Qu Wan 'er's words stopped abruptly. She looked around at the people around her. No one thought it was strange. It was obvious that this was not the first time this had happened.
At this moment, the few cultivators who had not been blown away by the wind also hurriedly slid down. They didn't even reach one-tenth of the ice peak. If they continued to climb, the higher they went, the more dangerous it would be.
"No one can be sure if there is a Flower of the True Gods up there. If there is no Flower of the True Gods, wouldn't it be a waste of energy to climb up like this?" A female cultivator said as she looked at the peak of the icy mountain.
No one answered her question. Whether there was a Flower of the True Gods or not, it was fine as long as they knew in their hearts. If you don't believe me, you can leave. If you leave, there will be less competition.
Hou Yucheng suddenly stood up and said, "Fellow friends, I feel that even if someone managed to climb up to the peak, it would be hard for them to come down."
"Who do you think you are?" A bearded man glared coldly at Hou Yucheng. He was already at the Yuan Dan Stage, and Hou Yucheng was clearly not at the Yuan Dan Stage yet, yet he dared to spout such arrogant words.
Hou Yucheng was still smiling, not the least bit angered, "I'm not a thing, Heaven Demon Sect's Hou Yucheng is."
Hearing that Hou Yucheng was from the Heavenly Demon Sect, the bearded man did not dare to continue targeting Hou Yucheng. The Heavenly Demon Sect was one of the Three Heavenly Sects, the Heavenly Sword Island, the Heavenly Sound Palace, and the Heavenly Demon Sect. Although the Heavenly Demon Sect was ranked last, this sect was extremely strange. I accidentally put you to death, and you still don't understand what happened.
"I wonder if Brother Hou has any good ideas?" Another person stood up and clasped his fists towards Hou Yucheng.
"I don't dare." Hou Yucheng clasped his fists respectfully and said, "On this icy peak, the cold winds howl all year round, and the higher you go, the stronger the winds get. What I mean is that everyone should work together to dig the ice stairs. That's the only way we can go up together in the safest and most efficient way. "
"Won't the latecomers benefit from this?" the bearded man said with a frown.
Hou Yucheng smiled faintly but did not answer the bearded man's question. The bearded man harrumphed. Even though his cultivation level was higher than Hou Yucheng's, he did not dare to act up here.
A thin and small cultivator took the initiative to say, "With the violent cold wind on this ice peak, it won't take long before the road behind us is flattened by the cold wind. But with so many of us going up, it's impossible for there to be so many Flowers of the True Gods up there. When the time comes, how to distribute them will be a problem. "
The bearded man glared at him. "How are we going to split it? Whoever has the ability can snatch it, and whoever doesn't, scram. "
A few cultivators who had just stepped into the Spirit Building Stage consciously retreated. With their cultivation level, if they were to participate in the digging of the stairs, they would only be helping others.
Seeing that Mo Wuji had no intention of leaving, Qu Wan 'Er frowned slightly. Finally, she took the initiative to say, "Pill Master Mo, why don't you stay here for now?"
Mo Wuji smiled faintly, "There's no need. I will also participate in digging the steps. It's always good to have an extra helping hand."
"Pfft!" A girl could not help but laugh out loud when she heard Mo Wuji's words. Mo Wuji did not have any spirituality flickering around him, he looked very ordinary. As a cultivator, anyone could guess that Mo Wuji's talent was very low and his cultivation level was average.
The higher a cultivator's talent, the greater their spirituality. As a cultivator, they were extremely sensitive to spirituality.
"Little brother, you shouldn't be in the Spirit Building Stage yet, right? If you follow them, I'm afraid that you will only be able to help dig the stairs. It's better for you to stay here. Even if there are Flowers of the True Gods, there won't be many of them. "The girl who laughed out loud added.
This girl's looks were average, and her words carried a hint of mockery. However, Mo Wuji knew that she did not have a bad heart. He probably knew that with his cultivation, it would be fine if he did the hard work, but he might not even be able to reach the peak in the end.
Mo Wuji chuckled, "Many thanks for this sister's warm heart. Since young, I've loved to help others. I'm not even afraid of helping an old man who has fallen. Why would I be afraid of digging the stairs? It's my honour to be able to help my senior brothers and sisters. "
The few cultivators who heard Mo Wuji's words looked at each other. Even Hou Yucheng did not know what Mo Wuji's words meant. However, everyone finally understood Mo Wuji's last sentence. Even though Mo Wuji's cultivation level was low, he was willing to risk his life to dig the stairs.
The bearded man chuckled and said to Mo Wuji, "Kid, you have a bright future ahead of you."
With that, he stared at Hou Yucheng and said, "Now, there are over 60 people who are willing to go up together. How do you think we should split it? We'll start now."
The rest of the people also looked towards Hou Yucheng. Evidently, they hoped that Hou Yucheng would take the lead and reveal the method of digging the stairs.
Hou Yucheng clasped his fists and said, "Originally, I suggested splitting into two groups. Now that there are only 63 people, I suggest that everyone work together to dig a twisted path of the stairs upwards. This ice mountain is very hard. It would be very difficult for one person to dig it. If we work together, it would be more than 10 times easier. "
"Alright, let's do it this way." The bearded man clapped his hands and was the first to take out his magic treasure. It was an exquisite, fine-scaled awl.
