After the myth

Chapter 1040 They were born in Rome
Mo Wuji said solemnly, "He must have looked for me. Many years ago, some inexplicable guy intercepted and ambushed me."

Looking back now, the path cultivated by the guy who ambushed me seems to have a mortal element to it.

Ding Huan frowned: "Wuji, if Xin Changkong comes looking for you personally, you'll probably have a hard time getting away unscathed."

Mo Wuji didn't think Ding Huan was exaggerating: "My feeling at the time was that that guy clearly couldn't pose a threat to me in terms of strength."

But I have an extreme sense of danger, and I don't know where that sense of danger comes from.

Strangely, the sense of threat suddenly disappeared, and the guy who intercepted me vanished into the void without a trace.

Looking back now, the person who intercepted me was probably connected to Xin Changkong; perhaps he even sent him. He wanted to stall me, and then Xin Changkong would attack me.

Ding Huan recalled his feud with Xin Changkong: "Wuji, it's probably just what you guessed."

The reason I have a grudge against Nobunaga is because he once extended his hand seal to deal with someone. That Great Dao hand seal passed in front of me, and I tore it apart with a single stroke.

If Mo Wuji were to deal with that handprint alone, it probably wouldn't be too much trouble.

Once Mo Wuji is intercepted by a powerful opponent of similar strength, or even at the brink of life and death, he might be ambushed by a handprint.

Then the outcome would be unpredictable.

This is why boats don't need extra weight, and loads don't need extra weight; sometimes, even a single straw can break the camel's back and destroy the universe.

Mo Wuji immediately understood: "No wonder I felt the threat suddenly disappear, so that's why."

From Pang Buzi to Xin Changkong, these people were all incredibly strong.

Ding Huan and Mo Wuji did not lose their fighting spirit. On the contrary, after realizing the strength of their opponents, they were even more determined to surpass them.

Ding Huan had already taken out the Mortal Path and handed it to Mo Wuji.

The Mortal Path is undoubtedly a top-tier Dao, but Ding Huan believes that Mo Wuji will be his teammate in the future. The Mortal Path is useless to him, but it will definitely be of great use to Mo Wuji.

The stronger Mo Wuji is, the more advantageous it is for him.

"What is this?" Mo Wuji looked at the jade slip in Ding Huan's hand with a puzzled expression. The jade slip was also wrapped in a Great Dao barrier.

"Xin Changkong's mortal path is divided into three classics: the Human Mortal Path, the Earth Mortal Path, and the Heaven Mortal Path. I only managed to get my hands on the Human Mortal Path, but you can learn about Xin Changkong's Great Dao cultivation method."

This great cultivation technique must have surpassed the Heavenly Dao rules of the world of gods, so it would be destroyed by the laws of heaven and earth if it were to emerge.

Mo Wuji became increasingly alarmed as he listened.

He took the jade slip and sent it into his own Great Dao World.

Immediately, he broke through the barrier with his divine sense and penetrated into the jade slip, sensing the mortal cultivation method within. Mo Wuji immediately frowned.

"Ding Huan, this technique is very powerful. It allows me to complement my Dao. Before my Dao grows, my Dao is inferior to his Dao."

Once my path has matured, his path will be inferior to mine.

Mo Wuji's tone also became serious.

That's what he said, but deep down he knew that in front of a powerful cultivator who cultivated the mortal path, his mortal path would be difficult to develop.

The reason why the other party did not continue to attack him is most likely because he came to the world of gods.

Mo Wuji gradually sorted out some things. These powerful figures all seemed to have their own territories and did not interfere with each other.

It's like how Pang Buzi dared not go to the Fog Realm.

Ding Huan immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

This wasn't the first time Ding Huan had encountered the Mortal Path.

He came across several versions of the Mortal Path, including those by Zhong Di, Guan Huan, Bai Yue, and Mo Wuji.

During that time, I also heard about a guy named Meteor who also cultivated the mortal path, but it was a different kind of mortal path.

"My mortal path is to enter the Dao with the body of a mortal, to find the path for mortals to reach the pinnacle of the vastness. But this guy's mortal path is to enter the mortal world with the Great Dao, to stand at the peak of the Great Dao, and to build a Great Dao universe for mortals."

To give a simple example, the mortal path is like a monarch, who establishes rules and order for the survival of the mortals below.

The mortal path is like that of commoners: when dissatisfied with the rules and order established by a monarch, they rise up in rebellion. By overthrowing the monarch, they can reconstruct entirely new rules for survival.

Ding Huan immediately said, "In that case, if you could also obtain the Great Dao from Xin Changkong's mortal path, wouldn't that allow your mortal path to reach a higher level?"

Mo Wuji nodded: "That's right, so I urgently need to find a place to cultivate in seclusion. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll die without a burial place."

Ding Huan, thank you so much, you've helped me a lot.

For Mo Wuji, Ding Huan brought him the Path of Humanity, which was more than just a great help.

Once he comprehends the mortal path and undergoes a complete transformation of his own mortal path, he will be qualified to contend with those powerful beings who have created the universe when he steps into the eighth step of the Great Dao.

"Seclusion is not as good as going to the Mist Realm. The Mist Realm is safer, and its rules of heaven and earth are very independent, making it suitable for proving one's Dao..."

Ding Huan also planned to go into seclusion to improve his Dao strength.

