"You're actually fine?" The bearded man stared at Mo Wuji in shock. Out of the 60 over people, more than 10 were gone in an instant. Mo Wuji was at the edge, and his cultivation was the lowest. Logically speaking, Mo Wuji should have been the first to be swept away, but in reality, Mo Wuji was not among the 10 people who were swept away.
Mo Wuji chuckled, "I want to serve everyone, and strive to help everyone reach the summit. We haven't even reached it yet, so how could anything happen to me?"
"Not only is he fine, the person beside him was also saved by him," A tall man glanced at Mo Wuji and said.
Qu Wan'Er finally started to believe Hou Yucheng's words. Mo Wuji was indeed a little strange. How could a Channel Opening Stage cultivator be able to survive in such a situation?
Only Cheng Qiyu understood what was going on, and he said in admiration, "Big Brother Mo, I finally understand why you had to dig an ice cave every time. So it was to save your life."
Just as Mo Wuji was about to speak, he suddenly thought of something, and bent down to pick up a piece of ice. When this piece of ice returned to his hand, Mo Wuji was even more certain of one thing. What he was holding was not ice, but a type of jade that looked exactly like ice.
This place was halfway up the mountain, so it was not a coincidence that a jade that looked exactly like ice would appear here. The only possibility was that this thing was man-made.
Why would someone place something that looked exactly like ice at the waist of the mountain? Unless...
As he thought of this, Mo Wuji sat down on the ice step, and placed his hand into the ice cave that he had just dug. Following which, Mo Wuji was even more certain that it was not ice at the bottom of the ice cave, but a type of stone that looked exactly like ice.
"With your low cultivation, it's already not bad that you managed to preserve your life here. I didn't think that in such a dangerous situation, you would still think of saving others." The bearded man looked at Mo Wuji and chuckled. In his heart, he guessed that fellas like Mo Wuji were already extinct.
Mo Wuji stood up and chuckled, "Because I'm a good person, and I want to serve everyone. As long as everyone is happy, that's true happiness. I don't mind. "
Qu Wan 'Er looked at Mo Wuji speechlessly. If she did not personally witness Mo Wuji using the Six-footed Lightning Crocodile to plot against Huo Zhenghu, she would have really believed Mo Wuji's words.
Initially, she also thought that Mo Wuji really did not have the ability to save Huo Zhenghu. However, after thinking back to the situation, she realised that not only could Mo Wuji not have the ability to save Huo Zhenghu, he even purposely lured the lightning crocodile to attack Huo Zhenghu.
After finding out that Mo Wuji was a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner, and even obtained a placing in the Five Elements Pill Competition, Qu Wan 'Er was sure that Mo Wuji was not the kind of person that served everyone unconditionally. However, she did not dislike Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji's image of a tough guy was deeply engraved in her heart. She really admired people like Mo Wuji. For trash like Huo Zhenghu, death was death.
Hou Yucheng was even more certain that his judgement of Mo Wuji was not simple. He also clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, keep up the good work and continue to attack. Next time when the gale comes, pay attention. After all, this thing comes without warning."
Mo Wuji's heart was filled with hesitation. He no longer wanted to continue digging upwards. He guessed that underneath this ice mountain, there was a high possibility that there was a huge structure built from a material similar to ice. He wondered if he could dig all the way down by himself if he were to dig all the way down from this spot.
"Everyone wait … there's something here that isn't ice. It should be ice jade …" A surprised voice called out. Following which, a woman raised up a piece of crushed ice.
Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. It seemed like he was not the only one who discovered it. Just now, in order to avoid the gale, everyone fell to the ground. It was normal for others to discover it.
The bearded man grabbed the crushed ice in the woman's hand. After a short moment of inspection, he said with certainty, "This dao friend is right. It's not ice down there."
Hou Yucheng also took a step forward and received the ice shard. After a few breaths, Hou Yucheng passed the crushed ice to another cultivator and nodded, "If I'm not wrong, there should be a huge palace down there. This palace is completely built from ice jade. I wonder who would have the guts to do so. "
Hearing Hou Yucheng's words, everyone inhaled a breath of cold air.
An ice jade palace that was as huge as this ice mountain? How many ice jade would be used? If all these ice jade were to be transported out, how many gold coins would it be worth?
"I suggest that everyone start digging from here." After a short period of silence, another cultivator stood up and said.
Compared to the unreliable Flower of the True Gods at the summit, the palace below was much more attractive.
No one objected to this suggestion. Everyone stared at the ground with shining eyes. Perhaps what awaited them was a palace filled with treasures.
When Cheng Qiyu saw Mo Wuji casually throw away a piece of crushed ice, his heart skipped a beat. Even though he didn't examine the ice shards, he could guess that they were ice jades. In other words, Mo Wuji had long discovered the ice jade, it was just that he did not mention it.
