Chapter 1014: Xiang’er Reappears

As time passed, Mo Wen’s figure became more crystal-like. In the eyes of the Jade Xiu King and the Ink Scaled King, Mo Wen was becoming more and more imposing and divine.

In a far off corner of the sky, the sky was dark. The air seemed to be filled with a stench of blood and killing intent. The flora in the surroundings was mostly dark red. In the sky above, there was a huge floating city. The city was huge and seemed to enclose the entire sky. It seemed to be able to contain a world within it.

In this crimson city, there was a tall mountain. The mountain pierced straight into the heavens. One could glance at the entire world from its peak.

On the peak, a beautiful woman sat quietly with her legs crossed. The beautiful woman did not have an imposing manner and appeared to be no different from a mortal. At a glance, she seemed to be very approachable. However, if one looked closely, they would discover that by just sitting there, she was comparable to the sea immobilizing divine needle that shocked and awed the whole world. Her power spread across a radius of a hundred million miles.

“Little Stone is actually coalescing a Divine Body!”

Suddenly, the beautiful woman gradually opened her eyes. She was none other than Mo Wen’s mother.

She raised her eyebrows slightly. He was coalescing a Divine Body? What realm was Little Stone at? He was actually attempting to coalesce a Divine Body? Could this be the handiwork of that old fellow?

From the palace behind her, an absolutely beautiful woman in a white dress suddenly walked out. This woman’s skin was as white as snow and her eyes sparkled like the stars. Her physique was peerless. Once she appeared, the entire world seemed pale in comparison. She was none other than the Demon Realm’s present number one beauty, the Heavenly Fox King, Xiang’er.

After she was reborn, Xiang’er shortly made a name for herself in the Demon Realm. Her power and influence grew stronger each day. She even replaced the Heavenly Fox King in her time. She is now the Heavenly Fox King of the Heavenly Fox Clan.

“Madam, what’s up with Little Master?” Xiang’er asked softly. At her cultivation realm, her sensory ability was unparalleled. She could sense if there was a huge change to anyone related to her.

“Little Stone is attempting to coalesce a Divine Body,” Mo Wen’s mother said plainly. As Mo Wen’s mother, and having left her own imprint in his body, she naturally knew about Mo Wen’s condition like the palm of her hand.

Upon hearing this, Xiang’er was stunned. Coalescing a Divine Body? Was Little Master already so incredible?

“Madam, by right, shouldn’t it be impossible for Little Master to coalesce a Divine Body?” Xiang’er asked curiously. Even cultivating up till now, she was not one hundred percent confident that she could coalesce a Divine Body. She had made preparations to do so. How was it that the Little Master was faster than her?

“Of course, under normal circumstances, it is impossible. Even though he is cultivating in the Creation Pool, it is still impossible for him to coalesce a Divine Body. Most likely, this is the handiwork of that old fellow,” Mo Wen’s mother said after she had pondered about it for a while.

It was impossible to allow a young cultivator who had just broken through to the Primordial Soul Realm to coalesce a Divine Body. Even the Heavenly Path Sages could not have done it. But that old fellow could.

“Madam, are you referring to the Heaven and Earth trigram?” Xiang’er asked. The others couldn’t have done it; however, with the power of the Heaven and Earth trigram, it was highly possible.

“The Heaven and Earth trigram is a precious item from the Immemorial Age. Its power and mystery far surpass that of the Creation Pool. In the past, I also made use of the power of the Heaven and Earth trigram to coalesce my Divine Body.”

Right now, if one had to pinpoint a person who had the deepest understanding of the Heaven and Earth trigram from all the realms, the person would most likely be Mo Wen’s mother.

“That’s great. If Little Master can successfully coalesce a Divine Body, his ability to protect himself will surely skyrocket. In the future, it will most likely be difficult for others to kill him.” Xiang’er was excited. If the Little Master could successfully coalesce a Divine Body at the Primordial Soul Realm, his achievements in the future would surely be unfathomable. He might really be able to surpass the Old Master.

