Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 1142: Embryonic Team Formation
Tong Ming’s expression froze. Mo Wuji's hand had landed on his shoulder, and he hadn't even reacted. What kind of divine ability was this?
Mo Wuji naturally wouldn't tell Tong Ming that this was Space Shortening. Don’t think that because he could easily pat Tong Ming's shoulder, he could do anything. If he really made a move, and his killing intent Dao rhythm was leaked, it wouldn't be so easy.
“Senior Sister Ji, why did you bring me here? This shouldn’t be the God Domain anymore, right?” Mo Wuji didn't pay attention to Lian Ji and Tong Ming beside him.
Now that Mo Wuji had recovered, Ji Li wasn’t hesitant to speak, “I originally planned to take you to the Dark World from the Universe God World Dock, but I didn’t expect to be intercepted by those four people along the way. The Universe God World Dock has also undergone huge changes. I don’t know if it’s possible to go to the Dark World from here anymore. Fortunately, your Nail Head Book has been undone, so it doesn’t matter whether we go or not.”
“The Universe God World Dock can go to the Dark World?” Mo Wuji’s heart stirred, and he quickly asked.
He had a piece of Dark Wood Fragment. Although he had always wanted to make the Dark Wood Fragment come alive, he hadn't been successful. Before, he had finally learned of news about a piece of Breathing Soil, but in the end, not only did he not obtain the Breathing Soil, but he was almost schemed against by Ming Yue's Nail Head Book.
Dark Wood was the number one wood in the Dark World. If he didn’t have Breathing Soil, going to the Dark World might allow the Dark Wood to come alive.
"It's possible to go, but the place you arrive at is a bit mysterious, and the Dark World also has a teleportation array that goes directly to the Seven World Stone.” Tong Ming chuckled and glanced at Ji Li meaningfully.
He was cunning and astute. When Ji Li mentioned going to the Dark World, and after Mo Wuji was affected by the Nail Head Book, he knew what was going on.
While appearing calm on the surface, Tong Ming was inwardly shocked. He was very puzzled as to why Mo Wuji could even undo the Nail Head Book. He knew that besides the Nail Head Book itself, only the Soul Intercepting Brush could undo the Dao rhythm of the Nail Head Book. And the Soul Intercepting Brush was in the Broken World.
To go to the Broken World, one must go to the Seven World Stone.
Mo Wuji had always wanted to go to the Seven World Stone again, but unfortunately, he couldn't find his way back.
Just as Mo Wuji was thinking that he absolutely had to go to the Dark World, Tong Ming chuckled and said again, “It’s easy for Fellow Daoist Mo to go to the Seven World Stone. The Seven World Stone is also a place we must go to in the future. In the future, if I want to deal with Luo Xu, I can only pass through the Seven World Stone.”
This guy was really an old fox. Mo Wuji said, “My cultivation is still low, and Fellow Daoist Tong Ming’s cultivation isn’t high either, right? It’s too early to deal with Luo Xu now. Besides, I heard that the World Extermination Calamity is about to arrive. Perhaps by that time, it won’t be a matter of us dealing with Luo Xu, but how to save our own lives.”
Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Tong Ming immediately cupped his fists and said, “Fellow Daoist Mo, since we are cooperating, I will listen to Fellow Daoist Mo’s commands. I think we should be frank. I have also controlled some experts over the years, and that will be a force to be reckoned with then.”
Mo Wuji said faintly, “Fellow Daoist Tong Ming, it’s not that I look down on your poison. To be honest, I don’t think that those people you control will be able to work together with us wholeheartedly. Moreover, our strength is indeed not enough. If Fellow Daoist Tong Ming can step into the Saint realm, our chances of winning will be much greater in the future.”
Tong Ming didn’t argue further when he heard Mo Wuji’s skepticism about the alliance he controlled with poison. It had already been agreed that Mo Wuji was the boss in the matter of dealing with Luo Xu. He didn't want to object to the boss's opinion before things even started. He was very clear about this as a former Saint.
Without waiting for Tong Ming to answer, Mo Wuji continued, “I plan to go to the Seven World Stone to improve my strength. Of course, I hope Fellow Daoist Tong Ming can also improve your strength.”
Mo Wuji had no choice but to improve his strength. With his current strength, even if he returned to the God Realm, he would be courting death. There was a Heavenly Scar Saint there, and his strength probably wouldn’t be enough to withstand a single slap from the Heavenly Scar Saint.
Not to mention going back to find the Heavenly Scar Saint, even if he encountered the Great Desert Dao Lord and Ming Yue God Emperor, he couldn't say he would win for sure.
Tong Ming agreed with Mo Wuji's words and nodded, “Fellow Daoist Mo, if we must improve our strength, we can only go to the Broken World. If I’m not mistaken, Fellow Daoist Ji also wanted to go to the Broken World before, right?”
Seeing Mo Wuji's gaze turn towards her, Ji Li had no choice but to say, "Yes, I planned to take you from here to the Dark World, and then from the Dark World to the Seven World Stone, and from the Seven World Stone to the Broken World.”
