Mo Wuji was very clear that since the Howling Gale Beasts were fighting nearby, the treasure they were fighting for must also be nearby. The reason why they fought further and further away was probably because they did not want to cause too much damage to the surroundings. Hence, the treasure that the Howling Gale Beasts were fighting for must be nearby.
Mo Wuji immediately searched in the direction where the sandstorm came from, and in less than half an incense's time, he found a hillside that was rich in spiritual energy. The hillside was not steep, and was filled with verdant greenery. This verdant green formed a perfect contrast with the desolate Lost Sky Ruins.
But there was nothing here? Mo Wuji was afraid that he had seen wrongly, and used his spiritual will to scan the hillside over and over again, even seeping into the ground. But he really did not find anything. If there was anything different, it would be that there were two huge rocks on the hillside, and beside the rocks was a temporary cave.
Needless to say, this cave belonged to one of the Howling Gale Beasts.
Since this place was already occupied by one Howling Gale Beasts, and the other one still came to snatch something, it meant that this thing was not to be underestimated.
The roars from afar came again, and it seemed like it would not be long before the Howling Gale Beasts returned.
Mo Wuji took out the circular flying ship. Since he could not find it, it meant that he was not fated with it. It was better to leave early, before the Howling Gale Beasts returned.
But why was the cave of the Howling Gale Beasts built beside the two huge rocks? Before Mo Wuji left, he took another look at the space between the two boulders. He saw a stalk of light grey grass.
This grass was too ordinary, only half a foot tall, and had no branches. Or rather, it was not a grass, but a blade of grass. This was because the top of the grass was in the form of a leaf.
This grass did not have any spiritual herb aura, and did not look like a spiritual herb at all. The reason why Mo Wuji noticed it was because all the weeds around this light grey grass had been plucked out, and only this stalk was left, and it was also very conspicuous.
Could it be that this inconspicuous, weed-like thing was a treasure?
The roars from afar were getting closer, and Mo Wuji did not have time to think about it. Whether it was a treasure or not, he would take it away first.
Mo Wuji used his fastest speed to dig up the grass and place it into the jade box. He then entered the round flying ship and in the next instant, the flying ship turned into a black line and disappeared into the distance.
A few minutes later, Mo Wuji heard the Howling Wind Beast's enraged voice. It was as though someone had snatched its wife away.
Could it be that the grass he dug up was really a treasure? Mo Wuji took out the stalk of grass. The light grey color was plain, not the slightest bit out of place, and not the slightest bit strange. The only strange thing was that this stalk of grass was covered with some strange patterns.
After staring at the grass for a whole hour, Mo Wuji helplessly sent the stalk of grass back into his storage ring. He really couldn't tell what was so precious and rare about this grass.
After the incident with the Howling Wind Beast, Mo Wuji was even more cautious. He did not dare to cultivate and could only study Chu Xingzi's Array Dao while driving the flying ship forward.
No matter how vigilant he was, after flying for half a month, he was still targeted by a huge demonic beast.
This time, it was a flying demonic beast that was staring at him. It looked somewhat similar to an owl. Its two eyes were like two huge lanterns and its body was many times bigger than his flying ship.
Initially, Mo Wuji still wanted to avoid this huge flying demonic beast. But before his flying ship could turn, a huge wing flapped over.
After his vision turned blurry, Mo Wuji's flying ship was sent plummeting by this huge wing. If it weren't for the airship's defensive restrictions, his airship would have already fallen apart from the impact.
Mo Wuji panicked as he focused all his spiritual will on the flying ship. He forcefully changed the direction of the flying ship and just like that, it flew diagonally.
When the flying demonic beast saw that Mo Wuji was not hit by its wing, it chased after him with no intentions of letting Mo Wuji go.
Mo Wuji filled up all the spirit stone grooves of the flying ship with Earth grade spirit stones and he used all his might to control the flying ship to fly forward.
Even so, he still couldn't abandon the flying demonic beast behind him. That demonic beast seemed to have some enmity with him as it followed closely behind Mo Wuji's flying ship. It seemed like it would not rest until it caught up to Mo Wuji.
Fortunately, even though Mo Wuji could not shake off the flying demonic beast, he was not caught by it.
One escaping and one chasing lasted for a few days. Originally, Mo Wuji wanted to slow down a little and wait for the demonic beast to catch up to him before throwing a few lightning balls at it. However, when he thought of the demonic beast's strength, he did not dare to take the risk. With his Yuan Dan Stage cultivation, he would probably be killed by the demonic beast before he could even release any lightning bolts.
There was no other way, he could only continue escaping.
Another two days later, Mo Wuji was pleasantly surprised to find that the flying demonic beast that was chasing him had suddenly disappeared.
Before Mo Wuji could rejoice, his flying ship was pulled by a terrifying force as it dived downwards once again.