“Sigh, it is the will of the heavens. As expected, my seal cannot seal off the influence of that old fellow. His power actually managed to circumvent my seal,”

Mo Wen’s mother said somewhat helplessly.

She had already noticed that the seal that she had left in Little Stone’s body was no longer useful.

Xiang’er laughed to herself. The Old Master was a legendary figure. It was likely that he had long since predicted that madam would disturb his grand plan and had set up countermeasures. Xiang’er was well-aware that no one in this world could stop the Old Master from carrying out what he had planned.

“Since we can’t hide from it, we can only face it. Madam, regardless of whether it was in the past or right now, some things are unavoidable. In the past, Old Master had failed. But it doesn’t mean that Little Master will fail too. You thought that we can hide from it; but in reality, we have no way of retreating at all. We are trapped. If we don’t retaliate, we will surely be destroyed.”

Xiang’er was well-aware of a principle: sometimes, even though one knew that they couldn’t achieve a certain outcome, or that the result was irreversible, they would still have to carry out the plan without hesitation. It was because they were like trapped beasts. If they did not retaliate, they would surely be destroyed.

“You sure know how to talk big. But you need to examine yourself to see whether you are capable of it. Why must our family be responsible for the life and death of the world?” Mo Wen’s mother glanced at Xiang’er.

“Madam, we are not fighting alone. Didn’t we receive news from the Underworld a while ago? The God of the Underworld has returned. After a hundred years of reincarnation, perhaps the God of the Underworld has achieved greater success in the Heaven’s Path of Reincarnation. When the time comes, he will surely be a great help to us,” Xiang’er said with a smile. The God of the Underworld had returned. He was the most ancient and most powerful creature.

Mo Wen’s mother fell silent. Only after a long pause did she ask, “How’s Xiaoyou doing?”

“Xiaoyou is still cultivating at the Fallen Immortal Ridge. It has been said that she has achieved great success. She has the rare Celestial Spirit Body. Her potential is most likely above that of the Little Master. Given enough time, she will surely be able to grow to an astonishing level,” Xiang’er said with a smile.

The Celestial Spirit Body was rare even during the Immemorial Age. It was a legend among legends. Perhaps, it was befitting to call one who was born with a Divine Body a reincarnated immortal. However, those who were born with the Celestial Spirit Body could be considered the reincarnation of the king of the immortals. Besides that, the Celestial Spirit Body was not something that one could cultivate because it was on another level.

“Let’s hope that the girl can grow stronger,” Mo Wen’s mother said worriedly.

“Madam, Xiaoyou is not simple. We might have misjudged Xiaoyou based on her meek appearance. But in reality, she is an iron fist in a velvet glove. She is rather tough. She will surely perfect whatever that she has set her mind on doing.”

Xiang’er was personally in charge of training Qin Xiaoyou. Back then, Xiang’er merely said two lines: Mo Wen might die at the hands of strong foes in the future. He needed powerful assistants to aid his cause. After that, Xiang’er actually did not need to say much. For the past two years, Qing Xiaoyou had been frenziedly devoted to her cultivation. She didn’t even mention visiting her family.

“Hmm. Put more effort into training this child. She has the Celestial Spirit Body, which makes her different from others. Perhaps she can do things that others can’t.” A glimpse of motherly affection flashed in the eyes of Mo Wen’s mother. Clearly, she was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law, Xiaoyou.

“By the way, since Little Master has cultivated the Divine Body at the Primordial Soul Realm, will he attract the attention of others?” Xiang’er asked with a frown. It was not good news if the Little Master attracted the attention of certain people at such an early stage.

“Don’t worry. Since the old fellow dares to do so, he will surely hide this matter from others. It’s likely that he will seal Little Stone’s Divine Body. Besides that, with Little Stone’s current cultivation, it’s not a good thing if he masters the power of the Divine Body too quickly.”

