The mountain behind Luo God Palace.
Sitting cross-legged on the mountain top, Mu Chen suddenly opened his eyes that had been shut for ten days. A lingering fear now painted his face.
“Phew… That was close…” Wiping the sweat off his brow, he thought of the dangerous scene that had happened before. Although only a small piece of his mind had sneaked into the Budur Ancient Clan, he would not have escaped if a Heavenly Sovereign had gotten hold of it and detected the position of his physical body. Thankfully, his mother had aided him at the most crucial moment. Otherwise, he would have suffered a terrible consequence.
“Mother…” When he thought of the sudden change in the spiritual superarray and the protection it gave him, a warm stream flowed through his heart. Although the mother and son could not see each other at this time, Mu Chen could feel their bond of blood that was thicker than water.
Maybe his mother had already thought of this day when she left the Great Pagoda Art for him. That could be why she sabotaged the spiritual superarray in advance to protect Mu Chen at the most crucial moment. It was obvious that Qing Yanjing had mulled hard and long for his sake.
“Mother, please be at ease, for I am no longer a weak and incompetent youth,” Mu Chen mumbled to himself with his fists clenched tight. Indeed, he was now not only an Earthly Sovereign, but he had his own force under him. Most importantly, he now had a decent network. He held the Martial Ancestor’s rune stone in his hands. Even if the Budur Ancient Clan sent Heavenly Sovereigns after him, he would not be completely vulnerable.
He was trying all the methods available to increase his growth. He believed that one day, even without any help, the Budur Ancient Clan would not be able to touch him.
His emotions were boiling for a while. Then, Mu Chen regained his calm and started to analyze the rewards he had reaped from his adventure in the Budur Ancient Clan. With a thought in his heart, he could feel a crystal clear pagoda floating quietly within him. This pagoda was much more exquisite than the one before. Mu Chen could even feel a holy and mysterious aura emanating from it.
Mu Chen hummed quietly and activated his crystal pagoda. He saw beams of flames emerge and set the pagoda on fire. The crystalline flames were extremely beautiful, but Mu Chen could feel an extremely dangerous fluctuation coming from them.
In the previous pagoda, he could produce the fire of pagoda, forcibly refining his enemies’ celestial bodies. It was obvious that this crystal flame had the same powers and was even more powerful.
Feeling the potency of these flames, Mu Chen nodded in satisfaction. Then, forming a seal with one hand, his inner spiritual energy rushed out like a torrent into the crystal pagoda.
Fuhhhhhhh…
The immense spiritual energy poured into the crystal pagoda. Mu Chen could observe the spiritual energy turning a crystalline color.
Before this, Mu Chen’s spiritual energy was slightly purple, as it was combined with the undying flame. Through the crystal pagoda, it was transformed into a different mystical spiritual energy. Feeling the crystal spiritual energy, Mu Chen hesitated for a while and then invoked all the spiritual energy in his body, pouring all of it into the crystal pagoda.
Within ten short breaths, Mu Chen was filled with the crystal spiritual energy. He arose, and the surface of his body shined with a clear light. He raised his palm, and in it, a crystalline liquid converged, flowing slowly.
“The spiritual energy is stronger now!” Mu Chen felt an immeasurable strength as deep as the seas within himself. Even with his steady composure he was a little shaken. He estimated that his inner spiritual energy had been strengthened several times over. Purely considering its strength, he was at the peak of Lower Earthly Sovereign!
“This crystal pagoda can even amplify these two powerful energies,” Mu Chen was amazed. Forget about Earthly Sovereigns, even Heavenly Sovereigns would be intrigued by these two powerful energies.
However this type of crystal spiritual energy was a little too strange for Mu Chen. If the undying flame he merged with his spiritual energy was a hot, continuous, bursting flow, the crystal spiritual energy was rather holy and mysterious.
Swish!
While Mu Chen was deeply engrossed in this strange crystal energy, a gust of wind blew in from afar. Luo Li, Luo Tianshen, and Luo Tianlong appeared on the peak. As they appeared, they looked at Mu Chen with startled expressions. Obviously, they had felt the change in Mu Chen.
“How did your spiritual energy get so much stronger?!” Luo Tianshen was the first to ask. Staring at Mu Chen in astonishment, he was able to feel that Mu Chen’s spiritual energy strength was a few times more intense than it had been ten days ago. This improvement was absolutely terrifying!
Luo Tianlong looked at Mu Chen with the same astonishment. However, Luo Li was looking at him keenly, clearly not surprised by Mu Chen’s miraculous transformation.
“Why did your spiritual energy change so much?” Luo Tianshen stared at Mu Chen in disbelief. He discovered that the quality of Mu Chen’s spiritual energy was completely different. Once the cultivation of spiritual energy was complete, it would take a whole lot of effort to re-cultivate it, but in just ten days of seclusion, Mu Chen was able to completely change his spiritual energy!
