Invincible Kungfu Healer Chapter 576 - Seven Glorious Infernos

Chapter 576: Seven Glorious Infernos

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Seven Glorious Infernos was the essence of the lifetime martial arts teachings of the Inferno Star Lord. It would be impossible for Mo Wen to learn it all in a short amount of time. In fact, he would be unable to master even one quickly. After all, it was a rite of passage martial arts. Only ancient martial art practitioners that had become immortal could practice it. Right now, he was far from qualified.
If he still insisted that he could practice it, he would most probably only be able to just about practice the basic chapters of Glory of Thunder, Glory of Wind and Glory of Cloud. He would only be able to practice the other four Glories by becoming an immortal cultivator and mastering the powers of heaven and earth.
The three tail feathers seemed to “understand” him very well, teaching him precisely the Glory of Thunder, Glory of Wind and Glory of Cloud.
If he wanted to obtain the ability to practice another Glory, it would only be possible by finding a fourth tail feather.
“You’re kidding me! The only way to leave the great hall is by learning all of the Glory of Thunder, Glory of Wind and Glory of Cloud!” Mo Wen walked around the great hall in a circle and discovered that there were no exits. He also discovered that the entrance of the great hall had been completely sealed shut. An energy light screen of seven colors enveloped the entrance. With his current ability, he could not get out at all.
The information that the three tail feathers had given him made it clear that the only way to leave this place was by learning all of the three Glories that had been passed down to him. It was another trial he needed to pass.
Learn the Glory of Thunder, Glory of Wind and Glory of Cloud? Mo Wen was not too confident. After all, they were all rite of passage martial arts. With his current ability, he was not sure whether he would even be able to practice them, let alone be enlightened to the essences of the three Glories.
After contemplating the matter for a short while, Mo Wen decided to practice the Seven Glorious Infernos in the great hall. He had no other choice.
He sat cross-legged on the floor and closed his eyes. In his mind, he quietly contemplated the way of practice that had been passed down to him by the three tail feathers.
The three tail feathers had not only passed down the way of practice for the three Glories, but also the understanding and perception of the Inferno Star Lord towards the three Glories. For Mo Wen, this would undoubtedly cause him to wander less and more easily comprehend the method of the three Glories.
Despite this, however, Mo We was still befuddled at the beginning. On the surface, it appeared very simple, but with further thought, it felt very profound. He seemed to understand it very well, but when thinking about it again, discovered that he did not understand anything.
It felt both real and unreal, as though he understood and also did not understand. He seemed to have grasped something for a second, and then could not grasp anything at all.
A mere youth facing such a situation would certainly feel frustrated, but Mo Wen did not. It was because he knew, the more frustrated he became, the more it would be impossible for him to be enlightened to such a martial arts teaching. Mo Wen had never doubted the breadth and profundity of the rite of passage martial arts. If he could not even calm his heart, he would probably not have a chance.
Mo Wen just sat there as two days and nights passed by. His figure did not move an inch. Only on the third day did he slowly open his eyes. A burst of light exploded out of them. His gaze was much deeper than it had been before, which seemingly came from the different experience he had just had.
After the light retracted though, what was left was just confusion.
“Curious, curious. The more I understand, the more I don’t understand.” Mo Wen frowned. After a while, he sighed. He had comprehended much about the methods of the three Glories but had not grasped the key points. If he wanted to practice now, he still felt at a loss on where to begin.
“What should I do?” Mo Wen furrowed his brow. This time he was truly stumped. It was not that his comprehension was weak, but he felt that his experiences could not keep up. It was like an elementary school student being unable to do high school problems no matter how smart they were. It was because they had never come into contact with these things before.
The rite of passage martial arts was something that only ancient martial art practitioners who had become immortal could come into contact with. Mo Wen comprehending it right now was obviously taxing for him, or maybe he did not know his own strength.
“This won’t work. If this continues, it will be impossible for me to be enlightened to the methods of the three Glories. It would be nice to have an ancient martial art practitioner who began one’s immortal cultivation by practicing martial arts to give me pointers.”
Only ancient martial art practitioners who began one’s immortal cultivation by practicing martial arts could understand rite of passage martial arts. If he had such a master to instruct him on what to do, maybe Mo Wen could still manage to practice the method of the three Glories. Otherwise, with his current experience, practicing the method of the three Glories was a bit too difficult.
Suddenly, Mo Wen’s gaze landed on a Spiral Dragon Pillar in the great hall. He seemed to have recalled something. He immediately got up and walked towards the nearest Spiral Dragon Pillar.
Earlier he had noticed that on the eighteen Spiral Dragon Pillars in the great hall, there were carvings of human silhouettes demonstrating martial arts teachings. The martial arts teachings were naturally not simple. They were very likely rite of passage martial arts.
However, unfortunately, Mo Wen could not understand them. The results of his forced observation had nearly caused his soul to be injured from a concussion.
If he could follow the martial arts teachings demonstrations on the Spiral Dragon Pillar, maybe he would have a breakthrough in his comprehending of the method of the three Glories.
Mo Wen once again walked up in front of Spiral Dragon Pillar, attempting to see through the human silhouette actions through sheer effort. Although he knew that it such a method might not be successful, he could not think of another way.
Mo Wen was surprised to realize that the human silhouettes on the Spiral Dragon Pillar were not as ethereal and blurry as they had been before. Now, at a glance, he could clearly sense any changes in the human silhouettes. He could see even the tiniest action clearly.
