976 Nine-Day Art of Creation (1/2)

The most treasured part of the Sea of Spiritual Flowers was the sea of spiritual light and the hundred-year cycle. This was quite a mysterious power. Even if it could not directly enhance a person's power, it would subtly alter their life.

Even during ancient times, this flower was rare. Today, the people whose Primordial Soul had the sea of spiritual light were probably few and far between. Mo Wen had not expected that the ancient Creation Sect would use this as a reward.

An ancient rune condensed from the space and, as had been the case with the other runes, flew quickly into Mo Wen's hands. He now held five of them.

The next instant, Mo Wen felt a wave of power descend upon him before it transported him somewhere else.

He appeared in another ancient hall. The room was rather spacious and covered an area of dozens of square kilometers. It was like a residential area for giants and did not seem like it had been made by humans.

”Ten Thousand Technique Palace!”

Mo Wen's eyes were filled with joy. The sixth test was in the Ten Thousand Technique Palace of the Creation Sect. This had been thoroughly described in the information Mo Qingge had given him.

This test assessed one's understanding. The people who made it this far would probably derive some sort of benefit from this test.

For regular people, the previous five rounds would probably have been fruitless. However, if they made it to the sixth round, they would stand to gain something.

This was because the Ten Thousand Technique Palace where the sixth test was held was the treasure trove of the Creation Sect, and many of the immortal secret methods that held remarkable power were stored there. There were a huge number of such methods lying around.

Mo Wen stood in the Ten Thousand Technique Palace, feeling like a tiny ant that had crawled into a gigantic palace. Even the simplest of ornaments in the hall were several floors high. There were thousands upon thousands of jade pillars spanning the entire area of the hall. The pillars were distributed neatly in the space and seemed to fill the entire hall.

”Spiritual pillars of enlightenment!”

Mo Wen's eyes were glowing. The spiritual pillars of enlightenment were an ancient relic that didn't exist in the modern world. They served a similar function to the Inheritance Pearl, though they were much more impressive.

Not only were the spiritual pillars of enlightenment capable of recording all sorts of secret methods to achieve remarkable power, but they could also imitate them so skilfully it was almost impossible to distinguish the imitation from the original. It was as if there were a master teaching and performing for you right in front of your eyes. It was better than the Inheritance Pearl.

In the spacious Ten Thousand Technique Palace, there were tens of thousands of spiritual pillars of enlightenment, and each pillar contained another countless number of spiritual pillars of enlightenment.

On top of that, the things that could be recorded in the spiritual pillars of enlightenments were often unusual.

”The ultimate treasure trove! Every last detail of the Creation Sect's history is probably in here.”

Mo Wen took a deep breath. His eyes were gleaming as he fixed his gaze on the spiritual pillars of enlightenment. Those who could make it this far could all walk away with a secret method of remarkable power, but the level of the secret method they could attain depended on their talent.

The sixth test assessed your comprehension. The better your understanding, the greater the reward.

Mo Wen walked around the Ten Thousand Technique Palace. There were forty or fifty thousand spiritual pillars of enlightenment in this room, and the secret method to remarkable power recorded in each one was different from the next. On top of that, the different secret methods were also divided into ranks. Within the Ten Thousand Technique Palace, the secret methods were split into 12 ranks. The key to distinguishing between the different ranks lay in the golden patterns of the spiritual pillars of enlightenment—one golden pattern indicated it was the lowest rank and 12 indicated the highest rank.

However, being able to absorb a secret method to remarkable power from the Ten Thousand Technique Palace was a treasure in its own right, even if there was only one golden pattern on the spiritual pillars of enlightenment. Even a secret method to a remarkable power of the lowest rank was likely to be a top-grade rite of passage to remarkable power or even one of a superb rank.

As for the highest? Even Heavenly Paths to remarkable powers of legend existed.

In the Creation Sect in the past, almost every single one of the spiritual pillars of enlightenment with twelve golden patterns was a Heavenly Path to remarkable power.

As for whether they were small, medium, or large paths… There was just no way to determine how many of those there were.

However, whether or not you could learn it hinged entirely on your ability. Those who could make it this far were permitted to rest here for a month. You were only allowed to leave with the secret methods to remarkable power if you could comprehend the remarkable power on the spiritual pillar of enlightenment within that time. Otherwise, there was no way for you to grasp the entirety of the secret technique. You would lose all memories of the Ten Thousand Technique Palace once you left.

Mo Wen was not an ambitious man. He wasn't really interested in whether it was a large or mid path to remarkable power. He knew that, based on his abilities, being able to realize even a small path to remarkable power was no easy task, so tackling the large and mid paths to remarkable power would be practically impossible for him.

The highest order of the seven Glory techniques was a large path to remarkable power, but Mo Wen had not gotten very far despite the amount of time he had spent cultivating. He hadn't even made it into the second phase of the preliminary stage. He would be dreaming if he thought he could take a large path remarkable power away with him within a month.

Mo Wen might have cultivated a Celestial Body through the Heavenly Path of remarkable power, but the Celestial Body was originally something the Heaven and Earth trigram founded upon his particular circumstances. One could even say that it was tailor-made for him and all he had to do was practice according to the drills the Heaven and Earth trigram had set for him. There was no need for him to think of anything else.

Mo Wen wandered around the Ten Thousand Technique Palace in search of a small path to remarkable power that could catch his eye. The Ten Thousand Technique Palace seemed to have everything in it: all sorts of secret methods to remarkable powers, alchemy arts, manufacturing techniques, stratagems, puppet mastery, gimmick techniques, talismans techniques… It even had quite a few of the most niche and taboo techniques.

But Mo Wen paid no attention to those. He was looking for a small path release technique, preferably one of a high mid-rank. To him, staying alive was the most important thing, and the greater the release technique, the greater his ability to protect his life.

However, while Mo Wen was still deliberating, something strange suddenly happened. His medicine spiritual ring suddenly emitted a beam of purple light. As he looked at it, the Purple Bottle Gourd came out on its own.

The gourd was rather intricate. The strange thing was that it seemed to be alive. The moment it stepped out, it leaped up onto Mo Wen's shoulder. Its body seemed to elongate as it looked around as if taking in its surroundings.

”It's you again!”
