Chapter 991: Nie Junxue Is Captured

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

In the end, the Flame Horn King reluctantly gave Mo Wen quite a bit of Phoenix Fire Wood. Since he had already handed over the clan’s greatest treasure, the Fire Leaving Diamond, he was a lot more comfortable when it came to giving away the Phoenix Fire Wood. The Flame Horn King only had one wish now: to get rid of these two humans as soon as possible.

“Flame Horn King, the Fire Leaving Diamond is a treasure that can only be fully utilized by cultivators at the Tide Changing Realm and above. If it stays with your clan, its greatest function could not be utilized and it would go to waste,” Mo Wen said with a serious expression as he carefully stored the treasures away.

The Flame Horn King smiled wryly and did not say a word. However, in his heart, he was roaring with anger. Could it be that that the Fire Leaving Diamond was in better hands after being stolen by Mo Wen than it would be if it was still treasured by the Flame Horn Clan? What kind of person was Mo Wen? How could he sound so righteous after robbing other people of their things?

“I know you are not convinced. Even though I am not a good person, it’s not in my character to bully the weak and steal things from others. As compensation, I am prepared to teach your Flame Horn Clan two fire-attribute small path remarkable powers,” Mo Wen said.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, bullying the weak and stealing other people’s possessions happened daily. It was a normal occurrence for the cultivators. However, Mo Wen was reluctant to do so. Regardless of whether they were commoners or immortal cultivators, people should always adhere to a standard of justice and righteousness.

“Two fire-attribute small path remarkable powers!”

The eyes of the Flame Horn King sparkled with delight while he stared at Mo Wen in disbelief. He even thought that he had heard Mo Wen wrongly.

Small path remarkable powers were definitely unthinkably rare items in the preliminary ancient land. In the entire preliminary ancient land, there were certainly fewer than twenty small path remarkable powers. Moreover, all of these were in the hands of the Three Great Kings and ten major races. Small path remarkable powers were something so out of the Flame Horn Clan’s reach that they wouldn’t even think about them.

The Flame Horn Clan had never had any small path remarkable powers.

Mo Wen knew a little bit about the situation in the preliminary ancient land. In the past, all the Ancient Age foreign clans that were imprisoned here were all cultivators below the Tide Changing Realm. They had hardly mastered any small path remarkable powers. Even during the Ancient Age, the standard of the small path remarkable powers was high. Normally, only cultivators at the Tide Changing Realm or above could truly master them.

In the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, ordinary Primordial Soul Realm cultivators could not master small path remarkable powers either. For example, the Blood Evil Temple Leader, Xue Chu, had never practiced any small path remarkable powers before. There were countless cultivators like Xue Chu in the entire Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Unless one had a powerful background, it was very difficult for them to want to start practicing small path remarkable powers at the Primordial Soul Realm.

Therefore, small path remarkable powers were such a rare existence in the preliminary ancient land, a space where only living creatures below the Tide Changing Realm were imprisoned. Besides that, after so many years, many small path remarkable powers were lost to history for various reasons. Up to the present day, there were fewer and fewer small path remarkable powers.

“What did you just say?” the Flame Horn King asked cautiously. Even his breathing was somewhat rushed.

“I will give you two fire-attribute small path remarkable powers in exchange for your Flame Horn Clan’s Fire Leaving Diamonds. Do you want them or not?” Mo Wen said.

“Are you truly willing to give us two fire-attribute small path remarkable powers?” The Flame Horn King did not dare to believe it. Small path remarkable powers were rare and hard to come by. Moreover, these were fire-attribute small path remarkable powers that were most suitable for them to cultivate.

In reality, Mo Wen had long since realized that the preliminary ancient land’s foreign clans were not low in terms of cultivation, but the remarkable power secret techniques that they cultivated were distinctly average. Even a clan leader like the Flame Horn King was nothing special. He did not have any powerful remarkable abilities that he could use. Otherwise, after having cultivated for tens of thousands of years, having deep and rich inheritance, and having cultivation that could rival the Tide Changing Realm, how could he possibly be so easily defeated by Mo Wen?

