Chapter 591: Purple Bottle Gourd
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Transforming beans into soldiers was a famous power in the immortal cultivation world. It was suitable for use by immortal cultivations of all stages and the area it covered was wide. Those with a certain level of cultivation would know a little about it.
Of course, the higher the cultivation of the immortal cultivator, the stronger the ability to transform beans into soldiers. The legendary Mighty Immortal Cultivator was said to have the ability to call the legendary heavenly soldiers and generals.
Of course, that was just a legend. Mo Wen, at least, had never seen what heavenly soldiers and generals looked like.
The power of transforming beans into soldiers, the number of soldiers called and their ability proved how strong an immortal cultivator was. The stronger the soldiers’ combat abilities and the more soldiers called, the stronger the immortal cultivator.
The soldiers in the great hall right now might not have been created by a strong immortal cultivator, but their power was still terrifying many of the ancient martial art pract.i.tioners present.
Mo Wen could tell from a glance that the combat abilities of the transformed soldiers were no lower than pract.i.tioners in the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm. If three, four or five of these soldiers formed a group, they would probably have the ability to kill a pract.i.tioner in the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm.
Mo Wen had already known all of this and so, when the golden beans had appeared, he had swept them into the air. As such, there were almost no soldiers around him.
Chen Wuhui took a breath of cold air and he stared at what was happening before him in shock. He silently thanked his lucky stars that he had followed Mo Wen’s lead. As such, there were not any soldiers around him. Otherwise, if he had been caught unaware, he could have been injured by those soldiers that suddenly appeared.
He naturally knew of the legendary transforming beans into soldiers. However, he had never thought that it would appear before him. A few hundred years ago, Luofeng Sect, must have kept a transforming beans into soldiers talisman technique!
Layers of soldiers surrounded a group of ancient martial art pract.i.tioners in the great hall. Each pract.i.tioner was surrounded by four or five soldiers who kept waving their weapons at them.
Some pract.i.tioners had been taken aback by the soldiers’ appearance and had suffered serious injuries. There were a few unlucky pract.i.tioners who had been suddenly surrounded by too many soldiers and had died under their swords.
“d.a.m.n it! How did Luofeng sect have a talisman technique like transforming beans into soldiers!” Bu Zhangkun roared. His enormous arms swept down, causing the wind to sweep away the seven or eight soldiers surrounding him. They flew up into the air. Even though the soldiers who had been transformed from beans had appeared too suddenly, his cultivation meant he would not be caught unaware. However, there were many ancient martial art pract.i.tioners from Five Beasts Sect who were in the great hall. One had already been killed and three more had been injured in just mere moments.
Roar! The soldiers that had been transformed from beans all roared like demonic beasts. They held their s.h.i.+elds and raised their swords, ferociously attacking the group in the great hall.
The high-level sects like Five Beasts Sect, Purple Qi Pavilion, Medical Sect, and Weapon Forging Sect each attacked the surging wave of soldiers with all their might. They did not even consider keeping their hand hidden.
Even though there had not been any soldiers around Mo Wen at the beginning of the attack, some soon sought him out. Three soldiers wearing ancient armor and holding long swords and pikes surrounded him. Their movements were agile and fast and they moved at the same time. They were well-trained and skilled in joint attacks.
One soldier might not be a match for a pract.i.tioner in the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm. However, three soldiers had enough ability to kill a Golden Elixir realm pract.i.tioner.
Mo Wen was secretly stunned. Transforming soldiers from beans was indeed amazing. These soldiers knew how to mount coordinated attacks. He was a little curious and did not dodge. Instead, he stepped forward and took the initiative to go up to them.
A soldier cleaved his sword down. Mo Wen unhurriedly held out two fingers and clasped the blade between them. A heavy force flowed suddenly to his hand. He could sense a little pressure.
“What powerful strength.”
The soldiers had not cultivated any inner Qi. They had simply used their physical strength, which was stronger than ancient martial art pract.i.tioner in the intermediate Golden Elixir realm. Even Yin Banshuang, who had undergone a complete change in inner Qi, might still have weaker physical strength than these soldiers.
Cras.h.!.+ Mo Wen clasped the blade with two fingers and moved it to the side. It collided with the long pike coming from another direction. The force of the collision caused the soldier holding the long pike back by four or five meters.
The two fingers Mo Wen used to hold the blade shook. The soldier who was holding on to the sword was tossed into the air above Mo Wen’s head.
A fist appeared and hit the soldier’s body forcefully. The terrifying force caused a large hole the size of a small basin to appear in the soldier’s chest.
One could imagine how strong Mo Wen was. Even if the soldiers transformed from beans had slightly stronger bodies, they would not be able to withstand any blows from him.
Cras.h.!.+ The soldier exploded, turning into fragments that scattered in the air. Then, he disintegrated completely.
Mo Wen turned and leaped at the soldier holding the long pike.
The soldier’s combat ability was very strong, but he was no match for Mo Wen. He was destroyed into seven or eight pieces in moments.
However, while Mo Wen could easily kill his enemies, others were not able to. Even though most of the warriors in the great hall were at the beginning of the Golden Elixir realm, it was not easy for them to handle such soldiers.
After all, the bodies of these soldiers were too strong. Others were unable to dismiss the soldier’s defensive abilities as easily as Mo Wen could.
