Covering the Sky: Becoming an Emperor Through Sole Cultivation of the Sea of ​​Wheels

Chapter 154 Who Wants to Harm Me?

Is Mo Wuji a lucky rogue cultivator or the heir of a reclusive family?

Those who are interested tend to favor the second possibility.

After all, the purpose of the materials Mo Wuji collected was unlikely to be hidden from some people.

Similar to the Summoning Altar, those forces possessing ultimate imperial weapons would certainly have such a secret artifact, and the required materials are also largely the same.

Of course, the Hu family is not qualified to know such secrets.

So the Hu family could still hope to subdue Mo Wuji, but they lacked power; Mo Wuji didn't seem to lack money; in the end, only his beauty remained.

However, although it's impossible for them to take him as a dog, the various holy lands actually have the intention to befriend Mo Wuji.

As Mo Wuji stepped into the auction house, representatives from Dao Yi Holy Land, Wan Chu Holy Land, Ziwei Sect, and the Phoenix Clan of the Wind Clan appeared...

Everyone, get moving!

Even putting everything else aside, the news about the elixir alone was enough to tempt these people.

Currently, the cultivation levels of the holy sons and daughters of the major holy lands are basically at the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

If they could obtain a few more elixirs from Mo Wuji, they might be able to dominate the younger generation and ensure the sect's prosperity for thousands of years to come.

But... what kind of rotten fish and shrimp are these people in Mo Wuji's eyes?

If it were Yan Ruyu instead, there might be room for negotiation, but Yan Ruyu doesn't seem interested in this elixir.

By the way, Yan Ruyu currently possesses a Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart, a rare treasure indeed far more precious than the Golden Core refined by Mo Wuji.

Why did Yan Ruyu go to such lengths to participate in this auction?

Mo Wuji pretended not to see the holy sons and daughters, grabbed Hu Yaoyao's shoulder, activated the Xingzi Secret Technique, and mysterious Dao patterns appeared under his feet. In an instant, he stepped into his own VIP room.

Mo Wuji's move greatly surprised all the geniuses present.

What kind of method is this? It's unheard of.

Even Yan Ruyu, who had been calmly sipping her tea, unusually put down her white jade teacup and stared in the direction Mo Wuji had left, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a strange light.

"This Mo Wuji... is very interesting!"

Inside Mo Wuji's private room, Hu Yaoyao patted her trembling, high-rising chest and blurted out, "Brother Mo, you're so fast!"

This drew a sidelong glance from Mo Wuji.

Once all the guests had arrived, the auction began quickly. The Hu family's influence was truly remarkable; the items they collected were quite rare even for the holy sons and daughters of the various holy lands.

Saint Lord-level weapons, damaged King-level weapons... Mo Wuji also made a move and bought a small medicinal king that had grown for fifty or sixty thousand years. The source and treasures he used were contributed by those half-step great power who had tried to ambush him a few days ago.

The auction was fast-paced, and soon it was time for the grand finale: the second-stage golden pill that Mo Wuji had refined.

Auctioneer: "Ladies and gentlemen, I will not go into too much detail about the effects of this pill. I will only say one thing: the seller is willing to guarantee that any cultivator below the second level of the Sendai realm will be able to break through at least one minor realm after taking this pill."

"However, the seller also has requirements: this pill can only be auctioned using materials such as dragon crystal, blood dragon wood, and divine phoenix stone."

""

The moment the conditions were announced, the auction hall erupted in discussion, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

But Mo Wuji already sensed something was wrong. After all, the auction conditions had already been announced, and what he heard most often was, "What do we do? These materials are simply not available on the market!"

"Couldn't the Hu family contact the seller and ask them to relax the terms a bit?"

...

As expected, the auction fell silent the moment it began. No matter how the auctioneer tried to entice or boast on stage, the huge Hu family auction house remained a stagnant pool.

The auctioneer was sweating profusely. After so many years in the business, was he going to ruin his skills today?

Now, what Mo Wuji wanted to verify is quite obvious.

The various rare materials needed to forge the Summoning Altar have likely been monopolized by major powers.

It makes sense. Every imperial weapon, or even a sacred weapon, is the anchor of a sacred land, the foundation of its stability. Materials that can influence that foundation naturally cannot be circulated freely.

These powerful forces should also have similar needs, to guard against the possibility of losing their divine weapons and to have ways to retrieve them.

I'm offering my sincere terms, even willing to trade the Taiyin Ice Soul and the Second-Rank Golden Core with you. You still won't trade, right?

They're forcing me to use force!

Alright, after this auction ends, I'll go and find out which holy site is the best to target.

Don't blame me if there are heavy casualties!

Inside the Hu family auction house, the holy sons and daughters, unaware of the impending disaster, were still sneering.

Watching the lackluster auction, these holy sons and daughters felt incredibly pleased.

Hmph, kid, weren't you very arrogant before?

We won't sell you those materials. Do you think you can buy them anywhere else?

Now, you need to face reality: who should beg whom?

Just as Mo Wuji had given up on the auction, someone suddenly stepped forward and said, "Young friend Mo, may I ask if your divine pill can repair your damaged foundation?"