“What’s going on?” Mo Wen’s eyes welled up with surprise. This time, observing the Spiral Dragon Pillar was completely different from before. It was practically the difference between heaven and earth. The human silhouettes that he had struggled to see clearly on the Spiral Dragon Pillar were now clear as day, as though they were happening right before his eyes.
“Could it… be related to being reborn?” Mo Wen touched his chin thoughtfully. His current body was obviously very different from before. Aside from becoming more powerful, there would have been other changes. There might also be some hidden power in the three tail feathers which had led to the changes.
Even right now he was a bit confused. Obtaining the crimson gold tail feather had affected everything that had happened to him next.
The idea that a few dead objects could guide a living breathing human like himself made Mo Wen feel strange. However, he was also more and more curious about the three tail feathers. He had never doubted that there was such an incredible item in the world. He knew of even more incredible divine items.
Right now, he was instead somewhat full of anticipation. What rank of treasure was the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan? Could it be a legendary sacred level weapon?
Magical treasures had five ranks: spiritual weapon, profound level weapon, treasured level weapon, sacred level weapon, and immortal level weapon.
An immortal level weapon was an item that existed only in legends. So, Mo Wen knew that in reality, the highest rank for magical treasures was a sacred level weapon.
The Divine Pill Sect had often been rumored to have enshrined an astonishing sacred level weapon. The very thought of its power meant no one within a million-mile radius would dare to challenge the position of the Divine Pill Sect.
Mo Wen did not know much about the sacred level weapon. He had only heard rumors of it. However, even if the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan was just a treasured level weapon, it was already a rare item in the world. A treasured level weapon was different from a spiritual weapon or a profound level weapon. It was an immortal cultivator magical treasure that existed on a completely different level. Maybe some ancient martial art practitioners could use the power of spiritual weapons and profound level weapons through special means, but it would be impossible for them to draw out the power of a treasured level weapon.
Mo Wen expelled the stray thoughts from his mind. No matter how heaven-defying the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan was, it could only materialize when he found all seven of the tail feathers.
He was in a tight spot right now. If he could not comprehend the method of the three Glories, he would most likely be trapped in here until he died.
Mo Wen concentrated as he looked at the human silhouettes on the Spiral Dragon Pillar. At first, he continued to just watch, but soon after, his figure furiously shook. His concentration seemed to pour out uncontrollably, entering the Spiral Dragon Pillar before his eyes.
The next moment, a shocking scene occurred. He seemed to have changed locations. In his consciousness, a tall mountain appeared. He did not know how tall the peak was. It was like a pillar to the sky. An old elder stood at the peak, demonstrating fighting techniques.
Mo Wen seemed to be standing three meters from the elder, but he could not speak and could only watch with his eyes.
Everything that was happening was so vivid and lifelike. It seemed to be taking place before his very eyes.
The fighting techniques that the elder demonstrated were very simple. It seemed as though he was practicing the most common fighting techniques. But right now, Mo Wen’s entire being was immersed in the elder’s fighting techniques.
Mo Wen slowly came to his senses only after a long period of time. The huge Spiral Dragon Pillar still remained before him. The tall mountain had disappeared, as well as the elder.
But Mo Wen did not care at all. He seemed to be stunned, standing motionlessly in front of the Spiral Dragon Pillar for a long time. The light in his eyes was ever changing and only settled down after a long while.
“So that’s what it is. So that’s what it is… turning the simple into the miraculous. The highest realm of martial arts teachings is constantly making the miraculous simple and then making the simple miraculous. Repeatedly, again and again. Or maybe it should be said that martial arts teachings do not have a highest realm. We only find a higher realm through this cycle.”
Mo Wen took a deep breath. His gaze was exceptionally pure, as calm and clear as a pool.
He had no hesitation, once again walking up to the second Spiral Dragon Pillar. The situation was the same as before. Only this time, the martial arts teaching that the elder in white was demonstrating was different from the one before.
Another two days passed. For two whole days, Mo Wen contemplated the mysteries of the martial arts teachings. He had contemplated all the mysteries of the martial arts teachings on the eighteen Spiral Dragon Pillars without food or sleep.
The mysteries of the martial arts teachings was not the actual martial arts teachings themselves, but the most fundamental truth of the martial arts teachings. In other words, it was the general outline of all martial arts teachings.
In reality, on the Spiral Dragon Pillar, there were no martial arts teachings at all. They only passed down the most fundamental truth of the martial arts teachings. It was like a person needing to recognize words before learning to write. Only by recognizing words can a good piece of writing be produced.
However, different teachers would naturally produce different students.
The elder in white standing on the mountain peak was the Inferno Star Lord. Mo Wen’s current understanding of martial arts teachings had long broken through its original bottleneck. He had reached another level, far higher than that of normal martial arts teachings.
“So that’s what it is!” The corner of Mo Wen’s mouth curled up in a delighted arc. Before this, he might have had some ignorance, but right now he finally understood what a rite of passage martial arts was. Also, he was certain that the Glory of Thunder, Glory of Wind and Glory of Cloud were absolutely not a normal rite of passage martial arts. It was because even if an ancient martial art practitioner became immortal and began one’s immortal cultivation by practicing martial arts, they would not necessarily be able to comprehend the method of the three Glories.
Now though, Mo Wen had the confidence and ability to comprehend the method of the three Glories. It was all based on the tutelage of the Inferno Star Lord.
