Dream King

Chapter 128

Just then, the clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind. Just as Longkui was about to be scorched to death by the sun, a mature and beautiful woman came gracefully with an umbrella, blocking the sunlight from Longkui's head. This young and beautiful woman was none other than Wan Yuzhi, whom she had met at the inn yesterday.

After shielding Longkui from the sunlight, Wan Yuzhi said to Mo Mo with a hint of anger, "You look like a decent-looking man, but I never expected you to be so inhuman, watching such a delicate and beautiful woman perish right in front of you."

Mo Mo smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "Humanity? What is human nature? Little fox, don't think that just because you married a human, you truly understand what human nature is."

Wan Yuzhi's expression changed drastically upon hearing Mo Mo's words, but before she could speak, Mo Mo continued, "What is human nature? In essence, human nature is the nature of human beings. However, people are divided into good and evil, and human nature is naturally divided into good and evil as well. You still have a long way to go."

At that moment, Wan Yuzhi didn't hear what Mo Mo was saying at all. She only knew that her identity had been exposed, and once her identity was exposed, she would no longer be able to take care of her husband.

At this moment, a fierce glint flashed in Wan Yuzhi's eyes, but Mo Mo's next action terrified her. Mo Mo gently placed his hand on her shoulder, and all the demonic power in her body was frozen and completely unusable.

"You, you are not an ordinary person, who are you? Please don't take me in. I still need to take care of my husband. He is bedridden now and will die without my care." Wan Yuzhi's pretty face was full of pleading after her body was restrained and she could not move.

"Humans and demons are different. Although you have no intention of harming anyone, he will die because of you. Your relationship with him is destined to end badly. If you really want what's best for him, then leave him. He is just a mortal and cannot accept your kindness." Although Mo Mo sympathized with Wan Yuzhi, Wan Yuzhi's husband was just a mortal. How could he possibly accept Wan Yuzhi, a demon of exceptional quality?

Longkui had spent a few days with Mo Mo and had come to understand his personality. So she took Mo Mo's hand and said coquettishly, "Brother Mo Mo, I know you are a good person. This sister is so pitiful, please help her! Okay? Longkui begs you."

Upon seeing this, Wan Yuzhi knelt down with a thud, grabbed Mo Mo's hand and pleaded, "Senior, I beg you to save my husband. As long as you can save my husband, I, Wan Yuzhi, am willing to serve you like a slave and give you everything."

Mo Mo sighed softly. It was truly rare for a fox demon to forget her husband to such an extent. Mo Mo had a heart of flesh and blood, so she said, "I can save him, but after I heal him, he will forget everything about you, and you will have to leave him."

Just then, Xuejian and Xu Maoshan returned to the place after their playful fight. Wan Yuzhi nodded slightly to Mo Mo and said softly, "Then this servant will await your arrival, young master."

After Wan Yuzhi left, Mo Mo and the others rushed to the place where Master Liu's body was located. After investigating, Xu Changqing concluded that Master Liu had died from having his life force drained, which was the work of a demon, and he asked the villagers to help each other.

However, upon hearing Xu Changqing's words, the surrounding villagers suddenly scattered with a loud bang, much to his surprise.

Faced with Xu Changqing's confusion, Jing Tian told him that it's best to mind your own business and that selfishness is the most common phenomenon.

Xu Changqing then sought Mo Mo's opinion, and the three decided to split into three groups: Mo Mo would go to Wan Yuzhi's house to investigate, Jing Tian and Xue Jian would go to Master Liu's house to investigate, and Xu Changqing would go around the village to look for information.

After assigning the tasks, everyone quickly began to act. When Mo Mo arrived at Wan Yuzhi's house, Wan Yuzhi was using her demonic power to channel her husband's essence to prolong his life. Mo Mo's sudden arrival startled her, and she almost lost control of her demonic power, causing it to erupt and kill her husband.

A minute later, Wan Yuzhi withdrew her demonic power and stood nervously by her husband's bedside. She had just transferred Master Liu's essence into her husband's body to prolong his life, but Mo Mo had seen it. She was now very afraid that Mo Mo would refuse to treat her husband in anger.

Seeing Wan Yuzhi's expression and recalling what she had just done, Mo Mo naturally knew what she was worried about. So he said calmly, "Don't worry, that man was ungrateful and heartless. He's dead, so be it. Consider this his repayment of past favors. Give him this." As he spoke, Mo Mo flipped his hand and took out a translucent white pill the size of a little finger.

