Covering the Sky: Becoming an Emperor Through Sole Cultivation of the Sea of ​​Wheels

Chapter 173 Journey to Central China

After the massacre, the entire Eastern Wilderness was in an uproar. Not only were the disciples of the major holy lands calling for Mo Wuji's execution, but even ordinary cultivators were captivated by the bounties offered by the various holy lands.

Dozens of sacred sites, each averaging one million catties of resources.

All of these combined are enough to cultivate several minor saintly bodies.

Mo Wuji could no longer stay in the Eastern Wilderness, so he decided to follow the example of Emperor Hengyu and travel to the Central Plains!

Mo Wuji changed his appearance and headed west.

However, halfway there, Mo Wuji heard some news.

It is said that after the turmoil subsided, the Yaochi Holy Land secretly invited Ye Fan back and used the Six Immortal Seals to seal the several rare stones they had inherited.

For that female holy spirit, the women of Yaochi have truly gone through dozens of generations of effort.

However, while you may regard her as a family heirloom, it's hard to say what this Holy Spirit's attitude towards Yaochi is.

In the original story, this Holy Spirit would rather die in the womb than be born. What was she afraid of?

Emperor Ye Fan didn't even kill the Immortal Tear Green Gold Emperor who challenged him, and he also voluntarily gave up the Heavenly Heart Mark, refusing to suppress future emperors.

Is this female holy spirit afraid that after being born, she will no longer be able to pretend to be a good baby and will be unable to hide her malice towards humanity?

In addition, Ye Fan's return to Yaochi caused another incident: the Heavenly Emperor's son's phoenix egg was also cut out by Ye Fan!

This led the ancient tribes to come and demand the Heavenly Emperor's son.

These holy lords are truly despicable.

Mo Wuji had also considered eliminating the great threat of the Emperor's son in advance.

I wonder what the Phoenix Egg Fried Rice will taste like?

But just thinking about it, it's clear that if he went to ask for the rare stone containing the Emperor's son, he would definitely be kicked out.

But when it came to external enemies, the ancient myriad races, these people didn't dare utter a single word, didn't raise any conditions, and instead advised the Yaochi Holy Land to send away the Heavenly Emperor's son.

A vital hostage is gone just like that!

What are you talking about for the greater good? Why don't you dare to fight the ancient races?!

The Beidou human race alone possesses a total of twelve imperial weapons: the Ji family and Jiang family, Yao Guang Yao Chi, Wu Shi Ruthless Man Luan Gu, the four great divine dynasties of Zhongzhou, and the Western Desert Demon-Subduing Pestle.

If we search through all the ancient races of the Big Dipper, can we find twelve royal families?

What are you holy lords afraid of?

In ancient times, all races regarded humans as food and drink, and the various holy lands regarded the common people at the bottom as nothing.

Mo Wuji felt that time was of the essence and he needed to become stronger as soon as possible!

On his way to Zhongzhou, Mo Wuji contemplated the natural world while simultaneously studying his own Sea of ​​Wheels secret realm.

His current state of mind is no longer ordinary; it possesses a unique grandeur. The sea of ​​suffering is as vast as a mountain range, the spring of life undergoes multiple qualitative changes, the divine bridge is like a dragon, and there is celestial light on the other shore.

However, the strange change in the Fire Domain where the "Zhe" Secret Merit merged with the Life Spring still greatly shocked Mo Wuji.

This time, Mo Wuji attempted to integrate another of the Nine Secrets in his possession, the "Word of Movement" Secret, into the Sea of ​​Bitterness and the Divine Bridge.

Mo Wuji felt that the two profound meanings of the "Xing Zi Secret"—time and ignoring constraints—had a particularly high degree of compatibility with the Bitter Sea and the Divine Bridge.

The mortal world's suffering sea combined with the laws of time, the divine bridge dragon combined with the ability to ignore confinement—that power... But whether the previous incident with the "Zhe" character secret was just a coincidence, or whether Mo Wuji's mastery of the "Xing" character secret was still lacking, Mo Wuji tried several times on his journey west, and all of them failed.

