“Young friend Mo Wen, you’re interested in that spiritual fire?” Chen Wuhui was of high status. With Mo Wen saying so, he already knew what he meant. However, although that spiritual fire was a strange treasure, it was not very easy to obtain it. Particularly as there were other ancient martial art sects in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension eyeing it at the moment, it would be a little difficult to obtain it from the hands of those people.
Hence, with regards to that spiritual fire, Intentionless Sect did not have too high a hope. In fact, they were even still considering whether or not to go ahead and fight for it. After all, Intentionless Sect had just been through a huge battle and had received quite a bit of damage. It could not withstand another huge war.
“That spiritual fire is of some use to me.” Mo Wen nodded his head slightly.
In Ji Wuya’s impartation, there were two great magical powers. The Cultivations of these great magical powers were not limited to only Immortal Cultivators. However, the conditions for Cultivation were much more stringent than that of the average immortal methods.
Other than the Divine Soul Trillion Layers, there was still the Spiritless Clean Fire that Mo Wen was not able to learn. The Cultivation method for this technique was too difficult. Moreover, it relied on the accumulation of skills over long periods of time. If Mo Wen wanted to begin to achieve it, with his current situation, a conservative estimate would be at least a thousand years. That would only be the case if he had the Flame Divine Furnace. Without the Flame Divine Furnace, he would never be able to cultivate the Spiritless Clean Fire successfully.
These were all proof of the difficulty in cultivating the Spiritless Clean Fire. It was already doubtful whether Mo Wen would be able to live to 100 years of age. Hence, he had essentially given up on the Cultivation of the Spiritless Clean Fire. That was because if he were to try to cultivate it at such a time, it would be a waste of time and there would likely be no effects. Currently, to Mo Wen, the Spiritless Clean Fire was but a white elephant. While it appeared nice and attractive, it was absolutely of no use.
However, other than the normal Cultivation method, the Spiritless Clean Fire could also be obtained by swallowing the spiritual fire created by the heavens and earth. If he was able to swallow the spiritual fire from the Tan Zi Beast Lair, the Spiritless Clean Fire would become a huge killing weapon in Mo Wen’s possession immediately.
Initially, Mo Wen wondered if something like the spiritual fire was purely imaginary. Hence, he had never thought about it in this way before. However, who would have expected that he would actually encounter it? Now that he had found it, how could he possibly let it go so easily?
“Young friend Mo Wen, our Intentionless Sect is greatly indebted to you. Since you are interested in that spiritual fire, how would you like it if Intentionless Sect proceed with you to try and obtain it?” Chen Wuhui’s meaning was very clear. The current journey was simply to assist Mo Wen. The Intentionless Sect did not have any intention of obtaining the spiritual fire for themselves. While his words were meant for Mo Wen to hear, they were also directed at the Sect Elders of Intentionless Sect.
From Mo Wen’s behavior, it was evident that the spiritual fire was very important to him; since he had already come to a decision, they would naturally aid Mo Wen wholeheartedly. Moreover, this assistance was something very important for this youth. If not, by the time he fully developed his abilities, Intentionless Sect may have even ceased to exist.
As the Sect Leader of Intentionless Sect, Chen Wuhui naturally knew when it was best to gain some bargaining chips on behalf of Intentionless Sect.
With these words of Chen Wuhui, the expressions of all the surrounding Sect Elders had changed. However, everyone shared a glance and kept their thoughts to themselves. After all, Mo Wen’s contribution towards Intentionless Sect was indeed great. It was completely reasonable for Intentionless Sect to activate everyone in helping him for once. However, it meant that whether the mission was a success or not, it was definitive that Intentionless Sect would not gain a share of the spiritual fire.
However, in the next moment, all the Sect Elders of Intentionless Sect started to see things in a different light. That spiritual fire had become so renowned such that the chances of obtaining it were not high. Hence, there was no need to be too calculative about it.
“Many thanks for the great kindness of Sect Leader Chen. However, there is a price to pay for everything. Intentionless Sect has already provided me with enough remuneration for the help that I have offered. Hence, you no longer owe me anything. If Intentionless Sect stepped in to help, I would feel guilty instead. Moreover, I am used to traveling and doing stuff as I go. I suppose I will not trouble Intentionless Sect with this issue anymore.” Mo Wen wrapped his hand around his other fist, and politely rejected the offer.
If he went along with Intentionless Sect, the journey was likely to become even more inconvenient. It was actually much more convenient for him to travel alone. Moreover, things regarding personal interests were very touchy. Although most of the people from Intentionless Sect did not have an issue at this point, it was under the circumstance of not having obtained the spiritual fire. If they had really obtained the spiritual fire successfully, they would think in another way.
Upon hearing that, Chen Zikuang rolled his eyes. What was with all that? It seemed as though Mo Wen finally knew how to be modest and courteous unlike before, where he had not exhibited any of those qualities. With those extreme conditions that Mo Wen had given Intentionless Sect, it was right to say that Intentionless Sect no longer owed him anything. After all, Intentionless Sect would belong to him in the future so they would not be able to owe him anything.
Everything that Intentionless Sect was doing at the moment was intended to rebuild the Ming Clan in the future. Intentionless Sect had such a high position and they were simply trying to amass bargaining chips for themselves. Nobody really meant to convey their gratitude.
Chen Zi rolled her eyes at Mo Wen. He did not even accept the goodwill of Intentionless Sect. Was he actually afraid that Intentionless Sect would go back on its word and fight him for the spiritual fire?
“Since young friend Mo Wen has said so, there has to be some reason behind it. I will not say any more either. Later on, I will send someone to pass you the map of the Tan Zi Beast Lair, as well as the details and situation inside.” Chen Wuhui smiled and did not force things.
