Chapter 921: The Soul Potion

Mo Wen walked out from the deep starry sky. Although he had eventually been kicked out of the Goddess’s World, the process was mild, and he had returned to this world unwittingly.

“Mo Wen.” Mo Qingge raised the corner of her lips slightly, revealing a smile. The amount of time spent by Mo Wen in the Goddess’s World was out of the ordinary, and she had been worried that something had happened to him. By the looks of it, even if there had been any unforeseen circumstances, they would have been something good. After all, the longer a person stayed in the Goddess’s World, the more benefits one could gain.

“I’m very puzzled. How did you manage to stay in the Goddess’s World for so long? Although it was only two weeks out here, it must have been more than ten years in the Goddess’s World,” Mo Qingtian curiously. He had entered the Goddess’s World once but was kicked out after a mere three years. Mo Wen had achieved something which he was not able to.

“Met with some opportunities.”

Mo Wen gave a little smile. Anything was possible in the Goddess’s World, so his vague explanation was plausible. He would not mention anything about Gong Biluo as no one in Huatian Palace was aware of the existence of anyone staying in the Goddess’s World.

Even though Huatian Palace was in control of the Goddess’s World to a certain extent, there was a limit to their control. The mysterious Goddess’s World had never been completely controlled by anyone before. Gong Biluo had entered the Goddess’s World through other means, and Huatian Palace had no idea about this at all.

In order to protect Gong Biluo, Mo Wen would never reveal this to anyone.

“As long as you are back safely,” Mo Qingge said indifferently. Since Mo Wen did not want to say much, she was also not interested in probing further. At the end of the day, opportunities involved many secrets which one would normally not reveal to others.

“Thank you Lady Qingge, for blessing me with this good fortune. However, the Colored Divine Stone is too valuable. I can’t accept this gift.”

Mo Wen took out the Colored Divine Stone and tossed it over to Mo Qingge. He was already very happy to have had such an encounter due to the Colored Divine Stone. There were only a few pieces of Colored Divine Stones in all the worlds. He would not accept such a valuable item for no reason.

Furthermore, he had used it before, and it would be useless to keep it with him. It did occur to him that he could use the Colored Divine Stone to benefit the people around him, but he gave up the thought upon careful consideration. Ultimately, the Goddess’s World was controlled by Huatian Palace, so it would not be right for him to keep sending people in. Besides, taking the Colored Divine Stone without returning would make him more indebted. While Mo Wen had lent Mo Qingge a helping hand in the past, Mo Qingge had helped him even more.

Mo Qingge looked at the Colored Divine Stone in her hands and gently smiled. “You’re very generous. Although the Colored Divine Stone can only be used once by each person, it’s priceless.” The Colored Divine Stone was a priceless item among the worlds, something that could not be easily obtained. Even the Divine Soul would pay a hefty price to buy it if anyone was willing to trade.

Mo Wen was clear about the value of the Colored Divine Stone, yet he was willing to return to its owner. His generosity was unparalleled.

“I’ve stayed in the Goddess’s World for such a long time! Have I already missed the Martial Arts Circle Convention?” Mo Wen asked.

After the Heaven List Tournament, the Martial Arts Circle Convention was held among the major sects. It was a competition of powers among the sects. It was impossible for Dafang Sect to have any outstanding performance in the Martial Arts Circle Convention if Mo Wen was absent.

After all, with the participation of the Hidden martial arts strain, other sects had no chance to shine in the Martial Arts Circle Convention.

“Dafang Sect participated in the Martial Arts Circle Convention, but without you and Gu Jingman, it has already been eliminated by some other more powerful sects,” Mo Qingge explained.

According to her original plan, Mo Wen would have just been in time to participate in the Martial Arts Circle Convention when he came out from the primeval space. No one had expected the unforeseen delay. Without Mo Wen, there was no way for Dafang Sect to compete against the sects from Hidden martial arts strain.

“Gu Jingman hasn’t left the Goddess’s World yet?” Mo Wen was taken aback. He had stayed for a long time in the Goddess’s World, but Gu Jingman stayed even longer than him. Did she have some unexpected encounters?

“Until now, Gu Jingman has yet to come out. I guess she must have had some lucky encounters. The Nine Layer Space differs from the primeval space. The primeval space strictly limits the time that anyone can spend inside to three years, but the Nine Layer Space does not have this restriction, and one can stay as long as they want inside according to their ability. The stronger the person is, the longer they can stay. In theory, one can stay inside forever if they are strong enough, but no one has been able to do that so far.”

