Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 883: A Rust-Covered Long-Handled Tool
"Reporting to the God King, Young Mistress Zhenna has returned!" Just as God King Ji Ding was extremely worried about his daughter Yu Zhenna, a young, handsome man walked in, bowing respectfully.
God King Ji Ding suddenly stood up, the worry on his face turning into rage. "Bring her here."
Yu Zhenna was suppressed by the rules of Heaven and Earth, and her injuries had not fully recovered. As soon as she entered, God King Ji Ding sensed it. He said in an icy tone, "Not bad, you actually have the ability to go to a lower realm."
"Daughter knows her mistake, Father King, please forgive me." Yu Zhenna might have been showing off in front of Mo Wuji and the others, but she didn't dare to overstep her bounds in front of her old man. God King Ji Ding's angry shout made her kneel directly on the ground in fear.
Despite God King Ji Ding's extreme protectiveness and indulgence towards his children, he was definitely not the kind of loving father who would not strike. If they violated his will, it was normal for them to be beaten to death in the end. God King Ji Ding didn't have many children, and there had been precedents of him beating some to death.
Yu Zhener's death brought not only the grief of losing his son, but also the greater rage of who dared to kill Ji Ding's son.
"Tell me, how did your brother Zhener die?" God King Ji Ding calmed his anger and asked, trying to soften his tone. This was because his daughter was heavily injured from being suppressed by the rules of Heaven and Earth, otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken in such a gentle tone.
"What? Brother is dead?" Yu Zhenna was instantly stunned. Since she was young, her brother had helped her immensely in her cultivation. Compared to the majestic God King father, her brother made her feel more affectionate. Now that her brother was dead, she couldn't accept it at all.
God King Ji Ding frowned. "Weren't you with Zhener?"
Yu Zhenna recovered from her sadness and said, weeping, "My brother and I obtained two top-grade rule talismans, talismans that could leave the God Domain. We were afraid that Father King would scold us for not getting permission, so we secretly left the God Domain. In the void, my brother and I got separated. Later, I obtained a Heavenly Mystery Rule. Because my brother's strength was much greater than mine, I didn't worry about him and went to search for the remaining Heavenly Mystery Rules..."
Ji Ding suddenly interrupted Yu Zhenna. "You said you obtained a Heavenly Mystery Rule?"
Mo Wuji and the others weren't very clear about what a Heavenly Mystery Rule was, but Ji Ding knew very well what it was. It was something generated by the Chaos Heavenly Mystery. If used well, it could even strip away the destiny of a realm. Imagine the destiny of a realm being added to one person; even if that person didn't want to become strong, destiny would make him strong.
"Yes, that Heavenly Mystery Rule was split from the Chaos Heavenly Mystery. Someone had already used the Chaos Heavenly Mystery to extract the destiny of a realm, and I just happened to find the place," Yu Zhenna said, still somewhat sad. She hadn't obtained the destiny of a realm, and her brother had also perished. If she could do it again, she would definitely advise her brother not to use the rule talisman to go to a lower realm.
"You have already obtained the destiny of a realm?" Ji Ding's voice even trembled slightly. Destiny was something he couldn't see either. He could only ask his daughter whether she had obtained it.
Yu Zhenna shook her head. It wasn't strange to her that her father cared more about the Heavenly Mystery Rule than her brother.
"Just as I was about to open the Heavenly Mystery Destiny Cover array, I was ruined by an ant from the Immortal Realm. He should have wanted to preserve the Immortal Realm's destiny, so he took the initiative to tear open the Heavenly Mystery Destiny Cover, allowing the destiny of a realm that had been stripped away by the Heavenly Mystery Rule to return to the Immortal Realm. That person was later swept away by the collapsing rules of the Heavenly Mystery Destiny Cover and should be dead," Yu Zhenna said truthfully.
Ji Ding sat down in disappointment. To not have obtained such a good opportunity was simply…
"Father King, how did my brother die? Is it possible to know who killed him?" Yu Zhenna wiped away her tears, still unwilling to accept that her brother had been killed.
Once destiny dissipated, it could no longer be stripped away. Ji Ding was, after all, a God King, and his state of mind quickly recovered after a slight fluctuation. He calmed his somewhat restless mind and said slowly, "Since your brother wasn't killed by someone in the God Domain, then no one in the lower realm should be able to kill him. In that case, there must have been a problem with his rule talisman."
Yu Zhenna quickly said, "That's impossible, Father King. If my rule talisman wasn't torn open by myself, it couldn't be broken at all. The rule talismans we obtained were top-grade rule talismans..."
Yu Zhenna's words suddenly stopped. She realized that she had only gone to the Immortal Realm. What if her brother had gone to a realm lower than the Immortal Realm? Then the pressure on the rule talisman would be even greater. Under that greater pressure from the rules of Heaven and Earth, it wasn't impossible for the rule talisman to be torn open.
"You thought of it too, huh?" God King Ji Ding snorted. "Your rule talisman was only in a realm lower than the God Domain. What if it were in an even lower realm?"
