Chapter 1048 - Ten Years Later

Chapter 1048: Ten Years Later
A long time had passed and 10 years was gone in the blink of an eye. The Green Ancient Mystery Dimension had prospered and there had been an emergence of a large number of strong practitioners.
Although no one from the outside world knew how many strong martial arts practitioners there were in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, a lot of martial arts practitioners in the other mystery dimensions could guarantee that, on the whole, this tiny mystery dimension was no longer any weaker than the bigger ones like the Floating Mystery Dimension, and had perhaps become even stronger. Of course, this estimation did not include the cultivators who were exceptionally terrifying.
Only the people within the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension knew just how strong the Ming Palace was now. There were no fewer than 10 Primordial Soul Realm cultivators in the palace, and they would not be considered a small sect even in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, much less the other mystery dimensions.
In these 10 years, Mo Wen had spent a lot of effort in nurturing the cultivators of the Ming Palace by using all sorts of spiritual pills and wonder medicines, exhausting all his cultivating resources. Even the people who would find it difficult to become Martial Arts Grandmasters had been pushed to the Primordial Soul Realm by him.
These included people like Ling Feng and Tan Qiyue. The two of them, under Mo Wen’s guidance, had reached the Primordial Soul later stage, and the Ming Palace Lord Wang Yinru had gone even further.
Before his seclusion, Mo Wen had passed the title of palace lord to Wang Yinru. He had fulfilled his initial promise after he united the Ming Cult, and the rest of it was naturally not much of a concern to him, so he handed all of it to someone else.
Historically speaking, the Ming Palace of today might be following the orthodoxy handed down by the Ming Cult, but it was vastly different from the Ming Cult from hundreds of years ago.
The internal organization of the Ming Palace had been completely revamped by Wang Yinru. She had completely eradicated terms of address like
Right Custodian
,
Left Custodian
, and
Eight Major Respectable Figures
, and even the tradition that a woman could not be the cult leader had been completely removed. The Ming Cult from hundreds of years ago did not allow women to become cult leaders because only men could cultivate the Nine Yang Divine Technique—or, rather, only men had succeeded in doing so.
Now, the strongest technique in the Ming Palace was no longer the Nine Yang Divine Technique or the Nine Yin Divine Technique. Instead, it was a new technique that Mo Wen had created by combining Yin and Yang—the Yin Yang Amplification Scripture.
The Yin Yang Amplification Scripture was a divine technique that Mo Wen had created based on the mystery of the Nine Yang Divine Technique and the Nine Yin Divine Technique. Just going by rank alone, it was definitely of a higher rank than both divine techniques. It was a success, a technique that worked because of the harmony brought about by fusing Yin and Yang into a single entity.
In truth, in the past, Zhang Poxiao would have been able to fuse the Nine Yang Divine Technique and the Nine Yin Divine Technique into one, but he had been sucked into the great swirls of the Sacred Fire Sword treasure troves. He had been in quite some trouble and had no time at all to create the new technique and pass it down to his successor.
Mo Wen’s time spent in the Junior Master’s Pagoda had been accelerated a hundred times, and he spent about 10 plus years before he finally created the Yin Yang Amplification Scripture.
This Yin Yang Amplification Scripture, if cultivated to the highest realm, would allow for the cultivator to become immortal immediately. Breaking through to the Primordial Soul Realm and cultivating the Yin Yang Qi technique were rather impressive, even in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, since techniques that could cultivate Yin Yang Qi were few and far between in the realm.
Of course, this also meant that it was difficult to cultivate the Yin Yang Amplification Scripture and there were few people who could cultivate the technique. Even if they did, it was difficult to cultivate it to the highest realm, and only the people with exceptional innate skills could succeed in cultivating the Yin Yang Amplification Scripture. Otherwise, it was no better than cultivating an ordinary technique.
Of course, as the best martial arts technique in the Ming Palace, the Yin Yang Amplification Scripture was not a technique that could be cultivated by just anyone. Its placing was similar to the Nine Yang Divine Technique and the Nine Yin Divine Technique of that time, and only those of a high-level position, like the Palace Lords and Sacred Maidens, could cultivate it. Ordinary elders and disciples of the sect did not qualify to even interact with the Yin Yang Amplification Scripture.
Martial arts method, resources, secret technique… All of these inundated the Ming Palace, and it was no longer what it used to be.
It was worth mentioning that Pei Fengwu had also joined the Ming Palace of her own volition and had become one of the two Palace Lords.
As for Su Wan’er, she had been studying alongside Mo Wen these few years. Not only had she been learning about medicine, but she had also been learning about the alchemy arts. As a way of carrying out their plans for not letting their art die out, Mo Wen was preparing to hand down the Mo clan and Ji Wuya’s art of healing to her.
The first level of the Junior Master’s Pagoda was scenic, and its landscape was as if it was taken right out of a drawing. The waters and mountains were picturesque, cranes were dancing, beasts were gentle, and it was every bit like an immortal realm.

