Chapter 511 - 518: It’s Senior Mo Yang!!

The Chaos Qi and the Divine Thunder Seed, however, were rather haughty and maintained their positions.

Song Wanning, observing this scene within herself, suddenly smiled.

She couldn’t absorb the surrounding Immortal Qi, but through food, she could absorb it in small amounts...

As long as she accumulated it slowly, it would surely have an effect on her. For starters, her physical strength would increase...

At this thought, she carefully took another bite, then spent time sorting and placating the Immortal Qi, feeding it into her Dantian bit by bit.

’Now, the disc in my Dantian has gathered six types of substances. If this keeps up, who knows what my Dantian will turn into?’

...

"Please, don’t kill me!!"

"I really didn’t kill him... Let me go!"

"Senior, I’m begging you..."

A voice reached Song Wanning’s ears. She was in the middle of hunting a demon beast and decided to leave upon noticing the disturbance.

But the two were too fast. In the blink of an eye, they were nearly upon her.

The man fleeing for his life at the front spotted Song Wanning. A glint appeared in his eyes as he suddenly reached out to grab her.

Song Wanning’s gaze hardened, and she immediately brought out her Immortal Furnace to shield herself.

The man had appeared too quickly, so fast that she had almost no time to react.

"WHOOSH—"

A powerful suction pulled at her. The Immortal Furnace, with her right behind it, was pulled in and then shoved backward.

The power was like the sea, making Song Wanning feel her own insignificance for the first time.

She was like a lone skiff on a boundless ocean, where the slightest breeze could capsize her.

A figure shot forward in pursuit. With a gentle press of a hand through the air, the still-reeling Song Wanning descended steadily to the ground.

She looked up to see a figure in black raising a Longsword and slashing viciously at the fleeing man.

In that instant, the world itself seemed to change color. The surrounding trees snapped in unison as countless motes of dust flew into the air, spiraling past but leaving her untouched.

"AHH—"

A bloodcurdling scream rang out as the figure ahead plummeted from the sky.

"Don’t kill me... I beg you..."

"I was wrong, I didn’t mean to kill him... AHH—"

Another scream, and then the figure went still.

’So even the legendary, all-powerful Immortals are just like the Cultivators of the Lower World. Their lives can be taken just as easily.’

’But that wasn’t what was most important. What was important was the man who wielded the sword...’

"Senior Mo Yang?"

Song Wanning stared in a daze. Gazing at Mo Yang’s boyish face, she couldn’t help but recall the cold, mature face of the Mo Yang Immortal Monarch from her inherited memories.

’It’s clearly the same face, but they seem like two different people.’

This Mo Yang looked far more green, yet he was already walking the Heartless Path.

Mo Yang, who was cleaning up the aftermath, glanced back indifferently, his eyes suddenly locking onto Song Wanning.

A cold glint flashed through his desolate eyes. After confirming that he didn’t recognize her, he withdrew his gaze.

After a brief cleanup of the scene, he flew off without giving Song Wanning so much as a second glance.

Mo Yang’s arrival and departure were swift, leaving Song Wanning thrilled in his wake.

’I was actually lucky enough to meet the real Senior Mo Yang! Does this mean I might also meet Daoqing, Feng Jiuxiao, and Wu Qingyi?’

’These seniors from the Immortal Realm have all helped me so much. If not for those inherited memories, I never would have been able to progress so quickly.’

A smile appeared in Song Wanning’s eyes.

"It’s such a strange feeling, being the only one who remembers them..."

’Especially when they’re all so young...’

Song Wanning found the time-space fragment increasingly marvelous, and a sense of anticipation began to grow in her heart.

’If I get to know these seniors all over again in this time-space fragment, will I have a place in their memories?’

She couldn’t be sure.

Yet, this sparked a bolder idea, along with a hint of mischievous cunning.

Picking up the demon beast she had hunted, Song Wanning returned to her camp and began to absorb Immortal Qi as usual.

Her plan would have to be carried out slowly.

...

「In the city, at the No Harm Inn.」

Mo Yang, carrying a bloody, severed head, placed it right on the table.

"Sheesh, Senior Brother Mo Yang, you killed him already?"

"Now Junior Brother Liu is finally avenged. It’s just a shame..."

Several disciples shook their heads, their faces full of regret.

They were all disciples of the Wuji Sect and had come to explore the Wuyang Sea, but one of their junior brothers had been tragically killed.

When Senior Brother Mo Yang heard the news, he immediately went after the killer. Not even half a day has passed, and he’s already returned with the man’s head.

’He really is the number one of the Wuji Sect’s younger generation. His power is terrifying.’

"Junior Mo, are you hurt? If you are, I have Elixir Pills here."

With a worried expression, Daoqing took out a bottle and placed it before Mo Yang.

Just then, Mu Zixu and Wang Yang came downstairs. Seeing the scene, Mu Zixu immediately pulled out an Elixir Bottle and placed it in front of Mo Yang as well.

"Junior Brother Mo Yang, here’s a Seventh-grade Immortal Pill I just finished refining. It will completely heal your injuries."

With that said, he shot Daoqing a mocking glance.

"Hmph! Talk as if you’re the only one who can refine a Seventh-grade Immortal Pill. Mine is also a Seventh-grade Immortal Pill, and a top-grade one at that!!!"

Daoqing snorted, clashing with Mu Zixu once again.

The surrounding disciples weren’t surprised by this; they were long accustomed to the two of them being at odds. It would be more unusual if a day passed without them bickering.

Wang Yang didn’t join in. He sat down to the side, his gaze sweeping over the severed head, a slight tremor running through him.

’Mo Yang’s rate of advancement is astounding. He ascended to the Immortal Realm less than a century ago, and he’s already about to catch up to us.’

’We can still call him "Junior Brother" for now, but I’m afraid it won’t be long before we have to start using honorifics...’

"Not necessary."

Mo Yang, his head aching from his two senior brothers’ bickering, took neither bottle of Elixir Pills and went straight upstairs.

Only then did Daoqing and Mu Zixu desist.

Mu Zixu’s expression, however, turned sour. He was used to being respected by all. Even in the Immortal Realm, his outstanding talent for alchemy earned him high regard within the Sect.

Everyone who met him was polite, even seniors with higher cultivation levels. None were as arrogant as Mo Yang.

’I offered him Elixir Pills out of kindness, and he had the nerve to look down on them!!’

’And that Daoqing, he’s always on my case. It’s infuriating.’

Mu Zixu was deeply displeased. Fuming, he turned and stormed upstairs.

Wang Yang shook his head at the sight and gave Daoqing a helpless smile.

Daoqing, for his part, just shrugged with an air of indifference and sauntered out of the inn.

...

"Haaaah~"

Song Wanning let out a long sigh and slowly opened her eyes.

A foul stench assaulted her nostrils. She looked down to see that her body had expelled a large amount of impurities, which now clung to her skin in a sticky film.

’This reminds me of when I first started cultivating.’

She scrambled to her feet and used more than a dozen Clear Water Talismans on herself before she was finally spotless.

Her skin was now as smooth and delicate as a peeled egg, yet her frame didn’t appear frail. On the contrary, it radiated with power.