It was not an easy thing for a beginning stage Golden Elixir realm pract.i.tioner to defeat one of the soldiers. Furthermore, there were too many soldiers in the great hall, with three to five soldiers surrounding each warrior. The humans in the great hall were immediately at a disadvantage.
“You old ones, don’t hide your hands anymore. If you don’t put in your full effort, not many of you will be leaving here alive.” Pavilion Leader Ye Rong flew up and looked at the other few top experts from above. Then, she pulled out a gourd from his sleeves expressionlessly. The gourd was purple-gold and was small and exquisite. It had a n.o.ble and elegant aura.
The Purple Bottle Gourd! It was the treasure of the Purple Qi Pavilion and had always been one of the symbolic items of the Purple Qi Pavilion.
It was said that the Purple Bottle Gourd was the top spiritual weapon of top-grade spiritual weapons. It also had a degree of spiritual power and was different from ordinary spiritual weapons. It had the ability to evolve. Legend said that Purple Qi Pavilion could use a secret method to gain the Purple Bottle Gourd. After absorbing Purple Qi, the Gourd would become slightly stronger and even evolve completely.
The Purple Bottle Gourd had more than 500 years of history in Purple Qi Pavilion. It was said that it had belonged to the first-generation pavilion leader. The Purple Qi Pavilion’s name was related to the Purple Bottle Gourd.
The Purple Bottle Gourd had been a top grade spiritual weapon a few hundred years ago. After years of cultivation by Purple Qi Pavilion, it would definitely be the treasure closest to being a profound level treasure in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, much less evolving into a profound level treasure.
“All disciples of the Purple Qi Pavilion, gather.” Pavilion Leader Ye Rong had an aura that was n.o.ble and undoubtedly strong.
In her pale soft hands, the Purple Bottle Gourd glowed purple. It glowed brighter and brighter. It was evident that Pavilion Leader Ye Rong was prepared to use this legendary treasure.
Moments later, all the disciples of the Purple Qi Pavilion gave up on their struggles with those soldiers. They quickly gathered and formed a protective circle. However, this meant the aura of human beings grew stronger, attracting even more soldiers. A large number of soldiers surged towards where they gathered.
From her position in mid-air, Pavilion Leader Ye Rong threw the Purple Bottle Gourd to the ground.
Suddenly a ray of purple light swept through the s.p.a.ce. The purple light was eye-catching as it shone on a large surface.
The soldiers who were caught in the purple light all froze where they were standing. It was as if they had become terracotta soldiers. Their black armor quickly turned purple-gold, as if it had been plated with a layer of purple gold.
Crash Crash Cras.h.!.+ The sounds of an explosion rang incessantly. The soldiers that had turned purple-gold all exploded, turning into dust.
Those from Purple Qi Pavilion were in the center, and there wasn’t a single soldier left in the 20-meter radius surrounding them. It seemed completely empty.
“What an impressive Purple Bottle Gourd. Its power is indeed stunning.” Bu Zhangkun narrowed his eyes. He stared at the Purple Bottle Gourd that was suspended in mid-air with some fear. There was a legend in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension that if profound level treasures did not appear, the Purple Bottle Gourd would be the most powerful spiritual weapon. It now seemed that that was true. Only the Five Beast Hoops in Five Beasts Sect was comparable to the power of the Purple Bottle Gourd.
Jiang Pingzhou and Jiang Jingtao’s expressions changed slightly as they looked at the Purple Bottle Gourd in the air. There was an indescribable feeling in their heart. Medical Sect and Weapon Forging Sect might be two of the strongest sects but in terms of capabilities, only Five Beasts Sect in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension could compete against the Purple Qi Pavilion.
Compared to the Purple Qi Pavilion, the powerful Weapon Forging Sect and Medical Sect would simply rank lower.
“What spiritual weapon was that? How odd.” Mo Wen looked at the Purple Bottle Gourd in Pavilion Leader Ye Rong’s hand. The Purple Bottle Gourd was unlike an ordinary spiritual weapon. Instead, it was like a living thing.
For some reason, he could sense a vague sense of vitality in the Purple Bottle Gourd.
However, the power of the Purple Bottle Gourd was really terrifying. It was almost at the level of a profound spiritual weapon. A treasure like that had appeared in a warrior sect of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. The warrior sects of this world had hidden depths. In his world, there were probably not even many warriors who knew about immortal cultivators, let alone actually be in contact with items of immortal cultivators.
The ray of purple light had killed at least 30 soldiers. However, even so, there were still many of them in the great hall.
Furthermore, the most terrifying part about the transforming soldiers from beans was that if the power was endless, then the soldiers would be endless. Even if the soldiers kept dying, more soldiers would be formed unless the power of the talisman was completely exhausted. Otherwise, new soldiers would keep forming.
However, it was fortunate that the pract.i.tioners in the great hall were not naïve; they had all come prepared.
Shortly after Pavilion Leader Ye Rong acted, Bu Zhangkun of Five Beasts Sect took an exquisite bronze hoop from his sleeve. The bronze hoop was like the bangle of a small child. It was not big and there was a ferocious tiger head carved on it.
The bronze hoop was well known in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Other than Mo Wen, the other warriors in the great hall all knew about it. It was the tiger hoop, one of Five Beasts Sect’s famous hoops.
The tiger hoop was a top grade spiritual weapon. Since it was used by Bu Zhangkun, it was terrifyingly powerful, killing a large number of soldiers in just a moment. However, it was just not as exaggerated as Pavilion Leader Ye Rong’s Purple Bottle Gourd.