Thinking about how Mo Wuji was only in the Channel Opening Stage, his true strength was not any lower than his, and he even managed to survive the gale. Not only that, Mo Wuji even saved his life. One must know that Mo Wuji's position was the most likely position to be swept away by the gale.
In his heart, Cheng Qiyu was determined to befriend Mo Wuji. Not only was Mo Wuji his benefactor, he was definitely an intelligent person with a bright future.
Tens of magic treasures no longer opened up the ice staircase, but started to bombard downwards.
Huge chunks of ice were blasted away, and the circular hole became bigger and bigger.
"There is indeed an ice jade building below." The bearded man grabbed a piece of crushed ice the size of a washbasin and laughed. The crushed ice in his hand was actually an ice jade.
"It could also be an ice jade mountain." A slightly cold voice interrupted the bearded man's ecstasy.
The bearded man's smile instantly disappeared. He grunted, but did not say anything. Instead, he took out his awl and smashed it down.
It was not that he did not want to speak, but he knew that the other party was right. Because it was possible that this ice mountain was indeed an ice jade mountain. Even though he had never heard of such a huge ice jade mountain, it did not mean that it did not exist.
Mo Wuji was very clear that this was not an ice jade mountain, but a huge palace. Even if this was an ice jade mountain, the middle of the ice jade mountain must have been hollowed out and built into a huge palace.
He had dug all the way from the foot of the mountain to here, so he could clearly hear the difference in the sound. Even though the hole they dug was not even 3 meters deep, there was already a slight rustling sound. This meant that the bottom was empty.
"Whether this is an ice mountain or not, there should be a huge palace below. I can already hear the difference in the sound. Everyone, let's put in more effort. "Hou Yucheng stood up to speak.
Hou Yucheng's cultivation level was not the highest, but he came from the Heaven Demon Sect. Without any Heaven Seeking Palace cultivators here, the Heaven Demon Sect's position was definitely one of the best. Moreover, he had his own abilities, so his suggestions had not been wrong up till now. Thus, when he suggested to continue digging, no one had any objections.
The sound of magic treasures bombarding the ice mountain was incessant. No one dared to slack off, and all of them used their full strength to bombard the middle of the mountain.
Along the way, another gust of wind swept over, but this time, no one was swept away. Everyone was already at the bottom of the mountain, and 90% of the wind's power was blocked outside.
"We've been digging for so long, but there's still no reaction. How much longer do we have to dig? "One of the cultivators asked with a lack of confidence.
Following his voice was a crashing sound. While this cultivator was asking this question, Mo Wuji's metal pole had blasted open a pitch black hole.
"We're through!" The overjoyed bearded man was the first to land by Mo Wuji's side, and the fine-scaled awl in his hand struck the hole that Mo Wuji had just blasted open. The hole became even bigger, and the bottom was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. Even when the crushed ice fell, there was no echo.
"You're not bad, kid. You're actually the first person to blast open this place, hahahaha …" The bearded man laughed heartily.
At this moment, everyone stopped their attacks. The hole that Mo Wuji and the bearded man had blasted open was big enough for a few people to enter at the same time, so there was no need to continue expanding it. If the hall collapsed, it would be a loss that outweighs the gain.
"Brother Mo, many thanks. This time, I'm basking in your glory." Hou Yucheng also walked to Mo Wuji's side, and clasped his fists to thank Mo Wuji.
Hou Yucheng was originally a guide, and even he thanked Mo Wuji. Among the rest of the cultivators, there were also people who came over to nod or clasp their fists to thank Mo Wuji.
"How do we go down like this? Who knows how deep it is? "The bearded man stared at the pitch black, unfathomably deep hole and said with a frown.
This place was so deep that no one's eyes could see the bottom. After all, even the sound of crushed ice falling could not be heard. Or rather, other than Mo Wuji, no one else could see what was down there.
Mo Wuji's expression did not change, but his heart was filled with joy. He did not expect that spiritual will could be used in such a way. His eyes could not see clearly what was down there, but his spiritual will was able to clearly sense what was down there.
There was indeed an incomparably huge palace below them, and the bottom of the palace was about 100 meters high. A height of 100 meters, any ordinary person would fall to their death. There was not a single ordinary person here, so Mo Wuji estimated that even if everyone here jumped down at the same time, only a few would be injured.
There seemed to be more than 10 large doors around the palace. There were also a few unknown objects floating in the middle of the palace, and they looked like lamps.
"I'll jump down first to scout the path for everyone." Just as everyone was considering whether they should use a rope to jump down, Mo Wuji suddenly said.
"You're going to jump down?" Not only the bearded man, everyone present looked at Mo Wuji in shock. Was this fella crazy? Or was he really here to sacrifice his life for everyone?
Mo Wuji said seriously, "I've already said that I'm a good person, and I'm here to serve everyone. Everyone, wait for my good news."
With that, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to jump down.
"Who has an illumination stone?" At almost the same instant that Mo Wuji jumped down, someone thought of the illumination stone.
