Chapter 1047: The Tide Changing Realm
Mo Wen looked at the Heavenly Book of Creation he was holding. This book represented the highest path of the Path of Creation and few people knew of its existence, even in the ancient Creation Sect.
In the past, the ancestors of the ancient Creation Sect had known of this book, and this book had been hidden right in the Pool of Creation. But after time had gone by, almost no one had been able to find it.
He was rather confused too—how did this book land in his hands?
With his current abilities, it was impossible for him to understand the Heavenly Book of Creation, and he would probably only be able to understand its contents after he attained enlightenment of the Path of Creation.
However, Mo Wen’s understanding of the Path of Creation became deeper after a period of cultivation, so he knew a few tricks for using the Path of Creation, such as the book he had in his hand, for example. Although he could not understand it at all now, he could still use it, even if it’s just a little.
Mo Wen took out the Sacred Fire Sword from the medicine spiritual ring. The sword was a sacred treasure, but it was rather ordinary now because a lot of people had sealed it.
He had been wanting to destroy the seals on the Sacred Fire Sword to revive it to its original glory.
However, he had been unable to do so, even with his current cultivation. It was obvious that the person who had sealed the Sacred Fire Sword had not been Zhang Poxiao but its owner according to the legends—a Divine Illusionary Realm cultivator.
Mo Wen was rather down in the dumps when he realized he could not achieve that much with his own strength, but the Nine-day art of Creation had been rather helpful in breaking seals, which were the embodiment of Creation anyway.
Now that he had succeeded in cultivating the Light of Creation, he should be able to destroy the seal on the Sacred Fire Sword.
Mo Wen pictured it in his head, then a hazy white Light of Creation manifested in his hands. The Light of Creation did not fall directly on the Sacred Fire Sword. Instead, it shot into the Heavenly Book of Creation. When the Light of Creation had emerged from the Heavenly Book of Creation again, it had become twice as strong.
Amplifying Creation was one of the uses of the Heavenly Book of Creation that Mo Wen had with him. It seemed as if all powers associated with Creation would become stronger and more powerful after passing through the Heavenly Book of Creation.
The amplified Light of Creation spun in the air, then descended upon the Sacred Fire Sword. In a split second, ripples formed on the surface of the Sacred Fire Sword.
It was like tossing a rock into a calm lake. The ripples of white light grew bigger and bigger, clearer and clearer.
Finally, a light “pat” echoed, as though something had shattered.
A crimson red light illuminated the entirety of the third floor shortly after, and even Mo Wen felt a wave of that terrifying power. Rings and rings of light appeared. It was as if they could destroy the world that was surrounding him. That bout of power was rather terrifying, and even a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator was not exempt from experiencing it.
But that is still not enough!
Mo Wen furrowed his eyebrows. The power of a sacred treasure is definitely not limited to this. The Sacred Fire Sword in front of his eyes was giving off an aura that was only slightly stronger than a regular heaven spiritual treasure.
The aura of the sacred treasure was something that could dissipate even a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator, and the power it contained was unparalleled.
Although the Light of Creation had destroyed a few seals, Mo Wen discovered that there was still one last seal he could not destroy.
“To think, even with my power now, there’s still a final seal I cannot destroy. The Divine Illusionary Realm cultivator is terrifying indeed, and the Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators are probably just ants to them.”
Mo Wen was shocked. It seemed like his power now was still not enough to allow for the Sacred Fire Sword to revert to its original status as a sacred treasure, and it had only recovered enough power for it to be on par with a heaven spiritual treasure.
Perhaps it was stronger than the average heaven spiritual treasure, but still, it was just that.
“Maybe I’ll be able to destroy all of the seals if I cultivate the Light of Creation so that it is on the level of esoteric rules, but that’s still too difficult. It’s probably even more difficult than cultivating the Light of Creation such that it’s at the level of the Supreme Profundity Realm.”
Mo Wen shook his head. If he cultivated to the Supreme Profundity Realm, maybe he would be able to use his cultivation level to destroy the final seal on the Sacred Fire Sword; that would be much easier than understanding the esoteric rule for Creation.
The more he understood the Path of Creation, the more he understood its profound depth. Even the most basic esoteric rules of Creation were not rules that could be understood easily, and it was far more difficult than a cultivator breaking through to the Supreme Profundity Realm.
He put away the Sacred Fire Sword. Although it had not recovered to the state of a sacred treasure yet, a heaven spiritual treasure was not anything to sniff at either, and he did not have any attack-type heaven spiritual treasures as of now. Although the imitation illusionary spirit divine wings were amazing, they were still not made to be a weapon.
Something in Mo Wen stirred all of a sudden, and he retrieved the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear from the medicine spiritual ring. He had obtained the spear in the Fighting Spirit Tower and he had originally thought it was just an ordinary spiritual treasure, only to find out afterward that the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear had actually contained an Immemorial Heavenly Serpent. This Immemorial Heavenly Serpent was probably not worth any less compared to a sacred treasure.
The sudden realization made Mo Wen feel strange. Someone had actually integrated the Immemorial Heavenly Serpent into an ordinary spiritual treasure.
Afterward, he cultivated in the Junior Master’s Pagoda for a hundred years. The Path of Creation was becoming much more profound. He also quietly realized that the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear was not as simple as it appeared to be, and it contained within itself a seal similar to that of the Sacred Fire Sword. However, the seal on Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear was much more discreet and beyond his depth, so Mo Wen had not detected it at all before this.
With this in mind, he wanted to try and test if there really was a seal in the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear. If so, the Light of Creation could be put to the test.
A beam of Light of Creation passed through the Heavenly Book of Creation and fell upon the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear afterward. At the next moment, the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear suddenly shook, and beams of lightning appeared upon it. The resplendent lightning bolts interwove to resist the invasion of the Light of Creation.