Mo Wuji shook his head: "Never go to the Mist Realm to advance to the eighth step of the Great Dao, otherwise you might not be able to leave the Mist Realm. Do you know why someone like Pang Buzi dares not go to the Mist Realm?" "Could there be even stronger beings in the Mist Realm?" Ding Huan really didn't know.

Mo Wuji said with certainty, "There are definitely stronger beings out there. Lan Xiaobu and I have long seen through these bastards; not a single one of them is any good."

If you obtain a Chaos Treasure, you'd better not use it, because most of those Chaos Treasures contain the bloodline principles left behind by powerful beings...

Well, since you can extract the Great Dao's will from the principles of creation, you shouldn't make such a basic mistake.

These powerful beings who accompanied the creation of the universe were all tyrannical bastards. They believed that everything in the vast universe, even the excrement, belonged to them, and the vast universe itself was theirs.

Whether it's the Mist Realm or the World of Gods, they will never let anyone who threatens them get away with it. Therefore, with our current strength, going to the Mist Realm for secluded cultivation and advancement would be like throwing good money after bad.

Mo Wuji was quite helpless when he said this.

He and Lan Xiaobu have worked hard enough, haven't they? They've faced all sorts of hardships along the way.

But what's the use?
What they struggle their whole lives for, others are born with.

Not only that, these people also prevented them from obtaining things they no longer valued.

Ding Huan felt very heavy-hearted. He had long guessed that there were top experts in the Mist Realm, but he hadn't explained it as clearly as Mo Wuji.

If they cannot go into seclusion in the Mist Realm, nor in the World of Gods, then where should they go?
"I have a place where you can go into seclusion, but before that, you can go to the Thorn Forest and get some top-grade Dao veins, preferably no more than ten thousand."

These top-grade Dao veins were also collected by those bastards..."

Ding Huan chuckled: "I know, I've already gotten five or six thousand top-grade Dao veins inside."

He acquired five or six thousand top-grade Dao veins in the thorn forest and also plundered the Great Dao Worlds of Huan and Leihen, bringing his total number of top-grade Dao veins to over ten thousand.

These cultivation resources are enough for him to reach the eighth step of the Dao. Not only that, he also wants to condense another Dao principle of creation for Nianhuan to reach the seventh step of the Dao.

"That's good. I know a secluded place that's absolutely safe. Let's go there together and go into seclusion. Once we take another step forward, we'll be able to face Pang Buzi one-on-one."

Upon hearing that Ding Huan had acquired sufficient Dao veins, Mo Wuji was overjoyed.

He knew very well that he really couldn't get too many top-grade Dao veins from the Thorn Forest. Once he got too many, who knew what kind of trouble would come out?
Besides, the thorn forest is actually a very dangerous place.

He cultivates the mortal path, and his sense of danger is stronger than others.

Therefore, it's best to avoid the thorn forest if possible.

"Pang Buzi lives in the center of chaos in the world of gods, right? The Thorn Forest hides so many top-grade Dao veins, so Pang Buzi is probably not the only strong person in the center of chaos."

Ding Huan suddenly realized that Mo Wuji's description of these ancient powerhouses as "tyrant dogs" was very apt.

“Yes, if you think those powerful people cultivate using top-grade Dao veins like us, then you are very wrong. They use Chaos Dao veins, which are pure Primordial Qi veins from the beginning of creation.”

Mo Wuji's tone was filled with helplessness.

It's not that they don't work hard, but that many things can't be achieved simply by working hard.

Ding Huan sighed helplessly, "Poverty really limits my imagination. Let's go, let's go to the place you mentioned for seclusion. Has Lan Xiaobu gone ahead?"

"No, Lan Xiaobu's path to immortality still needs further refinement; he's gone to perfect his own path..."

At this point, Mo Wuji said with some relief, "Xiao Bu discovered the problem with his own Great Dao first, but I hadn't even discovered it yet. Fortunately, you appeared and allowed me to completely perfect my Mortal Dao."

But before that, we need to go to the chaotic center of the world of gods.

"Why?" Ding Huan looked at Mo Wuji, puzzled.

If it were just one Pang Buzi, the two of them could still handle him if they joined forces.

In the chaotic center of the world of gods, there is more than one powerful figure like Pang Buzi. They went there to deliver takeout to these powerful figures.

"I need to find the Chaos Universe Silk. My magic weapon encountered some problems during the last battle against Pang Buzi. I need the Chaos Universe Silk to upgrade my magic weapon into a Chaos Supreme Treasure..."

There was one more thing Mo Wuji didn't say.

The Chaos Treasure was definitely not the ultimate form of his Mortal Halberd.

However, for his mortal halberd to advance into a Chaos Treasure, it needs to first become a Post-Chaos Treasure and then enter the center of his own Great Dao Universe for nurturing.

"What are we still hesitating for? Let's go." Ding Huan immediately controlled the cosmic cauldron to rush towards the center of chaos, and at the same time sent a message to Di He.

Ding He and Shi Wanrong can just stay in seclusion in the City of Gods and Demons; there's no need to wait for him.

He needs the chaotic cosmic silk as well.

Ding Huan had previously learned about cosmic threads and the chaotic cosmic threads.

The quality of cosmic silk is a whole level lower than that of chaotic cosmic silk.

It's like the difference between chaotic liquid and chaotic slurry.

If his Tribulation-Breaking Blade were to fuse with the Chaos Universe Silk and then be nurtured in his own Chaos Law Sea, it could very well become another Chaos Treasure.
