618 Giant Crocodile Beast King (1/2)

After just one day on the island, Mo Wen had already been attacked by a few waves of monstrous beasts. Fortunately, they were not all very powerful, the strongest being just an intermediate stage seventh rank one. If a pinnacle of the seventh rank monstrous beast appeared, Mo Wen would have most probably been forced to abandon the island.

”In the Fire Domain, there are actually so many human strong practitioners. My ability is still far from enough.” Mo Wen had been practicing. He opened his eyes and looked at the dark red sky above him with a serious expression. The fact that he had so casually encountered two Martial Arts Grandmasters showed how dangerous the Fire Domain was. The sects were sending their most formidable warriors. Also, in the Fire Domain, there were Seven Major Beast Kings. Each of them had high cultivation. If it was likely that even human Martial Arts Grandmasters would not be a match for them in one-on-one combat, especially if magical treasures were not used.

Mo Wen had previously been able to discover some information about the Fire Domain by talking to Jun Wulei. There were a few hidden strong practitioners from the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension present. This time though, the human ancient martial art practitioners that had come to the Fire Domain were mostly ancient martial art practitioners that had crossed over from other Inner worlds. These included Gao Clan from the Zhen Wu Inner world; the members of the Ming Temple from the Floating Mystery Dimension; the Golden Dragon Sect from the Sirius Inner world and so on.

These factions were all pinnacle existences in their respective large Inner worlds. Because of the spiritual fire, they had all gathered in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, a small Inner world that usually would not draw any attention at all.

For Martial Arts Grandmasters, the attractiveness of the spiritual fire could not be overstated. Hence, most of the teams that had come over this time included Martial Arts Grandmasters.

What Mo Wen had not expected was that, as well as Jun Wulei, his beautiful Vermillion Bird Palace Hall team leader Pei Fengwu had also come to the Fire Domain. Jun Wulei had also told Mo Wen that the four of them that were here were all Huatian Palace Executors.

However, that wasn't the whole truth. In reality, the factions behind them had long known about the spiritual fire through various intelligence networks. At the same time that they were making their way over, the factions behind them had also sent out their members to infiltrate the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.

The four young people who had been sent understood that their formation of a team was an act of deception. The purpose behind it was to prevent the people who were interested in the factions behind them from discovering news about the spiritual fire from them.

Hence, after they entered the Tan Zi Beast Lair, they had each found a reason to leave the group. All of them knew what each other was doing but no one pointed it out.

Mo Wen also now knew that the woman called Jin Ying was one of the four. No wonder she had said told him that she still had a faction behind her and that she was not alone.

She had also told Mo Wen that she had two pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners backing her. From the looks of things now, she most likely had kept some more hidden. According to Jun Wulei, Jin Ying was from the Sirius Inner world's Golden Dragon Sect. Also, Golden Dragon Sect was a sect at the pinnacle of the Sirius Inner world. The sect would most likely have more than one Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Thinking about these powerful adversaries made Mo Wen's head hurt. Based on his rough calculations, there would most likely be more than five Martial Arts Grandmaster present, and that was still the most conservative estimate. There were also still the Seven Major Beast Kings of the Fire Domain who seemingly were constantly protecting the spiritual fire. Against such a line-up, it would be very difficult for Mo Wen to obtain the spiritual fire.

”Since I am already here, then there is no reason to give up.” Mo Wen sighed. Although the task ahead was extremely difficult, he was now in the Fire Domain and didn't intend to leave without giving it a go. The spiritual fire was very important to him. If there was even a small possibility of success, he would not give up.

”With my current cultivation, it will most likely be very difficult to compete with those strong practitioners. If I can raise my cultivation to the Golden Elixir realm, then it will be fine.”

Mo Wen's gaze flickered once. If he could cultivate a Golden Elixir, then he believed that his cultivation would not equal to that of a later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. Together with various other methods, when he encountered an existence such as a Martial Arts Grandmaster, he would most likely be able to put up a fight.

After thinking about it, Mo Wen suddenly took a large number of medicines that could increase his cultivation out of the medicine spiritual ring. He placed the jade bottles in front of him. Most of these panaceas were top notch concoctions that Mo Wen had made while in Intentionless Sect. All of them were concocted from spiritual medicines. So many of these treatments would be enough to allow an ancient martial art practitioner to break through to the Golden Elixir realm in a short amount of time.

But Mo Wen was different. His immortal cultivation techniques were special, so his situation would also surely be. Whether or not these medicines would help him break through to the Golden Elixir realm was difficult to say. However, no matter what, he had to give it a try.

With a flick of his finger, a black light suddenly shot out of Mo Wen's medicine spiritual ring. The light became larger and turned into a two meter tall black and gold metallic person. It was the puppet that Mo Wen had obtained from the underground palace hall.

The puppet's combat ability might not be as powerful as his, but for when he was practicing, it was the best form of protection. He would absolutely be at ease.

The Black Gold Puppet's combat ability was comparable to the later stage Golden Elixir realm. Dealing with a few ordinary monstrous beasts would not be an issue.

Only after he had adequately prepared did Mo Wen consume the panaceas one by one. He focused his entire being on breaking through to the Golden Elixir realm.

Time flew by. The number of medicines before Mo Wen gradually decreased. Consuming large amounts of these panaceas caused his body's aura to be very unstable. Sometimes it would be strong, sometimes it would be weak. When it was strong, it almost reached the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm. But when it dropped, it was not even comparable to the beginning stage Golden Elixir realm.

After two days, Mo Wen opened his eyes from his reclusion. He gently sighed, the corners of his mouth curling into a bitter smile.

He had failed!
