777 Narrow View of the World (1/2)
With his Deified Soul Power, Mo Wen realized that going against a few martial arts grandmasters at once would be an easy feat. Based on instinctive reaction alone, even third realm martial arts grandmasters were not a match for him.
\”Young man, don't be too sure about what you said. How do you know that I am not someone from Crimson Star Sect?\” Xin Yichuan said with a slight smile.
\”Oh, so you mean to say that you are from Crimson Star Sect?\” Mo Wen stated calmly.
\”That's right. I am currently the Sect Grand Elder of Crimson Star Sect. So it's not very appropriate for you to go around saying that you want to eliminate my Crimson Star Sect, is it?\” Xin Yichuan said with a small smile.
Mo Wen was not very surprised that the old man had simply claimed to be a person of Crimson Star Sect. He had also already heard of some secret customs related to the Martial Arts Circle Convention.
At each Martial Arts Circle Convention, all the masters from the martial arts sects would make their appearances. All the so-called ancestors who had been hidden for hundreds of years, Sect Grand-uncles who had never come out into the world, and a bunch of uncertified and dubious masters would all emerge.
The purpose of it was to aid the main space martial arts sects by helping them to qualify for the Martial Arts Circle Convention.
\”How is it inappropriate? You think I won't dare to eliminate Crimson Star Sect just because you are here?\” Mo Wen laughed coldly and said.
\”You're so bold. You're the first young man who has dared to talk to me like that. There is no such talented youth in the main space, so I believe that you have hailed from the same place as I did. Am I right? I wonder which sect in the inner world has managed to cultivate such an insolent youth like you. I will report you to your sect and let's see if they will make things less difficult for you.\”
Within the main space, it was almost impossible for there to be such a talented youth. The only explanation was that such a person had been born, however, it was not possible for that type of person to be born so easily. Hence, he had concluded that this youth was definitely an ancient martial art practitioner from the inner world.
Although there were many ancient martial art sects in the inner world, there were not many that could cultivate such a youth. If the sect behind this youth was very strong and powerful, even Xin Yichuan would not dare to offend them.
\”Make things difficult for me? You should only say something like that if you can make things difficult for me in the first place.\” Mo Wen's mouth turned up into a mocking smile and he said calmly, \”Old man, I believe you are bent on protecting Crimson Star Sect today then?\”
\”Young man, taking a step back will widen your view of the world,\” Xin Yichuan said calmly. \”Although you have a very high Cultivation, don't forget that you are still not a martial arts grandmaster. You should know how far you are from achieving that. Since you hail from the inner world, I don't want to bully you either. Hand over the Snowy Plum Blossom spiritual weapon and leave now. Then, I may just consider letting you off unscathed. \”Basically, with me around, Crimson Star Sect cannot be harmed.\”
If Mo Wen was an average youth, Xin Yichuan would have just taken the spiritual weapon by force, even if the youth's Cultivation was sufficiently high. However, this youth was from the inner world, so Xin Yichuan was concerned about the sect behind him.
Mo Wen's eyes narrowed and a gust of cold wind gathered. Meanwhile, Xin Yichuan stood his ground. He stood tall and straight and did not move a muscle. The tension between the two of them started to increase.
\”A martial arts grandmaster has the right to make me go all out.\” With a huge roar, a frightening gust of cold air suddenly exploded out of Mo Wen. The cold air blew everything from the ground and sent them flying to the clouds. In the sky, the clouds contracted suddenly. Then, huge pieces of hail started to fall, each piece as big as a fist.
The wind was extremely strong and there was a drastic change in the atmosphere. The area within a hundred-meter diameter was soon covered with hail.
Meanwhile, the mountain peak that Crimson Star Sect was on had instantly been covered in a layer of ice crystals. It spread from the foot to the peak of the mountain, even extending to the plaza and palace. The entire Crimson Star Sect had been frozen in ice within a moment. It was as though a huge blizzard from the North Pole had suddenly descended upon them.
The ancient martial art practitioners of Crimson Star Sect with lower cultivations had become so cold that their limbs had frozen over and dropped off. Even their blood was starting to solidify. It seemed as though they would be frozen to death without too much of effort required from Mo Wen. Those ancient martial art practitioners with higher cultivations were also shivering from the cold. No matter how hard they tried to use their cultivations to defend them from the cold, they found it to be an impossible feat.
The cold had not just affected the Sect Elders of the Embryonic Breathing Realm. Even those Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioners like Huo Qize and Xin Wuji were shivering.
Because of the distance from Mo Wen and the special protection he had given them, only the area Wang Qinghan and Little Tang were in was not as unbearably cold.
\”Such a frightening Cold Qi.\” Xin Yichuan's pupils contracted and his expression immediately grew solemn. He had never encountered such a terrifying Cold Qi before.
Previously, he had crossed paths with a couple of Sect Grand Elders from the Cold Light Pavilion. However, even their Cold Qi was far from being so frightening! Moreover, this youth's Cultivation felt just like a martial arts grandmaster's. Even if it had not reached that level, it was extremely close to the level. In fact, it could already be on par with some of the weaker first realm martial arts grandmasters.
Initially, he had thought that Mo Wen's Cultivation would simply be a little better than an ancient martial art practitioner at the peak of the Golden Elixir Realm. However, it seemed that he was of a higher level altogether.
\”Young man, you are a great surprise. With your abilities, I'm afraid you are actually one of the top three of the Mystery Dimension's Ten Great Youths.\”
Xin Yichuan looked deep into Mo Wen's eyes. The Mystery Dimension's Ten Great Youths was a ranking that included all the strong youths of the inner world. The ranking was determined once every five years. Over there, any sort of young masters appearing was not an unusual occurrence. However, ones that were of Mo Wen's level were rather rare. Hence, he was good enough to make it to the top three positions.
\”However, I am a martial arts grandmaster. Do you think you can actually defeat me?\”
Xin Yichuan asked calmly. This youth was indeed rather special. However, a martial arts grandmaster was of an entirely different league. Hence, it was impossible to rely on his uniqueness to close the gap so easily.
\”You're so easily surprised? I think you'll be surprised quite a bit today then. So what if you're a grandmaster? Does that make you very powerful? I guess you'll just have to find out how narrow your world view has been.\”
Mo Wen laughed coldly. There have been many examples of non-grandmasters defeating grandmasters. Not too far from home, there was Nangong Mingzhu as an example. At the peak of the Golden Elixir Realm, she was able to easily kill off a beast king.
