Chapter 777: Narrow View of the World
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
With his Deified Soul Power, Mo Wen realized that going against a few martial arts grandmasters at once would be an easy feat. Based on instinctive reaction alone, even third realm martial arts grandmasters were not a match for him.
“Young man, don’t be too sure about what you said. How do you know that I am not someone from Crimson Star Sect?” Xin Yichuan said with a slight smile.
“Oh, so you mean to say that you are from Crimson Star Sect?” Mo Wen stated calmly.
“That’s right. I am currently the Sect Grand Elder of Crimson Star Sect. So it’s not very appropriate for you to go around saying that you want to eliminate my Crimson Star Sect, is it?” Xin Yichuan said with a small smile.
Mo Wen was not very surprised that the old man had simply claimed to be a person of Crimson Star Sect. He had also already heard of some secret customs related to the Martial Arts Circle Convention.
At each Martial Arts Circle Convention, all the masters from the martial arts sects would make their appearances. All the so-called ancestors who had been hidden for hundreds of years, Sect Grand-uncles who had never come out into the world, and a bunch of uncertified and dubious masters would all emerge.
The purpose of it was to aid the main s.p.a.ce martial arts sects by helping them to qualify for the Martial Arts Circle Convention.
“How is it inappropriate? You think I won’t dare to eliminate Crimson Star Sect just because you are here?” Mo Wen laughed coldly and said.
“You’re so bold. You’re the first young man who has dared to talk to me like that. There is no such talented youth in the main s.p.a.ce, so I believe that you have hailed from the same place as I did. Am I right? I wonder which sect in the inner world has managed to cultivate such an insolent youth like you. I will report you to your sect and let’s see if they will make things less difficult for you.”
Within the main s.p.a.ce, it was almost impossible for there to be such a talented youth. The only explanation was that such a person had been born, however, it was not possible for that type of person to be born so easily. Hence, he had concluded that this youth was definitely an ancient martial art pract.i.tioner from the inner world.
Although there were many ancient martial art sects in the inner world, there were not many that could cultivate such a youth. If the sect behind this youth was very strong and powerful, even Xin Yichuan would not dare to offend them.
“Make things difficult for me? You should only say something like that if you can make things difficult for me in the first place.” Mo Wen’s mouth turned up into a mocking smile and he said calmly, “Old man, I believe you are bent on protecting Crimson Star Sect today then?”
“Young man, taking a step back will widen your view of the world,” Xin Yichuan said calmly. “Although you have a very high Cultivation, don’t forget that you are still not a martial arts grandmaster. You should know how far you are from achieving that. Since you hail from the inner world, I don’t want to bully you either. Hand over the Snowy Plum Blossom spiritual weapon and leave now. Then, I may just consider letting you off unscathed. “Basically, with me around, Crimson Star Sect cannot be harmed.”
If Mo Wen was an average youth, Xin Yichuan would have just taken the spiritual weapon by force, even if the youth’s Cultivation was sufficiently high. However, this youth was from the inner world, so Xin Yichuan was concerned about the sect behind him.
Mo Wen’s eyes narrowed and a gust of cold wind gathered. Meanwhile, Xin Yichuan stood his ground. He stood tall and straight and did not move a muscle. The tension between the two of them started to increase.
“A martial arts grandmaster has the right to make me go all out.” With a huge roar, a frightening gust of cold air suddenly exploded out of Mo Wen. The cold air blew everything from the ground and sent them flying to the clouds. In the sky, the clouds contracted suddenly. Then, huge pieces of hail started to fall, each piece as big as a fist.
The wind was extremely strong and there was a drastic change in the atmosphere. The area within a hundred-meter diameter was soon covered with hail.
Meanwhile, the mountain peak that Crimson Star Sect was on had instantly been covered in a layer of ice crystals. It spread from the foot to the peak of the mountain, even extending to the plaza and palace. The entire Crimson Star Sect had been frozen in ice within a moment. It was as though a huge blizzard from the North Pole had suddenly descended upon them.
