Mo Wuji immediately began soul-searching, while tearing apart the Green-Robed Enforcer’s world, taking all its contents.
Lan Xiaobu walked to Thunder Sage’s side, handing him the half-body to heal. Not only Thunder Sage, but Zhuo Heng had also been cleaved in two. Without Thunder Sage and Mo Wuji’s timely intervention, Zhuo Heng would already be dead, let alone healing.
Yi Qingshan lost a leg, her luck not necessarily better than Zhuo Heng’s. Though Zhuo Heng was cut at the waist, thanks to others’ intervention, Fang Yu couldn’t destroy his body. Yi Qingshan’s severed leg, however, was ground to nothing. Fortunately, she had plenty of top-grade Dao fruits, barely enough to recover. The only one uninjured was, surprisingly, Du Bu.
Even Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu were injured, Qi Muwei had light wounds, while Du Bu was merely drained of vitality.
As the group healed, Tai Chuan had already sorted and sent the items into the Cosmic Dimension Model.
One hundred seventy low-grade Dao veins, eighty-six mid-grade Dao veins, twenty-nine high-grade Dao veins. Beyond that, countless Dao fruits, and some items wrapped in restrictions, which Lan Xiaobu didn’t open for now. He divided a portion of the Dao veins and fruits, distributing them to Qi Muwei, Thunder Sage, Yi Qingshan, Du Bu, and Zhuo Heng.
Though Zhuo Heng’s trio only stalled the Green-Robed Enforcer for a dozen breaths, those breaths allowed Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji to kill Qianhe.
Mo Wuji also sorted some items, giving everyone a share. He and Lan Xiaobu bore the main effort, but like Lan Xiaobu, he believed the others’ help was indispensable.
Having killed two Green-Robed Enforcers, Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji felt no relief, their moods growing heavier.
If two Green-Robed Enforcers were this terrifying, how much worse would a Blue-Robed Enforcer be? The only solace was that Mengmu Dayan had no Blue-Robed or Purple-Robed Enforcers.
“I never thought we’d win, I was ready to die here,” Zhuo Heng, his injuries slightly recovered, said with a sigh.
Thunder Sage’s face was pale. Though his body was preserved, being cut in half was no minor injury, it damaged his Dao foundation, unhealable in the short term.
He pondered one thing: he was a Creation Sage, as were the Green-Robed Enforcers, so why was the gap between them so vast?
Qi Muwei, silent until now, spoke, “Is there something wrong with my Dao? Why, as a Creation Sage, am I fearless in the Land of Eternal Life, yet here I’m no match for the Green-Robed Enforcer? The gap is too wide.”
Mo Wuji shook his head, “No, your Dao and Thunder Sage’s are fine. The Green-Robed Enforcers have mastered some of the Chaos River’s rules, making them far stronger here. In the Land of Eternal Life, they’d still be stronger, but not by this much. I suspect their edge there ties to the medium-grade universe’s Dao rules.
After becoming Creation Sages in the Land of Eternal Life, you’d likely need to reforge your sage rules there. Once done, your combat strength would soar, and you’d surely match them.”
Hearing Mo Wuji, Thunder Sage and Qi Muwei felt some relief. As Creation Sages, being so outclassed in the same realm was hard to swallow.
Zhuo Heng glanced at Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu, opening his mouth but saying nothing. He wondered, since they came from a low-grade universe, how could two Genesis Realm cultivators like them kill two of Mengmu Dayan’s Green-Robed Enforcers, while two Creation Sages couldn’t?
Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji naturally wouldn’t explain. Their own Daos, though limited by a low-grade universe, allowed them to control their Dao rule domains and divine abilities, unlike Thunder Sage, who was too restricted by the Enforcers’ sage domains. More crucially, they had many primal treasures.
“Wuji, I soul-searched Qianhe. From his memories, I learned that the Seven Realms Stone alone won’t get us to the Chaos River’s bottom,” Lan Xiaobu said gravely.
If they couldn’t reach the riverbed, they’d have to leave the Chaos River. Having offended Mengmu Dayan, countless强者 would hunt them once they left.
