"I wonder how much time has passed, it doesn't seem to have been a short time."
He looked around the cave before his eyes fell on the hot crystal he was sitting on.
"Ohh! The remaining liquid had condensed to a solid state." He picked up the condensed crystal and saw that it was quite heavy.
"I used up about 75% of it in constructing my body. It's no wonder my body is so strong. This is the corpse of 2 universe dao divine beasts and 2 top supreme universe treasures."
The amount he used was just enough to construct his body, any more would have been useless, as his body had already grown past it.
"This guy used about 5% of it, leaving only 20% of the full liquid." Mo Shen said as he looked at the egg.
"I can use 5% of it to help Mo Fan strengthen his body, 5% for my dad and another 5% for my mom. The remaining 5% can be kept for any thing."
Mo Shen then walked over to the egg, holding the huge crystal in his hand. He didn't have a storage ring, so he could only carry it like that.
"It's time for this guy to wake up." Mo Shen said as he touched the egg.
Claws formed in place of his nails, and he tore open his palm, allowing 5 drops of blood to flow onto the egg. It was immediately absorbed into it.
His blood was still golden, but it was now incomparable to how it was before his transformation. It was now a hundred times more powerful.
"The vitality in my blood is quite much. As long as someone's soul hasn't dissipated, a drop of my blood can revive them."
Speaking of which, as soon as the 5 drops of blood came out, the wound disappeared in a blink like it was never there.
He saw a blood red light which disrupted his thoughts. It was the little guy in the egg.
The egg cracked into 2, and a small bird flew out of it. It was indeed very tiny compared to the size of the egg. It was only a bit bigger than Mo Shen's head, and the egg was about 10 times bigger than Mo Shen himself.
It couldn't really be counted as a bird. It just had the shape of a Phoenix. It was golden red in colour. It had fiery wings like a phoenix, and golden scales like a dragon. It also had golden horns like that of a dragon, although it's head was similar to that of a phoenix. It's claws were shaped like that of a dragon too.
Immediately the creature flew out, it landed on Mo Shen's shoulder and rubbed itself against him.
"This little guy..." Mo Shen said with a laugh as he carried the bird on his hands and examined it closely.
"Looking at your special features, it will be difficult to tell what creature you are. From now on, you'll be Mo Feng. You'll take my surname Mo." Mo Shen said with a laugh.
The bird nodded his head and cried out happily. Then it turned around and flew back to the egg, feasting on it.
"This egg seemed to be some good stuff, seeing as it withstood against time for a million years and still remained strong."
"Hey, save some for me." Mo Shen picked up a large part of the broken egg that could cover his body. He wanted to use it to make a few sets of clothes for himself.
He looked down at his body as if sizing himself up. "What? When did I grow up like this. And my hair..."
He was actually just noticing how much his physical appearance had changed. His current appearance was that of a young man in his early 20s, not the little boy he was just a while ago.
His hair which was formerly golden like that of the people from the ancient god empire was now completely white with golden streaks in between. It shone like the sun. It was so long that it reached the back of his knees.
How could he explain to others that he was just a 7 years old boy who looked mature for his age.
Mo Shen looked at the shiny egg shell to see his reflection. His face was devilishly handsome without any flaw. His eyes were of two colours. The right eye was blue, and the left one was red. He could feel a mysterious power in them.
He sat down, closed his eyes and regulated the energy in his body together with the aura of the dao to penetrate his eyes, like he was washing them with the dao.
He did it for about 2 hours before stopping when he felt he had achieved his goal. He opened his eyes, and a ferocious light shot out of them. The light pierced a hole in the space in front of him, travelling through the void to an unknown distance.
"Interesting." Mo Shen said with a smile. "My eyes now contain the dao, and releases annihilating power."
His right blue eyes could unveil all illusions and see through the truths of the world. If powered with his dao, it could even see through the heart which was one of the most fickle and complicated things in the universe.
His left red eyes was the one that contained annihilating power. If powered with his soul, it could immediately annihilate the soul or spirit of any creature below the universe dao realm. When powered with his dao, it could annihilate the body.
"So this abilities were gained from my will. It was subconsciously created due to the different auras of the dao in me."
"Over a year should have passed, and Mo Fan would be quite anxious by now."
He brought out his soul flames to cast out a few pieces of clothes.
"Wow, can this still be called soul flames?" Mo Shen said as he looked at the colorless flame on his palm. His soul flame has become so strong and condensed to the point of being colorless.
