Ten days later, Mo Wuji knew how arrogant and ridiculous he had been to agree to bring Liu Ruoting back to the Nine Evolutions God Sect. Over those ten days, every time they passed through a teleportation array, the three of them had to pay a huge amount of God Crystals. He personally witnessed Xi Nianmo handing over piles and piles of God Crystals.

If it wasn't for Liu Ruoting relying on Xi Nianmo's wealth, Mo Wuji was sure he wouldn't have been able to bring Liu Ruoting back to the Nine Evolutions God Sect.

He had seen along the way that whether it was passing through teleportation array stations or through major God Cities, earning God Crystals didn't seem easy.

Even setting up a stall to sell divine spiritual herbs, wanting to earn enough God Crystals to pass through a single teleportation array required long-term accumulation. In the short term, don't even think about earning enough God Crystals to bring Liu Ruoting back to the Nine Evolutions God Sect. Perhaps he could sell his sea of consciousness Mind Crystals, but Mo Wuji knew that with his current strength, selling Mind Crystals would only make him a dead soul under someone else's control.

He wasn't exactly sending Liu Ruoting back; instead, he was taking advantage of Liu Ruoting's light, allowing Liu Ruoting and Xi Nianmo to bring him to the Nine Evolutions God Sect.

Mo Wuji originally wanted to ask Liu Ruoting why she had brought him along. Because Liu Ruoting didn't need to bring him at all; she could have just brought Xi Nianmo back. In the end, he held back. Firstly, he was already seen as intellectually impaired in front of Xi Nianmo, and secondly, he believed that someone as scheming as Liu Ruoting would never do anything without a purpose, and would never help him for no reason.

Since she had brought him along, she must have her own reasons.

Several more days passed, and Liu Ruoting, with an increasingly pale face, brought Xi Nianmo and Mo Wuji to a huge plaza entirely built of white jade.

Although the plaza was very spacious, it was still crowded with people.

Mo Wuji saw that something seemed to be being tested in the middle of the plaza, and many people were queuing up, with more than one line.

Liu Ruoting took out a flying sword and shot it out. In just a few breaths, a figure landed in front of Mo Wuji and the others.

"Senior Sister Ruoting, what's wrong?" The one who spoke was a young man in crimson robes, extremely handsome, and his tone carried a hint of concern.

Liu Ruoting gasped for a few breaths and said, "Junior Brother Xing Teng, these two sent me back. Please help me arrange for them to enter the sect, preferably as outer disciples. I'm having some health problems and need to see my master now..."

"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I'll definitely arrange it properly," the crimson-robed man said with a very confident smile.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Xing Teng." After thanking him, Liu Ruoting said to Mo Wuji and Xi Nianmo, "Thank you for sending me back. I'm going to see my master and will thank you properly in the future."

After saying that, Liu Ruoting quickly left, disappearing soon after.

After Liu Ruoting left, the smile on the crimson-robed man's face vanished. He nodded to Mo Wuji and Xi Nianmo and said, "My name is Lu Xing Teng, and I have the utmost admiration for Senior Sister Liu. Senior Sister Liu's affairs are my affairs. If you two have any requests after going through the trouble of sending Senior Sister Liu back, feel free to ask."

Mo Wuji had a faint feeling that something wasn't right. Liu Ruoting had clearly stated when she left that he should help get him and Xi Nianmo into the outer sect as disciples. What did Lu Xing Teng mean by saying this?

Xi Nianmo also obviously sensed something amiss. Instead of asking directly, she pointed to the crowd in the middle of the plaza and asked, "Senior Brother Lu, what are so many people doing there?"

Lu Xing Teng said blandly, "These days are when various sects are recruiting disciples. They are all recruiting disciples there, and my Nine Evolutions God Sect is also here. If you two had come a few days earlier, I could have helped you get the identity of a handyman disciple. Now, every spot in the sect's recruitment of disciples is being scrutinized."

Mo Wuji's heart sank. According to this guy, he couldn't even get a handyman disciple's spot now. What was he even doing here?

At the same time, he understood that this wasn't the location of the Nine Evolutions God Sect itself.

Xi Nianmo quickly bowed and said, "Senior Brother Lu, it doesn't matter for me. I'll try my luck later. But my junior brother here was injured and is a bit rigid in his speech and actions. I wonder if Senior Brother Lu could help..."

Before Xi Nianmo could finish speaking, Lu Xing Teng said, "Of course, that's definitely possible. You two can wander around here while I go back and ask. If it works out, I'll come find you two right away."

After saying that, Lu Xing Teng didn't even bother to clasp his fists in farewell, turning around and leaving, disappearing into the crowd in an instant.

Mo Wuji knew that this guy wouldn't be coming back.

"Mo Wuji, this person didn't even ask me what I needed help with or for contact information before leaving. He probably won't be back. I'm going to take a look at the various sects to see if I can join one. Just stay by my side. If I join a sect, I'll bring you in with me," Xi Nianmo sighed.

She suspected that Liu Ruoting had no intention of helping at all and was just tricking her and Mo Wuji into sending her back.

Mo Wuji felt that Liu Ruoting might not necessarily be unwilling to help. He guessed that Lu Xing Teng had seen that Liu Ruoting was pregnant, which was why he no longer had the expectations he once did for her.

In any case, Mo Wuji didn't want to follow behind Xi Nianmo.

