Chapter 486: Fake Golden Elixir Realm
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“If you insist on butting into the matters of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, you will become the common enemy of all the influences in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.” Xu Zhong spoke calmly, his meaning very clear. In the fight between Jianyou Sect and Intentionless Sect, one had better mind his own business. If not, they would become a common enemy of all in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension and the outcome would definitely not be good.
If one hailed from the other Inner worlds, meddling with the business of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension was breaking the rules. If one did not maintain one’s end of the deal, they had every right to collaborate with all the influences and other sects in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension to teach the person a lesson.
Of course, Xu Zhong was very stern but there was more fear-mongering than facts. After all, he could not prove that Mo Wen was definitely not someone from the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension either. Moreover, he was just a single person so he could not represent any other influence from the other Inner worlds.
The reason for his words was the fact that Mo Wen was still young and was probably inexperienced with the world. Hence, he wanted to try and deceive him into backing away. If Mo Wen were to “retreat”, he would not have to worry about offending the influence behind this youth. At the same time, he could go ahead with his plan to capture Chen Zi and prevent her from escaping.
“Would I give up just because you command me to? You are but a small fry.” Mo Wen laughed coldly. Xu Zhong even dared to attempt to trick him so drastically. He was just a sect elder of Jianyou Sect and he actually dared to represent the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.
“You…” Xu Zhong’s face turned pale. He had not expected Mo Wen to say something so awful. Mo Wen simply had no respect for him.
“Old man,” Mo Wen said calmly, “I will give you a suggestion as well. Go ahead and hide in your Mayor’s residence immediately. Being timid is at least better than losing your life.”
“You’re looking for death.” Xu Zhong’s expression paled and a frightening aura circulated around his body uncontrollably. The wind was fierce and had blown everything on the streets. The tiles on the roof were flying all over the place and everything was a disorderly mess.
Xu Zhong simply could not hold it in any longer. This youth was just too impulsive. He had not immediately attacked because he did not want to offend the influence behind the youth, as well as being unwilling to waste the precious time that he could spend capturing Chen Zi.
How could Mo Wen believe that he was afraid of him? Back when he had become an ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm, this youth had not even been born!
Xu Zhong flew into a rage, no longer caring about anything. He took a step and his figure appeared in front of Mo Wen. With a grab of his huge hand, an invisible palm formed with his Inner Qi immediately appeared above Mo Wen’s head, before hitting down on him violently.
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. His expression became significantly more solemn. An ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm was very strong. Purely with his ancient martial arts, he was not a match for an ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm.
The surrounding air had seemingly solidified. The air was thick and a frightening pressure had descended on their heads. Mo Wen’s body descended slowly and it was actually very difficult for him to remain flying in mid-air.
Upon seeing that, Xu Zhong had been stunned momentarily. Then, he burst into very loud laughter. “You’re not actually an ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm. Very interesting! Go and die, you worthless thing.” Now he could tell that Mo Wen was not of the Golden Elixir realm. Although his Cultivation of Inner Qi was very close to that of the Golden Elixir realm, it was definitely not. One’s Cultivation could not be made up just through one’s Inner Qi. With a true blue ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm like him, the gap between them was not small at all.
In the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, there was a type of ancient martial art practitioners called the fake Golden Elixir realm. Their Cultivation was usually far better than an ancient martial art practitioner with the Embryonic Breathing realm. However, it did not surpass the Golden Elixir realm. Only the Inner Qi could barely be on par with that of an ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm.
However, no matter what, the Cultivation was still insufficient. Five fake Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners would not be able to defeat a single true ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm.
Now that Xu Zhong knew that Mo Wen was not of the Golden Elixir realm, he was determined to kill the youth. The Inner Qi within him surged insanely and the strong invisible palm solidified significantly more. It was now like a huge mountain fiercely pressing down on them.
Mo Wen furrowed his brows slightly. The gravity in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension was ten times stronger than that in the main space. That had actually created a lot of trouble for him. Currently, his Cultivation could not be compared to that of the Golden Elixir realm, as he was only equivalent to a fake Golden Elixir realm.
Not only did the Golden Elixir realm have an advantage in terms of Cultivation, there was also a qualitative difference in their bodies. The difference was that their bodies were stronger than the ordinary ones and there was a weightless quality to them. Hence, gravity would not affect them too much. Ancient martial art practitioners with the Golden Elixir realm could easily float in mid-air in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. The moment a battle occurred, this advantage would surface immediately.
Mo Wen let out a light humph. There was definitely no benefit for him to battle an ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm in mid-air. He would rather sink down and allow the pressure to push him back onto the ground.
Seeing that Mo Wen was unable to handle the force, Xu Zhong returned to the ground and immediately laughed coldly. “Someone of the younger generation actually dares to come forth so crazily at an old senior. It’s time for you to kneel and beg for forgiveness.”
He was now even more certain that Mo Wen was simply all talk and no action. Although he appeared great on the surface, he was actually useless in reality. He was simply far from being comparable to an ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm. Taking advantage of the current situation, Xu Zhong would not let go of such an opportunity. If not, once Mo Wen escaped, it would only mean trouble.
As Mo Wen’s figure sunk to the ground, he used the counter-force from the ground as he punched out a fist. A fierce aura was released and the Cries of Tiger and Dragon went on continuously. The Dragon Tiger Overlord Fist had made its grand presence felt once again.
A huge fist shot into the air and a huge tiger faintly made an appearance above, entwined with the figure of a dragon. In the blink of an eye, the huge fist collided with Xu Zhong’s invisible palm.
