1010 The Creation Pool

The nine creation talismans became entangled with each other before becoming a single talisman which burrowed itself between Mo Wen's eyebrows.

At the same time, a beam of divine light trickled down. Within the divine light was an exquisite pagoda, pure and white as jade. The pagoda was simple and unsophisticated, much like a work of art. It slowly dropped down onto Mo Wen's palm.

"It's the Junior Master's Pagoda." The Jade Xiu King's eyes glimmered. It was indeed the Junior Master's Pagoda.

Legend had it that the one who could accumulate all nine creation talismans on the Path of Creation would become the Junior Master of the Creation Sect, and they would have the chance to inherit the Sect Leader's position in the future.

No one had ever managed to accumulate all nine creation talismans. No one had even managed to make it past the Ninth Spirit Mountain. As such, this legend had remained a legend.

Something that had never been accomplished throughout all of history had finally been done today, right in front of their eyes.

Obtaining the Junior Master's Pagoda meant Mo Wen would become the Junior Master of the Creation Sect. This was an incredibly lofty position that was second only to the Creation Sect Leader.

"That's the Junior Master's Pagoda of the legends? They say the one who obtains the Junior Master's Pagoda will be able to cultivate the Creation Sect's Nine-day art of Creation. That's a Heavenly Path divine technique," the Ink Scaled King muttered. The Junior Master's Pagoda had been relatively famous even in the ancient time. There were only three such pagodas in the Creation Sect, and all of them were invaluable.

Just the fact that it contained a Heavenly Path divine technique like the Nine-day art of Creation was proof enough that it was an invaluable treasure.

The moment the Junior Master's Pagoda was in Mo Wen's palm, he knew everything about it. Being the junior master of the Creation Sect was equivalent to being the crown prince of the royal family. It was incomparably prestigious. He had never expected to become the junior master of the Creation Sect.

In the ancient time, the junior master of the Creation Sect had two treasures. One o them was the Junior Master's Pagoda that was useful in helping the junior master's cultivation grow, and the other was the Junior Master's Sword which symbolized strength and protection.

Of course, the Junior Master's Sword was hidden in the Junior Master's Pagoda, so it would not be easy for Mo Wen to extract it, and a large part of the reason for that was related to the Nine-day art of Creation. The existence of the Junior Master's Pagoda was mainly to help the successor to the Creation Sect cultivate the Nine-day art of Creation.

Whoosh!

The Junior Master's Pagoda morphed into a ray of white light and burrowed between Mo Wen's eyebrows. Simultaneously, a colossal stratagem manifested in the space. The spirit marks on the stratagem were mysterious and unintelligible as if it contained all of the big paths of the world. Before Mo Wen could take a closer look at them, they all disappeared from where they were standing.

...

A gentle light shone into their eyes. When Mo Wen and the others finally appeared again, they realized they were in the middle of a sea. They could not see the edges of it from where they were, and the waves rolled and rolled.

"This is not an ocean. This is the Creation Pool." The Multicolor Queen's colorful eyes shone with excitement. To think she would have the opportunity of coming to the Creation Pool!

The Creation Pool was an amazing item of creation. It was called a pool but, in reality, it was big enough to hold a whole world.

"Such rich Creation Qi! This is heaven!"

Mo Wen shut his eyes and took a deep breath. The Yin Yang Qi within him started working maniacally, refreshing him completely. The Light of Creation, on the other hand, seemed sentient as it appeared on its own. It glittered as it wrapped itself around Mo Wen, and he seemed to be able to feel its excitement.

The ocean in the Creation Pool was not water but Creation Qi that had condensed into liquid —creation spiritual water. If the creation spiritual water was brought to the outside world, there was no doubt it would be an invaluable treasure. It could change the physical constitution of practitioners to allow them to be recreated and reborn.

Some practitioners believed they were lacking in talent, and they were unable to cultivate enough to reach a higher realm so they were stuck in a bottleneck. However, if they could obtain a large amount of creation spiritual water, they could recreate themselves to raise their potential and make their road of cultivation a smooth-sailing one.

If the uninitiated consumed a drop of the creation spiritual water, their lifespan would be extended and they would live to be older than a hundred. On top of that, they would become immune to diseases and would always be healthy for their whole life.

The creation spiritual water was this valuable, and the Creation Pool seemed like a boundless ocean. It was a daunting prospect for a practitioner who was here for the first time.

People who entered the Creation Pool could absorb a little of the creation spiritual water, but they could not bring it out. This was because no vessel could store the creation spiritual water. Even if it were stored in a spatial treasure, it would dissipate on its own.

As such, only those who entered the Creation Pool had the chance to absorb the creation spiritual water. Throughout history, the practitioners who were able to be baptized by the creation spiritual water were few and far between.

When the Multicolor Queen and the others went to the Creation Pool, they felt the moment the world law that had been oppressing them disappeared. The cultivation that had been accumulating for hundreds of thousands of years stirred immediately, and they could break through to the Tide Changing Realm anytime they wished. They could even break through a few realms in succession.

The world law had suppressed them for far too long, holding them back for hundreds of thousands of years. The accumulation of all these years had now increased their potential. It was difficult to predict how far they could climb in the days to come.