Wan Yuzhi hesitated for a moment before taking the translucent white pill from Mo Mo's hand. After taking the pill, she held it under her nose and gently inhaled. Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a breath, a rich vitality rushed into her nose, making her eyes light up instantly.

She glanced at Mo Mo, and seeing him nod, she happily pried open her husband's mouth and fed him the pill.

A few minutes later, just as Wan Yuzhi was about to give up, her husband’s breathing became stronger and stronger. A little over two minutes later, Wan Yuzhi’s husband suddenly opened his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Wan Yuzhi gasped in surprise and immediately threw herself into her husband's arms, weeping with joy. However, her husband's first words stunned her: "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

Looking at her bewildered husband, Wan Yuzhi smiled bitterly, glanced back at Mo Mo, suppressed her grief, wiped the tears from her face, and said with a bitter smile, "Although you have forgotten me, I do not hate you. This is my choice, my husband. This is the last time I will call you my husband. Goodbye, I hope you can be happy."

After Wan Yuzhi finished speaking, she turned and ran outside, while the crystal tears on her face slid down one by one, falling to the ground and shattering into pieces.

Seeing Wan Yuzhi running away in tears, the man surnamed Gao was stunned and wanted to ask Mo Mo a question, but Mo Mo raised his hand to stop him and said, "Go to sleep, and all your worries will be gone when you wake up."

After Mo Mo finished speaking, the man surnamed Gao slowly lay back down on the bed and closed his eyes. After the man fell asleep, Mo Mo also left Wan Yuzhi's former home.

Once outside, Mo Mo discovered that just a few meters away, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in purple stood gracefully, her beautiful, watery eyes fixed on him, filled with murderous intent.

Chapter 354 The Blessing of Having Multiple Women? A Trap

"Having accomplished his task, he left without a trace, concealing his merits and fame." Mo Mo believed that this phrase perfectly described what he was doing. He had painstakingly created a body for Long Kui to revive her and even cured her schizophrenia. Of course, most importantly, he had added a stunningly beautiful woman to the world. Long Kui, dressed in a red dress, was indeed stunningly beautiful, but he did not take credit for it and quietly left the room. Of course, this was Mo Mo's own opinion.

Ignoring the staring contest in the room, Mo Mo left after Jing Tian and the others entered. Otherwise, he would be annoyed to death by their endless questions. It was better to wait for them to calm down first and then make up an excuse to get away with it.

After leaving the room, Mo Mo walked straight out of the inn. Just as he stepped out of the inn, he ran into Xu Changqing, who seemed a little absent-minded. It wasn't until they were less than five meters apart that Xu Changqing noticed Mo Mo and greeted him. Judging from his appearance, Mo Mo guessed that he was probably still being teased by Zi Xuan.

Now that Xu Changqing had returned, Mo Mo didn't plan to go far, lest Jingtian and the others not be able to find him when they set off for the ancient forest and wasted time. So he instructed the shopkeeper to brew a pot of tea and bring a couple of plates of pastries, and then sat down at the table by the window to wait.

Mo Mo slowly savored the hot tea in his hand. Although it lacked any ethereal energy and tasted bitter and bland, Mo Mo didn't dislike it. Despite its plainness and unpleasant flavor, it was incredibly thirst-quenching. And after all, isn't tea meant to quench thirst? The greatest truths are the simplest, and this is the true essence of tea.

Of course, Mo Mo wouldn't be pretentious and think that tea is only for quenching thirst and nothing else matters, because he's not stupid. He would never miss out on what he should enjoy. Moreover, as time has passed, tea has long since deviated from its original purpose of simply quenching thirst. Now, drinking tea is more of an enjoyment, a mood.

Just as Mo Mo was turning the teacup in his hand, slightly reminiscing and passing the time, he suddenly smelled a delicate fragrance. This fragrance was like a secluded orchid in a valley, fresh and elegant, making people feel refreshed. Then a clear voice came: "Young master is really leisurely, actually hiding here to drink tea all by himself."

Turning his head, Mo Mo saw the Holy Maiden dressed in a blue-purple long dress. "Oh, it's the Holy Maiden. Please sit down." Mo Mo smiled slightly and gestured for the Holy Maiden to sit down. As she did so, Mo Mo casually picked up a teacup and poured her some tea. He then said with a smile, "Holy Maiden, you misunderstand. I just wanted to give them more space to talk. I wasn't hiding, and I wasn't hiding at all. I'm drinking tea here openly and honestly."