After a series of misguided attempts, Mo Wuji coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, and even his indestructible body developed countless cracks. If it weren't for the secret technique he possessed, Mo Wuji would have exhausted himself to the point of being severely injured.

To make matters worse, the plan to travel to Zhongzhou also encountered an unexpected problem.

Mo Wuji originally planned to leisurely fly to Zhongzhou. With his cultivation at the first level of the Immortal Platform Realm and the Xingzi Secret Technique, his speed was more than ten times faster than Ye Fan's at this time.

So even if you fly by force, it won't take more than a few months to reach Zhongzhou. You can take this time to reflect and not worry about missing the opportunities in the original story.

But when Mo Wuji arrived in the western region and inquired, he learned that the Divine Ruins, one of the seven forbidden zones of life, was located in this western region, and it happened to be located in the direction from the western part of the Eastern Wilderness to the Central State.

Mo Wuji dared not force his way into this place now.

It's not that taking a detour is impossible, but that would greatly lengthen Mo Wuji's journey.

It's possible that I won't be able to make it to the Immortal Abode Small World instance.

Left with no other choice, Mo Wuji prepared to risk infiltrating a powerful force and, with the help of a domain gate, traverse the void to reach the Central Continent.

The Heavenly Demon Palace is a major sect of the Western Demon Clan, passed down from ancient times. In the ancient era, it almost ruled the world, but declined due to its battle with the Holy Body of the Human Race. However, it still has strength comparable to a Holy Land.

However, the young master of the Heavenly Demon Palace in this generation, Yao Yuekong, made a decision that went against his ancestors' wishes and befriended Ye Fan, the current Holy Body.

This is also why Mo Wuji chose the Heavenly Demon Palace. If he were exposed, he could still salvage the situation with Ye Fan's connection.

The operation to borrow the Heavenly Demon Palace's domain gate went exceptionally smoothly; the Saint-level Myriad Transformation Mask was incredibly powerful.

Mo Wuji handed over a source and smoothly embarked on the journey to the Central Continent. However, it seemed that because the Qishi Academy was about to open its gates and recruit many students, this flight was "a bit crowded".

Upon arrival at the destination, the level of congestion increased dramatically.

It seems that the teleportation nodes from the various holy lands of the Eastern Wilderness to the Central Continent were all set up in one place.

The teleportation platform was packed with people, shoulder to shoulder, just like a train station in my previous life.

But not everyone is as low-key as Mo Wuji.

A graceful purple figure stood tall in mid-air; that was... Zixia.

Mo Wuji ignored the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion. He pushed through the crowded people with an invisible force and left.

Even though he concealed all his unusual phenomena, he still couldn't hide Mo Wuji's extraordinary nature.

As a primordial Dao embryo, the Purple Mansion Saintess was one with the Dao. She immediately noticed the rich Dao aura surrounding Mo Wuji. She watched Mo Wuji's departing figure with surprise in her heart.

"This person gives me... a really strange feeling?"

But before Zixia could investigate further, a man dressed in a robe with four claws resembling a dragon came forward to greet her.

"But is it the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion in person? I have failed to greet her properly."

"9

Zixia, as aloof as a snow lotus on a high mountain, replied indifferently, "What instructions does Your Highness have?"

"I have long admired the reputation of the Innate Dao Embryo. It just so happens that there is a villa nearby, so I have come to invite Fairy Zixia to come to my residence for a chat."

Leaving aside how the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion dealt with the prince, on the other hand, Mo Wuji, who had immediately distanced himself from the teleportation platform, also encountered a problem.

Mo Wuji learned that the ancient city where the teleportation platform was located was under the jurisdiction of the Chiyang Kingdom.

Chiyang Kingdom? Isn't that the country that went to war with Anping Kingdom in the original story to compete for the Dragon Marrow?

This was a minor character who only appeared with his name, so Mo Wuji didn't pay him any attention. After finding out the location of the Qishi Academy, Mo Wuji left directly.

