Even though the five of them had their own flying treasures, Mo Wuji was still the slowest.
In less than two hours, the five of them arrived at an overgrown area. Within the weeds, there were broken walls and some traces of ancient buildings.
Mo Wuji had been here before. Back then, he spent a few days to reach this place, but now, he only used less than two hours.
"This place is filled with a type of disgusting bugs. When we return, we will exterminate these things." Mo Wuji said as the few of them flew past this patch of weeds.
Feng Zhenqiu hurried to say, "You must not, these bugs must not be alarmed. Once they are angered, even a True God Stage expert might not be able to escape."
Mo Wuji said doubtfully, "That can't be, I've passed by this place before, and I've killed quite a number of bugs."
What was Mo Wuji's cultivation level then, and what was his current cultivation level? Moreover, there were four True God Stage experts with him, so how could he be afraid of these bugs?
Feng Zhenqiu looked at Mo Wuji and shook his head. The ignorant were fearless, "Alliance head, you can only say that you were lucky, or that you walked through a larval area. Maybe you didn't stay for too long, and didn't anger the adults here. Once the adults here are angered, they can fly, and they won't rest until they are dead. No matter who angers them, they will cling to you and suck your flesh dry. "
Mo Wuji shivered when he heard this. This was too scary. Fortunately, he had left immediately after crossing this area of weeds. Otherwise, being surrounded by these bugs, Mo Wuji did not dare to think about it …
"There was once a True God Stage cultivator who passed by here. He had already passed, but he suddenly felt unhappy, so he started to burn the bugs here. In the end, he angered the Bug King, and this True God Stage expert was devoured by countless bugs." Feng Zhenqiu seemed to be afraid that Mo Wuji did not understand, so he took the initiative to explain.
Xing Huang also said, "Dean Feng is right. The bugs here have another name called Tarsal Bone Bugs. Once they set their sights on someone, that person will never be able to escape. Not only that, these bugs can even drill through the skin and into the bone marrow. Even a True God Stage expert would not be able to stop them. "
"Doesn't that mean that no one can control these bugs?" Mo Wuji asked in surprise.
"Otherwise, these insects can be exterminated by fire …" Feng Zhenqiu explained.
Mo Wuji was slightly confused, "Dean Feng, you just said that the True God Stage expert used fire, but it was also swallowed by the Tarsal Bone Worms?"
Feng Zhenqiu nodded, "That's right, fire is indeed the nemesis of the worms here, but you have to see what kind of fire it is. Not all flames can exterminate the worms here. For example, Protector Xing also had a type of flame, but his flame was mainly used for refining. This flame can also kill the insects here. Once all the insects here swarm over, his flame will be lacking. "
Xing Huang also said, "Dean Feng is right. Flames are also divided into different grades. My flames are mainly used for refining weapons, not for attacking enemies."
"Actually, if you really want to kill those Tarsal Bone Worms, we have someone here who can do it." Great Evolution Sect's True God Stage Elder Feng Zhe's gaze landed on Heavenly Demon Sect's Fang Zhentian.
Feng Zhenqiu agreed, "Indeed, if Sect Head Fang were to take action, these bugs might really be exterminated."
Fang Zhentian shook his head, "I can indeed exterminate a portion of these bugs, or perhaps escape. But to say that I can kill all of these Tarsal Bone Worms, I can't do it. "
Mo Wuji was even more shocked. Even four True God Stage experts said that they couldn't do it, how strong were these Tarsal Bone Worms?
"Actually, Dean Feng is right. There is a type of flame that can burn these worms." As Fang Zhentian spoke, he pointed towards the direction of the Rooster Star, "Previously, that Lu Hao outside the Lost Sky Ruins said that a few days ago, there was a green flame that soared into the sky. I suspect that it could be the Scholar's Heart …"
Hearing about the Scholar's Heart, the rest of them looked at Fang Zhentian in shock.
Other than Mo Wuji, all the True God Stage experts here knew about the Scholar's Heart. This type of flame looked gentle and beautiful on the surface, but in reality, it was violent and destructive. Once one was provoked by this fire, the outcome would be to be turned into ashes.
Fang Zhentian continued to explain, "Alliance Head Mo might not know how terrifying the Scholar's Heart is. This type of flame looks like a beautiful green robe, calm and tranquil. But once this fire is allowed to wreak havoc, the terrifying scene would be far worse than what that Lu Hao described, turning half the sky green. That kind of temperature, would cause you to lose your will to resist, and then disappear without a trace.
As he said this, Fang Zhentian chuckled, "If one can refine this type of flame, and throw out the Scholar's Heart, there's no need to talk about those worms, even that fella hiding amongst the worms, keke …"
Mo Wuji thought in his heart, these True God Stage experts, were indeed not simple people. Back when he first came here, he guessed that these worms were reared by humans based on the traces of arrays in the broken walls. He didn't expect these fellas to know, but no one touched them.
