"If I had mastered the Fury of Thunder, I'd be able to solve this predicament easily. However, I haven't mastered it yet. What should I do?" Mo Wen felt helpless.

"I don't know how long I can stay in this palace hall and whether I will be forced out if I stay too long. If I can stay here for more than three days, I should be able to cultivate the Fury of Thunder in time."

Mo Wen was only a step away from the Fury of Thunder and only needed to apply the finishing touches. After all, he had achieved a very deep understanding of the three Glory techniques in the Goddess's World. It was just that he had not broken through to a complete esoteric rule. Therefore, his progress had ground to a halt, and he had not proceeded.

"Never mind. I'll cultivate first. I don't have any other options anyway."

No matter how much he thought about it, it wouldn't achieve anything. Rather than waste time, he might as well make the most of it and break through to the Fury of Thunder. He might actually be able to pull it off!

In the blink of an eye, two days flashed past. The palace hall was still quiet. Aside from Mo Wen who was cultivating with his eyes closed, there seemed to be no changes.

The situation that Mo Wen was most worried about, which was that the palace hall would forcefully kick him out if he stayed for too long, had not happened.

Suddenly, streaks of lightning appeared within the palace hall for no obvious reason. There were only a few of them at first but as time passed, they grew in number. Finally, they seemed to fill the entire palace hall and became a blazing ball of lightning.

Mo Wen, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, suddenly stood up. With a flash of lightning, he appeared before the light shroud and sent out a punch.

Rumble!

It seemed as though all the lightning in the world was activated. The lightning that filled the palace hall shrunk frenziedly. In the end, it became the size of a hand and coalesced on Mo Wen's fist.

Rumble!

A terrifying collision rumbled. Mo Wen's punch had thunderous momentum behind it, and the light shroud was shattered immediately. It became specks of light that disappeared in the air.

After cultivating the Fury of Thunder, the Glory of Thunder also finally reached the pinnacle of the first realm. Right now, the might of one attack from Mo Wen's Fury of Thunder could easily compare with an all-out attack from a strong practitioner at the pinnacle of the Primordial Soul.

Lightning flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. After leaping around for a long time, it gradually dissipated.

He successfully passed the eighth level palace hall and entered the ninth level palace hall. At the end of the hall, there was another light shroud, the final one in the challenge.

By shattering it, Mo Wen could achieve the highest possible result in the fourth test.

Mo Wen stared at the ninth light shroud. He did not do anything else for a long time. Without a doubt, this light shroud would be the hardest one to break.

"I hope you will not be much more difficult than the eighth level one."

Mo Wen took a deep breath. Then, using the same method as before, he attacked the ninth light shroud with all his strength. However, after fifteen minutes, the light shroud only wobbled a few times and did not respond at all.

"As expected!"

Mo Wen sighed. The ninth light shroud was much stronger than the eighth light shroud. It was far stronger than he had hoped. If it was just a little stronger than the eighth light shroud, he might have been able to break it with one attack from the Fury of Thunder. However, it was much stronger, so he could not do anything about it.

"What do I do now? Could it be that I will still return empty-handed in the end?"

Mo Wen sat on the floor. Since things had come to this, he was not rushing anymore. It had been two days and the palace hall hadn't kicked him out. It probably wouldn't force him to leave anytime soon.

With his current ability, he still couldn't break the ninth light shroud. What should he do?

Mo Wen felt a sense of disbelief. Even applying force at the ordinary pinnacle of the Primordial Soul Realm could not break the ninth light shroud. Exactly what kind of force was needed to break it?

How many people who entered the Path of Creation were as tough as Mo Wen? Yet, even Mo Wen could not break it. Who would be able to?

Since the Creation Sect had created such an assessment, there must be people who could pass the test. Otherwise, the test was meaningless. Mo Wen shouldn't underestimate the talents that existed in this world.

Mo Wen speculated that only strong practitioners at the pinnacle of the Primordial Soul Realm like Ku Ji could easily break the ninth light shroud.

However, Ku Ji's cultivation was infinitesimally approaching the Tide Changing Realm. Mo Wen's ability was restricted in this palace hall. However, even if he was not restricted, he wouldn't dare to say that he was comparable to Ku Ji.

Perhaps, if Mo Wen could use the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear and the Celestial Body, he would be able to break the ninth light shroud. But with his current condition, Mo Wen could only stare helplessly at the shroud.

"What should I do? It does not seem possible with just my Yin Yang Qi."

"Huh… Yin Yang Qi!"

Mo Wen was squatting on the floor, his face long as he considered his situation. lamenting. But as he changed his way of thinking, he seized the crux of the problem in an instant.

Yin Yang Qi!

Yes! The Yin Yang Qi that he cultivated was a powerful energy in the heavens and the earth. It was neither Inner Qi nor spiritual power. It was a special kind of energy that was more powerful than spiritual power.

However, since Mo Wen had cultivated the Yin Yang Qi, he had been using it like normal energy. It seemed as though Yin Yang Qi was no different from the spiritual power.

Everyone knew that the Yin Yang Qi was far more powerful than the ordinary spiritual power.

But the problem was Mo Wen did not know how to unleash the potential of the Yin Yang Qi. It had been less than a year since he had cultivated it. He hadn't had the time to study this special energy at all.

If Mo Wen had a powerful master guiding him, he wouldn't need to figure things out slowly by himself. He would be able to master the Yin Yang Qi in no time.

"A powerful master?"

