After landing on the sand, Meng Ye pointed to the front and said, "This Void Wood is not the biggest in this forest, it's over here..."

After speaking, Meng Ye pointed to a large open space in the distance to the side, "There is an even bigger Void Wood over there. Daoist Dui Zhao and I went down in the middle of that one..."

"Follow me." Mo Wuji said and stepped directly into the place Meng Ye mentioned, using his earth escape ability.

Meng Ye quickly followed behind Mo Wuji, also using earth escape.

The further down they went, the stronger the Nihility Dao rhythm became, and their spiritual sense was also restricted.

This was already within Mo Wuji's expectations. He slowed down his earth escape speed while using the Storage Spiritual Network to carve array patterns with his spiritual sense.

Meng Ye, who was following behind Mo Wuji, was secretly shocked. The spiritual sense here was restricted to within a foot around them. With his Quasi-Sage strength, he could barely use earth escape. But Mo Wuji, who was not far ahead, didn't seem to feel any pressure, although he had slowed down a bit. Meng Ye even suspected that Mo Wuji was slowing down to wait for him.

The two of them tunneled downwards for three hours before Mo Wuji's feet suddenly left solid ground, and he landed outside a spacious stone hall.

Mo Wuji scanned the stone hall with his spiritual sense and knew that it had been set up by Dui Zhao and Meng Ye. The methods were exactly the same as those used in the Mi Clan Manor.

Not long after, Meng Ye landed beside Mo Wuji. His face was a little pale, and he didn't look as calm and composed as Mo Wuji.

Meng Ye pointed to the stone hall, which even his spiritual sense couldn't penetrate, and said, "Daoist Dui Zhao and I stored our things in this stone hall back then. It looks like someone is inside now."

Mo Wuji didn't need Meng Ye to remind him who was inside. He could guess. Judging from the transformation of the Void Forest into a desert outside, it was obvious that the Desert Dao Lord had come here and taken over the nest.

"How did Daoist Dui Zhao preserve the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo?" Mo Wuji asked casually. He now knew that the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was not easy to preserve.

Meng Ye looked at the stone hall and said, "Daoist Dui Zhao has an Creation God Spiritual Vein... and a piece of Breath Soil the size of a fingernail. He placed the Breath Soil on top of the Creation God Spiritual Vein, and then placed the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo next to the Breath Soil..."

"What?" Mo Wuji looked at Meng Ye in shock. "You said there's Breath Soil here?"

Breath Soil could be said to be the number one material in the entire universe. This material was neither innate nor acquired, but something brought about during the initial separation of the primordial chaos. If not for its usefulness in saving people, the value of Breath Soil would definitely be higher than that of Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. Meng Ye hadn't mentioned it before, probably because he wanted to take the Breath Soil for himself.

Mo Wuji was in urgent need of Breath Soil. He had obtained a small piece of Dark Wood some time ago, but no matter how he tried to nurture it, the small piece of Dark Wood simply wouldn't come to life. If he could get Breath Soil, Mo Wuji was certain that he could revive the Dark Wood.

"Yes, it's just a little bit small," Meng Ye said awkwardly.

He hadn't told Mo Wuji about Dui Zhao's Breath Soil because he really wanted that bit of Breath Soil. He had even planned to come clean with Mo Wuji before coming here. But Mo Wuji had shown too much strength, and there had been changes here, so he didn't reveal his desire for the Breath Soil. As for explanations, there was no need. After being with Mo Wuji for so long, he already knew that Mo Wuji was not an easy person to deal with. His little thoughts were obviously clear to the other party.

"I understand." As Mo Wuji spoke, he had already summoned the Half Moon Heavy Halberd and slammed it against the stone hall gate.

Although the stone hall gate was protected by an array, Mo Wuji's array path was almost at the level of a ninth-level God Array Emperor. This halberd strike happened to hit the gap in the protective array.

With just one strike, a crack appeared in the stone hall gate.

Before the crack could be repaired, the Half Moon Heavy Halberd transformed into a silver light again and crashed down.

"Crack!" The stone hall gate shattered, and Mo Wuji and Meng Ye stood inside the stone hall.

Compared to the gate of the Mi Clan Manor, which had been tampered with by that Heavenly Scarred Sage, the gate of this stone hall seemed a little weak.

Stepping into the hall, the first thing Mo Wuji saw was a bamboo plant that was nearly three feet tall. The ice bamboo was crystal clear and seemed to be surrounded by circles of soft light, like something out of a fairy tale.

The nine snowflake-shaped bamboo leaves were even more dazzlingly beautiful. Compared to the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo that he had exchanged for with Dark Rule's Bitter Heart, this Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was clearly of much greater value.

Mo Wuji didn't look at the Creation God Spiritual Vein below the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo, but instead focused his attention on the two people beside the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo.

