Immortal Mortal Chapter 1222: Number One Expert: Luo

Even without the Heaven Measuring Tree Root, Heng Zuo was an expert comparable to Sages. However, against this hand imprint, he didn’t even have the time to react before he was slapped back into the hall. His domain’s Laws crumbled under this hand imprint.

Including Luo Xu and the other three Sages, all the ten people stood up and stared at the oncoming man in shock.

"Luo?" Luo Xu muttered in shock. He recognised this man. It was Luo.

Luo was already more powerful than them previously. Now, Luo seemed to have risen to a higher level. Luo Xu and the Sages were all filled with disbelief. After Mo Wuji recovered from his injuries, his abilities soared rapidly. Now, Luo’s abilities had also risen after his heavy injuries. Could they have been stagnating in power because they hadn’t suffered any heavy injuries?

"You are Luo!" Heng Zuo calmed down. The Heaven Measuring Tree Root floated above his head, clearly ready to take action at any moment.

"You fear Mo Wuji, which is why you aren’t willing to join this coalition, right?" Luo did not continue attacking Heng Zuo. Instead, he stared at Heng Zuo coldly and asked.

Although Luo didn’t make another move, Heng Zuo could still feel a sense of danger. This sense of danger was telling him that if he made a mistake in his words, he would face Luo’s full-powered attack. With his abilities, he could escape from people like Luo Xu. However, he was sure that he wouldn’t be able to escape from Luo.

As he thought of this, Heng Zuo clasped his fists and said, "Dao Friend Luo, I do indeed have apprehensions towards Mo Wuji. This is because I am very clear about his strength. However, things are different now. If Dao Friend Luo also joins this coalition, then I, Heng Zuo, naturally wouldn’t need to cower."

These were Heng Zuo’s sincere thoughts. With that single hand imprint from Luo, Heng Zuo knew that Luo was definitely stronger than Mo Wuji. If Luo acted, in addition to the four Sages, a Sage-level expert like him and the other Dao Monarchs and God Emperors, then Mo Wuji wouldn’t have a chance to succeed.

"That’s the best." Luo swept his eyes across Heng Zuo, then he turned towards Luo Xu and co.

"Dao Friend Luo." Seeing Luo’s gaze land on them, Luo Xu and the other Sages all clasped their fists. If this was before, they might have actually surrounded Luo and attacked him. But after seeing Luo’s capabilities, Luo Xu and co. knew that they wouldn’t be able to trump over Luo even if they teamed up.

Moreover, their greatest enemy at the moment wasn’t Luo, but Mo Wuji.

"I have a way to lure Mo Wuji to a land of danger. After Mo Wuji is lured there, we will combine our forces and attack him. He would undoubtedly die," Luo said calmly.

When they heard Luo’s words, Luo Xu and the Sages all glanced at one another. Delight could be seen in their eyes. Although they were preparing to join forces against Mo Wuji, they were very clear that they could only heavily injure Mo Wuji through an ambush or a plot. The chances of actually eliminating Mo Wuji were extremely slim.

Now that Luo had joined their forces, they were set to win. And if it was as Luo had said and Mo Wuji would be lured to a land of danger, then their victory would be set in stone.

Luo seemed to have expected that Luo Xu and co. would agree with his idea. He continued indifferently, "The treasures on Mo Wuji are more than one can count. I only want all the Dao Laws on him. I don’t need anything else."

"No." Tai Luan suddenly stood up. "The most valuable things on Mo Wuji are the Dao Laws. If you take all the Dao Laws, then what about us?"

"Haha!" Luo lifted his head and started chuckling. He pointed towards Tai Luan in severe disdain and said, "I’m not looking down on you lot. But without me, all of you wouldn’t even be able to touch a single strand of Mo Wuji’s hair. Even without your help, I can also kill Mo Wuji. It’s just that having you guys on would make my plan more stable. Moreover, do you guys know where Mo Wuji is now? I also don’t know that, but I do know a method to lead him to a certain place."

The group went silent. They knew that Luo’s words were true. Without Luo, their chances of eliminating Mo Wuji were extremely slim. If Luo joined them, then things would be completely different. Additionally, they also don’t know where Mo Wuji was at the moment.

"Dao Friend Luo, you can only fuse with one Dao Law of the Universe. There’s no meaning in having more." Luo Xu said in a polite manner.