Mo Wuji nodded, “Indeed, it’s not that the Seven Realms Stone is insufficient, it’s our strength. To control the Seven Realms Stone to the riverbed, you’d need at least Creation Sage cultivation.”
“No wonder those two tracked us for the Seven Realms Stone, they knew we couldn’t reach the bottom,” Lan Xiaobu said, annoyed.
“I heard there are at least thirty to fifty Green-Robed Enforcers in Mengmu Dayan,” Zhuo Heng said, pale. Though he survived, he felt lost about the future. How many targeted by Mengmu Dayan lived?
Mo Wuji chuckled, “The two today were Qianhe and Fang Yu. Qianhe ranked at least top five among Mengmu Dayan’s Green-Robed Enforcers. Fang Yu was the undisputed strongest, on the verge of becoming a Blue-Robed Enforcer, yet we killed them, so there’s nothing to fear.”
If Mengmu Dayan learned Qianhe and Fang Yu were dead, they’d send a Blue-Robed Enforcer next. Mengmu Dayan had only three Blue-Robed Enforcers.
Lan Xiaobu knew Mo Wuji had soul-searched Fang Yu too. He had an idea, but it sounded too shocking.
“Where should we go now?” Qi Muwei asked, wanting to stay with Lan Xiaobu, ideally far from this terrifying place.
Everyone looked to Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu, their decision would guide the group.
Lan Xiaobu transmitted his idea to Mo Wuji, “Wuji, why not go to Mengmu Dayan? We soul-searched Qianhe and Fang Yu. From my search, Mengmu Dayan likely doesn’t have their soul tablets, so they don’t know we killed them. We could disguise ourselves as those two, though fighting would be risky.”
Lan Xiaobu wanted to disguise as Qianhe and Fang Yu with Mo Wuji to destroy Mengmu Dayan. But their cultivation was too low, even if they fooled everyone, fighting would be perilous.
If only Lan Xiaobu knew where to break through to the Derivation Realm, he’d boost his strength first.
Mo Wuji nodded, having thought the same, but his soul-search of Fang Yu revealed another detail.
Mo Wuji spoke directly, “From Fang Yu’s memories, I learned of a place called Thousand Cosmos Void.”
Du Bu interjected, “I know Thousand Cosmos Void. Back at the Qin Heaven Ancient Road’s relay, there was a teleportation array to it. But it’s not direct, it goes through the Chaos River.”
“You said Qin Heaven Ancient Road?” Zhuo Heng looked at Du Bu, surprised.
Du Bu nodded, “Yes, we came from there.”
Zhuo Heng frowned, “That’s odd, Qin Heaven Ancient Road shouldn’t be accessible recently.”
“You know why?” Lan Xiaobu asked immediately.
Zhuo Heng explained, “In Hao Abyss Universe, there’s a clan even Mengmu Dayan dares not touch lightly, the Hao Abyss Ancient Qin Clan. The Yi Ting Dao you killed earlier was tied to the Qin Clan, which is why the Yellow-Robed Enforcer wanted to take you down.
As for Qin Heaven Ancient Road, it was unknown in Hao Abyss Universe until more people came from there. Then it was discovered that the road is the treasure of Qin Clan’s ancestor, Qin Qingtian, who achieved his Dao there.”
Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji exchanged glances, stunned that the famed Qin Heaven Ancient Road was someone’s treasure. Thinking of their time wandering there, they felt a chill.
If Qin Qingtian were still alive, would those entering the road be erased?
Why Qin Heaven Ancient Road became what it is, Zhuo Heng didn’t know. Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu guessed it tied to the Qin Clan. It wasn’t their concern, best not to meddle.
Mo Wuji said, “I suggest we go to Thousand Cosmos Void. Its layered domains mean even a Fourth Step expert could get lost and never escape. It’s safe, Mengmu Dayan won’t pursue us there. Most importantly, it’s a medium-grade universe with matching rules. If we achieve our Dao there, we can stand against Mengmu Dayan.”
After Mo Wuji spoke, Lan Xiaobu said without hesitation, “Then let’s go to Thousand Cosmos Void.”
He transmitted again, “Wuji, don’t you find it odd? Zhuo Heng knows about Qin Heaven Ancient Road, but we got nothing about it from the Green-Robed Enforcers’ memories?”
