The moment he entered the Lake of Poison, Mo Wuji could feel waves of coldness coming from his skin. Even though Mo Wuji had a God Physique, he could still feel his life rapidly disappearing.
What a powerful poisonous water, no wonder even Immortal Emperors couldn't enter. These waves of coldness were all fake, in reality, this coldness was actually poison, capable of corroding one's life force and primordial spirit.
Mo Wuji's detoxification meridian immediately started its spiritual circulation, and the poison that seeped into his body was converted into immortal spiritual energy after one circulation.
However, just as Mo Wuji finished absorbing the immortal spiritual energy, his body was once again invaded by the poison. Mo Wuji understood that even with his detoxification meridian, he couldn't stay in the Lake of Poison for long, unless he cultivated continuously.
Cultivating continuously, was not what Mo Wuji wanted. Not only was this not a place for cultivation, he was also worried that his cultivation would completely dissolve the poison, and once there was no more poison, countless experts would flock here.
Mo Wuji did not immediately head towards the location of the jade letter, but directly opened his spiritual eye. He didn't trust a woman like Leng Yulin.
What reassured Mo Wuji was that even though the Lake of Poison could block spiritual will, it could not block his spiritual eye. Everything within a thousand metres of the Lake of Poison was under his spiritual eye.
This Lake of Poison was even deeper than the Extreme Glade Sea, and Mo Wuji dived for close to an incense's time before he could see the situation at the bottom of the lake.
It was pitch black at the bottom of the lake, and other than all sorts of black rocks, there were also messy skeletons. These skeletons had all been corroded by the poisonous air of the Lake of Poison, and were full of holes, looking extremely terrifying.
Mo Wuji started to head towards the location of the jade letter, and in less than half an incense's time, he saw a huge black door. There was actually a building at the bottom of the lake, and this door was clearly the only way to enter the building.
Mo Wuji tried punching the door, but it didn't budge at all. He knew that with his current strength, it would be impossible to open this door without using certain methods.
The grade of this defensive array wasn't considered high, but Mo Wuji had no way of breaking the array to enter, so his only option was to attack it. Mo Wuji threw out array flags after array flags, and at the same time, piles of immortal crystals were thrown into the base of the array flags. After a full four hours, Mo Wuji installed a supplementary offensive array.
After doing all these, Mo Wuji still didn't attack immediately. Instead, he installed an energy shielding array outside the door. Only then did he grab a huge hammer and smash it against the black door.
…
At that moment, the spectating cultivators around the Lake of Poison were gradually retreating. Entering the Lake of Poison for more than two hours without any news was basically the same as crippling. If there was no news for four hours, then there was a 90% chance that he had perished in the Lake of Poison. Mo Wuji had already been in the Lake of Poison for close to six hours. It would be strange if he could still survive.
Leng Yulin, who was standing at the side, also sighed helplessly and muttered to herself, "Useless thing."
However, the things she took out were expensive, so she couldn't bear to leave. A Tier 4 Detoxification Immortal Pill, a jade bottle with a transfer array rune on it, and a jade letter that could be used for transfer. That jade letter even had a space within it. These items were all very valuable. She felt it was a pity that she had casually thrown them into the Lake of Poison without retrieving a single one of them.
If she knew that Mo Wuji was such a useless spearhead, she wouldn't have paid such a huge price. Fortunately, that fella didn't agree to sleep with her, otherwise she would have lost even more.
…
"Boom!" Mo Wuji's huge hammer smashed against the black door. At the same time, the supporting array swept up a strong force and charged towards the door.
In an instant, the force of the huge hammer increased by more than double, and the black door started to shake. Mo Wuji continuously gathered his immortal elemental energy and used his sledgehammer to strike this black door. Hammer after hammer.
After a few hours, the black door finally let out a "ka" sound. Mo Wuji was overjoyed, and swung the huge hammer even harder.
"Kacha!" The door finally split open from the middle, revealing a small gap. Dense water type energy seeped out. Mo Wuji waved his hand and tens of array flags fell down, concealing the energy that seeped out. His entire body flashed through the door.
At the same time, a grey robed man stood by the Lake of Poison's shore, staring unblinkingly at the heart of the Lake of Poison. He was sure that he didn't see wrongly. There seemed to be a ripple in the heart of the lake, and the ripples were still spreading.
Because the Lake of Poison was too poisonous, there were no fish or animals in it. Indeed, when the wind blew, the lake water would ripple. However, the ripples caused by the wind were completely different from the ripples in the shape of a gong.
This ripple was spreading from the heart of the lake, and it was obvious that someone was attacking something at the bottom of the lake. Could it be that the scar-faced man who entered the Lake of Poison a few hours ago didn't die? Instead, he found the secret at the bottom of the lake, and was now attacking?
At the thought of this, the grey robed man's face flushed with excitement. If that was the case, then he would be rich. This situation was very rare, but it didn't mean it couldn't happen. What if the scar-faced man had some method to block the poison?
