"How are you fine?" This man suddenly asked. It was just that his words were slightly leaky and his speech wasn't very clear.
Mo Wuji took a few steps back as he stared warily at this skeletal man. "Who are you? Where are most of the people imprisoned here? "
The reason why Mo Wuji was wary was because this man's cultivation was very high. Mo Wuji guessed that this man was an Immortal Reverent.
"Keke …" This man released an ear-piercing laughter. Following which, he extended his scarred hand towards Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji did not hesitate to draw out his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. A Half Moon Weighted Halberd condensed a Half Moon Halberd Light which landed on that withered hand.
"Boom!" Immortal elemental energy exploded and Mo Wuji was directly sent flying. At the same time Mo Wuji attacked, a stream of sword qi from Sword Prison charged into Mo Wuji's bones. Fortunately, Mo Wuji's fleshly body was unbelievably strong. This stream of sword qi only caused him some physical pain.
That scarred man stared blankly at Mo Wuji. Moments later, a "Kacha!" sound could be heard from his hand as one of his fingers broke.
It wasn't because he wasn't as strong as Mo Wuji. It was because he had been corroded by the sword qi in Sword Prison for countless years. Even now, he was constantly being corroded by the sword qi. This wasn't just his fleshly body, it was his primordial spirit and soul. Every time he circulated his immortal elemental energy to attack, the sword qi would multiply.
However, Mo Wuji was different. Not only did he not have any sword talismans on him, the sword qi here didn't even affect him. It could be said that he was equivalent to an Immortal Reverent here. In other words, compared to an Immortal Reverent, he had much more freedom and power. Even when he attacked and the sword qi multiplied, it didn't affect a physique tempered immortal like him.
Tens of meters away, Mo Wuji landed on the ground. His heart had calmed down. This Immortal Reverent's power wasn't anything special; it didn't pose much of a threat to him.
"Senior, please bring me along. I am willing to follow senior …" This skeletal man suddenly knelt on the ground and said a series of words that left Mo Wuji dumbfounded.
In his eyes, Mo Wuji was able to gain the upper hand in a battle with him. As for how much of his strength he had left, it was not within his consideration.
A mighty Immortal Reverent was actually kneeling to an unremarkable Grand Luo Immortal like him. This was simply unbelievable. Even if he was a Quasi-emperor, or even an Immortal Emperor, let alone a Great Luo Immortal like him. It was also unable to make an Immortal Reverent kneel down willingly.
Any Celestial King or Celestial Venerable had their own dignity. Sometimes, they would rather die than kneel down.
Mo Wuji held onto his Half Moon Weighted Halberd as he took a few steps forward. He arrived in front of this Immortal Reverent and sized him up for a while before asking a series of questions. "Stand up first. What's your name? How did you get in here? How long have you been here? Why do you need me to bring you along? "
This Immortal Reverent stood up and said respectfully, "My name is Fei Ling and I have been trapped in the Sword Prison for 4000 years. Previously, I had been living in the Vine Mountain of Safety. However, because I offended Pang Hong, he forced me to collect water from the Sword Qi River four times in a row. I could only run away … "
"Wait …" Mo Wuji stopped Fei Ling, "What is the Vine Mountain of Safety? What was Sword Qi River? Why do you need to go down to collect water? "
Fei Ling explained, "Senior doesn't have a sword talisman with you and you are able to resist the sword qi here so you don't feel uncomfortable …"
When he said the word uncomfortable, Fei Ling's eyes twitched unconsciously. Evidently, his primordial spirit was still being torn apart by the sword qi. "Being torn apart by the sword qi here, one can only constantly look for a place with weaker sword qi. The Vine Mountain of Safety is such a place. This place is filled with thick tree roots and vines protruding from the outside. At the same time, the sword qi here is very weak and there are at least four hours a day where there are no sword qi attacks. As long as one enters the Sword Prison, he or she would be able to find the Vine Mountain of Safety sooner or later. "
"Does the Great Sword Path know that there is a Vine Mountain of Safety in the Sword Prison?" Mo Wuji asked.
Fei Ling shook his head, "Of course not. Entering the Sword Prison is equivalent to death and there would be no contact with the outside world. The Vine Mountain of Safety had not been discovered for a long time so the Great Sword Path wouldn't know that there is a Vine Mountain of Safety in the Sword Prison. Even the Great Sword Path might not know about the Vine Mountain of Safety and the Sword Qi River."
"Continue." Mo Wuji nodded his head. Indeed, it was similar to what he guessed. The Great Sword Path only threw people into the Sword Prison and they only knew that there were sword qi attacks everywhere in the Sword Prison. As for the specific situation after entering the Sword Prison, the Great Sword Path didn't know either.
Sensing that Mo Wuji might bring him along, Fei Ling was in high spirits, "The Sword Qi River is a river near the Vine Mountain of Safety and the water in this river is very precious. The water from the river can counteract the sword qi attacks on the body and primordial spirit. Not only that, drinking more of the water from the river can help the primordial spirit to recover. Unfortunately, the amount of water from the river is very little. Therefore, every drop is very precious. "
"Why? Is it because there is very little water in the river? "Mo Wuji was slightly puzzled.