It is as expected! Mo Wen’s heart filled with joy—there was indeed a seal in the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear.
He attempted to break the seal on the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear. There were several layers to the seal but breaking the first one was not too difficult.
The Light of Creation shifted, then collided into the lightning on the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear.
After half a beat of crackling, the first seal was finally broken.
A bolt of lightning rushed into the sky and its terrifying aura wreaked havoc, sweeping around the air without stopping.
At the same time, information flew out from the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear and burrowed into Mo Wen’s mind.
Mo Wen did not stop. He rushed at the second seal on the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear with all he had. Though the second seal was markedly stronger, he still felt that he could break it.
After two hours, the second seal shattered as well. The aura on the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear became much stronger; not only was it a heavenly spiritual treasure, but it also seemed much stronger than the Sacred Fire Sword.
At the same time, more information appeared in Mo Wen’s head.
After an indeterminate amount of time passed, Mo Wen finally roused slowly from the massive load of information.
“I see!”
He took a deep breath—so this is how it was. Not only was the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear not an ordinary spiritual treasure, but it was also a rather impressive sacred treasure.
A Heaven and Earth Sacred Treasure! The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear was actually a rare Heaven and Earth Sacred Treasure, third in the ranks of sacred treasures.
It might only rank third out of the five ranks of sacred treasures, but even mighty Path Integration Realm cultivators would find it difficult to obtain rare treasures like a Heaven and Earth Sacred Treasure. Few people were able to lay their hands on a Heaven and Earth Sacred Treasure.
As for the origins of the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear, it was actually not too different from the Star Emperor. As it turned out, it had belonged to the Thunder Emperor, who was also one of the five great disciples of the Martial Arts God.
The Thunder Emperor was like the Star Emperor, both of whom were of the Martial Arts God’s five great disciples, completely unfathomable. Rumor had it that they were on par with Virtue and Justice Realm cultivators.
As for how the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear had fallen into Mo Wen’s hands, this was a story that started from the Fighting Spirit Tower. The Fighting Spirit Tower in the ancient city had originally been constructed by the Thunder Emperor, so the Tower Spirit had inherited the will of the Thunder Emperor. The Tower Spirit had been waiting quietly in the Fighting Spirit Tower for an heir who could inherit the Thunder Emperor’s mantle.
The thing was, thousands of years had gone by and no one had been fit to inherit his mantle, and few people had even stepped foot into the Fighting Spirit Tower.
The Fighting Spirit Tower had taken a shine to Mo Wen, but he was already the Star Emperor’s heir, and there was no way he could have the Thunder Emperor and Star Emperor fighting over heirs, not when something like this had never happened since the beginning of time. The two emperors were exceptional and cared very much about their reputation, so there was no way they would do something like this.
But what other choice did they have? The Tower Spirit of the Fighting Spirit Tower had existed for too long and it would disappear completely soon. The Thunder Emperor’s legacy would also disappear from the mortal realm if there was no one to hand it down to.
After much thought, the Tower Spirit decided to test Mo Wen to see if he deserved the legacy of two emperors. If he did not, then the Tower Spirit would rather the Thunder Emperor’s legacy stall in the Fighting Spirit Tower.
This was why there had been so many tests when Mo Wen had been in the Fighting Spirit Tower, as though someone had deliberately arranged for it to be so.
The Thunder Emperor’s legacy was in the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear, and in it was also hidden the Path of the Thunder Emperor.
To digest the information, Mo Wen had spent three whole years. The Thunder Emperor’s legacy was colossal indeed, and it was extremely beneficial to Mo Wen. Although there were some things which were of little to no value for Mo Wen to inherit, every cultivator’s path was different and it was imperative to forge one’s own path if one wanted to become the strongest. This meant that there was no way to reach the apex just by inheriting someone else’s path.
But everything the Thunder King had experienced in his life—his cultivation training, his battle knowledge, the breadth of his knowledge... All of that was a huge treasure to Mo Wen.
While one could say that the Star Emperor had been the most intelligent and likable of the Martial Arts God’s five great disciples, the Thunder Emperor had been the one who knew the path of the Martial Arts God the best.
To Mo wen, the Thunder Emperor’s martial arts knowledge was no different from being possessed by the Battle God. He had been the best at battle in the Middle Age, and there had been an innumerable number of high-level cultivators that had died at his hands.
“Since that’s the case, after I break through to the Tide Changing Realm, I’ll cultivate some of the Thunder Emperor’s and Star Emperor’s remarkable power for a period of time. I didn’t have the qualifications to cultivate them before, but I finally have a proper base for them now.”
Mo Wen smiled gently. The legacy of the Star Emperor and the Thunder Emperor was something Mo Wen had only grasped bits and pieces of, and he had barely scratched the surface of it.
But now that he was about to break through to the Tide Changing Realm, he was qualified to properly cultivate the Thunder Emperor and Star Emperor’s remarkable power.
Time flowed like water. Five years had passed in the outside world, but Mo Wen had already experienced 500 years in the Junior Master’s Pagoda.
500 years of quiet cultivation and consolidation and he finally struck a firm foundation for the Primordial Soul Real. He was now ready to take on the Tide Changing Realm.
After 16 days, Mo Wen was officially a Tide Changing Realm cultivator. No one knew how powerful he was when he broke through to the Tide Changing Realm cultivator, nor did anyone know how powerful he was now. This was because he had not left the Junior Master’s Pagoda at all since he stepped in. Other than the few occasions where he had had to guide Wang Yinru and Pei Fengwu, he spent almost all of his time on the third floor of the Junior Master’s Pagoda.
