Mor Wuji calmly looked at Bitter Heart, without forcing an exchange. He was certain that Bitter Heart would eventually take the initiative, refusing to believe that such a powerful figure would willingly wither away.

Bitter Heart finally made his decision, pushing the River of Time a bit further forward while simultaneously snatching the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo from Mor Wuji's hand.

As Bitter Heart grasped the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo, Mor Wuji also seized the River of Time, immediately tossing it into the Mortal World. He could sense Bitter Heart's murderous intent, but having dared to come here, he wasn't afraid.

If Bitter Heart dared to make a move, he wouldn't even give Bitter Vegetable any face.

Dark Dao Lord Bitter Heart, a Dao Lord god position after all, let out a long sigh of relief after Mor Wuji pocketed the River of Time. For countless years, the River of Time had given him glory, but also suffering. Would he have ended up in such a state without it?

"We are both satisfied with this transaction. In that case, I will take my leave," Mor Wuji said, cupping his fist before turning to leave the bamboo hut.

Bitter Heart nodded. "Your cultivation level is probably only at the early stage of God King, right? A God King daring to trade with me, Bitter Heart, using such a treasure is quite bold. Aren't you afraid I'll just take your things?"

Mor Wuji chuckled. "You should be glad you didn't try, or else the world would be without a Dark Dao Lord..."

After saying that, Mor Wuji's figure flickered and disappeared. The space around Dark Dao Lord suddenly became restricted.

Bitter Heart's expression drastically changed, and as he was about to stand up, he realized he was completely locked down by void formation patterns.

Just as he was about to tear open the locking formation patterns, Mor Wuji's voice echoed, "Senior Bitter Heart, for the sake of an old acquaintance, I will not bother you today. Don't think about my River of Time again; I don't have a good temper."

Bitter Heart looked in horror at the place where Mor Wuji had disappeared, cold sweat breaking out on his back. He had been monitoring Mor Wuji's divine sense the entire time. How could Mor Wuji have set up a void trapping kill formation around him without him noticing?

He could have torn open the trapping kill formation patterns in an instant, but for experts, much can happen in an instant.

Why are the young people of today so powerful? Bitter Heart thought, and the joy of obtaining the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo and the Hong Meng Life Breath, about to restore his strength, suddenly vanished without a trace. Even his confidence in reclaiming the River of Time after restoring his strength wavered.

Mor Wuji's guess was correct. Bitter Heart did plan to kill Mor Wuji after fully restoring his strength and seize the River of Time.

As for the River of Time being traded to Mor Wuji by him, hah, what was Mor Wuji? How dare he exchange treasures with the Dark Dao Lord?

…

Mor Wuji was sure that Bitter Heart wasn't resigned to letting him take the River of Time. None of these old guys are benevolent, Mor Wuji knew that long ago. So, as he left, he first gave Bitter Heart a warning. He wanted Bitter Heart to be wary and not dare to come looking for him before his strength was fully restored. When Bitter Heart's strength was fully restored, he believed he would no longer fear Bitter Heart.

After obtaining the River of Time, Mor Wuji didn't linger in God's Resting Place. He headed directly towards the array gate that led into God's Resting Place.

God's Resting Place was vast. Even a powerful figure like Bitter Heart was forced by the Great Sage Min Yuan to hide in a remote corner, so he didn't dare to cultivate here ostentatiously. Regardless of Min Yuan's strength, the fact that he dared to wrestle with a sage, even seizing a sage's god position, meant he wasn't a kind soul, nor a simple character.

A month later, Mor Wuji arrived at the array gate leading into God's Resting Place once again.

The number of guards here had increased, but Mor Wuji remained unafraid.

He hadn't revealed all of his abilities when he entered with Kun Yun.

Landing outside the array gate, Mor Wuji transformed into a withered piece of wood, while his storage meridian divine sense began constructing defensive array patterns.

A day later, Mor Wuji suddenly burst forth, his Kunwu Sword transforming into a tearing sword radiance that slammed towards the ripple array gate.

Almost at the same time that Mor Wuji attacked the ripple array gate, a dozen or so experts swarmed towards him. At the same time, the space around Mor Wuji was completely locked down.

As long as they could entangle Mor Wuji and prevent him from leaving God's Resting Place, Mor Wuji would have nowhere to escape. But they were clever, and Mor Wuji was not stupid.

The defensive array that Mor Wuji's storage meridian had constructed blocked the dozen or so experts rushing towards him in the first instance, and at this moment, Mor Wuji's Kunwu Sword had already torn a crack in the ripple array gate.

Just as the defensive array patterns that Mor Wuji had deployed were shattered, Mor Wuji also passed through the crack torn open by the Kunwu Sword, disappearing without a trace.

Watching the direction where Mor Wuji had disappeared, a man wearing a light purple robe had eyes filled with fervor. In all the years of God's Resting Place, Mor Wuji was the first guy who entered and left with such ease.

If he could do the same, why would he still need to be driven around by that false sage?

…

As soon as he left God's Resting Place, Mor Wuji once again felt the oppressive and desolate atmosphere.

This time Mor Wuji didn't care. He fled all the way, and after several days, he stopped and burrowed into the ground.

