Chapter 1092 The First Encounter with a Great Sage
Mo Wuji was extremely sensitive to the laws of heaven and earth. The moment this golden light descended, he immediately sensed a rule aura he had never encountered before. He initially wanted to ask Kun Yun about it, but seeing Kun Yun lower his head and step onto the golden path without any intention of speaking, Mo Wuji had no choice but to give up.
No, just as Mo Wuji's foot was about to touch the golden path, a sense of danger permeated his entire being.
Without hesitation, Mo Wuji retracted his foot. Having learned his lesson once, he placed immense trust in his sixth sense.
Almost simultaneously with Mo Wuji stepping back, Kun Yun also retreated from the golden path, bowing and saying, "Great Saint, Kun Yun's cultivation is currently low. Stepping onto the Holy Mountain in this state would be an imposition on the Great Saint. I humbly request the Great Saint to return the items I entrusted to you in the past. Once Kun Yun's cultivation is restored, I will return to serve the Great Saint."
Kun Yun was no fool. He couldn't sense the danger of the golden path, but since Mo Wuji, who cultivated the Immortal Mortal Dao, sensed it, it was highly likely that something was indeed wrong. Although he had the Taotie Cauldron and wasn't worried about what the Great Saint could do to him, he still believed in Mo Wuji's words: it's better to be safe than sorry.
The Great Saint was generous and righteous in the past. But after so many years, who knew if the Great Saint had changed? Even he, Kun Yun, had changed, hadn't he? If someone like Mo Wuji had treated him that way back then, he would have extracted Mo Wuji's soul and lit it like a lamp. Why would he have cooperated with Mo Wuji until today, even being extorted for so many cultivation resources for no reason?
"Very well. Here are your things. Focus on your cultivation. If you need anything, you can come to me anytime." As he spoke, a ring fell from the void, hovering in front of Kun Yun.
Kun Yun grabbed the ring without even glancing at it, bowing deeply again and thanking, "Thank you, Great Saint, for keeping my treasures safe. Kun Yun will surely repay you. Kun Yun takes his leave now, wishing the Great Saint boundless creation."
"Go down and find a place to cultivate in seclusion. To leave the Burial God Abyss safely and even find a body so perfectly suited for you is indeed your fortune. This Mo Wuji who came with you will stay behind." The deep voice in the void spoke again, nonchalantly.
Kun Yun's heart skipped a beat. He quickly said, "Mo Wuji is young and lacks proper manners. I implore the Great Saint to be generous and overlook his faults."
Mo Wuji was the most crucial part of his plan. If something happened to Mo Wuji, his trip here would lose much of its significance. To be honest, if he wasn't certain that the Great Saint would find out about it, he wouldn't have come to pay his respects to the Great Saint first.
"Of course, I won't blame him for his lack of manners. However, he scattered the Nascent Soul of my disciple as soon as he arrived. My Divine Repose Land is not a place without rules. He will stay on the Great Saint Mountain for ten thousand years of contemplation. After ten thousand years, he is free to come and go." The voice in the void remained calm and unwavering.
Kun Yun's heart sank. He instinctively glanced at Mo Wuji.
How could Mo Wuji not understand Kun Yun's meaning? He not only didn't step onto the golden path, but also retreated several steps, saying neither humbly nor arrogantly, "If you make wild accusations and punishments without a proper investigation, is this truly your Saint's Dao?"
It's over! Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Kun Yun's heart sank, realizing things were not good. Min Yuan was incredibly powerful. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to defy a Saint with Quasi-Saint strength and declare himself the Great Saint.
Min Yuan was also known for his righteousness, but he had one bad habit: he liked to be revered and worshipped by everyone. Similarly, he disliked anyone questioning his authority.
Mo Wuji had just arrived at the Divine Repose Land and was already criticizing the Great Saint. This was definitely not a small matter.
Before Kun Yun could say anything to smooth things over, a golden palm print slammed down directly.
The palm print reached for Mo Wuji, and under the golden light, the surrounding space solidified. Even Kun Yun found it difficult to move under this palm print.
Kun Yun sighed. He wanted to resist and leave with Mo Wuji, but he could only do that if he had all his strength. Now, with only a fraction of his strength remaining, he could barely protect himself with the Taotie Cauldron.
Even if he could escape with the Taotie Cauldron, he wouldn't be able to help Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji snorted coldly. The spatial rules around him suddenly shifted. The solidified spatial boundary was blocked by Mo Wuji's own Immortal Mortal Dao. Mo Wuji immediately became free, and then unleashed a finger strike.
Seven World Finger, Heaven and Earth.
