Chapter 738: Return To the Intentionless City
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mo Wen placed his hand on the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear, and an aura that seemed as though it would destroy the heavens and the earth emanated from it. He immediately realized that he still could not use this Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear.
With his current cultivation, he definitely could not activate such a valuable treasure yet. Perhaps when he had Primordial Soul Realm cultivation he could somehow manage to use such a treasure. Mo Wen sighed. Spiritual treasures were different from profound level weapons. No matter how many spiritual stones he had, he would still be unlikely to be able to activate a spiritual treasure.
Based on their power, profound level weapons and spiritual treasures were on two different levels. Even a superb-grade profound level weapon was a world apart from a spiritual treasure.
Lightning flashed. The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear was extremely powerful. It became a small snake, curling around Mo Wen’s wrist. When its silver light retracted, a silver Heavenly Serpent Bracelet appeared on his wrist.
Mo Wen checked his medicine spiritual ring. The treasures related to the Fighting Spirit Tower had all disappeared, but none of his own treasures were missing, including the Black Gold Puppet. All the treasures that had been sealed were right now all unsealed.
An ethereal voice sounded. It was the Tower Spirit. “Congratulations to you, successor of the Star Emperor. You have made it through the Fighting Spirit Tower’s trial. The best items of the Fighting Spirit Tower have all been given to you. I hope you can inherit the Star Emperor’s will. Go forward and overcome all obstacles. Pave your own path.”
“What relation is there between the Fighting Spirit Tower and the Star Emperor? Who are you?” Mo Wen raised his eyebrows slightly. Actually, he had long guessed that the Fighting Spirit Tower was highly likely to have been built by the Star Emperor or people related to him.
“When you truly receive the Star Emperor’s inheritance, you will know everything. Right now, you only need to work hard on your cultivation. One day, you will know who you are and what your responsibilities will be.”
A beam of white light shone from the darkness, enveloping Mo Wen’s body. The next moment, Mo Wen’s entire person completely disappeared from the dark space.
The dark space fell completely silent. Eventually, a faint voice sounded. “The Star Emperor’s successor has finally appeared. I can feel the will of the Martial Arts God from him. I wonder whether he will succeed in the end. Unfortunately, I can’t hold on much longer. I can’t wait for another successor to appear. I could only plant the Thunder God’s spiritual roots that the Thunder Emperor left in the Fighting Spirit Tower in his body, and give him the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance treasure, the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear. Right now, I am very curious. Will he inherit the mantle of the Star Emperor or the mantle of the Thunder Emperor?”
The voice became more and more distant and finally receded completely.
The sky was dark. When Mo Wen finally opened his eyes, the sunset entered them. His mind wavered as he climbed up in a daze. “Huh?” Mo Wen glanced at his surroundings and discovered that he had already left the dark space and was now on top of a flat peak. He was on the Cropped Top Mountain outside of the Tan Zi Beast Lair.
Right now, the Cropped Top Mountain was quiet, no longer as lively as it had been before. All the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension’s ancient martial art practitioner sects had left. The treasure hunting activities of the Tan Zi Beast Lair must have ended.
At his feet lay a black and white dragon egg. Its surface still flickered with ancient runes. Mo Wen picked up the huge dragon egg and carefully examined it. He discovered that the life aura inside it was in deep slumber and was undergoing some changes. It was not about to hatch. Mo Wen thought for a moment and placed the black and white dragon egg into the medicine spiritual ring.
“After entering the Fighting Spirit Tower, I had no way of accurately telling the time. I wonder how much time has passed.” Mo Wen touched his chin. There was still quite a lot of evidence of human activity on top of the mountain. Not much time must have passed.
He found a hidden spot and sat down cross-legged as he checked his body’s condition. He had not had the chance to do so in the dark space before he was teleported to the mountain top. His mind had just dived deep into his body when Mo Wen felt a sense of shock. A majestic Inner Qi surged in his body. In terms of Inner Qi cultivation, he was probably no weaker than a pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner.
“The intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir Realm.” A look of astonishment flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. It turned out that unknowingly he had already reached the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir Realm. He had previously only just broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm. How had he already reached the intermediate stage?
He was deep in thought. Maybe this was related to his strange encounter in the dark space. He still did not understand what had transpired.
The spiritual fire and the Dark Soul Pearl had also been completely absorbed by his body. The Inner Qi in his body actually had spirituality. The spirituality felt as though it was spiritual power, but it was not as simple as that.
Mo Wen’s consciousness withdrew from his body, and he slowly exhaled. He knew that a huge change had occurred but that shouldn’t be a bad thing. As for what had changed and what was different, he still needed to spend some time to observe in detail.
