Mo Wuji stopped. In front of him was an open gravestone entrance. The tombstone had been tossed aside. There were more than ten corpses outside the tombstone. There was not a single person in sight. Dense immortal spiritual energy gushed out from the entrance. Even though Mo Wuji was the last to arrive, he knew that this tomb wasn't simple.
After a short moment of hesitation, Mo Wuji entered through the entrance.
A few meters wide slanted path appeared in front of Mo Wuji. If he did not know that this was a tombstone, Mo Wuji would have thought that he was walking on a wide road.
Mo Wuji increased his speed, and after half an incense's time, he stopped at a small plaza. There were at least a dozen statues erected around the square, and in front of each statue was a tablet with a large paragraph of text. Around the square, there were at least a dozen forks. With a sweep of his spiritual will, he could see that each of the forks led to an endless depth. It looked like an underground labyrinth.
Mo Wuji's spiritual will scanned across the largest statue. Below the statue, there was a tablet inscribed with the name Lifeless Emperor. There were also some records of Lifeless Emperor's achievements as the founding ancestor of the Lifeless Dao Sect. From this record, Mo Wuji knew that the Lifeless Dao Sect was established beside the Lifeless River. In other words, the Lifeless River was even older than the Lifeless Dao Sect.
Mo Wuji was no longer interested in the engravings at the back. As for the rest of the sculptures, he only gave them a casual glance. Looking at the words on them, he hurriedly left the plaza and chose a path to enter.
The passage became narrower and narrower, and traces of a fight could be seen everywhere. There was even a corpse with its skull smashed in.
Boom! A dull thud resounded from the side of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji subconsciously took a few steps back, only to realise that there were only some stone walls beside him.
Mo Wuji's spiritual will scanned through the stone walls of the passageway, but he discovered that his spiritual will was completely unable to penetrate through.
"Boom!" Another two muffled sounds rang out, and a crack appeared in the passage not far from him.
In an instant, Mo Wuji saw clearly that it was not a crack, but a crack in the stone door. Because the two of them were fighting, the stone door was blasted open.
It seemed that he was late. There were many stone doors in the middle of the passageways. He was late and the stone doors were closed, but he didn't know it until now. With his fastest speed, Mo Wuji slipped through the gap in the door.
"Pff!" Just as Mo Wuji entered the stone room, a trail of blood shot towards him. Mo Wuji's figure flashed slightly as he avoided that blood trail. When he landed on the ground, the stone door closed again, and a corpse fell down.
From the looks of it, there was a victor between the two. Mo Wuji did not care about the corpse on the ground; his attention was on the victorious cultivator.
Then, he was stunned. This guy actually looked ninety percent like him. If it wasn't for the crisscrossing lightning scars all over his face and neck, this guy might even look more like him. If this wasn't the Immortal Dimension, he would even think that this fellow was his long lost brother.
Mo Wuji subconsciously touched his face. His appearance was actually not much different from how he looked on Earth.
Plop! This victorious cultivator also seemed to have suffered some injuries as he fell to the ground. Just like Mo Wuji, he stared at Mo Wuji with a face full of shock. It was as though it was hard to believe that Mo Wuji looked so similar to him.
"Who are you?" The cultivator sitting on the ground asked with a hoarse voice.
Mo Wuji said faintly, "Who I am isn't important. What's important is that if you don't treat your injuries, you won't be able to live."
Mo Wuji knew that this fella's injuries were very serious. Even with such heavy injuries, it would be hard for him to recover. After saying that, he started to size up the stone room.
There was only a shrine and a stone table in the stone room. That was all.
"You don't need to look anymore. There's nothing here …" Seeing Mo Wuji looking around, this cultivator said reluctantly.
Even without this cultivator's words, Mo Wuji knew that there was nothing here. There were no traces of the shrine or the stone table being touched. Even though he didn't understand why this fella and the other fella were fighting here, it wasn't something he wanted to care about.
"Since that's the case, I'll take my leave." Mo Wuji turned to leave after saying that.
It wasn't that he didn't want to save this fella who looked like him, but he really couldn't. This fella's spirit channels were broken and his sea of consciousness was injured. Even if Mo Wuji wanted to save him, he would have to put in all his effort and exhaust his vitality channel and spirit storage channel.
He didn't even know this fella. He, Mo Wuji, wasn't that noble to exhaust his energy to save someone in such a dangerous place. If it was anyone else, they would definitely take advantage of the situation. Mo Wuji was already a rare person who didn't do so.
"Wait!" This dying cultivator saw that Mo Wuji was about to leave and called out to Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji stopped and said, "Your injuries are very serious. The pills I have on me are basically useless, so I won't be able to save you even if I wait."
This cultivator shook his head, "I'm not asking you to save me. I know that I'm about to die. Even if an Immortal Emperor came, he wouldn't be able to save me. Not only are my sea of consciousness and spirit channels collapsing, even my primordial spirit is starting to dissipate. I just want to ask you for a favour … "
Seeing Mo Wuji frown, this cultivator hurried to explain, "I have something here. See if it's useful to you. If it's useful, you can take it …"
With that, this cultivator struggled to take out a jade box.