The Nine Layer Space was different from the primeval space. The Nine Layer Space was a place where archaic creatures were locked up. Later on, it was used by the Sacred Heart Lady to train the Immemorial Demon Clan. Hence, there were many tests and stages. The more powerful the person was, the longer they could stay in the space and reap more benefits. Gu Jingman had yet to appear, which showed that she was strong enough to pass through various tests and was capable of staying longer in the Nine Layer Space.

Actually, among those who had entered the First Layer Space before, some were eliminated on the first day; some on the second day, and none lasted till the third day. Only Gu Jingman managed to persevere till now, and she had entered the Seven Layer Space, where the test was much tougher compared to the First Layer Space.

“I didn’t think she would be so powerful.” Mo Wen let out a sigh. As expected, a person’s background still mattered a lot in this world. Gu Jingman, who had obtained the Blood God’s heritage, was able to surpass him effortlessly. She might be able to surpass generations.

“Are you jealous?” Mo Qingge peered at Mo Wen, baffled. She wondered why she felt a tinge of jealousy in his voice.

“Why would I be jealous?” Mo Wen rolled his eyes, refusing to admit it.

“She was already more powerful than you. Now that she’s out from the Seven Layer Space, I’m afraid she’ll be even stronger than before. The gap is going to get bigger and bigger.”

Mo Qingge sighed while shaking her head, purposely teasing Mo Wen.

“Not necessarily, unless she can break through to the sacred level as it’s known by the Westerners.” Mo Wen laughed, not expecting Mo Qingge to have such a side to her. Probably in the past, there had been a gap between him and Gu Jingman, but that might not be the case now. Ever since he had come out from the primeval space, Mo Wen was also uncertain of his own ability, but he was sure that any normal martial arts practitioner would not be his match. Even if he were to meet some of those ordinary skilled from the immortal practice realm, he might not be scared too.

“Sounds like you have benefited greatly in the primeval space.” Mo Qingge laughed it off, disregarding Mo Wen’s confidence. If he had not improved at all after staying in the primeval space for over ten years, she thought, he would be better off dead.

Just as the two were talking, a voice was heard from the deep starry sky.

“Brother Mo Wen, I as your sister have yet to break through to the sacred level, but some of the highly skilled practitioners at the sacred level might also be no match for me. You should be happy to have such a strong sister. How can you be jealous? That’s disappointing.”

Under the stars, a silhouette emerged from the darkness. It was a magnificent sight. It was as if she was the center of attention among the stars, while she appeared along with the starlights. It was none other than Gu Jingman. Just as Mo Wen ended his experience in the primeval space, Gu Jingman had also concluded hers in the Seven Layer Space.

Theoretically, one could keep staying in the Seven Layer Space, but who could do that? Moreover, her cultivation had yet to break through to the sacred level.

Gu Jingman walked out from the deep starry sky, showing a saddened face and feeling wronged. With her dashing beauty and luring aura, anyone would find her lovely and could not bear to hurt her.

Mo Wen rolled his eyes, with no intention of responding to Gu Jingman. He would not want to make things difficult for himself by arguing with a woman.

Mo Qingge and Mo Qingtian shook their heads as they thought that this pair of siblings was indeed weird.

“Just now you were unhappy that I’m stronger than you. Why don’t we compete, and I’ll show you who’s the elder sister and who’s the younger brother.”

Gu Jingman’s eyes sparkled. It had always been her dream to teach Mo Wen a lesson and establish her dignity as an elder sister.

“Fine. You’re strong, ok?” Mo Wen rolled his eyes at Gu Jingman with a face of disinterest. What was there to fight about? Whether it was a win or lose would also not spare him from all worries, so why bother?

“Since both of you have concluded your trip to the Goddess’s World, you may leave now. Being the Heaven List First and Second respectively, you ought to receive the rewards from Huatian Palace. The rewards for the others have already been given out. You are the only ones left.”

With a wave of her hands, Mo Qingge teleported herself and the others to the inner city of Dragon City. A tall tower was situated at the center of the inner city where one could have a bird’s eye view of the whole Dragon City.

“What a strong force.” Gu Jingnian was secretly shocked by Mo Qingge’s cultivation. With just a wave of her hands, she was immobilized after feeling her movements being restricted by a powerful force and then pulled here in an instant.

“What’s the reward for the Heaven List First?” Mo Wen was most interested in rewards, thinking that it should not be too bad since it was awarded by Huatian Palace.

