575 A Complete Transformation (1/2)
Mo Wen had a hundred questions about the perfectly preserved corpse. What was it that could keep a corpse so fresh and prevent it from corroding over a 10,000-year period? Moreover, the corpse was simply sitting over there, without any special techniques or methods of preservation.
If the old man really hailed from 10,000 years ago, there could only be one possibility. It must be the case that his flesh was immortal and could not corrode.
Flesh of such level could only belong to a truly exceptional master. Only people with great magical power could achieve such a feat. For example, the Sect Leader of Divine Pill Sect, where Mo Wen had been in his last life, would probably have flesh that would not corrode after 10,000 years.
Of course, these sort of bodies that would not corrode after 10,000 years were very relative. Perhaps after another few thousand years, they would corrode.
All of a sudden, Mo Wen noticed the two shining tail feathers floating above the old man's head. They looked very similar to the crimson gold tail feather. It was just that their colors were different. Other than that, their outer appearance was the same and they were even of the exact same length.
”That is…” Instantly, Mo Wen realized that those tail feathers could be two of the tail feathers from the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan.
The Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan had seven tail feathers. They had all been dispersed and nobody knew of their whereabouts. However, no one had expected that two of them would be in the main hall.
When Mo Wen looked at those two tail feathers, he felt a certain feeling overwhelm him. The crimson gold tail feather suddenly broke free of his hands and emanated a crimson gold ray of light. Then, it fiercely collided with the two tail feathers above the old man's head.
Almost simultaneously, the two tail feathers that were each green and blue emitted rays of light. The three rays of light gleamed with radiance as they merged together. In the blink of an eye, they had formed a three-colored swirl. The three tail feathers were levitating above the swirl as they danced continuously, releasing eye-catching and colorful rays of light.
Mo Wen was now certain that the green and blue tail feathers belonged to the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan.
However, Mo Wen did not expect that the three-colored swirl would actually fly over in his direction with a whizzing sound, immediately trapping him.
Mo Wen got a shock and sensed that something was not right. Immediately, he tried to dodge it. However, a frighteningly strong force had clamped down from above his head. Immediately, he lost control of his body and could not even move an inch.
”What is going on?” His expression changed slightly. Why were the three tail feathers pointed at him all of a sudden?
However, he no longer had the luxury of time to think. A scary pain started to invade every corner of his body. It was as though there was some force tearing his body apart. Even with his perseverance and tolerance, he had almost fainted from the pain.
The mass of the three-colored swirl engulfed Mo Wen's body and spun crazily. With every swirl it made, Mo Wen's body was wrecked once more. The frightening pain was constantly traveling to his cranial nerves as it became stronger and stronger. In the end, he could no longer control his thoughts. Subconsciously, he let out a blood-curdling scream.
It felt as though he had landed in hell. The intensity of the pain he was experiencing could not be handled by the average person, and they would have died immediately. Every minute and second felt like an eternity.
Mo Wen did not know how much time had passed, but at last the frightening pain began to decrease gradually. The three-colored swirl began to disperse slowly into the air before disappearing completely.
Mo Wen lay on the ground and still had not recovered up even after a long while. He had been stripped entirely of his clothes. The strong pull of the force he was under had converted them into minuscule particles.
Mo Wen was completely naked and looked extremely pathetic. However, his skin looked just like that beautiful jade. It was fair and tender and was actually emitting gentle glows. It no longer looked like flesh, but rather a piece of beautiful jade.
”Damn it, I thought I would die.” Mo Wen let out a huge sigh. His experience beforehand had simply been a nightmare for him. If he could choose, he would definitely not have wanted to experience it. He did not understand why such a thing had happened. He simply felt as though his brain was still completely muddled.
After a full hour, Mo Wen could finally pick himself up. He looked for some clothes from his storage ring to change into. His clothes from before could no longer be found.
”Eh, what's going on!” While he was getting changed, Mo Wen finally noticed the change that had happened to his body. His skin had become as tender and supple as an infant's. Moreover, he seemed to harbor a very strong power within him. He felt as though with his current power, he could easily knock out an ancient martial art practitioner with the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm with just one punch.
The power in his body was very odd and he could not find an explanation for it. However, he just felt power exuding from him.
Without another word, Mo Wen immediately sat down cross-legged. He focused his energy and looked inside himself, checking up on his own body. Suddenly, he realized just how vigorous his Qi and blood had become. It was simply unbelievable. It could actually be compared to that of a Seventh level monstrous beast. It was the ultimate intensity of power, and it felt as though he could even lift a small mountain with one hand.
After quite a bit of time had passed, Mo Wen finally snapped out of his internal vision and opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with surprise and shock. He had actually gone through another round of complete transformation. His current body had essentially surpassed that of any other ancient martial art practitioner.
Even an entire ancient martial art sect would not be able to compare to him as long as they did not train their mortal bodies. The strength of his current body gave him the confidence to face everything head-on. He even had the confidence to take a direct punch from an ancient martial art practitioner with the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm.