After deploying concealment god arrays and trapping kill god arrays, busying himself for several days, Mor Wuji finally entered his Mortal World.

In the Mortal World, the first thing he did was to take out the River of Time.

Mor Wuji initially wanted to refine the River of Time and make it his own. But after a day, Mor Wuji completely abandoned this idea.

The River of Time was definitely not something he could refine at his current level. With his current abilities, he could only use the River of Time, not refine it.

However, Mor Wuji still didn't immediately use the River of Time. His storage meridian divine sense constantly stroked and permeated the surface of the River of Time. He believed that if he couldn't refine the River of Time, Bitter Heart probably couldn't either. He didn't trust Bitter Heart; these old guys never like to be at a disadvantage.

After three months of detailed inspection, Mor Wuji found a total of twelve hidden divine sense imprints of varying sizes in the River of Time. He wasn't sure if there were any other divine sense imprints in the River of Time that he hadn't found. With his abilities, he could only do this much for now. If there were any he couldn't find, he could only blame his lack of skill. He could continue searching after his cultivation level increased.

After stripping off all these divine sense imprints and sealing them away, Mor Wuji began to implant divine spirit veins and prepared to cultivate in seclusion.

For his first cultivation session, Mor Wuji implanted eighty-one top-grade divine spirit veins. He hoped to break through to the God King Realm at one go, preferably surpassing the God King level and undergoing tribulation to become a Harmony God expert.

The River of Forgetfulness that Kun Yun mentioned always gave Mor Wuji a bad feeling. He wouldn't feel at ease until his strength reached the Harmony God level.

Stepping into the River of Time, the oppressive and desolate atmosphere of the outside world vanished without a trace, and Mor Wuji even felt the clear aura of the laws of heaven and earth. He didn't feel that there was any discrepancy between the time outside and the time in the River of Time. Just as Kun Yun had told him, the River of Time was a top-tier treasure suitable for cultivation.

The only thing that disappointed Mor Wuji was that the time ratio of the River of Time didn't seem to be very high. He didn't know if it was because he didn't know how to use it, or some other reason. In Mor Wuji's view, the time ratio of the River of Time was at most ten to one.

In other words, ten years of cultivation in the River of Time would be equivalent to one year in the outside world.

Immortal Mortal Technique reversed, quickly forming a major circulation. The divine spirit veins that Mor Wuji had implanted transformed into rings of divine spiritual energy, wrapping Mor Wuji in layers and forming a vortex around him.

Because Mor Wuji used the River of Time, even if he didn't set up any protective arrays or concealment god arrays, the divine sense of outsiders wouldn't be able to detect Mor Wuji's cultivation state. Divine sense that could penetrate time would probably be even more powerful than a sage.

Above Nirvana Learning Academy.

"Boom!" Cang Zhengxing and Xing Mu's attacks finally shattered a petal of the River of Forgetfulness. After a petal of the River of Forgetfulness was shattered, the River of Forgetfulness suddenly stopped expanding. Not only that, but the River of Forgetfulness also slowly contracted.

Due to the contraction of the River of Forgetfulness, the surrounding laws of heaven and earth instantly began to blur, and the heaven and earth spiritual energy also decreased sharply. Some cultivators who were in the midst of cultivation could no longer feel the rapid progress they had experienced before and had no choice but to stop cultivating.

Yan Er also opened her eyes at the first moment. She immediately understood what was happening. In a short period of time, her cultivation level had reached the seventh layer of God Monarch. She was very clear that she couldn't touch something like the River of Forgetfulness. Unable to cultivate, she immediately controlled her flying ship and fled far away. Based on her past experience, this place would become a bloody battlefield. Many cultivators had the same idea as Yan Er, and soon a large number of cultivators formed two waves, one scattered and fleeing, and the other rushed towards the River of Forgetfulness.

Cang Zhengxing excitedly shouted loudly, "Everyone, work harder, and we'll be able to restrain this River of Forgetfulness soon."

"Courting death!" A clear reprimand came, and then a handprint as white as jade fell from the void. Cang Zhengxing and Xing Mu, two late-stage Harmony God experts, immediately felt the surrounding space become restricted.

"Not good, they've come down." Cang Zhengxing ignored his own safety and sacrificed a magic treasure, bombarding the River of Forgetfulness.

"Old guy, hurry up and leave with me." Xing Mu didn't act like Cang Zhengxing. He grabbed Cang Zhengxing, who was preparing to self-detonate, and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. Immediately, the two transformed into a ray of light and disappeared without a trace.

"Boom!" Almost at the moment when Xing Mu pulled Cang Zhengxing away, Cang Zhengxing's magic treasure exploded, and the rainbow spanning the River of Forgetfulness suddenly shattered and disappeared without a trace.

A red lotus fell from the void, and standing on the lotus was a stunning woman in cyan clothes with a face full of frost. Around this woman in cyan clothes were a dozen other equally beautiful women.

The woman in cyan clothes standing on the lotus coldly snorted, and suddenly, countless cultivators surrounding the River of Forgetfulness were turned into bloody mist.

The cultivators in the distance fled even more frantically, as far away as possible.
