Chapter 983: Preliminary Ancient Land
The moment that the illusionary spirit divine wings combined, a shocking transformation occurred. The jade wings cracked bit by bit, turning into specks of starlight and slowly agglomerating into a pair of lifelike wings. They seemed alive, slowly flapping and lifting colorful ribbons; the display was a sight to behold.
The illusionary spirit divine wings had no defined appearance. It was only a bunch of gorgeous rays which agglomerated into a pair of stunning and dreamlike wings.
Whoosh!
The pair of brightly colored wings flashed and dived into Mo Wen’s body. The next moment, an overwhelming amount of information surged in his mind.
After some time, Mo Wen then slowly opened his brightly lit eyes.
He finally had a more comprehensive understanding of the illusionary spirit divine wings imitation.
It turned out that the person who concocted the illusionary spirit divine wings imitation used to be a renowned Elder from the Ancient Creation Sect. He was a prodigy who not only managed to practice alchemy to the peak of perfection but was also one of the top five weapon refining masters of the Ancient Creation Sect. He had concocted more than a thousand sacred treasures.
The Elder was arrogant and ambitious. He wanted to emulate the pioneers of Ancient Creation Sect by concocting sacred treasures that could be passed down between generations. However, the sacred treasures were objects that required the Power of Creation of Heaven and Earth, so they were not so easy to concoct. Immortals often descended to the world in the early days, but even they might not necessarily have possessed sacred treasures. Rare gems like this were hard even for immortals to concoct, let alone mortals.
The Illusionary spirit divine wings was a sacred treasure concocted by the pioneers of Ancient Creation Sect, in which the concoction method existed. After requesting for the concoction method from the Sect Leader, the Elder spent his whole life studying and learning until he finally managed to concoct an imitation later on in life. Even so, the end product was not even a sacred treasure in terms of grade. It could only be considered close to the level of sacred treasure.
The illusionary spirit divine wings imitation in Mo Wen’s hands was the one that the Elder had spent his whole life to concoct, and even the latter was unsatisfied with the imitation. His goal was to concoct a sacred treasure, yet the end product was vastly different. One could easily identify numerous differences between the two.
He let out a sigh. The Elder died holding on to his regrets, while the imitation crossed over billions of years and landed on his hands by chance.
A remarkable power secret technique was hidden inside the illusionary spirit divine wings. It was called ‘illusionary spirit immortal release’, a type of remarkable power releasing technique.
“Heavenly path remarkable power.”
Mo Wen took in a breath of cold air. He knew that the secret technique in the illusionary spirit divine wings was rather complicated, but he did not expect it to be such a remarkable one.
Path remarkable power was classified into a small path, middle path, and big path. Heavenly Path remarkable power was above normal Path remarkable power.
The Illusionary spirit immortal release technique was created by the pioneers of Ancient Creation Sect, complementing the illusionary spirit divine wings. Once released, it was comparable to the ancient golden wings of a roc, which could fly a million miles in an instant. During ancient times, complementing illusionary spirit divine wings with illusionary spirit immortal release was ranked as one of the top ten ancient release techniques.
The Illusionary spirit immortal release was Ancient Creation Sect’s supreme remarkable power, hence it would not be passed down easily. Back then, the Sect Leader only passed down the technique to the Elder after he had successfully concocted the illusionary spirit divine wings imitation.
“What a pity that the illusionary spirit immortal release was split into three parts, but only the first part was recorded in the illusionary spirit divine wings.”
Mo Wen felt that it was rather unfortunate. A complete Heavenly Path remarkable power was a priceless treasure. Of course, the first part was also priceless, so Mo Wen was happy to have it, but he just felt that it was unfortunate to have it incomplete.
No wonder the old man in grey mentioned giving him the illusionary spirit divine wings. As long as he used the illusionary spirit immortal release technique, the two imitations would combine and automatically recognize their owner. That was the Elder’s intention for purposely splitting the illusionary spirit divine wings into two; it was to make it more difficult to obtain them. Anyone lucky enough to have managed to obtain them would become their destined owner.
“The Illusionary spirit immortal release is a Heavenly Path remarkable power. I can’t understand it yet, but luckily the Elder had created a release technique suitable for illusionary spirit divine wings after studying it for so long. The Illusionary spirit release technique is the simplified version of illusionary spirit immortal release, which is most suitable for releasing the ability of illusionary spirit divine wings.”
Mo Wen could not practice Heavenly Path remarkable power then, but there were fortunately still a few other release techniques in the illusionary spirit divine wings that could release its ability.
...
A thousand miles away, an oddly shaped living thing was fighting with a monster. The fight looked pretty intense, and their power waves spread out almost a radius of a hundred miles.
The living thing had a body structure similar to man, but its head looked weird, resembling that of a cheetah but covered with dark blue ghastly scales. On its back was a pair of wings, while the hands, covered with dark blue scales, held onto a trident. Even so, the monster was only the size of a small mountain, yet emitted an ancient and insolent aura. It slightly resembled a demonic beast, yet it had no Demonic Qi. Neither was it like those in the Demon Clan that were capable of shapeshifting.
