Chapter 877: Heart of the Red Stone Forest
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
This woman who had made the enraged Lord rciless forcibly quell his anger was none other than the mysterious woman who was always shrouded in mist.
It seed as though after encountering her, even the arrogant Lord rciless had to keep his temper in check.
“You saw everything that happened just now?” Lord rciless’s face was extrely ugly. The battle that had just happened was practically the disgrace of his life up so far. He had not expected that there had been soone watching the entire thing and that the person who had been prying was her.
The woman was none other than Water Deity, who was ranked third on the scoreboard. In terms of ability, she was above Lord rciless.
Water Deity was most proficient in concealnt techniques. Lord rciless knew that if she wanted to hide, he would be absolutely unable to detect her at all from a hundred ters away.
“I saw what I needed to see. It is just that I never expected that the dignified Lord rciless would actually be disgraced at the hands of a youth. You should indeed rein in that temper of yours. Otherwise, this will not be the only ti you embarrass yourself.”
Water Deity’s voice was still gentle, but it was difficult to disguise the mocking tone in her voice.
“Did you show yourself just to mock ?” Lord rciless’s expression turned even uglier as he forcibly held back his raging anger. Water Deity’s ability was superior to his. Her cultivation was also above that of his own. Rumor had it that she had broken through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster third realm a few years ago. She was rather famous. Among the youthful hidden martial arts strain strong practitioners, Water Deity most likely would be ranked among the top ten.
Lord rciless was not a fool; knowing that he was not a match for Water Deity, he suppressed his anger.
“I’m not mocking you. I am rely reminding you. I have so connections with the lad you were fighting just now. You better give up any thoughts you have about him,” Water Deity said plainly.
Water Deity’s upfront threat caused Lord rciless to almost burst in anger. Since when had he, Lord rciless, ever put up with treatnt such as this? Before this, Mo Wen had embarrassed him; now, Water Deity had popped out of nowhere and threatened him.
“You are not satisfied? We can fight it out if you want.” There was no change in Water Deity’s voice. It remained very gentle. However, the sharp edge to it was evident.
Fight if you are dissatisfied. Water Deity was as gentle as a mass of water from head to toe, but she was definitely not soone who was easy to deal with.
“Water Deity, I do not wish to discuss him anymore. You will not change my resolve. What I am curious about is how a man like him has a connection with your Goddess Cult. Your Goddess Cult does not take in n, does it?”
Although Lord rciless was arrogant, he was not foolish. In his battle with Mo Wen just now, he had expended quite a bit of power. If he were to also battle with Water Deity right now, he would be allowing her to toy with him. He could not bear the idea of disgracing himself; he would rather suppress his anger.
“Is that any concern of yours? I have said what I needed to say. You had better know your place. If we have a falling out, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
Water Deity clearly had no interest in answering Lord rciless’ question. She left behind these last words. Her entire person beca a mass of mist and gradually disappeared without a trace.
“Water Deity, just you wait. One of these days, I will pay back all the disgrace that I have suffered today!”
Lord rciless clenched his fist tightly. He bit down on his teeth so hard that a grinding sound could be heard. She had gone too far.
In reality, the Goddess Cult was also a hidden martial arts strain sect, and its status was rather high. They had a rather ancient heritage. Even the Blood Evil Temple paled in comparison to the Goddess Cult.
It was said that the Ming Cult had a thousand-year heritage. However, the Goddess Cult had a history of a few thousand years. It was just that the Goddess Cult had defined themselves as part of the hidden martial arts strain a long ti ago. They had not appeared in the world for centuries, so the martial arts circle only had legends of the Goddess Cult.
...
“The lad is astonishing. He has actually mastered four rite of passage martial arts at such a young age. His talents are terrifying.”
On top of a mountain peak, a cloud of mist filled the area. A graceful silhouette could be seen among the mist. The howling wind on the mountain could not disperse the mist. The wind rely caused the mist to contort and drift slightly, creating a natural charm.
“Just now I secretly placed a water imprint on him. Initially, I could follow his trail, but to my surprise, I lost him. He is but a youth. Even if he has astonishing talents, by rights, the cultivation of his soul should not be too high. How did he discover my water imprint?”
Water Deity was rather surprised. The water imprint that she had secretly placed on Mo Wen had actually been dispelled.
In reality, when Mo Wen was battling with Lord rciless just now, Water Deity had covertly perford her secret technique and left a water imprint on Mo Wen. She could locate Mo Wen using the water imprint. To her surprise, she had tracked him for less than a hundred kiloters, and she had completely lost track of him.
“Sect Younger Sister Lin Qing’s information is rather outdated. If this lad does not encounter those few famous monstrous figures, he won’t need my help at all. But that’s reasonable. Sect Younger Sister Lin Qing is still young, and she has just broken through to the sixth level of the Goddess Technique. Her judgnt is limited, so it is normal for her to not be able to tell the youth’s actual level. Sect Younger Sister Lin Qing said that this youth is less than twenty years old. He is considered a toddler in the hidden martial arts strain. How can he be so monstrously powerful?”
Water Deity could not get her head around it. How could Mo Wen reach his current level at his age? He had even mastered four rite of passage martial arts. She had received training from her old ancestor and currently, she had only mastered three rite of passage martial arts.
