374 What Kind of a Medicine is it? (1/2)

Jun Mo Xie pondered for a while, but could not understand anything. So, he decided to let go of it. The Young Master then felt his aura surge rapidly. His aura had become extremely lively. This also made Jun Mo Xie's spirits rise ceaselessly.

[I'm no longer a weak shrimp from this moment onwards. The strength of a Sky Xuan initial level expert isn't exactly 'formidable' when compared to the top experts of the mainland and the forest. However, it's powerful and unreachable when compared to the usual Xuan experts. Moreover, I have many other methods to surpass the hierarchies!]

[Now, I can act openly and freely with this strength. I can deal with matters the way I want to. I don't need to rely on my mysterious identity and the enormously imposing power of the Hong Jun Pagoda like I previously used to…]

[After all, a clenched fist is the absolute argument!]

[I do like that high-profile feel, but it's not my real strength at the end of the day. What would happen if my strength is able to reach that realm someday?]

There was a faint yet hopeful look in Jun Mo Xie's eyes. The Art of Unlocking the Heaven's Fortune had brought about so many nice surprises. What would it bring next…?

He still remembered how he used to watch those fictional martial arts shows on the television in his previous lives. It had experts cutting down small mountains with a mere push of their palms, while their swords could behead several hundred people at once. He used to watch those shows with dull enthusiasm at the time. In fact, he used to feel that it was pure nonsense. [Where does such abnormal martial art exist in the human world? I am the King of Assassins. And, even I can't accomplish such feats. So, how can someone else?!]

However, he had seen Venerable Mei in action. He had seen Li Jue Tian, Lei Bao Yu, and Bu Kuang Feng. He had even seen many of the Xuan Beast Kings…

Cutting down a small hill with a push of their palm was nothing for them. They could perhaps flatten a huge mountain if they wanted.

This wasn't fiction. He had witnessed this on his own. So, what could be considered as impossible?

Then, Jun Mo Xie smiled as he mocked himself, and thought that every world has its own limits.

He put that chaotic train of thoughts aside, and took a step forward to go in.

And, that step forward brought him to the third level of the Hong Jun Pagoda.

[Would I get a mysterious gift here as well?]

[The first level had the Art of Unlocking the Heaven's Fortune. The second level had the Flame of Primal Chaos, the Furnace of Good Fortune, and the Yin-Yang Escape Technique. So, the third level would have…?]

[What nice surprise would be waiting for me?]

Jun Mo Xie felt heavy the moment he stepped in. In fact, he felt an unfeigned heavy sensation. It was like a treasured blade had cut across his face with a uniquely cold chop. It felt as if his body had been chopped by a Devine Weapon, and had been dissected thereof.

A wisp of a golden strand floated as Jun Mo Xie entered through. Then, it seemed like thousands of ghosts had suddenly found a host. They seemingly jeered as they rushed with lightning speed. They flew forward without a halt, and entered Jun Mo Xie's forehead from the space between his eyebrows.

Another wisp of light — this time a brilliant and shining green light — approached floating quietly, and entered Jun Mo Xie's head in a similar fashion…

Jun Mo Xie's entire body started to feel very exuberant. And then, a burst of 'killing intention' arose, and rapidly integrated with his existing murderous aura. After that, two messages appeared in his head…

The first message was, ”Turn ordinary metals into wonderful gold. Obliterate everything into nothingness. This is the power that controls Gold amongst the Five Elements.”

The second message was, ”Change occurs at a moment's notice. But, it covers the heavens and earth. This is the power that controls Wood amongst the Five Elements.”

[The power of gold? The power of wood? What's this?] Jun Mo Xie's head felt foggy with confusion. [What do these two lines mean? Wasn't it quite simple when I had received the Yin-Yang Escape? But, this is very strange.] However, the aura from the pagoda suddenly started to enter Jun Mo Xie when he was pondering in his confusion. And, it filled him to the brim within a moment. It revolved inside his body, and Jun Mo Xie realized that this power and the strength within his body were completely different.

[It appears… to be somewhat special…?]

[Is this another special ability like the Yin-Yang Escape?]

Jun Mo Xie continued to circulate that power for a moment, and suddenly formed an understanding of it. This was because his aura had become very lively and many times stronger when compared to the time before he had circulated this new aura. In fact, it felt as majestic and powerful as a massive river!

His mind was set into motion, and his mental strength erupted like a hurricane. Jun Mo Xie had instantly reached an understanding…

This was a mental attack! This force could encompass the mind!

He closed his eyes, and calmly digested it all. And then, Jun Mo Xie's eyes flickered bright as he opened them.
