Chapter 649: Healing Light

Mo Wen had been experiencing misgivings about the difficulty of unsealing cultivation. He now realized that doing so would be even harder than he had imagined. Unsealing just a little of his cultivation had been a real challenge. Exactly how many more illusionary beasts would the Martial Arts Grandmasters need to kill in order to unseal all their cultivation?
The three-day time limit was rather tight. Mo Wen was worried that there would not be enough time for the Martial Arts Grandmasters strong practitioners to completely unseal their cultivation. With the Martial Arts Grandmasters unable to fight at full strength, the ancient martial arts practitioners would most likely be dead meat if they encountered the Fire Domain Seven Major Beast Kings.
Mo Wen glanced around. He could not stay here for long. He identified an easier escape route and, with a spring, launched himself into the air. He flew towards his destination like a streak of lightning.
Flying wasn’t prohibited here. However, at the moment no one else was flying because it would make them an easy target. It was no doubt a suicidal act.
Packs of monstrous wolves were constantly arriving from all directions, attacking as soon as they came across a person. From the moment the Game of Death had started, the ancient martial art practitioners and the illusionary beasts in this space were mortal enemies. Once they encountered each other, they would fight until only one side was standing.
Mo Wen had practiced the Glory of Wind. His understanding of the movement techniques was beyond the teachings of common martial arts. Even if he did not perform the Glory of Wind, his movements were still mysterious and impressive. He moved in between the packs of beasts like a gust of wind. A silhouette dashed before the eyes of those monstrous wolves and Mo Wen had passed by them before they could even react.
Of course, there were also some monstrous wolves who could not be avoided. When he encountered such road hogs, Mo Wen usually would slice at them with a slash of his hand.
Although there were many monstrous wolves, there weren’t many with high cultivation. Most of them were fourth rank and fifth rank monstrous beasts. A sixth rank monstrous beast could be considered a small pack leader. Usually, a sixth rank monstrous beast would have five or six fourth or fifth rank monstrous beasts beside them, forming a small pack.
Seventh rank monstrous beasts would be considered large pack leaders. Among such a large pack of monstrous beasts, seventh rank monstrous beasts were comparably few in number.
The Wolf King had the cultivation akin to a Martial Arts Grandmaster but, for some unknown reason, had not attacked since the beginning of the battle. It merely kept summoning more monstrous wolves, besieging the ancient martial art practitioners.
With a flash of golden light, another two monstrous wolves fell to Mo Wen’s Sacred Fire Sword.
It only took a brief moment for Mo Wen to kill more than ten monstrous wolves. However, the cultivation of these monstrous wolves was not high. Their cumulative cultivation was at most comparable to that of the beginning stage seventh rank Silver Light Monstrous Wolf that Mo Wen killed at the start.
Killing low-rank illusionary beasts like this had little effect on unsealing his cultivation.
There was a rule in this world: the higher the rank the illusionary beast killed, the higher the power obtained by the killer. The chances of obtaining some special treasures would be increased too.
It seemed as though the challenges encountered by the ancient martial art practitioners at the beginning of the game were not as high as they would be later. Even though there were many wolves, there weren’t many monstrous wolves with high cultivation joining the battle. The current threat posed by the monstrous wolves was not serious for ancient martial art practitioners with cultivation at intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm and above.
Mo Wen slashed his way through. After a few kilometers, the monstrous wolves packs were getting fewer. But from time to time, packs of monstrous wolves still appeared in the wilderness. There was probably more than one hundred thousand monstrous wolves in this wasteland. They could not all be wiped out.
Howl! Mo Wen had traveled five kilometers and was about to enter a barren mountain when a long howl suddenly sounded in front of him. The howl was loud and clear, much louder than all the howls that Mo Wen had heard so far.
The next moment, two dark figures flashed past and suddenly two gigantic monstrous wolves appeared near Mo Wen. The shoulder height of the monstrous wolves was three meters and they were more than seven meters long. There was a pale yellow crescent moon tattoo in between their eyebrows. Their eyes were like emeralds, glowing in the dark.
Two intermediate stage seventh rank monstrous beasts!
The aura emanated by the two monstrous wolves showed that they had reached the intermediate stage of the seventh rank. Other than the Wolf King, which could be seen in the distance, these two monstrous wolves were the strongest two that Mo Wen had encountered.
Monstrous beasts were stronger than ancient martial art practitioners of the equivalent rank. So, intermediate stage seventh rank monstrous wolves were much stronger than normal intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners.
As soon as these two monstrous wolves appeared, the other wolves which had surrounded Mo Wen immediately began a slow retreat. They looked at the two monstrous wolves with awe and respect.
Mo Wen was amazed. The illusionary beasts created in this world were actually so lifelike. They were like real beings. Even the fear of the subordinates towards their superiors was meticulously portrayed.
The two monstrous wolves howled. One of them leaped and pounced at Mo Wen. The other wolf gave out a dazzling silver light. The silver light complemented the silver moon in the sky. It was exceptionally beautiful.
A cloud of silver light massed in the mouth of the monstrous wolf. In the next moment, the monstrous wolf suddenly opened its mouth and howled again. A silver crescent light blade shot out of its mouth. The light blade slashed through the air, heading straight for Mo Wen.
The silver crescent light blade emanated terrifying power. It was stronger than an attack from an average practitioner at the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm.
