577 Heart of the Martial Arts God

Mo Wen seemed to have undergone a complete change. His eyes were especially bright. A person who had only seen rivers would naturally sigh in awe when they finally saw the sea.

If he performed the martial arts that he had cultivated before, it would be on a whole new level now.

In the two days that followed, he cultivated the three Glory techniques. His cultivation was especially successful because he had gotten sufficient understanding of the martial arts way. As such, everything fell into place.

The essence of the Glory of Thunder technique was in its strength and explosive force. It was not stunning when stationary, but it was like thunder when it moved!

Once a person succeeded in cultivating the Glory of Thunder, they would be able to raise their strength by two to three times in the first stage. Their combat abilities would be terrifying.

The essence of the Glory of Wind was in its speed and space. When one succeeded in cultivating the Glory of Wind, they would be able to move like the wind, appearing and disappearing without a trace. In the first stage of the Glory of Wind, a person could raise their speed by two or three times. And if they had an environmental advantage, they could be even faster.

Mo Wen was certain that as long as he could cultivate to the first stage of the Glory of Wind, then even practitioners at the peak of the Golden Elixir realm might not even be able to catch up with him.

As for the Glory of Cloud, it was relatively more complicated. Its essence was in its mysteriousness. Or perhaps, one could say that the Glory of Cloud was a skill in which not having any moves was better than having a move. It turned a weakness into wonder. Even a simple punch could lead to innumerable changes.

Of the three Glory techniques, the Glory of Cloud was the most difficult to learn. If he could learn just a bit of it, he would definitely be able to become a great martial arts master.

Two days later, Mo Wen emerged from his cultivation. He did not look any different, but his disposition was completely changed. He was no longer as flighty and casual as before but instead seemed more reserved and trustworthy.

He had returned back to basics. The changes in his disposition that had come in the last two complete transformations and now gone; he had returned to the beginning. Mo Wen, at this time, looked not much different from before he had entered the beast's lair.

"I've already cultivated in the first step of the three Glory techniques. How can I get out?"

Mo Wen asked gloomily, holding on to the three tail feathers. He had been trapped in this place for five or six days already. Even though there was sufficient food in the medicine spiritual ring, nobody wanted to be restricted.

Mo Wen had gained plenty in the time he had spent there but did not wish to stay in the great hall for the rest of his life.

The three tail feathers seemed to be able to understand Mo Wen. The moment he asked his question, the gold tail feather unleashed a brilliant glow. The glow swept through the entire great hall, making it glow gold. There was a ray of especially brilliant light in the golden light that shone directly on the Inferno Star Lord's body.

The elder in white immediately emitted a brilliant white light. The white light immediately drowned out the gold light. The gold tail feather did not shine again but struggled out of Mo Wen's hand. It flew with a whoosh to the space above the Inferno Star Lord's body.

The same thing happened to the green and blue tail feathers. They wrenched themselves free from Mo Wen's hand forcefully and flew to the space above the elder. The three feathers circled above him incessantly, releasing a dim glow as if afraid they might startle the elder.

Mo Wen could sense that the three tail feathers seemed sad. Their sadness had even affected him. He felt that it was odd. Could it be that the feathers had emotions and could feel happiness, anger, sadness, and joy?

However, Mo Wen had no time to overthink things. He was shocked to discover that the Inferno Star Lord's body was melting bit by bit in the white light. His body disappeared bit by bit from top to bottom, turning into rays of white light.

He quickly bowed down with a respectful expression, sending the elder from tens of thousands of years ago off for the last time. No matter what, he had learned a lot in the Inferno Star Hall. The Inferno Star Lord was almost a teacher to him.

In just moments, the body of the Inferno Star Lord disappeared completely, leaving behind a ball of white light suspended in mid-air, unleashing light that shone for hundreds and thousands of miles.

"My legacy goes to those who are fated to get it. One day, I hope that the heart of the martial arts god will go to one who will continue the legacy of the martial arts god's brilliance." An ethereal voice reverberated around the hall. The voice sounded like it contained the might of heaven. Those who heard it could not help but feel awe and respect for it. It was the sound of God's will.

Mo Wen was confused. What was the heart of the martial arts god?

The ball of white light flew up forcefully and then collided with the statue of a deity behind Mo Wen. Suddenly, there was a bright light and the statue seemed to have become alive. An endless power rolled across the space, covering it from top to bottom.

Mo Wen felt that he was facing the will of heaven and earth right now, and was directed by all things on earth.

The determination of the Inferno Star Lord that Mo Wen had earlier heard was not as magnificent as what he encountered now. The deity statue was of a middle-aged man wearing military armor. He held a long sword and his hair and beard flew in the air. His commitment to war rolled through the earth.

A ball of silver light flew out from the statue's chest. It was the size of a fist. It disappeared the moment it appeared and then appeared again, this time in front of Mo Wen. Then, it entered Mo Wen's forehead.

