Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 771: Backlash

"You asked a good question, indeed, I do have my own selfish reasons!" Mo Wujie, when questioned, frankly admitted, "Just now, I didn't tell everyone something—within that Divine Tomb, besides the Divine Heritage, there are also countless Ancient Divine Artifacts buried.

My request is quite simple; I need a Divine Artifact called Phantom Sun from inside the Divine Tomb."

"Phantom Sun, an Ancient Divine Artifact?"

The crowd suddenly realized.

This meant that Mo Wujie was leveraging everyone's strength to open the Divine Tomb, and in return, he wanted to obtain a Divine Artifact from within. This was a mutual use of each other's capabilities.

It sounded plausible enough.

Afterward, Spiritual Energy burst forth from Mo Wujie's arm, activating the roll of beast skin in his hand. free𝑤ebnovel.com

A huge projection appeared in the void.

That projection showed the continuous Yuchu Mountain Range.

And at the heart of the Yuchu Mountain Range, a magnificently structured Divine Tomb could be clearly seen.

Then, Mo Wujie proceeded to introduce the structures around the Divine Tomb and the many foreign races, how to set up the troops to match them, and how to break through the Formations.

He explained everything in detail.

"This guy came prepared. It seems he's been planning for a long time and didn't just come up with this on the spur of the moment," Qinchuan thought, sitting in the loft and not joining the others' discussions.

"Everyone, when the Divine Tomb was built, it drew upon the Stellar Force from above the Nine Heavens, making it incredibly sturdy.

However, it weakens periodically every million years.

This weakening period is in two days, on the seventh day of the seventh month, and this time is different from before. This year, with the nine stars retrograding, the Stellar Force will be at its weakest, and the Barrier of the Divine Tomb will reach unprecedented frailty."

"The seventh day of the seventh month!" Qinchuan recalled the many rumors recently circulating in Yuchu City, saying that on the seventh day of the seventh month, a Spiritual Treasure would appear in the world.

Thinking about it now, this rumor wasn't without basis and was very likely spread by Mo Wujie himself.

Mo Wujie continued with fervent enthusiasm, "This time is our best chance to break through the Divine Tomb. Hence, whether we can open the Divine Tomb and obtain the treasures inside will depend on everyone's performance!"

"If it truly is the tomb of a deity, nobody would refuse!" Blood Godzi's aura surged, his oppressive force enveloping the area as he coldly gazed at the crowd.

"Young Master Mo, rest assured, we will give it our all," replied the group of strong individuals, all visibly excited at the prospect of immediately heading to the Yuchu Mountain Range.

After Mo Wujie had informed the crowd of some more details, the gathering came to a close amidst everyone's anticipation.

Seeing the crowd leave the place in high spirits, it was clear they were already preparing to enter the Divine Tomb in two days.

"Let's go as well," Qinchuan whispered, ready to leave the place.

"Miss Bai, please wait a moment!"

Mo Wujie suddenly approached Qinchuan and Bai Ruoxi, calling out to them.

"Brother, how have you been?"

Bai Ruoxi nodded gracefully.

"Miss Bai, it's been a while since we parted in Cloud Mist Realm. Now since we have met again, why not enjoy a drink together!" Mo Wujie seemed quite delighted to see Bai Ruoxi, making the invitation.

Bai Ruoxi glanced at Qinchuan, who silently nodded his head.

There were many taverns within the Black Tower, so the group headed to the nearest one.

As soon as everyone sat down, Mo Wujie stared intently at Qinchuan as if deep in thought, "I presume this gentleman must be the much talked-about Young Master Qinchuan?"

Qinchuan had not expected that even after changing his Divine Sense and appearance, he would still be recognized.

But he immediately realized that although he had altered his appearance, Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er had been with him these days, and as Li Kaitian was an elder of the Tianyuan Nation with a similarly high profile, Mo Wujie had probably deduced his identity based on their company.

Instantly, the muscles and bones of Qinchuan's face shifted, and he reverted to his original appearance.

"Young Master Qin is truly brave. Among the many cultivators just now, many had grievances with Young Master Qin and had laid a net of heaven and earth, just waiting for Young Master Qin to walk into it.

Unexpectedly, Young Master Qin still caught me by surprise by showing up so openly right before our eyes, and those fellows still have no clue!"

After saying this, Mo Wujie burst out laughing.

At that moment, the tavern server presented a bottle of superior immortal dew liquor.

With a thought from Qinchuan, the liquor in his cup flew into his mouth, and then he spoke indifferently.

"Young Master Mo kept us here presumably not just to confirm my identity, right?"

Mo Wujie let out a dry chuckle, then turned his gaze towards Bai Ruoxi.

"Junior Sister Bai, what brings you to this place? Are you also planning to head to the Yuchu Mountain Range?"

Bai Ruoxi glanced at Qinchuan; she was originally following him, intending to head to the Supreme Saint Divine Tomb in the Northern Cold Continent after their trip in Yuchu City, but now she was unsure how to explain.

"We were just passing through, not planning to enter the Yuchu Mountain Range, but after hearing what Young Master Mo said about a Divine Race tomb inside the mountain range, we thought of staying."

Qinchuan saw her hesitation and spoke for her.

"Young Master Qin, Junior Sister Bai, I advise you not to appear in the Yuchu Mountain Range on the seventh day of the seventh month," Mo Wujie suddenly became serious.

"Oh?" Qinchuan raised an eyebrow and deliberately asked, "Why is that? If there is a Divine Tomb coming to light, we naturally should enter at the first opportunity to compete for the tomb's supreme treasures."

"Could it be that the news of the Divine Tomb is false, merely a lie concocted by Young Master Mo?"

Mo Wujie shook his head: "Young Master Qin, you misunderstand, the Divine Tomb I mentioned earlier is no fiction."

"Then why do you want us not to enter the Yuchu Mountain Range?" Ji Huo'er's small eyes widened, exceedingly expressive.

"Although the Divine Tomb and the method of breaking into it are both genuine, there is one piece of information I haven't shared with them," Mo Wujie continued.

"When the Divine Tomb opens, it will absorb a vast amount of Spiritual Power and Soul Power. Hence, most of the cultivators in the mountains at that time could likely perish from the tomb's backlash!"

"What, you're sending them to their deaths!"

Bai Ruoxi, Ji Huo'er, and Ling Xian'er all exclaimed in unison.

The backlash of an Ancient Divine Tomb, absorbing copious amounts of Spiritual Power and Soul Power—who could survive such backlash?

This Mo Wujie was sending these people to their deaths with his naked ploy.

"Without their sacrifice, how would the Divine Tomb come to light?"

"Besides, these people have already been blinded by greed due to the enormous benefits; even if you go out now and tell them that opening the Divine Tomb will lead to a backlash, they would still rush in without hesitation," Mo Wujie confidently stated.

After finishing his words, he stood up and flew towards the distance, his voice carrying far and clear, "Junior Sister Bai, I have warned you: on the seventh day of the seventh month, it's best to stay honestly in Yuchu City and not enter the Yuchu Mountain Range. Whether you listen or not is all up to you."