Are you ready to leave the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, master?

Up on a tall mountain, a young girl stood in front of a young man sitting cross-legged, reluctance swimming in her eyes.

I have some things I need to deal with, but I’ve already planned out your homework for cultivation. Don’t slack off,
said the young man who sat cross-legged.
The aura coming off of him was quite mild and there were no hints of smoke or fire in it. His eyes were clear as water, but something about it spoke of the years he had been through.
10 years had passed in the outside world, but Mo Wen had been under the hundredfold acceleration within the Junior Master’s Pagoda and he had experienced a thousand years. Cultivating peacefully away from the outside world for such a long time had polished his hostility, and his entire being was becoming increasingly calm.

I won’t.
Su Wan’er nodded.
The young girl was Su Wan’er. She had been but a little brat back then, but she had grown into a beautiful young lady now.
The Su Wan’er of today was not just a cultivator at the Primordial Soul Realm later stage, but she was also skilled with the methods of the art of healing. Her inherent talent in the art of healing was something even Mo Wen would be in awe of.
Speaking of which, Mo Wen might have been in seclusion for most of the time, but he had also been guiding Su Wan’er for about a hundred years now. Now, she was also an up-to-scratch Miracle Physician, which satisfied Mo Wen in his capacity as her master. When he had first accepted Su Wan’er as his disciple, he had only done so because they were brought together by fate, but Su Wan’er had a good nature and was well suited to be practicing medicine.

Master, I want to head out, to learn through experience. A doctor who has never treated an illness before is no doctor at all, so my skills as a doctor will only be at their best if I can travel and treat people from different places,
Su Wan’er said in a soft voice.
Since Mo Wen was leaving, she would not be prepared to stay in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension any longer either. Although only 10 years had passed on the outside, she had been cultivating in the Junior Master’s Pagoda for far too long, and she sometimes wondered if she was still a young girl. But, thinking about it carefully, she realized she did not actually change very much at all.
Mo Wen hesitated for a beat, then nodded.
It’s a dangerous world, Wan’er, so you have to be extra careful once you’re out there. I can’t protect you all the time.

It was true that Wan’er should head out to learn through experience. No strong person in the world had grown under the shelter of a mentor, and every cultivator had their own path to walk. Besides, Mo Wen knew that Wan’er had dreamed of traveling the world and helping people with her expertise in medicine since she was a child. After a century of learning the art, Wan’er finally had that ability.

I’ve prepared some things for you. Take these.

