Even if it cost him 90% of his own life, he had to extract those three Origin Beads. He refused to believe that if a pond dried up, he wouldn't be able to find fish in it.

As Mo Wuji drew away the life force and meridian origins of his world, his skin began to wither once more.

Mo Wuji's Immortal World was formed from his world meridians, which were originally one of his one hundred and eight meridians. Now that the life force of the Immortal World was being drawn away, and the meridian origins that formed the world were being stripped away, even if Mo Wuji was capable, he had no way to control the loss of his vital essence.

Skin withering, vital essence flowing away, bones turning gray...

No matter what happened, Mo Wuji maintained that last shred of clarity. He absolutely could not allow himself to fall unconscious.

He didn't know how long it had been, but just as Mo Wuji was about to give up, the Earth Origin aura in his Immortal World finally couldn't remain active in the Immortal World and condensed once again into an Earth Origin Bead. Before the Earth Origin Bead could fall to the ground, Mo Wuji directly stored it in a jade box and placed a restriction on it.

With the Earth Origin Bead being stripped away, the stripping of the Metal Origin Bead became much simpler.

When Mo Wuji had completely stripped away the Earth Origin Bead, the Metal Origin Bead, and the Water Origin Bead from the Immortal World and stored them in jade boxes, his life force was almost extinguished.

The Immortal World, which he had once developed into a lush green plain, rapidly withered. Because even the origins had been stripped away by Mo Wuji, it once again transformed into an ugly, gray bead. The world within the bead was also extremely narrow and dim.

Mo Wuji, however, breathed a sigh of relief. At least his Immortal World hadn't collapsed. He quickly threw some important things into the gray bead world, and then frantically circulated the Immortal Mortal Art to cultivate.

He couldn't set up a spirit gathering array here, but was he not allowed to cultivate and absorb the spiritual energy from elsewhere?

Mo Wuji's Immortal Mortal Art was a true Mortal Art. Compared to the Seed Emperor's Mortal Art of that year, absorbing spiritual energy was even more perverse.

In a short time, a vortex of spiritual energy formed above Mo Wuji's closed-door cultivation location.

Endless spiritual energy was swept over by Mo Wuji, pouring into the place where Mo Wuji was cultivating.

This was Nirvana Learning Academy, not a place truly lacking in spiritual energy. The Nirvana Learning Academy only lacked spiritual energy in the Mortal Land. The spiritual energy elsewhere was better than anywhere else on the entire God Continent.

Once Mo Wuji began to absorb it, the momentum of the spiritual energy pouring in so madly could no longer be stopped.

This was also one of the reasons why Mo Wuji came to the Nirvana Learning Academy. At least when cultivating here, even if he made a big commotion, no one would dare to touch his protective array.

Although no one touched the protective array around Mo Wuji's location, many cultivators once again came to observe outside the Mortal Land. The duty elder of Nirvana Learning Academy once again came here. When he discovered that Mo Wuji was only cultivating and sweeping in the spiritual energy from others, he turned around and left.

Anyone cultivating in Nirvana Learning Academy had the right to absorb all the spiritual energy in the entire academy, and he had no right to interfere.

Chi Chuan and Da Huang were relieved. After Mo Wuji began his closed-door cultivation, there was no news for three consecutive years. During these three years, they had long since built the Mortal Land into the way Mo Wuji had planned.

Now that there was finally movement in the place where Mo Wuji was cultivating, they were naturally no longer worried about Mo Wuji.

As for the cultivators who came to visit the Mortal Land, they were all blocked outside by Chi Chuan. This was Nirvana Learning Academy. As long as he didn't actively invite people in, no one would dare to attack the protective array casually.

Because the protective array of the Mortal Land was not opened, as time passed, fewer and fewer people came to visit.

Mo Wuji's speed of absorbing spiritual energy became faster and faster. Initially, it was only around his closed-door cultivation location. Later, the dense spiritual energy spread to dozens or hundreds of feet around.

Chi Chuan quickly said, "Da Huang, Shuai Guo, you guys quickly seize the opportunity to cultivate. This place is very safe, I can guard it alone."

The reason why Chi Chuan wasn't cultivating was that he wanted to wait for Mo Wuji to come out of seclusion and teach him the Immortal Mortal Art. His current cultivation speed was too slow.

Mo Wuji rarely had such a joyful time to cultivate. Under the circulation of his Immortal Mortal Art, his withered vital essence was quickly replenished, and his gray bones slowly regained their vitality...

Two years later, Mo Wuji's aura suddenly soared. All his meridians became wider, and his speed of absorbing spiritual energy was even faster than before. The Immortal World also expanded again. Although it no longer had the aura of its origins, it had an additional aura of his own Mortal Dao Laws.

"God Nascent Realm Layer Seven." Mo Wuji felt calm in his heart. He felt that after stripping the three Origin Beads from the Immortal World, his cultivation speed had accelerated a lot. Originally, part of the absorbed spiritual energy always seeped into the Immortal World. Now, his Immortal World seemed to be expanding along with his Dao Laws. Everything he comprehended would be reflected in the rules of the Immortal World.

And as the Immortal World expanded, his comprehension of the Mortal Dao became even deeper.

His world and his Mortal Dao Laws began to merge together, and it was no longer appropriate to call it the Immortal World. The former Immortal World had been stripped away by him. From today onwards, his world would be called the Mortal World.

