In just half an hour, Mo Wuji was completely immersed in Chu Xingzi's knowledge of the Array Dao.
Whenever he saw something interesting, he would constantly use his hands to draw some runes.
Initially, when he did not know anything about arrays, looking at these runes was like reading a book from the heavens, making his head spin. Now that he delved deeper, he realised that every rune had a boundless charm and attraction.
If it was during closed door cultivation, Mo Wuji would still remember to take fasting pills to eat. But now that he was studying these runes and knowledge of the Array Dao, he had completely forgotten about everything else. Only when he was starving did he wake up.
Mo Wuji took a fasting pill, but did not eat it. His eyes stared at one of the runes in a daze.
A Grade 1 Surveillance Rune could monitor everything within a radius of 10 feet. The most important characteristic of the Surveillance Rune was to connect, followed by to turn...
Mo Wuji's gaze shifted away from the rune, and he even frowned. He vaguely felt that this rune was familiar, and very soon, he recalled that this was the rune on the bracelet. No, this rune was even more concise and clear than the one on the bracelet. Mo Wuji was not completely clueless about the Array Dao ever since he started reading Chu Xingzi's knowledge. At this moment, he could faintly feel that this Surveillance Rune was much more advanced than the one on the bracelet, even though it was only a Grade 1 Surveillance Rune.
No, I wasn't thinking about the quality of the rune just now. Mo Wuji patted his head, and finally adjusted his thoughts.
He once again thought about the Surveillance Rune on the bracelet. The bracelet only needed a directional array, so why would there be a Surveillance Rune?
The only possibility was that this rune was used to monitor cultivators entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain. Why would it monitor cultivators entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain?
Mo Wuji shuddered. If this Surveillance Rune could transmit its contents, wouldn't that mean that the news of him killing Dong Lun and obtaining the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal had already been known?
That's not right. According to his knowledge of arrays, this Grade 1 Surveillance Rune could only transmit information within a radius of 10 meters. With such a small area on the bracelet, a Grade 1 Surveillance Rune would definitely not be able to transmit images out of the Five Elements Desolate Domain. If it could not transmit images out, then what was the point of using a Surveillance Rune?
At this point, the answer came to him almost naturally. There was a memory array rune in the bracelet. Once the cultivators left the Five Elements Desolate Domain, they would have to hand over the bracelet. Then the person who took the bracelet would be able to find out what you obtained from the Five Elements Desolate Domain based on the bracelet you handed over.
Mo Wuji took in a deep breath, and his heart was filled with lingering fear. If he did not know about these things, and handed over the bracelet, then everything that he had obtained would be known by others.
At the thought of this, Mo Wuji hurriedly skipped the monitoring array runes and went to look for the memory array runes on the wall. Not long after, Mo Wuji found the array runes. His guess was right. Back then, he had found a similar array pattern in the bracelet.
The array knowledge left behind by Chu Xingzi must not be left behind, it was extremely useful to him. Mo Wuji looked at the unfinished wall carvings and his heart sank. He must have spent two days reading and learning, but in the end, he had only read less than one percent of the content.
In other words, it would take him at least two hundred days to finish reading all these things. And that didn't include the fact that things he couldn't understand would take up too much time.
Then I'll just copy it down.
Mo Wuji made up his mind. Even if he had to spend the rest of his time here, he would copy down all the carvings on the wall.
Taking out a pen and paper, Mo Wuji started to copy down the carvings in a frenzy.
It could be said that Mo Wuji had never copied anything so crazily, other than when he was very young and copying homework before school reopened.
Time passed day by day, and Mo Wuji had already destroyed more than ten of his pens.
This made Mo Wuji extremely worried. He only had a total of 20 pens on him, and this was a habit he had developed when he drew the herbs for Lan Yu. Back then, because the herbs he mentioned were different from Lan Yu's, he used a pen to draw for Lan Yu. From then on, Mo Wuji always carried a few pens with him. Now that he had a storage bag, he threw 20 brushes into it.
Logically speaking, 20 pens would definitely not be enough, but he never thought that 20 pens would not be enough in the Five Elements Desolate Domain.
Fortunately, Mo Wuji's worries were not for the future. By the time he used up his 19th pen, he had already finished copying everything on the wall. The stack of copied paper was as thick as a few books.
Mo Wuji shook his sore wrists. He was at the Great Circle of Channel Opening Stage Level 9, but after 20 consecutive days of copying, he could not take it anymore.
If it was any other cultivator with a similar cultivation level as him, they would probably need a few months to copy. This was not only because his writing speed was faster than others, but because he did not even need to lift his head to copy. His spiritual will swept into his brain, and his hands only needed to keep writing.
Mo Wuji stored the items in his storage bag, it was time to leave. He had already been in the Five Elements Desolate Domain for more than two months. If he delayed any longer, he might not be able to leave the Five Elements Desolate Domain.