After leaving the city, Mo Wuji was flying peacefully when suddenly someone jumped out and started spewing insults.

"The Vermilion Bird Sect is on duty ahead. Get out of here if you don't want to die!"

.....

At the same time, Mo Wuji could clearly see that a middle-aged cultivator was leading a large group of cultivators over and immediately slapped the person who had spoken earlier.

These people were all wearing similar clothing, in large swaths of vermilion, with patterns resembling the Vermilion Bird.

Having just arrived in Zhongzhou, and being unfamiliar with both people and the place, Mo Wuji didn't want to cause trouble. Besides, he had already learned his lesson from the foul-mouthed person he had met earlier.

But Mo Wuji let this group go, while this group was not prepared to let Mo Wuji go. They were truly courting death.

Mo Wuji was about to leave when the middle-aged cultivator who had slapped him earlier said, "Fool! This is within the territory of the Crimson Sun Kingdom. The Supreme Elder has given orders that no word must leak out before the matter is completed. Is this how you do things?"

"What if this kid leaks our information after he leaves?"

"Is your cultivation just for show? You're just a mere Dao Palace Realm brat; we can take him down directly. Why waste words with him!"

"I'm sorry, senior brother, this is the first time I've done something like this."

Then, in an attempt to atone for his mistake, the cultivator who had been slapped immediately attacked Mo Wuji.

A red flying sword shot out, its blade crystal clear, as if made of glass, and the crimson glow it emitted dyed half the sky red.

This crimson flying sword was as fast as lightning, aiming straight for Mo Wuji's vitals, and it looked quite imposing.

But in Mo Wuji's eyes, it was just like a child playing around.

These Vermilion Bird Sect cultivators are so arrogant, yet their cultivation level is only at the Fourth Extreme Secret Realm.

How long has it been since I've seen such a low-level opponent and such a weak attack?

Even Mo Wuji found it amusing.

This is also why Mo Wuji didn't intend to take it to heart earlier. If a dog insults you, are you going to insult it back?

But things are different now. A dog that dares to bite cannot be kept!

Mo Wuji flicked his wrist, and his seemingly ordinary fingertip struck the tip of the crimson flying sword with perfect accuracy.

The cultivators of the Vermilion Bird Sect narrowed their eyes; those with quick minds were already on high alert. Had they encountered someone who was pretending to be weak while actually being strong?

But the next moment, there was a snap.

The crimson flying sword shattered instantly!

Moreover, it cracked inch by inch, eventually turning directly into fine red powder, which drifted between heaven and earth.

The cultivators of the Vermilion Bird Sect were terrified. This wasn't just encountering someone who was pretending to be weak; they had kicked a hornet's nest!

The request for help was sent out immediately.

The middle-aged cultivator immediately stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Senior, we were blind before. Please, senior, show us the right thing. If you can spare our lives, we will not refuse!"

It was both a plea for mercy and a delaying tactic.

Mo Wuji laughed in exasperation, his divine sense already sensing that cultivators were rapidly approaching from afar.

"Few in this world dare to offend me and survive, let alone do you think I'm a fool?"

'

The middle-aged man's eyes hardened. "Fellow disciples, attack together!"

"Vermilion Bird Burns the Heavens!"

The cultivators of the Vermilion Bird Sect unleashed a secret fire technique passed down through generations, causing several pillars of fire to converge and form a firebird hundreds of feet in size in the sky.

This Vermilion Bird is majestic and has a size comparable to a mountain. Its scorching heat, which even distorts the void, may be enough to threaten some cultivators who have just entered the Dragon Transformation Realm, but it is not enough to deal with Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji scoffed, "You think you're worthy to play with fire in front of me?"

Mo Wuji activated the Sun True Scripture, an ancient scripture of extreme strength and yang, capable of controlling all fires under heaven.

Although Mo Wuji only had one-fifth of his power, using it to deal with these minor characters was a waste of his talents.