Without wasting time, he started out to make a long golden robe for himself. He designed it quite exquisitely. Although he didn't know how to refine artifacts, he had some idea from the memories of the 4 entities he devoured. And he was only making clothes for himself, not an artifact.
He made 10 different set of robes, all golden in color. They had different designs. He had even plucked some of the golden strands of his hair to add to the design of the clothes. His hair was left unattended to. It flowed to the back like a river with a direction.
"Alright, let's go out." Mo Shen said as he noticed Mo Feng had finished devouring the egg shell. He had also grown bigger, at least 3 times its previous size.
Mo Shen soared to the sky with Mo Feng on his shoulder. One one hand, he carried the crystallized liquid. On the other hand, he held 9 sets of clothes.
He saw Mo Fan sitting cross-legged on the air above the mountain. His eyes were closed and he didn't notice Mo Shen.
"Oh!" Mo Shen exclaimed in surprise. "He seemed to have reached the state of being one with nature. Although he is still a hundred years away from entering the dao, this result in a short one year is really impressive."
Hearing this, Mo Fan opened his eyes and looked up at Mo Shen in confusion. "You are... Young lord?" Mo Fan asked, a bit unsure.
"What do you think?" Mo Shen asked with a mischievous smile.
"Young lord, you are finally out. I've been waiting for you for so long." Mo Fan whined. He looked like he was on the verge of tears.
"What are you making a noise for? Is it not just a little more than year that I spent there?"
"What are you talking about young lord? You've been there for over 10 years."
"What?" Hearing this, Mo Shen almost stumbled on air as he shouted. "You don't mean it."
"I'm serious young lord. Counting the time, we have less than a year before we have to go back to the main world."
"Because I was focused on the memories of the 4 entities in me during my great sleep, i didn't even realise the passage of time." Mo Shen said. "But, it's better like this. At least I look my age."
"Give me a spatial ring."
Mo Fan brought out an empty storage ring and handed it to Mo Shen.
Mo Shen put the robes and the crystal into the ring.
"Young lord, you're now a cultivator?" Mo Fan asked in shock. It seemed like he was just noticing that Mo Shen was standing on air.
Mo Shen smiled and gave Mo Fan a brief summary of what went down in the mountain.
Mo Fan was his close confidante and subordinate, so he needed to know about his abilities in case of any unforeseen circumstance in the future.
After hearing this, Mo Fan's mouth was struck open. His young lord never ceased to amaze him.
"Young lord, your luck is really heaven-defying. I can't believe you had such an experience in just 10 years." Mo Fan exclaimed. "Even a top genius wouldn't have this much luck their entire life."
"Luck?" Mo Shen smiled lightly. "I don't attribute any of my success to luck."
"My success today followed a series of events which has no relation to luck."
"Firstly, I was willing to let go of the demon bones and the ancient god heart. This shows I'm a cautious one with no greed, I could let go off some things no matter how good they are, as long as I see them as a threat. Due to that, the idea of melting them was able to form in my head leading which was the start of this result."
"The normal reaction of anybody that gets any of these universe treasures will be to try to use it to increase their cultivation or their combat strength. Which of them will ever think of destroying them because of a possible harm they might bring in the future. They can't be blamed for that, after all I had 10 years of time ahead to think and comprehend some things."
"Secondly, I was able to dominate the sentient spirits of the demon bones and the ancient god heart while I was still small. This shows my extreme willpower and mental strength. After dominating them, there was no longer any much resistance in the main process."
"Thirdly, I was able to ignite my soul flames in the midst of battle. This shows my absolute potential and struggle for survival amidst disasters. This gave me the only flames that could work on my body, igniting the nirvana flames in the surrounding."
"Finally and most importantly, I was able to enter the dao before coming here. This shows my unparalleled comprehending power. It was the most crucial condition. Because I had entered the dao, I was able to locate the hidden cave and enter it. Also because I had entered the dao, I was able to comprehend the phoenix's Infinite Nirvana Flames dao and the dragon's Absolute Domination dao, making it easy for me to devour their corpse and memories."
"I'm not really sure which hand luck has in it." Mo Shen explained with a confident look.
"It's really worthy of my young lord." Mo Fan said proudly like as if he was the one that had the experience.
"There's no time to waste, let's go." Mo Shen said.
Mo Fan was about to bring out the teleportation scroll when Mo Shen stopped him.
"That's too slow."
Mo Shen waved his hands on air doing some hand seals. The process was quite fast.
In a few seconds, the space tore open and a grey portal was revealed.
"Let's go." Mo Shen said as he dashed inside the portal with Mo Feng. Mo Fan followed in closely.
The next moment they arrived at the True Martial world.
