Chapter 78: The world of cultivation.
Mo Qi didn't say any of this. If they were truly facing the Heavenly Dao, there would definitely be danger. He was afraid that if he spoke, Mo Xiu would definitely want to go with him.
Even if he didn't say anything, after spending so much time together, how could Mo Xiu not sense the subtle changes in her beloved's emotions?
He gave Cheng Cheng a push, signaling the others to exit through the passage, then turned to Mo Qi and said, "I'll go with you."
"You..." Mo Qi frowned upon hearing this, feeling somewhat unwilling. But seeing the determination in her lover's eyes, she knew that even if she tried to persuade him, it would be useless.
Fortunately, the others knew that going any further wouldn't make any difference; they could barely even take a step. Although reluctant, Xiao Wan still wanted to persuade Mo Xiu and Mo Qi to come out with them.
But Mo Qi's attitude was firm, so they had no choice but to obediently leave.
The two walked forward in silence for a while longer. Mo Xiu didn't ask any questions; he knew there would be danger ahead. Otherwise, Mo Qi wouldn't have been so tense.
However, he said nothing. All he wanted now was to be with the person he loved, and no matter what happened, he would stand firmly behind them, just as Mo Qi had stood behind him countless times before.
Regardless, they should face it together.
Before long, they finally saw a light in the distance. It seemed that this must be the end.
Where does this lead? There's even light! Could they be heading to another area?
Mo Xiu had many questions in his mind, and Mo Qi beside him also frowned. When they got closer, they saw the opening that looked like an archway.
I just don't know what's going on. I can clearly see the light, but it's all foggy, as if there's a layer between us, and I can't see the scenery on the other side at all.
Mo Xiu looked at Mo Qi in confusion, only to see Mo Qi wave his hand and directly remove the spell that was blocking their view.
Mo Xiu then saw the scene before her clearly and realized that the passageway connected to another world.
The area is surrounded by green mountains and trees, shrouded in mist, making it not only breathtakingly beautiful but also giving people a sense of ethereal beauty.
He saw that Mo Qi beside him also had a clear expression of surprise on his face. The other person stepped out of the cave first, looking around in astonishment, muttering to himself, "Here, here... how is this possible!"
"What's wrong? Mo Qi, do you know where this is?" Mo Xiu asked.
Mo Qi nodded, his expression somewhat bewildered. "Of course I know where this place is. This is the world I told you about, the world I lived in before my failed ascension."
"You mean, this is the cultivation world?" Even Mo Xiu was shocked.
He never imagined that the world Mo Qi was in before his transmigration would have such a connecting passage to their current world.
Does that mean that the other person's time travel was not an accident?
Clearly, Mo Qi had also considered this, and his expression became extremely serious. When he looked around, his eyes also held a hint of scrutiny.
Just as they were hesitating about whether to explore further into the distance, suddenly, several people swooped down from the sky not far away.
The leader was a young man dressed in white, who looked like a cultivator. As he flew on his sword, he shouted, "Who is it? How dare you trespass into this forbidden area! If you don't want to die here, leave at once!"
But as he approached, the man saw Mo Qi's face clearly and was instantly horrified. He stretched out his hand, pointing at Mo Qi with trembling hands, and said, "Demon, demon!"
Mo Qi raised an eyebrow upon hearing the other person's words; he hadn't heard that form of address in a long time.
Although he didn't recognize the face before him, he had seen many people in the cultivation world. As a venerable figure of the demonic path, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a being who struck fear into the hearts of righteous cultivators.
So the people on the other side know me, which means there's no doubt that the world they're in now is the same world I was in before I traveled through time.
After they emerged from the tunnel entrance, more than one cultivator flew over.
The people behind followed one after another. Although they were also surprised to see Mo Qi, they were not as surprised as the young man before them.
One of them quickly patted the man on the shoulder, gave him a warning look, and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Quickly send a message to Master and tell him to come over as soon as possible."
Seeing that the four or five cultivators opposite him were somewhat surprised and wary, but clearly showed no hostility, Mo Qi was also a little puzzled. This was not what he had imagined.
Mo Xiu stood beside Mo Qi, watching the scene unfold before her without making a sound.
Unlike himself, who could fly using his wind-based abilities, these people seemed to be able to fly around freely. He knew very well that they didn't have any special abilities; they were cultivators.
Upon hearing someone call Mo Qi a "demon," Mo Xiu immediately became alert, fearing they might harm her beloved.
I just don't know if I can deal with this group of cultivators if I use all my superpowers to attack.
Mo Qi naturally sensed Mo Xiu's nervousness, so she reached out and gently patted her lover's hand, whispering reassuringly, "It's alright."