Fei Ling shook his head, "No, it's because the water is very hard to extract. That river is filled with water but we can't get close to it. The closer we get to the Sword Qi River, the stronger the sword qi attacks. With every step we take, the damage would increase exponentially. The reason why I was torn to such a ghastly state by the sword qi was because I went to the Sword Qi River to collect water. Not only was the sword qi attacks more terrifying the closer we get to the Sword Qi River, the stronger the sword qi attacks were. The more water I collect, the more terrifying the damage. With my cultivation in the intermediate Immortal Reverent Stage, I could only extract about 250g of water each time.
I don't know how I offended that Pang Hong. Most people who go to the Sword Qi River to collect water would only get their turn once every few years. I actually managed to get my turn four times in a year. I didn't go for the fourth time because I knew that I would definitely die if I went. Therefore, I could only escape. Escaping in the Sword Prison, other than flying continuously, stopping like this would cause me to suffer the pain of the sword qi attacks … "
As he said this, Fei Ling's eyes revealed an expression of extreme pain.
Even though Mo Wuji could defend against the sword qi attacks, he couldn't help Fei Ling. Moreover, even if he could help Fei Ling, he wouldn't do it. Unless he wanted to die, he wouldn't help an Immortal Reverent to resist against the sword qi attacks.
Now that Fei Ling had the sword qi attacks, he wasn't a threat to him. If he helped Fei Ling to resist against the sword qi attacks, Fei Ling could kill him anytime.
The possibility of this happening was very low but Mo Wuji wouldn't take the risk.
"You said that the Vine Mountain of Safety is near the Sword Qi River. Logically speaking, the sword qi of the Vine Mountain of Safety should be stronger. Why did you say that the sword qi of the Vine Mountain of Safety is the weakest and there are four hours a day when there is no sword qi? "Mo Wuji asked.
Fei Ling shook his head, "Senior might not know this but the sword qi of the entire Sword Prison could originate from the Sword Qi River. Logically speaking, the sword qi of the Vine Mountain of Safety that is near the Sword Qi River is indeed very strong. In the Sword Prison, you can't think logically. From what I could see, Sword Qi River was the light while the Vine Mountain of Safety was the darkness under the light. In other words, it was the darkness under the light. The sword qi of the Sword Qi River can tear apart any space it can reach. Only places that are near the Sword Qi River and not too close to it are safe. "
Mo Wuji nodded as this explanation was understandable. Now that he had a certain understanding of the Vine Mountain of Safety in the Sword Prison, according to what Fei Ling said, as long as a cultivator was placed with a sword talisman, he would subconsciously look for the place with the weakest sword qi. Eventually, everyone would find the Vine Mountain of Safety.
Han Qingru had been locked up in the Sword Prison for more than a year and it was very likely that she had found the Vine Mountain of Safety.
"Could it be that the higher the cultivation level, the greater the tearing effect of the sword qi?" Mo Wuji thought about the different cultivation levels of the immortals here. It was very likely that the higher the cultivation level, the greater the tearing effect of the sword qi.
"It's like this. The sword qi here is very spiritual. Not only would it tear apart the cultivator's physical body and divine soul according to the fluctuation of cultivation level, it would also devour life force. As long as you have cultivation level and life force, you would become the nourishment of the sword qi. One day, the sword qi here would devour you completely, "Fei Ling nodded.
Mo Wuji's heart skipped a beat as he thought of a crucial question. Could it be because he didn't have spiritual roots that the sword qi he felt wasn't strong? Was he judged to be the weakest mortal by the sword qi here? If that was the case, then the sword qi here was too terrifying.
How could a mortal like him have such a strong tearing effect of the sword qi? How much would the sword qi affect immortals?
Mo Wuji wanted to meet Han Qingru as soon as possible. Han Qingru had spiritual roots and was a true Golden Immortal cultivator.
"How long did you take to find the Vine Mountain of Safety after you entered the Sword Prison?" Mo Wuji sounded anxious.
"I used more than a month to find the Vine Mountain of Safety. If we go there now, it would only take half a day, "Fei Ling said in a flattering tone.
In his opinion, the sword qi here wouldn't affect Mo Wuji and Mo Wuji was much stronger than him. Mo Wuji would definitely have a place in the Vine Mountain of Safety. As long as he followed behind Mo Wuji, he would be safe.
"Tell me, who is that Pang Hong who forced you to leave? Is he the one who controls the Vine Mountain of Safety? "If Mo Wuji wanted to go to the Vine Mountain of Safety, he would have to interact with the experts there.
Before going there, he had to find out more.
Fei Ling shook his head, "He doesn't have that capability. There are three main powers in the Vine Mountain of Safety. The first is indeed the Devil Hand controlled by Pang Hong. He occupies a quarter of the Vine Mountain of Safety. The second is Wei Zidao. The alliance he formed is called the Immortal Hunters. They also control a quarter of the Vine Mountain of Safety. There is also a person called Shang Hegao. The alliance he formed is called the Righteousness Mountain. They also control a quarter of the Vine Mountain of Safety.
The remaining quarter of the Vine Mountain of Safety is better than the rest of the Sword Prison. However, it could only be considered as the worst in a place like the Vine Mountain of Safety. Basically, the people in this place don't belong to any of the three big powers. In other words, they are people that the three big powers don't want. "