The speed of the five was extremely fast. A few days later, the five of them crossed an extremely vast desert.
The moment they crossed the desert, Feng Zhenqiu requested for the five of them to stop.
In front of them was a mountain that was not very tall. At the top of the mountain was a small lake with an extremely wide circumference.
Standing on the hill slightly further away, Mo Wuji could see that the water in the lake was very clear, and even had some flowing ripples. There was also a faint smell of sulphur in the surroundings.
"Dean Feng, let's go to the lake on the peak to take a look." Mo Wuji took the initiative to suggest.
Granny Linglong only left a messy flying message, and there was no direction at all. Mo Wuji could only follow the direction of the green flame that appeared in the Lost Sky Ruins a few days ago to find this place.
Feng Zhenqiu said with a serious expression, "If we offend the Tarsal Bone Worms, we might still have a chance of survival. But if we go to that green lake, then I guess no one here will be able to return alive."
Mo Wuji looked at Feng Zhenqiu suspiciously. Feng Zhenqiu's eyes revealed a hint of passion, but it quickly disappeared, "I've been here before, it was a volcano. But now, the mouth of the volcano has become a green lake … "
Feng Zhenqiu took a deep breath, "If I'm not wrong, this green lake is not water, but fire. That fire is the Scholar's Heart that Sect Head Fang mentioned previously …"
"What?" Mo Wuji looked at Feng Zhenqiu in disbelief, "Dean Feng, there are small ripples flowing on the surface of the green lake, and there is no heat at all. How can it be the flame of the Scholar's Heart?"
This time, Feng Zhenqiu did not answer. Fang Zhentian continued, "Dean Feng is right, this should be the Scholar's Heart. The Scholar's Heart looks gentle and peaceful on the surface, and does not have a single bit of devastation or terror. In fact, it makes people yearn for it, but this is also the scariest part of the Scholar's Heart. Alliance Head Mo, look at the gentle surface of the lake, and there are some ripples on it. In fact, those are the green fire markings of the Scholar's Heart. The reason why the Scholar's Heart is so scary is because all its heat is hidden within, and no one can feel it from the outside. Once this flame is ignited, this entire place can be burnt to ashes. "
Xing Huang also sighed, "Looks like the green flame that shot into the sky a few days ago was the power of the birth of the Scholar's Heart. I've heard that people have kept this flame before, but that was before it was born. Once it is born, this flame is an invincible existence. "
"Alliance Head, regardless of whether Linglong is here or not, we can't stay here any longer." Feng Zhenqiu sighed in his heart, and took the initiative to say.
"Wait …" Mo Wuji suddenly took a few steps forward, and lowered his head to look at the ground.
Seeing that Mo Wuji seemed to have discovered something, the rest of them did not disturb Mo Wuji.
After an entire incense's time, Mo Wuji suddenly lifted his head and said, "Everyone, there are faint traces of array dao here. Defender Xing, help me forge a few positional array flags, I'll take a look. "
Xing Huang immediately responded, and took out a smithing furnace. He raised his hand and shot out a ball of fire. A few materials were thrown into the furnace by Xing Huang, and the crowd saw Xing Huang's hands move like a blooming flower, and hand seals continuously landed on the furnace.
Mo Wuji, who was originally inspecting the array base, was also shocked by Xing Huang's methods. His face was slightly burning. He also knew how to forge array flags, but compared to Xing Huang, the array flags that he forged could only be considered as items forged by a smithy.
Moreover, he had never specially learnt smithing, and had always thought that forging array flags did not require a furnace. Now that he saw Xing Huang forging array flags in a smithing furnace, he realised that he had always been an amateur at forging array flags.
Xing Huang's speed was extremely fast, and in a short incense's time, he had already grabbed a bunch of positional array flags and passed them to Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji simply refined these array flags. He frequently set up arrays, and even Tian Ji Sect's sect protecting array took him two years to set up. One year was spent on researching array dao, mainly on how to set up Tian Ji Sect's defensive array, and another year was spent on setting up the grand array.
Now that he refined Xing Huang's array flags, he realised how trashy the array flags he used previously were. If he used Xing Huang's array flags to set up Tian Ji Sect's sect protecting array, he would not even need a year's time, and the grand array would be much better than the one he set up previously.
This thought flashed past, and Mo Wuji did not think about it anymore. No matter how good Xing Huang's array flags were, he could not bring Xing Huang along with him at all times. He could only ask Xing Huang to help him forge some array flags before he went to Zhen Mo Continent.
Over ten array flags were slowly placed in different positions, and the rest of them could clearly feel the changes in the surrounding terrain. However, they could not pinpoint the exact changes.
In terms of cultivation, any one of them could easily leave Mo Wuji in the dust. In terms of array dao, other than Xing Huang, no one here could match up to Chu Xingzi's legacy.
