642 Brilliant Galaxy (2/2)

Only people with spiritual roots had a spiritual aura. In other words, the spiritual aura was a manifestation of the spiritual roots. The stronger the spiritual aura one had, it meant the quality of his spiritual roots was higher too.

If a person had no spiritual roots at all, he would not have any spiritual aura. Such people were not destined to set foot on the Way of Immortals.

Mo Wen had noticed a strange occurrence. Since he had come to this world, he had been observing everyone carefully. However, he had never discovered spiritual aura on anyone before.

It meant that among everyone that he knew or had encountered, nobody actually had any spiritual roots. Mo Wen was shocked and confused by this occurrence. Even though the probability of spiritual roots appearing in commoners was very small, it wasn't as low as zero. With so many people in the world, there would most likely be quite a number of people with spiritual roots.

In his previous life, he had discovered quite a number of people with spiritual roots, some of them rather good. However, in this world, he had encountered none. It seemed as though people in this world were inherently not qualified to cultivate immortality. But he had discovered the tracks of immortal cultivators in this world. They seemed to be closely related to the ancient martial art practitioners as well.

This discovery was strange. Mo Wen couldn't make sense of it at all.

”Could it be that there are some spiritual roots planted in me now?” Mo Wen was shocked. An indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. He shut his eyes immediately. When he examined himself closely, he was nervous, anxious, and he had his hopes up.

In the Immortal Cultivation world, there had always been rumors about 'planting spiritual roots'. Some people who didn't have any spiritual roots had some heaven-defying strange encounters and by coincidence, they were planted with spiritual roots. Because of that, their achievements skyrocketed and they embarked on the Way of Immortals.

After a moment, Mo Wen opened his eyes slowly, frowning. ”There is a spiritual aura, yet there aren't any spiritual roots. This is strange.”

There was definitely a cloud of spiritual aura in his mind. However, he couldn't touch it; he could only vaguely sense its presence.

”I'll just let nature run its course.”

For a while, Mo Wen's expression kept changing, like clouds. Then, he sighed and forced himself to stop imagining things. The cloud of spiritual aura was hidden in his mind. He had no idea what use it had or how to use it. Right now, he could only go with the flow. The cloud of spiritual aura was a reward from the Fighting Spirit Tower. It would most likely not be harmful.

Just when Mo Wen was wondering what other rewards the Fighting Spirit Tower had, the three tail feathers in his body flew out suddenly, transforming into three gigantic birds with different forms. At first, the three birds weren't big; however, after absorbing the starlight in the galaxy, they expanded quickly. In the blink of an eye, the largest bird was more than 50 kilometers in size. Even the smallest bird was more than 30 kilometers long. They were unbelievably huge.

Mo Wen felt like a flea when faced with the three birds. He was so infinitesimally small.

He couldn't tell what creatures two of the birds were but he knew one of them. It was a phoenix!

The legendary mythical beast, the Phoenix!

He had never seen a real phoenix before. However, he had seen a picture of a phoenix on the mural painting of the Divine Pill Sect before and so was able to recognize it immediately.

The mythical beast phoenix had most likely transformed from the golden red tail feather. The Phoenix was majestic and its feathers were royal gold and red in color. It was like a brilliant, burning sun.

A shocking thought popped up in Mo Wen's head. Could it be that the golden red tail feather was a tail feather taken from the legendary phoenix? The Phoenix was a legendary mythical beast; it was an existence at the pinnacle of heaven and earth. In the Immortal Cultivation world, even masters of unparalleled power would not dare to mess with existences like the Phoenix.

The Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan was a treasure made primarily with seven tail feathers from seven different birds. If one of the tail feathers belonged to a mythical beast phoenix, then Mo Wen wouldn't dare to fathom what rank the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan was.

The three mythical beasts cried, then surrounded Mo Wen and slowly flew around him in a circle.

Their actions were followed closely by a white, foggy light which descended from the sky and shone on Mo Wen.

Mo Wen suddenly knew what to do. Immediately, he sat cross-legged on the ground. He experienced the power of the light with all his heart. He sensed that all the Inner Qi in his body had started to move around under the influence of the light.

He practiced three martial arts methods, with three cultivation routes. However, right now, all three cultivation routes were beyond Mo Wen's control. The routes moved around slowly under the control of the white foggy light.

At first, the three cultivation routes still abided by their own courses. However, each cultivation route started to gradually experience change. They no longer followed their initial path. Some even crisscrossed and merged with each other.

These changes frightened Mo Wen. He broke out in a cold sweat. Normally, the three martial arts methods that he practiced didn't contradict each other. Besides, he would do his best to keep them balanced. There had never been a time when the three cultivation routes had merged and crisscrossed like this.

Mo Wen knew that once he didn't follow the rules, there was a possibility that he might lose control of himself. Even when he wanted to change, he couldn't do it so hastily. He could only try to change it a little at a time.

However, right now, under the guidance of the white foggy light, the three cultivation routes were functioning at high speeds, and they were changing constantly. If anything went wrong during this series of changes, Mo Wen might be faced with the threat of death.

Mo Wen's body was stiff. He didn't dare move a muscle. His heartbeat was like a drum. He was very nervous, worrying that he might die an untimely death at any moment.

However, as time progressed, Mo Wen discovered that the Inner Qi in his body was actually flowing more and more smoothly. There did not seem to be any negative reaction.
