Chapter 1049 - The Difficult Little Girl (1/2)
The reason why Wang Yinru and Pei Fengwu were so anxious to absorb the Spiritual Transforming Pearl was that they wanted to break through to the Tide Changing Realm to accompany Mo Wen to the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield.
All along, only Tide Changing Realm cultivators could enter the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield. Anyone with cultivation higher or lower than that did not qualify.
Mo Wen laughed bitterly when he heard that. The two of you wanted to go to the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield? Who did you think you are?
“The Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield is an opportunity for us. A lot of cultivators in the Spirit Realm are fighting for a chance to go there, and we don’t want to miss out on this opportunity,” Pei Fengwu could only add on with a red face when she saw that Wang Yinru had run her mouth.
They could not help but be uneasy when they found out that Gu Jingman would be heading to the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield with Mo Wen.
“The Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield is not as simple as the two of you think it is. You’ll definitely lose your life the moment you let your guard down. Both of you are relying on external power to forcefully raise your cultivation to the Tide Changing Realm, and you dare head to the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield?” Mo Wen asked, impatient.
“And what about it?” Wang Yinru arched a brow, a look of defiance on her face, as though she feared nothing.
When she saw that Mo Wen did not seem too pleased, she immediately tried to defuse the tension. She said coyly, “Besides, we have you, no? I’m sure you’ll protect us.”
“The Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield is a dangerous place, and I don’t have the power to take care of both of you in a place like that. That’s enough. This is not up for discussion,” Mo Wen cut straight to the chase and ended the fuss. Gu Jingman was one issue but she had the power to fend for herself, at least. For both of you, how was it different from sending you to your deaths?
Wang Yinru and Pei Fengwu bit their lips, standing on the spot without moving an inch. They did not speak and they did not leave.
Mo Wen held his head. In an attempt to scare them, he said, “You two can absorb the Spiritual Transforming Pearls now, and I won’t stop you if you want to go to the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield either, but don’t you say I didn’t warn you. Your foundations are too rocky and you won’t be able to absorb many pearls now. Besides, you guys rose too quickly and this will have a huge impact on your path of cultivation in the future. You’ll only become a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator at best, and even entering the Divine Illusionary Realm would be difficult.
“Haven’t you two always been comparing yourselves to Gu Jingman? Your foundations now are simply just not firm, and you won’t even be fit to carry her shoes for her in the future, let alone be compared to her,” Mo Wen said indifferently.
These were heavy words that he had spoken, but he had no choice. These two seemed dead set on getting their way so he had no choice but to be this harsh.
As expected, Wang Yinru and Pei Fengwu blanched when they head this, their faces pale beyond comparison.
“Since we’re this incompetent, then we won’t go.” Wang Yinru gritted her teeth, her eyes reddening.
“It’s not that you’re incompetent, it’s just that you started later. More haste, less speed. You guys know just as well that moving too quickly does no good for you, so stop being so competitive. I’ve concocted a batch of profound-level pills especially for you in the past few days, from the first to the fifth level. These pills are something even Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators might not necessarily get, and I spent quite a bit of effort concocting them. To me, you guys are no less competent than anyone,” Mo Wen spoke gently, his tone less harsh.
He knew that he would have to soothe them after such a harsh scolding, and what he had said to them earlier had really been very insulting.
When he saw that neither of them had any response, he could only continue speaking, “If not for the fact that I value both your potential, why else would I spend so much effort in nurturing you two, hm? Your days will definitely be bright, but you’ll have to heed instructions instead of acting out.”
“Fine, we won’t go. We’ll just stay here and cultivate, is that enough?” Wang Yinru’s face was stony as ever, but Mo Wen’s words had indeed registered in their heads.
They thought about it carefully, then realized that he was right. What was there to fight about? Mo Wen had spent far more effort on them than he had on Gu Jingman, and he had even been thinking about their future cultivation right before he was about to leave.
“Alright, then Sister Yinru and I will guard this home for you.” Pei Fengwu had acknowledged Mo Wen’s suggestion and she was a little touched, but she made sure her face was still set in a stony expression.
“This house cannot go without your protection. Well then, my thanks to you two beautiful fairies for being this selfless,” Mo Wen immediately thanked them with a smile on his face now that a huge load was off his chest.
“Hmph, you better return soon. You’ve stirred so much trouble outside, so don’t blame me if I can’t hold the fort.” Wang Yinru huffed softly.
Everyone knew that the Green Mystery Ancient Dimension had Nie Wuxin guarding it, and not even the bravest person would dare pick a fight here. But this was not something he could say outright, so Mo Wen nodded fervently and agreed, praising their efforts.
…
The Jade Xiu King and the rest of them tried to break through to the Supreme Profundity Realm in the last ten years, but they did not succeed. The Supreme Profundity Realm was not like the Tide Changing Realm; it was a bottleneck on the Path of Immortal Cultivation and 90% off immortal cultivators would be stuck at this bottleneck.
This was because only cultivators who had their own path would be able to promote to the Supreme Profundity Realm.
Every step after that was very tedious. Enlightenment of a small path would allow them to break through to the Supreme Profundity Realm, the enlightenment of a middle path would allow them to break through to the Divine Illusionary Realm, the enlightenment of three middle paths merged into a single one would allow them to break through to the Path Integration Realm, and enlightenment of a big path would allow them to break through to the Virtue and Justice realm.
Although the Jade Xiu King and the rest had hundreds of thousands of years of practice, the world law of the preliminary ancient land was in fragments and no complete path existed within it, so they had little to no knowledge of paths. Now that they wanted to break through to the Supreme Profundity Realm all of a sudden, they had to push on step by step until they could forge their own path.
This was why Mo Wen had been prepared to have the three of them go on this journey to the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield as well. They were only a step away from the Supreme Profundity Realm and all they needed was one turning point, so perhaps they would be able to successfully break through in the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield.
After a month, the five of them quietly left the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. No one else other than Wang Yinru and a few essential people knew where they were headed.
At the Huatian Palace Headquarters, in front of the senate…
