Mo Wen looked at Lord Merciless with a smile. The person had tried time and time again to harm him, and he remembered all of it.

This time, there was nothing but horror in Lord Merciless’ eyes. He had never expected that he would come to such an end. He had come from a very far place to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension just to see for himself how Mo Wen would perish in the hands of the big sects, and yet... yet... how could this be?!

The big sects from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm and all the prestigious and renowned elders from the realm were massacred by this measly little person from a mystery dimension as insignificant as the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. That’s right! They were massacred—it was a one-sided pursuit.

Lord Merciless was absolutely ready to die now. Why did he insist on gloating? Why did he insist on coming all this way to watch Mo Wen die? Was it not enough to merely wait in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm for the news to reach him? Why did he have to be so stupid? Why did he have to be so stupid?

Yang Zonglin’s face was pale as well. He could not utter a single word for the better half of the day, and he could not understand why he came all the way to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension either. There was obviously nothing here that concerned him, and he was merely a spectator of the entire fiasco, so why did he insist on coming here?

“We harbor no ill intentions towards you, Mo Wen, and we have no intention of taking you down either. We only came here to watch the show—the others are the ones who covet your treasure. You know how the big sects are. We wouldn’t dare go after what they want. Besides, it’s not like we’re strong enough to. We only came here to watch.”

Yang Zonglin tried his best to quell the fear within him. Now, he could only hope to preserve his life through reasoning.

“You have no ill intentions towards me? Is that so?”

Mo Wen laughed coldly, then said mildly, “Then let me ask you this: were there any ill intentions when the Blood Evil Temple had me ambushed in Li’an City the other time? When your Temple Head had gone all the way to hunt me down... did he have any ill intentions?

“That... that’s our Temple Head’s affairs and it has nothing to do with us. What can we disciples do if our Temple Head wants to do something?” Lord Merciless followed up with his own response.

He had not been present during that operation in Li’an City, but it was not because he did not want to be there. It was because his cultivation was too low and he had no right to appear at such an occasion.

“Ah, you’re Xue Chu’s son, no? You should pay for your father’s debts, then. That day, Xue Chu came to hunt me down. That’s on you now.”

Mo Wen stepped forward slowly. The air around him seemed to be distorted because of his presence. All the people from the Blood Evil Temple had been rooted to the ground, unable to move an inch. Even the best of them were but Infinite Powerhouses, not even at the Primordial Soul Realm yet. In front of Mo Wen, they were like ants in front of a mountain.

“No... Don’t kill me. I’m not his son. I’ll cut all ties with him now. Don’t kill me, please, I’m begging you...”

Lord Merciless lost the composure he had before. In the face of death, he was frightened and panicked.

Yang Zonglin and the rest of the people from the Blood Temple Sect looked ghastly pale as well. They looked at Mo Wen in despair.

“I wonder what the Blood Evil Temple Head’s reaction would look like if he were here.” Mo Wen laughed. Just to live, this punk was willing to go as far as severing his ties with his father.

After a beat, all the people of the Blood Evil Temple had died in the forest.

However, eliminating the Blood Evil Temple was just the beginning—next were the Sinister Wind Sect, the Petrification Cult, the Sword Valley... One by one, the martial arts practitioners from the sects were mercilessly killed by Mo Wen. If they were allowed to barge into the Intentionless City, the people of the Ming Palace would be in a much more dire situation. As they were intruders, they had to be aware that they must pay the price.

Above, in the sky, five or six Tide Changing Realm cultivators banded together to attack the Ink Scaled King. However, they still could not match up to the Ink Scaled King. In a short span of time, the whole bunch had been killed by him. The entire battle had been in his favor and there was absolutely no tension.

When Mo Wen and the Ink Scaled King returned to Intentionless City, everyone had been shocked. A lot of the disciples in the Ming Palace did not think their own sect was this powerful. After a moment of silence, an earth-shaking cheer rang out in the Intentionless City. In the next moment, excitement was written all over everyone’s faces. This was because the big sects from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm had been ceaselessly intruding their city, and the Ming Palace disciples had been under oppression for far too long. They had been terrified at every second, and some had even been so overwhelmed by the stress that they had betrayed the Ming Palace and had fled. Those who were left were staunchly loyal to the Ming Palace.

When everyone realized their own sect was this powerful and this capable of taking down the large sects from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, they heaved a huge sigh of relief. At the same time, a deep sense of pride and belonging swelled.

“Are all of them dead?” Wang Yinru asked as she walked over. There had been quite a few enemies who had been hiding in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, so they might have missed a few people.

“All the ones who cropped up nearby are dead. There will definitely be a few we missed but they won’t be a cause for concern, so we won’t have to bother about them,” Mo Wen remarked mildly. It was impossible to completely get all of them out, and there would definitely still be people hiding in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. After all, Intentionless City was a huge place, so it was possible for someone to be hiding in disguise in the city.

“The big sects from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm run deep and they have a few Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators. I’m afraid they’ll fight back...” Pei Fengwu remarked worriedly.

She was rather familiar with the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Now that those big sects had suffered such a big loss in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, there was no way they would take it lying down. Although Mo Wen had demonstrated an impressive prowess, he was still a drop in the ocean in comparison to the big sects.