The ancient martial art pract.i.tioners of Crimson Star Sect with lower cultivations had become so cold that their limbs had frozen over and dropped off. Even their blood was starting to solidify. It seemed as though they would be frozen to death without too much of effort required from Mo Wen. Those ancient martial art pract.i.tioners with higher cultivations were also s.h.i.+vering from the cold. No matter how hard they tried to use their cultivations to defend them from the cold, they found it to be an impossible feat.
The cold had not just affected the Sect Elders of the Embryonic Breathing Realm. Even those Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art pract.i.tioners like Huo Qize and Xin Wuji were s.h.i.+vering.
Because of the distance from Mo Wen and the special protection he had given them, only the area w.a.n.g Qinghan and Little Tang were in was not as unbearably cold.
“Such a frightening Cold Qi.” Xin Yichuan’s pupils contracted and his expression immediately grew solemn. He had never encountered such a terrifying Cold Qi before.
Previously, he had crossed paths with a couple of Sect Grand Elders from the Cold Light Pavilion. However, even their Cold Qi was far from being so frightening! Moreover, this youth’s Cultivation felt just like a martial arts grandmaster’s. Even if it had not reached that level, it was extremely close to the level. In fact, it could already be on par with some of the weaker first realm martial arts grandmasters.
Initially, he had thought that Mo Wen’s Cultivation would simply be a little better than an ancient martial art pract.i.tioner at the peak of the Golden Elixir Realm. However, it seemed that he was of a higher level altogether.
“Young man, you are a great surprise. With your abilities, I’m afraid you are actually one of the top three of the Mystery Dimension’s Ten Great Youths.”
Xin Yichuan looked deep into Mo Wen’s eyes. The Mystery Dimension’s Ten Great Youths was a ranking that included all the strong youths of the inner world. The ranking was determined once every five years. Over there, any sort of young masters appearing was not an unusual occurrence. However, ones that were of Mo Wen’s level were rather rare. Hence, he was good enough to make it to the top three positions.
“However, I am a martial arts grandmaster. Do you think you can actually defeat me?”
Xin Yichuan asked calmly. This youth was indeed rather special. However, a martial arts grandmaster was of an entirely different league. Hence, it was impossible to rely on his uniqueness to close the gap so easily.
“You’re so easily surprised? I think you’ll be surprised quite a bit today then. So what if you’re a grandmaster? Does that make you very powerful? I guess you’ll just have to find out how narrow your world view has been.”
Mo Wen laughed coldly. There have been many examples of non-grandmasters defeating grandmasters. Not too far from home, there was Nangong Mingzhu as an example. At the peak of the Golden Elixir Realm, she was able to easily kill off a beast king.
Although he was only at the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir Realm at the moment, his inner Qi Cultivation had undergone a lot of training and transformations while battling it out with the Tower Spirit. Hence, it was more advanced than the average grandmaster’s.Read more chapter on vipnovel.com
“You think too highly of yourself.” Xin Yichuan laughed coldly. He actually wanted to see for himself how this youth would defeat a grandmaster without having the abilities of one. He had no interest in continuing to waste his time talking nonsense to Mo Wen. Since this youth did not want to respond to his soft tactics, he would have to be hard on him.
A gray-brown light shone out of Xin Yichuan’s body. The light had a very weird quality to it. It did not resemble light. Instead, it looked like rocks were emanating out of his body.
Roar!
With a loud roar, Xin Yichuan’s entire being had grown taller, immediately becoming more than five meters tall. Pieces of dark brown rocks covered his body, making him look just like a Rock Giant.
“Monolith Vajrapani Technique.”
A heated look flashed through the eyes of Xin Wuji, the youth dressed in white. The Monolith Vajrapani Technique was their sect’s greatest technique, and only the Sect Leader and Sect Grand Elder had the right to perform it. Even Xin Wuji himself had not had the chance to come close to performing this secret technique.