“Thank you, Sect Leader Chen,” Mo Wen saluted.
Mo Wen did not stay long in the chamber of affairs. Immediately, he returned to the Cultivation room that Chen Zikuang had prepared for him and started to pack up, in his preparation to head over to Tan Zi Beast Lair. News of the spiritual fire had been relayed a couple of days ago. By now, quite a number of people must have arrived at the Tan Zi Beast Lair. If he arrived too late, others might have already taken the spiritual fire away.
“Father, Mo Wen seems to be very confident since he had rejected the help from our Intentionless Sect.” After Mo Wen left, Chen Zikuang looked over at Old Grandfather Chen. He felt a little helpless. Currently, even if they wanted to perform the kind gesture, it seemed like they no longer had the chance to.
“Such a lad, do you think he shouldn’t be so confident?” Chen Wuhui said.
Chen Zikuang was slightly shocked upon hearing that but nodded his head. He agreed a little with his father’s words. A youth like Mo Wen was truly exceptional. At the moment, he was still unable to judge the extent of his capabilities and there was no knowing just what abilities he may have hidden. If a person looked down on him just because of his age or any other aspect, even a master with the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm would not be able to get away with it.
The tragic end that had come upon Sacred Flame Sect had been orchestrated entirely by this youth. When he thought about it, Chen Zikuang would still inevitably tremble a little. If Mo Wen had been on the other side against Intentionless Sect instead, they would have been the ones that were reduced to dust.
“Father, what do we do now?” Chen Zikuang looked at Old Grandfather Chen. Chen Zi, standing nearby, looked towards him as well.
“Since Mo Wen has already gone, we naturally cannot stay in Intentionless Sect doing nothing. Although we are not coveting the spiritual fire, it is still quite a good idea to join in the fun. It has been a long time since such a large crowd had gathered in Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. After so many years, perhaps the eight major powers will gather once again... No, now it should be the seven major powers since Sacred Flame Sect is out of the picture.” Chen Wuhui was direct as he broke into laughter.
Upon hearing that, a look of joy flashed in Chen Zi’s eyes. Previously, when Mo Wen had left, she felt a sense of sadness and reluctance. Now that Intentionless Sect had also chosen to head over to the Tan Zi Beast Lair, they should be able to bump into him.
However, Chen Zikuang knew that Old Grandfather had made this decision to be wholesome in his approach. Mo Wen could reject the help of Intentionless Sect. However, he would not be able to reject their proactive assistance. Once they arrived in Tan Zi Beast Lair, if Mo Wen needed a hand, they would still be able to achieve their motive.
Mo Wen packed a little before leaving the inner city on his own. When he had just reached the exit of the city, a purple figure appeared silently before him.
“What are you doing?” Mo Wen lifted his gaze and looked at Chen Zi oddly. What had she come to do at such a time? The road leading to Tan Zi Beast Lair was especially dangerous. He did not want to bring her along.
“I have come out to send you off. What’s with that expression of yours? Don’t worry, I won’t bug you to bring me along.” Chen Zi was leading a crimson horse with her hand and walked two to three steps closer to Mo Wen, “Here, with it as a ride, you will be quite a lot faster.”
The crimson horse was very tall and big. From the horseback to the ground, the distance was two meters. The fur on its body was very long and the color was extremely vibrant. At a glance, it looked as though it was set ablaze with a layer of bright flames.
The horse’s shape was also exceptional. There was a single maroon horn on its head and its eyes were a very rare gold color. Its four limbs were muscular and were wrapped in a layer of red scales. Under the sun, it shone and looked like pieces and pieces of red rubies.
“It is called the Flaming Dragon Colt. Amongst the beasts, it is a very rare one. Moreover, it is a Fifth level monstrous beast. Although its battle power is not very strong, its speed alone will make it difficult for even an ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm to catch up to him.” Chen Zi patted the horse and his mouth curled up into a smile, “Since you gave me the Phantom Wolf Cat, I will give you this instead.”
The Phantom Wolf Cat lay on Chen Zi’s shoulder. Both its eyes were fixed on Mo Wen as it meowed, as though it was very bitter.
“A rather beautiful horse,” Mo Wen nodded his head.
Chen Zi had really been very attentive. Although he could fly, it would take up too much inner Qi and was simply not suitable if he wanted to travel very quickly. Moreover, in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, gravity was ten times stronger than the outer world. Flying quickly would simply be torture. Even an ancient martial art practitioner with the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm would not be able to do so.
Mo Wen walked in front of the Flaming Dragon Colt and prepared to pat his body. However, the horse was a little skittish. The moment it saw Mo Wen approach, it let out a neigh and lifted its front limbs up into the air. Flames shot out of its mouth continuously and its gaze was one of a serious warning as it looked at Mo Wen.
“Small Flame, don’t make a fuss. He will be your owner in future.” Chen Zi immediately patted the body of the Flaming Dragon Colt and prepared to calm it down. She didn’t expect Mo Wen to simply flip himself onto the Flaming Dragon Colt’s body. With Mo Wen’s hand stroking its head, the Flaming Dragon Colt with the explosive personality had oddly calmed down. Its gaze had become exceptionally gentle, just like a little pet.
Chen Zi was stunned for a moment. Then, she covered her mouth. Thinking about how Mo Wen had tamed the Phantom Wolf Cat before, a gentle smile found its way onto Chen Zi’s face.
“We will meet again!” Mo Wen left with that sentence as he pulled on the reins. Immediately, the Flaming Dragon Colt turned into a flame and took off.