The speaker was an unparalleled demon king, with a tall and imposing figure, wearing a golden Taoist robe, a sorrowful face, and a full head of long golden hair that moved without wind. His eyes were like two sharp swords, seemingly merging with the heavens and earth.

"It's the Golden-Winged Roc King!"

"Did he ask for this divine elixir to heal the Golden-Winged Roc King's injuries?"

"That's right. In the previous battle between the Golden-Winged Roc King and Ye Fan on the Feng Family's Divine Island, he was beaten down to only his head. His Heavenly Roc Body was almost completely severed. Only a peerless medicine can replenish his foundation."

When that battle was mentioned, Fenghuang's expression turned extremely ugly. She had always favored the Golden-Winged Roc King and didn't think much of Ye Fan.

But when the two fought fairly, the result was a resounding slap in her face.

"But even if the Golden-Winged Roc King has roamed the Eastern Wilderness for over a thousand years, it's unlikely he could produce the materials Mo Wuji is demanding, is it?"

Mo Wuji thought so too. He said, "If Old Peng King wants to use this pill to treat your grandson, I can guarantee there will be no problem. As far as I know, that young Peng King is only at the Fourth Extreme Realm. After his physical body is replenished, the remaining medicinal power may enable him to break through again."

Beyond the Fourth Extreme Realm, external objects are nominally useless for cultivation; it mainly relies on the cultivator's own enlightenment.

However, the Dragon Transformation Realm possesses Dragon Marrow, and the Eternal Starfield even has renewable resources like Evolution Fluid, which can forcibly elevate the cultivation level of even cultivators at the third level of the Sendai Realm.

"As I promised before, if this golden pill cannot do these things, I can refine another batch of pills until this Little Peng King is cured. But, Senior Peng King, can you provide the divine materials I need?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the auction hall was shocked. Could it be that the divine pill being auctioned was also refined by Mo Wuji himself?

That would be terrifying!

Our attitude toward this person may need to be reconsidered.

Hu Yaoyao's eyes were sparkling as she looked at Mo Wuji.

Even Yan Ruyu, who had remained calm throughout, showed surprise. Perhaps this alchemy skill could be used to collaborate with Mo Wuji in the future.

The Golden-Winged Roc gestured to Yan Ruyu, who then took out a jade box.

"Young friend Mo, here is the dragon crystal you requested. I hope you will keep your word."

Yan Ruyu has a broad mind; the Golden-Winged Roc King's attitude towards her in the past was not bad.

However, when the Golden-Winged Roc King came to her door seeking help, considering that the Golden-Winged Roc King was a prodigy of the demon race, and for the sake of the future of the entire demon race, she still took out this treasure from the demon race's treasury.

Mo Wuji was also surprised, as he had been prepared to gain nothing.

This demon race seems to be very wealthy!

However, when he thought of the Azure Emperor Weapon in Yan Ruyu's hands, Mo Wuji's burning passion instantly cooled down.

This isn't the way to court death. I should go and cause trouble for those holy lands that don't have imperial weapons guarding them.

But with the mindset of taking a chance, Mo Wuji transmitted his voice to Yan Ruyu, saying, "Your Highness, do you have any other materials I need? We can discuss the terms!"

Yan Ruyu's clear and melodious voice reached Mo Wuji's heart directly: "Fellow Daoist Mo is probably going to be disappointed. Even with the combined strength of the entire Eastern Wilderness demon race, we only managed to gather that one set of materials. Even I cannot easily use the relevant treasures, however..."

Yan Ruyu smiled, and in an instant, the whole world seemed to brighten a bit. "If Fellow Daoist Mo is willing to join my demon race, everything is negotiable."

"I appreciate the princess's kindness, but I am used to a life of leisure and do not want to be tied down."

Mo Wuji refused decisively. This Yan Ruyu has quite an appetite; she wants to buy me with just a few materials.

Moreover, once Mo Wuji joined the demon race, wouldn't the weapon he summoned also belong to the demon race?

Anyone with eyes can see that it is at least a sacred weapon.

Unless Yan Ruyu is willing to get involved herself, then it's more or less the case.

The auction ended with many people failing to achieve their goals, leaving the event on a so-called unpleasant note.

Just as Mo Wuji was about to leave, Hu Delu, the head of the Hu family, arrived and presented him with a set of divine materials, all of which Mo Wuji needed to forge the Summoning God Platform.

These materials are monopolized by the major holy lands, so the Hu family must have gone to great lengths to acquire them.

"Senior Hu, I appreciate your kind gesture and will repay you in the future!"

Amidst the reluctant gaze of the beautiful young woman Hu Yaoyao, Mo Wuji transformed into a rainbow and departed.

As the premier city in the central region of the Eastern Wilderness, Dark City naturally has no shortage of intelligence organizations that sell information.

Mo Wuji sought out the most reputable intelligence organization and paid a hefty sum to gather information on the major holy lands.

"Oh? The Myriad Beginnings Holy Land, its main cultivation is actually the Dao of Chaos. Not only does it possess legendary holy weapons and an ancestor sealed in divine source liquid, but it may also have a perfectly intact holy-level killing formation. This is a tough nut to crack!"

