Chapter 1035: Older Sister’s Metamorphosis

Generally speaking, there was a limit to the number of Spiritual Transforming Pearls a person could absorb. The limit was affected by a number of factors, such as their cultivation, their talent, and their potential.

But there was no doubt that being able to absorb more pearls meant that one was more outstanding. It also meant they would go on to achieve more in the future.

It was difficult for an ordinary cultivator at the Primordial Soul Realm to absorb two or three Spiritual Transforming Pearls. That meant their body’s tolerance was high and their talent was far greater than the average cultivator at the Primordial Soul Realm. As for the average martial arts practitioner, they were unlikely to be able to absorb even one Spiritual Transforming Pearl. After all, the Creation Qi contained in the Spiritual Transforming Pearls was simply too immense and refined, so the body of an average person would not be able to tolerate it.

Of course, there were a lot of instances where the issue was not so much how many pearls the person could absorb. The issue was whether the person could absorb the pearls at all. Items like Spiritual Transforming Pearls were extremely rare treasures and being able to obtain even one was extremely fortunate. So, the question of limits was not even a debate people could have.

And it was Mo Wen who was able to let others wonder how just how many Spiritual Transforming Pearls they could absorb.

Gu Jingman was one such lucky person. One after the other, the Spiritual Transforming Pearls disappeared from her hands and a large wave of Creation Qi concentrated in her body and ceaselessly changed it. Mo Wen had never once belittled her; her talent and potential would shock even Mo Qingge. Mo Qingge had once said that Gu Jingman had the makings to become a cultivator at the Virtue and Justice realm, at the very least. Back at the Goddess’ World, she had been the only one to make it to the seventh level space, and she had stayed there for quite a long time.

And this made Mo Wen curious—just how many Spiritual Transforming Pearls could Gu Jingman absorb? He took out several thousand Spiritual Transforming Pearls at once—not to flaunt them but to see if Gu Jingman could actually absorb that many.

100, 200, 300… 500…

Mo Wen was shocked by the sheer number of Spiritual Transforming Pearls Gu Jingman was absorbing. 500 Spiritual Transforming Pearls! The Creation Qi they contained was unlikely to be less than the amount that people absorbed at the Creation Pool after years. She was not stopping; she was still absorbing…

Mo Wen stared at Gu Jingman unblinkingly. She absorbed 800 Spiritual Transforming Pearls before she seemed to slow down.

800 Spiritual Transforming Pearls! Mo Wen was not too clear how much Creation Qi he had absorbed in his time in the Creation Pool. He had been in a strange state and was not aware of his surroundings. But one thing was for sure, and that was that not even the Jade Xiu King and the rest had absorbed as much Creation Qi as Gu Jingman. The Three Great Kings of the ancient land had cultivations at the great attainment of the Tide Changing Realm, but their tolerance level was not as high as Gu Jingman’s!

Mo Yuqing was part of the Divine Dragon Clan. Mo Wen was not sure how much Creation Qi she had absorbed in the Creation Pool, but it was unlikely that she had absorbed more than Gu Jingman did. After all, everyone had their limits, so it was impossible for them to absorb Creation Qi without ceasing.

At this moment, Gu Jingman’s entire body was aglow. The aura coming off of her was exceptionally ethereal. As a hazy white creation spiritual light enveloped her entire body, it was like she was bathing in divine light. Aside from the hazy white light, there were beams of ruby-like blood light glowing from her body. Initially, the blood light had seemed rather evil and it may even inspire fear within others. But as time passed, the beams of blood light seemed to constantly be refining. They became increasingly refined and glowed brighter and brighter.

Finally, they were purged of evil aura. The blood light no longer looked bloody and devilish. On the contrary, it seemed a lot like rubies: splendid, noble, august, and revered.

“What a beautiful blood light,” Mo Wen remarked quietly in awe.

He wanted to touch it—the blood light was just too beautiful. It was as if it was no longer the strength of the Blood Clan. It had been transformed completely.

Mo Wen knew that Gu Jingman was currently going through a complete rebirth, but he did not specifically know how far she would go. However, judging by the current situation, it seemed like she was transcending all worldly thoughts and becoming a saint.

After ten days, a beam of beautiful blood light shot out from Intentionless City. In that instant, the blood light enveloped the entire city and spread out in all directions at an alarming speed. A bloody curtain covered the entire sky and the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension looked like it was drenched in blood light.

But the blood light did not seem evil. On the contrary, it seemed rather holy. It was a dignified, holy blood light… What a weird pair of words to use together.

“What’s that?”

“My God, a blood light has covered the sky. That’s a bad omen, but why does it seem so holy and noble…”

“What a beautiful blood light. Good God, to think such a beautiful color exists in this world. It’d be great if I could make clothes in such a color.” There were stars in the eyes of a young lady.

“The sky is covered by blood light. What on earth is happening? Why do I feel like I should be bowing in worship?”

…

In the Intentionless City, the Green Region, the whole of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, everyone simultaneously stopped what they were doing and looked at the magnificent beams of blood light.

The people in Intentionless City felt the light the most strongly because the core of it was above the city. Within the blood light stood a beautiful figure.

“Is that… the fairy of legends?”

“Goddess, an absolute goddess!”

“It’s so holy and pure. It’s unbelievable. How can a blood light be so holy?”

…

Almost everyone in Intentionless City was captivated by the beautiful figure. As if they were possessed, they were unable to take their eyes off of the figure, whether they were men or women.