With Luo Tianshen’s perception as an Upper Earthly Sovereign, he could see that Mu Chen’s crystalline spiritual energy was not the same as before.
Mu Chen raised his head and smiled at the three, then he laughed and said to Luo Tianlong, “Uncle Tianlong, let’s test my new spiritual energy.”
Hearing this, Luo Tianlong knew Mu Chen wanted to use him as a practice target. He walked forward nonchalantly and declared loudly, “Let’s see if your new toy is really that exceptional, huh?”
Mu Chen smiled as he stretched forth his palm and held onto Luo Tianlong’s wrist. Crystal spiritual energy poured in like the tides into the latter’s body. Luo Tianlong allowed Mu Chen’s spiritual energy to flow in and attempted to use his own to defuse Mu Chen’s. He was shocked to realize that his own spiritual energy was as still as a body of dead water. No matter how he invoked it, it wouldn’t budge a single bit.
Within ten breaths, Luo Tianlong’s powerful spiritual energy fluctuation was completely silenced. Without spiritual energy fluctuation, he seemed like a normal person without any training. Losing the power of spiritual energy, Luo Tianlong was stunned. He stared blankly at Mu Chen, not knowing what to do.
Luo Tianshen, however, saw the key. With a serious expression, he pressed his palm onto Luo Tianlong’s shoulder. He reached out his senses and then said in alarm, “Your inner spiritual energy was sealed!”
“It was sealed?” It was Mu Chen’s turn to shout in surprise.
Luo Tianshen nodded heavily, forcibly pouring his spiritual energy into Luo Tianlong, defusing the crystal spiritual energy in his body. Then, Luo Tianlong’s forceful spiritual energy was once again apparent.
Even after unlocking the seal, Luo Tianlong was still looking at Mu Chen as if he were seeing a ghost. His face was pale. The feeling of losing his powers struck fear into him. “In addition to conversion and amplification, the crystal pagoda has the power of sealing.”
Even Mu Chen was stunned. He could not imagine how tyrannical the crystal pagoda was. Although conversion and amplification were supportive abilities, they were extremely practical. As for sealing, it was even more horrifying. With this, even Earthly Sovereigns would become lambs to the slaughter once the crystal spiritual energy invaded their bodies.
“There is actually a spiritual energy with sealing properties in the Great Thousand World?” Luo Tianlong said in disbelief.
Luo Tianshen hummed deeply for a moment. He gazed at Mu Chen with a judgemental look and said, “From what I know of the Great Thousand World, the Budur Ancient Clan was the most proficient in the Power of Sealing. Their spiritual energy has the effect of sealing, which is difficult to handle.”
Luo Tianlong was startled for a moment. He looked at Mu Chen with a terrified expression. Could he be related somehow to the Budur Ancient Clan?
Mu Chen’s eyes lit up. He did not know Luo Tianshen was so knowledgeable that he would suspect the Budur Ancient Clan so quickly. He did not want to hide anything from Luo Li’s two elders and found himself at a crossroads.
“Well, since Mu Chen has this in his arsenal, we should have a greater chance in the upcoming battle for the Child of the Continent,” Luo Li interrupted gently with a smile.
Mu Chen looked at her with gratitude. Then with a thought, all the crystal spiritual energy dissipated. Finally, after leaving the crystal pagoda, he could feel the crystalline spiritual energy turning back into his original spiritual energy.
Feeling the perfect transition, Mu Chen could not help but sigh in awe. No wonder the Budur Ancient Clan could become one of the most ancient clans in the Great Thousand World. Their skills were indeed exceptionally mystical.
“We have less than ten days before the battle. In a few days we should leave for the Western Kingdom War Temple,” Luo Li said while smiling at Mu Chen.
Understanding Luo Li’s meaning, Mu Chen could not help but say, “Do you want to join in, too?”
Luo Li laughed and replied, “The Luo God Clan existed in the Western Kingdom Continent long ago before the Western Kingdom War Temple did. Of course we are eligible to join. But I am not as crazy as you, as I am only joining the Lower Earthly Sovereign Battlefield.”
Mu Chen nodded slightly. Although Luo Li had just become a Lower Earthly Sovereign, she had the legendary Luo God Celestial Body. Her strength was not to be underestimated. She would be the one of the top candidates in the Battlefield of Lower Earthly Sovereigns.
Mu Chen smiled at Luo Li and said, “If so, then both of us will take all the slots for Child of the Continent. Since the West Heaven War Emperor has pissed us off, let’s get him back!”
“Of course,” Luo Li nodded and smiled.
Luo Tianshen and Luo Tianlong could only shake their heads and smile bitterly as they saw the two confident lovebirds staring at each other. They felt like the two of them would definitely stir up an earth-shaking ruckus in the battle for the Child of the Continent.