He spoke the truth. Prior to the Cataclysm, integrating with even a single Dao Law of the Universe was an immense challenge. The Limitless Domain’s four Sages each possessed one Dao Law of the Universe, yet even after countless years, none could truly fuse with it, and it was ultimately pilfered by Mo Wuji.

Now that the Cataclysm loomed, the individual who acquired a Dao Law of the Universe would be poised to advance further on the Dao.

Luo let out a cold laugh, choosing not to elaborate. In the past, he had genuinely believed that fusion with a single Dao Law of the Universe was the absolute limit. This conviction led him to integrate with the ninth Dao Law, while the remaining eight were employed to nourish his eight Sages. However, his endeavor ended in failure. Not only did he narrowly escape perishing during the previous Cataclysm, but he also forfeited all eight of his Dao Laws.

This time, after sustaining a grievous injury from Mo Wuji’s Mortal Dao, he attained a profound comprehension of a fundamental principle governing this Heaven and Earth.

Regardless of whether one was an immortal or a mortal, as long as existence was within the confines of Heaven and Earth, the Dao could be cultivated.

Consequently, after his severe wounding, he merged with another Dao Law of the Universe. With the integration of two Dao Laws, his capabilities experienced an exponential surge. His power now dwarfed his previous strength by a considerable margin.

Upon integrating with two Dao Laws, Luo experienced a significant enlightenment regarding his Dao. Should he succeed in fully fusing with all nine Dao Laws of the Universe, he would be utterly liberated from the constraints of the Sword of Fortune, transcend the Sage Stage, and ascend to an entirely new realm.

If his calculations were accurate, only a single entity in the entirety of the universe would inhabit such a realm. This preeminent individual would be the one who successfully fused with all nine Dao Laws of the Universe.

Luo declared with detachment, "These nine Dao Laws originally belonged to me. While the Dao Laws hold no further utility for me, they will find purpose under my guidance. Furthermore, do not mistakenly believe that the Dao Laws represent Mo Wuji's sole valuable possessions. The Kun Wu Sword resides with him, and if my assessment is correct, he has already obtained a complete set of the Book of Luo and resurrected the Darkwood..."

Upon hearing Luo’s pronouncements, all present, including Luo Xu, drew in sharp, sharp breaths of air.

This was due to their awareness that Mo Wuji also possessed the Tao Tie Pot and the Great Art of Destruction. Could this fellow truly be this remarkably wealthy?

Observing a flicker of covetousness cross the eyes of all the Throned Gods, including the four Sages, Luo continued, "These are not his final acquisitions. Based on the aura I detected, this individual likely possesses the Time Plate as well. With such an abundance of treasures, are they not sufficient to be distributed amongst all of you? Must you contend with me for my Dao Laws? Moreover, setting aside my Dao Laws, who else possesses the capability to breach Mo Wuji's worldly domain?"

This was attributed to Mo Wuji's infrequent utilization of the Sage Dao Talisman. Had he employed it, Luo might have sensed its presence.

Luo Xu and the other Sages exchanged glances once more. They spoke in unison, "Since that is the situation, we shall collaborate with Dao Friend Luo."

Cen Shuyin looked at Qu You with a puzzled expression. "That formidable expert looked down on us with disdain. We were merely swept in here by a casual gesture. How can this not be attributed to sheer chance?"

Qu You responded, "I possess the Primal God Lattice, which grants me an innate sense of danger. I felt that the expert didn't simply toss us in here without purpose. It seemed as though he intentionally placed us here, perhaps awaiting someone. Furthermore, I sense that this place is a one-way trap; one can only enter, never to leave. The moment you step inside, any hope of escape vanishes."

Cen Shuyin started, then immediately queried, "Sister Qu You, are you implying that the expert is setting a trap for the person who intends to rescue us?"

"That appears to be the situation," Qu You affirmed with gravity.

Cen Shuyin remained skeptical. "Sister Qu You, who would possibly come to our aid? Our cultivation has advanced so rapidly. Among our acquaintances, could any possess the ability to save us?"

"There is one person who could. If he were to learn of your predicament, he might even brave the danger and come here, risking his very life."

"Wuji..." Before Qu You could complete her sentence, Cen Shuyin uttered a name in alarm. She abruptly stood, appearing extremely agitated.