Not only were spiritual treasures and profound level weapons not present in the preliminary ancient land, but the magical treasures here were also very normal. In this enclosed space, it was very difficult for a highly accomplished weapon refining master to appear. It was the same for highly accomplished alchemists and stratagem masters. There were most likely none of them in the preliminary ancient land.

Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for Mo Wen to have infiltrated the Flame Horn City like this without even a decent city guarding stratagem appearing. In the Immortal Cultivation World, ancient cities with millions of years of history like this one were usually not so easy to infiltrate. Only in the preliminary ancient land did this seem to be the exception.

The Flame Horn King stared at Mo Wen nervously. He was nervous, excited, and unsettled at the same time. He was very worried that Mo Wen would tell him that he was just joking.

As the king of the Flame Horn Clan, once he practiced fire-attribute small path remarkable powers, his ability would probably double.

“Don’t worry. I have no interest in joking with you. But both fire-attribute small path remarkable powers are of the first rank only. Your two Fire Leaving Diamonds are only worthy of this price,” Mo Wen said calmly.

Even though the Fire Leaving Diamonds were precious, the small path remarkable powers were very valuable too. Moreover, in a place like the preliminary ancient land, a first-rank small path remarkable power was far more precious than a Fire Leaving Diamond.

Mo Wen had inherited the knowledge of Ji Wuya. As the Medicine Sage of his era, Ji Wuya had cultivated the Law of Fire to rather a high realm. Since Mo Wen had inherited this knowledge, it was easy for him to bring out a few fire-attribute small path remarkable powers. Ji Wuya’s heritage even consisted of some fire attribute middle path remarkable powers.

Of course, Mo Wen couldn’t pass a middle path remarkable power to the Flame Horn Clan. He merely brought out two of the most ordinary fire-attribute small path remarkable powers. The two Fire Leaving Diamonds were only worthy of this price.

Xiao Jinghe stared at Mo Wen with a slightly shocked expression when he saw that Mo Wen was willing to present the Flame Horn Clan with two fire-attribute small path remarkable powers. Xiao Jinghe’s impression of this youth somewhat changed.

Teaching others the small path remarkable powers was simple. Mo Wen could pass the small path remarkable powers over to the Flame Horn King through their Primordial Souls. Even though this kind of inheritance method was not as detailed as passing the knowledge in an Inheritance Pearl, it was sufficient for the Flame Horn Clan.

“Farewell!”

Mo Wen casually saluted the crowd with his fists and then flew gallantly out of the Flame Horn City. Everyone stared at Mo Wen’s silhouette, yet no one dared to stop him. Xiao Jinghe had lost interest in continuing the fight with the Flame Horn King; instead, he followed Mo Wen with great interest.

The Flame Horn King stared at Mo Wen’s silhouette intently, not saying a word for a long while.

“Clan Leader, this man had stolen our Flame Horn Clan’s Fire Leaving Diamonds. Are we sending an envoy to the Ink Scaled Clan to seek the help of the Ink Scaled King?” a member of the Flame Horn Clan upper echelon asked as he flew towards Flame Horn King quietly.

The Flame Horn Clan had always pledged its allegiance towards the Ink Scaled Clan, and they paid tribute to the Ink Scaled King regularly. Naturally, the clan was protected by the Ink Scaled King. Now that the Flame Horn Clan had been bullied, the Ink Scaled King would need to get involved.

“Never mind. The human did not steal our Fire Leaving Diamonds. He traded them with us. It was just that his method was… a little brutal.”

The Flame Horn King sighed softly, forgoing his intention of taking revenge on Mo Wen.

“But…” The member of the Flame Horn Clan upper echelon was still reluctant to let it go. Today, their Flame Horn Clan had not just lost the Fire Leaving Diamonds, but they lost their pride too, and the pride of their entire race. Someone had actually trashed their city and bullied them to this extent. The Flame Horn Clan had never suffered such humiliation before.