Saintess rolled her eyes at Mo Mo with some annoyance, but didn't say anything. Mo Mo wasn't annoyed by this and slowly savored the bitter coarse tea in his hand. But to be fair, although Saintess's hair was snow-white, her skin was crystal clear and full of luster. Her appearance and figure were no less than Zi Xuan's. Moreover, she usually had a serious face, but now she suddenly showed such a posture, which was really charming and beautiful beyond compare.

With an appreciative attitude, Mo Mo enjoyed drinking hot tea and eating pastries while admiring the beautiful woman before him, which was quite a pleasure. On the other side, the Holy Maiden, though being stared at by Mo Mo, was not annoyed. As the saying goes, a woman adorns herself for the one who appreciates her. She did not sense any lust in Mo Mo's gaze, only an appreciation for beauty. This was undoubtedly a great affirmation of her appearance, which made her feel a little proud. After all, she was also a woman, and what woman wouldn't care about her appearance?

However, amidst her joy and triumph, she also felt a pang of loss. The descendant of Nuwa whom she protected had become so obsessed with her appearance that she had lost her true self. In order to maintain her youthful and beautiful appearance, she had betrayed the benevolent nature of the Nuwa clan. Unfortunately, although she was the Holy Maiden and the guardian of this generation of the Nuwa clan, she had no right to interfere with the other's actions. At most, she could only offer advice, but whether to listen or not was entirely up to the other.

Before she had even finished her tea, the Holy Maiden left with a sense of loss, without even asking about Mo Mo's identity. She suddenly realized that even if she knew Mo Mo's identity, what difference would it make? If she couldn't win Zi Xuan back and make her shoulder the responsibility of protecting the world again, then everything would be meaningless to her.

Not long after the Holy Maiden left, Jing Tian and the others came down as well. Upon seeing Mo Mo, they surrounded him and explained their plan. They decided that Xu Maoshan and the Red-Clothed Long Kui would guard the luggage and the box at the inn, while the others would go to the Ancient Vine Forest to search for the Earth Spirit Orb. As for why the Red-Clothed Long Kui was chosen, the reason was simple: she possessed considerable martial arts skills and could better protect their luggage and the box. Xu Maoshan, on the other hand, had been forcibly left behind by Jing Tian.

Afterwards, Mo Mo, Xu Changqing, Xue Jian, Jing Tian, and the blue-clad Long Kui went to the Ancient Vine Forest to search for the Earth Spirit Orb. So after leaving the inn, the group flew to the Ancient Vine Forest on their swords. However, to Mo Mo's surprise, Long Kui actually wanted to ride on the same sword with him instead of Jing Tian. But when Mo Mo flew into the sky on his sword, he understood what was going on.

On the way to the Ancient Vine Forest, Long Kui had Mo Mo deliberately fall behind Xu Changqing and Jing Tian, then leaned close to Mo Mo and whispered, "What exactly did you do to us? Why was my connection with the Demon Sword completely severed? And, and I feel like I'm a living person with flesh and blood, even though I died a thousand years ago."

"It's very simple. Someone created two spiritual bodies for you, then used a secret method to cause your soul to split into two parts, and finally perfectly separated your two personalities, and then resurrected you. So now you are a living person, a living person who can have children."

Mo Mo's words struck Long Kui like a bolt from the blue, leaving her stunned. It took her a long time to recover before she finally asked, "Is what you said true?" In fact, Long Kui already believed what Mo Mo said, but the surprise was so sudden that she couldn't adapt to it. Although Xu Changqing and the others had some guesses, they didn't think Mo Mo had such supernatural powers.

“Of course it’s true, I saw it with my own eyes. But now, apart from your memories and soul, this body has no blood relation to your former self. You can rest assured.” As he said this, Mo Mo’s eyes were filled with schadenfreude. “Jing Tian, thank me. Enjoy the blessing of having two women I’ve given you.”

Upon hearing Mo Mo's words, Long Kui seemed to suddenly understand something, and her pretty face immediately flushed slightly. Mo Mo naturally noticed the strangeness behind him, and the smile in his eyes deepened. Meanwhile, Jing Tian in front was racing Xu Changqing and had no idea that he had been tricked by Mo Mo.

