Chapter 782: Cold Spiritual Water

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Mo Wen knew that those people were probably the immortal cultivators of this world. They were probably immortal cultivators above the Primordial Soul Realm.

Immortal cultivators beneath the Primordial Soul Realm might be called immortal cultivators but they had yet to start on the Way of Immortals. There was still a chasm between them and the immortal cultivators of the Primordial Soul Realm. This was certainly the case for Nangong Mingzhu and Chu Yuan. While they were extremely powerful, some extremely powerful warriors could go against them. In terms of combat ability, warriors were no weaker than immortal cultivators of this level.

In actual fact, amongst immortal cultivators, those who could ascend the Way of Immortals and reach the Primordial Soul Realm would find it extremely difficult. It was not much different from warriors becoming immortals.

There were several realms below the Primordial Soul Realm. They were the Deified Soul Coalescing Realm, the Golden Elixir Realm, the Spiritual Embryonic Realm, the Foundation Building Realm, and the Qi Practicing Realm.

Those who were immortal cultivators right from the start needed to cultivate endlessly and take each step at a time before they could reach a high realm.

Mo Wen had tried to cultivate in immortality but in the end, he could not move forward after reaching the Foundation Building Realm. He could not help but to give up and start on cultivating in martial arts once more.

The elders in front of him were not ordinary immortal cultivators but were immortal cultivators of the Primordial Soul Realm. They were basically warriors who have become immortals.

Mo Wen did not expect Huatian Palace to deem this mission to be so important, yet they had even brought out immortal cultivators of the Primordial Soul Realm.

“There is a senate in Huatian Palace. They are all elders from the Senate,” Mo Qingtian, who was standing beside Mo Wen, explained.

“Are you also from the Senate?” Mo Wen looked at Mo Qingtian. He had long known that Mo Qingtian was not an ordinary person. He was very mysterious and was probably from the Senate. Mo Wen finally understood that Huatian Palace’s core power was not the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall but the Senate. The people in the Senate were probably immortal cultivators who were at the Primordial Soul Realm and above, or perhaps warriors who had become immortals.

“I am just a worker.” Mo Qingtian smiled and shook his head. He did not acknowledge nor deny Mo Wen’s question.

“In the Senate, there are 12 senators. These 12 people are the core of the Senate. One of the 12 veterans will take charge of this mission,” Mo Qingtian explained. They were waiting outside the cave. The time was not yet right, but they were also waiting for someone.

There were many powerhouses in Huatian Palace, and there were more than 10 veterans in the Primordial Soul Realm. However, the true person in charge had yet to appear.

Mo Wen was surprised. This mission was very important and Huatian Palace ruled Ancient Huaxia. Other than the threat they faced from the heretic forces within the country, there were also mysterious powers threatening them from abroad. A matter that required such forces was definitely grave.

“This young man is not bad. I have not seen such a talented young person in a long time.” A skinny old man who looked as if he was just a step away from the grave approached them while everyone was waiting silently. He looked at Mo Wen and took the initiative to speak with him.

“Old Man Ku Ji, why are you here?” Mo Qingtian asked with a raise of his eyebrows.

“Young man, I am Veteran Ku Ji of the senate. Everyone calls me Wise Man Ku Ji.” Old Man Ku Ji ignored Mo Qingtian but spoke with Mo Wen instead.

“Greetings Senior, from your Junior.” Mo Wen did not dare to be impolite to such an old man and he put his hands together to greet him.

“Are you interested in becoming my student? My cultivation levels are high in the Senate, and I rank in the top 50. With my help, you will be able to do well and become an immortal,” Wise Man Ku Ji said with a smile. He looked like a kind elderly person.

Mo Wen looked at Mo Qingtian. He did not know what the old man was up to. He did not believe that such a good thing would happen out of nowhere. The old man wanted to take him as a student just because he had talent and was willing to nurture him?

He had been to the immortal cultivation world and knew some things about it. Perhaps regular warriors would often see a talented youth and take them as a disciple. However, this rarely happened with immortal cultivators. That was because the circumstances and ideologies in both worlds were different. Regular warriors would at most live a few hundred years and thought of legacy as very important. However, it was different in the immortal cultivation world. Once a person cultivated and broke into the Primordial Soul Realm, their lifespan would exceed the limit of that of a human being. They would be able to live for five or six hundred years with no problem.

There were many times when disciples in the immortal cultivation world would die before their masters. As such, immortal cultivators did not see legacy as very important. Unless the immortal cultivator was getting old and about to pass away without an exceptional heir, they would not be in a hurry to find someone to inherit their mantle.

It was meaningless for an immortal cultivator of the Primordial Soul Realm to have many disciples. His true heir would be the person who would get his Primordial Soul pearl.

“Old Man Ku Ji’s cultivation has already reached the peak of the Primordial Soul Realm. His position in the Senate is not low either. However, the man’s intentions are not pure. Mo Wen, you’d better think wisely before you act,” Mo Qingtian said with a smile. He did not give Old Man Ku Ji any respect at all.

“Mo Qingtian, how dare you take three of my thunder stones. When are you going to return them?”

Mo Qingtian’s expression turned icy cold and Old Man Ku Ji immediately turned to look at Mo Qingtian in an unfriendly manner. He stretched out his hand in front of Mo Qingtian, his expression seeming to suggest that he wanted to hurry Mo Qingtian into return his things.

