Mo Wuji did not hesitate for long before he decided to go by the Lost Sky Ruins.
The Lost Sky Ruins were indeed dangerous, but would it be less dangerous to go by the Sky Sea or Five Elements Desolate Domain? With his cultivation level, it would be difficult to go to Zhen Mo Continent by any path.
The reason why he chose the path of the Lost Sky Ruins was that this was the shortest route. If he entered Zhen Mo Continent from the Sky Sea, with his current cultivation level and speed, and without getting lost, it would take him an estimated three to five years time. If it were from the Five Elements Desolate Domain, the travel duration would greatly decrease, but it would still take about a year.
However, based on the markings on the map, if he dared to pass through the Lost Sky Ruins, he would reach Zhen Mo Continent in half a year.
Here you go!