Wang Yinru frowned as she listened. Concern was written all over her face. She already knew why the big sect had made the journey to come all the way here—it was because they were after their treasures. It was completely shameless of them. They were such an established sect, and yet they had no qualms about resorting to such treachery.

“Let’s just roll with the punches,” Mo Wen remarked mildly.

After the bloodbath, it was peaceful in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension for quite a few days. No one else had dared stirred trouble. However, Intentionless City did not let down its guard. Everyone knew that the people from the big sects would return.

In a secret chamber, Mo Wen and Gu Jingman were alone.

“Mo Wen, the changes on your body are too radical. Was there another miraculous encounter?” Gu Jingman asked with a smile.

She sat cross-legged across Mo Wen with her chin propped on one hand. Mo Wen was honestly too much. She had tried so hard to catch up to him but to no avail. On the contrary, the gap between them had only grown wider. Initially, she thought she had surpassed him, only to be disappointed.

“Hey, these miraculous encounters are just business as usual for me.” Mo Wen looked unbothered.

“Show-off. Would it kill you to pretend to be humble?” Gu Jingman was speechless.

“You’re the one to talk. You managed to pull off the Red Lotus Hellfire, so your miraculous encounter wasn’t a regular one, huh? You should be careful with that, don’t overdo it.”

Mo Wen looked at Gu Jingman, a little fear lingering in him. That woman had absolutely no regard for consequences— or rather, it was more accurate to say that she had no idea how terrifying the Red Lotus Hellfire was.

“Alright, alright, I got it. What did you call me here for? It’s not because you missed me so much that you wanted a secluded place to quietly stare at me, right?” Gu Jingman said with a chuckle.

“Haha, don’t be disgusting. You’re the last person I’d miss.” Mo Wen rolled his eyes.

“There, there. I know you didn’t mean that. Boys these days never say what they mean.” Gu Jingman smiled.

Mo Wen said nothing.

In terms of shamelessness, Mo Wen had always thought of himself as way behind Gu Jingman.

I actually did have a miraculous encounter on the Path of Creation. I’ll spare you the details, but I have some Spiritual Transforming Stones with me. They should be a great help to you. Maybe they’ll even help you in cultivating a Light of Creation.”

Mo Wen waved his hand and a pile of Spiritual Transforming Pearls appeared. He did not need to worry about anyone discovering the treasures on him now that he was in the secret chamber. Such a huge pile of Spiritual Transforming Pearls was a lot more precious than the Sacred Fire Sword and other treasures from the Divine Illusionary Realm.

“What are these? They look like spiritual stones. What’s the difference between a Spiritual Transforming Stone and a spiritual stone?”

Gu Jingman picked up a stone, curious. She was not from the Immortal Cultivation world and there were a lot of things about that world that she did not know about. She had on her the Blood God’s heritage, so she was inclined towards the systems of the western world. Anyone else would definitely be shocked at such a large number of Spiritual Transforming Pearls, but Gu Jingman had no response at all.

“There’s a huge difference. No amount of spiritual stones can compare to a single Spiritual Transforming Stone. You don’t have to bother too much with the details, all you need to know is that these will help you a lot.” Mo Wen rolled his eyes. A Spiritual Transforming Pearl was not something he could buy with spiritual stones.

“Alright, I knew you’d treat your older sister well. You’ll only give her the good stuff.” Gu Jingman laughed coquettishly.

Am I that good a person?

A question floated in Mo Wen’s head. Of course, he would never discuss this with Gu Jingman, or Gu Jingman would go from laughing like a pretty flower to looking like a mother tiger.

The Spiritual Transforming Pearl contained refined Creation Qi—Creation Qi more refined than that in the Pool of Creation. This was Creation Qi that was so refined it was basically flawless. Theoretically speaking, amassing enough Creation Qi would have a better effect than cultivating in the Pool of Creation.

At the very least, Xiao Jinghe and the rest did not encounter something like that when they entered the Pool of Creation. They had trained there but they might not have cultivated the Light of Creation. Once enough Spiritual Transforming Pearls like these had been amassed, one would definitely be able to cultivate the Light of Creation.

Of course, there were tiers to the Light of Creation. The one they had cultivated was an ordinary one. If they wanted to go one step further, they needed a secret technique to cultivate the Light of Creation, such as the Nine-day art of Creation or something else.

However, the most basic Light of Creation was good enough. It was something that everyone under the sky would scramble for. Wanting anything more was honestly excessive and unreasonable.

Not everyone had the good fortune of directly acquiring the invigorating properties of the Spiritual Transforming Pearl so that they can be reborn.

Mo Wen brought out the Spiritual Transforming Pearls for Gu Jingman’s sake. With the Creation Qi of the Spiritual Transforming Pearls, her entire body could be reborn and she could take the opportunity to break through to the Tide Changing Realm. That would be a huge help to her cultivation in the future, and it could even determine her future achievements.

As time went by, Mo Wen stayed by Gu Jingman’s side and watched as she absorbed Spiritual Transforming Pearl after Spiritual Transforming Pearl.