At this moment, Mo Wuji deeply felt the effect of the Mortal World on him. He began to consciously run the Celestial Circulation, passing through or communicating with the Mortal World.

Mo Wuji quickly became pleasantly surprised. His Mortal World could obviously grow faster during his cultivation, provided that he put the Mortal World into the operation of his Dao Laws when he was cultivating.

In the sixth year of his closed-door cultivation, Mo Wuji naturally stepped into the God Nascent Realm Layer Eight. In the eighth year, he stepped into the God Nascent Realm Layer Nine.

At this moment, his Mortal World had also expanded once again into a complete world. Although this world was still gray and dark, Mo Wuji felt that his world was more complete than his original Immortal World.

At least this dark Mortal World had various rules. These rules were all condensed from his own Dao Laws.

They included the five elements, and even wind, thunder, ice, and darkness rules. Even though these rules were very weak, they were obviously growing rapidly.

Eventually, when his Great Dao took shape, his world would also become the top world in this universe.

In the ninth year, Mo Wuji stepped into the God Nascent Realm Layer Nine, and the Mortal World continued to grow, transforming into a place ninety miles in radius.

In the tenth year... Mo Wuji advanced again. What surprised him was that he didn't step into the Heavenly God Realm, but stepped into the God Nascent Realm Layer Ten.

Could it be that the God Nascent Realm also had an extreme limit? Why had he never heard of such a thing?

Mo Wuji stopped cultivating. He reached out and grabbed in the void, and a mysterious and profound feeling was captured by him. That feeling was that even with this simple grab, he had grabbed the entire space in his palm.

Mo Wuji sighed. Compared to the God Nascent Realm Layer Six, his strength had increased by more than several times. He was at God Nascent Realm Layer Ten, and he was probably not afraid of even a Heavenly God Realm Layer Nine cultivator in front of him.

This was definitely not just the credit of his Immortal Mortal Art, but also the credit of his Mortal World. His Mortal World was already a hundred miles in radius, and although the laws of heaven and earth within it were weak, they were extremely complete.

Mo Wuji's spiritual will swept out, and then his figure flashed and disappeared directly from his closed-door cultivation location.

...

Bai Yue returned to the Mortal Land with extremely excited feelings. In the first year that Mo Wuji gave him the Seed Emperor's handwritten Mortal Art, he stepped into the Heavenly God Realm in the spiritual land of Nirvana Learning Academy. After that, he went directly to the sect's cave dwelling rental place and cultivated in seclusion for nine years.

In those nine years, he not only stabilized his cultivation, but also stepped into the Heavenly God Realm Layer Two.

He would slowly make up for the time he had lost in the past.

He stopped his closed-door cultivation this time because it was time for the Nirvana Learning Academy's cultivation resource competition. He had advanced to the Heavenly God Realm, while Mo Wuji was still lingering in the God Nascent Realm. He had to fight for certain cultivation resources for the Mortal Land, so that at least a spirit gathering divine array could be set up in the Mortal Land.

But when he opened the protective array of the Mortal Land, he was somewhat stunned.

Was this the Mortal Land?

Dense, almost liquefied spiritual energy surrounded the center of the Mortal Land. A wide stone staircase led directly from the entrance of the array to the center of the Mortal Land.

Patches of spiritual grass were lush and lovely. A river wound around these lush spiritual grass gardens, making people feel extremely comfortable at first glance. A dozen or so beautiful buildings of various styles stood in an orderly manner in all directions of the Mortal Land. Where was the desolation of the past?

"Who are you?" Chi Chuan looked at Bai Yue, who had entered the protective array, with suspicion. He hadn't opened the protective array.

"He is Bai Yue, and will be considered your senior brother from now on," Mo Wuji's voice came in time.

"Chi Chuan greets Senior Brother Bai Yue," Chi Chuan quickly bowed and saluted. He had heard Mo Wuji mention Bai Yue before.

Mo Wuji smiled and said, "Bai Yue, this is Chi Chuan. He will also be a member of my Mortal Land from now on. And congratulations on stepping into the Heavenly God Realm and advancing to the Heavenly God Realm Layer Two."

"Wuji, you actually made the Mortal Land so beautiful while I was away," Bai Yue said with joy.

Mo Wuji laughed, "This is all thanks to Chi Chuan."

"By the way, why can't I see through your cultivation?" This was what puzzled Bai Yue.

He was now at the Heavenly God Realm Layer Two. He should be able to see through Mo Wuji's cultivation at a glance. However, the fact was that he saw Mo Wuji's cultivation vaguely and not very clearly.

Mo Wuji's spiritual rhyme moved around him, and then he smiled and said, "How about now?"

"You are at the God Nascent Realm Layer Nine?" Bai Yue finally saw Mo Wuji's cultivation clearly this time. He would never understand that the God Nascent Realm had ten layers.

Mo Wuji nodded, "You can say that."

"That's great. I didn't expect you to have made progress here faster than me. The Nirvana Learning Academy's resource competition will begin in a few months. You are at God Nascent Realm Layer Nine, and I am at Heavenly God Realm Layer Two. Even if we can't compete for top-level resources, we can eventually get an ordinary spirit gathering divine array, right?" Bai Yue said happily.

"Okay, after I teach Chi Chuan the Immortal Mortal Art, we will go and prepare for the competition," Mo Wuji replied. He didn't need a spirit gathering divine array to cultivate here himself. There were others here, and besides, the spiritual grass in the Mortal Land also needed a lot of spiritual energy.