Returning to the side of the stone door, he took out the copper key and inserted it into the keyhole. This stone door, which had been bombarded by so many cultivators for so many days, was easily opened with a creaking sound under Mo Wuji's key.
Mo Wuji took out the key and hurried out of the stone door. Perhaps one day, he would come back here again.
When the stone door closed and Mo Wuji was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something. Chu Xingzi had been locked in here for many years, and even though he left behind his array dao knowledge, what about Chu Xingzi himself? Didn't he not leave? Even if he died in here, there would still be ashes.
Mo Wuji was sure that the corpse outside did not belong to Chu Xingzi. If it did, he would not have the key to this stone door.
Mo Wuji thought for a long time, but could not figure out what was going on. In the end, he could only assume that Chu Xingzi was below the ice stairs.
It was better to hurry out. This was not something he could figure out with his current cultivation level. If his cultivation level was high enough, and he met Chu Xingzi again, he would bring his remains out to be buried. After all, Chu Xingzi was still his master.
Mo Wuji quickened his footsteps and left the tunnel, returning to the hall.
There was no one in the hall, but there were two more corpses. All the items on the corpses had been taken away. Mo Wuji scanned the surroundings with his spiritual will, and confirmed that everyone had left. He grabbed his metal pole, lifted his head to ascertain his position, and leapt up.
Fortunately, there was still space for his feet to land on. Along the way, Mo Wuji changed his elemental energy a few times, and grabbed onto the edge of the ice pit that he fell from.
The ice pit had long been flattened by the cold wind, so Mo Wuji was not worried about this. This place had been blasted open before, and even if it was flattened, there would only be a thin layer of ice.
His Tian Ji Pole surged with elemental energy, and after tens of consecutive strikes, the area that was flattened by the ice let out a cracking sound, and a crack appeared.
Mo Wuji exerted more force on his Tian Ji Pole, and a hole appeared in front of him. Outside, it was a vast expanse of whiteness. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan outwards, and after confirming that there was no one outside, he used his body to pass through the hole, and landed on the waist of the ice mountain.
Lying at the waist of the mountain, Mo Wuji used his dagger to dig two holes.
Now that he was alone, he did not have the ability to dig another path of ice stairs. However, this was going downwards, and not upwards. He only needed to continuously dig some holes on the ice mountain.
After a whole day, Mo Wuji finally landed at the foot of the tall ice mountain. At this point, there was no longer anyone here, and the surroundings were silent. Other than the dazzling light that was reflected off the ice mountain, there was nothing else.
…
At the same time, in the depths of a canyon thousands of miles away from the ice mountain, the air was filled with the stench of blood.
Tens of corpses were strewn all over the ground, and the ground was a complete mess. Only the vague leaves of the Spirit Grass could let people guess what had happened here before.
Hou Yucheng slowly wiped the blood off his Desolator, and hung it on his back. His entire person was clean and tidy, and there was not even a speck of dust on his body, and even his hair was not messed up at all.
As for the rest of the people in the canyon, almost all of them had blood stains on their bodies, and their clothes were in a mess.
"Junior apprentice sister Wan 'Er, are you alright?" After doing all this, Hou Yucheng smiled and asked Qu Wan' Er, who was not far away.
Qu Wan 'Er's hair was slightly messy, and there were a few more drops of blood on her body. She looked gratefully at Hou Yucheng, and shook her head. After a while, she said, "Thank you senior apprentice brother Hou just now. If it wasn't for you, I would have lost an arm."
Hou Yucheng smiled faintly, "We're companions, there's no need to mind so much. When I'm in trouble, you'll also help me, right? "
Qu Wan 'Er went silent for a while, then continued, "If I wasn't greedy for that Condensed Radish Grass, you wouldn't have to take the risk to help me."
Hou Yucheng smiled again, "Junior apprentice sister Wan 'Er, you're thinking too much. To me, it doesn't matter if I help more or less. I've already said that we're companions now … "
At this point, he paused for a while, then sighed and continued, "It's a pity that Brother Mo didn't come out from the ice mountain. Speaking of which, I was the one who invited Brother Mo to the ice mountain. If anything happened to Brother Mo, I wouldn't be able to rest easy. "
"Senior apprentice brother Hou seems to be paying special attention to Pill Master Mo?" Qu Wan 'Er could not help but ask. Along the way, Hou Yucheng had mentioned Mo Wuji more than once.
Hou Yucheng looked at the messy canyon in front of him, and for the first time, he said in a low voice, "Because I feel that he's different. He's different from the majority of the people around us."
"Even though senior apprentice brother Hou is in a demon sect, isn't he still different from the people around him? If not for me, senior apprentice brother Hou wouldn't have killed that person. " Qu Wan 'Er said faintly. She liked Hou Yucheng, but it was a pity that Hou Yucheng was close to her, and there didn't seem to be any romantic feelings between them.
