Chapter 976: Nine-Day Art of Creation

The most treasured part of the Sea of Spiritual Flowers was the sea of spiritual light and the hundred-year cycle. This was quite a mysterious power. Even if it could not directly enhance a person’s power, it would subtly alter their life.

Even during ancient times, this flower was rare. Today, the people whose Primordial Soul had the sea of spiritual light were probably few and far between. Mo Wen had not expected that the ancient Creation Sect would use this as a reward.

An ancient rune condensed from the space and, as had been the case with the other runes, flew quickly into Mo Wen’s hands. He now held five of them.

The next instant, Mo Wen felt a wave of power descend upon him before it transported him somewhere else.

He appeared in another ancient hall. The room was rather spacious and covered an area of dozens of square kilometers. It was like a residential area for giants and did not seem like it had been made by humans.

“Ten Thousand Technique Palace!”

Mo Wen’s eyes were filled with joy. The sixth test was in the Ten Thousand Technique Palace of the Creation Sect. This had been thoroughly described in the information Mo Qingge had given him.

This test assessed one’s understanding. The people who made it this far would probably derive some sort of benefit from this test.

For regular people, the previous five rounds would probably have been fruitless. However, if they made it to the sixth round, they would stand to gain something.

This was because the Ten Thousand Technique Palace where the sixth test was held was the treasure trove of the Creation Sect, and many of the immortal secret methods that held remarkable power were stored there. There were a huge number of such methods lying around.

Mo Wen stood in the Ten Thousand Technique Palace, feeling like a tiny ant that had crawled into a gigantic palace. Even the simplest of ornaments in the hall were several floors high. There were thousands upon thousands of jade pillars spanning the entire area of the hall. The pillars were distributed neatly in the space and seemed to fill the entire hall.

“Spiritual pillars of enlightenment!”

Mo Wen’s eyes were glowing. The spiritual pillars of enlightenment were an ancient relic that didn’t exist in the modern world. They served a similar function to the Inheritance Pearl, though they were much more impressive.

Not only were the spiritual pillars of enlightenment capable of recording all sorts of secret methods to achieve remarkable power, but they could also imitate them so skilfully it was almost impossible to distinguish the imitation from the original. It was as if there were a master teaching and performing for you right in front of your eyes. It was better than the Inheritance Pearl.

Besides, the Inheritance Pearl could only be used once. The spiritual pillars of enlightenment, on the other hand, could be used an unlimited number of times. It was the most common way to pass on teachings in both the immemorial and ancient times.

In the spacious Ten Thousand Technique Palace, there were tens of thousands of spiritual pillars of enlightenment, and each pillar contained another countless number of spiritual pillars of enlightenment.

On top of that, the things that could be recorded in the spiritual pillars of enlightenments were often unusual.

“The ultimate treasure trove! Every last detail of the Creation Sect’s history is probably in here.”

Mo Wen took a deep breath. His eyes were gleaming as he fixed his gaze on the spiritual pillars of enlightenment. Those who could make it this far could all walk away with a secret method of remarkable power, but the level of the secret method they could attain depended on their talent.

The sixth test assessed your comprehension. The better your understanding, the greater the reward.

Mo Wen walked around the Ten Thousand Technique Palace. There were forty or fifty thousand spiritual pillars of enlightenment in this room, and the secret method to remarkable power recorded in each one was different from the next. On top of that, the different secret methods were also divided into ranks. Within the Ten Thousand Technique Palace, the secret methods were split into 12 ranks. The key to distinguishing between the different ranks lay in the golden patterns of the spiritual pillars of enlightenment—one golden pattern indicated it was the lowest rank and 12 indicated the highest rank.

However, being able to absorb a secret method to remarkable power from the Ten Thousand Technique Palace was a treasure in its own right, even if there was only one golden pattern on the spiritual pillars of enlightenment. Even a secret method to a remarkable power of the lowest rank was likely to be a top-grade rite of passage to remarkable power or even one of a superb rank.

As for the highest? Even Heavenly Paths to remarkable powers of legend existed.

In the Creation Sect in the past, almost every single one of the spiritual pillars of enlightenment with twelve golden patterns was a Heavenly Path to remarkable power.

As for whether they were small, medium, or large paths... There was just no way to determine how many of those there were.

However, whether or not you could learn it hinged entirely on your ability. Those who could make it this far were permitted to rest here for a month. You were only allowed to leave with the secret methods to remarkable power if you could comprehend the remarkable power on the spiritual pillar of enlightenment within that time. Otherwise, there was no way for you to grasp the entirety of the secret technique. You would lose all memories of the Ten Thousand Technique Palace once you left.

Mo Wen was not an ambitious man. He wasn’t really interested in whether it was a large or mid path to remarkable power. He knew that, based on his abilities, being able to realize even a small path to remarkable power was no easy task, so tackling the large and mid paths to remarkable power would be practically impossible for him.

The highest order of the seven Glory techniques was a large path to remarkable power, but Mo Wen had not gotten very far despite the amount of time he had spent cultivating. He hadn’t even made it into the second phase of the preliminary stage. He would be dreaming if he thought he could take a large path remarkable power away with him within a month.

Mo Wen might have cultivated a Celestial Body through the Heavenly Path of remarkable power, but the Celestial Body was originally something the Heaven and Earth trigram founded upon his particular circumstances. One could even say that it was tailor-made for him and all he had to do was practice according to the drills the Heaven and Earth trigram had set for him. There was no need for him to think of anything else.

Mo Wen wandered around the Ten Thousand Technique Palace in search of a small path to remarkable power that could catch his eye. The Ten Thousand Technique Palace seemed to have everything in it: all sorts of secret methods to remarkable powers, alchemy arts, manufacturing techniques, stratagems, puppet mastery, gimmick techniques, talismans techniques... It even had quite a few of the most niche and taboo techniques.