With a loud roar, the fist that was flying upwards shattered immediately. Meanwhile, that huge palm quaked and a whole half of its energy was dissipated. It started to become fainter and fainter.
Mo Wen flew into the sky once again. An eye-piercing golden ray engulfed his entire body. Immediately, his skin turned golden and he looked just like a Golden Body Luohan.
The golden figure was exceptionally ferocious and he used his power to collide with the huge palm that had already lost half of its strength. The golden ray flashed and Mo Wen appeared in the air once again. However, he was not aiming at Xu Zhong, aiming instead towards the outside of the city. With a flash of golden light, he appeared outside of the city gates.
Xu Zhong’s face grew dark as he looked coldly at the golden ray in the distance. “After fooling around for so long, you’ve finally thought of escaping. It’s too late!” With a flash of his body, he began to give chase.
Thinking about the fact that he had just been bluffed by a fake Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner, he felt anger well up within him. He couldn’t bear the thought that he had lost face because of this youth. If he allowed Mo Wen to escape once again, he was afraid that he would become an utter joke.
Mo Wen had already appeared outside the city gates. Although he moved with surprising speed, the speed of Xu Zhong who was of the Golden Elixir realm was even more surprising. Just as Mo Wen’s front leg had stepped out of the city gates, Xu Zhong’s back leg had already sprung off to give chase.
Mo Wen glanced over at Xu Zhong and his lips curled up slightly. With a flick of his finger, the black straw cape in the Medicine Spiritual Ring immediately flew out and covered over his body. It had caused Mo Wen’s figure to look just like a blob of black fog. One could not tell if it was real or fake so it seemed as though there was actually no body.
The black fog flickered slightly and immediately extended tens of meters. The speed was astonishing and had increased by three times from before.
“Eh? Magical treasure! You actually have a magical treasure with you?” Xu Zhong’s eyelids twitched and his eyes were filled entirely with surprise. This youth actually had a magical treasure in his possession. Moreover, it was a rare magical treasure that could increase one’s speed.
If it were in the main space, very few ancient martial art practitioners would not know what a magical treasure was. However, things were different in the Inner world. Essentially all the ancient martial art sects that were closely related to Huatian Palace knew many things that ancient martial art practitioners from the main space did not know about. At the same time, they also knew about the existence of Immortal Cultivators. Moreover, the final goal of every ancient martial art practitioner was to become an Immortal Cultivator.
In the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, there were some ancient and stronger sects whose magical treasures were all gifts from Huatian Palace or things that they had traded other items for. In the Inner world, once there were ancient martial art sects that had made a great contribution, Huatian Palace would definitely reward them with significant amounts of treasured items. The magical treasures were amongst these gifted treasured items.
However, the sects that were able to own magical treasures were basically all the larger sects in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. In the Jianyou Sect, there were no magical treasures.
To any ancient martial art practitioner, any random magical treasure was an authentic and precious treasure. Yet, there was actually such a magical treasure in the possession of a mere youth!
An expression of greed was evident now on Xu Zhong’s face. He began to shudder. If he could steal the magical treasure, his abilities would improve enormously. In fact, he would even be able to overthrow the sect leader of Jianyou Sect and take the position of sect leader for himself.
“Lad, where are you running off to?” Xu Zhong’s eyes were red and he looked like a desperate man. He gave chase to Mo Wen crazily. He had already forgotten entirely about Chen Zi. In his eyes, there was only Mo Wen, as well as his magical treasure, left.
“Old man, who told you that I’m running away? I’m just getting a change of environment so as to prevent harming the innocent.” Mo Wen’s figure flashed and he ended up beneath a huge towering tree. He was very calm and did not display the slightest intention of escaping.
“Lad, don’t you think very highly of yourself? I actually want to see if you will be able to kill me.” Xu Zhong laughed darkly, his gaze fixed on Mo Wen. Internally, he let out a deep sigh of relief. Thanks to the magical treasure, Mo Wen’s speed was already faster than his. If he wanted to escape, Xu Zhong may not necessarily be able to catch up. However, he had not expected that this lad would actually stay put. It was as though he was prepared to battle him. He was simply too foolish. For Xu Zhong, it didn’t seem as though things could be any better. To prevent Mo Wen from escaping once again, he had even started to try and provoke him.
“Foolish old man, don’t tell me that you are after this magical treasure?” Mo Wen burst into laughter. How could he not tell what Xu Zhong’s intention was? That greedy gaze was all too obvious. It was also to be expected. Since the ancient martial art practitioners in the Inner world knew about Immortal Cultivators, they naturally would know about all the treasures in Immortal Cultivation.
“Humph, lad, if you hand over the magical treasure, I can still spare your life. Does a youth like you who doesn’t even have the Golden Elixir realm not know about the saying that there is no fault in an ordinary man, but there is a fault in an ordinary man’s treasure? Keeping that thing with you is simply like a token of misfortune. It can cause your death at any time.” Xu Zhong spoke coldly, although he wore an expression designed to give the impression he was acting in the best interests of Mo Wen.
“Old man, do you think everyone is as foolish as you?” Mo Wen asked, a little mockingly. “The magical treasure is a magical treasure in my hands, and it will also be a magical treasure in yours. Do you think you would be able to protect the magical treasure better just because of your higher Cultivation?” Did this old man see him as a three-year-old child? If he handed over the robe to him, he was afraid that this old man would immediately formulate a plan for killing him.
