A woman’s words could be taken lightly sometimes and you could let it enter one ear and leave the other, but sometimes you had no choice but to take their words to heart.
Now, for example, Mo Wen could tell something was off just from their words.
“Gu Jingman was already on the verge of breaking through, and all l did was give her that push. Honestly, she could have reached the Tide Changing Realm even without me,” Mo Wen said derisively.
“Sister Gu Jingman is so lucky to have someone looking out for her at any given moment, and she’s taken care of even for her cultivation,” Wang Yinru said with a smile that did not reach her eyes.
“Ahem, Sister Yinru, I actually care quite a bit about your cultivation as well, but your foundation is still too shallow so it’s not wise for me to intervene too much, lest I wind up harming you. After all, you can only rely on yourself when it comes to cultivation, and external strength will always only be just added support. But don’t worry because I’ve already come up with a perfect plan for cultivation and all you have to do is follow my plan. If you go about things as I instruct, you’ll definitely be able to pull off a drastic change like what Gu Jingman did.”
Mo Wen felt helpless. The comparison between women had to be nipped in the bud, or it would only exacerbate. He had obviously kept an eye on Wang Yinru’s cultivation; after all, she was basically his right-hand man and she had consistently been helping him take care of the sect. Although he was the sect leader, he basically had nothing to do. This was something he could not afford to play favorites for.
This cultivation plan was something he had been thinking about for a long time. Wang Yinru and Gu Jingman were different. Gu Jingman’s luck was entirely something different and she was basically not human, but Wang Yinru was just an ordinary girl. Both women were cultivating together, at the same time, so he obviously had to put in more effort with regards to Wang Yinru. If he wanted her to undergo a change as drastic, it was not something that could be achieved with just a few Spiritual Transforming Pearl.
With Wang Yinru’s current capabilities, being able to absorb even one Spiritual Transforming Pearl was already amazing. It was not just an issue with the Spiritual Transforming Pearls; rather, Wang Yinru was not at all able to handle that much Creation Qi. Gu Jingman had been able to absorb more than 800 Spiritual Transforming Pearls. Even if Wang Yinru only absorbed one, she would technically still be going through a drastic change, but it would pale in comparison to Gu Jingman. There were no grounds for comparison and her potential in the days to come would be rather limited as well.
The Creation Qi in the Spiritual Transforming Pearls could, theoretically, continuously and unceasingly raise the potential of the human body and change its constitution. However, the effect of absorbing the Spiritual Transforming Pearls was strongest the first time, and subsequent absorption would diminish the effect of the Spiritual Transforming Pearls, ergo diminishing the effect on oneself.
As such, the first absorption of the Spiritual Transforming Pearls was of utmost importance, so it was only natural that Mo Wen did not allow Wang Yinru to absorb the Creation Qi of the Spiritual Transforming Pearls.
According to his plan, he would raise Wang Yinru’s capabilities and cultivation in all aspects in the time to come. When she reached the best state possible, he would let her absorb the Spiritual Transforming Pearls.
“Really? You’ve been planning for this?” Wang Yinru’s eyes glimmered, and she massaged Mo Wen more and more gently.
“Of course.” Mo Wen nodded immediately.
Joy swam in her eyes and she was momentarily speechless
“I’m your team leader, Mo Wen, and I’ve been helping you so much these days. Are you not going to draw up a plan for me too?” Pei Fengwu remarked mildly.
“You’re part of the plan, Pei Fengwu. Ease up—what do you take me for? How could I exclude both of you from benefits?”
Mo Wen patted his chest as a gesture of guarantee. Truth be told, he had never thought about Pei Fengwu at all and had not even expected her to stay in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Speaking of which, there was something he had to say. An extra person was of no actual difference to him, other than the fact that he had to fork out more resources for cultivation. Besides, he had already been planning to raise the overall strength of the Ming Palace in the time to come anyway.
Pei Fengwu fell silent. Then, she gritted her teeth as she said, “I will definitely repay what you have done for me, Mo Wen. Maybe more, but definitely not less.”
She was not someone who liked to take advantage of other people, and she had never made a demand of another person ever since she was born. Mo Wen was the first person she had made a request to.
Upon hearing that, Mo Wen waved his hands. “You’re too polite, Sister Fengwu. There’s no need for such formalities in our relationship.”
Why was this person so polite?
“Well…what kind of relationship do we have?” Pei Fengwu blinked as she replied, her gaze fixed on Mo Wen.
“Uh…”
Mo Wen was shocked. He was just being polite, so he did not expect Pei Fengwu to actually ask such a question. He thought about it carefully—what was his relationship with Pei Fengwu? If he really thought about it, they were not actually close enough for them to be this casual with each other. He could call her his friend, or even his team leader from his days in the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall. Although she had indeed helped him quite a bit, they did not really have much of a relationship outside of that. Was he not pushing it a bit when he phrased it like this?
After thinking about it carefully, Mo Wen was a little embarrassed. He said as he laughed, “At any rate, we have a good relationship, so you don’t have to be polite with me, Sister Fengwu.”
“Then I won’t anymore.” Pei Fengwu actually nodded when she heard him, not at all aware there was something amiss.
“The both of you are dropping formalities left and right. You two are getting pretty close, huh?”
Wang Yinru glanced at Mo Wen, then at Pei Fengwu. The two were really overdoing it with the flirting.
Pei Fengwu’s pretty face turned red when she heard it and she turned away, pretending she did not hear what Wang Yinru said.