Mo Wuji made no move, simply standing with his hands behind his back in the void. But the Vermilion Bird Firebird, which had been pouncing on Mo Wuji, suddenly changed direction and rushed towards the group of Vermilion Bird Sect cultivators.

Furthermore, the flames engulfing his body became even more terrifying under Mo Wuji's urging.

"what!"

The cultivators of the Vermilion Bird Sect, playing with fire, were instantly burned to ashes by the Vermilion Bird Firebird, which turned against them, and couldn't even withstand a single breath.

"My disciple!!!"

A roar, tinged with sorrow and rage, came from afar; it was the group of cultivators that Mo Wuji had sensed earlier.

But why are they all just a bunch of weaklings?

The group of cultivators who came to their aid were of much higher quality than the previous group; they had all transformed into dragons.

But without even a Sendai, aren't they just a bunch of worthless fish and shrimp to Mo Wuji?

At the same time, the group of dragon-transformation cultivators who had arrived also stared at Mo Wuji, utterly shocked.

What shocked them was not that Mo Wuji was so young to be able to instantly kill their disciples, but that there were quite a few young talents who could do the same.

What shocked these old guys was that they had just sensed the fluctuations of the Sun Sutra!

The Vermilion Bird Sect's inherited scriptures evolved from one-fifth of the Sun True Scripture, making it a unique lineage within the Big Dipper.

They share the same origin, which is why they were able to sense that Mo Wuji had just used the Sun Scripture.

Has the scripture of my Vermilion Bird Sect been leaked? Or does this young man possess another one-fifth of the True Scripture of the Sun?

Regardless of the possibility, the initial thought of settling things peacefully, which arose from seeing Mo Wuji's overwhelming power, has completely vanished.

The group of old men immediately reported the news to the Supreme Elder.

Meanwhile, some people stepped forward to negotiate with Mo Wuji, trying to buy time, fearing that the encirclement was not solid enough and that Mo Wuji would miss this opportunity for their Vermilion Bird Sect to advance further.

"Fellow Daoist, you need to give my Vermilion Bird Sect an explanation."

But if the people from the Vermilion Bird Sect want to negotiate with Mo Wuji, will Mo Wuji be willing to negotiate with them?

Although the Supreme Elder of the Vermilion Bird Sect who came to provide support this time was beyond the range of Mo Wuji's divine sense.

But Mo Wuji was still too lazy to reason with these people; they weren't worthy of listening.

What right do ants have to ask their seniors for an explanation? Unless you're a junior, that's about right. But some of these dragon-transformation cultivators have lost all their teeth, and even the youngest one has gray hair.

Which one seems to have a powerful background?

Mo Wuji was just about to deliver the fatal blow when a fairy in purple robes drifted down from the horizon.

"stop!"

The shout to stop wasn't directed at Mo Wuji, but at a group of old dragon-transformation elders.

Outsiders have no idea about Mo Wuji's true situation.

So from the outside, it looked like a young man in the Dao Palace Realm was being surrounded by a group of old dragon-transformation elders, and the situation was not optimistic!

The person who came was none other than the Purple Mansion Saintess whom Mo Wuji had met not long ago.

Zixia came to Zhongzhou to go to the Qishi Academy, so after getting rid of the prince of Chiyang Kingdom, she also chose the same route as Mo Wuji.

Then, naturally, this ethereal fairy, who seemed to belong to another world, witnessed this scene.

Because of that fleeting glimpse before the gate, Zixia, though unable to discern Mo Wuji's true identity, still retained a deep impression of this seemingly ordinary man.

Zixia guessed that Mo Wuji might be a prodigy who had not yet grown up, and it would be a great pity if he died before her eyes.

A group of shameless old men from Zhongzhou ganging up on a junior from Donghuang undoubtedly tilted the scales in Zixia's heart even further.

When you're out and about, you'll always remember the people of Donghuang!

Finally, Zixia was unaware that the matter also involved the Sun Scripture. It was just a group of dragon transformation secret realm beings, and Zixia was confident that she could handle it.

That's why people would draw their swords to help those in need.
