The corpse slowly floated towards Mo Wen. Endless resentment swept towards him. It was as though there was a grudge against the destruction of his country and the loss of his family. The endless resentment invaded Mo Wen's body, causing his body to gradually stiffen. His face grew paler and paler. He felt the life in his body draining away rapidly. If this continued, he would most likely become a corpse in no time.
Ding!
A crisp chirp suddenly sounded from within Mo Wen's body. The sound was like the chirping of a bird. It was crisp and very pleasing to the ear.
Just as Mo Wen was feeling hopeless and felt that he was about to die, the chirp in his body instantly pulled his soul back into his body. At the same time, a warm and gentle power quietly appeared in Mo Wen's body. It continuously circulated throughout his body. His stiff body slowly regained its senses. The life that was draining away was actually being replenished bit by bit.
The resentment, evil Qi, and cold Qi in his body were all swept away. His body was like a furnace that could dissolve everything.
A beam of red light flashed and a beautiful and magnificent tail feather appeared in front of Mo Wen. It floated in the air and kept vibrating gently.
The corpse that floated towards Mo Wen instantly stopped. Its body trembled slightly and it no longer dared to take another step forward.
Mo Wen fiercely exhaled, spitting out the foul Qi in his stomach. He looked at the corpse with lingering fear in his eyes. What exactly was that thing?
Mo Wen knew a lot about the Immortal Cultivation world. He also knew a little about demons and ghosts. Among the underworld cultivators, there were many ghosts and zombies.
However, he had never seen such a strange ancient corpse. This ancient corpse had already exceeded his understanding. It clearly did not emanate any power, but it seemed to be able to control heaven and earth, control the fates of others, and deprive others of their souls.
The fear that the resentment Qi caused had already reached a stage where it was basically unstoppable. With Mo Wen's intelligence, it was very difficult to affect him, no matter how terrifying things were. Even if he encountered death, it would not be too much of a problem for him. He was a person who had experienced life and death, and had even died a few times.
However, the corpse could stuff despair, fear, and other negative emotions into his mind out of thin air. He had not experienced such mental torture in a long time. It was definitely more terrifying than directly killing him.
Mo Wen's face turned pale when he encountered such an evil thing. Moreover, he could not explain it at all. A zombie cultivated by an underworld immortal cultivator definitely did not have such an ability. This ancient corpse seemed to be an amalgamation of all the negative emotions in the world.
The tail feather in the air slowly released a gentle glow. The glow enveloped Mo Wen's body, causing him to no longer be affected by the surrounding atmosphere.
However, what Mo Wen did not expect was that the ancient corpse floating in mid-air would actually face Mo Wen and slowly kneel down.
It was indeed kneeling. Although it was only a dried corpse, the kneeling posture could be clearly determined.
"Star … Emperor … successor …"
Four words slowly floated out of the mummy's mouth. They were intermittent, but they kept echoing in the air.
The corpse did not move at all. It just lay on the ground like a lowly subject, completely lifeless.
The crimson gold tail feather in mid-air flashed and returned to Mo Wen's body, disappearing in a flash.
"Star Emperor's successor?"
Mo Wen stood rooted to the ground. He looked at the corpse in confusion. What did it mean?
The mummy's words seemed to be referring to him, but when did he become the Star Sovereign's successor? They were not related at all, right?
Suddenly, Mo Wen thought of the crimson gold tail feather. It was one of the seven tail feathers of the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan.
After he obtained the crimson gold tail feather from the mysterious space, he kept having miraculous encounters. Later, he went to the Inferno Star Hall and received the inheritance of the Inferno Star Lord. Although he did not receive the true inheritance of the Inferno Star Lord, he could be considered half a disciple of the Inferno Star Lord in the rite of passage martial arts that he learned in the Inferno Star Lord.
Could it be that the Star Sovereign that the mummy was talking about was the Inferno Star Lord?
Thinking back to the strange behavior of the mummy after the appearance of the crimson gold tail feather, Mo Wen's guess was very likely. Wasn't the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan the Inferno Star Lord's Life Treasure? Also, the voice in the Inferno Star Hall seemed to have called himself the Emperor, one of the Five Emperors under the Martial Arts God.
Connecting everything together, the Star Sovereign that the mummy was talking about was most likely the Inferno Star Lord.
After the mummy found out that he was the successor of the Inferno Star Lord, it actually prostrated itself and bowed to him. What relationship did it have with the Inferno Star Lord back then?
Mo Wen's expression kept changing. Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. He was just a successor of the Inferno Star Lord, yet he was able to make the mummy worship him. The status of the Inferno Star Lord back then was most likely far beyond his imagination.
The mummy's attitude towards the Inferno Star Lord was most likely not a coincidence. It definitely had a lot to do with the origins of this space.
No wonder when he had first arrived in this space, he had inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity. That sense of familiarity was inexplicable, but it had always been there. It was clearly the first time he had seen this place. Where did that sense of familiarity come from?
Before this, he had been very puzzled. Now, he understood a little. The sense of familiarity was definitely not because of him, but because of the Inferno Star Lord's, or rather, the Inferno Star Lord's inheritance. The three tail feathers of the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan gave him the feeling.
