576 Seven Glorious Infernos (1/2)
The Seven Glorious Infernos was the essence of the lifetime martial arts teachings of the Inferno Star Lord. It would be impossible for Mo Wen to learn it all in a short amount of time. In fact, he would be unable to master even one quickly. After all, it was a rite of passage martial arts. Only ancient martial art practitioners that had become immortal could practice it. Right now, he was far from qualified.
If he still insisted that he could practice it, he would most probably only be able to just about practice the basic chapters of Glory of Thunder, Glory of Wind and Glory of Cloud. He would only be able to practice the other four Glories by becoming an immortal cultivator and mastering the powers of heaven and earth.
The three tail feathers seemed to ”understand” him very well, teaching him precisely the Glory of Thunder, Glory of Wind and Glory of Cloud.
If he wanted to obtain the ability to practice another Glory, it would only be possible by finding a fourth tail feather.
”You're kidding me! The only way to leave the great hall is by learning all of the Glory of Thunder, Glory of Wind and Glory of Cloud!” Mo Wen walked around the great hall in a circle and discovered that there were no exits. He also discovered that the entrance of the great hall had been completely sealed shut. An energy light screen of seven colors enveloped the entrance. With his current ability, he could not get out at all.
The information that the three tail feathers had given him made it clear that the only way to leave this place was by learning all of the three Glories that had been passed down to him. It was another trial he needed to pass.
Learn the Glory of Thunder, Glory of Wind and Glory of Cloud? Mo Wen was not too confident. After all, they were all rite of passage martial arts. With his current ability, he was not sure whether he would even be able to practice them, let alone be enlightened to the essences of the three Glories.
After contemplating the matter for a short while, Mo Wen decided to practice the Seven Glorious Infernos in the great hall. He had no other choice.
He sat cross-legged on the floor and closed his eyes. In his mind, he quietly contemplated the way of practice that had been passed down to him by the three tail feathers.
The three tail feathers had not only passed down the way of practice for the three Glories, but also the understanding and perception of the Inferno Star Lord towards the three Glories. For Mo Wen, this would undoubtedly cause him to wander less and more easily comprehend the method of the three Glories.
Despite this, however, Mo We was still befuddled at the beginning. On the surface, it appeared very simple, but with further thought, it felt very profound. He seemed to understand it very well, but when thinking about it again, discovered that he did not understand anything.
It felt both real and unreal, as though he understood and also did not understand. He seemed to have grasped something for a second, and then could not grasp anything at all.
A mere youth facing such a situation would certainly feel frustrated, but Mo Wen did not. It was because he knew, the more frustrated he became, the more it would be impossible for him to be enlightened to such a martial arts teaching. Mo Wen had never doubted the breadth and profundity of the rite of passage martial arts. If he could not even calm his heart, he would probably not have a chance.
Mo Wen just sat there as two days and nights passed by. His figure did not move an inch. Only on the third day did he slowly open his eyes. A burst of light exploded out of them. His gaze was much deeper than it had been before, which seemingly came from the different experience he had just had.
After the light retracted though, what was left was just confusion.
”Curious, curious. The more I understand, the more I don't understand.” Mo Wen frowned. After a while, he sighed. He had comprehended much about the methods of the three Glories but had not grasped the key points. If he wanted to practice now, he still felt at a loss on where to begin.
”What should I do?” Mo Wen furrowed his brow. This time he was truly stumped. It was not that his comprehension was weak, but he felt that his experiences could not keep up. It was like an elementary school student being unable to do high school problems no matter how smart they were. It was because they had never come into contact with these things before.
The rite of passage martial arts was something that only ancient martial art practitioners who had become immortal could come into contact with. Mo Wen comprehending it right now was obviously taxing for him, or maybe he did not know his own strength.
”This won't work. If this continues, it will be impossible for me to be enlightened to the methods of the three Glories. It would be nice to have an ancient martial art practitioner who began one's immortal cultivation by practicing martial arts to give me pointers.”
Only ancient martial art practitioners who began one's immortal cultivation by practicing martial arts could understand rite of passage martial arts. If he had such a master to instruct him on what to do, maybe Mo Wen could still manage to practice the method of the three Glories. Otherwise, with his current experience, practicing the method of the three Glories was a bit too difficult.
Suddenly, Mo Wen's gaze landed on a Spiral Dragon Pillar in the great hall. He seemed to have recalled something. He immediately got up and walked towards the nearest Spiral Dragon Pillar.
Earlier he had noticed that on the eighteen Spiral Dragon Pillars in the great hall, there were carvings of human silhouettes demonstrating martial arts teachings. The martial arts teachings were naturally not simple. They were very likely rite of passage martial arts.
However, unfortunately, Mo Wen could not understand them. The results of his forced observation had nearly caused his soul to be injured from a concussion.
If he could follow the martial arts teachings demonstrations on the Spiral Dragon Pillar, maybe he would have a breakthrough in his comprehending of the method of the three Glories.
Mo Wen once again walked up in front of Spiral Dragon Pillar, attempting to see through the human silhouette actions through sheer effort. Although he knew that it such a method might not be successful, he could not think of another way.
Mo Wen was surprised to realize that the human silhouettes on the Spiral Dragon Pillar were not as ethereal and blurry as they had been before. Now, at a glance, he could clearly sense any changes in the human silhouettes. He could see even the tiniest action clearly.
”What's going on?” Mo Wen's eyes welled up with surprise. This time, observing the Spiral Dragon Pillar was completely different from before. It was practically the difference between heaven and earth. The human silhouettes that he had struggled to see clearly on the Spiral Dragon Pillar were now clear as day, as though they were happening right before his eyes.