"The Ziwei Sect is incredibly wealthy, and its treasury likely contains all the materials I need. Their divine arts can evolve into the Ziwei Emperor Star, and their origins are related to the Ziwei Star Region. This is a fellow townsman. Let's see if there are any other options."

"Wait a minute, in a valley thousands of miles away from the Dark City, there's a treasure-hunting master? He's said to be able to find any treasure in this world!"

"Did you recently sell a few of the divine materials I desperately need?"

"Who's 'GG'ing? Or is someone trying to sabotage me again?"

This is too much of a coincidence; it's sinister!

The next day, under a clear blue sky, Mo Wuji, after much deliberation, decided to head to the valley where the treasure-hunting master was located.

After all, it's far too dangerous to take on an entire holy land with just one holy weapon.

According to the collected information, each of the holy sites in the central region is filled with experts, and the slightest mistake could lead to annihilation.

In the original story, Ye Fan, through a series of coincidences, achieved a near-defeat by employing defensive counter-attacks and using the opponent's strength against them...

The magnificent feat of the divine city.

Mo Wuji is now plotting to seize the treasure vault of a sacred land. Such a treasure vault can only exist in the core area, and even the Myriad Transformations Mask might not be able to sneak in. A head-on confrontation would greatly increase the danger.

Ten thousand miles is not a long distance for cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, let alone for Mo Wuji, who has mastered the Xingzi Secret.

Mo Wuji descended from the clouds and found that the valley at the address was shrouded in mist, with clear waters and green mountains, and exotic flowers and herbs everywhere. However, there were only two or three thatched huts, which exuded a mysterious atmosphere and had the demeanor of a hermit.

Mo Wuji opened his Dharma Eyes and looked around, but the entire valley was shrouded in a very sophisticated array, and even with Mo Wuji's cultivation level, he couldn't see anything.

When visiting someone's home, one must be courteous. Mo Wuji landed outside the valley and said loudly, "Senior, I am Mo Wuji, and I wish to offer ten thousand catties of source to request an audience with you."

Hmm? I really didn't sense a single murderous glint.

Could it be that I'm just being paranoid? I even prepared a big gift for those with ill intentions.

Just as Mo Wuji was wondering, someone actually responded from inside the thatched hut, which seemed to indicate that it wasn't a trap aimed at him.

From inside the thatched hut, someone cleared their throat and then said in an affected tone, "Hmph, a mere ten thousand catties of Yuan dares to request an audience with this...this lord?"

"Without a sacred weapon as a gift, don't even think about getting me to take action. Of course, if you, junior, have a mask or similar weapon, then I can lower the requirements a bit. I especially like such weapons."

Hmm? This master in the valley seems to know me quite well? Mo Wuji became wary again.

But just as Mo Wuji was filled with doubt and uncertainty, the door of the thatched hut was suddenly pushed open. "Oh my, isn't this Brother Mo?"

Please come in, please come in.

"You damn dog, what were you doing playing tricks on us? Brother Mo is a sworn brother to us!"

The person who emerged from the thatched hut was none other than Ye Fan. He looked down on the Black Emperor and spoke with righteous indignation.

Then Hei Huang, Li Heishui, and Xiao Yinnan also filed out of the thatched hut.

Black King glared at Ye Fan with his dog eyes, "Woof, brat, you've ruined my plans!"

"I was about to swindle a sacred weapon and even that mask forged from Dao Tribulation Gold from that fool, and now you're paying me back!"

"Pah, you damn dog, you have the nerve to bring up something you haven't even seen a glimpse of?"

Ye Fan really wanted to go home.

After leaving the Sacred Cliff, Ye Fan hastily sorted out his gains and survived the first tribulation. He simply couldn't suppress the urge to ask Mo Wuji how to traverse the starry sky.

After all, Mo Wuji was a true visitor from outer space, unlike him and his classmates who came to Beidou by accident.

The way home may be just one step away.

But if Ye Fan took the initiative to ask, he really wasn't sure Mo Wuji would be willing to tell him everything.

Just then, Ye Fan learned that Mo Wuji was actively collecting some materials, so he set up this scheme. Using his methods as a Source Master, he created the persona of a treasure-hunting master, making Mo Wuji come to him and ask for his help.

Because Ye Fan was still wanted by the two major assassin dynasties, when others approached him, this treasure-hunting master, he had to use the "Heaven and Earth Changing Technique" to fool them.

Fortunately, hard work pays off.

Ye Fan finally caught Mo Wuji in the trap, and incidentally accomplished the feat of drawing hatred from the Black Emperor and taking all the benefits for himself.

But just as Ye Fan was feeling smug, Xiao Yinnan suddenly said something surprising.

She pointed at Mo Wuji and said, "Isn't this the older brother from before!"

Ye Fan and his companions were terrified, as if facing a formidable enemy. Ye Fan was a figure listed on both the Hell and Human World's most wanted kill lists, and given the methods of these two powerful assassin dynasties—

"Who exactly are you?"