Crash! Mo Wen felt as if there were countless bombs detonating in his mind. His mind went completely blank and all his thoughts ceased.

After an unknown amount of time, he slowly regained his wits and opened his eyes slightly. Light shone into his eyes and his surroundings became clear to him once again. The large hall was still the same. Everything had calmed down. However, the body of the Inferno Star Lord had disappeared. The large and tall statue had collapsed onto the ground. Yet, the three tail feathers were still suspended in the air.

Mo Wen's sight was slightly blurry as if he had just awoken. Then, it grew clearer and clearer.

"Martial Arts God! So the Inferno Star Lord was one of the five emperors under the Martial Arts God, called the Inferno Emperor. As for the Martial Arts God, it was said that he was a terrifying existence in ancient times."

"Heart of the Martial Arts God?" Mo Wen stroked his chin. The silver ball of light that had flown out from the statue earlier seemed to be the heart of the martial arts God. However, it was not complete and was only one part out of five.

It was said that something earth-shattering had happened in those ancient times. The Martial Arts God had fallen for some reason, leaving behind a Martial Arts God Heart. It had been divided into five parts and divided equally among his five emperors.

In the information left behind to Mo Wen by the Inferno Star Lord, if the pieces of the heart of the Martial Arts God were to be combined into one, the person who accomplished it would be the next Martial Arts God.

The Martial Arts God had divided one heart into five parts and given it to five emperors was because he was thinking of selecting one of them to be the next Martial Arts God.

However, it was a pity that the major incident had not only hurt the Martial Arts God but also meant that the five emperors had not had the time to choose the final successor before they all fell one by one.

The Inferno Star Lord was the fourth emperor to fall. After his death, he sealed his portion of the heart in the Martial Arts God statue in the hope that his successor could put the Martial Arts God's heart together again one day and fulfill his dying wish.

Mo Wen stroked his chin. He had not expected that the legacy of the Inferno Star Lord was not the greatest part of this incredible encounter. There was still the legacy of the Martial Arts God.

Martial Arts God? What kind of existence was a person who could become a God! Could the Demon Devil's Heart he had encountered the last time be of the same level as the Martial Arts God?

Mo Wen did not understand the immortal cultivation world of this space. He could not imagine what kind of level the Martial Arts God was in. However, he could see from the power of the Inferno Star Lord that the Martial Arts God was probably the strongest amongst those he knew.

The heart of the Martial Arts God was most likely an advanced power. But he also knew that so many years had passed. The probability of him being able to gather all five Martial Arts God heart was very small.

As such Mo Wen did not have many ideas about the heart of the Martial Arts God. He would merely treat it as something interesting he had discovered.

The three tail feathers that were suspended in mid-air suddenly emitted a brilliant ray of light that went through heaven and earth. The space collapsed wherever the light passed, showing cracks of darkness that were endlessly dark.

Mo Wen was shocked by the tear in the space and the cracks that appeared. The three tail feathers were too strange.

The next moment, the three tail feathers flew to Mo Wen and landed in his hand. Then, the earth spun and Mo Wen did not know anything else.

The next time he awoke, Mo Wen found himself in a dark cave where only a faint light penetrated.

He looked around him and discovered that this was an underground tunnel. There was only one path in front of him. As for where the path led, Mo Wen did not know.

"I should have already left that fragmented space." Mo Wen looked at his surroundings thoughtfully. He discovered that the temperature of heaven and earth had fallen and it had become cold. The shocking cold meant that he was probably on the fifth level of the beast lair.

Previously, in the fragmented space, the temperature was very normal and it was not this cold.

"I'm back." Mo Wen laughed at himself mockingly. He had not expected that he would leave that fragmented space in this manner. The three tail feathers were in control from the beginning to the end.

He had too many questions, but he could not think through them right now. Mo Wen did not think. After all, he would not be able to understand all the things of that level no matter how hard he tried. However, he had gained plenty on his journey to the fragmented space.

Even though his current cultivation was still at the peak of the Embryonic Breathing realm, the breadth of his inner Qi was already close to that of an intermediate Golden Elixir realm practitioner. Furthermore, his body had experienced a complete change.

He was certain that he would be able to easily defeat a practitioner of the intermediate Golden Elixir realm warrior now.

Mo Wen followed the path and continued forward. Even though he did not know where he was, he would be able to get out of there as long as he followed the path.

However, he had not traveled 200 meters before a ray of light suddenly shone from him. Then, a token flew out of his clothes.

"Sound Resonating Talisman." A flash of surprise was visible in Mo Wen's eyes. This sound resonating talisman looked exactly like the one he had given to Chen Wuhui. The two talismans could sense each other.

Actually, he could not yet make a true Sound Resonating Talisman with his current abilities. His talisman only had a simple messaging ability and could only transmit a rough idea. For example, Chen Wuhui was unable to send him a comprehensive message and could only send a general gist through the sensing abilities of the two talismans.