The corner of Mo Wen's mouth curled to reveal a smile. Then, he slowly took out a palm-sized jade buddha statue from his medicine spiritual ring.

This was the Buddha statue carved from the Soul Nurturing Jade. When Mo Wen received this item, he already knew that it was left by an important person. The person was the 34th cult leader of the Ming Cult, Zhang Poxiao. He was also the legendary figure who invented the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift. Not only was Zhang Poxiao famous worldwide in the outside world, but he was also renowned in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.

A few hundred years ago, this person had caused a huge amount of bloodshed in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Countless Tide Changing Realm cultivators had died at his hands. He could even battle with Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators and not be defeated. Even in a place like the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, he was an existence at the pinnacle of the pyramid.

Unfortunately, he had made too many enemies for himself. He didn't have many supporters either. In the end, he was outnumbered, and he died tragically.

Precisely because of Zhang Poxiao's death, the Ming Cult, which ruled the world a few hundred years ago, was destroyed, and everyone was scattered.

Mo Wen had always wondered if the destruction of the Ming Cult was related to the heretic forces. However, he found out later that it was actually caused by the factions in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.

Back then, Zhang Poxiao was severely injured and died in a remote place. However, his inheritance was passed back to the Ming Cult. Unfortunately, not long after that, the Ming Cult was completely destroyed too. If Chang Qingfeng, the last cult leader of the Ming Cult, hadn't been so devious and had failed to prepare a way out for himself, it was likely that the Sacred Fire Sword which contained a big secret would have been snatched away by the factions in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.

Mo Wen had heard some information about what had happened in the past from Mo Qingge. The Sacred Fire Sword was a treasure that had leaked out from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. It had somehow ended up in the hands of the Ming Cult. Then, the 34th cult leader of the Ming Cult managed to find the Sacred Flame Insignia and returned the Sacred Fire Sword to its original state.

Because of the Sacred Fire Sword, the Ming Cult was coveted by some factions in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, and the rest was history.

It could be said that an innocent man had brought trouble upon himself by carrying a treasure that was not his. Zhang Poxiao suffered a bad ending because of the treasure he owned.

Mo Wen was rather cautious regarding this matter. The vendetta among the factions a few hundred years ago might just be a facade. The most important thing was still Zhang Poxiao carrying the Sacred Fire Sword. This treasure caused even Zhang Poxiao to die tragically. Even a few Supreme Profundity Realm mighty cultivators were involved in this case. Even with Mo Wen's current ability, he paled into insignificance when compared to Zhang Poxiao. If Mo Wen was captured by those enemies, he would most likely suffer a horrible death too.

Therefore, as soon as Mo Qingge found out that Mo Wen had come to the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, she had anxiously sought him out and immediately sent him into the Path of Creation. She was also worried that harm would befall Mo Wen in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Mo Qingge might have been enough to protect Mo Wen in the outside world, but in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, the situation was too complicated. Even she did not dare say that she could hold everyone at bay.

Putting his thoughts to one side, Mo Wen focused his attention on the Jade Buddha Statue in his hand.

When he had previously studied this Jade Buddha Statue, he had only managed to scratch the surface. Not only could he not understand the most crucial parts, but he did not even manage to see them.

Only those with Yin Yang Qi could unravel the seal inside completely. Fortunately, Mo Qingge had returned the Jade Buddha Statue to him back then. Otherwise, he would truly have no other option right now.

The power of the Yin Yang Qi gradually poured into the Jade Buddha Statue. The next moment, the Jade Buddha Statue released a beam of faint light. This had never happened before.

Something seemed to shatter at the same time. Mo Wen's deified soul was no longer hindered and entered the depths of the Jade Buddha Statue.

Information immediately appeared in Mo Wen's mind.

"Yin Yang Qi: Cultivation Process and Realms Manuscript."

"Yin Yang Qi: Yin Yang Conversion Manuscript."

"Yin Yang Qi: Yin Yang Destruction Manuscript."

"Yin Yang Qi: Yang Directed Dual Qi Manuscript."

…

Very quickly, large amounts of information regarding the Yin Yang Qi appeared in Mo Wen's mind. It contained Zhang Poxiao's lifetime understanding and usage of Yin Yang Qi. In the past, Zhang Poxiao had used his pinnacle of the Tide Changing Realm cultivation to battle Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators to a stalemate. This was largely due to Yin Yang Qi.

Zhang Poxiao's understanding and usage of Yin Yang Qi had already reached a rather high level. For Mo Wen, it was a door to unleash his own power.

"So Yin Yang Qi can actually be used in such a manner! There were so many more secrets contained within it. No wonder! No wonder it was said that Yin Yang Qi was far superior to spiritual power."

A look of excitement flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. He realized that he had been very foolish up to now. He was holding on to a treasure trove, and he did not know how to use it. If the trial of the Path of Creation had not made him helpless, he probably wouldn't have discovered the secret.

"Zhang Poxiao was so prestigious back then. It's impossible that he only mastered a small path remarkable power. The Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift is considered a remarkable power that is easier to cultivate. There are still a few small path remarkable powers recorded inside. Not only are they mightier than the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift, but their profound changes are also deep and unfathomable."

Mo Wen was secretly astonished. A few small path remarkable powers that were most suitable for Yin Yang Qi to cultivate were right before him. He did not need to find other remarkable powers to cultivate at all. All of the most suitable remarkable powers were in there. Also, regardless of rank or might, they were rather extraordinary.
