Chapter 182: The Journey with Mo Qiu (1)
When Qing Jun was transformed into the wick, he gave Luo Jianqing some warm pill power.
The pill power of a Ninth-Level Pill was just to consolidate the realm of Luo Jianqing who had just reached Out-of-Body. Besides that, Luo Jianiqng didn’t feel anything else. Now, as he came to the Northern Land of Arctic, he finally felt something different.
The not-much-left pill power of Qing Jun directed Luo Jianqing to this place.
When Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi were searching around the Feng Shen Sea, the Ku Mountain collapsed before they could finish. Luo Jianqing had never been here, so maybe the relic of the Mo’s ancestor was just in this place.
Qing Jun was a pill made by Supreme Master Jiu Lian to cure the serious wound of Mo Qing and save his life. Therefore, Qing Jun had deep connections with Mo Qing. If Luo Jianqing could feel it around the Feng Shen Sea, then he could only come up with one theory-
Mo Qing’s relic was around here!
After a short hesitation, Luo Jianqing decided to fly to that place with Mo Qiu.
The clock was ticking, but Luo Jianqing couldn’t hide the truth from Mo Qiu and leave with nothing. After all, they had met each other. No one knew when they would come here again or what they would encounter next time.
Luo Jianqing said, “I come here for the remains of your family’s ancestor. When the remains open, it will give out a powerful attack, so we must handle it meticulously. Then, you can get the relic in the remains.”
Hearing that, Mo Qiu slightly frowned and asked, “How do you know that so well?”
Although he didn’t tell Mo Qiu everything in the remains, Luo Jianqing provided enough details, as if he had been there before.
Then, Luo Jianqing replied calmly, “Well, that’s a long story. The ancestor of your family is an intimate friend of the third Chief Master of Yu Xiao Peak, Sir Jiu Lian. I read about it in an old book in Yu Xiao Peak, so I came here to search for your ancestor’s remains.”
A strange expression appeared on Mo Qiu’s face, but he concealed it quickly before Luo Jianqing could notice it. Mo Qiu nodded with a calm face and asked, “I see, then should I thank you?”
Luo Jianqing said, “Yes, but don’t mind, just see it as my repay for your saving my life.”
Mo Qiu said angrily, “Luo Jianqing! Is my life-saving favor so valueless?”
Luo Jianqing made a bow with hands folded and said, “Fellow Cultivator Mo, the relic in that remains is worth life-saving favors for quite a few times.
Mo Qiu, “… You will stop at nothing to piss me off.”
Seeing Mo Qiu’s speechless face, Luo Jianqing curled his lips. Similing was a rare thing for him these days. Since Mo Qiu saved him on the Feng Shen Sea, he had worn a serious face and furrowed his brow tightly for several days.
His journey in the Northern Land of Arctic started with joy and happiness, yet ended with sorrows and parting. Luo Jianqing’s heart broke into pieces. He was not a man dedicated to the righteous cause, so he didn’t care about the well-being of other people. All he worried about was Xuan Lingzi.
In this life, Luo Jianqing had experienced so many different things.
Luo Jianqing had never heard the collapse of the Ku Mountain. In his last incarnation, in the equivalent year, Luo Jianqing would be hunted down in the Northern Land of Arctic half a year later, yet even at that time, the Northern Land of Arctic didn’t suffer from this disaster, and everything was fine. The story was totally different.
However, now the fact was that the Ku Mountain had collapsed, and Xuan Lingzi had been trapped in it. The demons were also going to start something.
So many burdens fell on Luo Jianqing, and any one of them was heavy enough to make him anxious, especially Xuan Lingzi.
Hearing the smile of Luo Jianqing, Mo Qiu was baffled at first and then also curled his fine lips, beaming.
They continued to fly fast. After one more kilometer, Luo Jianqing stopped at a cliff. They approached the edge of the cliff and looked down, nothing but bottomless abyss. The mountains and cliffs around them were also steep, as if they wanted to surround the abyss.
Such a terrain was unusual in the relatively flat Northern Land of Arctic.
Mo Qiu said, “These cliffs were too close to each other, as if they formed a circle to hide something. Luo Jianqing, I could see the things five kilometers away even in smog, but… I can’t see the bottom of this abyss. Are you sure we’re going to jump into it?”
Luo Jianqing turned around and said, “That’s the place. We’re jumping in.”
As he finished, Luo Jianqing jumped into the abyss, and Mo Qiu followed in without any hesitation.
The mountain here was only three kilometers high, yet plus the abyss, the depth was at least five kilometers. However, Mo Qiu underestimated it. The abyss was far deeper than five kilometers, but doubled.
They had made full preparation when they landed, yet still struck the ground heavily, getting some bruises.
The bottom was pitch-dark. Judging from the air velocity, it was quite narrow.
As a super-rich cultivator, Mo Qiu took out a luminous pearl. Instantly, bright rays lit up the whole bottom. Until now, Mo Qiu found that this place was not just narrow, but even tiny!
Luo Jianqing looked around at the familiar scene and said, “Yes, here it is.”
Mo Qiu, “…”
The bottom of the cave is a circle with a radius of ten meters. The cave wall stretched all the way from the cliff, and to the bottom, it was smooth and cold. They had seen four or five mountains on the cliff, but now in the bottom, these mountains all fused into one, as if they had once been a single huge mountain and then penetrated by something from the top to the bottom. After years of withering and erosion, an eerie cave finally came into shape.
There was nothing here in the bottom but some small stones and the smooth cave wall.
Luo Jianqing walked to the wall and began to knock it. It seemed that he was quite familiar with this action, as if he had done it for countless times. Luo Jianqing carefully knocked along the all until he heard something different. Then he turned to Mo Qiu, and Mo Qiu also looked at him.
Luo Jianqing said, “I’ve told that a dreadful attack will come. I guess it’s at least equivalent to the attack of a Da Sheng Period cultivator. My Master said he would block the attack for me, but now…” Luo Jianqing paused for a while and then continued, “Anyway, our cultivation is good enough, so if we can dodge the attack surface, I can manage to block it. Mo Qiu, what about you?”
Mo Qiu had leaned against the wall and gazed at Luo Jianqing. Hearing what he had said, Mo Qiu said casually, “Well, even you can block it, why can’t I?”
Luo Jianqing said, “Save your bravado. You can’t underestimate it.”
Mo Qiu waved his hand, “Such a minor thing can’t bother me. Just rest assured…”
Boom!!!
A green light sprang up to the sky, giving out horrible power and pressure. Mo Qiu and Luo Jianqing were overwhelmed as if they were suffocated in the deep ocean. Mo Qiu’s face turned serious. He quickly took out a blood-red bell from his Interspatial Ring, and a red ward shaped around him, shielding him.
Luo Jianqing on the other hand, handled it with ease. He avoided the main attack surface of the green light and blocked it with his Floating Frost Sword.
After about a quarter, the sword light began to dim, and then the cave went back to normal. Although the light was horrible and powerful, it didn’t hurt the cave wall at all, which was still smooth. Only the remaining power in the air was still reminding them what had happened.
Mo Qiu clutched his fist and said furiously, “Luo Jianqing, are you gonna kill me?”
Luo Jianqing pretended to be astonished and said, “Fellow Cultivator Mo, haven’t you said you are ready and let me rest assured?”
Mo Qiu, “You!”
They couldn’t afford to waste more time, so they stopped quarreling. They could just hear some small noise rang in the center of the cave. Mo Qiu looked around vigilantly, while Luo Jianqing was relieved and looked at the center of the bottom.