He stood up, not examining his body any further because he had just remembered something important. He had taken the Five Beasts Sect and Purple Qi Pavilion’s most valuable sect guarding treasures. The two sects would certainly not let him go. If they could not find him, they would very likely seek out the Intentionless Sect.
“Things are looking bad.” Mo Wen frowned. He had not expected that he would be stuck in the Fighting Spirit Tower for so long. Although he did not know exactly how long he was in there, it certainly was not for just one or two days. That was enough time for the strongest sects in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension to destroy the Intentionless Sect nine or ten times over.
“I must immediately return to the Intentionless Sect.” A light flashed on Mo Wen’s body and he flew up high in the sky. With a few dashes, he had reached where the edge of his vision had been a few moments ago. His speed was incredible. He was more than ten times faster than before.
“Huh?” Mo Wen discovered that he had no sense of gravity when he flew. His body seemed to be as light as a feather, floating gently in mid-air. He had never experienced such a feeling, even in the main space. Also, the gravity of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension was more than ten times greater than that of the main space.
Suspicious, Mo Wen flew up to a cliff wall and struck it. With a huge rumble, the mountain cliff crumbled like bean curd and immediately collapsed. A loud rumbling sound could be heard, and the mountain slid down.
“My body is so powerful!” Mo Wen drew a cold breath. He felt that he did not need to use much strength at all to achieve astonishing results. If he went all-out, he felt that he could use his body’s power to kill a later stage Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner with one punch.
He had been strong before, and he would have been able to rely purely on the strength of his flesh to go against a beginning stage Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner. But right now, he felt that he could successfully take on a pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner.
Mo Wen looked at his own fist, then clenched it. At this moment, he was sensing his own power. He would not necessarily lose even if he encountered an ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster.
With a flash of gold, Mo Wen’s silhouette disappeared from in front of the mountain cliff and shot at high speed in the direction of Intentionless City.
Even ten Flaming Dragon Colts could not compare with his current speed. He flew over mountains and valleys, passing over human ancient martial art practitioner cities. He did not stop by any of the human ancient martial art practitioner cities, heading straight for Intentionless City. In just an hour, the city gates of Intentionless City were in sight.
“Who goes there?” A loud shout sounded from the walls of Intentionless City. The next moment, more than ten silhouettes appeared in the sky, standing in Mo Wen’s way.
The leader of the group was an elder dressed in blue robes. He looked at the golden silhouette flying towards them in disbelief. His eyes hid an inexplicable look of fear and astonishment.
The city’s defenders had discovered from the tracking device on the city walls that an unidentified object was shooting towards the Intentionless City at high speed. They had not expected that the unidentified object was actually a person, and that he would be traveling so fast. From the moment the tracking device had detected him, to him appearing, had happened in less time than it took for five breaths, yet the tracking device had a range of ten kilometers. Whoever his person was, he was traveling two kilometers in the time it took to take a breath! How was it possible?
What sort of ancient martial art practitioner could have such speed? If the city defenders did not have the tracking device, then most likely this golden silhouette would have been able to waltz right into Intentionless City undetected.
The golden silhouette slowed down, gradually coming to a stop before the city gates. The elder dressed in blue breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, this person had not forcefully infiltrated the city. Otherwise, he really would not have been able to stop him.
The golden light receded and a tall and slender youth stood in the air. He looked coldly at the row of human ancient martial art practitioners before him.
“Who are you? What business do you have coming to Intentionless City?”
When the elder in blue robes saw that the person behind the golden silhouette was so young, he was also shocked. Since when did the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension have such a youth strong practitioner? It was practically impossible. Although this person was very young, ridiculously young, the elder in blue robes still immediately saluted with his fists and very politely asked his identity. No one would want to make an enemy of a person such as this newcomer unless he was there with evil intentions.
“You are not a member of the Intentionless Sect.” Mo Wen’s voice was somewhat cold. This elder in blue robes was a Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner. There were only a few Golden Elixir Realm elders in the Intentionless City. It was impossible for Mo Wen to not recognize him. He could also tell from these people’s attire that they were not members of the Intentionless Sect.
“I am Yang Xingyuan, a member of Medical Sect. As to who you are, sir…” Yang Xingyuan gave Mo Wen a strange glance. Right now, in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, everyone must know about what had happened to Intentionless Sect. This youth had actually asked him whether he was a member of Intentionless Sect. Could it be that he was a person that had come out from the virgin forest in the deep mountains? Or maybe…
Yang Xingyuan did not manage to think beyond that when he felt a terrifying aura that was enough to cause him to tremble pounce towards him. The aura was like the cold winds of the Nine Hells. In an instant, his hands and feet were cold and his body was stiff, unable to move at all.
A long, slender hand extended and grabbed Yang Xingyuan’s collar.