Chapter 355 Outside the Ancient Vine Forest

Although Yongning Village is some distance from the Ancient Vine Forest, it is not very far. It only takes a few minutes to fly there by sword. The Ancient Vine Forest is called the Ancient Vine Forest because this forest is ruled by the Ancient Vine Elder, who is an ancient vine demon with considerable strength.

Of course, although the Ancient Vine Elder was powerful, he was not a bloodthirsty person, which is why they dared to swagger over here on their swords. However, once they arrived, they were completely lost. The Ancient Vine Forest was nearly a hundred miles in circumference, with tall and dense trees and no roads at all. What made Mo Mo speechless was that the map Xu Changqing took out only showed the Ancient Vine Forest as a tiny area the size of a fingernail, marked with a name and the location of the Earth Spirit Orb, and nothing else.

Mo Mo was speechless. With a map like this, without the protagonist's halo and prior knowledge of the plot, let alone 300 days, even if you were given three more years, you still wouldn't be able to find all five elemental pearls. Jing Tian and the others were currently at a loss with the map. There was nothing they could do; the map was too small and lacked specific information, while the Ancient Vine Forest was too vast. If they really wanted to search slowly, it would probably take them several months.

While Jing Tian and the others were deep in thought, Mo Mo leisurely enjoyed the surrounding scenery, knowing that there was no need to search; clues would come to him. Sure enough, just as they were racking their brains, a monkey, slightly shorter than an average person, quietly crept over from not far from them in the ancient vine forest. However, unbeknownst to him, it had already been spotted by Xu Changqing and the others when it approached within ten meters of Mo Mo and the others.

Upon spotting the monkey, Jing Tian and the others exchanged glances and then moved towards it discreetly. Mo Mo, however, quietly took two steps back. He remembered that the monkey's name was Yuan Kong, and its most powerful move, "Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand," involved the use of spatial power. But that wasn't the reason Mo Mo stepped back. The reason he stepped back was that Yuan Kong could transform, like a Super Saiyan from Dragon Ball, into a Great Ape. However, Mo Mo didn't intend to warn them. In any case, Yuan Kong was kind-hearted by nature, and even if he transformed, he wouldn't really harm Jing Tian and the others; at most, they would just be startled.

So, just as Jing Tian and the others slowly approached Yuan Kong, when they were about seven or eight meters away, Yuan Kong let out a loud roar and leaped out. With that roar, Yuan Kong visibly grew larger, transforming in the blink of an eye into a nearly ten-meter-tall gorilla. This terrified Jing Tian and Xue Jian, who turned and ran, leaving only Xu Changqing standing there calmly. Of course, Jing Tian was quite loyal; while running, he didn't forget to call Xu Changqing to run with him.

Turning around, Jing Tian and the others saw Mo Mo standing quietly a dozen meters away from them. Jing Tian immediately understood what was going on and shouted with some grief and indignation, "Mo Mo, you scoundrel, you're so disloyal! You ran away beforehand without even saying goodbye."

Mo Mo glanced at Jing Tian with some disdain and said, "It's your own fault for being so clueless and stupid as to push forward. What does it have to do with me?"

"Master Mo, this is not right of you. If you want to cheat, just cheat this stinky tofu. Why do you have to cheat us too? We are delicate girls, you don't know how to be gentle with us at all." Xuejian was also a little angry after being cheated by Mo Mo.

"Tenderly pity the beautiful? You're not my type, why would I pity you? If you want someone to pity you, go find your Brother Jing." Mo Mo didn't care about Xue Jian's words at all, but instead turned around and said something that made the three of them blush.

"Ah, Bai Doufu can't hold on any longer, I'll go help him." Although Jing Tian and Xue Jian both had feelings for each other, they were still a little embarrassed when Mo Mo said it directly. Even someone as thick-skinned as Jing Tian couldn't stand it, so he found an excuse, grabbed the demon sword on his back, and rushed towards Xu Changqing and Yuan Kong, who were fighting.

However, three seconds later, Jing Tian, with a bruised and swollen face, flew back and fell face-first into the mud in front of Mo Mo and the others with a thud. When he raised his head, he still had a few tender green grasses in his mouth.

"Pfft, hahaha!" Xuejian burst out laughing immediately, and even Longkui couldn't help but smile. Mo Mo, on the other hand, didn't laugh. He squatted down and said to Jingtian with a concerned expression, "Brother Jing, what happened to you? Who beat you up like this? They actually turned you into a pig's head. I will definitely avenge you."