Undoubtedly, both living things were incredibly strong, comparable to a Primordial Soul Realm cultivator.
All of a sudden, the peculiar living thing holding onto the trident lifted its head and stared at the sky. A blue light beam appeared in the sky, radiating the heaven and earth with a fluorescent glitter.
Howl!
Following the howl, the peculiar living thing jumped and dashed faraway, abandoning the severely injured monster.
...
Mo Wen came back to his senses. The Illusionary spirit divine wings was a type of flying release magical treasure imparted with a few release techniques. Just as he was troubled over not being able to practice any good release techniques, he had found the solution to it. He had obtained a few release techniques from Ji Wuya’s heritage, but they were almost nothing compared to the ones in the Illusionary spirit divine wings.
The Illusionary spirit release technique took reference from the illusionary spirit immortal release, with a total of five levels. If one practiced to the highest level, his release speed would be comparable to that of a Path Integration Realm cultivator.
As Mo Wen was about to find a place to practice the illusionary spirit release technique, he sensed a powerful energy pressure closing in on him.
“Hmm?”
Mo Wen slowly turned his head towards the source of the energy. He saw a mass of black gas rising from afar that had rapidly traveled over a hundred miles, then appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.
“#（#@%￥%...”
It was a peculiar living thing that started blabbering the moment it appeared, and Mo Wen could not understand a single bit.
“What’s this?”
Mo Wen frowned. ‘This should be a native of the preliminary ancient land’, he thought. It was not unusual looking for a living thing passed down from ancient times.
Roar!
Failing to communicate, the living thing lost its patience and roared as it attacked Mo Wen with the trident in its hands. Its power was extraordinary, causing a raging storm with a raise of its hands. Even a preliminary stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivator might’ve been suppressed by it.
“As expected of one from a wild ancient land, you use fists to talk.”
Mo Wen saved his breath and struck a fist at once. Nothing strange happened, except that the aggressive living thing was thrown into the air.
Bang!
Its body fell hard onto the ground after passing through more than a thousand meters of a deep ditch and crashing down a large number of trees.
Mo Wen took a stride, and he was already standing in front of the monster. Stepping on its body, he infused majestic power into the monster and sealed its power.
Howl, Howl!
The monster kept struggling on the ground, looking at Mo Wen with terrified eyes. It used its scaly paws to grip onto Mo Wen’s big foot and tried moving it away but to no avail. The large foot placed on his body was like a sea immobilizing divine needle which would not move an inch.
“Do you speak an ancient common language?
Mo Wen lowered his head and tried to communicate with the monster. During ancient times when hundreds of clans were thriving, every clan had their own language. The entire Nine State Continent also had its common language. Mo Wen inherited Ji Wuya’s heritage, so he had some knowledge about the ancient common language. Even though he had trouble speaking it, he could understand it.
The living things in the preliminary ancient land belonged to the clans that had been passed down from the ancient times, so they should’ve been able to use the ancient common language.
“You...you are...preliminary cultivator...”
The monster finally said something which Mo Wen could understand, yet it was in a human language and not in an ancient common language.
“So you know the human language. That makes things easier for us.”
Mo Wen smiled as he thought, ‘It is not unusual for living things in the preliminary ancient land to know the human language. After all, this place is the preliminary ancient land of the Path of Creation where humans often visited, so for them to know human language is very normal’. Moreover, the monster had already figured out his identity.
Living things in the preliminary ancient land hated the human clan. This was only natural since it was the human clan who had imprisoned them in this place for generations, even treating them as training objects for their preliminary cultivation. That was why the living thing attacked Mo Wen the moment it saw him.
“Now your life is in my hands. Answer whatever I ask you, and if you don’t...” Mo Wen threatened.
“Lord...may I ask...” the monster apparently was not fluent, as he could only manage a few words after stuttering for a long time.
“Do you know the Red Hot Desert? If you take me there, I’ll let you off. Otherwise, I’ll kill you.” Mo Wen demanded sternly, with a ferocious look.
The Red Hot Desert was where he could most likely find the Fire Leaving stone and Fire Leaving Diamond. Even though Ku Ji had given him a detailed map, following the directions on it proved too troublesome. It was much easier to have someone lead the way. Moreover, he did not even know his current location, so holding on to the map was useless.
“Yes...I...know...”
All living things feared death. The monster nodded its head like a chick pecking, with its eyes filled with terror.
“Lead the way. If you attempt any tricks, I won’t hesitate to kill you on the spot.” Mo Wen snorted twice before letting the monster go.
He was not a butcher and would not kill the innocent. Somehow, he sympathized with the living things in the preliminary ancient land, so he would not want to kill them if he could. Even if those that were imprisoned here must have committed serious crimes in the past, billions of years had passed. Living things that still existed in the preliminary ancient land were all the descendants of those previously imprisoned here. They committed no crime but just happened to be born here.
