577 Heart of the Martial Arts God (1/2)

Mo Wen seemed to have undergone a complete change. His eyes were especially bright. A person who had only seen rivers would naturally sigh in awe when they finally saw the sea.

If he performed the martial arts that he had cultivated before, it would be on a whole new level now.

In the two days that followed, he cultivated the three Glory techniques. His cultivation was especially successful because he had gotten sufficient understanding of the martial arts way. As such, everything fell into place.

The essence of the Glory of Thunder technique was in its strength and explosive force. It was not stunning when stationary, but it was like thunder when it moved!

Once a person succeeded in cultivating the Glory of Thunder, they would be able to raise their strength by two to three times in the first stage. Their combat abilities would be terrifying.

The essence of the Glory of Wind was in its speed and space. When one succeeded in cultivating the Glory of Wind, they would be able to move like the wind, appearing and disappearing without a trace. In the first stage of the Glory of Wind, a person could raise their speed by two or three times. And if they had an environmental advantage, they could be even faster.

Mo Wen was certain that as long as he could cultivate to the first stage of the Glory of Wind, then even practitioners at the peak of the Golden Elixir realm might not even be able to catch up with him.

As for the Glory of Cloud, it was relatively more complicated. Its essence was in its mysteriousness. Or perhaps, one could say that the Glory of Cloud was a skill in which not having any moves was better than having a move. It turned a weakness into wonder. Even a simple punch could lead to innumerable changes.

Of the three Glory techniques, the Glory of Cloud was the most difficult to learn. If he could learn just a bit of it, he would definitely be able to become a great martial arts master.

Two days later, Mo Wen emerged from his cultivation. He did not look any different, but his disposition was completely changed. He was no longer as flighty and casual as before but instead seemed more reserved and trustworthy.

He had returned back to basics. The changes in his disposition that had come in the last two complete transformations and now gone; he had returned to the beginning. Mo Wen, at this time, looked not much different from before he had entered the beast's lair.

”I've already cultivated in the first step of the three Glory techniques. How can I get out?”

Mo Wen asked gloomily, holding on to the three tail feathers. He had been trapped in this place for five or six days already. Even though there was sufficient food in the medicine spiritual ring, nobody wanted to be restricted.

Mo Wen had gained plenty in the time he had spent there but did not wish to stay in the great hall for the rest of his life.

The three tail feathers seemed to be able to understand Mo Wen. The moment he asked his question, the gold tail feather unleashed a brilliant glow. The glow swept through the entire great hall, making it glow gold. There was a ray of especially brilliant light in the golden light that shone directly on the Inferno Star Lord's body.

The elder in white immediately emitted a brilliant white light. The white light immediately drowned out the gold light. The gold tail feather did not shine again but struggled out of Mo Wen's hand. It flew with a whoosh to the space above the Inferno Star Lord's body.

The same thing happened to the green and blue tail feathers. They wrenched themselves free from Mo Wen's hand forcefully and flew to the space above the elder. The three feathers circled above him incessantly, releasing a dim glow as if afraid they might startle the elder.

Mo Wen could sense that the three tail feathers seemed sad. Their sadness had even affected him. He felt that it was odd. Could it be that the feathers had emotions and could feel happiness, anger, sadness, and joy?

However, Mo Wen had no time to overthink things. He was shocked to discover that the Inferno Star Lord's body was melting bit by bit in the white light. His body disappeared bit by bit from top to bottom, turning into rays of white light.

He quickly bowed down with a respectful expression, sending the elder from tens of thousands of years ago off for the last time. No matter what, he had learned a lot in the Inferno Star Hall. The Inferno Star Lord was almost a teacher to him.

In just moments, the body of the Inferno Star Lord disappeared completely, leaving behind a ball of white light suspended in mid-air, unleashing light that shone for hundreds and thousands of miles.

”My legacy goes to those who are fated to get it. One day, I hope that the heart of the martial arts god will go to one who will continue the legacy of the martial arts god's brilliance.” An ethereal voice reverberated around the hall. The voice sounded like it contained the might of heaven. Those who heard it could not help but feel awe and respect for it. It was the sound of God's will.

Mo Wen was confused. What was the heart of the martial arts god?

The ball of white light flew up forcefully and then collided with the statue of a deity behind Mo Wen. Suddenly, there was a bright light and the statue seemed to have become alive. An endless power rolled across the space, covering it from top to bottom.

Mo Wen felt that he was facing the will of heaven and earth right now, and was directed by all things on earth.

The determination of the Inferno Star Lord that Mo Wen had earlier heard was not as magnificent as what he encountered now. The deity statue was of a middle-aged man wearing military armor. He held a long sword and his hair and beard flew in the air. His commitment to war rolled through the earth.

A ball of silver light flew out from the statue's chest. It was the size of a fist. It disappeared the moment it appeared and then appeared again, this time in front of Mo Wen. Then, it entered Mo Wen's forehead.

Crash! Mo Wen felt as if there were countless bombs detonating in his mind. His mind went completely blank and all his thoughts ceased.

After an unknown amount of time, he slowly regained his wits and opened his eyes slightly. Light shone into his eyes and his surroundings became clear to him once again. The large hall was still the same. Everything had calmed down. However, the body of the Inferno Star Lord had disappeared. The large and tall statue had collapsed onto the ground. Yet, the three tail feathers were still suspended in the air.
