Chapter 669: Mastering Martial Arts
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Time seemed to stop in the mysterious galaxy. Mo Wen did not know how long he stayed there cultivating. After he realized what the tower spirit’s prize was, he had only one thought on his mind, which was to master all the martial arts methods and martial arts to their limits.
He knew that, once he left the Fighting Spirit Tower, it would be unlikely that he would ever have such an opportunity again.
In the galaxy, time pa.s.sed by bit by bit. It could be one moment, or it could be many years.
In fact, the technique that required the most time to cultivate was the three Glory techniques. The three Glory techniques was a rite of pa.s.sage martial arts. The technique was wide and deep, far surpa.s.sing ordinary rite of pa.s.sage martial arts. He cultivated the three Glory techniques last, but the time spent on them surpa.s.sed the total time spent on all the other martial arts methods and techniques he had cultivated in earlier.
The three Glory techniques were the Glory of Thunder, Glory of Wind and Glory of Cloud.
Of the Seven Glorious Infernos, these were the three basic techniques. The Glory of Thunder had four different levels: the Brewing Thunder, the Sound of Thunder, the Thunderbolt and the Fury of Thunder.
Mo Wen had only cultivated to the beginning stages of the Brewing Thunder before and had not really truly cultivated the Glory of Thunder. He attempted to complete his cultivation in the Brewing Thunder stage, making use of the special abilities of this s.p.a.ce.
As for the Sound of Thunder, the Thunderbolt and the Fury of Thunder, Mo Wen knew that they were beyond his grasp for now.
The Brewing Thunder allowed the creation23was creating thunder using one’s inner Qi. Using the Glory of Thunder technique, Mo Wen would be able to grasp the powers under the thunder element.
Of course, the Glory of Wind and Glory of Cloud methods all had four different levels as well.
The four levels of the Glory of Wind technique were the Qi of Wind, the Sound of Wind, the Whistling of Wind and the Anger of Wind.
The four levels of the Glory of Cloud technique were the Appearance of Cloud, the Shadow of Cloud, the Star Clouds and the Illusion of Clouds.
With Mo Wen’s current abilities, he would at the most be able to cultivate the first of the four levels in the three Glory techniques. At first, Mo Wen did not know how long it would take to finish cultivating the first level of all three Glory techniques. However, the mysterious s.p.a.ce had created sufficient conditions for him to do so.
After an unknown period of time, the starlight that had come from far away started to disperse slowly. The Mo Wens all seemed to melt together, looking like a thousand water beads coming together to form a bowl of water.
In the end, only the true Mo Wen remained on the cloud of stars.
Mo Wen, who had become one with the galaxy, slowly opened his eyes. The light of the stars and moon were reflected in his deep and quiet eyes. They looked like endless black holes.
If Pei Fengwu and Jun Wulei had been there, they would have discovered that a great change had come over Mo Wen. It was not because Mo Wen’s cultivation had improved or that his aura had become more powerful. It was an increase in power that could not be described.
“The Prize has been completed.” A distant voice rang out from the stars. Then, Mo Wen’s figure disappeared from the star-filled sky. It was as if he had never been there.
It was night, and the moonlight shone like water, s.h.i.+ning rays of cool light onto earth.
In this mysterious s.p.a.ce, there was also day and night, the sun and the moon. It had been late at night when Mo Wen had been sucked into the mysterious s.p.a.ce. It was past one in the morning then and he should have entered the galaxy at two.
The moon still hung high up in the sky now. It was evident that not much time had pa.s.sed since he entered the mysterious galaxy. In fact, one could say that no time had pa.s.sed at all.
Mo Wen looked around him. He was no longer on the outskirts of the ancient city. He was instead on a patch of desolate land and he did not know where exactly he was.
However, his location within this place was of no importance. Since he was still in this s.p.a.ce, it meant that the game of death was still ongoing. The most important thing to do right now was to kill as many illusionary beasts as possible to increase his powers.
Mo Wen thought back to everything that had happened and a glint appeared in his eyes. The prize that the tower spirit gave him was practically a chance for him to become a new person. Furthermore, his cultivation levels would truly increase. It would not fall back to his previous cultivation levels once he left this s.p.a.ce.
“Other than the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear, there are still other top-grade light tools. They are rare treasures even in this s.p.a.ce.”
Mo Wen recalled that in the beast king’s treasure box, there were three light tools as well as the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear. At the moment, the spear’s level was too high for him to use, but the light tools were quite useful. The unsealing light was especially useful because it meant that he could unseal a profound level weapon. Being able to unseal another profound level weapon in this s.p.a.ce meant that his powers would greatly increase.
Other than the Cries of Hades Bell, Mo Wen still had two profound level weapons. One was the boxing gloves that he had received in the mysterious courtyard. It was called the Blood-Clotting Claw and was very demonic. Mo Wen was certain that the gloves would have very strong attacking abilities. He had also received the highest prize at the Lotus Lake. It was a low-grade profound level weapon, a picturesque painting of the mountains and lakes. It was a rare defensive profound level weapon.
Mo Wen thought about it and eventually decided to unseal the Blood-Clotting Claw. While the defensive capabilities of the painting were very strong, it would not be as useful as the Blood-Clotting Claw in this place. The Blood Clotting Claw was a powerful attack type profound level weapon. It would definitely help Mo Wen kill more illusionary beasts.
Mo Wen then entered the desolate wilderness in search of powerful monstrous beasts. He would kill all the monstrous beasts he encountered. With his current capabilities, he would have no need to feel afraid even if he came across a monstrous beast at the pinnacle of the seventh level.
