The Western City's auction had finally come to an end. But when the curtains came to an end, the entire Western City was in an uproar. Everyone was shocked by the final price of 45,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid and they had many guesses about Lin Jing's identity.
Although the auction had come to an end, those with keen senses knew that the matter regarding the golden token wouldn't disappear so easily. That item was too eye-catching and there were so many experts gathered in the Western City. Although the Great Heaven Domain had successfully obtained it, that didn't mean that they were the true owners of the token …
Although the Great Heaven Domain was said to have some weight in the Northern Region, they didn't have much fame in the entire Greatlaw Continent. There were several peak forces in the Greatlaw Continent in the Western City, and Xia Hong and the rest were the elites amongst the younger generations of the Greatlaw Continent. As long as the leaders of the various peak forces didn't show up, they were practically invincible.
Although Mu Chen from the Great Heaven Domain wasn't ordinary, he was still a Quasi-Ninth Grade Sovereign. If he wanted to be compared to Xia Hong and the rest, then there was still a gap.
Thus, when the other forces knew that the token had fallen into the hands of the Great Heaven Domain, not only were they not disappointed, they even felt a little restless. That's because they could predict that there would be countless forces eyeing Mu Chen's party. At that time, they might even have the opportunity to fight for the token if a chaotic battle broke out …
As for Mu Chen's party, no one paid any attention to it. In the view of the other forces, an innocent man would get into trouble because of his wealth. The Great Heaven Domain would probably suffer a great loss this time.
Thus, in the chaotic western part of the city, undercurrents surged like a brewing storm.
…
In a courtyard in the Western City, the gates were tightly shut with a Spiritual Array hovering in the sky, isolating it from the outside world.
Mu Chen stood in the courtyard. He looked at the sky outside the courtyard and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that countless eyes in the western part of the city are staring at us."
Behind him, Jiu You also nodded and calmly said, "Looks like it will not be easy for us to take away the token from here."
"At the end of the day, it's because others think that we're not powerful enough."
Mu Chen shook his head. Their Great Heaven Domain didn't have much fame in the Greatlaw Continent. Furthermore, amongst their group, only a Ninth Grade Sovereign like Jiu You would be slightly fearful. As for a Quasi-Ninth Grade Sovereign like him, he might be directly disregarded.
"It seems that the things I bought have brought you some trouble …"
Behind them, Lin Jing, who was playing with a little bird in the courtyard, heard their conversation and raised her head. She blinked her eyes and smiled. "If you need any help, feel free to ask."
Mu Chen turned around and cast a glance at her with his eyes narrowed. There wasn't a single strand of Spiritual Energy fluctuation leaking from Lin Jing. Evidently, she must have some treasure to conceal her Spiritual Energy, so others couldn't sense her strength.
However, when he first met Lin Jing, the latter was also like him, gathering materials to refine her Sovereign Celestial Body. Now that so many years had passed, with her identity as the Princess of the Martial Realm and the guidance of a Heavenly Sovereign as her father, Lin Jing's strength might not be any weaker than his.
In addition to the deep foundation of the Martial Realm, Lin Jing probably had countless life-saving treasures. According to Mu Chen's guesses, even a genuine Earth Sovereign wouldn't be able to kill Lin Jing.
But facing such a powerful helper, Mu Chen shook his head with a smile. "If I don't even have the ability to protect it, then I might as well give it to someone else to avoid trouble."
His youthful face was calm, without any worry or panic from the current situation. His composure made Lin Jing gently nod her head in admiration.
It was no wonder why even her mother would give Mu Chen such a high evaluation. Back then, she didn't think much of it, but a few years later, he was indeed different from the masses.
"Yan, what do you intend to do?
According to this situation, I'm afraid that we will be besieged the moment we leave the Western City. "Jiu You asked.
Mu Chen squinted his eyelids and faintly said, "Since that's the case, then let's wait … since others are looking down on our Great Heaven Domain, then let them try.
"Right now, we need to make an example out of them."
…
Night enveloped the land.
Within the room, Mu Chen quietly sat with the Spiritual Energy circulating around his body. The Spiritual Aura between the heavens and earth was endlessly pouring into his body. He cultivated in this manner for a long time, before slowly opening his eyes. With a wave of his sleeve, two items appeared before him.
An incomplete Spiritual Array and a token.
It was the Nine Dragon God-Killing Array and mysterious token that Mu Chen had obtained from the auction.
Staring at the two items, Mu Chen briefly pondered before he received the incomplete Spiritual Array. The complete form of this Spiritual Array was a genuine Scholar Grade Spiritual Array. The moment it was activated, it could even confront an Earth Sovereign Realm powerhouse.
