Chapter 606: Thousand Mile Talisman
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mo Wen did not understand why the Purple Bottle Gourd was also behaving so oddly. The gourd was a very strange item and seemed to be able to make its own decisions. Profound level weapons were not alive. It was impossible for them to have their own consciousness. What was up with the Purple Bottle Gourd?
Mo Wen held the gourd in his hands and looked at it carefully. He did not notice anything different about it. On the surface, it appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary gourd-shaped spiritual weapon. However, its earlier behavior could not be described as ordinary.
Earlier, Mo Wen had vaguely sensed that the Purple Bottle Gourd had a layer of life. However, he dared not be sure about it. Now that he was looking at it, it seemed likely that he had guessed correctly. This gourd was alive. Could it be a special monstrous beast?
Mo Wen tried to fling the Purple Bottle Gourd away. However, the gourd deftly turned around in mid-air and flew back. This time, it even snuggled up to Mo Wen.
Mo Wen looked at the Purple Bottle Gourd and scratched his head. There were some really strange things around. The Purple Bottle Gourd was a rare and powerful treasure. It was almost as good as a profound level weapon. Since it had come to Mo Wen on its own accord, then Mo Wen would not reject it. Since the treasure chose its own owner, it could only be said that Purple Qi Pavilion was not fated to own it.
Mo Wen turned to go back. Since he had taken the Purple Bottle Gourd of Purple Qi Pavilion, there was no reason not to take the Five Beast Hoops of Five Beast Sect. After all, there was no difference between offending one sect or two sects.
Collecting the Five Beast Hoops which lay scattered on the ground, Mo Wen turned to fly out of the great hall. However, he had not expected Five Beast Sects to have something up their sleeve. As Mo Wen flew about 200 meters past He Xiangyu, the bronze hoops flew out of his grasp. Each of the beasts roared loudly, echoing throughout the caves below.
“Hurmph!” Mo Wen was not pleased. He had not expected that there were mental imprints on the Five Beast Hoops. They would immediately be activated once they were a certain distance away from their owner. The Five Beast Hoops leaped into the air and were about to fly back to their original owners. However, they were, after all, non-living objects. They were just led away by the mental imprint and would be unable to avoid ending back up in Mo Wen’s possession. He reached out and caught them, holding them tightly in his hand.
Roar Roar Roar! The Five Beast Hoops would naturally not cooperate. They roared again and again as if they were sending a message.
“Five Beast Sect is indeed the most powerful sect in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. They have managed to grasp the mental imprint method. The mental imprint on the hoops must be linked to He Xiangyu. Otherwise, the reaction of the Five Beast Sect wouldn’t be so strong.” A golden glint flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. It was as if there were two golden suns appearing in his pupils and a shocking spiritual power was released. It collided forcefully into the Five Beast Hoops.
The Five Beast Hoops called out mournfully. There was a flash of light as if something had been broken. After a moment, the hoops settled down and laid quietly in Mo Wen’s hands.
Even though He Xiangyu’s mental imprint was strong, he was not as strong as Mo Wen in terms of spiritual power. Mo Wen had been able to break his mental imprint on the hoops easily.
However, the moment the mental imprint was broken, He Xiangyu shuddered. He was the owner of the mental imprint. A sudden fear rose in his heart and he jolted awake suddenly. The breaking of the mental imprint had brought He Xiangyu out of his coma.
“Little Mo Wen, I’m going to cut you into tens and thousands of pieces!” There was a terrifying roar from the great hall behind him. The voice sounded angry and was very loud. It was not any softer than the sound attacks earlier. The cave walls shook forcefully.
There was a whistling sound behind him as if there was someone in wild pursuit.
He Xiangyu found that he had not only lost connection with the Five Beast Hoops when he awoke. He immediately understood what had happened as he looked at the scene in the great hall. The Dark Soul Pearl and the Cries of Hades Bell had both disappeared. His Five Beast Hoops and Purple Qi Pavilion’s Purple Bottle Gourd had all disappeared. There were four people and a corpse puppet lying on the ground. The only person missing was Mo Wen.
Everyone had been knocked unconscious by the Cries of Hades Bell. They did not know what happened after that. However, He Xiangyu knew without thinking that Mo Wen had taken all the treasures in the great hall.
He did not know what Mo Wen had done to break his mental imprint on the Five Beast Hoops. The imprint he had left behind would have been difficult even for ancient martial arts practitioners at the peak of the Golden Elixir realm to break. Yet Mo Wen had broken it completely in such a short amount of time.
He Xiangyu roared, awaking Grandmother Hui Ling. Her cultivation levels were the highest among everyone, so she was not deeply unconscious. She knew immediately what had happened the moment she regained consciousness. She roared sadly and scolded Mo Wen before giving chase.
