568: How thick-skinned do you have to be to even think about that?

At this critical moment, if Mo Qi's strength could recover to its Peak, it would undoubtedly become a huge safeguard during the Contest of the Imperial Son, capable of resolving many unstable factors.

At least, characters like the Three Saints of the Golden Crow wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble.

"We've known each other for so long, and all this time, I always thought I was someone you should look up to, after all, I've lived so many more years."

"However, facts prove that even I can make mistakes; your appearance has truly broken many conventions."

"Now, you are someone I must look up to."

Mo Qi's tone was very relaxed, perhaps because his Cultivation had recovered, which was cause for joy.

Or perhaps it was truly because Shen Tianxing held unimaginable importance to him; now, their conversation was truly between equals, and age was no longer an obstacle.

For Cultivators, age is intrinsically the most telling external factor, but sometimes, age is also precisely the factor that best reflects a person's value.

Shen Tianxing, at the age of eighteen, achieved what Mo Qi accomplished in tens of thousands of years; doesn't this demonstrate his value?

"Alright, let's not talk about these things anymore."

"What do you think of this Contest of the Imperial Son? When will the people from the Inner Domain appear?"

Shen Tianxing was no longer completely ignorant; he now had a general understanding of the Inner Domain, knowing that Cultivators from the Inner Domain arrived in the Outer Domain through a special teleportation array, and this teleportation array was located in the Meteorite Sect.

Therefore, knowing when these people would arrive was the most important thing.

If they appeared early, it might have a certain impact on his plans.

Upon hearing this, Mo Qi's expression became slightly stern, and a cold light flickered in his eyes.

Back then, he had fallen into a trap and was schemed against.

Those people from the Dugu Family appeared at a very inopportune time, just before he was about to step into the teleportation array, directly preventing him from entering the Inner Domain.

Originally, if it had only been Dugu Fei, he wouldn't have been so passive.

"People from the Inner Domain could appear at any time."

"According to what I know, the Meteorite Sect's teleportation array leading to the Inner Domain should belong to the Dugu Family of the Forbidden Sea. I've secretly observed it over the years, and only they have been able to come to the Outer Domain."

"No one from other Sects has ever been able to come here."

"And the Dugu Family people never adhere to any principles; they will act when they deem it most appropriate!"

"That's how I fell into their trap back then."

Recalling the events of that year, the fluctuations in Mo Qi's heart had almost vanished.

However, he didn't want Shen Tianxing to experience such a painful lesson.

If the teleportation array that he and his wife had found back then hadn't been damaged, Mo Qi wouldn't have been so passive.

Upon hearing this, Shen Tianxing pondered carefully.

The Dugu Family was very powerful, a relatively strong force within the Inner Domain, and their ability to suppress the Forbidden Sea further demonstrated how formidable their strength truly was.

To be honest, making enemies with such an opponent was not a wise choice.

But there was nothing he could do; he couldn't avoid facing the people of the Dugu Family, as various events had already made it inevitable that he and the Dugu Family would become adversaries.

This was insurmountable, with no room for maneuver.

The Three Saints of the Golden Crow would certainly not allow him any opportunity to reconcile with the Dugu Family.

Shen Tianxing thought carefully, and suddenly, a beautiful figure flashed through his mind.

Yaochi?!

"How did Yaochi appear in the Inner Sea back then? What path did she take?"

It wasn't until now that Shen Tianxing remembered that when Yaochi, sent by the Li Clan, came to find him, she hadn't come through the Meteorite Sect!

That meant the Li Clan must have a teleportation array leading to the Outer Domain.

"Should I go ask that kid Li Tongshen?"

Shen Tianxing hesitated, but his idea was quickly dismissed by a remark from Mo Qi.

"Originally, there were many teleportation arrays connecting the Inner Domain and the Outer Domain, but many of them were destroyed in a great war."

"Except for a few that still exist within some super powerful Sects, like the ancient races such as the Li Clan and the Tuoye Clan."

"However, activating such a teleportation array requires knowledge of ancient script, and in the current Inner Domain, there are almost no people who understand ancient script, so the ancient teleportation methods have been lost."

A teleportation array that requires mastery of ancient script to activate, and only ancient races possess it.

This alone extinguished Shen Tianxing's idea.

His relationship with the Li Clan wasn't that deep yet; to borrow their methods to set up a teleportation array?

How much nerve would it take to even consider that.

Yaochi's ability to come to the Outer Domain must have come at a considerable cost to her clan; he couldn't ask Yaochi to do that for his own matters.

"In that case, let's just stay outside this city; anyway, the time is almost here."

"These days, I'll find a place to enter seclusion and see if I can make any gains."

There were still ten days until the Contest of the Imperial Son began, and it would last at least half a month!

Shen Tianxing had enough time to enter seclusion once.

During this period, he had abundant experience points; in the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, he himself only made one move, killing Venerable Feiyun and Xiao Tianliu.

But his nine incarnations and ten Yama Dharma Images had wreaked havoc, earning him rich experience points.

Enough to allow him to Break through to a higher Realm!

"Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm, I wonder if there's a chance to enter the Dao here?"

Shen Tianxing was full of anticipation, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Mo Qi didn't pay too much attention, quietly saying, "I've already sensed an old friend's aura; compared to thirty thousand years ago, he hasn't changed at all, and his strength is still very strong."

"It seems I also need to find a place to Cultivate for a few more days."

Mo Qi had been here for quite some time.

Although Dugu Fei had appeared secretly in the Outer Domain, Mo Qi eventually detected his aura.

However, Dugu Fei had not noticed his arrival.

Thirty thousand years later, Mo Qi once again learned of Dugu Fei's presence in the Outer Domain, and he clearly understood his purpose here.

His heart also grew a little heavy.

Because Dugu Fei's appearance here meant that the experts behind him would definitely take action!

If he didn't have any trump cards, whether he could leave the Outer Domain alive this time was truly uncertain.

The only variable was Shen Tianxing.

"Since Mr. Mo Qi Cultivates so diligently, I must also Cultivate well; let's meet again at the Contest of the Imperial Son!"

Shen Tianxing raised his wine glass and toasted Mo Qi.

The two of them successively downed the wine in their hands.

Mo Qi left directly, and Shen Tianxing also planned to find a place to prepare for his Breakthrough.

This vast manor was now inhabited by Shen Tianxing's group and Liu Ruqing, the Palace Master of Dianxing Academy.

Currently, everyone was Cultivating, with no one idly wandering outside.

Shen Tianxing's figure flickered, and he directly left the courtyard.