The grey robed man took in a deep breath, and purposely retreated to a remote place. He sat on a rock, and stared intently at the heart of the lake. To his disappointment, the fluctuation seemed to have disappeared after that.
Even so, the grey robed man didn't intend to leave. If his judgement was right, he was sure that the scar-faced man would sneak out after a while.
He had seen the scar-faced man's cultivation level, and he was merely a Grand Zhi Immortal. He was now in the intermediate Grand Luo Immortal Stage, and killing a Grand Zhi Immortal was as easy as pinching an ant.
…
As Mo Wuji walked into the house, he kept his spiritual eye. The house was obviously blocked by an array, and the water from the Lake of Poison could not enter. Without the water from the Lake of Poison, he could use his spiritual will to see everything in the house, and he didn't need to use his spiritual eye. The house wasn't big, at most 10 square meters. There was a table in the middle of the house, and a skeleton sat in the corner. The skeleton was well preserved, and there was a very eye-catching ring on the skeleton's finger.
Mo Wuji's spiritual will landed on the ring, and he immediately felt that something was amiss. He had studied all kinds of seals, and when his spiritual will landed on the skeleton's ring, he felt that the seals on the ring had been tampered with recently.
This skeleton was still alive, that was Mo Wuji's only thought. Cold sweat appeared on his back, but his eyes were filled with surprise, and he was about to pounce towards the ring. But at this moment, he seemed to see the item on the table, and he stopped in his tracks, and walked towards the table.
There were five primal water crystals on the table, and Mo Wuji grabbed the five primal water crystals. He was extremely disappointed.
He didn't want the primal water crystals, but the Water Elemental Bead. He didn't care about a hundred primal water crystals.
"What a pity, these primal water crystals are useless to me. I heard that primal water crystals accompany the Water Elemental Bead, but it seems like I was thinking too much. Ai … "Mo Wuji shook his head, and grabbed another primal fire crystal, and muttered to himself," Other than the primal water crystals, there's only the primal fire crystal. Where exactly can I find the Water Elemental Bead? "
As he spoke, Mo Wuji's spirit storage channel's spiritual will had already stealthily seeped into his feet. At this moment, his back was facing the skeleton, and as long as there was a slight movement, he would be able to detect it immediately.
After muttering to himself for half a day, Mo Wuji kept the primal water crystals and the primal fire crystals into his storage ring. Then, he lifted his hand, flipped the table, and threw it to the side.
At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten about the ring on the skeleton's hand in his search for the Water Elemental Bead. But the moment Mo Wuji flipped the table, he was instantly stunned.
His original plan was to flip the table, and retreat immediately. He didn't expect that the table was actually a concealment array base. After flipping the table, the concealment item appeared, and he saw a clear spring.
An extremely dense water type energy seeped out, and a transparent bead the size of two fists floated above this clear spring.
Water Elemental Bead?
Mo Wuji grabbed the Water Elemental Bead excitedly, and at this moment, he completely understood. This clear spring didn't appear for no reason, but because the Water Elemental Bead landed here, and as time passed, it condensed into this clear spring. As for the primal water crystals on the table, they were intentionally placed there.
The first thing that came to Mo Wuji's mind was that skeleton, and there was a 90% chance that the primal water crystals were placed on the table by that skeleton. As for why the Water Elemental Bead was under the table, and why the table became a concealment array base, Mo Wuji couldn't figure it out. He didn't need to figure it out, as long as he had the Water Elemental Bead.
The Water Elemental Bead was kept into a jade box by Mo Wuji in the shortest time possible, and sent into his storage ring. After doing all this, Mo Wuji couldn't help but chuckle happily.
If someone was here, they would definitely think that Mo Wuji was going to take the storage ring at the next instant. However, Mo Wuji didn't even turn his head, and with a slight sway of his body, he had already teleported out of the house.
The instant Mo Wuji left, a terrifying aura rose in the house. That sort of berserk rage, could be felt even though Mo Wuji was once again enveloped by the black water.
Mo Wuji clenched his fists in lingering fear; everything that he did in the house was an act. He was worried that the primordial spirit within the skeleton would act against him, even though he had a huge sea of consciousness, and the Scholar's Heart that could enter the sea of consciousness. But his cultivation level was simply too low; he was only in the early Grand Luo Immortal Stage. If he were to meet an ancient expert, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
Fortunately, he didn't touch the storage ring, and fortunately, his guess was correct. That primordial spirit shouldn't be able to leave the house, and the moment he touched the storage ring, he might not be able to leave the house.
(Considering the exhaustion of the author's long years of intense writing, Yuewen organised for the author to go on a holiday in Singapore. I didn't participate in the previous few times, but I did this time. It's a shame that I don't have a stockpile, so I might not be able to update regularly from this week onwards. If there are any omissions, Old Five will fill them in when he returns.)
