Mo Wuji was an eighth-level Immortal Array Master and a ninth-level Equipment Emperor. The level of restrictions on Bao Bu's ring was nothing in his eyes, especially since Bao Bu had already been killed and the restrictions were even looser.

He didn't even bother breaking the restrictions on Bao Bu's ring; his Spirit Storage Meridian's spiritual sense bypassed the restrictions, allowing him to see everything within Bao Bu's ring.

There were at least forty Immortal Spiritual Veins, half of which were of the highest grade, and a pile of Immortal Spiritual Herbs above the seventh level. As for Thunder Soul Stones, they were piled up like a small mountain. Mo Wuji suspected that these eight Great Emperors had found a huge Thunder Soul Stone mine somewhere, allowing them to build cities with Thunder Soul Stones and then each take a pile.

When Mo Wuji saw a Void Nirvana Root, he finally understood why Diao Heng wanted to trade for Bao Bu's ring. The Void Nirvana Root was a supreme treasure without rank and extremely rare. If he hadn't achieved Nirvana, he would have gone all out to exchange for this Void Nirvana Root.

Without hesitation, Mo Wuji swept away sixty percent of the Thunder Soul Stones, took ten of the highest-grade Immortal Spiritual Veins, and took half of the Immortal Spiritual Herbs. As for the Void Nirvana Root, he sent it directly into his Immortal Mortal World.

With his current strength, he could move the Immortal Mortal World close to the ring and use his Spirit Storage Meridian to transfer things without anyone noticing anything amiss. There wasn't even a ripple of spiritual sense when he was transferring things.

The reason he left a pile of things behind was to see what price Diao Heng would offer.

"How is Fellow Daoist Mo considering it?" Seeing that Mo Wuji wasn't speaking, Diao Heng asked again.

Mo Wuji rubbed his forehead and frowned, saying, "You give me a price first, and I'll see if it's suitable. If it's not suitable, I won't trade. After all, what I got was Bao Bu's ring. Bao Bu is one of the eight Great Emperors, so the good things on him probably aren't less than what you have, right..."

As he said this, Mo Wuji saw a flag. Clearly, this was a flag to control the city's protective grand array.

Mo Wuji had experienced countless sieges and dangers since he began cultivating. As soon as this flag appeared, he knew that his previous guess that Diao Heng wanted Bao Bu's ring for the Void Nirvana Root might have been wrong. Bao Bu wouldn't tell Diao Heng about a treasure like the Void Nirvana Root. It was very likely that Diao Heng wanted this flag. Mo Wuji's spiritual sense could clearly sense that this was a sub-controlling flag.

In other words, the Starry Sky Oblique Sea City's trapped and killing grand array was likely controlled jointly by the eight Great Emperors, and Bao Bu's flag was just one of eight sub-controlling flags. If he killed Bao Bu and this flag wasn't given to Diao Heng, it would be difficult to activate the trapped and killing grand array outside, or it would take more time.

The purpose of this transaction was obvious: to keep him here so that the trapped and killing grand array could be restarted outside.

Mo Wuji sneered and began engraving array patterns in the flag with his spiritual sense. If he didn't understand array dao, he deserved to be tricked, but now they were using a trapped and killing array in front of a top-notch eighth-level Immortal Array Grandmaster like him. He would let these guys know why you shouldn't offend an Array Dao Master.

Just like Diao Heng and the others thought, Mo Wuji also hoped that the other party would activate the Starry Sky Oblique Sea City's trapped and killing grand array. If the other party didn't activate the trapped and killing grand array, and the powerhouses of Oblique Sea Island joined forces to deal with him head-on, he could only escape. Don't look at the fact that he had killed Bao Bu earlier; that was because the others hadn't taken action. And Bao Bu still thought of him as being at the Immortal Reverent stage, so it wasn't surprising that he was killed with a finger in haste.

Once the Starry Sky Oblique Sea City's trapped and killing grand array was activated, it would be different. As long as he controlled the trapped and killing grand array, he wouldn't be afraid even if all the powerhouses here besieged him. At worst, if he couldn't win, he could leave calmly.

"My ring is here, Fellow Daoist Mo can look at it yourself..." Diao Heng actually took out his ring and threw it out, the ring floating in the air.

Mo Wuji said lightly, "If Fellow Daoist Diao really wants to trade, please remove the restrictions on your ring."

As he spoke, Mo Wuji also threw Bao Bu's ring out, suspending it in the air, indicating that he wasn't making any moves.

Seeing that Mo Wuji had taken out Bao Bu's ring, everyone, including Diao Heng, breathed a sigh of relief. From the moment Diao Heng proposed the trade, Mo Wuji definitely didn't have time to touch Bao Bu's ring. If Mo Wuji could remove the restrictions on Bao Bu's ring in this short amount of time, then his array dao would be too powerful.

Diao Heng said quickly, "Sorry, I forgot."

As he spoke, Diao Heng casually removed the restrictions on his ring. At this time, anyone could see the things in Diao Heng's ring.

There were fifty Immortal Spiritual Veins of various grades, but only ten of the highest grade. Mo Wuji guessed that many things in this ring had been taken away by Diao Heng.

He was very disdainful. If it weren't for the fact that he also wanted Diao Heng to take the flag, he really wouldn't care about the trade.

There was a large pile of Thunder Soul Stones, even more than in Bao Bu's ring. The Immortal Spiritual Herbs were about the same as in Bao Bu's ring, and there were various jade slips...

