"It's really not easy to subdue this Primordial Devil Aura …" Nie Wushang sighed and opened her eyes.
Mo Tiange had been gone for some time, but she was still in Closed Door Meditation every day, working hard to subdue this Primordial Devil Aura.
However, from the time she regained consciousness five years ago until now, the amount of Primordial Devil Aura she subdued was pitifully small. At this rate, she estimated her Closed Door Meditation would last for more than a hundred years.
It wasn't that she couldn't bear loneliness. Living with someone like Master Song Feng for more than a hundred years, what else couldn't she endure?
However, as long as she didn't solve this problem, she couldn't feel at ease.
Is there any way to shorten this time?
Nie Wushang thought silently.
Suddenly, she sensed something, stood up, walked out of the cultivation room, and opened the stone door of the cave.
"I'm back again!"
Mo Tiange stood outside the cave, seemingly about to send her a message, but when she saw her, she shrugged helplessly.
Nie Wushang was surprised. "Didn't you go to see Ling Yunhe?
Are you done? "
"Do I look like I'm done?" She sighed and walked into the cave. "You don't mind if I continue to live here, do you?" Nie Wushang was the one who paid the rent last time.
"Whatever," Nie Wushang said, closed the stone door, opened the restriction, and asked, "What's going on?"
After tidying up her clothes, pouring tea, and sitting down at the stone table, Mo Tiange said, "I can't go back."
"Huh?" Nie Wushang was stunned and puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"I can't go back to the Celestial Pole," Mo Tiange said.
"…" Nie Wushang was stunned for a long time before she realized what she meant. She said incredulously, "You mean the way you came here is blocked?"
Mo Tiange didn't tell Nie Wushang in detail how she came to the Celestial Pole. Nie Wushang also knew this kind of thing was mostly a secret, so she didn't ask.
Although she didn't know the inside story, she guessed Mo Tiange's road must be very safe since she didn't take it seriously.
But now Mo Tiange actually said she couldn't go back?
Since the passage had disappeared, it couldn't be considered a secret.
Mo Tiange simply told her about the road and the disappearance of the South Pole Island in detail.
After Mo Tiange finished speaking, Nie Wushang was speechless for a long time.
The passage that had existed for five thousand years actually collapsed a few years after she came to Yunzhong. What else could she say?
This was already bad luck to a certain extent.
A good while later, Nie Wushang asked, "Then what do you plan to do now?"
Mo Tiange smiled bitterly. "What else can we do?
We can only find another way. We can't just stay in Yunzhong. "
"En, you're not me …" Nie Wushang pondered for a moment. "If you can't find it, are you planning to cross the South Sea?"
"Yes.
That's why I came back to find you.
Firstly, if you want to cross the South Sea, you'll need to be stronger. Secondly, you've done this before. Let me ask you about your experience. "
Without hesitation, Nie Wushang said, "The reason why I was able to reach Yunzhong safely was because of luck and the treasures I stole from master.
To tell you the truth, luck played a big role in this. If one could safely cross the South China Sea by relying on a magic weapon, how could Yunzhong and the Celestial Pole not have any contact for so many years?
However, if you need it, I can lend you that magic weapon. "
Mo Tiange was stunned. "This …" She came to ask Nie Wushang about her experience crossing the South China Sea, but she never thought she would be willing to lend her magic weapon.
Magic weapons were cultivators' most precious and private things. Even good friends wouldn't lend them to each other. Moreover, since Nie Wushang relied on this magic weapon to safely reach Yunzhong, it showed that this thing was very powerful and was definitely an extremely precious top-grade magic weapon.
The most important thing was that after she returned to the Celestial Pole, she didn't know whether she would come back to Yunzhong again. If she didn't come back, she wouldn't be able to return it.
Seeing her expression, Nie Wushang already understood what she was thinking. She said faintly, "You don't need to think too much. This thing may be very powerful, but it's useless to me now."
After a pause, she said, "Let's talk about it again when you're really going to cross the South China Sea. What about the Cloud Soaring Crane?
You didn't finish it, but did he deny it? "
"I didn't see him."
Mo Tiange looked at Nie Wushang and smiled bitterly again. "You probably don't know it's already chaotic outside, right?"
"What?" Nie Wushang was surprised. "What's going on?"
Mo Tiange sighed. "It's complicated to explain …"
After spending some time, she explained to Nie Wushang everything she saw and heard after she went out.
Although most of it was just rumors and allusions from Yunzhong, Nie Wushang had never heard of these things, so she listened with great interest.
"There's actually such a legend in Yunzhong …" Nie Wushang was very surprised.
Although the cultivation world in Yunzhong was much larger than in the Celestial Pole, their realms weren't much higher than the cultivators in the Celestial Pole. However, if the legend of the Five Saints was true, Yunzhong's history was much more glorious than the Celestial Pole's.
In the history of the Celestial Pole, there were only rumors of two people successfully advancing to the Deification realm, and there wasn't any solid evidence.
But the Five Saints were different. They had five sacred objects handed down from generation to generation, and most of them had disciples to pass on, so their credibility was much higher.
"Heavenly Devil Tower … I really don't know what kind of magic weapon it is to be called a sacred object."
