Chapter 922: Hidden Martial Arts of Peng Lai
The soul potion was a sacred medicine, and to the monks, its value was hard to determine. It was especially valuable for practicing the Second Primordial Soul Technique or some techniques that had strict requirements on the soul. The soul potion was definitely something that would lead the person using it to success.
Mo Wen had never expected the reward for the Heaven List First to be the soul potion. Looking at the small bottle in his hands, a moment of hesitation flashed in his eyes. Even though he would not consider the potion to be a priceless treasure, its value was still rather astounding. He was in a dilemma whether to use it immediately or to save it for future use when his cultivation was higher.
Moments later, Mo Wen decided to live in the present and use the potion immediately. Although the soul potion was precious, Mo Wen believed that he would be able to obtain even better items for nourishing the godly spirit. Besides, he had already successfully practiced over 50 percent of the partially deified soul. With the soul potion, he had a high chance of achieving the Primordial Soul directly.
For a martial art practitioner who had yet to become immortal to possess the Primordial Soul would be astonishing.
…
For the following 24 hours, Mo Wen practiced in the secret chamber. The power of the soul potion was amazing. In just half a day, Mo Wen’s soul power had deified completely. However, it did not stop there. The entire deified soul gradually transformed in substance, and an indistinct Primordial Soul appeared in Mo Wen’s declarative memory as it slowly deified into a form with time.
A flash of white light illuminated the space above Mo Wen and a one-inch tall dwarf immediately appeared on top of Mo Wen’s head. The dwarf was emitted the white light, and it seemed as if he was formed by the lights. However, his features could be seen clearly. He looked exactly the same as Mo Wen.
Primordial Soul! This was the Primordial Soul that Mo Wen had mastered. Once the Primordial Soul was mastered, Mo Wen would not perish even if his physical body was destroyed. As long as his Primordial Soul remained, he could be revived.

This is the Primordial Soul? It’s so amazing!
the white dwarf mumbled to himself.
He could feel his body had been completely transformed. His declarative memory was much brighter and had expanded ten-fold. At the same time, he could also sense anything and almost instantaneously detect the number of people within a radius of ten miles from him.
Although Mo Wen had already possessed a partially deified soul, it was not a complete deified soul. Furthermore, he did not have the Primordial Soul as a backing then, so it was pointless. But things were different now. With the Primordial Soul, the Deified Soul Power was incessant. Releasing the deified soul to survey the surroundings would be a breeze since there was now a foundation. Mo Wen had already been able to do that, but it would have drained his soul power, so he rarely used it.
There were more advantages to mastering the Primordial Soul. It could integrate even deeper into the Heaven and Earth and would help him to better understand the law of nature as well as the wonders of the world. That was why, if given sufficient time, the martial art practitioners or immortal cultivators would naturally be able to grasp a complete understanding of the highest level techniques.

The feeling of this mastery of control is wonderful. My power is going to improve tremendously.

Although he had been unsure of his exact strength ever since exiting the primeval space, Mo Wen was very strong. Now, even if the peculiar Xin Wuji were to appear in front of him again, he might be able to send him flying with just one hand. Upon mastering the Primordial Soul, his control over his body and Inner Qi was unparalleled. In the past, he was only able to exhibit ten percent of his power if he used ten percent of his strength. But with ten percent of his strength now, he could most likely exhibit twenty percent of his power. The existence of the Primordial Soul made him able to use his strength delicately without wasting a single bit of it.

I’m not sure if I’m able to challenge martial art practitioners who have become immortal, but even if I can’t beat them, I should be quite close to it,
Mo Wen thought.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Even with his eyes closed, Mo Wen knew that it was Gu Jingman. His Primordial Soul had already detected her when she was still hundred of meters away from the door.
Ever since leaving the Goddess’s World, the two of them had been staying at the same inn.

Mo Wen, why are you practicing just after returning? The Martial Arts Circle Convention is bustling, yet you are not going to watch. That’s so boring.

Treating Mo Wen’s room as her own house, Gu Jingman pushed the door open and entered.
It had been two days since they returned from the Goddess’s World, but she had not seen Mo Wen leave the room for two days. Now that they were finally together, she wanted to catch up with him, yet he spent all his time on practice.

What’s there to see? Observing the battle of those martial art practitioners is meaningless when we have already reached the realm we’re in.

Mo Wen laughed. He had been so busy refining the soul potion for the past two days. Where would he have found the time to watch the Martial Arts Circle Convention? Moreover, the Dafang Sect had already been eliminated.
Indeed, the battle among common martial art practitioners was no longer enticing to Mo Wen now that he had reached his present realm.

Why is it meaningless? Don’t you look down on the world heroes! Many practitioners from the Hidden Martial Arts Strain are participating in this Martial Arts Circle Convention. The strong practitioners sent out by the sects from the Hidden Martial Arts Strain are unlike those juniors who took part in the Heavenly List Tournament. Although there’re no martial art practitioners from the immortal practice realm, most of them are Infinite Powerhouses.

