Invincible Kungfu Healer-Chapter 968 - Ancient Land of Creation
Chapter 968: Ancient Land of Creation
Mo Wen had not imagined that Mo Qingge would make a request of him. A person of such high status as her would not be lacking any treasures, right?
Seemingly noticing Mo Wen’s incredulity, Mo Qingge plainly said, “The Spiritual Transforming Pearl can only be found in the Creation Pool. One can only stumble upon it. Although the Huatian Palace controls the Path of Creation, the treasures in it are not easily obtained. The Path of Creation has existed since the Ancient Age. There are many secrets within it. The Huatian Palace only controls the entrance into it.”
“Wouldn’t it be dangerous there?” Mo Wen asked in surprise. If he were to simply enter an ancient place that even the Huatian Palace had not fully explored, he most likely would not even know how he would end up dying inside there.
“There are certainly dangers lurking within there. Every year, people die there, but it is not as frightening as you imagine. The Huatian Palace has not been able to get a grasp of the situation within there because cultivators of the Primordial Soul realm and above cannot enter the place. After so many years, our intel on the Path of Creation has only come from those ordinary cultivators who entered to train.”
Mo Qingge spoke plainly. Back then, the Path of Creation was a special place during the Ancient Age. Usually, cultivators of the Primordial Soul realm and above could not enter it. As for those who wanted to enter with their cultivation forcefully, it was only possible with cultivation at the Path Integration realm. However, it was impossible for there to be an existence at the Path Integration realm in the entire Source World.
“Those with high cultivation cannot enter!” Mo Wen drew a deep breath. He had always believed that the Huatian Palace had set a rule that those with cultivation higher than the Primordial Soul realm could not enter. Only now did he know that it was because of a particularity of the Path of Creation.
To have such particularity, it was clear that there was more to the Path of Creation than met the eye.
“The center of the Path of Creation is the Creation Pool. The Creation Pool is suppressing the entire ancient land. Once someone with cultivation higher than the Primordial Soul realm enters, the Creation Pool will release its power to suppress them, as well as absorb all the cultivation of those who enter.”
Because of this Creation Pool, people with cultivation like hers would end up with their cultivation crippled if they entered brazenly.
“You have yet to break through to the Primordial Soul realm. For you, the Path of Creation is a heaven-sent opportunity. If you can enter the Creation Pool and break through to the Primordial Soul realm inside, your life will have extraordinary meaning.
“There was once a Huatian Palace Grand Palace Lord who was a native of the Source World. He entered the Path of Creation and broke through to the Primordial Soul realm in the Creation Pool, obtaining the Power of Creation of Heaven and Earth. From that moment forth, his path of cultivation was smooth sailing. Not only did he become the Huatian Palace Grand Palace Lord, in the end, he even broke through to the Divine Illusionary realm and headed to the Spirit Realm.”
It was not easy for a member of the Source World to want to enter the Spirit Realm. The Spirit Realm had certain rules. Those who could not meet its criteria could not ascend to the Spirit Realm.
If one did not want to meet those requirements and still wanted to ascend to the Spirit Realm, there was only one other way, and that was to break through to the Divine Illusionary realm.
There could not be a Divine Illusionary realm existence in the Source World.
As for the Huatian Palace Grand Palace Lord, they were usually cultivators that came from the Spirit Realm. They bore huge responsibilities and could not simply leave.
“What is the Power of Creation of Heaven and Earth?” Mo Wen blinked. In terms of knowledge and exposure, even a hundred of him could not compare with Mo Qingge.
“The Power of Creation is a miraculous power that contains the Heavenly Path’s Power of Creation. If you can obtain the Power of Creation, your path of cultivation will surely be less bumpy. By the way, didn’t you cultivate the Tai Chi Purple Light? The Tai Chi Purple Light is a miraculous power that contains the Heavenly Path of Tai Chi. It is similar to the Power of Creation.”
Mo Qingge looked at Mo Wen with a somewhat bizarre gaze. Be it the Power of Creation or the Tai Chi Purple Light, they were all things that one could only come across but never find intentionally. Mo Wen was but a mere cultivator and he had actually obtained such a power. Countless people would die of envy at his good fortune.
“What item is the Spiritual Transforming Pearl?” Mo Wen asked curiously. An item that even Mo Qingge wanted would most likely be extraordinary.
“The Spiritual Transforming Pearl.”
Mo Qingge fell silent and then slowly said, “Actually, the Spiritual Transforming Pearl is in the Creation Pool. However, even if you enter into the Creation Pool, the chances of you obtaining the Spiritual Transforming Pearl is not even one in 10,000.”
She did not hope for Mo Wen to be truly able to obtain the Spiritual Transforming Pearl. She was just mentioning it. Since the Middle Ages, the Spiritual Transforming Pearl had only appeared once in history.
“That thing seems to be rather important to you?”
Mo Wen softly said. He was not surprised by the difficulty of obtaining the Spiritual Transforming Pearl. Mo Qingge would not have requested his help otherwise. However, although it was very difficult to obtain and the chances of doing so were even slimmer than winning the lottery, Mo Qingge had still told him about it. This meant that this item was rather important to her.
“If I have the Spiritual Transforming Pearl, I might be able to live a few centuries longer. If not…” Mo Qingge smiled faintly and did not continue speaking.
Upon hearing this, Mo Wen’s heart trembled, saying, “Is this related to the Massacre’s Host?”
He couldn’t think of other reasons that would cause Mo Qingge to be so pessimistic.