Mo Mo's words were sincere and full of worry and resentment. However, Jing Tian was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he saw Mo Mo's serious face. He wanted to punch him. He knew that Mo Mo was deliberately trying to anger him. So he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, stood up without saying a word, dusted off the dust, picked up his sword, and charged forward again.

"Tsk, quite spirited, but unfortunately his strength is too weak, he can't even dodge." Mo Mo's words had barely fallen when, with a bang, Jing Tian flew back again, in the same posture and position as before, exactly the same.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's good that you have courage, guts, and are willing to fight, but you've forgotten one thing: you can only keep fighting if you're alive. Once you're dead, you have nothing left." A smile appeared in Mo Mo's eyes as he looked at Jing Tian flying back again, but his words were ruthless.

After listening to Mo Mo's words, Jing Tian once again charged out with his sword without saying a word. This time he was a little better and lasted for more than ten seconds before Yuan Kong knocked him away. However, he fell harder and farther this time, and because he had exhausted too much energy, even his sword flew out of his hand.

This time, Mo Mo didn't speak again, but he stopped Xue Jian and Long Kui from running over to check on Jing Tian's injuries. After lying on the ground for two or three seconds, Jing Tian struggled to stand up, his eyes filled with determination. Mo Mo's eyes showed a hint of approval, but it vanished in an instant.

Seeing Jing Tian swaying and about to collapse at any moment, Mo Mo spoke again: "The sword in your hand is your partner and your only support in battle. Remember, as long as you are not dead and the battle is not over, you cannot put down your sword unless you have reached another level."

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian nodded firmly, and with heavy steps, slowly moved to the side of the demonic sword that had fallen to the ground. He solemnly picked it up and held it tightly in his hand. At this moment, Xue Jian and the others finally understood that Mo Mo was instructing Jing Tian. When Mo Mo smiled and nodded, the two cried and threw themselves into Jing Tian's arms. Just then, Xu Changqing also quickly subdued Yuan Kong, who had turned into a gorilla. It turned out that not only Mo Mo, but also Xu Changqing was doing the same.

Jing Tian's injuries were merely superficial, and he was also a little exhausted, so there was nothing seriously wrong with him. After taking a pill that Mo Mo had casually concocted, he was lively and energetic again. At this time, Xu Changqing also learned about the whereabouts of the Earth Spirit Orb from Yuan Kong and was willing to lead the way for them.

Chapter 356 Arrival at the Destination

Whether it was the protagonist's halo or Jing Tian's exceptional persuasive skills, Jing Tian managed to befriend Yuan Kong after only a short time traveling with him and Mo Mo. He even successfully tricked Yuan Kong into agreeing to teach him the Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand technique with a bunch of bananas. Of course, Yuan Kong wasn't entirely naive; he only agreed to teach Jing Tian and explained the various wonders of the Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand technique, but he didn't actually teach him. Clearly, Jing Tian hadn't yet truly passed his test.

According to Yuan Kong, the Old Man of the Ancient Vine lived in the center of the forest, the place with the most abundant spiritual energy. It was also a place that no demon in the Ancient Vine Forest was willing to set foot in casually, because the Old Man of the Ancient Vine could see into people's hearts. Once you saw him, all your secrets would be exposed, including your weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

"If the old man of the ancient vine is so powerful, wouldn't he be invincible? He can see through everyone's secrets with just a glance. How can anyone fight him?" Jing Tian's words expressed Xue Jian and the others' thoughts. However, his next words left the others speechless, and they sighed inwardly, "As expected of Jing Tian."

Jing Tian abandoned Yuan Kong and ran to Xu Changqing's side, whispering, "White Tofu, do you have any way to prevent him from seeing through our hearts? I don't want anyone to find out everything about us, and we're here on a very important mission, so we can't let it slip."

Xu Changqing glanced at Jing Tian and said calmly, "There is a way, of course. As long as you stay calm, he won't be able to see through your thoughts. As for the rest, our identities aren't anything to hide. It's not a big deal if they are discovered. Besides, if there is any real danger, I will risk my life to protect you. Moreover, Elder Gu Teng is kind-hearted and won't do anything to us. So, Brother Jing, you don't need to worry."

"What... never mind, I can't reason with you. You're a great hero, so you get to decide. I'll just learn my 'Handful Empty Hands' technique instead. But I wonder if Old Man Gu Teng can see through Mo Mo. I'm really looking forward to it!" After figuring it out, Jing Tian ran back to Yuan Kong's side to ask him about the Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand technique.