"Ah… I remember." After Yu Zhenna said this, she directly grabbed a crystal-like bead from her ring.
The moment she saw the bead, she cried out, "Father King, my brother was killed! This bead contains our two blood shadow memories. If there was a problem with the rule talisman, the blood shadow memory would disappear. If he was killed, the blood shadow memory would turn black. Now, the blood shadow memory left by my brother has turned black. My brother was definitely killed!"
After Yu Zhenna confirmed that Yu Zhener had been killed, the killing intent on Ji Ding's body almost materialized.
After a long time, he slowly said, "No matter who it is, they must pay with a realm for killing my son. Zhenna, which realm did you go to?"
"Father King, but the rule talismans to go to the lower realm…" Yu Zhenna didn't care about her father destroying the Immortal Realm.
God King Ji Ding's eyes were grim. "I will find a way. You go down first. Remember, you are not allowed to act on your own again in the future. Otherwise, I will not spare you next time."
Even a God King couldn't go to a lower realm without a top-grade rule talisman.
"Yes, Father King, daughter takes her leave." Yu Zhenna quickly bowed and retreated.
Even though her father didn't punish her, she wasn't very happy. Her brother had been killed, and she would rather be confined for ten thousand years.
…
After being cautious for the first few months, Mo Wuji's speed became faster and faster. He didn't know where this natural chasm was located. Besides some limitations to his spiritual will, there wasn't much danger below.
The only thing Mo Wuji regretted was that he couldn't cultivate in this place. With his Immortal Mortal Technique, even cultivating while traveling shouldn't have any effect. As for body refinement, this place wasn't suitable, and secondly, Mo Wuji's body refinement had reached the peak of the ninth layer of the God Body, with almost no possibility of further progress.
Fortunately, Mo Wuji could still condense his spiritual will while traveling.
A year passed, and Mo Wuji's spiritual will expanded from an initial range of ten feet to a range of one hundred feet. He felt as if there was a rule in this place. As long as his spiritual will bypassed this rule, he could extend it even further.
At this point, he had basically adapted to this rule. Now, even without bypassing it, he could easily extend his spiritual will beyond a hundred feet.
Mo Wuji had adjusted his mindset, slowly refining his spiritual will while traveling. But a sudden sense of mortal threat made Mo Wuji stop. He looked ahead, but both his spiritual eyes and spiritual will could only see a gray blur.
Even though he couldn't see anything, Mo Wuji didn't move forward. He placed a chapter of the River Luo Book inside his ring. At the same time, he sent the square brick-shaped Heavenly Mystery Rule and the Heavenly Mystery Staff into his Undying World before cautiously proceeding forward.
Several times feeling the threat of death made Mo Wuji even more clearly understand that the mortal path he cultivated was most sensitive to this feeling of life-and-death crisis.
He was originally a mortal, and he cultivated the Mortal Dao. What a mortal cared about most was, of course, life and death. So, every time he was between life and death, he had a premonition.
The further he went, the greater the crisis Mo Wuji felt. If it were anywhere else, Mo Wuji would have turned around and left without hesitation. But there was nowhere to go here. This was the Void Natural Chasm, and he could only move forward or retreat.
Mo Wuji hadn't thought about retreating. He had been walking in this direction for more than a year. Who could be sure that there was no danger in retreating?
After walking several hundred feet further, Mo Wuji stopped. He felt that he couldn't go any further. Only ten feet in front of him, there was a rusty, long-handled weapon stuck diagonally in the ground. Mo Wuji's spiritual will couldn't see the part that was buried underground. The part above the ground looked like the handle of a magical treasure.
Mo Wuji had been to the Immortal Locking Formation in the Tower of the Gods. In the Immortal Locking Formation, that cunning old fox Yu Minjiang had hidden himself in a giant rock.
"You are the first cultivator to come here. Tell me, how did you get here?" Mo Wuji had just stopped for less than three breaths when a calm voice was heard.
Mo Wuji's heart skipped a beat. He was right; the voice came from that half of the long handle. The voice was surprisingly clear.
"I was fighting with someone in the void and accidentally activated a talisman, and then I appeared here," Mo Wuji said without thinking, as if that was how he really got there.
"You're lying. Tell me, how many of the five Heavenly Mystery Rules have you obtained?" The other party seemed to understand very well why Mo Wuji had come here.
When Mo Wuji heard the other party say the five Heavenly Mystery Rules, a flash of lightning went through his mind, and he understood who this guy was.
This person must be the one who set up the Heavenly Mystery Destiny Cover. He didn't expect that this guy wasn't dead and had appeared in this mysterious natural chasm. This kind of guy could even strip away the destiny of a realm, showing how black-hearted and ruthless he was.
"You guessed right. That Heavenly Mystery Destiny Cover was set up by me. I'm sure you've also gained a lot of benefits, right?" The voice was like a worm in Mo Wuji's stomach, knowing everything Mo Wuji was thinking.
Mo Wuji stared at the half-rusty long handle. Could this guy read his mind?