“Hmm. It was purely by luck that I was able to survive the Massacre’s Host triggering last time. I will most likely not be able to make it through next time.”
Mo Qingge nodded. She knew her body best. Once the time had come, she might choose to destroy herself.
“Roughly how long do you have before the next occurrence?”
Mo Wen asked. He noticed that Mo Qingge’s condition was different from that of Mo Dong’er. Mo Dong’er’s sickness would be triggered once a year, but clearly, Mo Qingge’s wasn’t. It was because it had almost been a year since Mo Qingge’s occurrence last time, but right now, Mo Wen did not sense any massacre aura from her. It was very different from last time when they first met, where he could sense her massacre aura from faraway.
However, Mo Qingge was an immortal cultivator with deep and rich cultivation, whereas Mo Dong’er was just a mortal. It was normal for the two of them to be in different situations. Mo Qingge could rely on her own cultivation and suppress the Massacre’s Host for a very long time.
“At most, 50 years.”
Mo Qingge replied emotionlessly. Originally, her Massacre’s Host would only be triggered once every century. However, last time, in order to tackle Emperor Wu You, she had used the power of the Massacre’s Host. It caused the incubation period to be shortened by half.
Mo Wen nodded, saying no more. For cultivators like Mo Qingge, 50 years passed by with a snap of a finger.
The Spiritual Transforming Pearl! If it were possible, he would surely get it. Mo Qingge had helped him a lot; he had no other way of repaying her kindness other than obtaining the Spiritual Transforming Pearl for her.
“The four of them entered the Path of Creation five days ago. You should not wait any longer. Let’s go now.”
With a wave of her sleeve, Mo Qingge and Mo Wen disappeared from their original spots.
The Path of Creation was an ancient land in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. It was quite far away from the Huatian Palace Headquarters. However, there was a teleporting stratagem that connected the Huatian Palace Headquarters directly to the Path of Creation. Hence, it didn’t take them long to reach there from the Huatian Palace Headquarters.
After the dizziness had passed, Mo Wen’s vision became clear once again.
Mo Wen discovered that he had been teleported to the foot of a mountain. The mountain before him was at least 10,000 meters tall. The peak was hidden among the clouds; commoners could not see the top at a glance. However, Mo Wen could see that on top of the mountain, there was a city. The surrounding was covered with snow, yet the city stood alone, unaffected by the wind and frost.
“Head forth. There will be some obstacles along the way, but you can get rid of them easily. The entrance of the ancient land is located at the city on top of the mountain.”
At the foot of the mountain, Mo Qingge stopped, showing no intention of sending Mo Wen up the mountain.
In reality, the trial had begun. The path going up the mountain was not smooth, and it consisted of various obstacles set by the Huatian Palace. Only by passing those obstacles could one enter the ancient land.
The reason why the Huatian Palace had set up the obstacles was to prevent those who weren’t qualified to enter the ancient land and die in vain.
“Farewell!”
Mo Wen saluted Mo Qingge with his fists, and then he moved up the mountain with large steps. Before this, Mo Qingge had given him a jade inscription with all the detailed information about the Path of Creation written on it. From now on, he could only rely on himself.
Along the way, Mo Wen had encountered some powerful demonic beasts, some puppets, and some traps and stratagems.
However, Mo Wen’s cultivation was high. He could pass through all these assessments with a wave of his hand. After all, these assessments were designed to defeat practitioners with ordinary cultivation. Almost everyone with Martial Arts Grandmaster cultivation would certainly be able to pass through.
In an instant, Mo Wen had appeared at the entrance on top of the mountain.
“You are Mo Wen? Follow me.”
An elder in grey robes appeared without a trace in front of the city gate. He glanced at Mo Wen, then he turned around to walk through the city gate.
Mo Wen saluted the elder politely with his fists, then he followed him into the city.
“Young man, are you willing to make a deal with me?” the elder in grey robes asked as he moved forward.
Mo Wen looked slightly surprised at the elder in grey robes. A deal? Could it be that this was also related to a treasure in the Path of Creation?
“Senior, if you need something from me, just ask.”
Mo Wen replied respectfully. Even though his cultivation was not high, his senses were sharp. The elder in grey robes before him emanated a mysterious aura.
“You are rather smart. No wonder that little girl Mo Qingge places high hopes on you.” The elder in grey robes nodded.
Mo Wen was shocked. That little girl Mo Qingge? Few in the Huatian Palace dared to call Mo Qingge such a title. Who was this elder exactly?
“The other young lads have entered into the Path of Creation, so I will not stall your time here. Take this. My deal with you is written in it in detail. If you successfully complete it, the item will belong to you. If you don’t, then you will return it to me when you come out.”
The elder in grey passed a little pouch to Mo Wen; it was only the size of a palm. Mo Wen could tell by a glance that it was a storage sack.
“I will read it in detail later.” Mo Wen received the pouch carefully. Mo Wen had no idea why the elder would approach him, but since the elder mentioned Mo Qingge, most likely, he meant no harm.
Just now, when the elder mentioned Mo Qingge, he didn’t bring up her name just for fun. Clearly, Mo Qingge had introduced Mo Wen to him. Hence he chose to approach Mo Wen.
The entrance to the ancient land was a space swirl. As soon as Mo Wen entered the swirl, he disappeared immediately.
“He is so young, and he has mastered the Tai Chi Purple Light. I am so envious of him. If I had also mastered the Tai Chi Purple Light back then, most likely, the result would be different.”
The elder in grey robes lamented as he stared at Mo Wen’s silhouette.