“In this world, those without ability will be bullied. We are weaker than them, so there is nothing much that we can complain about. Remember, the most important thing is not our sense of pride, but our ability. He has given our Flame Horn Clan two fire-attribute small path remarkable powers. In the future, our Flame Horn Clan will surely be listed as one of the ten major races too. For a race, ability is far more important than other things. Otherwise, in the future, we will be bullied by outsiders like we have been today.”

“The Fire Leaving Diamonds could not make our Flame Horn Clan powerful; however, the two fire-attribute small path remarkable powers can. The human does not owe us anything.”

The Flame Horn King sighed. If, in the beginning, the human had stated that he was willing to exchange two fire-attribute small path remarkable powers for their Fire Leaving Diamonds, the Flame Horn King would definitely have welcomed him with open arms.

“This matter is settled. However, we will remember our humiliation today. It will always motivate us. Without ability, we will end up being pushed around.”

…

A thousand miles away, two people flew side by side. It was Mo Wen and Xiao Jinghe.

“You treated the foreign clan members rather nicely,” Xiao Jinghe said with a smile.

“I just did not want to feel guilty afterward. I have never been merciful, but I also don’t want to bully others,” Mo Wen said as he casually threw an item over to Xiao Jinghe.

Xiao Jinghe caught hold of it. It was none other than the Phoenix Fire Wood. Mo Wen had obtained quite a bit of it from the Flame Horn Clan. He gave Xiao Jinghe a portion while he kept the rest.

Phoenix Fire Wood was a type of divine wood that could nurture the soul. Cultivators could use the Phoenix Fire Wood to cultivate some Primordial Soul secret techniques. Before this, Chu Yu had mentioned that Xiao Jinghe cultivated a special Primordial Soul secret technique. He had even passed the Path of Creation’s fifth test with the highest result. He must have also obtained the fifth test’s Sea of Spiritual Flowers.

In other words, Xiao Jinghe’s Primordial Soul was at least not lower than that of an ordinary Tide Changing Realm cultivator. In the battle against the Flame Horn King, he had been holding some of his power back.

Xiao Jinghe put the Phoenix Fire Wood away without a fuss. Some ways of the world did not need to be discussed further. Being polite would appear hypocritical.

“I am very curious as to whether you have broken through to the Primordial Soul Realm. If you are already so powerful before doing so, that is truly unbelievable.”

Xiao Jinghe looked at Mo Wen with a strange expression He had always believed he was already at the limit of his powers. He never imagined that there would be even more to Mo Wen. Xiao Jinghe could not sense the changes brought by the Primordial Soul Realm coming from Mo Wen. However, he did not dare to believe that a cultivator that had not broken through to the Primordial Soul Realm was that powerful. That was why he had asked the question.

“What do you think?” Mo Wen smiled mysteriously. He did not say yes, but he also did not say no.

“As expected, there is always someone stronger out there.” Xiao Jinghe sighed. After encountering such a monster, he could not do anything apart from conceding.

Suddenly, a beam of fire lit up the horizon. Before Mo Wen could respond, it had appeared near them as though it had traversed space and time.

“A Spatial Sound Resonating Talisman!” A look of surprise flashed in Mo Wen’s eye. He recognized that it was a Spatial Sound Resonating Talisman at a glance. It was a rather rare item. Rumor had it that only Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators could manufacture one. It could send messages while ignoring space. Some incredible Spatial Sound Resonating Talismans could even traverse different spaces and were rather powerful.

The Spatial Sound Resonating Talisman landed in Xiao Jinghe’s hand in a flash. Clearly, it had been sent to him by someone else.

“This is bad!”

Xiao Jinghe secretly exclaimed to himself. Only the four of them from the Huatian Palace were equipped with Spatial Sound Resonating Talismans. They would not use them unless they were in a huge predicament.

“What’s the matter?” Mo Wen asked in astonishment. Judging by Xiao Jinghe’s expression, something was clearly wrong.

“Nie Junxue has been captured by the Multicolor Queen,” Xiao Jinghe said with an ugly expression. The Multicolor Queen was one of the ancient land’s famous Three Great Kings.