The contents of the jade slips were mostly cultivation techniques, simple divine abilities, and some introductions.

An ancient pill furnace appeared in Mo Wuji's spiritual sense, and Mo Wuji's gaze was immediately attracted to this pill furnace.

The pill furnace he was currently using to refine pills was still an eighth-grade Immortal artifact he had refined himself. Before that, the pill furnace he had always used to refine pills was a quasi-eighth-grade Immortal artifact.

But this pill furnace, Mo Wuji was sure, was definitely not just an Immortal artifact. It was at least something that surpassed Immortal artifacts. There was a feeling that Mo Wuji couldn't describe, as if the pill furnace was calling to him, asking him to refine it.

Good stuff, this is definitely a good stuff. Mo Wuji finally understood why Diao Heng was confident in trading rings with him. It turned out to be because of this pill furnace. He was a ninth-grade Pill Emperor, so he naturally loved pill furnaces very much. As long as they were alchemists, they would be reluctant to give up this pill furnace.

Mo Wuji had to say that Diao Heng had succeeded. He did need this pill furnace. He would have chosen to trade even without the flag.

Mo Wuji's spiritual sense passed over the pill furnace, and he saw a golden jade slip. Mo Wuji had seen many jade slips, but he had rarely seen golden jade slips.

His spiritual sense directly penetrated it. When Mo Wuji saw the contents of the jade slip clearly, he almost stood up.

This was actually a jade slip introducing the refining of puppets. For the first time, Mo Wuji had a desire to possess it. He was a ninth-grade Equipment Emperor, but he wasn't proficient in refining puppets.

Refining equipment and refining puppets were two different things. Refining puppets required not only proficiency in refining equipment but also proficiency in array dao. In addition, one had to have an understanding of various knowledge.

This was just for refining ordinary puppets. If one wanted to refine a puppet with an artifact spirit like Da Huang, one would need a thousand times more knowledge. That was why good Immortal Puppets were so rare.

And this jade slip not only introduced the refining of puppets but also introduced the methods of refining puppets with artifact spirits.

Even without the pill furnace, Mo Wuji wouldn't let go of this jade slip introducing the refining of puppets.

Da Huang was a puppet. In fact, Mo Wuji had long regarded Da Huang as his friend. Back then, in order to save him, Da Huang knew he couldn't win, but he still blocked those powerhouses for him, and was finally blasted into pieces by three Immortal Emperors and one Quasi-Emperor.

Even to this day, Mo Wuji still couldn't forget Da Huang's last words after losing his body, "Master, hurry up and leave... Da Huang can't beat them..."

These words carried Da Huang's feelings, a trace of reluctance towards the world, but he was still blasted into pieces.

In Mo Wuji's eyes, Da Huang was just a child whose mind hadn't fully matured. He had just begun to mature his mind, had just begun to observe the world, and was killed by several powerhouses.

Revenge was definitely necessary. Before taking revenge, the thing Mo Wuji wanted to do most was to restore Da Huang back to his original state. Da Huang's artifact spirit part had always been in his Immortal Mortal World.

He had always wanted to find an equipment refiner who could refine puppets to learn from, but he had never found one. Today, he finally saw hope.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, do you want to trade or not? Just say the word." Diao Heng was getting a little anxious.

"Trade!" Without hesitation, Mo Wuji pushed Bao Bu's ring out and reached out to roll up Diao Heng's ring, sending it into his Immortal Mortal World.

Diao Heng's expression was calm, even a little solemn. In his heart, he was ecstatic. At the same time as he grabbed Bao Bu's ring, his spiritual sense unhesitatingly began to grind away the restrictions.

Everyone knew that Diao Heng was grinding away the restrictions. No one disturbed Diao Heng. Instead, a ninth-level Immortal Demon Beast took the initiative to stand up and say, "I have a top-level body refinement technique here and I want to exchange it for a good flying Immortal artifact."

This time, there were indeed people who wanted this body refinement technique. Although the several Great Emperors didn't bid, some powerhouses who were second only to the eight Great Emperors bid one after another.

But at this time, Mo Wuji didn't care at all. His attention was all on the golden jade slip that introduced the refining of puppets.

Similarly, Diao Heng didn't care. His attention was all on Bao Bu's ring.

Mo Wuji opened the restrictions on Bao Bu's ring in just a few breaths, while Diao Heng spent several minutes, still forcibly using his spiritual sense to grind away the restrictions, before finally opening the restrictions on Bao Bu's ring.

The first thing Diao Heng saw was the flag in Bao Bu's ring. He breathed a sigh of relief, put away the ring, and didn't make any more moves.

The other Great Emperors were relieved. If Diao Heng didn't make any moves, it meant that he had gotten what he wanted.

Mo Wuji estimated that Diao Heng should have opened the restrictions on the ring as well. He stood up and said, "It's getting late. The trade can't be finished in a short amount of time. Let's distribute the Nirvana Space Fruit first, and then everyone can trade again. I also need to go back and rest. I've been back from Oblique Sea and haven't had a good rest."

Xue Lu followed and stood up, saying, "I also think what Fellow Daoist Mo said is right. The Nirvana Space Fruit is indeed more important. After all, the spatial protective array outside Oblique Sea will open in a few days."

The other Great Emperors stood up as well. Red Eye Tortoise nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then let's go take a look at the Nirvana Space Fruit first."
