sister anymore.

Jia Qi hesitated and glanced at Han Qingru beside Mo Wuji. After a long while, she said, "Brother Mo, then I'm going to the Immortal World. It's just, it's just…"

After saying "it's just" a few times, Jia Qi finally sighed and bowed to Mo Wuji, "Brother Mo, I'm sorry."

After saying these words, she quickly turned around and stepped onto the Immortal Ascension Stairway.

Mo Wuji looked at Jia Qi who had disappeared on the Immortal Ascension Stairway and said with some doubt, "What does she have to be sorry about?"

Han Qingru suddenly said, "Could it be that she betrayed your small team?"

Mo Wuji shook his head, "No, Jia Qi has her own arrogance. She would never do such a thing. By the way, Senior Sister Qingru, you should also step onto the Immortal Ascension Stairway. I'll stay here to study for a while. I believe I'll be able to condense a celestial grit soon."

Mo Wuji wasn't bragging. He had the means to open up meridians for cultivation even without spiritual roots. Now that he was at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he didn't believe that he couldn't even condense a celestial grit. No matter how difficult it was to condense a celestial grit, was it more difficult than cultivating without spiritual roots?

"Junior Brother, if it weren't for you, I might have fallen long ago…"

Han Qingru seemed to want to say a few words to Mo Wuji, but after saying one sentence, she didn't know what to say. She simply took out a ring and handed it to Mo Wuji, "These are some spiritual herbs that I collected in the Hundred Flower Manor. They are all low-level spiritual herbs, and they are useless to me if I keep them by my side, so I'll give them to you."

Mo Wuji didn't stand on ceremony. He was preparing to learn how to refine immortal pills, and these low-level spiritual herbs were just right.

Seeing Mo Wuji put away the ring, Han Qingru fell silent again. After a full dozen breaths, she looked at Mo Wuji and said, "Junior Brother, I'll wait for you to come to the Immortal World."

After saying that, she turned around and quickly stepped onto the Immortal Ascension Stairway, and soon disappeared into the end of the Immortal Ascension Stairway like the others.

Mo Wuji shook his head and sent the ring into his Immortal World. He didn't try to climb this Immortal Ascension Stairway again. He had neither condensed a celestial grit nor had a Heavenly Immortal Domain. He would be pushed down by the Immortal Ascension Stairway as soon as he went up.

However, Mo Wuji didn't leave here. He didn't even go out, but chose a corner and entered the Immortal World.

At this moment, he had the rings of several Golden Immortals and a large pile of Heavenly Immortal rings. He was preparing to sort out all these things, and then learn the Dao of Pills. After he could refine immortal pills, he would turn all the low-level immortal spiritual herbs in his hands into immortal pills, and then try to condense a celestial grit.