If it were not for his earlier punishment for killing Hou Jingfeng, Mo Wen would have been on the verge of entering the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir Realm. In terms of his inner Qi and cultivation levels, he was no weaker than a warrior at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm.
In the desolate wilderness, dark shadows floated around. Perhaps because Mo Wen smelled like blood, monstrous beast after monstrous beast gathered in the desolate wilderness.
Mo Wen’s white figure flickered among the monstrous beasts. All monstrous beasts near to him instantly died at his hands. The monstrous beasts surrounded him but Mo Wen looked as if he was taking a stroll. Even a few late seventh level monstrous beasts could not hurt him at all.
Roar! A wolf type monstrous beast roared angrily. The monstrous beast was six meters long and three meters tall. There was a silver crescent moon in the middle of its forehead. It exuded the aura only a monstrous beast at the late seventh level possessed.
It leaped forward, wrapped up in silver energy. It looked like a silver-colored sun.
However, before it reached Mo Wen, a dark and enormous claw appeared in mid-air. The claw exuded extreme coldness. In mere moments, the gra.s.s and trees in a thousand-meter radius froze. Some of the lower-level monstrous beasts immediately became frozen statues.
The coldness was terrifying, more than ten times colder than the underground river. Its attribute powers were almost at its limits. Even a martial arts grandmaster who cultivated in cold attribute techniques would find it hard to cultivate to such a terrifying level.
The moment the coldness appeared, the monstrous beasts all slowed down slightly. A layer of ice immediately appeared on the silver moon monstrous wolf that was pouncing at Mo Wen. Its body froze in mid-air.
The enormous Tai Yin Claws fell suddenly, making contact with the silver moon monstrous beast’s enormous skull. The head of the powerful seventh-level monstrous beast exploded like a watermelon. Its brain matter had been frozen into shards by the cold air.
The monstrous wolf turned into bits of starlight and flowed into Mo Wen. Even though the Tai Yin Claws had only attacked the silver moon monstrous wolf, some of the monstrous beasts nearby that had lower cultivation levels were also affected. Some of them froze into ice statues and died, turning into starlight.
Mo Wen casually waved the Tai Yin Claws behind him. He pointed with his other hand and a ray of gold light shone out. A later stage seventh level ape type monstrous beast shuddered slightly. It opened its eyes forcefully and the light in its eyes spread outwards. A b.l.o.o.d.y hole suddenly appeared in the middle of its forehead. There were flickers of golden flames surrounding the b.l.o.o.d.y hole. In just moments, the enormous ape type monstrous beast’s eyes, nose, mouth, and ears all erupted in golden flames.
The flames spread over the monstrous beast’s entire body like a golden fireball. In mere moments, the seventh level beast was burnt to ashes. Sparkles of starlight flowed out from where it had been and surged towards Mo Wen.
A Cold Light Bird of the cold attribute plunged down from the skies. It was a late seventh level monstrous beast. It had ice spikes on its body and rushed viciously towards Mo Wen.
However, the avian beast had not even gotten close to Mo Wen when he casually waved his hand. A patch of golden colored sword Qi rushed up into the skies. The sword Qi was surrounded by a layer of burning and flickering golden flame. The moment it appeared, it felt as if heaven and earth were like an oven. The rocks on the ground could not bear the scorching hot temperatures and gradually melted.
The Cold Light Bird was an avian beast of the cold attribute. Water and Fire did not go well together. A look of fear appeared in its eyes when it saw the golden sword Qi that was flying towards it. The flaming sword Qi was too immensely powerful. The icicles on the Cold Light Bird, which had not thawed in millennia, gradually melted under the fire.
The flame was the embodiment of human warriors cultivating the fire attribute to the extreme. Usually, martial arts grandmasters who cultivated in the fire attribute techniques would find it difficult to reach such a stage. Mo Wen was a human youth whose cultivation was not even at the late Golden Elixir Realm. How was it possible for him to wield such a terrifying attribute fire?
The Cold Light Bird flapped its wings and turned around, attempting to escape. This enemy that possessed such extreme flames was too strong. It could well be the bird’s nemesis.
Mo Wen’s Qi of Tai Yang Sword was not as powerful as a Spiritual Profound Sword Qi but it was faster than it. Mo Wen had already cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Technique to the eighth level and the power of his Qi of Tia Yang Sword was stunning. He caught up with the Cold Light Bird in a flash. No matter how hard the Cold Light Bird tried to flee, its efforts were in vain.
There was a flash of golden light and the Qi of Tai Yang Sword cleaved the Cold Light Bird into two. The remaining icicles gradually melted in the flames. Its body turned into sparkles of starlight and surged into Mo Wen.
Since he had emerged from the mysterious galaxy, Mo Wen had not used any treasures to kill his enemies. Instead, he had only used his cultivation and the martial arts he had learned. He had not even used much of the recovery light.
He had done this to adjust to the quick improvements in his martial arts and techniques that he had gained in the mysterious galaxy. Even though he had cultivated all his martial arts techniques, other than the three Glory techniques, to their highest levels if he did not try to get used to them through actual battle experience, it would be difficult for him to use the highest level martial arts powers.
The Nine Yang Divine Technique was Yang power while the Nine Yin Divine Technique was Yin Power. The Celestial Scripture: Sun and Moon was neutral. Cultivating in these martial arts might not give him any powerful attribute strength, but they were the best to heal his injuries and recover his inner Qi. Mo Wen had become famous in the ancient martial arts world because of the celestial Scripture: Sun and Moon.
