Chapter 428 A New Net That Will Make Mo Wuji Regret
These two men, like Mo Wuji before, had a ring of flames surrounding them. Both were tall and had similar features, clearly brothers. The most obvious difference was that the one speaking was slightly fatter, while the one being called "brother" was slightly thinner.
"This is definitely a top-tier genius. If he also reaches the Perfection of Earth Immortal, I estimate it won't be long before he undergoes tribulation here to advance to Heaven Immortal," the brother replied.
"I really wonder how this guy got here? Even if he can set up a protective formation, he can't just suddenly appear in this location, right? This is the deepest part of the Death Mineral Area," the slightly fatter younger brother frowned.
"How many times have I told you? Don't think we're so great. Yes, we were incredibly fortunate to obtain the Heart Fire Seed. But the universe is vast, and we're not the only ones with good fortune. This guy can get here; can you be sure he doesn't have his own flames, or other methods? Besides, his formation skills are far superior to ours. At least, we can't set up this kind of formation." The older brother's tone carried a hint of instruction.
The younger brother, seemingly used to being lectured, said nonchalantly, "Brother, do you think we should say hello to this guy? He's hiding here to cultivate, so he must be afraid to go to the Half-Immortal Domain. There's strength in numbers. We've mined quite a few Blackstones here, but what's the point of piling them up here?"
The older brother pondered for a moment, then nodded. "You're right. We shouldn't disturb his cultivation. Let's set up a simple protective formation outside and build a cave dwelling to cultivate. This place has few Colorless Leeches. We'll wait for him to emerge from seclusion here. If we get along, we can team up. If not, we'll leave."
...
As time passed, the spirit stones around Mo Wuji turned to dust one by one.
Human Immortal Stage Ten...
Human Immortal Stage Eleven...
When the last thousand broken spirit stones that Mo Wuji threw out were drained of spiritual energy and turned to dust, Mo Wuji's cultivation effortlessly broke through to Human Immortal Stage Twelve.
Without hesitation, Mo Wuji grabbed out all the remaining broken spirit stones. At this moment, the reverse circulation of his 106 meridians had formed a broader Great Cycle.
Originally, a broken spirit stone would take some time to shatter, but as Mo Wuji's reverse Great Cycle formed, the broken spirit stones around him shattered like bubbles in rapid succession.
Human Immortal Stage Twelve Mid-Phase, Human Immortal Stage Twelve Late-Phase...
"Boom!" As if something had been unlocked, Mo Wuji felt his entire body become clear and transparent. The speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy increased more than twofold.
Human Immortal Stage Twelve Perfection, the 107th meridian was blasted open.
"Crack, crack, crack, crack!" In that instant, the broken spirit stones around Mo Wuji shattered simultaneously, turning into a cloud of dust.
Mo Wuji suddenly rushed out of his secluded cave, leaving the protective formation he was in.
In the next moment, booming sounds echoed in the sky above the Death Mineral Area.
"Boom! Crack, crack, crack, crack!" A dozen arcs of lightning descended rapidly, rushing toward Mo Wuji, who had just emerged from the protective formation.
...
"Brother, this guy is actually undergoing the Heaven Immortal Lightning Tribulation here? Isn't he afraid that people from the Immortal Realm will come?" The two cultivators who had remained outside Mo Wuji's protective formation stared in shock at Mo Wuji beneath the arcs of lightning that filled the sky.
The slightly thinner older brother shook his head. "Maybe he's hoping to enter the Immortal Realm this way. Isn't it said that as long as you undergo tribulation and advance to Heaven Immortal, you have a chance to enter the Immortal Realm?"
"Brother Boqin told us that the Immortal Realm doesn't have good intentions when they take away cultivators who have passed the Heaven Immortal Lightning Tribulation."
"Who knows if they don't have good intentions? If it weren't for Brother Boqin, we wouldn't know that either." The slightly thinner cultivator shook his head again.
"Then should we tell him this news?" The younger brother looked at the arcs of lightning filling the sky, feeling somewhat shaken. The power of this tribulation was too terrifying.
"Wait, this lightning tribulation doesn't seem like a Heaven Immortal Lightning Tribulation? Could it be that this guy is undergoing the Earth Immortal Lightning Tribulation? That's a bit outrageous." The older brother vaguely sensed the strangeness of Mo Wuji's lightning tribulation.
The slightly fatter younger brother also sensed the difference. After watching for a while, he continued, "Brother, if this is the Earth Immortal Lightning Tribulation... then what was our Earth Immortal Lightning Tribulation?"
The two brothers possessed the Heart Fire Seed, so their Earth Immortal Lightning Tribulation had been much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators. Now they discovered that Mo Wuji's lightning tribulation was even stronger than theirs, no, it should be said that it was several times stronger.
"Let's wait for him to finish undergoing tribulation here and then go up and make friends. This guy is not simple. In any case, let's tell him what Brother Boqin said." As the arcs of lightning covering Mo Wuji became increasingly dense, the older brother's expression became more and more grave.
...
Such a grand tribulation attracted the attention of Master Pu Zi, who was inside the warship, not to mention Jia Qi and Lou Chuanhe, who were mining Blackstones outside.
