970 Heavens Change (1/2)

Mo Wen sat cross-legged on the stone pillar. He raised his head and looked up at the sky. Above him was an endless starry sky. It seemed close one moment and distant the next. It was as though one could pluck the stars out of the sky simply by reaching out a hand.

Gradually, changes appeared in the starry sky. The initially peaceful sky seemed to boil like water. One by one, the stars seemed to diverge from their original orbits and began to move at high speed. Each star seemed to be a world. Each change and movement seemed to contain the profound understanding of the Heavenly Path.

”A Heavens Change! The scene before my eyes is the renowned Heavens Change.”

Mo Wen had heard about the Heavens Change a while ago. The so-called Heavens Change was the ultimate understanding the Mighty Immortal Cultivators had regarding the Heavenly Path. Only absolute strong practitioners of the Heavenly Path could manage to comprehend the Heavens Change. Those who could record this sort of Heavens Change were certainly very powerful. Even absolute strong practitioners of the Heavenly Path could not manage it; neither could legendary immortals.

”The Ancient Age Creation Sect has left behind such a process of understanding the Heavens Change. As expected, it's truly unfathomable.”

Mo Wen looked intently at the starry night sky above him. To be able to witness a Heavens Change was a dream of any cultivator. It was a pity that his current cultivation was too low and he could not understand the profound understanding of the Heavenly Path from the movement of those stars. If he was a Virtue and Justice Realm cultivator, he would be able to reap the greatest benefit from the Heavens Change.

The second test was actually rather simple. It did not require Mo Wen to comprehend the unfathomable Heavens Change. He only needed to observe the process of change of the Heavens Change and from it find a series of numbers that served as a password. He needed to write the series of numbers on the stone pillar, and he would pass the second level.

He only had fifteen minutes, and the series of numbers would only repeat three times. If he could not find them within fifteen minutes he would fail the test.

For quick-thinking cultivators who had an active brain, it did not seem to be too difficult.

However, the matter was not so simple. When the Heavens Change began, images would suddenly appear in the sky above. Various scenes would be displayed in those images. There was a scene in a grand hall with hundreds of people performing in an orchestra. It was very lively. There was another of a battlefield with armies of millions massacring each other. Their screams were deafening. There was also an image of a group of stunning women who were dancing elegantly. They were as graceful as fairies. There was even live erotica with people moaning and tumbling around.

With the disturbance caused by these foreign images, trying to find the series of numbers in the Heavens Change was undoubtedly a hundred times harder. It was an extremely challenging task.

Only those who truly achieved the state of Nothing Exists beyond the Mind could focus and not be disturbed.

Mo Wen sat upright on the stone pillar. He was dismissive of the temptations in the images. He focused all of his attention on the Heavens Change. No true cultivator would be disturbed by these worldly objects.

However, Mo Wen still underestimated the difficulty of the second test. As though it knew that it could not tempt Mo Wen, the style of the images quickly shifted. They did not display sensual pleasures anymore but changed to show scenes of cultivators cultivating instead.

Some of these images showed cultivators cultivating remarkable secret techniques, revealing their entire cultivating process without reserve. Some showed the constructing and deconstructing of stratagems in a step-by-step way. Some showed the concoction of medicinal pills, with every detail clearly visible. Just by looking at these images, one could learn the remarkable secret techniques within them.

This… Mo Wen laughed bitterly. Those remarkable secret techniques were all deep and profound powers. They were hard to come by. Any cultivator would desire them; he was naturally no exception.

But Mo Wen also knew that these images were all fake. It was impossible to learn anything from them. Also, he only had fifteen minutes. If he could not find the series of numbers in fifteen minutes, he might even miss the chance to continue on the Path of Creation.

Nothing exists beyond the mind. Nothing exists beyond the mind!

Mo Wen kept repeating this silently to himself. He forced himself not to look at the images. However, even though he thought this and did not look at them, once the idea was in his head, he would have stray thoughts and would no longer be completely focused. His concentration would not be as strong as before.

Initially, Mo Wen had already found a few numbers in the Heavens Change. However, with this interruption, his previous efforts were wasted.

What should I do?

Mo Wen laughed bitterly. Any cultivator would be somewhat troubled when faced with such a situation. Could it be that he would not be able to meet the most fundamental requirement the Creation Sect used when choosing disciples?

After calming himself, Mo Wen focused on the fact that, no matter what, he had to avoid defeat. Putting the fact that failing the second test would make him a laughingstock to one side, if he could not reach the end, enter the Creation Pool and find the Spiritual Transforming Pearl, Mo Qingge would very likely die within fifty years. This was what Mo Wen wanted to avoid.

Be it personally or professionally, it was impossible for him to just watch Mo Qingge die. He had to reach the end of this Path of Creation!

Mo Wen took a deep breath and avoided looking at the Heavens Change in the sky above or those images. He slowly closed his eyes and ejected all the stray thoughts in his mind one-by-one, purifying himself bit-by-bit.

The world was full of miraculous things. No matter how incredible a remarkable secret technique was, could it be as unfathomable as the Heavens Change?

Why would he, Mo Wen, not seek treasures and inside go searching for rocks?

Mo Wen slowly opened his eyes and once again gazed at the sky above. More than half of the fifteen minutes had passed. The Heavens Change had also repeated for the third time. That meant he only had one final chance left.