“Why?” Tong Ming and Ji Li knew about the Soul Intercepting Brush, but Mo Wuji didn't.
Ji Li explained, “Regarding the Nail Head Book’s Dao rhythm, I only know of one thing that can undo it, and that’s the Soul Intercepting Brush. The information I obtained in the Gods Tower back then was that the Soul Intercepting Brush appeared in the Broken World. You already know what happened later. If Fellow Daoist Lian Ji hadn't helped, and you hadn't woken up in the end, I would have harmed you.”
“No, Senior Sister Ji, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I estimate I would have fallen in there.” Mo Wuji said gratefully.
He wasn't exaggerating. If Ji Li hadn't brought him out of the Mortal World, the outcome would have been hard to say.
It was true that he used Heavenly Pivot Mud to sculpt his primordial spirit in his sea of consciousness, and his primordial spirit was also absorbing the Nail Head Book’s Dao rhythm, but there was still a risk.
If the primordial spirit he sculpted hadn't opened up one hundred and eight spiritual channels, and was corroded again by the Nail Head Book’s Dao rhythm, then no one could save him. This possibility wasn't nonexistent, but very large.
Fortunately, Ji Li brought him out, and under the bombardment of divine essence from the outside world, he woke up from the Fetal Breathing Meridian.
Ji Li didn’t speak. She wasn't good at expressing her thoughts. In her heart, what she had done was not even one ten-thousandth of what Mo Wuji had done for her.
Mo Wuji had saved her from Huan Ti and taken her to find Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. Even Mo Wuji being nailed by the Nail Head Book was caused by him searching for Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo for her.
“Fellow Daoist Mo, to deal with Luo Xu and others, we must band together. So I suggest that everyone go to the Broken World together to improve our strength," Tong Ming said again. There was another sentence he didn't say, which was that it would be best to call Huan Ti over as well to restore his strength. The more people, the better.
Ji Li asked doubtfully, "Fellow Daoist Tong Ming, I heard that the rules of the Broken World are shattered, and there’s no divine spiritual energy at all. At most, there are some magical treasures scattered in various places, and it’s extremely dangerous there. Why should we go to the Broken World to cultivate?"
Tong Ming chuckled, “This is the benefit of having someone like me join. The Broken World is also called the God Position World. Why is it called the God Position World? Because there are higher rules than Quasi-Saint rules there. It's true that the rules here are shattered and divine spiritual energy is scarce. Cultivation to our level relies on the condensation of our own rules. Divine spiritual energy is also something we find ourselves. It's indeed easier to cultivate in other places, but no matter how high your aptitude is or how good your resources are, Quasi-Saint is the limit.”
After saying these words, Tong Ming paused slightly before continuing, "Fellow Daoist Mo, if Fellow Daoist Huan Ti can join, that would be even better. The God Position World is more suitable for people like me and Huan Ti to cultivate. Only there can we touch what we have lost.”
There was another sentence that Tong Ming didn't say, and that was that if they didn't cultivate in the God Position World, what could they achieve even if they cultivated to the extreme in other places? In front of a Saint like Luo Xu, they would still be ants.
"What does Fellow Daoist Lian think?" Mo Wuji looked at Lian Ji. He himself was inclined to go to the God Position World to cultivate. Without cultivating to Quasi-Saint, he wouldn’t have the qualifications to compete with Heavenly Scar again.
Lian Ji, who hadn't spoken all along, saw Mo Wuji asking him, stepped forward and cupped his fists, saying, "I don't know what the World Extermination Calamity is, but I know that if the calamity really comes, my cultivation level is nothing at all. I feel a kinship with Fellow Daoist Mo and hope to join in and advance and retreat together in the future.”
"Good, then let's go to the God Position World." After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he sent Huan Ti out again.
Huan Ti, who looked like a skeleton, was dragged in and out by Mo Wuji, and had long lost his temper. What's more, his soul imprint was still in Mo Wuji’s hands. Even if he had fire in his heart, he wouldn't dare to vent it on Mo Wuji.
"It seems that the two of you have already discussed it." Huan Ti glanced at Tong Ming and said faintly.
When he saw Tong Ming, he knew that Tong Ming had no way to do anything to Mo Wuji. If Mo Wuji could be suppressed so easily, then he wouldn't have been imprisoned in a world by Mo Wuji.
“Huan Ti, I plan to follow Fellow Daoist Mo. Everyone will go to the Broken World together to improve our strength. What do you think?” Tong Ming said as soon as Saint Huan Ti came out.
Huan Ti chuckled, “Tong Ming, when I was following Brother Mo, you didn’t even know where you were, so what do you think? Besides, since you’re following Brother Mo, you can’t call him Fellow Daoist Mo anymore. Without rules, there can be no order. From now on, you have to call him Brother Mo."
Tong Ming stared blankly at Huan Ti. Was this still the high-spirited Huan Ti Saint he knew?
