“Won’t you have some scheme planned to trick me into entering your palace?” Mo Wen asked suspiciously. They were fighting each other to death just moments ago. Mo Wen did not believe that the Multicolor Queen wanted to invite him into the palace just for small talk.
“What’s the matter? Are you afraid? My chambers have never welcomed men before. Now, I have opened its doors to you. It all depends on whether you dare to enter them.” The Multicolor Queen looked playfully at Mo Wen.
“Don’t frighten me. I am easily scared,” Mo Wen said plainly.
The Multicolor Queen felt like her punch had landed on air. This youth was indeed special. She lost interest in teasing him, so she said directly, “If you want to save her, just listen to me.”
After the Multicolor Queen finished speaking, she waved her hand and a colorful light wrapped around Nie Junxue’s body. The light flew into the palace together with the Multicolor Queen.
Mo Wen followed the Multicolor Queen casually. Since he had reached his current level, he was not afraid of her.
The palace of the Multicolor Clan was huge. However, there was only one area for the Multicolor Queen, and it was located at the center of the palace, inside the imperial garden. There were only female maids and guards in the imperial garden. No man had ever dared to enter the queen’s quarters before.
Mo Wen had his hands behind his back as he strolled casually into the imperial garden. He was most likely the first man to enter it in the last thousand years. However, Mo Wen had no interest in that. He had been personally invited by the Multicolor Queen. Even if that wasn’t the case, no one in the palace would dare to stop him from entering. Even if others did not allow him to enter, he could still come and go as he pleased.
In the chamber, Mo Wen and the Multicolor Queen sat face to face and were surrounded by more than a hundred maids. Undeniably, the chamber of the Multicolor Queen was exceptionally luxurious.
“Nie Junxue can manufacture spiritual weapons,” the Multicolor Queen said slowly while she stared at Mo Wen. “She is a rather powerful weapon refining master. Besides that, she is still so young, so her achievements in the future are unpredictable. She has immeasurable value for our Multicolor Clan.”
“Unfortunately, she does not belong to the Multicolor Clan,” Mo Wen said plainly. Naturally, he understood Nie Junxue’s value. For the Multicolor Queen, Nie Junxue was way more valuable than a Tide Changing realm cultivator.
“Moreover, I did not expect that there would be an unparalleled genius like you among the human preliminary cultivators. The preliminary ancient land has a long history. Our Multicolor Clan is very well-aware of the tests in the Path of Creation. You might not be the best there’s ever been, but you will definitely be ranked among the top ten.”
The Multicolor Queen looked intently at Mo Wen. They were a realm apart, but she couldn’t handle this youth. His achievements in the future would be immeasurable. Besides that, he actually had the power of the law of Heavenly Path. He was blessed by the heavens and earth. In the future, he might be able to reach the Virtue and Justice Realm or even become a Heavenly Path Sage.
Mo Wen looked at Nie Junxue. Right now, she was standing behind the Multicolor Queen. Her gaze was fixed on Mo Wen too.
Mo Wen had to admit that Nie Junxue was indeed an unparalleled beauty. Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were as bright as stars. Her temperament was as pure as the snow lotus in the high mountains.
“Multicolor Queen, just tell me what the conditions are,” Mo Wen said.
His only goal here was to save Nie Junxue. He was not interested in other matters.
The corner of the Multicolor Queen’s mouth twitched. She had never seen someone who was this impatient when talking to her. Even the other two Great Kings needed to bear with her attitude when they spoke, let alone commoners who never had the chance to interact with her face-to-face. Who would have thought that every dog would have its day? Today, she needed to put up with Mo Wen’s attitude.
“You care a lot about this beauty here. Is she your lover?” the Multicolor Queen said playfully. The more straightforward Mo Wen was and the quicker he wanted to get this done with, the more she wanted to go against his wish.
Upon hearing her words, Nie Junxue’s face reddened. She glared at the Multicolor Queen, slightly frustrated. She was his lover? It was all nonsense. She did not know this youth before her at all. However, she was under the control of the Multicolor Queen. There was an inhibition in her body, so she could not even speak up. Otherwise, she would surely give the Multicolor Queen who spurted nonsense a good scolding.
Mo Wen hugged his arms and said nothing. He used his actions to indicate that he was not interested in wasting time with the Multicolor Queen.
“Humph, you can take her. But first, you must answer a few questions of mine.” The Multicolor Queen snorted. She knew that if she continued teasing Mo Wen, she would only invite ridicule upon herself.
“Ask away.” Mo Wen’s response was very simple.
“How many creation talismans did you get on the Path of Creation?” The Multicolor Queen stared into Mo Wen’s eyes. “You’d better not trick me,” she said. “The more creation talismans you obtained, the more likely it is that you will be able to rescue your little lover. If you have too few, you will not be qualified to cooperate with me. Don’t even think about rescuing her then.”
The Multicolor Queen knew that these human preliminary cultivators were extremely cunning and never told the truth.
Nie Junxue looked at the Multicolor Queen with an embarrassed expression. She wanted to sew her mouth shut right now.
“I did manage to get a few pieces. What of it?” Mo Wen said. Of course, he had no intention of telling the truth. However, he also did not hide the fact that he had obtained a few creation talismans.
“Only managed to get a few pieces!” Nie Junxue rolled her eyes. She also wanted to sew Mo Wen’s mouth shut. Who was this person? She gave it her all and nearly died in the process, and she had only obtained one creation talisman. He had actually managed to get a few pieces!