Mo Wuji's spiritual will swept outwards. This time, it was not the demonic beast but the suction force from the ground. He was in the middle of a boundless swamp and the suction force was coming from the swamp.
The suction force was getting stronger and stronger. Even if Mo Wuji controlled the flying ship to fly upwards, he would not be able to avoid this terrifying suction force.
Mo Wuji simply kept the flying ship and his entire body fell from the sky.
"Pu!" Mo Wuji was directly swallowed by the mud of the swamp.
Initially, Mo Wuji thought that the flying ship was unable to resist the suction force. Now that he was in the swamp, he realised that even without the flying ship, he was still being pulled downwards by the suction force.
If he continued to descend, even if he did not suffocate to death, he would be squeezed to death by the endless pressure of the swamp. Mo Wuji's elemental energy surged and he finally stopped his descent.
He slowly and carefully climbed upwards. Initially, every time he climbed up a little, he would sink back down very quickly. But in the end, Mo Wuji gradually grasped the method. Using his spiritual will and elemental energy, his climbing speed increased by quite a bit.
With his cultivation, he might not suffocate to death in this swamp for half a year or even a year. However, if he could not climb up, he would eventually suffocate to death. For a cultivator that was about to step into the True Lake Stage to suffocate to death in a swamp, that would really be a joke.
After a few days, Mo Wuji relaxed even more and began to cultivate as he climbed upwards. He followed his own modified cultivation technique and reversed the Immortal Mortal Technique to cultivate. His cultivation actually improved by quite a bit. Moreover, by reversing the cultivation technique, his climbing speed became even faster.
The spiritual energy at the bottom of the swamp was not only rich and dense, it was also very pure.
As he cultivated and climbed upwards, Mo Wuji was no longer as anxious as before.
No matter how fast he was, the speed at which he climbed up was far slower than the speed at which he sunk down like a meteor. Just like that, he climbed for seven to eight days. When Mo Wuji felt the light in front of him, he knew that he should be able to climb up again.
Before Mo Wuji could rush up, his two ankles were suddenly wrapped around by something. In the next instant, an even stronger force came from his ankles. Mo Wuji, who had already climbed up the swamp, was immediately pulled down again.
After being trapped in the swamp for so many days, even when he was suddenly pulled down, Mo Wuji was still extremely calm. He used his spiritual will to scan downwards. The thing that wrapped around his ankles seemed to be two rattan like objects.
Seeing that this force was going to pull him to who knows where, Mo Wuji anxiously used the Scholar's Heart in his Mind Palace to cover his ankles.
A violent tremor came from the ground. The thing that wrapped around Mo Wuji's ankles was instantly turned into ashes by the Scholar's Heart. Mo Wuji's entire body loosened, and he increased his speed to struggle out of the swamp.
Just now, when he used the Scholar's Heart to burn off the rattan around his ankles, he could feel that this thing was not simple. Otherwise, it would not have caused such a violent tremor in the surroundings.
It was probably frightened by Mo Wuji's flames. After another day, when Mo Wuji struggled out of the swamp, the thing that wrapped around his ankles did not appear again.
Mo Wuji laid on the surface of the swamp. Looking around, he could only see swamps everywhere, and the sky was a patch of grey. There was no direction at all, and there was no sense of north, south, east or west.
After hesitating for a while, Mo Wuji took out a low grade spiritual flying ship. He wanted to try and see if he could use a spiritual flying ship like an ordinary ship. At least it would not sink in this swamp.
However, Mo Wuji was soon disappointed. Just as he took out his flying ship, it sank rapidly. Mo Wuji did not even have the chance to keep it.
Seeing that his surroundings were all the same, Mo Wuji helplessly chose a direction based on his intuition. He decided to cultivate while moving forward. Ever since he started cultivating, he had experienced too many things. He had opened 102 meridians, so it was not impossible for him to cultivate while moving forward.
Perhaps Mo Wuji was the only one who was cultivating and travelling at the same time.
…
Falling Ruins. This place looked more like a temporary city square. There were messy buildings and some scattered stalls everywhere. With one look, one would think that this place had not been built for long.
In reality, the Falling Ruins was formed even earlier than some of the big cultivation cities in the Zhen Mo Continent. After so many years, the reason why the Falling Ruins had not become a real city was not only because the spiritual energy here was thin and it was remote, but also because very few people would stay here for long.
No one stayed in the Falling Ruins for long, and the spiritual energy was thin. Logically, very few people would come here. However, this was not the case. The Falling Ruins never lacked people.
This was because the Falling Ruins was at the edge of the Lost Sky Ruins. Even though the Zhen Mo Continent was vast, there were not many places like the Falling Ruins that could hide and escape easily. That's right, the Falling Ruins existed to hide from enemies. In the Zhen Mo Continent, almost half of the cultivators would hide in the Falling Ruins when they were being chased by enemies.