The young cultivator who was the first to call out "Mo Qi the Demon" noticed their actions and stared in surprise.
He glanced at his senior brothers and sisters beside him, and from their equally unusual expressions, he could tell that they were also very shocked.
Has this Demon Lord, who has been destined to be single for eternity, actually found a Daoist partner?
Damn it! None of the righteous immortals have Daoist partners, so why does this demon lord have one first? I feel like I've lost for some reason!
Master, you are still too disappointing!
Before long, the sky turned dark and gloomy as countless cultivators rushed toward them.
Mo Xiu raised her head, her nerves taut as she watched the scene before her. These people were dressed in various styles, exuding an ethereal aura. Especially the few cultivators who flew in from the sky at the head of the group, they seemed to have very high cultivation levels.
Judging from their attire, there might even be a righteous immortal among them whom Mo Qi once mentioned.
Could it be that they knew Mo Qi, the Demon Lord, had returned, and came together to deal with him?
Thinking of this, Mo Xiu tightened her grip on Mo Qi's hand, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Why don't we go back? There are too many of them..."
Although Mo Xiu had great faith in Mo Qi's strength and knew he was formidable, even the strongest can be outnumbered. With so many opponents, it was hard not to worry.
Seeing this, Mo Qi shook his head calmly, showing no intention of returning for the time being. He wanted to see what these people were up to.
Mo Qi understood. Since this passageway led to the world he had traveled through before, and it wasn't the first time it had existed, and based on the professor's words, it must have been there for a very long time.
The fact that the righteous sects even sent people to guard the area shows that they knew about this from the beginning.
Since they knew about him, yet didn't go to find him through the passageway or enter another world, doesn't that also indicate that these righteous people currently have no hostility towards them?
Most importantly, when they flew closer, Mo Qi was surprised to find that there were quite a few familiar faces from the demonic cultivation world among the group, some of whom were even his capable subordinates.
Especially the Grand Elder, who was flying next to the Immortal Lord, was already waving excitedly at him after seeing him.
Wait a minute! Why are the Immortal Venerable and his Grand Elder together?
Even though it's possible to fly side by side in the air, aren't these two a little too close? Something just doesn't seem right.
If it were just one or two, one could guess that they had betrayed him or the demonic cultivators.
But with so many demonic cultivators now mingling with righteous cultivators, it feels like the world has become something I can't understand.
Before Mo Qi could even process what was happening, the bearded elder had already flown to his side. Upon seeing Mo Qi, he was almost in tears, exclaiming excitedly, "Your Excellency! Your Excellency, you've finally returned! We've waited for you for so many years!"
"Huh?" Mo Qi was taken aback. They were waiting for him. He had failed to ascend before, and the result of failing to ascend was death, which meant he was gone!
Why are they waiting for him? They seem to have known all along that he would come back.
Seeing the First Elder's state, the Immortal Venerable looked on with pity. He walked over and gently patted the Elder's shoulder before turning to look at Mo Qi and Mo Xiu.
For the first time, he bowed deeply to them and said, "Thank you both for coming from afar. Nameless Demon Lord, although the righteous and demonic paths have always been somewhat at odds, it is far from the point of mutual destruction."
Especially since you became the Demon Lord, those demonic cultivators have become much more restrained, and we righteous cultivators also intend to make peace with them. However…”
Before the Immortal Venerable could finish speaking, the Grand Elder beside him grew impatient, glared at him, and said, "Can you stop talking so much nonsense all day long? You're so indecisive, so dawdling, it's driving me crazy!"
"Just say what you have to say! Don't waste our esteemed leader's time!"
Upon hearing this, the Immortal Venerable showed a helpless expression on his face. He quickly bowed to the Grand Elder and said in a pleading tone, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault."
Seeing this, Mo Qi glanced at the people around him and found that they seemed completely unfazed. They didn't seem to find anything wrong with the Immortal Venerable's attitude towards their Great Elder of the Demonic Cultivation Realm, and raised an eyebrow.
At this moment, the Immortal Venerable turned to Mo Qi and continued, "Sorry, sorry, I'll get down to business now."
"Demon Lord, in the past, many people from our righteous path frequently caused you trouble, which was actually a last resort. The reasons behind this must be explained now."
We do this so that we can force you to cultivate more diligently and reach the realm of ascension more quickly.
In truth, the spiritual energy of the cultivation world has long been nearly exhausted. Those of us on the righteous path have made no progress and have no way to ascend. This world is in trouble, and we need someone to break this cycle and give the entire cultivation world a way out. That person is you!
"And one more thing, that is, we are all actually reborn!"