The power of this technique was second to none. Once it was performed, it would turn one into a Rock Giant. The person’s power would then be doubled in an instant. More than half of normal martial arts grandmasters would not be a match for the patriarchs they encountered.
Xin Wuji was a little shocked. Just to defeat this youth, the Patriarch had actually performed even the Monolith Vajrapani Technique. It felt like he was making a mountain out of a molehill.
An expression of surprise flashed across Mo Wen’s face. This technique was very powerful and did not seem like the usual technique.
“Go and die.” The moment he performed the Monolith Vajrapani Technique, Xin Yichuan had gone entirely wild. There was even a rough metallic quality to his voice. As he took a single stop to weave through the blizzard, the entire mountain peak began to tremble. Then, he threw a punch viciously out towards Mo Wen.
The power of the punch was simply shocking. Even ten ancient martial art pract.i.tioners at the peak of the Golden Elixir Realm combined would not be able to withstand such a blow, let alone an average Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art pract.i.tioner,
After battling the Tower Spirit, Mo Wen’s body had also achieved a new peak. In the face of such a strong attack, a heated look flashed through his eyes. Then, his chest puffed up and he did not try to avoid the a.s.sault. Instead, he simply stood there and prepared to receive it.
A flash of lightning zapped out of Mo Wen and lit up his entire body. The entire area was electrified. The flashes of lightning congregated in the air to form a lightning cloud, which continuously rumbled and flashed in the air.
With Mo Wen’s current cultivation, him unleas.h.i.+ng the Glory of Thunder was exceptionally frightening. A very strong aura exuded from his body and collided directly with the Rock Giant.
Roar!
A loud bellowing roar rang out and engulfed the mountain peak. The ground started to shake and a large number of rocks started to tumble down from the peak, creating multiple avalanches.
There were waves stemming from the center of the plaza radiating outwards. All the ancient martial art pract.i.tioners of Crimson Star Sect in the plaza had been blown away, as though they were mere leaves in the face of a tornado. Cracks started to appear on the ground of the plaza in a spider web formation.
Mo Wen’s body was also sent flying backward. A single punch of Xin Yichuan was sufficient to shatter an entire mountain peak. Hence, Mo Wen was unable to withstand the blow with his body alone.
Of course, Xin Yichuan was not in the best state either. He retreated tens of steps before he was finally able to stabilize himself. The Qi and blood in his body started to gurgle and it felt as though something was pressing on his chest, giving him a feeling of suffocation.
In a direct collision, although he had a bit of advantage, it was not very significant.
Mo Wen shook his shoulders to get rid of the power pressing on his body. Then, he hovered in the air as a trace of blood started to trickle down the corner of his lips. He had been injured by the earlier blow.
However, his mouth turned up into a smile as he said calmly, “A martial arts grandmaster isn’t that amazing after all.” In a direct collision, the other party had not been at a great advantage anyway. Hence, Mo Wen no longer viewed this person as a big threat.
Xin Yichuan stood on the cracked floor and looked at Mo Wen in disbelief. This youth had not been too seriously injured even after taking a direct blow from him. How could that be?!
After he unleashed the Monolith Vajrapani Technique, even the normal martial arts grandmaster would not be able to receive the attack so easily. After all, his technique had the great advantage of strength. Thus, when others fought against him, very few would go for a direct hit. That was because more than half of the people would be at a disadvantage if they did so.
Yet, this youth actually dared to do so and even emerged with a very surprising outcome!
“You’ve trained your body?”
Xin Yichuan’s expression was sour. He knew that with the Cultivation Mo Wen had exhibited, it was definitely impossible for him to receive the punch so easily. It would only be possible if his body was up to standard as well.
At his level, it was very easy for Xin Yichuan to a.n.a.lyze the problems and issues. Not only was this youth’s Cultivation closing in on that of a martial arts grandmaster, his body strength had also achieved an unbelievable standard.