Mo Wen fished out an intricate bangle for Su Wan’er, which was a storage treasure. Mo Wen had seen this day coming for a long time, so he had prepared in an advance a gift to mark the end of her apprenticeship.
In the storage bangle was a pill scripture, and Mo Wen had penned its contents by consolidating Ji Wuya’s legacy with his own experience. It contained alchemy techniques, alchemy experiences, pills, and secret recipes. It was a rather comprehensive collection and worth quite a lot.
Other than that, there was a scroll containing his personal experience and what he had learned, to guide Su Wan’er in her cultivation and enable her path of cultivation to be as straightforward as possible.
There were also a few treasures, like a spiritual treasure-grade divine sword, and a spiritual treasure-grade alchemy furnace.
Mo Wen had personally headed to the Huatian Palace to ask Nie Junxue to help him concoct these two items.
There were few people in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm who could concoct spiritual treasures, and the only one who Mo Wen knew was Nie Junxue. If not for Wan’er, he would not have sought Nie Junxue out. After all, he owed her a favor now. He might have saved her life, but that debt had been thoroughly repaid when Nie Wuxin had cultivated in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension for a hundred years. Now that he had sought Nie Junxue out, he owed her favor.
In the storage bangle, there were also other items like spiritual stones, spiritual pills, spiritual talismans, stratagem flags. Items like these were frequently used in the Immortal Cultivation World.

You can head to all the other immortal realms but try to avoid going to the Peng Lai Immortal Realm,
Mo Wen instructed. He had a lot of enemies in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, and those sects would be able to find out just who Su Wan’er was with a little bit of digging, so she would most likely be in danger if she ran to the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.

I understand.

Su Wan’er gripped the intricate bangle, her gaze conveying how moved she was by his gesture.
After she took her leave, Mo Wen prepared to leave as well. His 10 years were almost up and it was time for him to head towards the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield.
Two beautiful figures appeared on the mountain that Mo Wen had been cultivating on. They were the current palace lords of the Ming Palace, Wang Yinru and Pei Fengwu.

Mo Wen, both of our cultivation have reached the pinnacle of the great attainment of the Primordial Soul Realm, so can we start absorbing the Spiritual Transforming Pearls now?

The two of them looked towards Mo Wen expectantly. Ever since they had known about the Spiritual Transforming Pearls, both of them had been thinking about absorbing the pearls every day, hoping to become like Gu Jingman.

Your foundations are still too shallow, now is not the right time.
Mo Wen shook his head.
Wang Yinru and Pei Fengwu could achieve their level of cultivation partly because of the mysteries of the Junior Master’s Pagoda, but also because he had poured all his effort into nurturing them. However, this sort of nurturing only helped raise their cultivation at a rapid rate and did not make sure their foundations were stable. If they absorbed the Spiritual Transforming Pearls now, it would not be of much help to them.

Why not? Gu Jingman absorbed the Spiritual Transforming Pearls when she was at the great attainment of the Primordial Soul Realm, did she not?
Pei Fengwu asked, a little displeased.

That’s right. Did Sister Gu Jingman not improve by leaps and bounds at the great attainment of the Primordial Soul Realm, and ended up being reborn? Wang Yinru huffed lightly.

The two of you are in a different situation from her.

Mo Wen chuckled bitterly. The two of them wanted to compare themselves with Gu Jingman, but they did not know just how far behind from her they were. Her foundation had already been firm enough, and they were simply too far behind her.
Of course, this was not something he could simply say to them, else a riot might break out. During this period of quiet cultivation, the two of them had not been as polite to him as they used to. No matter how you spun it, he was still a huge benefactor of theirs and had helped them very much. However, not only were they not thankful to him now, but their attitude toward him was also becoming increasingly vicious. Were they for real?
If they were somebody else, they would not even have had the right to train in the Junior Master’s Pagoda, much less continue to be painstakingly nurtured by him like this.

How are we different? We can do what Gu Jingman does. Whatever, I want to absorb the Spiritual Transforming Pearls now,
Pei Fengwu said insistently.

That’s right. The two of us are no worse than Gu Jingman. Besides, once we absorb the Spiritual Transforming Pearls, we’ll be able to break through to the Tide Changing Realm and we can accompany you to the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield…

All of a sudden, Wang Yinru realized that she had said too much, and shut her mouth immediately. But she remained as resolute as ever, insisting on absorbing the Spiritual Transforming Pearls now.
