999 Welcome into the Palace

Imprison him forever? Mo Wen was not foolish. He had already considered this. The Multicolor Queen could not kill him; similarly, she could not imprison him.

Mo Wen's figure suddenly began to grow. Originally, he had been a hundred meters tall, but right now, he was still expanding upwards.

Once one mastered the Celestial Body, the person could enlarge or shrink as they pleased. They could transform to be as gigantic as a mountain, or become as tiny as a speck of dust.

Of course, being able to shrink did not mean that Mo Wen could shrink and escape through the Glazed Xuan Ming Web. A remarkable power like the Glazed Xuan Ming Web was made up of the esoteric rules of the law of heavens and earth. The gaps between the web might be large, but the web would not miss any of its prey. Mo Wen couldn't escape simply by shrinking.

However, Mo Wen could enlarge himself infinitely.

"Do you think you can make my Glazed Xuan Ming Web burst by enlarging? Dream on!" the Multicolor Queen snickered. This human youth was rather humorous. He was planning on using such a method to break through her Glazed Xuan Ming Web.

The Multicolor Queen hugged her arms and looked at Mo Wen with great interest. She was very confident about the Glazed Xuan Ming Web.

Mo Wen was merely enlarging and of course, it was impossible for him to make the Glazed Xuan Ming Web burst. Moreover, as Mo Wen pressed against the Glazed Xuan Ming Web, it sliced into his body. The more he struggled, the more severe his injuries were.

"You are making it difficult for yourself!" the Multicolor Queen sneered. This human youth was heading towards a painful death.

However, when Mo Wen's struggle was approaching his limit, the mysterious and vast light appeared on his body once again.

The Celestial Source! When it sensed that its host was facing life-threatening danger, it automatically surfaced to protect him.

"This is bad!" The facial expression of the Multicolor Queen changed drastically. She suddenly realized Mo Wen's true intention.

Bam!

The colorful Glazed Xuan Ming Web exploded under the vast light. The Multicolor Queen was hit as blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth. Her body was injured as well.

Mo Wen casually emerged from the vast light. His body had already recovered. It was as though nothing had ever happened to him.

"Damn it!"

The Multicolor Queen glared at Mo Wen with begrudging respect. This human had escaped from her prison with such a method. If he wanted to, he could create a bomb in his body at any time and blast the place.

"Multicolor Queen, you can neither kill me nor imprison me. You should understand, if you insist on being my enemy, the Multicolor Clan will face trouble," Mo Wen said with an indifferent expression as he walked out from the light.

The facial expression of the Multicolor Queen was ugly beyond comparison. When Mo Wen repeated his earlier threatening words now, her reaction was totally different.

Right now, the situation was clear. If the Multicolor Queen refused to yield and did not let Nie Junxue go, then Mo Wen would take revenge on the Multicolor Clan. He couldn't do anything about the Multicolor Queen, but the rest of the Multicolor Clan were no match for him. He could slowly wear the Multicolor Clan out until he killed all of the clan's upper echelons.

In the city, Xiao Jinghe, Chu Yu, and Wen Jiuhai were still hiding in the corner feeling very excited. Mo Wen did it! He actually did it!

Nie Junxue pressed her lips tightly together as the sparkles of hope shimmered in her eyes once again. Initially, she had thought she would be trapped in the preliminary ancient land for the rest of her life. She might even have become a slave. In the end, only two days had passed and she now felt quite hopeful that she would be released.

In Nie Junxue's heart, this youth was the most incredible person. He was practically a hero and her savior.

"Multicolor Queen, Nie Junxue is a human, and it is not suitable for her to stay in the preliminary ancient land. Please show mercy and let her go," Mo Wen said slowly. The authority of the Multicolor Queen as a ruler would most likely be affected if she let Nie Junxie go in front of everyone. However, right now, the matter involved the life of a person. Mo Wen could not be bothered with saving the queen's face.

"What's your name?" the Multicolor Queen asked instead.

"Mo Wen."

Mo Wen thought for a moment and said, "Mo Wen, as in M-O, W-E-N. [1] " There was some ambiguity to his name, so it was very easy for people to misunderstand.

"Mo Wen, the Multicolor Clan goes back hundreds of millions of years. Not just anyone can challenge it. You are a strong practitioner and also a peerless genius. I have a soft spot for talent. If you leave immediately, the Multicolor Clan will pretend that nothing happened today."

The Multicolor Queen's expression was serious. As one of the preliminary ancient land's three largest clans, the authority of the Multicolor Clan could not be challenged. Her authority also could not be challenged. If she released Nie Junxue after being defeated by a human in front of everyone, how could she remain in control in the preliminary ancient land in the future?

"Are you threatening me?" Mo Wen asked. He had not expected this woman to be so stubborn.

"Multicolor City has a history going back hundreds of millions of years. Throughout its long history, it has endured various disasters. Do you know why the Multicolor Clan has remained prosperous?"

The Multicolor Queen put her hands behind her back as the light in her eyes suddenly turned sharp.

"It is because our Multicolor Clan is protected by the Clan Guarding Stratagem. If I activate the Clan Guarding Stratagem, you will surely die."

Two figures quietly appeared behind the Multicolor Queen. They were none other than Elder Qian and Elder Gong who Mo Wen had previously sent flying. Their cultivation was peerless in the preliminary ancient land. Even though they had been attacked by Mo Wen, they were not injured.