The rest of the people did not have any objections. One by one, they took out their own magic treasures. Mo Wuji only had one Tian Ji Pole. He could only take out his Tian Ji Pole.
"Your magic treasure is a pole?" Qu Wan 'Er was speechless. In the cultivation world, there were people who used a metal pole as a magic treasure. However, it was extremely rare. With Mo Wuji's low cultivation level, he actually dared to use a metal pole as a magic treasure. He was definitely the first person to do so.
"Good, you have character. Haha." The bearded man chuckled and took his position.
Hou Yucheng was also a little shocked. He thought that Mo Wuji's magic treasure might be related to lightning. However, he did not expect Mo Wuji to take out a metal pole in the end.
Very quickly, he regained his composure and said loudly, "Everyone, let's start together."
"Boom boom boom boom …" Numerous magic treasures struck the ice mountain at the same time, causing a huge commotion. With the addition of elemental energy, a thin layer of stairs appeared on the hard ice mountain in just one strike.
Everyone was overjoyed. This ice mountain indeed required everyone to work together. This was definitely not an effect of one plus one. In fact, it was far greater than one plus one.
Because Mo Wuji's cultivation level was the lowest, he was placed at the edge. This was the most dangerous place, but he had no way of rejecting it. After knowing that there might be Immeasurable Soul-severing Crystals here, Mo Wuji was determined to climb up.
Fortunately, the power of Mo Wuji's Tian Ji Pole was not bad, so no one rejected his participation. After all, to the rest of the people here, Mo Wuji, who was only in the Channel Opening Stage, could not compete for the Flower of the True Gods. He was basically a free labourer.
The rumbling continued upwards as ice shards flew in all directions. The crowd also slowly moved towards the peak of the mountain. Behind the crowd, there was a twisted ice path. This ice path formed an'S 'shape on the ice mountain as it meandered upwards.
In just a day's time, the group had climbed to the waist of the ice mountain. The'S 'shape of the ice path behind them gradually became blurry.
"Friend, I believe that everyone here has underestimated you. I am Cheng Qiyu from the Golden Spear Sect." The person closest to Mo Wuji was a youth with a medium build. The higher he climbed, the more astonished he became. This was because the area that Mo Wuji opened up was not smaller than the area that he opened up. In fact, it was even larger. What made him even more puzzled was that every time Mo Wuji opened up an ice path, he would first use his metal pole to create a slightly deeper hole in the ice. This wasted a lot of elemental energy. This made him realise that Mo Wuji's strength was not as simple as the Channel Opening Stage.
"Mo Wuji, rogue cultivator. Brother Cheng's name is rather unique. " Mo Wuji smiled faintly. Along the way, he could tell that this Cheng Qiyu's strength should be around Spirit Building Stage Level 4. However, his endurance did not seem to be much stronger than his. Mo Wuji did not consume any pills along the way, so he still had some energy left. This Cheng Qiyu seemed to be getting tired.
Cheng Qiyu laughed self-deprecatingly, "I changed my name myself. My original name was Cheng Qiyu. The Sheng family produced a genius cultivator, Cheng Heshen, so they wanted us to give up most of our cultivation resources to use on that Cheng Heshen. I was not satisfied, so I left the Sheng family. Luckily, I entered the Golden Spear Sect. "
Mo Wuji had some doubts in his heart. Where did this Cheng Qiyu get his slot to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain from? However, Mo Wuji would not ask about such things.
"Brother Mo, you're a rogue cultivator, yet you're able to reach here …" Before Cheng Qiyu could finish his sentence, an icy cold wind swept past.
This gust of wind came without any warning, it came suddenly.
Originally, the people here had been opening up the ice mountain for a day without encountering any attacks from the wind. They all felt that their previous thinking was too conservative. Who knew that just as everyone let down their guard, this violent gust of wind would suddenly attack them.
More than ten figures were swept up by the gale and directly disappeared from the'S 'shaped ice road. To be swept away from such a place, the chances of survival were basically slim.
Mo Wuji and Cheng Qiyu were also swept away by this violent gust of wind. Mo Wuji's reaction was extremely fast. The moment the gust of wind arrived, he had already thrown himself onto the ice step. At the same time, he pulled out his knife and stabbed it into the ice hole. His actions were as smooth as flowing water. He did not waste a single breath of time. Clearly, he had thought this through countless times.
After doing all this, Mo Wuji still had the time to reach behind him.
Cheng Qiyu, who had already been swept out of the ice step, was rather lucky. One of his feet was caught by Mo Wuji, and his entire body fell onto the ice step.
The moment he fell, the force of the wind would be much weaker. Cheng Qiyu hurriedly grabbed onto the groove on the ice step behind him, not daring to let go.
The howling icy gale left as quickly as it came. When the wind disappeared, everyone realised that there were less than 10 cultivators on the ice step. Many of the spots were empty.
"Big Brother Mo, thank you." Even though Cheng Qiyu's cultivation was higher than Mo Wuji's, he still bowed emotionally towards Mo Wuji and called him Big Brother.
Mo Wuji had just saved his life, so his gratitude came from the bottom of his heart. One must know that in that situation, even if he had the time to stretch out his hand, no one else would have done so. Reaching out to save someone in that situation was equivalent to putting oneself in greater danger.
Mo Wuji patted Cheng Qiyu's shoulder and chuckled, "Don't mind it. I've told you before, I love to help others. Don't you see that I'm here digging ice steps for everyone? "