Mo Wuji opened his hand and the jade box landed in his hands. He opened the jade box and discovered that there was a simple and unadorned map inside. The map was slightly blurry and he could only make out a few rough locations.
This kind of thing was completely useless to him. Just as Mo Wuji was about to throw the map back to this cultivator, he suddenly saw a bead drawn at the bottom corner of the map. Moreover, the words Wood Elemental Bead were written on it.
"This is a map of the locations where the Wood Elemental Bead appeared … If it's useful to you, then help me with something. If it's useless, then, then …" This cultivator seemed to want to say 'forget it', but that matter seemed to be extremely important to him. He actually couldn't bring himself to say those few words.
Mo Wuji placed the map back into the jade box and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll take this map and leave immediately?"
This cultivator's mouth was stained with blood as he forced a smile, "You shouldn't be that kind of person. If you were that kind of person, you would directly kill me and take my storage ring."
"This map is very useful to me. Tell me, what do you need me to help you with?" Mo Wuji kept the jade box and took out an image crystal ball at the same time.
If not for this fella's frighteningly serious injuries and his primordial spirit dissipating, Mo Wuji would have really wanted to save him.
"My name is Yan Ye. My grandfather, Yan Qi, is the Yan Clan's Patriarch. My grandfather has seven sons. My father, Yan Yechang, is the eldest son. My mother, Lian Nü …"
Mo Wuji interrupted Yan Ye's words, "Dao Friend Yan, I suggest that you directly tell me what you need me to help you with. Even if you don't tell me about your family's situation, I will still help you. The prerequisite is that I am able to help you. If I'm unable to help you, there's nothing I can do no matter what you say. "
To Mo Wuji, as long as he had the ability to do something that he promised, he would definitely think of a way to help. But he couldn't do it. Even if this Yan Ye spouted heavenly flowers, he wouldn't be moved.
"I know." Yan Ye's voice became even more powerless, "I would like you to use my identity to go to the Yan Clan for three months. After three months, you can go anywhere you want … "
Mo Wuji jolted. Pretend to be Yan Ye? Immediately, he thought of his own identity. He shouldn't have any identity, so he could do this.
Yan Ye saw that Mo Wuji didn't speak, so he continued, "After leaving this Lifeless Secret Domain, I will marry the Ji Clan's proud daughter, Ji Yue. I would like to ask you to do this for me …"
When Mo Wuji heard Yan Ye's words, he immediately knew that he couldn't do this, "I'm sorry, I really can't help you with this matter. I can pretend to be you. But I won't marry that Ji Yue in your place. If you have any other requests, just tell me. Oh right, is this the Lifeless Secret Domain? How did you get here? How long have you been in here? When can you leave? "
When Yan Ye heard Mo Wuji's words, he didn't find it strange. But when he heard Mo Wuji's words, he was momentarily stunned. Mo Wuji didn't even know about this secret domain, so how did he get in?
"Oh, I came in from somewhere else, and accidentally ended up here." Mo Wuji didn't hide anything from Yan Ye. Since the other party was going to die, he wouldn't be able to reveal his secret.
"That's even better. You can use my identity to get out. Otherwise, without your identity jade token, you will definitely die …" Yan Ye pointed to his storage ring, "My identity jade token is in there."
"Then many thanks, but I still can't agree to your conditions." Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said sincerely.
Yan Ye hurriedly said, "I'm not really marrying Ji Yue. I'm just helping her, and using this method to leave the Ji Clan. As long as she marries into the Yan Clan, she would be able to leave at any time."
Seeing the gentleness and adoration in Yan Ye's eyes, Mo Wuji came to an understanding. This fella had a one-sided love. He liked Ji Yue, but he was willing to be used by Ji Yue. Using the marriage method, he got Ji Yue to leave the Ji Clan, and then let her go.
"The Ji Clan owes my father a favour. I used this condition to propose to the Ji Clan, and the Ji Clan had no choice but to agree …" Yan Ye stopped to catch his breath.
Mo Wuji knew what it meant to owe a favour. It was a favour to save the other party's entire clan. There was no need to talk about a woman, even if he wanted more, the Ji Clan could only repay him.
He sent a few pills into Yan Ye's mouth. After Yan Ye caught his breath, he said, "You used your father's favour to help a woman?"
Yan Ye sighed, "My parents are no longer around. My situation is very complicated, and it's very hard to explain."
Mo Wuji felt as though he had fallen into a huge quagmire. His mind instantly cleared up. He stared at Yan Ye and said, "Yan Ye, tell me the truth. That cultivator you just killed shouldn't have been able to injure you to such an extent that your sea of consciousness split apart, and your primordial spirit dissipated, right? If you lie to me again, I will leave immediately. "