Mo Wen, who was already flying above the underground river smiled bitterly. He had not expected that breaking the mental imprint would cause He Xiangyu to awaken. His original plan was to slip away while everyone was still unconscious. It seemed that it was impossible now.
There were definitely people from Five Beast Sect and Purple Qi Pavilion guarding the area outside the cave. He would definitely meet them after exiting the cave. They might even stop him from leaving because of He Xiangyu’s shouts.
Mo Wen was in a poor condition right now. It was not only his body; his soul had been injured badly as well. He was in no position to fight again right now. Furthermore, Grandmother Hui Ling was very powerful, and he was no match for her at this moment. He might even die in the cave.
The shouts behind were getting nearer. There were two voices. Mo Wen knew that both He Xiangyu and Grandmother Hui Ling had been awoken. Indeed, the two had already ordered the experts of Purple Qi Pavilion and Five Beast Sect to block the entrance, stopping anyone from leaving.
Mo Wen sighed helplessly. “Such bad luck. Looks like I’ll only be to do this.” He flicked his wrist and retrieved a jade insignia from his medicine spiritual ring. It was no ordinary jade insignia. It was a spiritual talisman. Mo Wen had gotten it from the secret chamber of the Dafang Sect. It was called the Thousand Mile Talisman.
As its name suggested, it was a talisman that allowed a person to travel a thousand miles swiftly. It was the best talisman to use for running away. It would be almost impossible for anyone to catch up with him once he used the talisman.
However, the Thousand Mile Talisman could only be used in the most critical of times. It could not be used usually because it was a rare space attribute spell talisman. It allowed one to travel through space and travel a thousand miles in the blink of an eye.
This meant that a variety of incidents might happen when the talisman was used. For example, a person might end up deep inside the earth and be buried underground forever. Or those who cannot fly might fall to their deaths in mid-air. Or they might be sent to a dangerous place...All in all, one could not control where they were sent to. Perhaps immortal cultivators could control the distance and coordinates to a certain extent through some methods. However, was not always the case. As such, even Mo Wen would not casually use the Thousand Mile talisman unless he was forced to.
“It all depends on luck.” Mo Wen sighed. He knew that Grandmother Hui Ling and He Xiangyu hated him to the core. They would want to grind his bones and burn them. They had not only failed to get the Dark Soul Pearl and the Cries of Hades Bell, but they had also even lost their sect treasures that have been passed down for generations. How could they not be mad?
He activated the Thousand Mile Talisman. A faint white light glowed from the talisman which then enveloped Mo Wen. It flickered lightly and then, the light disappeared along with Mo Wen. A dark patch appeared in the sky above the underground river. And then, there was nothing.
Two rays of light came in pursuit, one after the other. They passed through the region of the underground river was and then out of the cave. They met with the warriors of Five Best Sect and Purple Qi Pavilion. However, they did not discover Mo Wen.
“Where’s that rascal Mo Wen? Where did he go? Come out here right now.” He Xiangyu raged when he realized that Mo Wen had left the cave but now was nowhere to be seen. His eyes were so wide they were the size of bronze bells. A terrifying aura rose from him. The warriors around him all shuddered and did not speak. Everyone could see that he was somewhat hysterical.
Some of the warriors who were not from Purple Qi Pavilion or Five Beast Sect all looked at the old man who had suddenly appeared with shocked gazes. The terrifying aura made even warriors of the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm tremble in fear. When had such a powerful powerhouse appeared in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension?
An even scarier aura appeared. It was an old woman. It was none other than Grandmother Hui Ling. Everyone’s expression changed when she appeared.
“Pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm! Is that the aura of a Golden Elixir Pinnacle?”
“How is that possible...When has a powerhouse with a pinnacle Golden Elixir realm cultivation ever appeared in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension!”
“Am I dreaming...”
Grandmother Hui Ling grew frantic when she did not find Mo Wen. She roared in anger. “Mo Wen, I’m going to bury you!”
Mo Wen had already in a place unknown to himself. With a flicker of white light, he had appeared in a dusty red world. Everything around him was dark red. A terrifying heat assaulted him.
Mo Wen scanned his surroundings and laughed bitterly. “Have I been transported to the underground?” What he dreaded the most had happened. He would not be able to escape now that a Thousand Mile Talisman had sent him deep into the earth unless he found a way out.
When he had activated the Thousand Mile Talisman, he had intentionally lowered his power as much as possible. In this way, the distance that the talisman would send him would not be that far and he would be able to decrease the possibility of accidents happening.
However, the coordinates were still wrong. He was not sent upwards, but downwards...
The world in front of him was a world of lava. Mo Wen floated in mid-air. The lava below gurgled like a sea of fire. This was why the entire world was a dark red color. The sky above was dark. It was evident that he was deep below the surface of the earth.