But Mo Wen paid no attention to those. He was looking for a small path release technique, preferably one of a high mid-rank. To him, staying alive was the most important thing, and the greater the release technique, the greater his ability to protect his life.

However, while Mo Wen was still deliberating, something strange suddenly happened. His medicine spiritual ring suddenly emitted a beam of purple light. As he looked at it, the Purple Bottle Gourd came out on its own.

The gourd was rather intricate. The strange thing was that it seemed to be alive. The moment it stepped out, it leaped up onto Mo Wen’s shoulder. Its body seemed to elongate as it looked around as if taking in its surroundings.

“It’s you again!”

Mo Wen was shocked. He had seen the mysteries of the little Purple Bottle Gourd long ago, but this gourd seemed to have fallen into a deep slumber after he left the Fighting Spirit Tower. It had been unresponsive, and it was as if it had died.

Now, for reasons Mo Wen didn’t understand, the little Purple Bottle Gourd came out from his medicine spiritual ring and carefully took in its surroundings. It was almost as if it were a person. Then, as if it had discovered something, it began to jump about Mo Wen’s body excitedly.

“What are you up to?” Mo Wen looked at the little Purple Bottle Gourd in confusion.

Of course, there was no way the gourd could respond to him. It transformed into a beam of purple light that enveloped Mo Wen and instantly flew into the depths of the hall.

In the deepest parts of the Ten Thousand Technique Palace, there was a rather special spiritual pillar of enlightenment. This one was situated right in the center of the hall and bore no golden patterns on it, but it was surrounded by spiritual pillars of enlightenment that had 12 golden patterns on them.

“Creation Pillar!”

Mo Wen could tell, from just a single glance, that this was the Creation Pillar. The information that Mo Qingge had handed him contained details of the Creation Pillar. This was the core of the spiritual pillars of inheritance in the Creation Sect, and it was related to a legend from the ancient times.

But Mo Wen hadn’t even considered this one up until now. Even after entering the hall, it hadn’t crossed his mind at all.

“What are you plotting?” Mo Wen looked at the little Purple Bottle Gourd strangely. The thing had brought him here, and for what?

The little Purple Bottle Gourd shone a beam of purple light on the spiritual pillars, and a strange scene unfolded. The Creation Pillar actually morphed into a mouth and, all of a sudden, swallowed Mo Wen whole.

...

“Nine-Day Art of Creation!”

Mo Wen shook his head. He was in a daze. There was a wealth of information repeatedly spinning about in his head, and it only abated after quite a bit of time had passed.

Mo Wen looked around to discover that he was standing in a snowfield. The snow and ice stretched for thousands of miles, and Mo Wen was covered in snow as cold air blew straight into his face.

It seemed as if he had been in the Ten Thousand Technique Palace just a second ago. Why did he feel like he had been transported there in just a split second?

Mo Wen looked around the area, confused. He guessed that this was probably the seventh test, which was also the most life-threatening test on the Path of Creation—the Hundred Battle Test!

“Why am I here at the seventh test, the Hundred Battle Test? Wasn’t I just at the Ten Thousand Technique Palace a moment ago, picking out secret methods to remarkable powers?”

Mo Wen shook his head. Earlier on, his head had been flooded with too much information at the same time, and he was left feeling dizzy.

Wait a minute!

Mo Wen suddenly recalled something. His eyes flew open, and he was struck dumb with shock.

“The Nine-Day Art of Creation! Isn’t that the supreme remarkable power that the legends of the ancient Creation Sect mentioned? I have obtained the first manuscript of the Nine-Day Art of Creation!”

After his brain registered the information, Mo Wen finally managed to react.

The Nine-Day Art of Creation was an out-of-this-world skill of the ancient Creation Sect. At the same time, it was also the foundation of the sect. Back then, the Creation Sect had been so powerful, and they could have done it without the Nine-Day Art of Creation.

The Nine-Day Art of Creation was also known as the Nine Creation Manuscripts. All the information that had flooded his brain was the first of the Nine Creation Manuscripts.

“To think I obtained the Nine Creation Manuscripts from the Creation Pillar. But I thought I could only leave with this if I comprehended it? I don’t recall having done so...”

Mo Wen was confused. When it came to an astounding skill like the Nine-Day Art of Creation, it was difficult for him to even make sense of it, let alone comprehend it... And yet there was no doubt about it. The first of the Nine-Day Art of Creation now appeared in his head.

“Could it be...”

Mo Wen abruptly started to search his surroundings, and he managed to find the Purple Bottle Gourd in his medicine spiritual ring. The gourd had gone back into his ring and was currently motionless, lying amidst a pile of items.

Mo Wen looked at his hand again and discovered that another rune had appeared on his palm. This made six runes all together.

Since he now had the Nine-Day Art of Creation, Mo Wen had attained the highest achievement on the test of comprehension. That was why he had obtained this rune. Although this was the highest level of comprehension, Mo Wen was still perplexed.

“Just how did the Purple Bottle Gourd come into existence?” Mo Wen was rather shocked. The little gourd had been exceptionally mysterious even when he had been at the Fighting Spirit Tower. Now that he was in this ancient land, it was just as curious!

Mo Wen regained control of his emotions. Attaining the Nine-Day Art of Creation was something he had never thought about. Now that he had it, there was no doubt that this was a favorable outcome. Although he only had the first manuscript, he knew full well that this one manuscript was a terrifying force to be reckoned with.

He would go as far as to say that he did not dare to make the secret of attaining the Nine-Day Art of Creation public because he was afraid that the whole of the Spirit Realm would hunt him down once word got out.