“Gu Jingman!”

Wang Yinru looked at the sky in shock. The rest might not recognize her, but she had spent far too much time with Gu Jingman and was far too familiar with her. So, it was only natural that she could tell the figure was Gu Jingman with just one look. But the change had been so drastic, she probably would not have been able to tell that the figure was Gu Jingman if she did not know her very well.

“Lady Gu is absolutely stunning.”

Pei Fengwu, who had been standing beside Wang Yinru, looked at the sky in a daze. It was difficult to tell what she was thinking.

“We’re all women, but why are we this different?” Wang Yinru laughed bitterly. She looked at Pei Fengwu, feeling a sense of solidarity wash over them. No woman would be able to ignore a beauty like Gu Jingman, and it was impossible for Wang Yinru to not be jealous.

“Her transformation is too radical. Something must have happened when she was in the secret chamber with Mo Wen,” Pei Fengwu remarked mildly, glancing at Wang Yinru.

“Gu Jingman and Mo Wen go way back, and there’s no way we can compete with that.” Wang Yinru knew instinctively what Pei Fengwu was insinuating.

“Gu Jingman and Mo Wen are from the same world, Fengwu, so it’s best for us to know our limits.”

Wang Yinru stared meaningfully at Pei Fengwu. As her senior, she had a different perspective on things compared to the younger ladies, and she did not want to see too much strife around Mo Wen. All of them were women, so it was not difficult for her to guess what Pei Fengwu was guessing. So, Wang Yinru wanted to knock some sense into her. Men definitely did not like that the women around them were fighting each other all the time.

Especially since they had no right to do so.

Pei Fengwu kept silent for a while before she spoke, “Sister Yinru, we women are the same. You act really confident, but I know, deep down, you can’t stand it either. Honestly, I can tell that you’re not confident enough, you feel a little inferior, but I don’t think anybody is worse than any other person. You’re no exception to that. If we women don’t fight for ourselves, who’s going to fight for us?”

“We won’t be from the same world as him in the future, so don’t be silly, sister.” Wang Yinru heaved a light sigh.

“Who’s to tell what’ll happen in the future? Anyway, I don’t like losing,” Pei Fengwu remarked mildly.

Wang Yinru was shocked. She looked at the figure in the sky, then fell silent suddenly.

The blood light in the sky was becoming more resplendent and the aura from the figure was becoming stronger, bearing down terrifyingly, and still growing steadily.

In an unnoticed corner in Intentionless City, stood three figures and, perhaps it was an issue of angle, or maybe it was something else altogether, but no one had noticed them.

The three of them were none other than the Jade Xiu King, the Ink Scaled King, and the Divine Dragon Maiden Mo Yuqing.

Although Mo Wen did not want them to reveal their powers, he did not prohibit them from leaving the Junior Master’s pagoda to walk around. The Junior Master’s pagoda was a holy ground for cultivation, but staying inside it all the time could drive someone crazy.

“That woman isn’t simple.” With his arms crossed, the Jade Xiu King looked up, somewhat emotionally, at Gu Jingman in the sky. It seemed as if not a single person surrounding Mo Wen was simple.

“Indeed, there’s an ancient aura coming off of her. And I don’t know why but I’m faintly fearful of her.”

The Ink Scaled King nodded. The aura coming off of Gu Jingman was something he had noticed before. It had existed before this. When he first met her, he could notice there was something in her that could threaten his life, but he could not tell what it was specifically.

“She probably has the blood of an ancient living spirit flowing through her,” the Ink Scaled King guessed. It was the same for their blood, no?

The Jade Xiu King shook his head as he said, “No. The aura coming off of her is not as mixed as ours is, so my guess is that she’s obtained the heritage of an ancient mighty cultivator. Besides, her current situation is a little unique. It’s as if she’s changed that heritage, and this is only achievable with the use of Spiritual Transforming Pearls. She’s probably absorbed a large number of Spiritual Transforming Pearls so that she can undergo a complete rebirth.

“Besides, the Creation Qi her body is giving off is very rich. She’s probably absorbed far more Creation Qi than we did. The lady’s future is limitless!”

The Jade Xiu King was emotional. The talent that the Three Great Kings possessed had already been extremely amazing, but it turned out that there was someone stronger than they were. It seemed like those who had ties with Mo Wen were not at all simple, like the Divine Dragon Maiden, a refined primeval Divine Dragon. Besides, now that even the Multicolor Queen had started metamorphosizing, they would probably be left behind in the dust once she was done.

“She’s indeed absorbed a lot of Creation Qi. Look at her cultivation, it’s spiking without stop—not that it could. It’s likely that she’ll break through to the Tide Changing later stage, maybe even the great attainment of the Tide Changing Realm.”

The Ink Scaled King nodded in agreement. Only the Power of Creation could completely change a person. Mo Wen was the only one who had such power because he was the only one who had Spiritual Transforming Pearls. In the entire source world, it was unlikely that anyone else had such a thing.

The Divine Dragon Maiden had her hands clasped behind her back. She stood there silently without interrupting or speaking, looking rather aloof and proud. As the Primeval Divine Dragon, she had been born with this elegant indifference, always above the rest, as if she had little to no regard for anyone else. The Jade Xiu King and the Ink Scaled King had long accustomed themselves to this attitude of Mo Yuqing. She was a pureblood Primeval Divine Dragon whose bloodline was far higher than theirs, so what else could they do?