"Junior Brother Mo is undergoing the Earth Immortal Lightning Tribulation..." Lou Chuanhe was the first to rush out of the pile of minerals. This Black Stone mine was too big, and the Black Stones were extremely difficult to mine. He and Jia Qi had been mining for more than a year, but they still hadn't finished mining all the Black Stones here.
Apart from their initial excitement, mining the Black Stones had become tedious.
"Master Pu Zi, is your warship completely refined?" Jia Qi also rushed out. Even precious things would become less precious after a certain amount. Moreover, so far, they only knew that Black Stones could be exchanged for broken spirit stones and Solvent Wood Pills.
"It's basically done. Is Dao Friend Mo's lightning tribulation a Heaven Immortal Lightning Tribulation? It's a bit too powerful, isn't it?" Master Pu Zi replied casually to Jia Qi before staring at Mo Wuji's lightning tribulation in amazement.
"Oh, when did these people come here?" Only at this moment did Master Pu Zi notice the two brothers watching Mo Wuji's lightning tribulation outside.
Lou Chuanhe smiled and said, "Master Pu Zi, these two have been here for almost a year. I think they should be waiting for Junior Brother Mo to emerge from seclusion. I don't think they have any ill intentions..."
Mo Wuji's protective formation also had a concealment formation, so people outside couldn't see the situation inside the protective formation clearly, but those inside could clearly see the situation outside.
"..." Master Pu Zi acted as if he hadn't heard Lou Chuanhe's words and suddenly rushed to the place where Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi were mining Blackstones.
For a year, he had focused his attention on the warship and hadn't paid attention to the situation outside at all. At this moment, seeing the location of the Black Stone mine, he was more than shocked.
"Brother Pu Zi, the amount of Black Stone here is astonishing. Senior Brother Lou and I have been mining for more than a year and haven't finished. I don't know how much there is here," Jia Qi came to Master Pu Zi's side and explained.
Master Pu Zi stared at the Black Stone mine in front of him. After a long time, he said, "How amazing."
Jia Qi didn't speak. She understood what Master Pu Zi meant. He wasn't saying that she and Lou Chuanhe were amazing, but that Mo Wuji was amazing.
"Let's go and see Dao Friend Mo undergoing tribulation first." Master Pu Zi's words suddenly became high-spirited. At this moment, his confidence was even greater than when he had refined the warship.
In just over a year, Mo Wuji could advance from Human Immortal to Earth Immortal. Even if he had been at the peak of Human Immortal, it was not a simple matter to welcome the Earth Immortal Lightning Tribulation in a year.
Mo Wuji was so powerful at the Human Immortal Stage. He wanted to know how powerful Mo Wuji had become after advancing to the Earth Immortal Stage.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The thick, dense arcs of lightning left the three of them completely stunned. If Mo Wuji's lightning tribulation arcs had been strong before, it could still be understood. But now, the lightning tribulation arcs that Mo Wuji was facing completely exceeded the three of their imaginations.
"Is this the Heaven Immortal Lightning Tribulation?" Lou Chuanhe said in astonishment. He had also experienced the Earth Immortal Lightning Tribulation. Compared to Mo Wuji's, his Earth Immortal Lightning Tribulation was completely incomparable.
Master Pu Zi said solemnly, "No, Dao Friend Mo is still undergoing the Earth Immortal Lightning Tribulation. I have also seen the Heaven Immortal Lightning Tribulation once, and it's not like this. It's not that the intensity is not enough, but that it lacks a kind of Immortal Dao rhyme falling down."
"Too strong," Jia Qi sighed. If she had faced this kind of lightning tribulation, she probably wouldn't have been able to survive it.
...
Mo Wuji's lightning tribulation seemed endless, wave after wave. The dense arcs of lightning almost completely enveloped him. This didn't pose any fatal threat to Mo Wuji. At most, it would only injure his bones and muscles, and the spiritual energy rolled down by the lightning tribulation quickly replenished his losses. He was also rushing towards the Earth Immortal realm at the fastest speed.
"Crack, crack, crack!" As more than a dozen thick arcs of lightning completely landed on Mo Wuji, the cultivation bottleneck that had been stuck at the Human Immortal Stage was broken at this moment, and Mo Wuji's strength soared.
The surrounding spiritual energy was frantically absorbed by Mo Wuji, and his Earth Immortal realm also quickly stabilized. Seeming to sense that Mo Wuji had broken through the shackles and advanced to Earth Immortal, the lightning tribulation arcs finally slowed down, and there was no more of the initial frenzy.
At this moment, Mo Wuji clenched his fists, even forgetting to continue stabilizing his cultivation. The use of the 107th meridian made him both excited and regretful.
The 107th meridian was actually a vitality meridian, which could possess unlimited vitality. Even if he fell, as long as the vitality meridian was still there, he would have the opportunity to continue living. That's right, he didn't have a primordial spirit. Once his body fell, he would completely fall. But now it was different. He had an extra vitality meridian, which was even more powerful than a primordial spirit.
What he regretted was not being able to open the vitality meridian a day earlier. If he had opened the vitality meridian a few years earlier, how could Shuyin have fallen? With the vitality meridian, he could have saved her before Shuyin's spiritual soul shattered. Now, he could only regret it.
At this moment, the last arc of lightning also disappeared. Sensing Mo Wuji's powerful aura, even if Mo Wuji didn't have the Heavenly Fire Shield at this moment, and there were no Colorless Leeches around, none of them dared to approach.
