781 Going to Taihang Again (1/2)

If he were to work with the martial arts grandmaster in black and gave it his all, disregarding any price he would have to pay, he might be a match for Mo Wen. He had only taken a step back because of Mo Wen's status. When one did not really know a great deal about a youth like him, no one would dare to offend him.

\”Will your injury affect the Martial Arts Circle Convention that will be held next month?\” The martial arts grandmaster in black frowned. Xin Yichuan was rather badly injured and his inner Qi was seriously damaged. This meant that his abilities would have dropped significantly as well, and this would have a rather large impact on their plans. They had not accomplished anything and yet something like this had already happened.

\”There would definitely be some impact under normal circumstances. However, I can only ask the sect for help with the Martial Arts Circle Convention. We will use the sect's secret method. Even though the price to pay is large, everything is worth it for the Convention,\”

Xin Yichuan sighed. Who would have thought that something like this would happen? The Crimson Star Sect had remained well hidden and had not left sect headquarters at all. Yet, they could still get into trouble. They were like an athlete who injured his foot before a tournament.

\”You said that there were changes to the Martial Arts Circle Convention this time and that Huatian Palace will give out stunning prizes. The top ten will be able to enter the path of creation in the Peng Lai Mystery Dimension. Is this information accurate?\” The martial arts grandmaster in black narrowed his eyes.

\”Rest assured, the information from Bitao Palace won't be fake. If the First Miss of our Jiguang Sect were not the Young Madam of Bitao Palace, we would not know this secret either. In fact, in the previous Martial Arts Circle Convention, Huatian Palace also gave out great prizes suddenly. In the convention 50 years ago, Huatian Palace released a prize that was far beyond what we could imagine. This is probably true,\” Xin Yichuan said gravely. The prizes that Huatian Palace would release this time had not yet been announced. However, he knew of some and these prizes were sufficient to cause all the sects in the Inner World to go mad.

The Path of Creation had always been a myth.

Huatian Palace had never once used the Path as a prize but it had made an exception this time for the Martial Arts Circle Convention.

The Path of Creation alone was sufficient to make all warriors wish to fight one another. In the myth, the Path of Creation was a shortcut to becoming an immortal. Any warriors who took the path would be able to become an immortal. There were many warriors who had successfully become immortals in the past. They had all taken the Path of Creation by chance and had passed it successfully.

\”I can rest assured then. The Fu Sang Country is prepared.\” The martial arts grandmaster nodded when he heard what Xin Yichuan had to say. Fu Sang Country had put in a lot of effort to prepare for the Martial Arts Circle Convention. They must not let it be in vain. However, if they were able to get a chance to follow the Path of Creation, any price they paid would be worth it.

He was from Fu Sang Country and had taken the risk of working with the Jiguang Sect. His goal was to get an opportunity to go on the Path of Creation. The people of Fu Sang Country had long desired the ability the ancient Huaxia had possessed to become immortals. If they could pass through the Path of Creation, they would definitely win the opportunity to become immortals.

\”The Heaven and Earth List this time will change to the Heaven, Earth and Man List. The Heaven competition will be extremely difficult. Furthermore, since the Path of Creation is involved we must not let warriors who are too young waste this chance. As such, I think that the age limit should be at about 50. Only warriors who are at and above the Golden Elixir Realm should be able to participate.\”

\”As such, the Heaven, Earth, and Man List will be different from previous years. We must not let our guard down,\” Xin Yichuan said solemnly.

\”Rest assured, the Fu Sang Country's Master Yin Yang will use his divine-like possession skill, and the combat ability of Jiguang Sect's warriors will definitely raise to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm. I doubt there are more than five martial arts grandmasters who are under 50 among the warriors of Ancient Huaxia, including all of those in the inner worlds. Furthermore, they all come from powerful backgrounds and are well-known. I doubt they will be able to take part in the competition. With the abilities of a martial arts grandmaster, it would be easy to make it into the Heaven List,\” the martial arts grandmaster in black said confidently.

Master Yin Yang would personally use the divine-like possession skill. It would not be just ordinary. Furthermore, the person who will be possessed will not only possess the abilities of a martial arts grandmaster, he would also have some abilities that are divine-like. Even Xin Yichuan would be no match for that youth from Jiguang Sect then.

\”Then I can rest assured.\” Xin Yichuan's eyes brightened when he heard that.

If they had the abilities of a martial arts grandmaster, then it should not be a problem to come in the top 10 on the Heaven list. Even though he knew that the ancient martial arts world had more than five martial arts grandmasters who were aged 50 and above, some of them were very well hidden. No one knew who they were. However, as long as they were one of the top 10, it would be fine. The probability of that happening was quite high.

\”Oh, right. Will the youth you mentioned participate in the Convention? If he competes in the Heaven list, it would be a great hindrance to us,\” the martial arts grandmaster in black said with a solemn look in his eyes.

He had personally witnessed the youth's combat abilities. An ordinary martial arts grandmaster was no match for him. Even if they were to get the divine-like possession skill, it was not certain whether they would be any match for him.

\”It is hard to say. We can only take one step at a time. He will definitely not be our only opponent. We do not need to worry too much.\”

\”Fair enough.\”

…

The secret room gradually descended into silence.

Three days had passed since Mo Wen had returned to Hua Xia University. He remained with the two women over those days. On the fourth day, Mo Qingtian suddenly appeared in his courtyard.

\”Are you prepared?\” Mo Wen asked. He naturally knew why Mo Qingtian was here.

\”Everything is ready. Furthermore, we found out that the Ghost Lair would be holding a great rite in two days. The weather has changed. The Yang Qi fell while the Yin Qi rose. The Ghost Lair is planning something big.\” Mo Qingtian was as calm as he usual. His eyes were crystal clear. He was perfect, both in terms of his disposition and his appearance.