“I’ve already prepared the rewards for both of you. Take them back, and you will find out.”

Mo Qingge took out two wooden boxes and passed them to Mo Wen and Gu Jingnian respectively. She was the sponsor of this year’s Martial Arts Circle Convention, so the reward was given out by her.

“Oh yes, the Martial Arts Circle Convention is coming to an end soon. The day after tomorrow will be the Battle of the Top Eight. As the Heaven List First, you have a special privilege, and that is to seek an opponent directly from one of the top eight sects. If you can defeat that sect, you can take over their position. But of course, you can choose to give up this privilege,” Mo Qingge said composedly before leaving.

She was offering Mo Wen a chance, and a shortcut, by telling him to challenge the top eight directly.

…

Gazing at the back of the duo as they left, Mo Qingtian suddenly gave his sister a suspicious look and asked, “Sis, now I’m suspecting that you’ve fallen for Mo Wen. There was never such special privilege for the Heaven List First, yet you’d let him get in through the back door.”

Although this was nothing too difficult for his sister, he knew that his sister would usually not bother herself with such matters. Whenever it was anything related to Mo Wen, his sister would be especially concerned. Even Mo Qingtian could feel the excessive concern that his sister had for Mo Wen.

On top of that, the reward that his sister had given to Mo Wen and Gu Jingman was way better than the original plan. Even if the Heaven List Tournament this year was a tad different from the past, it was impossible to give out such good stuff. If everyone had known the reward for the Heaven List First, probably all the top-notch competitors from the Hidden martial arts strain would have rushed to take part.

Huatian Palace was a big family with a substantial amount of wealth and assets, so it was not a big deal to give away a few precious rewards. With his sister’s status in the Senate, no one would also raise any concerns. However, by doing this, his sister was obviously being biased. If the Heaven List First was anyone else, they would definitely not have received such a reward.

“Tian’er, stop the nonsense. Do you think your sister has the right to like anyone?” Mo Qingge said with composure.

Liking someone? It was something impossible for her.

Mo Qingtian went silent instantly without continuing further. Actually, he would rather his sister really go all out to like someone.

…

“Soul potion!”

At a corner of the secret treasure chamber, Mo Wen gasped while looking at something in his hands. He did not expect Huatian Palace to give out such a valuable prize. The soul potion was so precious, not just to him who had yet to become an immortal, but even to strong martial art practitioners in the immortal practice realm. They would have fought for the potion.

He initially thought that it would be generous for Huatian Palace to give away some top-grade peculiar weapons as rewards, which would already suffice and send all martial art practitioner sects including the Hidden martial arts strain scrambling for them. The soul potion was something far more precious than any top-grade peculiar weapons. In terms of value, it was on par with spiritual treasures.

Sometimes even if you had spiritual treasures, you might also not be able to exchange them for the soul potion. This was a rare item to come by.

He had gotten to know about the soul potion through Ji Wuya. The soul potion had amazing benefits for immortal cultivators. It could strengthen their Primordial Souls and raise them by one level. As everyone already knew, when one’s cultivation reached the Primordial Soul Realm, the Primordial Soul was the hardest to practice. To achieve a breakthrough in the Primordial Soul Realm was much harder than cultivating. Many cultivators were unable to break through to the next realm for their whole lives because they were lacking in the Primordial Soul Realm.

In addition, the soul potion could also help immortal cultivators to practice the Second Primordial Soul without many risks and with a high success rate.

Mo Wen had yet to master the Primordial Soul. Neither was he an immortal cultivator above the Primordial Soul Realm. Nonetheless, the soul potion had amazing uses for martial art practitioners like him.

The reason some martial art practitioners possessed deified soul even before breaking through to the immortal practice realm was that they had owned some form of treasures which could assist them to upgrade their soul. The soul potion was one of them. One such bottle of soul potion could allow a normal martial art practitioner to master the deified soul directly and without any risks. That time, Mo Wen had risked his life in order to master the partially deified soul, yet one bottle of soul potion would have achieved the same results.

Mo Wen understood why Mo Qingge gave him a bottle of soul potion because he had already mastered over 50 percent of the deified soul. If he were to use this bottle of soul potion, he would be able to quickly master the Primordial Soul, and the power could potentially be much greater than any other martial art practitioners in the immortal practice realm.

A normal martial art practitioner possessing a complete Primordial Soul. How fearsome would that be!
