575 A Complete Transformation (2/2)
”Such a powerful mortal body.” Mo Wen was overwhelmed with all kinds of emotions. He had not imagined that all of this would actually be a blessing in disguise. The complete transformation had not just given him a stronger mortal body; it also provided him with the potential to develop his talent further. That was because the mortal body served as the foundation for everything else.
Mo Wen was still utterly confused about what had happened. However, he knew that it definitely had something to do with those three tail feathers. He did not know what exactly those three tail feathers from the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan had done to him. However, it did not seem like a bad thing. Moreover, it appeared to even be an unexpected blessing.
Mo Wen scanned his surroundings and noticed that those three tail fathers had fallen to the ground at his feet. The three tail feathers were magnificent and colorful, in gold, green and blue.
Subconsciously, Mo Wen picked up the three tail feathers. As his hand touched those tail feathers, a lot of information suddenly rushed into his brain. In a moment, he understood everything that had happened.
The three tail feathers of the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan had automatically identified him as their owner and chosen him as the successor of the Inferno Star Lord. Hence, they deemed him worthy of inheriting the teachings of the Inferno Star Lord.
Everything that had happened beforehand was training. It had also served as a test. If he lacked tolerance and fainted under the delivering of power from the tail feathers, he would have disappeared from the surface of the earth, just like his clothes had done.
”Such a close shave.” Mo Wen would never have expected that the test would not allow him to descend into a state of unconsciousness, or indeed that it could have killed him. In reality, the pain that he had experienced had exceeded his tolerance. However, his undying attitude and stubbornness had prevented him from giving up and meant that he had made it through.
”Senior, although I simply became your successor by chance, if it is possible, I will definitely find all the remaining tail feathers of the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan.”
Mo Wen walked over to the old man who was seated cross-legged below the divine image and he bowed deeply. It was then that he knew that this old man was actually the owner of this palace, the Inferno Star Lord. 10,000 years ago, the Inferno Star Lord had already died. The only thing remaining was his mortal body. His mortal body had not corroded, even after such a long time. Hence, the Inferno Star Lord definitely had been an incredible presence back in his time.
Moreover, Mo Wen realized that this Inferno Star Lord was actually as average as him. He had no spiritual roots but was of exceptional talent in martial arts. Through the way of martial arts, he had succeeded in becoming immortal. However, he had originated as a pure ancient martial art practitioner.
The path that the Inferno Star Lord had taken was the exact one Mo Wen hoped to take. Being his successor was much more important to Mo Wen than being Ji Wuya's successor. However, it was a pity that right now, Mo Wen could not truly be his successor. That was because he could only truly become the Inferno Star Lord's successor after gathering all the seven tail feathers of the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan.
Before the Inferno Star Lord had passed away, he had sealed his inheritance within the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan. Later, nobody knew why but the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan had been split into seven parts and its locations were all unknown.
Currently, there were three tail feathers of the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan in Mo Wen's possession. However, the location of the remaining pieces was unknown. It was even possible that they had slipped into the gaps of space.
Mo Wen's ability was not enough to allow him to find all the tail feathers within a short period of time.
The tail feathers had the ability to sense one another, and Mo Wen already had three of them in his possession, which meant that he had a good chance of detecting the other tail feathers. However, it would only be possible to detect them from a distance if his cultivation was sufficiently high. Otherwise, he could only hunt down the rest of the tail feathers based on simply sensing them if he were an Immortal Cultivator. Those steps were currently simply too far away for Mo Wen to achieve.
However, although he was unable to receive the full inheritance of the Inferno Star Lord, Mo Wen had still gained some things. The Inferno Star Lord appeared to have already anticipated such a situation. Hence, he had sealed a type of rite of passage martial arts in each and every one of the tail feathers, as well as his revelations in beginning his immortal cultivation by practicing martial arts.
The rite of passage martial arts were the martial arts that ancient martial art practitioners would cultivate along their path of development after becoming Immortal Cultivators.
That type of ancient martial arts was called the rite of passage martial arts. They were on a par with the remarkable powers that Immortal Cultivators cultivated, and had very powerful, earth-shattering abilities.
They were no longer on the same level as the average ranked martial arts. Even the Heaven and Earth Great Shift could not be compared to the rite of passage martial arts.
The Inferno Star Lord had trained in martial arts all his life and collated all that he had learned. He then created a type of remarkable power that was called the Seven Glorious Infernos.
The Seven Glorious Infernos was a combination of the essence of the Inferno Star Lord's lifetime. It had been created in the last days of his life and was renowned across the world of Immortal Cultivators back then.
There was one of the seven Glories hidden in each and every tail feather. Mo Wen had three tail feathers in his possession, which meant that he had inherited three out of the seven Glories.
The Seven Glorious Infernos included the Glory of Thunder, the Glory of Wind, the Glory of Cloud, the Glory of Sun, the Glory of Moon, the Glory of Star and the Glory of Divinity.
He did not know why but the three tail feathers had imparted to him the Glory of Thunder, the Glory of Wind and the Glory of Cloud. However, they did not impart the higher-leveled martial arts like the Glory of Sun, Glory of Moon and Glory of Star.
Out of the Seven Glorious Infernos, the Glory of Thunder, Glory of Wind and Glory of Cloud formed the foundations. The subsequent Glory of Sun, Glory of Moon, Glory of Star and Glory of Divinity were the rarer great magical powers.