Cough cough!

Mo Qingtian coughed awkwardly. He pretended to be looking at the stars in the sky as if he had not heard the old man.

“Young man, you can consider this. I am a practical person and everyone in Huatian Palace knows this. If you become my disciple, you will have a bright future. It is possible that you might surpass me.” Old Man Ku Ji tried to sell himself.

“Mo Wen, this old man has as many as 50 disciples, and he does not really take care of them. In the beginning, he would just give them some benefits and that’s it. His disciples are usually unable able to find him. He only appears before his disciples when he needs help. He might make it sound nice now, but he would only look for you when he needed your assistance. And if there’s nothing going on, having a master like him is as good as not having one. You can consider what choice you are going to make,” Mo Qingtian said coldly. He knew very well what the old men in the senate were like. When he had first gone to Huatian Palace, they had tried to trick him as well.

In fact, any talented young person in Huatian Palace would probably have a very powerful master. While their masters all seemed very impressive on the surface, everyone in Huatian Palace knew that they were practically useless.

“Mo Qingtian!” Old Man Ku Ji gritted his teeth angrily. As the saying goes, gifts blind the eyes. Yet, the young man seemed unaware of this.

“Senior Ku Ji, why have you come to look for me? Disregarding whether I want to become your disciple or not, if you need anything, I will definitely help you to the best of my ability.”

Mo Wen did not dare to embarrass Old Man Ku Ji as Mo Qingtian had done. After all, this old man was like a deity. Furthermore, he was also a powerful person at the peak of the Primordial Soul Realm. There were four stages in the Primordial Soul Realm: the beginning, intermediate, later and peak stage.

When Mo Wen was in the Divine Pill Sect, his alchemist was only at the beginning stage of the Primordial Soul Realm. Being at the peak of the Primordial Soul Realm was sufficient for one to become a leader in charge within the sect.

“Look, little friend Mo Wen knows how to talk. I like young men like that.”

Old Man Ku Ji liked what Mo Wen said very much and he kept nodding. At least what he said made him sound nicer than Mo Qingtian.

“Since you are so sensible, then I shan’t beat about the bush. Do you know of the Path of Creation? If you are willing to help me, I can send you to the Path of Creation once. There are many who would fight for this opportunity, and you don’t need me to tell you how precious this chance is.”

Old Man Ku Ji played with his beard, looking very much like a god. He looked extremely satisfied. To warriors, the Path of Creation was very tempting. He was not afraid that Mo Wen would reject his offer.

“Mo Wen, be careful when you are negotiating. This old man probably wants you to go to the Path of Creation to find the Fire Leaving stone. While there are many such precious stones on the Path of Creation, they are in dangerous and unpredictable areas. There are not many who can go to those dangerous areas. If you really agree, you might have to face many hazards.

“Furthermore, you are talented and a member of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall. It is not difficult for you to enter the Path of Creation. Don’t be tricked by him,” Mo Qingtian said with a smile. He knew what Old Man Ku Ji was up to. He could see some of Mo Wen’s potential and Old Man Ku Ji would definitely be able to as well. Otherwise, he would not have come forth to search for Mo Wen personally.

While there were many opportunities to be had on the Path of Creation, it was unpredictable and dangerous. It would not be easy to search for the Fire Leaving stone. Otherwise, Old Man Ku Ji would not have come to look for Mo Wen and could have asked anyone else for help.

There were some treasures on the Path of Creation that the old men in the senate were drooling over. However, while they had the right to nominate a person to enter the Path of Creation, they could not enter themselves. The Path of Creation could only be entered by warriors who had not yet become immortals or immortal cultivators who were below the Primordial Soul Realm.

“Hrumph, you do know quite a bit of information. I do need a Fire Leaving stone urgently.”

Old Man Ku Ji harrumphed coldly. He knew that Mo Qingtian was helping Mo Wen, so he could not trick Mo Wen. As such, he said simply, “Little friend Mo Wen, I have an opportunity to nominate someone to enter the Path of Creation once every ten years. I can help you enter the Path of Creation without any conditions. If you can find a Fire Leaving stone on the Path of Creation and give it to me, I will reward you greatly.”

“Old Man Ku Ji, I heard you received a bottle of Cold Spiritual Water. This object would be helpful to Mo Wen and is worth the price of a Fire Leaving Stone. If you want to use something to exchange for the stone, the Cold Spiritual Water would be perfect,” Mo Qingtian said lightly.

“Mo Qingtian, how did you know that I have a bottle of Cold Spiritual Water?” Old Man Ku Ji’s expression changed slightly when he heard that. How did the rascal know about this secret? This was odd!

“Mo Wen, the Cold Spiritual Water is very helpful to the human body and can help a warrior to change from inside out. Their physical body will also receive an upgrade. With the help of the Cold Spiritual Water, your current physical strength will increase. You might be undefeatable to those weaker than martial arts grandmasters just based on your physical body alone. Furthermore, you have absorbed a large amount of vital Qi. Some vital Qi cannot be absorbed due to the nature of your body. However, your body will change due to the Cold Spiritual Water and this Qi could be absorbed secondarily. If you use it at the peak of the Golden Elixir Realm, you might very possibly surpass the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm.”

Mo Qingtian was worried that Mo Wen did not know the value of the Cold Spiritual Water and explained it to him.
