"You actually used a wooden bucket." Mo Wuji chuckled as he saw that Wei Zidao's attention was diverted.
Wei Zidao's tone was low as he replied, "Only wooden buckets can be used in Sword Qi River. Anything made from magic treasures would attract a large amount of sword qi."
The reason why his tone was low was because his guess was right. Pang Hong and Shang Hegao had indeed found a way to obtain water from Sword Qi River. Even he would have to spend more than 10 times to obtain a bucket of water. Now that Pang Hong and Shang Hegao had joined hands, they managed to do it in one go.
Subconsciously, Wei Zidao hastened his footsteps. Even though the corrosion of the sword qi had increased significantly, he was not bothered by it.
Mo Wuji was a God Physique cultivator and the sword qi here was many times stronger than anywhere else. However, it did not pose a threat to his life. The closer he got to Sword Qi River, the more wounds he had on his body. As for his sea of consciousness, it was completely unaffected by the sword qi corrosion.
As long as his sea of consciousness was fine, his soul would not be affected. As for his primordial spirit, he did not even cultivate it. Physical pain was nothing to a Body Refinement Cultivator.
"Pff!" Just as Mo Wuji and Wei Zidao got close to Pang Hong and Shang Hegao, both of them spat out a mouthful of blood. After the mouthful of blood, the two of them left Sword Qi River in a flash.
Not only did they spit out a mouthful of blood, their faces were full of sword qi lacerations. Some of the wounds were so deep that their bones could be seen. Even though Mo Wuji could not see how badly their primordial spirit and soul were injured, he could roughly guess.
Wei Zidao did not care about Pang Hong and Shang Hegao's injuries at all. Every time they tried to obtain water from Sword Qi River, they would be severely injured.
To be able to obtain so much water from Sword Qi River in one go, anything was worth it.
"Sect Head Mo is indeed not simple to be able to stroll in a place like this." Pang Hong was sure that Wei Zidao would not do anything to him at this point in time, so he did not care about Shang Hegao. Instead, he looked at Mo Wuji and said coldly.
Mo Wuji was also covered in blood. Compared to the three of them, it was not wrong to say that Mo Wuji was taking a leisurely stroll.
This was because they were already at the edge of Sword Qi River, but they still could not feel how heavy Mo Wuji's burden was. At this moment, even Pang Hong was starting to suspect whether he had seen wrongly. Was Mo Wuji also an Immortal Emperor?
The Sword Qi River's water was not something that just anyone could get their hands on. Even though the Sword Qi here was a backlash based on one's cultivation base, the higher one's cultivation base, the greater the backlash from the Sword Qi. However, there were still very few people below the Celestial King Tier who could obtain water from the Sword Qi River. Even a powerful Zenith Heaven Immortal could only take half a cup each time.
Wei Zidao had long suspected that Mo Wuji was a physique tempering expert, but because of Mo Wuji's sudden change of topic, he forgot to seek an answer from Mo Wuji. Now that Pang Hong said that Mo Wuji looked like he was taking a stroll in the park, he recalled his previous question.
Mo Wuji smiled faintly, "When I was young, my family was poor, so I suffered a little more. Now that he was here, he was more patient. On the other hand, Immortal Friend Pang and Immortal Friend Shang aren't simple. They were actually able to produce so much Sword Qi River water in one go. "
The bucket of water in front of Pang Hong and Shang Hegao was at least 70% full.
"Keke, this is our problem, there's no need for Sect Head Mo to worry." Pang Hong said faintly. He did not believe Mo Wuji's nonsense.
So what if Mo Wuji was not afraid of the Sword Qi here? Would Mo Wuji dare to make a move here? He was sure that Mo Wuji would not dare to make a move.
Initially, Mo Wuji thought that Wei Zidao would say a few words, but he realised that Wei Zidao did not say a single word. Mo Wuji did not look at Wei Zidao's expression, as he too felt that something was amiss. Wei Zidao did not speak, evidently wanting to join Pang Hong and Shang Hegao.
If that was the case, it would be even more dangerous for him to be alone in the Vine Mountain of Safety, but he could not give the Zhi Nature Pill to Wei Zidao.
Just as he was getting anxious, Wei Zidao suddenly chuckled and said, "Let me try and see if I can get a bucket of Sword Qi River water."
As he spoke, Wei Zidao walked towards the Sword Qi River.
The Sword Qi River was shrouded by a layer of hazy white mist, and looked no different from an ordinary river. An ordinary river would be shrouded by a thin layer of white mist in the wee hours of the morning.
Mo Wuji did not move, as he wanted to see how Wei Zidao was going to scoop up the Sword Qi River water.
Pang Hong and Shang Hegao were not in a hurry to leave either, as they were also watching Shang Hegao. Being able to scoop up so much Sword Qi River water in one go was one of Pang Hong's secrets. Naturally, he did not want Wei Zidao to know of this secret. As long as they did not enter the river, they would still be able to withstand the intense sword qi.
The closer Wei Zidao got to the river, the slower his footsteps became. Streaks of Sword Qi continuously left blood stains on his body, and with every step he took, he would leave a bloody mark. Mo Wuji knew that this was only on the surface, as the damage done to Wei Zidao's soul and primordial spirit was far more terrifying than the damage done to his fleshly body.
The closer Wei Zidao got to the Sword Qi River, the slower his footsteps became.