That's right, there were two people, not just the Desert Dao Lord that Meng Ye had mentioned. The person on the left was short and looked like an irregular stone ball, playing with a string of prayer beads in his hand. There were eighteen beads, and each one contained endless Dao rhythm aura. The person on the right was tall and slender, with a long beard reaching his chest, giving him a bit of imposing manner.

"Desert, Ming Yue..." Meng Ye exclaimed in shock.

Mo Wuji couldn't sense the true strength of these two people. He was calculating how much of a chance he had to snatch the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo if he suddenly attacked.

"Who are they?" Mo Wuji asked while calculating the speed of his Shrinking Ground to Inch.

"Brother Mo, the Desert Dao Lord, who is close to the spiritual vein, is one of the Four Great Dao Lords. The taller one, Ming Yue, is the Ming Yue God Emperor of the Twelve God Emperors," Meng Ye said cautiously to Mo Wuji.

"Hahaha..." The tall cultivator suddenly laughed loudly. After laughing for a while, he pointed at Meng Ye and said, "Meng Ye, oh Meng Ye, you are one of the Three Loose Saints who holds a god position. How can you be so lacking in ambition now, actually calling a Unity God ant 'Brother'? Haha, I'm laughing myself to death."

Mo Wuji's heart skipped a beat. It wasn't because the Ming Yue God Emperor ridiculed Meng Ye for calling him "Brother", but because when the Ming Yue Saint Emperor laughed wildly just now, he actually felt the void array patterns surrounding the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo in the subtle spatial fluctuations. The Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo didn't seem to have any obstructions. As long as he rushed over, he could snatch it.

In fact, if he hadn't noticed the protective array constructed by the surrounding void array patterns, rushing over rashly like that would have been the same as sending the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo away. Mo Wuji broke out in a cold sweat. It wasn't because he was afraid of these two guys, but because if he had rushed over rashly just now, he definitely wouldn't have been able to get the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo.

Mo Wuji didn't have the confidence to snatch the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo from the hands of a Dao Lord and a God Emperor. Not fearing the other party was one thing, snatching something from their hands was another.

"Desert, Ming Yue, this is the treasure trove of Dui Zhao and me. I wonder what the two of you are doing here?" Meng Ye didn't pay attention to the Ming Yue God Emperor's ridicule of him calling Mo Wuji "Brother", his tone a little displeased.

"Your territory?" Ming Yue laughed loudly again. "This is clearly unclaimed territory. Why is it your Meng Ye's territory? Are you above a Saint? Just because you say it's yours, it's yours?"

"Haha!" Mo Wuji laughed loudly, suddenly stepped forward, and pointed at Ming Yue, saying, "You occupy other people's territory and snatch other people's things. Are you not even going to let them say anything? How can there be such a thing under heaven..."

Almost at the moment he said "reason", Mo Wuji's body paused for a moment.

The Desert Dao Lord had been paying attention to Mo Wuji. He knew that his Desert Dao rhythm permeated this place, yet he still dared to come down. Even Meng Ye called Mo Wuji "Brother", so it was clear that this Brother Mo was not simple.

He didn't care about Mo Wuji snatching the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo at all. His Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was protected by a void array pattern protective array. Not to mention Mo Wuji, even Meng Ye at his peak would only be blocked by his protective array if he suddenly attacked.

Although Mo Wuji only glanced at the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo and then looked away, and his spiritual sense didn't continue to probe, the Desert Dao Lord was still watching Mo Wuji at all times. The Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was also very important to him. If it wasn't because he still had several Dao rhythms that hadn't been perfected, he would have used the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo long ago.

Now that Mo Wuji suddenly stepped forward to accuse Ming Yue, he relaxed his mind a little.

But precisely at this time, Mo Wuji's figure paused. In just a split second, both the Desert and Ming Yue understood that the Mo Wuji figure that paused was just a shadow, and the real Mo Wuji had already moved. At the same time, spatial fluctuations came.

"Looking for death!" The Desert directly pounced towards Mo Wuji. Even if Mo Wuji had deceived him with a moment of distraction, he didn't believe that Mo Wuji could snatch the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo.

He wouldn't even wait for Mo Wuji to tear open the protective array before blocking Mo Wuji.

Almost at the same time that Mo Wuji used his Shrinking Ground to Inch Divine Art, the void array pattern protective array surrounding the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo suddenly exploded, and the aura of the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was revealed.

Mo Wuji rushed to the side of the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo without any hindrance, and with a wave of his hand, sent the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo into the Mortal World. Then, the Half Moon Heavy Halberd transformed into a silver river and slashed down.

"Boom!" Mo Wuji's silver river collided with a prayer bead from the Desert, splashing large swaths of silver light and sand across the entire hall.

A powerful divine essence backlash came, and Mo Wuji flew backwards to Meng Ye's side.

At this moment, he felt relieved. With the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo in hand, he was no longer afraid of the shorty and that Ming Yue doing anything unexpected.

(That's all for today's update. Good night, friends!)