"Haha, the Creation Pool! To think I'd be able to step into the Creation Pool and break through to the Tide Changing Realm in it! My body would definitely change again, and I might even be able to awaken more of the Qilin blood and transform into a Qilin someday."

The Ink Scaled King was excited beyond compare, and he wanted to roar up at the sky. An unprecedented opportunity had appeared right before him. Even the core disciples of the ancient Creation Sect had the opportunity to break through to the next realm in the Creation Pool.

Roar!

They were submerged in their own excitement when a growl suddenly shocked them. That growl shook the ocean and triggered wave after huge wave.

Almost immediately, a massive monster emerged from the Creation Spiritual Sea. It opened its mouth and snapped at Mo Wen who had been the closest to it.

Huh?

Mo Wen was shocked. There were monsters in the Creation Pool? He had no time to think. He moved immediately to tap into the illusionary spirit release technique to dodge the attack, escaping by the skin of his teeth.

He noticed that the beast in the sea was rather powerful, and it was at least at the intermediate stage of the Tide Changing Realm. Mo Wen was not merged with the Multicolor Queen, so it was a bit ambitious of him to try to defeat such a beast.

"Huh? This is the legendary creation spiritual beast. So it actually exists!" The Jade Xiu King stared in fascination at the beast that was looming over them. According to the legends, the Creation Pool was able to spawn creation spiritual beasts, and it was apparently true.

"This is a creation spiritual beast? The legends say that this sort of creation spirtual beasts is a rare treasure. It is the cream of the crop when it comes to spiritual essence."

The Ink Scaled King looked at the gigantic sea beast. His eyes were gleaming. and he wanted nothing more than to kill the beast and then skin it to retrieve the treasures.

The Creation Pool contained an endless creation strength, and life within it was not a difficult thing to achieve. As such, a few spiritual creatures would spawn in the Creation Pool. These creatures had lived in the Creation Pool for a long time, so they absorbed the strength of the Creation Pool as they grew. Because of this, their entire bodies were treasures.

In the ancient time, a creation spiritual beast was almost as valuable as an ordinary sacred treasure. They were so valuable that there was no market for them. The ancient Creation Sect could not hunt these beasts as they wished either since the Creation Pool was such an amazing item of creation with its own spirituality. This had meant that the ancient Creation Sect had been unable to fully possess this ultimate treasure. If they allowed for large-scale hunting and slaughter of creation spiritual beasts, they would necessarily have to endure resistance from the Creation Pool and they might even lose it.

"Creation spiritual beasts! Why didn't I know about this before?" Mo Wen asked in shock. He was sure that there had been nothing about creation spiritual beasts in the information given to him by the Huatian palace. Logically, there must have been quite a few geniuses who had been able to enter the Creation Pool in the preceeding thousands of years, so why was there no information regarding the creation spiritual beasts?

"It's simple - the creation spiritual beast will only spawn in the center area of the Creation Pool, and the chances of them spawning in the peripheral areas are low enough to be almost negligible. Besides, after a creation spiritual creature is born, it will move towards the center area to live, so you almost never see one in the peripheral areas. Although there were quite a few people from the Huatian Palace who had made it to the Creation Pool, the bulk of them had only made it to the peripheral areas. To make it to the center area, they would have to at least have made it past the seventh round of the Nine Spirits Road," the Multicolor Queen explained in a light voice.

Throughout history, there had hardly been anyone who could enter the center area of the Creation Pool, so it was normal that the people from the Huatian Palace had not encountered creation spiritual beasts. After all, there were not many of them in the Creation Pool. The birth of such heaven and earth spiritual beasts were largely a matter of chance. Although the long passage of time meant that there were probably quite a number of creation spiritual beasts in the Creation Pool, the pool was huge, so a person was unlikely to bump into one in the peripheral areas.

They had run into one the moment they entered the Creation Pool because they had gone straight into the core area of the pool. This was the very center, so it was natural there were a lot of these beasts.

Running into a creation spiritual beast excited the Jade Xiu King and the Ink Scaled King, and they immediately teamed up to take on the beast. Although the creation spiritual beast had cultivation at the Tide Changing intermediary stage, it was not used to fighting with people due to the fact that it lived in the center of the Creation Pool. This also meant that it did not know about remarkable power spells, and it was immediately subdued by the two great kings of the ancient land. However, the Jade Xiu King and the Ink Scaled King could not kill the creation spiritual beast. After all, the Creation Pool was its turf, so they could easily escape even if they could not beat their opponents. In an instant, it plunged into the ocean and vanished.

"We should break through first. With our strength, it's difficult to be much of a threat to these creation spiritual beasts," the Ink Scaled King commented dejectedly. The cultivation of the creation spiritual beasts would be high since it was easy for them to grow while they lived in the Creation Pool. Those at the Tide Changing intermediary stage were probably the weaker ones. Legend had it that the more powerful creation spiritual beasts were able to reach the Virtual and Justice Realm, or even the Heavenly Path Realm.

If they ran into such creation spiritual beasts, they would probably be able to take Mo Wen and the others with just one look if they wanted to.