Upon hearing this, the Multicolor Queen’s eyes lit up. She smiled and said, “As expected, you have obtained a few. Then, let me guess. The first test tests the cultivator’s willpower. This is the test where it is both the easiest and the hardest to obtain a creation talisman. It is rather difficult for me to determine whether you managed to obtain the first test’s creation talisman.”
The first test required the cultivator to have an unbreakable will. It was easy as they only needed to last until the end to obtain the creation talisman. However, that was also the most difficult part. No matter how powerful one was, if their willpower was insufficient, they couldn’t obtain the creation talisman.
Those who could obtain a creation talisman in the first test were almost all extraordinary people. The strength of their willpower was hard for normal people to imagine. Since ancient times, there had not been many people who could obtain a creation talisman in the first test.
Therefore, the Multicolor Queen was not certain that Mo Wen had obtained a creation talisman in the first test.
“In the second test, you obtained the Light of Creation. You must certainly have obtained a creation talisman as well,” the Multicolor Queen said. She was quite certain about this. Mo Wen had the Eyes of Enlightenment and the Light of Creation. Only those who comprehended the Heavens Change in the second test could possibly obtain these two items at the same time.
Also, since ancient times, there had been a few people who had managed to comprehend the Heavens Change in the second test. However, not all of them could obtain the Light of Creation. The chances of obtaining the Light of Creation was rather low.
“In the third test, you cultivated the Celestial Body, so you definitely also obtained a creation talisman,” the Multicolor Queen continued saying as she stared at Mo Wen.
Mo Wen was shocked. As expected, the Multicolor Queen’s experience and exposure were extraordinary. She could tell that he had cultivated the Celestial Body.
“The fourth test should not have been difficult for you. You have cultivated the Yin Yang Qi, which has rather powerful destructive abilities. With your cultivation, you must have easily attained the highest result.”
“When it comes to the fifth test and the sixth test, I am not so sure. However, in the seventh test, Hundred Battle Test, you certainly could have easily achieved the highest result. Two creation talismans can be obtained in the seventh test. You must have obtained at least one.”
“In the end, you would have obtained at least four creation talismans, maybe even more.”
The Multicolor Queen stared intently at Mo Wen, trying to glean the answer from his eyes. Ordinary people might not think that there was any significance in the number of creation talismans one obtained. One only needed to obtain one creation talisman to enter the Creation Pool. However, as the Multicolor Clan’s queen, she was clearly aware that the number of creation talismans one obtained would ultimately determine one’s fate.
Upon hearing this, Nie Junxue was secretly shocked. Up until the present day, has there ever been such a heaven-defying genius that could obtain four creation talismans? In the history of the Huatian Palace, no one had ever obtained four creation talismans. The highest number that had been obtained was three.
“As expected, your Highness truly has eyes as bright as torches.” Mo Wen did not deny it. With the ability that he had displayed, obtaining four creation talismans was indeed not difficult. Moreover, he had not obtained four creation talismans; he had obtained eight.
When the Multicolor Queen saw that Mo Wen did not deny it, a look of joy immediately flashed in her eyes.
“What are you planning to do?” Mo Wen did not know what the Multicolor Queen was scheming.
“Four creation talismans. You have at least met the minimum requirement. Mo Wen, as long as you are willing to aid me in a certain matter, not only will I return Nie Junxue to you, as long as it is within my power, I can also give you any benefit you desire.”
The Multicolor Queen looked at Mo Wen with a fiery gaze. The desire that had long been forsaken inside her heart once again burned fiercely inside of her.
Nie Junxue was speechless. Return her to Mo Wen? She didn’t belong to Mo Wen!
“What exactly do you want me to do?” Mo Wen was also very curious. What matter could cause the dignified Multicolor Queen to want to achieve it at all cost?
“I want to escape from this cage,” the Multicolor Queen said as she looked at Mo Wen. The fire in her eyes told everyone else how much she desired this.
Upon hearing this, Mo Wen was slightly stunned. Then, he laughed bitterly and said, “Your Highness, you think too highly of me. I can’t do that.”
The preliminary ancient land had existed eons ago. Until the present day, no one had been able to break this law. Even the Huatian Palace had been unable to do so. Rumor had it that during the Middle Age, strong practitioners from various realms coveted the treasures of the Creation Sect and tried to claim the Creation Pool. However, in the end, they failed.
How could a mere cultivator like him have the ability to free the Multicolor Queen from the preliminary ancient land?
“You can. Others cannot do so, but you have the ability.”
The Multicolor Queen drew a deep breath. How often would a person like Mo Wen appear? She would definitely not let this opportunity slip through her fingers.
“Why me?” Mo Wen was curious. The Multicolor Queen didn’t seem to be making this up. Could there truly be such a way?
Nie Junxue also looked at the Multicolor Queen in astonishment. The Multicolor Queen was a native of the preliminary ancient land. She was born with the mark of the preliminary ancient land. It was absolutely impossible for the natives to escape from here. The world law did not allow it. This world had been created by a Heavenly Path Sage from the Ancient Age Creation Sect. It was deeply connected with the Creation Pool. For eons, the world law of this space was extremely stable.
There was only one way for the natives to escape this place: to destroy the law of the Heavenly Path of this world. However, even absolutely strong practitioners of the Virtue and Justice Realm could not do so, let alone Mo Wen. Only the Heavenly Path Sages of legend had such ability.
“Seventy million years ago, a queen of our Multicolor Clan escaped from the preliminary ancient land. The person who aided her was a human preliminary cultivator,” the Multicolor Queen said slowly.
From the very beginning, her gaze had not budged from Mo Wen.