A Spiritual Array Scholar was a realm that every Spiritual Array Master yearned for. As long as one could step into that realm, then one's Spiritual Array cultivation could be considered as greater success.
Naturally, the true pinnacle was still the legendary Spiritual Array Ancestor.
It was a terrifying existence comparable to a Heavenly Sovereign, but it was rare even in the Great Thousand World. What made Mu Chen proud was that his mother was also one of them.
"I wonder how mother is now … and Big Sister Ling Xi. Ever since Hokuang Reiwon left, there hasn't been any news of her. She said that she went to look for mother, but I wonder how she's doing."
Mu Chen caressed the Spiritual Array as his thoughts drifted. But in the end, he took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions in his heart. Although he was already at the Quasi-Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm, it was still insufficient. As his strength grew, he could vaguely sense how powerful the mysterious clan behind his mother was. It was a power that even his mother, who had stepped into the Spiritual Array Ancestor Realm, was fearful of. Although part of it was because she wanted to protect him and his father, it also proved how powerful that clan was.
Mu Chen pursed his lips as he focused his gaze on the damaged Spiritual Array before him. Closing his eyes, the Spiritual Energy in his hands surged and gradually poured into the ancient and tattered scroll.
Boom!
As his Spiritual Energy perception seeped in, a rumbling noise exploded in Mu Chen's mind. A dazzling lustre burst out and the scene immediately changed.
It was a mountain with a white-haired old man standing with his hands behind his back. He waved his hand and Spiritual Seals gushed out like a tidal wave, fusing into space, forming into complicated Spiritual Energy runes that intertwined, causing the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth to fluctuate.
As the Spiritual Seals gradually formed into a formation, the white-haired old man flicked his finger. Nine streaks of light shot out, faintly accompanied by a dragon roar.
The nine streams of light rushed into the huge formation. When the light dissipated, their true appearance was revealed. Within the light were nine genuine dragon skeletons!
The nine dragon skeletons formed the nine central positions of the Array. When they entered, the Spiritual Array seemed to have come to life and a torrential Spiritual Lustre swept out between the heavens and earth. The boundless Spiritual Lustre gathered around the dragon skeletons and used Spiritual Energy to condense into flesh and blood, turning the nine dragon skeletons into nine genuine dragons.
However, those dragons weren't made of flesh and blood, but Spiritual Energy.
But even so, the terrifying pressure emitted from the nine dragons was still incomparably powerful.
Whoosh!
When the Nine Dragon God-Killing Array was completed, a silhouette flickered before the peak and a silhouette appeared with a torrential aura. It was an Earth Sovereign Realm powerhouse.
The white-haired old man indifferently cast a glance before flicking his finger. The nine dragons roared and in an instant, nine draconic breaths gushed out, piercing through space and slammed against the Earth Sovereign Realm powerhouse.
Boom!
It was just a single clash and the Earth Sovereign Realm powerhouse was blown back in a pathetic state with blood spewing from his mouth. The Spiritual Energy pressure around him had dropped and he had clearly suffered heavy injuries.
The scene ended and a large amount of information surged into Mu Chen's mind.
Huff.
Mu Chen took a deep breath and opened his eyes. There was some shock within his eyes as he muttered to himself, "What a powerful and complicated Spiritual Array …"
He shook his head and sighed. Although the information he had received was incomplete, it was enough for him to catch a glimpse of what was going on. Not only was the Nine Dragon God-killing Array massive, but it also required a central object, which was the dragon bone that had appeared before.
The Spiritual Array was linked to the dragon skeletons, using the aura of the dragon skeletons and Spiritual Energy to form the dragon skeletons. When the two of them combined, the power was comparable to a genuine Earth Sovereign Realm powerhouse.
"But this scroll is, after all, incomplete. According to what it says, even if I can comprehend it, I'm afraid that I can only form the Four Dragon Array. It's still far from the Nine Dragon Array."
Mu Chen felt a little pity, but he soon felt relieved. If this Spiritual Array was complete, then it's impossible for him to set it up with his current attainments in Spiritual Arrays.
On the contrary, if he could analyse this incomplete Spiritual Array, he might have a chance of success.
"Looks like I have to gather some dragon skeletons …" Mu Chen muttered to himself. According to what the Spiritual Array said, the stronger the owner of the dragon skeletons was, the stronger the Nine Dragon God-Killing Array would be.
But right now, he clearly didn't need any high-grade dragon skeletons, so it wouldn't be too difficult for him to gather them.
Thinking about it, Mu Chen nodded his head in satisfaction. Thereafter, he shifted his gaze and looked at the ancient mottled golden token …