Also, this space most likely belonged to the same space as the one with the Inferno Star Hall. Or rather, it belonged to one of the fragments of that space. In the Primeval Age, that space had split for some unknown reason, resulting in the current situation. If all the fragments of the space were pieced together, they would definitely be in the same space.
After having this thought, many of the doubts in Mo Wen's mind were answered. This ancient city most likely belonged to the Inferno Star Lord back then. That was why the residents of the ancient city respected him so much and worshipped him as an emperor.
Patter!
Just as Mo Wen was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a soft sound beside his ear.
Mo Wen looked down and saw that a cloth bag had rolled out from the ancient corpse's pocket. It had also strangely rolled all the way to Mo Wen's feet. Mo Wen looked at the cloth bag at his feet. The scene in front of him kept changing.
Under normal circumstances, how could a cloth bag roll more than ten meters by itself to his feet? It must have been the strange ancient corpse.
What did it mean by deliberately giving him the cloth bag?
This ancient corpse was very strange. Mo Wen did not dare to casually take its things. Only heaven knew what would happen.
However, this ancient corpse was certainly not a simple figure in the Primeval Age. Its things might be some treasures. For a moment, Mo Wen hesitated again.
After thinking it over, Mo Wen decided to pick up the cloth bag and take a look. From the attitude of this ancient corpse towards the Inferno Star Lord, it would not deliberately hurt him.
The material of the cloth bag was an unknown type of silk. It was very smooth and cool to the touch. A cool feeling surged into his body. Mo Wen's entire body was energized and his mind was much clearer.
Mo Wen thought that it was a storage space bag, but then he realized that it was not. It was just an ordinary cloth bag. However, the material of this cloth bag was most likely not simple. He untied the string on the cloth bag and took out a few items from inside.
A round object rolled out of the cloth bag and immediately attracted Mo Wen's attention.
Spiritual stones!
One, two, three, four, five … there were actually seven spiritual stones.
Mo Wen naturally would not be so surprised if they were ordinary spiritual stones. However, the spiritual stones in front of him were all medium grade spiritual stones. They could definitely not be compared to low-grade spiritual stones. Even in the Immortal Cultivation world, medium grade spiritual stones were very important resources. Their value was far higher than that of low-grade spiritual stones.
Although the ratio of low-grade spiritual stones to medium grade spiritual stones was set at 1: 100, very few people in the Immortal Cultivation world were willing to use this ratio to exchange. Even if they wanted to exchange, the ratio would definitely be much higher than 1: 100. The reason was that the value of medium grade spiritual stones was more than a hundred times that of low-grade spiritual stones.
For example, some stratagems in the Immortal Cultivation world could not be powered by low-grade spiritual stones at all for the slightly higher level stratagems. Only medium grade spiritual stones could do that. Some rare Immortal Cultivation materials were often of similar value. Low-grade spiritual stones could not be bought, but they could be bought with medium grade spiritual stones.
For example, the puppet used medium grade spiritual stones as its power output. It was definitely much more powerful than low-grade spiritual stones.
Right now, Mo Wen's Black Gold Puppet could only have the power of the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm using low-grade spiritual stones. However, if it was replaced with medium grade spiritual stones, it would most likely have the power of a human Martial Arts Grandmaster.
Obtaining seven medium grade spiritual stones in one go was a huge surprise for Mo Wen. Originally, he had thought that he would not encounter medium grade spiritual stones at all. In the Immortal Cultivation world, medium grade spiritual stones were more important. No matter how rich the Huatian Palace was, they could not let medium grade spiritual stones fall into the hands of the ancient martial arts world. It was because there was simply no need.
"If I install medium grade spiritual stones in the Black Gold Puppet along with a few magical treasures, I most likely would have the power to fight even a Martial Arts Grandmaster."
Mo Wen, who had always been calm, rarely showed excitement in his eyes. However, this time, he could not stop himself. Right now, he needed power too much. Regardless of whether it was a human Martial Arts Grandmaster or the Fire Domain's Seven Major Beast Kings, they were all fatal threats to him.
In such an environment, if he did not have enough power, even survival would be a huge problem, let alone fighting for the spiritual fire with those strong practitioners.
Now that he had medium grade spiritual stones, it was equivalent to having a Martial Arts Grandmaster by his side to protect him. Moreover, it was a Martial Arts Grandmaster who could use spiritual power and was telepathically connected to him.
Mo Wen waved his hand impatiently. A black light flashed and the Black Gold Puppet flew out of the medicine spiritual ring. When it was not activated, it was only the size of a palm. However, Mo Wen knew that the immortal cultivators had set up prohibitions on it that could shrink the size of the puppet, making it easier to carry around. The true size of the Black Gold Puppet was at least three meters tall.
Mo Wen slapped his palm on the Black Gold Puppet. He held a spiritual stone in his other hand and infused it with spiritual power. The Black Gold Puppet immediately released a beam of black light. In the blink of an eye, it grew bigger. In the end, it was the same size as Mo Wen. Even their physiques were similar.
Mo Wen inserted all seven medium grade spiritual stones into the body of the Black Gold Puppet to ensure that it had enough energy. This would prevent accidents when it ran out of energy. Although there were only seven medium grade spiritual stones, it was enough for the Black Gold Puppet to use for a long time. (To be continued.)