Wang Yinru’s words were layered with a weird undertone. Mo Wen startled away suddenly, as though sensing something was off.
…
Pei Fengwu and Wang Yinru were in rather similar situations, and both of them were almost the same in terms of cultivation. Their only difference was that Pei Fengwu’s inherent skills were slightly better than Wang Yinru’s were.
So, there was no need for Mo Wen to draw up a separate plan, and all he had to do was apply on Pei Fengwu the same plan he had drawn up for Wang Yinru.
The two of them were probably the only ones in the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension who enjoyed special treatment. Even if he wanted to raise the rest of the people’s cultivation, Mo Wen would only give them some resources and point them in a general direction because such intricate and comprehensive plans required quite a fair amount of effort and focus.
Of course, items like the Spiritual Transforming Pearls were naturally not something Mo Wen would hand out to just any random person. The number of people in the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension who had the right to Spiritual Transforming Pearls could be counted with a single hand.
Such treasures were, after all, something one could only hope to stumble upon. The more they were used, the more the supply would be depleted, so would it not be a reckless waste of God’s good gifts if he handed it out to just any ordinary disciple or elder? Besides, Mo Wen had no inclination to manage the power of the sect.
In the next two months, Mo Wen remained in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, and it developed rapidly. Shao Tianqi’s death had sent the whole Ming Temple into chaos, and the entire Anti-Ming Faction had been wiped out by the Ming Palace cultivators. A hundred years later, the Ming Palace was finally reunified.
A battle on that scale was obviously not something Mo Wen had to concern himself with. It was enough for him to send out cultivators from the Ming Palace to handle it.
In those two months, he had produced quite a few pills. They were not high ranked, but they were adequate for the sect disciples to use. For the average elders and disciples, it was actually useless to hand them high-level pills.
After months of seclusion, Gu Jingman had finally appeared a few days ago. Not only had she completely healed her injuries, but her cultivation also seemed to have improved a bit.
Wang Yinru and Pei Fengwu, on the other hand, had been in seclusion ever since that day. The two of them seemed to constantly be competing against each other over everything, and they cultivated as if their lives depended on it.
On this day, the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension welcomed a guest.
The guest was cloaked in white robes and exceedingly elegant, an androgynous demon with an otherworldly beautiful and perfect figure.
It was none other than Mo Qingtian.
Mo Wen was not surprised to see Mo Qingtian in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, and he knew why the demon was here.
Mo Wen did not expect for a year to have already passed since the Path of Creation, and it set him back a bit in dealing with Yun Xiaoman’s issue, which was what he had discussed with Mo Qingtian before.
Following Yun Xiaoman’s disappearance, Mo Wen had dragged Mo Qingtian to locate her whereabouts, only to find out that she had been dragged off by people from the Sorcerer Clan to join a Moon Maidens Selection.
Mo Wen had initially planned on waiting for the Sorcerer Clan to hold the Moon Maidens Selection, where he would then blend in with the Huatian Palace delegation and head towards the Ancient Sorcery Space to save Yun Xiaoman.
But a series of events had occurred and led to a delay in his plans. The Sorcerer’s Clan Moon Maidens Selection had long since ended, and even the Huatian Palace delegation had returned.
Mo Wen’s hands were tied. It was not that he did not want to help her, it was just that he had been delayed for too long on the Path of Creation. He had originally planned to only linger in the Pool of Creation for a month before heading out so that he could make it in time to the Moon Maidens Selection.
But it was all to no avail. He was not too sure himself what had happened then, but a year had gone by in a literal blink of an eye and he did not even know what changes had happened to his body before he ended his journey on the Path of Creation. He was still muddleheaded.
Helpless, Mo Wen could only ask Mo Qingtian for help again to see if there was a way to make up for it. The Huatian Palace could not interfere in the affairs of the Sorcerer Clan since their position was too special, so there was absolutely no way he could rely on them to help save Yun Xiaoman.
“You punk, you’re probably able to kill Tide Changing Realm cultivators now, right? I’ve seen people who cultivated quickly, but never one as quick as you.”
Mo Qingtian stared at Mo Wen, somewhat emotional. One could say that she had basically watched as Mo Wen grew, for about three years in total.
Three years! That was all the time he needed to be on par with a Tide Changing Realm cultivator. He was probably still an unrivaled genius, even if placed in comparison with all of the heavens and the earth.
Of the heavens and the earth, there was a special bunch who were likely to be born at the Supreme Profundity Realm, and even the Divine Illusory Realm, because of their unique bloodline and heritage. That breed of people was extremely talented and was born to be high-ranking people, so the accomplishments they could achieve in their days to come were unlimited.
But in Mo Qingtian’s eyes, Mo Wen was not less than them, but he was stronger than them because he had cultivated, step-by-step, as an ordinary person. For an ordinary person to reach the Tide Changing Realm in just three years was way more difficult than those natural-born geniuses. If Mo Wen could carry on like this, he was likely to be even more accomplished than those people in the future.
This was why Mo Wen fully deserved to be called an unrivaled genius, and it was something that would hold up even when compared with all of heaven and earth.
“That’s ridiculous. I still have quite some way to go before I reach your level.”
Mo Wen smiled mildly. He was not the least bit moved because of Mo Qingtian’s praise. To him, being called a genius was nothing more than an undeserved reputation. Strength was the real king, and even the strongest genius would be killed with a wave of a hand in the face of absolute power.
