671 Encountering Familiar Faces (1/2)

The Seven Great Human Warriors represented the humans who had been randomly selected to complete the Tower Spirit's task. Once they succeeded, all the human ancient martial art practitioners would obtain a double cultivation increase.

Once this task was announced, many human ancient martial art practitioners realized that they could not afford to fail this task.

The double task was not a solo task, but a group task. If the human ancient martial art practitioners could not obtain the double increase, and the difficulty of the game remained the same, that meant that their chances of defeating the Fire Domain's Seven Major Beast Kings were very slim.

This was not a game, but a Game of Death. The price of failure was their lives.

Right now, such an important task was borne by the seven of them. Even Mo Wen felt burdened.

A light flashed beside him. A white-robed figure suddenly appeared beside him. Mo Wen subconsciously turned his head to look. It was a person wearing a loose robe. Their figure was hidden in the white robe, and they wore a silver mask with a head of long, flowing hair. It clearly was a woman.

”What is your name?” Mo Wen asked curiously.

He could feel an astonishing aura from the woman's body. The aura was definitely far superior to his own, even subtly having the power of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. However, it was still a tiny bit weaker than the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm.

The white-robed woman did not even look at Mo Wen. It was if he were invisible. She gazed far into the stone ocean. Her entire body emanated a chill that made strangers terrified to approach her.

Mo Wen felt awkward at being so embarrassingly rebuffed. He smiled self-consciously and did not say anymore.

Aside from him, there were other human ancient martial art practitioners being transferred to this part of the stone ocean, one after another. They were not far apart, the furthest being just a hundred meters away.

There were seven people in total. Each of them had a cultivation not lower than that of the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm. All of them were renowned among humans.

Mo Wen's gaze swept over the others. He discovered a few familiar faces. The leader of Gao Clan, Gao Hanshan, was one of the seven. Mo Wen discovered that Bu Xingyi was also among the seven. Also present was the black-robed man, who had previously left a deep impression on Mo Wen.

Mo Wen did not know the name of the black-robed man. He only knew that he was the leader of the Ghost Lair group that had come to the Fire Domain this time around and that he was an authentic immortal cultivator. It was because of his identity as an immortal cultivator that he had left a deep impression on Mo Wen.

However, what Mo Wen had least expected was that he would encounter someone so surprising.

”Little friend, we have not seen each other in a while. How have you been?”

This person clearly also had just noticed Mo Wen. He stepped forward, his figure like a feather, floating over and appearing before Mo Wen in an instant. This person was wearing a sackcloth. His figure was short and he looked like an old farmer.

When the old man floated over, the white-robed woman near Mo Wen frowned slightly. A bizarre look also flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. It was because a rather frightening aura was emanating from the body of this old man. The strength of his aura was comparable to that of the terrifying white-robed woman.

”I never thought that I would meet senior here.” Mo Wen saluted with his fists, smiling plainly. He had met this old man once before. He was the reclusive Martial Arts Grandmaster who had been hiding away in a farming village that Mo Wen had encountered when he first came to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. This person's cultivation was unfathomable. Mo Wen could not tell how old the man actually was. Purely based on cultivation, the old man was above a Martial Arts Grandmaster such as Gao Hanshan.

”As expected, you are not cut from the same cloth as the rest. You are a god among insects.” The elder in sackcloth nodded his head as he regarded Mo Wen with a look of praise. He had noticed in their previous encounter that Mo Wen was no ordinary young man. But he had not imagined that this youth would improve so rapidly.

”The opportunity that senior mentioned when we last met was most likely related to the Fire Domain?” Mo Wen asked with a smile.

Previously, he had made a promise with this mysterious elder. Once his cultivation was developed, Mo Wen would return to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension for the minuscule opportunity to become immortal. The Green Ancient Mystery Dimension was just a small Inner world. The chances of becoming immortal there were far less than in the other large Inner worlds. The appearance of the spiritual fire was a once in a millennium event. The likelihood of other opportunities to become immortal was slim.

”You are really clever. That's right. In the past fifty years, I have come to this Fire Domain no less than ten times, but without exception, I have failed every time.”

A look of regret flashed in the eyes of the elder in sackcloth. He had spent fifty to sixty years planning to obtain the spiritual fire but to no avail. Still, he had never imagined that the secret would have leaked out in such a manner.

He had discovered that the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension had a spiritual fire sixty years ago. However, all this while, only he knew about this secret. Even if there were people that found out by accident, they would be silenced in time by him. But this time, too many people knew about it. He could not stop them at all.

The spiritual fire was too difficult to capture. He had spent fifty years of his life and he had not captured it.

”As expected.”

Mo Wen nodded his head, and said, ”I am Mo Wen. How should I address you senior? The struggle for the spiritual fire this time will most likely be decided by fate.”