With this finger, Mo Wuji was the ruler of this heaven and earth. All other rules and Dao laws were pushed aside, and the rules of heaven and earth were reorganized. Any attempt to tear apart his Mo Wuji's Dao rhythm would be shattered.
"Boom!" The Dao laws exploded, and Mo Wuji was sent flying backward, but the giant golden handprint had already dissipated.
"Kun Yun, I'm leaving first. We'll meet again if we have the chance." After leaving these words, Mo Wuji transformed into a wisp of breeze, disappearing without a trace.
Even though the Divine Repose Land was Min Yuan's domain for countless years, he couldn't find Mo Wuji's movement trajectory.
After grasping the Heavenly Astral Transformation, Mo Wuji could almost truly become a wisp of breeze. No matter how strong the Great Saint was, he didn't possess Mo Wuji's Heavenly Astral Transformation ability.
"Kun Yun, where did this person come from? What Dao is he cultivating? He actually ignored my Dao rhythm handprint?" The Great Saint's voice became calm, as if he wasn't the one who had attacked Mo Wuji earlier.
Kun Yun knew that the Great Saint's strength must have decreased significantly. Even so, he didn't have the same confidence as Mo Wuji to dare challenge the Great Saint. He quickly replied respectfully, "I only know that his name is Mo Wuji, and he cultivates the Immortal Mortal Dao... By the way, it's similar to the cultivation technique that Liuxing practiced in the past. I only met him while I was recovering my body, and then we traveled together. If I had known that this person would be so disrespectful to the Great Saint, I would have taught him a lesson."
Kun Yun was very clear that Mo Wuji's Immortal Mortal Dao foundation was many times stronger than Liuxing's. However, in his heart, Mo Wuji's importance was far greater than the Great Saint Min Yuan. He would never reveal Mo Wuji's true origin to the other party. As for Mo Wuji cultivating the true Immortal Mortal Art, he would never tell Min Yuan.
After a long silence, Min Yuan said faintly, "I understand. You can go down first. After seeing Mo Wuji, tell him to come here and admit his mistake as soon as possible. I can show him some leniency for his youth."
"Yes." Kun Yun scoffed inwardly, but still bowed and retreated.
Mo Wuji was the kind of fearless person who would dare to challenge even a true Saint like Luo Xu, let alone this fake Saint Min Yuan. For Min Yuan to expect Mo Wuji to come and admit his mistake was simply a dream.
Even with Min Yuan's strength declining, Kun Yun was still secretly shocked by Mo Wuji's ability to shatter the Great Saint's golden handprint with a single finger and then calmly leave. Furthermore, Mo Wuji's ability to control his body after falling from the Burial God Abyss made Kun Yun realize that he probably only knew less than a tenth of Mo Wuji's true capabilities.
……
Just as Kun Yun was thinking about how to find Mo Wuji, he suddenly received a voice transmission, "Kun Yun, did you trick me into coming here to be dealt with by that Great Saint? If I didn't have some tricks up my sleeve, I would have almost fallen into the hands of that so-called Great Saint."
"Where are you?" Kun Yun exclaimed in surprise, immediately unleashing his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings.
Soon, Kun Yun broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't find Mo Wuji anywhere. If Mo Wuji suddenly ambushed him, he Kun Yun…
Kun Yun didn't dare to think about it.
Mo Wuji's voice came again, "Brother Kun Yun, this place is not a good place. Tell me where that Bitter Heart fellow is, and I'll go borrow something from him myself."
At this moment, Mo Wuji didn't dare to show himself at all. He suspected that if he appeared, he would be captured by that Great Saint. He didn't even dare to cultivate in this Divine Repose Land.
How many years had the Great Saint spent in the Divine Repose Land? He must know this place inside and out. If he dared to cultivate here, who knew if Min Yuan would suddenly ambush him while he was in seclusion?
Kun Yun took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said, "This jade slip contains the information. Go and comprehend it yourself. Also, remember not to try to blast open the formation gate of the Divine Repose Land using the way you came in. Before you can open the gate, you will be captured by the Great Saint."
After saying this, Kun Yun instantly fled. He understood Mo Wuji's meaning. If Mo Wuji's cultivation didn't improve, he wouldn't be able to cooperate with Mo Wuji again. In fact, he didn't want Mo Wuji to be captured by the Great Saint before he could cooperate with him.
As Kun Yun fled, the jade slip he left behind suddenly disappeared. Then, a breeze blew by again, disappearing without a trace. If someone was attentive, they would notice that a small, inconspicuous blade of grass was missing.