The Clan Guarding Stratagem was the last line of defense for the Multicolor Clan. Its importance ranked above the Multicolor Queen. They would not activate the Clan Guarding Stratagem unless the Multicolor Clan encountered a life-threatening crisis. In order to tackle this human youth, the Multicolor Queen actually intended to activate the Clan Guarding Stratagem!

"The price for activating your Clan Guarding Stratagem once is sure to be high," Mo Wen said.

He was still as cool as a cucumber. If the Clan Guarding Stratagem could be activated easily, the Multicolor Queen probably wouldn't be wasting time chatting with him and would activate it right away.

"The price is indeed high. But it can also kill you. Are you sure you want to go down with the Multicolor Clan?" The Multicolor Queen snorted. "Don't expect that the power which contains the law of the Heavenly Path will save you. I assure you, the Clan Guarding Stratagem's attack definitely far surpasses what your body can resist. Once I activate it, it will kill you off in an instant."

The Multicolor Queen was clearly aware of the weakness concerning Mo Wen's law of the Heavenly Path. As the ruler of a race with hundreds of millions of years of inheritance, her exposure and experience were far greater than that of ordinary cultivators.

"Your Highness, you shouldn't be overconfident. Do you believe that by using the power of a stratagem now that you can still kill me with one blow?"

Mo Wen smiled. A faint white light suddenly appeared on his body. The light seemed exceptionally alive. It merged with the surroundings, seemingly becoming one with the heavens and the earth. It seemed to be able to instantly turn the world into nothingness and also instantly create a new world.

"The Light of Creation!"

The Multicolor Queen screamed as she looked at Mo Wen. She could not remain calm any longer. The Light of Creation! This human youth actually controlled the power of the Light of Creation!

"The Light of Creation is not the Heavenly Path of Creation, but it also consists of a very powerful law of creation. If you use a stratagem to attack me, 90 percent of its power will be negated by the Light of Creation. Do you still think you can kill me?"

Mo Wen laughed coldly. The power of a stratagem came from the heavens and earth. Stratagems were formed by the immortal cultivators when they disturbed the order of the heavens and earth with external forces. However, the law of creation could create the heavens and earth. The Light of Creation would automatically blend in with the heavens and earth. It was impossible for the power of the laws of heaven and earth gathered by the stratagem to harm someone protected by the Light of Creation.

"The Light of Creation! How is it possible?"

The Multicolor Queen was in disbelief. It was already bizarre for this human youth to have the Tai Chi Purple Light. He had actually mastered the Light of Creation as well! The Light of Creation could disturb the laws of heaven and earth. It was least afraid of the power of a stratagem. Moreover, the preliminary ancient land was built by the Creation Sect and the Light of Creation was very important for the sect. In the past, those who had the Light of Creation would have held high positions in the Creation Sect.

The Light of Creation could unleash unimaginable power in the preliminary ancient land created by the Creation Sect. Since the Clan Guarding Stratagem made use of the Power of Heaven and Earth in this preliminary ancient land, it would most likely be useless against Mo Wen.

...

"That is… the Light of Creation!"

Nie Junxue's eyes were glued to the white light on Mo Wen. Nie Junxue was most attracted to this aura, which blended in with the heavens and earth, and yet was capable of creating the heavens and earth. The Light of Creation was a power that she had dreamed of having. This time, her biggest goal for coming into the Path of Creation was to obtain the Light of Creation.

As a weapon refining master and a person who was deeply passionate about weapon manufacturing techniques, the Light of Creation was very important for her. Whether she could become a great weapon refining master in the future depended on whether or not she could get the Light of Creation this time around.

"The Light of Creation! Good heavens! This Mo Wen is practically a beast!"

Chu Yu could not help but curse out loud, throwing his image out of the window. Comparisons were odious. Chu Yu felt like he was pretty much a tiny speck of dust in front of Mo Wen.

"My goodness!" Xiao Jinghe was stupefied. Mo Wen mastering the Tai Chi Purple Light had already garnered the envy of countless people. But he had actually mastered the Light of Creation as well. Furthermore, he did it even before he entered the Creation Pool. Could this freak be any stronger?

"Old Xiao, I have decided. My target from now on will still be you. As for Mo Wen… Ehem, we are not from the same world as him," Wen Jiuhai said with all seriousness. His intention to fight Mo Wen had long disappeared.

...

"Mo Wen, I can release Nie Junxue. I have treated her well over the past few days. Besides, I can even give you a great benefit. But you must agree to a condition of mine."

The Multicolor Queen suddenly changed her mind. She looked at Mo Wen with an intense gaze. Nobody knew what she was thinking.

"Oh, what condition?" Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. She offered such a good deal; her condition would certainly not be simple. However, if he continued to be in a stalemate with the Multicolor Queen, it would also be troublesome for him. If he could meet the condition, he would want to settle the issue.

"Let us talk like brother and sister. I do not wish others to hear the condition. This is not a good place to talk. Why don't we slowly go over the details in my chambers?"

The Multicolor Queen winked at Mo Wen charmingly. Her tone went back to being lazy and coaxing. Mo Wen was dumbfounded. Since when did he have an intimate sibling relationship with the Multicolor Queen? She associated herself with him way too quickly.

[1]: The Chinese characters for the name Mo Wen literally means "don't ask". So, confusion might arise when someone asked for his name and he replied with "Mo Wen", which sounded like he was refusing to tell others his name.