Cultivating was like building a house. Its foundation must be strong. No matter how silly the old fellow was, it was impossible for him to let Little Stone master the power of the Divine Body at the Primordial Soul Realm.

The Divine Body was a terrifying force that could threaten even Virtue and Justice Realm cultivators. Even Xiang’er, who had been preparing for years, had yet to successfully coalesce this body.

...

In the Creation Pool, the Ink Scaled King and the Jade Xiu King stared intently at Mo Wen. They were afraid that they would miss any moment of his transformation. They both knew that they might be witnessing a miracle at play.

“That is... a Spirit Tree! Good heavens, it is actually a Spirit Tree! He actually coalesced a Spirit Tree.”

The Ink Scaled King suddenly pointed at Mo Wen’s head and cried out loudly in excitement. A small tree had appeared in Mo Wen’s crystal clear head. The tree was not big and was seemingly a mere sprout. It had a few thin twigs.

The Jade Xiu King also noticed it immediately. The expression on his face was rather pleasant.

“It is actually a Spirit Tree. Could it be that he can actually coalesce a Divine Body?”

The Jade Xiu King could not believe it. Even a Spirit Tree had appeared. Mo Wen was just one step away from coalescing a Divine Body!

Although it was just a sapling and had yet to become a towering tree, the two Great Kings knew clearly what it signified.

If a mortal wanted to cultivate immortality, they first had to possess spiritual roots. Only those who were equipped with spiritual roots could walk the Way of Immortals. Those without spiritual roots could only walk the way of martial art teachings. Although they could also begin their immortal cultivation by practicing martial arts, wanting to reach immortality was far more difficult for ancient martial art practitioners than immortal cultivators.

Mo Wen was also someone without spiritual roots. Under normal circumstances, it would also have been difficult for him to walk the Way of Immortals. However, after a series of fateful encounters, he managed to reach this stage.

Spiritual roots were the bridge that humans used to communicate with the heavens and the earth. The spiritual roots could keenly come in contact with the Power of Heaven and Earth.

On some levels, the Spirit Tree could be deemed as the source of spiritual roots. It could also be considered the predecessor of spiritual roots. No matter how pure one’s spiritual roots were, it was impossible for them to be compared to the Spirit Tree. An appearance of the Spirit Tree meant one was rising to another level. It was a whole new level for a living creature. According to legends, only immortals or the Heavenly Path Sages could coalesce a Spirit Tree.

“Once Mo Wen successfully coalesces a Spirit Tree, won’t it be a piece of cake for him to coalesce a Divine Body?” The Ink Scaled King stared at Mo Wen with his eyes wide open. Why was a Divine Body hard to coalesce? It was because before one could coalesce a Divine Body, they must first coalesce a Spirit Tree. Only a Divine Body which was equipped with a Spirit Tree could be said to be the real Divine Body.

However, the Ink Scaled King had just finished speaking when the light in Mo Wen’s body suddenly dimmed, like a candle being suddenly extinguished. His crystal-like body also returned to its normal condition, as though nothing had occurred.

“Huh? What’s happening?”

The two kings were stunned. Just now, Mo Wen had coalesced a Spirit Tree, and he was only a step away from successfully coalescing a Divine Body. Why had everything disappeared all of a sudden?

Could it be that the coalescence had failed?

Their facial expressions changed slightly. Mo Wen was just a step away from it. The last step! They were ready to witness a miracle. Could it be that Mo Wen would fail on the verge of success?

For a moment, both of them had mixed feelings. When they observed Mo Wen carefully again, they found that there were no longer anomalies on his body. He was no different from a commoner who was meditating.

A glimmer of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the Jade Xiu King and the Ink Scaled King. They also did not know what had happened. Perhaps Mo Wen had failed. But that was reasonable. The Divine Body was something that even the Virtue and Justice Realm cultivators would not necessarily be able to coalesce. It was way too difficult for Mo Wen to reach that step.