“Whatever. Since this youth doesn’t want to locate him, then I will let him be. With his ability, it will most likely be fine for him to venture into the Heart of the Red Stone Forest. Perhaps we will et each other there. It’s just that I don’t know how far he can go. This ti around, it will be rather challenging to get into the top ten of the Heaven List.”
Water Deity transford into a beam of light and disappeared once again.
...
Soti later, a silhouette walked out from behind a rock wall. It was none other than Mo Wen.
“Why is that woman following ?”
Mo Wen stood where Water Deity had been standing. A look of deep thought flashed in his eyes. It was not the first ti that the woman had appeared. When he encountered Bao Xun, he had noticed her presence.
In reality, after Mo Wen cultivated a deified soul, she could not hide from his deified soul’s sensory ability although this woman had incredible concealnt ability.
He could sense that this woman was incredible, hence he pretended to not know anything to avoid alerting her.
“This woman’s cultivation is very high. It is most likely much higher than that of Lord rciless. I hope she does not bear any ill will. Otherwise, it would truly be troubleso.”
Mo Wen shook his head. The world was vast. As expected, it was not as simple as it seed. This Heaven List Tournant had many experts. Most likely half of the pinnacle geniuses had appeared here.
“Five days have already passed. The Heart of the Red Stone Forest should already be open. The outskirts are already of no value. In order to not fall behind the others, I should head to the Heart of the Red Stone Forest right now.”
The Heart of the Red Stone Forest was the center of Red Stone Forest. Rumor had it that it was a very unique place. It was enveloped by a stratagem from the Huatian Palace. Normally, no one could enter. Only after five days had passed during the Heaven List Tournant could people enter that place.
There was a condition for participants to enter the Heart of the Red Stone Forest. They needed to have more than five hundred points in order to enter.
Also, only those who entered the Heart of the Red Stone Forest were qualified to contest in the final round. If one could not even enter the Heart of the Red Stone Forest, they were considered completely disqualified.
Five hundred points was not a small number. It would be very difficult for participants who did not have the ability to accumulate so many points. Many people would not even pass this first stage.
Rumor had it that the previous Heaven List Tournant only required two hundred points to enter the Heart of the Red Stone Forest. This ti around, the difficulty was raised.
Also, in the previous Heaven List Tournant, criminals of the Martial Arts Grandmaster second realm and third realm would not appear at all. All of them would be restricted by the Huatian Palace. Only first realm Martial Arts Grandmasters would appear. But this ti around, there was a high chance of second and third realm Martial Arts Grandmaster criminals appearing. For the participants, this would be a huge challenge.
Of course, these second and third realm Martial Arts Grandmaster criminals would not appear outside. They could only move about in the Heart of the Red Stone Forest. The strongest people in the outskirts were only first realm Martial Arts Grandmaster criminals.
The Huatian Palace ruled that only by entering the Heart of the Red Stone Forest and reaching a place known as chanized Maze City could one contest for a spot among the top ten.
If one could not enter the Heart of the Red Stone Forest and reach chanized Maze City, it would be useless no matter how many points they had accumulated.
The Huatian Palace also did this to prevent people who used special thods to accumulate points or those who were extrely lucky and picked up points from winning from entering. By providing a challenge, they could guarantee the fairness of the tournant.
Only by having powerful ability could one receive a high rank in the Heaven List Tournant.
The Heart of the Red Stone Forest was located a thousand kiloters within the Red Stone Forest. The deeper one walked, the more desolate it beca. The surroundings were covered entirely with dark red boulders. There were traces of wind erosion on their surfaces.
When Mo Wen reached the place, a gigantic blue light shroud appeared in front of him. The light shroud connected the sky and the earth as though a screen descended from the sky, blocking Mo Wen’s path entirely.
“Is this the Heart of the Red Stone Forest?”
Mo Wen’s mouth curled to reveal a smile. Those strongest criminal groups and the most powerful criminal strong practitioners were all in the Heart of the Red Stone Forest. It was the biggest challenge for the participants too.
Mo Wen walked towards the blue sky screen and took out his jade pendant. He placed it on the sky screen. The jade pendant lit up and ford a type of connection with the blue sky screen. The next mont, ripples similar to water ripples appeared on the blue sky screen. They sucked Mo Wen’s body toward them and drew him into the sky screen bit by bit.
In the blink of an eye, Mo Wen had disappeared from his original spot completely.
The blue sky screen would automatically identify the points in the jade pendant. When the participants had more than 500 points in their jade pendants, the blue sky screen would grant them access.
...
“Lord rciless, the Heart of the Red Stone Forest is most likely fraught with danger. I am not particularly skillful...”
Shao Ji said this as he stared at the gigantic sky screen, worried. He was standing in front of the blue sky screen with Lord rciless.
Shao Ji had been following Lord rciless for the past few days. He had seen with his own eyes how different this round of the Heaven List Tournant was. There were many participants who were stronger than him. So were even terrifyingly powerful. Right now, Shao Ji had lost his earlier arrogance and confidence. He had realized that a common first realm Martial Arts Grandmaster was practically a nobody in this round of the Heaven List Tournant.
If Shao Ji had been alone, he would have no confidence that he could make it through the Heart of the Red Stone Forest. It was because the Heart of the Red Stone Forest was a dangerous place. Moreover, there were Martial Arts Grandmaster second realm and third realm criminals treating the participants as prey. The criminals were ready to hunt them down.
In the past, the strongest practitioners in the Heart of the Red Stone Forest were rely first realm Martial Arts Grandmasters. However, it was different this ti around.