Even if these five sacred objects were only keys to open that mysterious space, they definitely weren't ordinary objects. Besides, according to the rumors, this Heavenly Devil Tower was the Devil Venerable's most powerful magic weapon.
"What? Are you interested?"
Mo Tiange glanced at her. "You're already a devil cultivator. If you can get this Heavenly Devil Tower, your strength will presumably increase greatly. That's good!"
"It's useless even if it's good."
Nie Wushang wasn't stupid. She rolled her eyes at Mo Tiange and said, "With my current state, it's not suitable for me to travel outside. Even if I can, can I win against those cultivators?
It's better to stay out of it and watch coldly.
No matter how good a treasure is, it's not as important as my life. "
Mo Tiange smiled but didn't say anything.
On this point, she and Nie Wushang were quite in agreement.
They weren't cultivators who were nearing the end of their lifespans and had no hope of making a realm-breakthrough, so why should they risk their lives to fight for this tiny possibility?
It was better to cultivate step by step, which would make realm-breakthroughs faster.
They hadn't been separated for too long, but neither of them felt like they'd reunited after a long time. After talking about these things, they returned to their previous state and went back to their respective cultivation rooms to do their own things.
Mo Tiange laid a restriction then entered the Virtual Sky World. She released the three spiritual beasts and let them play while she sat in the cultivation room, pondering in silence.
Among her three spiritual beasts, although Xiaofan could talk, it was too naive. Feifei was smart enough, but its temperament was too similar to that of humans — it had no interest in things that had nothing to do with it.
As such, she could only ponder about returning to the Celestial Pole by herself.
After thinking for a while, she couldn't help but think about the turmoil in Yunzhong.
The five saints were rumored to have five holy objects. Apart from the Heavenly Devil Tower, there was also the Inescapable Net.
She took out her own Inescapable Net, but the more she looked at it, the stranger she felt.
The momentum of this object was indeed not strong, but the spiritual power on it was really powerful. She tried to use her spiritual aura to attack it, but the result was like a clay ox entering the sea — it didn't have the slightest effect.
Could this be the rumored Great Master Hui Yin's Inescapable Net?
Impossible, right?
If that was the case, it would be too inconceivable. This was just a magic weapon she inadvertently collected, so how could it be a Buddhist holy object?
And before that, it was in the hands of two Foundation Building cultivators.
If she could find the Buddhist cultivator she let go, she might be able to figure out what was going on. Unfortunately, she didn't ask about that person's identity and origin.
After looking at it for a while, she still put the Inescapable Net back. After a moment of hesitation, she took out a rusty sword.
This was the Fusheng Sword she exchanged from Devil Monarch Xuanyue.
Although this sword was rusty, it had an extraordinary momentum. The power of wind and thunder could be faintly seen inside, so it was obviously not an ordinary weapon.
However, this sword was seriously corroded by the devil aura. She couldn't see the slightest spiritual aura, and the body of the sword was dim. If she didn't look at it carefully, she would probably think it was a useless sword.
After thinking for a while, Mo Tiange stood up and walked into the tool-refining room.
Seeing the familiar layout of the tool-refining room, Mo Tiange stood still. She couldn't help but recall the scene when she and Qin Xi refined the Heaven and Earth Fan in the tool-refining room.
Her tool-refining skills really weren't very good. Every small part here was made by Qin Xi himself.
At that time, the two of them stayed here for several years. Every day, they discussed how to refine the Heaven and Earth Fan, experimenting again and again …
In fact, when they were together, they rarely stuck to each other sweetly. Most of the time, they talked about their experiences and exchanged their thoughts.
Although they weren't sweet enough, those days were full of happiness when she recalled them.
Cultivation companions, Cultivation companions, companions who accompanied each other to seek immortality and seek the Dao — that was enough.
How could their affectionate relationship compare to the long years of dependence and companionship?
They had been separated for ten years after leaving the Celestial Pole. In fact, Mo Tiange didn't miss him much, but now that she was in the place where they used to be together and touched the tools he used, she felt a surge of longing that drowned her.
I haven't gone back for so many years. Is he doing well?
Has he come out of Closed Door Meditation?
Is he worried about me?
If he knows I can't go back, will he come to find me?
The scenes they used to be together kept emerging in her mind.
The cold and taciturn Senior Martial Brother Qin, the Master Daoist Shoujing who took her to escape from Mount Yunwu, the two months of companionship …
The Senior Martial Brother Qin who risked his life to save her, the Master Daoist Shoujing who coldly turned away when he saw her, and the thirty-five years of estrangement …
At that time, they were so self-righteous. They could calculate shrewdly in other matters, but when it came to matters of the heart, they always made wild guesses about each other's thoughts. They held onto their pride and refused to put down their pride and treat each other honestly.
Fortunately, they finally came together and didn't waste their fate.
Thinking back, their meeting was so coincidental.
If her father hadn't traveled with him, they wouldn't have met. If Second Uncle hadn't taken her away, she would've only regarded him as a senior when she grew up in Xuanqing School. If he hadn't happened to go to Mount Yunwu, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet as peers …
They would've missed each other by just a little bit.
Fortunately, he was the person her father entrusted her to. Fortunately, they didn't know each other when she was young. Fortunately, she had grown up before they met.
The more she thought back, the more she missed him.
Therefore, she had to go back to the Celestial Pole.
