Chapter 1013 - The Divine Body

“How strange! Why has his body crystallized?” the Ink Scaled King said in a daze. Right now, Mo Wen’s body was like a crystal. Not only was he appearing transparent, but his body was also becoming more and more crystal-like.

“It is not crystallization. It is a Divine Body. He is evolving towards the legendary Divine Body,” the Jade Xiu King said with a serious expression. A Divine Body! That was something legendary. It had been a legend during the Ancient Age.

Legend had it that those born equipped with a Divine Body were reincarnated immortals. Of course, this legend was somewhat baseless. However, it could be seen from this that people who naturally possessed a Divine Body were extraordinary.

Aside from natural Divine Spirits, legend had it that there was another type of acquired Divine Body. Of course, it was rather difficult for ordinary living creatures to acquire a Divine Body. Even some Virtue and Justice Realm cultivators could not do so. The three Great Kings were even further away from doing so.

A Divine Body! That was a body that only completely strong Heavenly Path Sages could confidently cultivate. It had always been a term equated with the divine. Even among Virtue and Justice Realm Mighty Immortal Cultivators, ones who could coalesce a Divine Body were few and far between. They were exceedingly rare. Those that could coalesce a Divine Body were at the pinnacle of the Virtue and Justice Realm.

Right now, Mo Wen was showing signs of evolving towards a Divine Body.

“A Divine Body!” The Ink Scaled King drew in a cold breath of air. He naturally knew about the Divine Body, but he had never thought that Mo Wen would cultivate it because it was such a mysterious technique that was out of his league.

The Multicolor Queen’s eyes were also shining as she stared intently at Mo Wen’s body. She didn’t blink at all.

Mo Wen’s body became more transparent and crystal-like. In the end, he looked just like a person carved from crystal, a statue.

His organs, blood vessels, intestines, nerves, meridians…

All of them became transparent crystals!

Mo Wen’s body also had a faint divine light.

The Ink Scaled King’s eyes suddenly became wide open, as though he had noticed something. He pointed at Mo Wen’s chest and said, “Look, it’s the Heart of Multicolor.”

There was a mass of rainbow color light in Mo Wen’s chest. Right now, there was Creation Qi constantly surging towards the multicolor part of his chest. The heart was not transparent but was multicolor, emanating beams of divine light.

Also, this heart became more and more like crystal and had more divine charm as the Creation Qi surged in.

“The Heart of Multicolor is also evolving.” A light flashed in the Jade Xiu King’s eyes. The Heart of Multicolor was undergoing a metamorphosis under the influence of the Creation Qi flow. It seemed to show signs of evolving.

“Multicolor?”

The Jade Xiu King looked towards the Multicolor Queen. He stared at her with a fiery gaze. He knew clearly what the evolution of the Heart of Multicolor meant.

“This year, I realized that the Heart of Multicolor was somewhat different, but I was not quite certain about it,” the Multicolor Queen said plainly.

She looked at the Heart of Multicolor in Mo Wen’s chest. The fire in her eyes burned brighter and brighter. More than any of them, she understood what the evolution of the Heart of Multicolor meant.

Ever since Mo Wen began cultivating, she had not gone back into Mo Wen’s body. She did not want to disturb Mo Wen, who was cultivating, so she had been cultivating in the Creation Pool. However, this year, she had noticed that the Heart of Multicolor was eccentric and seemed to be constantly undergoing some changes.

“Among the three of us, Multicolor is most likely to attain the highest achievements in the future.” The Jade Xiu King looked intently at the Multicolor Queen.

The evolution and purification of their bloodlines were things that they had dreamt of their entire lives. Right now, the Heart of Multicolor was going through such processes.

The purification of their bloodlines was easier. They could use other methods or fateful encounters to purify and improve their own bloodlines. However, it was almost impossible for their bloodlines to evolve unless they had a heaven-defying encounter and were recreated by the heavens and the earth.

“It’s as I expected of the Creation Pool. In the future, Multicolor might be able to regain the glory of the Primeval Age Multicolor Xuan Ming Spider,” the Ink Scaled King said in admiration and excitement.

He was happy for the Multicolor Queen from the bottom of his heart. It might be possible for Multicolor to achieve something that they could never achieve. The Primeval Age Multicolor Xuan Ming Spider was a terrifying entity that could kill immortals. Moreover, Multicolor was a rare Sacred Maiden of the Multicolor Xuan Ming Spider clan. After she had completely evolved, even ordinary Divine Dragons could not be compared to her in terms of bloodline.

The Divine Dragon young maiden, who was sitting cross-legged some distance away, glanced curiously to one side. She looked at Mo Wen with a rather complicated gaze, but her pure eyes showed no ill will. It might be said that there was an intimate look in them. Even though the facial expression of the young maiden was cold and she stared at Mo Wen with an indifferent gaze, there was an innate intimacy between her and Mo Wen. It was something that she couldn’t hide.

“Multicolor, come back.”

Suddenly, a formless aura rippled. That was, in fact, Mo Wen speaking. However, he was not talking with his mouth; instead, he was communicating with his deified soul.

As soon as the Multicolor Queen heard this, she transformed into a beam of colorful light and flew into Mo Wen’s chest. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared.

In reality, the Multicolor Queen had been transformed into the Heart of Multicolor. Her body that the others had seen before this was merely an incarnation. When the Multicolor Sacred Maiden offered up her Heart of Multicolor, she had been merged into one with her host. Right now, the Multicolor Sacred Maiden had an additional extraordinary ability, which was called the Rainbow Glazed Body.