The other monstrous wolf which had pounced at Mo Wen was now right in front of his face. Its two front claws suddenly grew bigger and emitted a glaring silver light. The next moment, the claws, which were now as big as buildings, clamped down on Mo Wen like a cage.
The two monstrous wolves made a great team, with one charging forward and one attacking from behind. Their attacks were almost simultaneous.
Mo Wen extended his arms, with his palms facing inwards as though he had his arms wrapped around something. The next moment, a cloud of star lights appeared in front of him.
The star lights twinkled and formed a nebula.
As soon as the nebula was formed, the attacks from the two monstrous wolves were enveloped by its haziness. Without a sound or trace, the all-out attacks from the two monstrous wolves came to a sudden end. It was as though they were two stones which had been dropped into the ocean. With a plop, they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The two monstrous wolves both wore human-style stupefied expressions. They seemed to be puzzled by what had just happened.
Mo Wen extended his arms and streaks of thunder and lightning flashed past both his fists.
The next moment, two fists silently appeared in front of the two monstrous wolves and hit their bodies with a crash.
There seemed to be streaks of formless lightning flashing on the fur of the two monstrous wolves. Before the two monstrous wolves could cry out, their figures completely disintegrated. They became specks of starlight and were absorbed into Mo Wen’s body.
Mo Wen discovered that an intermediate stage seventh rank monstrous wolf gave him power that was around five times that of a monstrous wolf who was only at the beginning stage of the seventh rank. The power of two seventh rank monstrous wolves unsealed almost half of his cultivation. The effect was almost equivalent to him killing ten beginning stage seventh rank monstrous wolves.
As expected, killing illusionary beasts with higher cultivation led to more power being obtained. Also, the growth was exponential.
However, very little of Mo Wen’s power was being suppressed. Even if it was all unsealed, he would not necessarily be much stronger. If he wanted to reach the next level, using this method to increase his own cultivation, who knew how many more illusionary beasts he would have to kill.
Ding!
A soft ring caught Mo Wen’s attention. After the two illusionary beasts disintegrated, they actually dropped two items. One was a mass of red light and the other a mass of silver light. Both items quietly floated above the place where the two monstrous wolves perished, emanating a gentle glow.
Mo Wen curiously walked over and grabbed the two masses of light in his hands. The next moment, a message appeared in Mo Wen’s mind like an electric current flowing through his body.
Unsealing Light and Healing Light! These two terms appeared in Mo Wen’s mind. At the same time, he also knew what these two masses of light were.
Mo Wen laughed bitterly. Why was it that he felt as though he was playing a large scale simulation game, and that the Fighting Spirit Tower’s Tower Spirit was the system controlling all of it?
The effects of the Healing Light were beyond Mo Wen’s imagination. It could actually be used to heal injuries. If ancient martial art practitioners were injured in this world, they could use this Healing Light to treat themselves. Also, the effects of the Healing Light in this tower were rather astonishing. In theory, if they had enough Healing Light, as long as an ancient martial art practitioner was still breathing and had not completely died, they could use the Healing Light to recover completely.
With enough Healing Light of high enough quality, they could regrow lost limbs and regenerate organs They could even heal a shattered heart. As long as they used the Healing Light in time, they could regrow their heart.
The Healing Light that Mo Wen had obtained was only of the lowest rank. It could not reach the level of re-growing limbs, but it could cure normal internal injuries, instantly healing injuries that were not too serious.
The effects of this Healing Light was a thousand times more useful than the various tablets and medicines Mo Wen already had.
Even Mo Wen was suspicious as to whether this Fighting Spirit Tower’s Tower Spirit had gone to the human world in the main space and emulated those large scale online games to create this world. Wasn’t this so-called Healing Light actually just like a health potion in a computer game?[1
Of course, the health potions in games were all-powerful life points. Not only did this world’s Healing Light have different ranks, but also, if it was not used in time or used at the wrong time, the person would die.
The acquisition of the Healing Light made Mo Wen breathe a sigh of relief. At least like this, the chance of an ancient martial art practitioner dying would be reduced greatly. Otherwise, in such a world, more than half of the ancient martial art practitioners would most likely have been killed even before the Seven Major Fire Domain’s Beast Kings appeared. Once the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings arrived, they most likely would all perish.
Since the Tower Spirit had created this Game of Death, it had also created a rather fair set of conditions.
The effect of the Unsealing Light was also of the utmost importance for ancient martial art practitioners. It did as its name suggested, but it did not unseal the ancient martial art practitioner’s cultivation. Instead, it unsealed the immortal cultivator items of an ancient martial art practitioner.
After using the Unsealing Light, one could unseal an immortal cultivator item. Then, that immortal cultivator item would not be restricted and could be used normally.
The reason why an ancient martial art practitioner could contend with a Fire Domain’s Beast King was largely due to the power of the immortal cultivator magical treasures. Only by borrowing the power of the magical treasures could they just about manage to contend with the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings. Restricting the use of immortal cultivator items essentially held back most of the ancient martial art practitioners’ power. Under such circumstances, how could they be a match for the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings?
Moreover, when the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings appeared again, their combat power would have doubled. Even if all the ancient martial art practitioners became Martial Arts Grandmasters, they would most likely be unable to win against the Fire Domain’s Seven Major Beast Kings without the support of the immortal cultivator items.