Although the forest was dense with tall trees, Mo Mo and his companions were not ordinary people, and with Yuan Kong leading the way, they moved forward at a rapid pace. After more than ten minutes, they approached the center of the ancient vine forest, where a giant tree, much thicker than the ones next to it, came into view.

Just then, Yuan Kong suddenly stopped and pointed to the big tree in the distance, saying, "See that giant tree? That's the old man of the Ancient Vine's lair. He lives there. You can go over there yourselves. I'll wait for you here and won't go over."

"Huh? Aren't you coming with us? If we fail to get the Earth Spirit Pearl, you're our last hope." After everyone stopped, they looked at Yuan Kong with some surprise. Jing Tian even exclaimed. After all, in his opinion, the Earth Spirit Pearl was a great treasure, and no one was willing to hand it over easily. So Yuan Kong's Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand would be very necessary. They could steal the Earth Spirit Pearl and run away, and even the Ancient Vine Elder would probably be unable to do anything to them.

Yuan Kong thought about it again and realized that this made sense, but he still didn't want to go with them, so he was hesitant. Seeing this, Jing Tian and the others didn't disturb Yuan Kong and just waited quietly for his decision.

A little over a minute later, Yuan Kong suddenly looked up, called out to Jing Tian, and then the two of them, one human and one monkey, slipped away from the crowd and walked behind a dense thicket of bushes. A dozen minutes later, Jing Tian emerged with a joyful expression, while Yuan Kong behind him appeared somewhat weak. It was clear that he had exhausted a lot of his energy after teaching Jing Tian the Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand technique. So, after greeting Mo Mo and the others, he quickly left.

"Let's go. As long as I'm here, the Earth Spirit Orb will be a piece of cake." Jing Tian's face was full of confidence.

"You stinky tofu, you'll die if you don't brag, won't you?" As Jingtian's nemesis, Xuejian seemed to have an innate instinct to attack him. She could just open her mouth and say whatever came to mind without even thinking, and she always managed to hit the mark perfectly.

Seeing that Xuejian was about to continue to criticize and expose him, Jingtian quickly ran over and pulled her aside, whispering, "Hey, hey, you little pig, can you give me some face? I finally got a little sister, can you stop making me look bad in front of her? It's so embarrassing. I'll just give in to you more often in the future."

Seeing that Jing Tian had finally given in and Xue Jian had let him go, the group set off again. As the saying goes, "looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death," although the giant tree was right in front of them, it took them more than ten minutes to reach it. However, perhaps because this was the territory of the Old Man of the Ancient Vine, the area was much more open. Apart from some flowers and grass, there were basically no other trees around the ancient tree. There was a stone forest around the giant tree, which completely blocked the view of what was under the tree roots, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Now that the Earth Spirit Orb was right in front of them, there was no reason to back down. However, the closer they got to success, the more cautious they had to be. So, the group entered the Stone Forest with Xu Changqing and Jing Tian leading the way, Long Kui and Xue Jian in the middle, and Mo Mo bringing up the rear.

Jing Tian, as expected of the protagonist, knew that without a map, an ordinary person would probably get lost very quickly in such a huge maze. Moreover, this was already the territory of the Ancient Vine Elder. If flying around on his sword recklessly was seen as a provocation by the Ancient Vine Elder, it would be bad. Although their goal was the Ancient Vine Elder's Earth Spirit Orb, which was destined to end badly, it was better not to break off relations if possible.

Therefore, it is impossible to directly view the route of the maze. In addition, the maze itself has fog that confuses the eyes, making it easier to get lost. However, this rule does not apply to Jing Tian. Under Mo Mo's divine sense, he can clearly see that although Jing Tian is just walking forward randomly, the route he chooses is not the shortest, but it is the safest. He has avoided countless traps along the way.

Although the maze was large, it always had an end. After turning a corner, the view in front of them suddenly opened up. No longer were there unchanging rocks. A giant tree stood majestically in front of them, and at the exit, an old man with white hair stood right in the middle of the maze's exit. Mo Mo knew that he was the Old Man of Ancient Vine.

Before Mo Mo and the others could speak, the old man spoke first, saying, "I already know why you've come. Although I am just a vine demon, I am not a demon who doesn't understand righteousness. But don't think you can easily take away the treasure that has been with you for hundreds of years."