The Rainbow Glazed Body was the incarnation as demonstrated by the Multicolor Queen just now. This incarnation was rather miraculous. Not only could it cultivate, but it was also no different from ordinary flesh. Moreover, technically speaking, the Rainbow Glazed Body was immortal. As long as the host of the Heart of Multicolor was not destroyed, the Multicolor Sacred Maiden could live forever.

Even if the Rainbow Glazed Body was destroyed, it could coalesce another Rainbow Glazed Body using the Heart of Multicolor. As such, one could infer how intensely powerful the Rainbow Glazed Body was.

Of course, if Mo Wen died, the Multicolor Queen would die as well. From the moment she offered up her Heart of Multicolor, her life was no longer under her control. This was also why many Multicolor Sacred Maidens chose to never offer their Hearts unless they encountered their fated ones.

Time flew and in the blink of an eye, another month passed.

“There is no doubt that the Heart of Multicolor is evolving.”

Throughout the month, the Ink Scaled King and the Jade Xiu King had been closely monitoring Mo Wen. They discovered that the Heart of Multicolor was continuously transforming. Now, it seemed like it was almost time for the Heart of Multicolor to evolve, but its transformation had, in fact, not stopped. Clearly, the purpose of Mo Wen ordering the Multicolor Queen to return to the Heart of Multicolor a month ago was related to the evolution.

“Mo Wen is so strong! His achievements in the future will be unfathomable.” The Jade Xiu King smiled wryly as he looked at Mo Wen who had been transforming daily for a long time now. The Jade Xiu King was actually at a loss for words. A Divine Body! He could tell that Mo Wen was trying to coalesce a Divine Body.

Of course, Mo Wen was still trying. It was difficult to tell whether or not he could successfully coalesce a Divine Body. Even with the help of the Creation Pool, his success rate was rather low.

What was the Divine Body? It was a body that even Virtue and Justice Realm Mighty Immortal Cultivators dreamt of. It was a terrifying physique that only Heavenly Path Sages could be equipped with.

Even if Mo Wen was advancing in this direction and had advanced very far, whether or not he could succeed most likely depended on fate and his own good luck. Many Virtue and Justice Realm cultivators also coalesced the Divine Body diligently, but they could not reach the final step in the end.

“Jade Xiu, do you think that Mo Wen can successfully coalesce a Divine Body?” the Ink Scaled King could not help but ask. A Divine Body! He felt as though he was witnessing a miracle occurring.

“The chances are very slim. You should know that coalescing a Divine Body is not accomplished by merely constantly evolving the physique. The process is very miraculous and is even related to the law of the Heavenly Path. I do not know much about deep and profound things, but I am very clear about this point. A Divine Body! Not only must one’s body be strong, but a rather deep understanding of fate and spirituality is also involved,” the Jade Xiu King said plainly.

Actually, he felt that it was not quite possible for Mo Wen to coalesce a Divine Body in the end. The chances were too slim.

“I can understand what you mean by spirituality. That is the combination of a person’s comprehension, wisdom, and potential. A person’s spirituality is almost predetermined from birth. It is rather difficult to change it later on in life. I know this. Although Mo Wen is extraordinary, he seems to still be far from having the spirituality required to coalesce a Divine Body. But what about fate? Could it be that coalescing a Divine Body does not rely on actual skill but on luck?”

The Ink Scaled King felt that this was strange. If one could rely on luck to coalesce a Divine Body, amongst the countless living creatures in the world, there should have been some people with the good luck to be born with a Divine Body. However, the reality was that since the Ancient Age, there had not been a single person born with a natural Divine Body for tens of millions of years. Even if there was one, they would most likely come from a very special background. They could even possibly be an immortal reincarnated.

During the Ancient Age, before the Immortal End Day, it was still possible for immortals to be reincarnated into this world. However, after the Immortal End Day, it was almost impossible.

“The luck you refer to and the fate I refer to are different. You know that those frightening Virtue and Justice Realm cultivators have power over the heavens and earth. Some incredible beings can almost be compared to immortals. However, why is it that they can’t seem to coalesce a Divine Body? It is because they lack a strand of fate. Furthermore, why is it that the Heavenly Path Sages who transcend the mortal world seem to almost always manage to coalesce the Divine Body? It is because once one reaches the level of the Heavenly Path, one can subtly affect fate itself and bypass the hardest obstacle,” the Jade Xiu King said.

“You mean to say that whether or not one can coalesce a Divine Body depends mostly on the difficult question of fate?” the Ink Scaled King asked.

“That’s right. Fate is the most illusory and elusive thing. Only Heavenly Path Sages can manage to affect it a little. As for the other conditions, in reality, one would usually be equipped with all of them at the level of the Virtue and Justice Realm.”

The Jade Xiu King stroked his beard. The Virtue and Justice Realm was frightening. That was a level with power over the heavens and earth. In ancient times, the Virtue and Justice Realm was the highest realm. Above it was the immortals. Some heaven-defying beings of the Virtue and Justice Realm could rival immortals.

As for Heavenly Path Sages, they were a rather unique group. Each and every one of them was unmatched.

There were some Heavenly Path Sages who in reality had surpassed ordinary immortals. They could ascend any time they wanted. However, in order to study the foundations of the Heavenly Path, they intentionally did not ascend. It could be said that once a Heavenly Path Sage ascended, their achievements would certainly be far superior to ordinary immortals.

So, right now, Mo Wen had all the conditions to coalesce a Divine Body. Why didn’t the Virtue and Justice Realm beings have these conditions? For everyone, fate was the most elusive thing. It was such for mortals as well as the Virtue and Justice Realm beings. It was even the case for Heavenly Path Sages.
