260 The Eight Great Magnum Opuses (1/2)

Mo Wen chose this practice hall for the purpose of practicing martial arts teachings.

He considered for a while that he did not have a lot of Contribution Credits on hand. In his current situation, he could only keep practicing for three or four days. If he chose a Great Hall to help his Cultivation have a breakthrough, three or four days' worth of time would not produce much of an effect.

However, this Martial Arts Meditation Hall was different. Using meditation methods, practitioners could ”extend” time 100 times longer, causing their cognition to be completely active. If they studied martial arts teachings during this time, a day of studying would be equivalent to a year of normal time.

Though, when practicing ranked martial arts, a year of studying wasn't considered much. After all, for many, practicing dozens of years would not guarantee that they could successfully practice ranked martial arts. For those whose comprehension levels were not too high, a year of studying would still not show any effect.

However, Mo Wen was different. He was once a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. His martial arts experience could not be compared to that of a normal ancient martial art practitioner. It was like how a baby that was just learning to walk would find it very difficult, but a youth who had broken his leg naturally could get out of bed and easily walk again once the leg had healed.

In reality, the martial arts teachings that Mo Wen had practiced in his past life did not need studying. He could certainly remember them clearly in his mind and readily use them.

However, the Ming Cult had many advanced martial arts teachings that Mo Wen had not studied. Due to time constraints, he had no time to practice the Ming Cult's many magnum opuses. In order to speed up the practice of his Inner Qi, he usually could only put the Ming Cult's martial arts teachings aside.

But now there was undoubtedly a favorable condition that was created for him. He could use the Martial Arts Meditation Hall time extension to have ample time to study the Ming Cult's martial arts teachings, even though two or three days' time for a normal ancient martial art practitioner was still very short and would almost certainly not have much of an effect.

However, for Mo Wen, it was enough. He could easily comprehend things he was taught and learn from analogy. He could master the essence of martial arts teachings after taking some time to understand them.

Within the empty space, there was only a futon at Mo Wen's feet. He sat on the futon, gathered his thoughts, and very quickly entered a completely meditative state.

The Ming Cult had 1,000 years of history. In its heyday, it had dominated a dynasty. The magnum opuses that it passed on from generations ago were naturally many.

Aside from the Heaven and Earth Great Shift, there were also the Tai Yang Sword, Nine Yang Finger, and Indestructible Body of Vajrapani. They were suitable for a person who was practicing the Nine Yang Divine Technique. These three martial arts teachings had all been created by the third Ming Cult cult leader. Using his peerless talent, he had created these martial arts teachings to go most suitably with the Nine Yang Divine Technique.

In terms of rank in the ancient martial arts world, they were all equal to Absolute Rank martial art teachings, and were not any lower than the Heaven and Earth Great Shift.

Under normal circumstances, generations of Ming Cult cult leaders would practice these three martial art teachings that complemented the Nine Yang Divine Technique.

Together with the Heaven and Earth Great Shift, these were the four iconic magnum opuses of the Ming Cult cult leader and were renowned throughout martial arts circles.

Back then, the Ming Cult cult leader did not play favorites, so he also created four magnum opuses for the Nine Yin Divine Technique. There were the Tai Yin Claws, Tai Yin Sword, Tai Succubus Dance, and Soul Shuddering Demonic Sound.

Generations of Ming Cult Sacred Maidens would practice these four martial arts teachings.

The two Divine Techniques and eight magnum opuses resulted in generations of Ming Cult cult leaders and Sacred Maidens being the talents of their generation. It also resulted in the legend of the cult dominating the ancient martial arts world for hundreds of years.

Regarding the practice for the Heaven and Earth Great Shift, Mo Wen had gained some experience, as he had spent quite a lot of time studying it. However, he had never really practiced the Tai Yang Sword, Nine Yang Finger, and Indestructible Body of Vajrapani. The reason was simple. It was not because he did not want to, but because he didn't have time.

Time flew by without a trace. Mo Wen kept his eyes closed throughout like a wooden puppet, sitting motionless on top of the futon.

He had no concept of time in the empty space. An instant could be a very long time; a very long time could also be an instant.

While Mo Wen was still, everything seemed to have stopped.

After who knew how long, maybe a day or maybe a few years, Mo Wen finally slowly opened his eyes. His eyes flashed with a clear light, and his pupils seemed to look much deeper than before.

He stood up with an indifferent look on his face. His expression was neither sad nor joyful. His thoughts seemed to still be immersed in the revelation he had before.

He slowly extended his hand, and a golden flame rose from his palm. The brilliant flame kept twisting and dancing like a ball of fire spirits.

”The Ming Cult's 34th cult leader was truly a grandmaster of his generation and a peerless figure in the ancient martial arts world,” Mo Wen exclaimed as he looked at the flame in his hand. He clenched his fist, and extinguished the flame within his palm.

He looked at the surrounding space, then touched the Vermilion Bird ring on his finger. A blue light from the ring suddenly enveloped him, and then he disappeared from the empty space with a flash.

Outside the Martial Arts Meditation Hall, a light flashed, and a silhouette slowly walked out of the loft.

Mo Wen looked around. The outside seemed to look exactly the same as before, as though there had been no change, but he knew that two days had quietly passed. He had spent two days practicing in the Martial Arts Meditation Hall.