Mo Wuji did not know what was going on, but Shang Hegao and Pang Hong's hearts sank. Wei Zidao's speed was much faster than when they first arrived, and it was evident that Wei Zidao was much stronger than the both of them. If they dared to use Wei Zidao's speed, their fleshly body might even collapse.
Even though the both of them were still watching Wei Zidao, they were also retreating slowly. The further away they were from the Sword Qi River, the weaker the sword qi's corrosion.
Mo Wuji did not even move, as he revolved his physique tempering technique while staring at Wei Zidao. His spirit storage channel's spiritual will was constantly revolving around Wei Zidao's body, and he could sense some of the sword qi that entered Wei Zidao's body. It was indeed very strong.
After half an incense's time, Wei Zidao finally reached the edge of the Sword Qi River. He bent down slowly, and took out a small wooden pail.
The wooden pail was finally sent into the Sword Qi River by Wei Zidao. Mo Wuji could clearly see that the instant the pail entered the river, Wei Zidao spat out a mouthful of blood. His body was even covered in a mist of blood from the sword qi. Wei Zidao's wooden pail seemed to have touched the river water before it was picked up by Wei Zidao.
Mo Wuji could clearly see that the wooden pail was only a quarter of the Sword Qi River's water. This wooden pail was much smaller than Pang Hong and Shang Hegao's pails, and on top of that, it was only a quarter of the Sword Qi River's water. Mo Wuji knew that Wei Zidao would definitely look for Pang Hong and Shang Hegao to cooperate with him.
Indeed, after Wei Zidao grabbed the wooden pail, he did not dare to enter it a second time, but retreated quickly. After he retreated from the river, he said to Mo Wuji, his body covered in blood, "Sect Head Mo, my injuries are too severe, I will return to recuperate first."
Without waiting for Mo Wuji's reply, Wei Zidao turned and left. His injuries were even more severe than Pang Hong and Shang Hegao's.
Mo Wuji's face darkened, and he did not say a word. He was invited by Wei Zidao. Initially, he was supposed to cooperate with Wei Zidao, but now that Wei Zidao went to fetch the water alone, it was clear that something was amiss. Mo Wuji understood Wei Zidao's intentions. Firstly, he wanted to tell Pang Hong and Shang Hegao that their relationship was not that good. Secondly, he wanted to test if there was anything special about the place where Pang Hong and Shang Hegao fetched the water.
In the end, he found out that there was nothing special about the place where Pang Hong and Shang Hegao fetched the water. It was still filled with terrifying sword qi.
Because of this, Wei Zidao was sure that Pang Hong and Shang Hegao had a way to fetch water from the Sword Qi River. At this moment, he did not want to form an alliance with Mo Wuji, but with Pang Hong and Shang Hegao.
If he formed an alliance with Mo Wuji, he would not get the Zhi Nature Pill. If he formed an alliance with Pang Hong and Shang Hegao, he would get a huge amount of water from the Sword Qi River. As long as he was not an idiot, how could he, Wei Zidao, not know what to do?
No one who could survive in the Sword Prison was an idiot. Wei Zidao came together with Mo Wuji, and he left swiftly after fetching the water himself. How could Pang Hong and Shang Hegao not know that Wei Zidao's attitude had changed? As long as they agreed to form an alliance with Wei Zidao, it would not be a problem to chase Mo Wuji away.
Thus, after seeing Wei Zidao leave swiftly, Pang Hong and Shang Hegao did not linger, and left swiftly as well.
Wei Zidao, Pang Hong and Shang Hegao understood this logic, and so did Mo Wuji. He knew that unless he took out the Zhi Nature Pill, Wei Zidao would not choose to form an alliance with him.
Taking out the Zhi Nature Pill would be akin to quenching one's thirst with poison, and Mo Wuji would definitely not do such a thing.
After the three left, Mo Wuji immediately took out a jade bucket and walked towards the Sword Qi River. He wanted to try and see if the water from the Sword Qi River was really that hard to obtain.
The closer he got to the Sword Qi River, the denser the sword qi became. Towards the end, the skin on Mo Wuji's face and neck were all torn by the sword qi, and the deep cuts could even see the bone.
Even though Mo Wuji had a God Physique and a physique tempering technique, the sword qi here was still something that Mo Wuji could not defend against.
In reality, while Pang Hong, Wei Zidao and Shang Hegao did not temper their physiques, they had been tempering their bodies in the Sword Prison all these years, and their fleshly bodies were already much stronger than an average Immortal Emperor's. Thus, Mo Wuji's God Physique had an advantage here, but it was not very obvious.
The only thing that stood out about him was that he was not bound by the sword talisman, and he did not have a primordial spirit. These two points allowed him to have more freedom in the Sword Prison. Moreover, there was a violet lake in his sea of consciousness that could contain the sword qi, which gave him the confidence to survive here.
After half an incense's time, Mo Wuji walked to the Sword Qi River, and he tried to use his spiritual will to move the jade bucket in his hand. Whether it was the spiritual will in his sea of consciousness or the spiritual will in his spirit storage channel, as long as he stood by the Sword Qi River, he would not be able to move the jade bucket in his hand.
The only thing Mo Wuji could do was to do what Wei Zidao did previously, to slowly bend his waist, and place the jade bucket into the Sword Qi River.
The moment the jade bucket entered the Sword Qi River, Mo Wuji could feel boundless sword qi rolling up from the Sword Qi River, and directly entering his fleshly body.
Even though Mo Wuji was constantly circulating his physique tempering technique, at this moment, his fleshly body was still torn apart by the boundless sword qi.
