Chapter 1019 - A Storm Is Coming (1/2)
Due to Mo Wen’s induction into the Senate, he naturally needed to take care of some paperwork there. By the time he finished and left, the sky had turned completely dark.
“Brother Mo Wen, congratulations.”
As soon as Mo Wen stepped out from the door, a figure came straight to him. It was none other than the veteran of the Senate, Wise Man Ku Ji. Upon learning that Mo Wen had returned from the Path of Creation, he had waited for him here.
“Most likely Brother Mo Wen has reaped great benefits during the trip to the Path of Creation. In the near future, I have no doubt even I will be no match for you,” Wise Man Ku Ji said, with a smile.
Judging from Mo Wen’s aura, Ku Ji could tell that Mo Wen had broken through to the Primordial Soul Realm. Not only that, Mo Wen most likely broke through to the Primordial Soul Realm at Creation Pool. Anyone that broke through to the Primordial Soul Realm and reached Creation Pool was a genius. Even Ku Ji, who was famous among the Senate, was well-aware that his potential paled by comparison to that of Mo Wen.
Throughout history, it was known that cultivators who entered Creation Pool were always able to at least advance to the Tide Changing realm. More than half of them would ultimately breakthrough to the Supreme Profundity realm. The pinnacle of strong practitioners in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm were mostly people of this select group.
Of course, to enter Creation Pool, one must already possess extraordinary ability and potential. Ordinary people would never be able to enter the Creation Pool.
Ku Ji did not know about Mo Wen’s actual performance in the preliminary ancient land. He only knew that Mo Wen had broken through to the Primordial Soul Realm. As for what Mo Wen’s exact level of cultivation was, Ku Ji could not tell. Other than Xiao Jinghe and the rest who were there, only a few members of the Huatian Palace upper echelons knew about Mo Wen’s adventures in the preliminary ancient land. Obviously they would be discreet about such matters.
“Elder Brother Ku Ji, you praise me too much. Here is what you wanted. I was fortunate to have accomplished my mission.”
Mo Wen smiled. With a flick of his wrist, a fiery red crystal appeared in his hand. It was a Fire Leaving Diamond.
For Wise Man Ku Ji to wait so anxiously outside the door, it was most likely in anticipation of a Fire Leaving Diamond.
“Mo Wen, you have actually obtained a Fire Leaving Diamond.”
Wise Man Ku Ji stared at the crimson crystal in Mo Wen’s hands, his mind momentarily blank. The next moment, his eyes sparkled. A Fire Leaving Diamond! It was truly a Fire Leaving Diamond!
Ku Ji had thought it would be incredible if Mo Wen managed to get him a Fire Leaving Stone. As for a Fire Leaving Diamond, it was merely wishful thinking.
He had not expected that Mo Wen would truly find him a Fire Leaving Diamond. He could not possibly imagine what Mo Wen had done to get his hands on it.
Even if Ku Ji himself went into the preliminary ancient land, it would have been difficult for him to obtain a Fire Leaving Diamond.
“Brother Mo Wen, you are the lucky star that shines upon me!” Wise Man Ku Ji yelled in excitement. It had been a long time since he was so moved. With a Fire Leaving Diamond, there was at least an 80 percent chance of him breaking through to the Tide Changing realm. Only by cultivating up to the Tide Changing realm could he truly be counted among the upper echelons of the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.
As he received the Fire Leaving Diamond, Wise Man Ku Ji trembled in excitement.
“Brother Mo Wen, this is the Cold Spiritual Marrow. Please accept it.” Wise Man Ku Ji took out a jade bottle from his storage sack with a solemn expression. The jade bottle was pearlescent; one could tell at a glance that it was no ordinary item. What was stored inside was no less extraordinary.
Exchanging a Fire Leaving Diamond for a Cold Spiritual Marrow had been the arrangement between Mo Wen and Wise Man Ku Ji. How precious the Cold Spiritual Marrow was naturally went without saying. It was a treasure that was equivalent to no less than the Fire Leaving Diamond itself.
Prior to his adventures in the Path of Creation, Mo Wen had expected the Cold Spiritual Marrow to be of great benefit to himself. However, now that he had experienced so many bodily baptisms in the Path of Creation, and had even been reborn in the Creation Pool, the Cold Spiritual Marrow would not have any effect on him anymore.
Nonetheless, the Cold Spiritual Marrow was a still treasure. Mo Wen didn’t need it, but that did not mean the people around him might not benefit from it all the same.
After they had finished their trade, Wise Man Ku Ji bid Mo Wen farewell with a pleased expression. Just before he left, he suddenly thought of something, warning Mo Wen with a serious expression, “Brother Mo Wen, you better be careful. It will be best if you leave the Peng Lai Immortal Realm as soon as possible. Many large sects are looking for you.”
Clearly, Wise Man Ku Ji had received news regarding sects seeking out Mo Wen. As a veteran of the Senate, he was often kept well informed.
Mo Wen nodded in acknowledgment. “Thank you for your concern. I have a plan in mind.” Mo Qingge had already told him as much and recommended he seek refuge at the Huatian Palace Headquarters for a while. However, Mo Wen hadn’t accepted her suggestion.