Gu Jingman rolled her eyes at Mo Wen. Mo Wen is so boring, she thought. Even if the Martial Arts Circle Convention had nothing much to see as he said, couldn’t he just give up a bit of his time and go with her?
Besides, the strong practitioners sent out by the Hidden martial arts strain were exceptional. As the Huatian Palace forbade martial art practitioners who have become immortals to participate in the Martial Arts Circle Convention, there were no old folks from the immortal practice realm. Instead, many Infinite Powerhouse took part, and some of them were pretty good. Even if they were to face martial art practitioners from the Immortal Practice Realm, they might be able to put up a pretty good fight.
The Martial Arts Circle Convention was a competition among the martial art practitioners. In a way, those who became immortals would have already exceeded the level of a common martial art practitioner, so it would not be wrong to call them immortal cultivators. In fact, martial art practitioners who became immortals also called themselves immortal cultivators, and they also pursued the Way of the Immortal. It was just that they were slightly more special when compared to the other immortal cultivators.
The Immortal Practice Realm was what the common martial art practitioners called the realm of the immortal cultivators. In reality, that type of immortal cultivator was no different from common immortal cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation world. They were in the same realm as immortal cultivators, like the Primordial Soul Realm, Tide Changing Realm, Supreme Profundity Realm, and Divine Illusionary Realm…
Becoming immortal was just the process of the martial art practitioner undergoing a complete transformation, transcending worldliness and achieving divinity. Strictly speaking, it was not a realm. Common martial art practitioners belonging to the Immortal Practice Realm were called Primordial Soul Realm martial art practitioners or Tide Changing Realm martial art practitioners in the Immortal Cultivation World…

Infinite Powerhouse?

Mo Wen was slightly intrigued. With his current ability, he obviously felt a degree of disdain for common martial art practitioners, but an Infinite Powerhouse would be a different story. Some of the formidable Infinite Powerhouse possessed the ability to kill Primordial Soul Realm martial art practitioners. He had yet to become immortal, and his power was, at most, at the level of an Infinite Powerhouse.

Of course, the Hidden Martial Arts Strain is remarkable. It is said that there are Tide Changing Realm martial art practitioners among some of their powerful sects. Many hidden martial arts sects have come to take part in the Martial Arts Circle Convention this time, and some of them are really formidable.
Gu Jingman had watched some of the battles among the hidden martial arts sects over the past two days, and she could say that the top eight sects were almost all from The Hidden Martial Arts Strain.

Tide Changing Realm martial art practitioners!
Mo Wen was astonished. He did not expect such martial art practitioners to exist in the main space. The situation in this world was special. Truly formidable strong practitioners were either in the Spirit Realm or the Demon Realm, spaces which had been separated. The Source World, on the other hand, had declined in power.
If a martial art practitioner wished to practice to the Tide Changing Realm level in the Source World, it would be extremely tough. It was said that the Palace Lord and a few Deputy Palace Lords from Huatian Palace were all formidable warriors who came from the Spirit Realm. After all, with the scarcity of resources in the Source World, it would be almost impossible to practice to that level.

The Hidden Martial Arts Strain does have Tide Changing Realm martial art practitioners, and they are extraordinary. Do you know what the Hidden Martial Arts Strain belongs to?

Gu Jingman became solemn. Over the past two days, she had managed to obtain quite a lot of information on the Hidden Martial Arts Strain. It would probably be hard for other people to get such information because the Hidden Martial Arts Strain was rather reclusive and xenophobic. In other words, they looked down on martial art practitioners from other places as they felt that they were more superior, so they would not bother talking much to the other martial art practitioners.
However, Gu Jingman was different and not just because of her cultivation. With her incredible beauty and irresistible charm, she was like an enchantress, and she made the disciples from Hidden Martial Arts Strain fall head over heels for her. They revealed everything.

Where?
Mo Wen was curious. The Hidden Martial Arts Strain had always been a mystery. He could not comprehend how Hua Xia had been able to come up with so many martial art practitioners with such formidable powers. He had asked Mo Qingtian before, but he had not wanted to reveal much. Most martial art practitioners only knew about a little about the Hidden Martial Arts Strain, but they had no idea where it came from.

The Peng Lai Immortal Realm,
Gu Jingman replied.
You might not be very clear about the origin of Peng Lai Immortal Realm, but you probably have heard some of the rumors.


The Peng Lai Immortal Realm!
Mo Wen gasped. How could he not know of the famous Peng Lai Immortal Realm? It was said that this realm differed from the usual Floating Mystery Dimension, which was a sacred place that could accommodate immortal cultivators for their practice. As such, it was also known as the Little Spirit Realm. It had long been said that the Peng Lai Immortal Realm was a gathering place for the cultivators, and many of them lived there. It might be hard to see an immortal cultivator in other Floating Mystery Dimensions, but they were everywhere in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.
The Little Spirit Realm was eminent, and there were even rumors that the headquarters of the Huatian Palace was inside the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.

The Peng Lai Immortal Realm has always been regarded as part of the mysterious Floating Mystery Dimension by martial art practitioners from the outside world, but that this isn’t the case in reality. To be more accurate, the Peng Lai Immortal Realm isn’t in the Floating Mystery Dimension, but a part of the main space. It exists as one along with the main space,
Gu Jingman explained slowly.

So you’re saying that the Peng Lai Immortal Realm is the main space?
Mo Wen widened his eyes in shock. The main space lacked resources and rarely had any highly skilled practitioners, so everyone thought that it was below other Floating Mystery Dimensions. He had never expected that the most mysterious and so-called First Floating Mystery Dimension was actually a part of the main space and not a Floating Mystery Dimension at all!

That’s right! It has something to do with hidden secrets from ancient times…
Gu Jingman continued.