"I am your husband; how can I rely on you..." Because Mo Wuji no longer wanted to have any relationship with Xi Nianmo, he hoped that Xi Nianmo would hear his words and quickly go their separate ways.

When Xi Nianmo heard Mo Wuji still calling himself her husband, she quickly reached out and covered Mo Wuji's mouth. "Mo Wuji, don't talk nonsense..."

Several men and women walked past Xi Nianmo and Mo Wuji, smiling.

After they had passed, Xi Nianmo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mo Wuji, our relationship before was fake. Now you are Mo Wuji, and I am Xi Nianmo. We are unrelated to each other, understand?"

Mo Wuji grunted noncommittally, muttering the words "unrelated to each other," and then turned to leave.

"Wait..." Seeing that Mo Wuji wasn't pestering her, Xi Nianmo breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called out to Mo Wuji, who was about to leave.

"You still want me to be your husband?" Mo Wuji stopped and looked at Xi Nianmo with a surprised expression.

Xi Nianmo rubbed her forehead speechlessly and said, "No, just follow me, but you are not my husband, remember?"

If Mo Wuji's mind wasn't damaged, she would have let Mo Wuji go on his own long ago.

Mo Wuji was also very helpless. He could tell Liu Ruoting that his primordial spirit and spiritual channels were destroyed, but his mind was still intact, but he couldn't use the same words with Xi Nianmo. Xi Nianmo knew that he had taken the Spirit Detour Pill. Someone who took the Spirit Detour Pill and still had a normal mind was abnormal.

Perhaps Xi Nianmo wouldn't harm him, but Mo Wuji felt that they weren't very familiar, so it was better to be careful.

"If you let me follow you, then I am your husband," Mo Wuji even frowned, as if Xi Nianmo's words were ridiculous.

Xi Nianmo was completely defeated by Mo Wuji, but she couldn't blame Mo Wuji and could only remain speechless.

"Then I'm leaving." Mo Wuji grinned and turned to leave again.

"Mo Wuji, take this." Xi Nianmo didn't think about having Mo Wuji follow her anymore, and instead took out a ring. However, as she was about to hand over the ring, she thought about it and put the ring back, exchanging it for a storage bag to give to Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji knew that it wasn't because Xi Nianmo was being stingy, but because she was worried that someone would steal his things. In the God Domain, wearing a storage bag was basically a sign of being dirt poor. No one would rob someone who only had a storage bag.

Mo Wuji didn't care, accepted the storage bag, turned, and left without saying goodbye.

Looking at Mo Wuji's back as he squeezed into the crowd, Xi Nianmo could only whisper words that only she could hear, "I wish you all the best."

After saying that, she also turned and left. The Thunder Sword Manor was destroyed, and her closest people were all killed in front of her. She couldn't let go of this hatred.

No matter what the reason, since she was the only one left in the Xi family, she had to avenge her father, Aunt Jun, Uncle Yi, Qian Hua, and the others.

……

After Xi Nianmo left, Mo Wuji also squeezed into the crowd.

At least Lu Xing Teng was telling the truth when he said that this was indeed where various sects were recruiting disciples.

A row of sect signs was hung up, just like a job fair.

Forget River Dao Gate, Celestial Pivot God Sect, Divine Herb Valley, Luna God Sect, Star Refining God Sect, Primal Chaos God Sect…

All kinds of sects could be found here. Apart from the Celestial Pivot God Sect and the Nine Evolutions God Sect, Mo Wuji had basically never heard of the others. He could only judge which sects were larger and which were smaller based on the aura of the various sects recruiting disciples.

Mo Wuji looked very carefully. Top sects like the Celestial Pivot God Sect and the Nine Evolutions God Sect had a lot of people surrounding them. Their tests had very strict requirements for aptitude. Only those who reached a certain level of aptitude would participate in the next round of testing.

This made Mo Wuji very helpless. If he went to test his aptitude, it would definitely be the worst. He didn't have spiritual roots or a primordial spirit, so what aptitude would he test?

Mo Wuji wandered around for most of the day and could only sigh helplessly in the end. He wasn't material for joining a sect. Someone like him was destined to be a rogue cultivator and then create his own sect.

Mo Wuji was about to leave when he happened to see a very special sect, the Heavenly Mortal Sect. This sect reminded Mo Wuji of his own Plain Mortal.

The Heavenly Mortal Sect was obviously not a big sect. Only seven or eight people were standing outside the sect, and Mo Wuji couldn't even see anyone signing up. The ones recruiting disciples were a man and a woman. The man looked like an old man about to be buried, while the woman looked relatively young.

Mo Wuji hesitated for a moment and still walked over. Before he could ask, the old man widened his eyes and stared at Mo Wuji, saying, "Your bones are extraordinary, your aptitude is even top-notch here. The only flaw is that you lack the tempering of a top-level cultivation technique, and your aptitude has been hidden so no one can discover it. Heavens, I, Wei Jie, actually saw such a genius! Are you willing to join my Heavenly Mortal Sect? I guarantee you will be an inner disciple and will receive top-level cultivation resources."

The old man named Wei Jie became more and more excited as he spoke, finally grabbing Mo Wuji, his eyes filled with longing.

Mo Wuji was stunned. He could see that he was a top talent without testing? Could it be that this person had also discovered that he was creating the Immortal Mortal Dao? This was too scary, wasn't it?
