The Luo God Palace's rear mountain
Mu Chen, who was seated on the mountain peak, suddenly opened his eyes, which had been shut for the past ten days. But at this moment, his face was filled with lingering fear.
"What a close call!"
He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. That scene was too dangerous. Although he had only sent a strand of his consciousness into the Ancient Buddha Clan's Ancestral Land, if that strand of his consciousness fell into the hands of a Heavenly Sovereign of the Ancient Buddha Clan, they would definitely be able to sense his location. At that time, he wouldn't be able to escape.
But fortunately, his mother had helped him at the crucial moment. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in a good state right now.
"Mother!"
Thinking about the changes in the super Spiritual Array and the protection it gave him, a warm feeling flowed in his heart. Although the mother and son did not meet, Mu Chen could feel the connection of blood being thicker than water.
Perhaps his mother had already expected this day when she left him the Great Pagoda Art. Therefore, she had left some tricks in the super Spiritual Array a long time in advance. That trick might be the most crucial protection for Mu Chen when his aura appeared.
Evidently, Qing Yanjing had given it a lot of thought for him.
"Mother, don't worry about it. I'm no longer that weak youth from back then …" Mu Chen muttered to himself with his fists clenched. Indeed, not only had he stepped into the Earth Sovereign Realm, he even had his own force. Naturally, the most important factor was that he had a decent network.
Right now, he still had the Martial Ancestor's stone talisman, so even if the Ancient Buddha Clan sends a Heavenly Sovereign to capture him, he's not without means.
Furthermore, he was also trying his best to grow. He believed that one day, even if he didn't have to rely on external forces, he would be able to render the Ancient Buddha Clan helpless against him.
The emotions in Mu Chen's heart fluctuated for a long time before he gradually calmed his heart and started to examine his harvest in the Ancient Buddha Clan's Ancestral Land.
With a thought, he sensed a sparkling and translucent pagoda quietly floating in his body.
Compared to the previous pagoda, this pagoda was undoubtedly more exquisite. Furthermore, Mu Chen could sense a sacred and mysterious aura coming from it.
After a brief pondering, Mu Chen controlled the crystal pagoda and saw a sparkling flame flickering in the pagoda before it started to burn.
Those crystal-like flames were extremely beautiful. However, Mu Chen could sense an extremely dangerous fluctuation coming from them.
In the past, the Nine-layered Pagoda could refine the Pagoda Flames and forcefully refine the Sovereign Celestial Body of the enemy. Clearly, the crystallised flames possessed the same ability, and it was even more overbearing than before.
Sensing the domineering crystalline flames, Mu Chen nodded his head in satisfaction and formed seals with a single hand. Instantly, the Spiritual Energy in his body gushed out and poured into the crystalline pagoda.
Huff!
As boundless Spiritual Energy poured into the pagoda, Mu Chen could sense the Spiritual Energy turning into a crystalline colour at a visible speed.
In the past, Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy had fused with the Undying Flames, so it was slightly purple. But after going through the pagoda, it had turned into another profound Spiritual Energy.
Sensing the crystalline Spiritual Energy, Mu Chen briefly hesitated before he poured all the Spiritual Energy in his body into the pagoda.
In just ten-odd breaths, Mu Chen's body was filled with crystalline Spiritual Energy.
Mu Chen stood up. At this moment, a crystalline lustre was being emitted from the surface of his body. He raised his hand and crystallized Spiritual Energy gathered in his palm like liquid as it slowly flowed.
"My Spiritual Energy has grown stronger!"
Sensing the unfathomable energy in his body, Mu Chen couldn't help being shocked, even with his composure. That's because, according to his estimations, the Spiritual Energy in his body had grown by several folds.
Just based on the density of his Spiritual Energy, he was practically at the pinnacle of the Lesser Earth Sovereign Realm!
"This crystal pagoda actually has the ability to convert and amplify!" Mu Chen exclaimed. Not to mention Earth Sovereigns, even Heavenly Sovereigns would be tempted by these two abilities.
But the crystallised Spiritual Energy was a little unfamiliar to Mu Chen. In the past, when his Spiritual Energy had fused with the Undying Flames, it was blazing and endless. But right now, this crystallised Spiritual Energy had an additional sacred and mysterious aura.
Whoosh!
While Mu Chen was immersed in the unfamiliar crystalline Spiritual Energy, whizzing sounds of wind resounded and Luo Li, Luo Tianshen, and Luo Tianlong appeared on the peak.
When they appeared, they looked at Mu Chen with astonished gazes. They could sense that Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy was completely different from before.
"You … how did your Spiritual Energy grow so much stronger?!"
Luo Tianshen was the first to speak out as he looked at Mu Chen with shock. He could sense that Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy was several times denser than it was ten days ago.
This kind of improvement was absolutely terrifying!
Luo Tianlong also looked at Mu Chen with shock, while Luo Li had an interested expression. Evidently, he wasn't surprised by the miracle that happened to Mu Chen.
"Furthermore, why did your Spiritual Energy change so much?"
Luo Tianshen looked at Mu Chen with disbelief. That's because he realised that Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy was completely different from before. One must know that once the cultivation of Spiritual Energy was determined, it would require a great amount of effort to re-cultivate it. But Mu Chen had only been in seclusion for ten days, so how did his Spiritual Energy completely change?
With Luo Tianshen's senses as a Greater Earth Sovereign, he could naturally tell that the crystallised Spiritual Energy in Mu Chen was completely different from before.
Mu Chen raised his head and smiled towards the three of them before turning to Luo Tianlong. "Uncle Tianlong, help me test out this new Spiritual Energy."
Luo Tianlong knew that Mu Chen wanted to use him as a target, so he casually walked up and casually said, "I'll see what's so extraordinary about this thing of yours."
Mu Chen smiled as he stretched his hand out and grabbed onto Luo Tianlong's wrist. The crystallised Spiritual Energy poured into Luo Tianlong's body like a tidal wave.
Luo Tianlong allowed Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy to pour into his body and wanted to use the Spiritual Energy in his body to expel it. However, when his Spiritual Energy came in contact with the crystallised Spiritual Energy, he was shocked to realise that his Spiritual Energy had suddenly quietened down. No matter how he tried, it wouldn't budge.
In just ten-odd breaths, the powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation around Luo Tianlong had completely calmed down. There wasn't any Spiritual Energy fluctuation coming from him, as if he was an ordinary person that had never cultivated Spiritual Energy.
Luo Tianlong was dumbfounded when the Spiritual Energy in his body lost its effect. He blankly looked at Mu Chen and had no idea what to do.
On the other hand, Luo Tianshen, who was standing to the side, had noticed something. His face turned grave as he stretched his hand out and placed it on Luo Tianlong's shoulder. After a brief sensing, he exclaimed, "The Spiritual Energy in your body has been sealed!"
"It's sealed?" This time, even Mu Chen exclaimed in shock.
Luo Tianshen solemnly nodded his head and poured his powerful Spiritual Energy into Luo Tianlong's body, gradually expelling the crystallised Spiritual Energy in the latter's body. Thus, the powerful Spiritual Energy in Luo Tianlong's body was revealed once again.
But even after the seal was removed, Luo Tianlong still looked at Mu Chen as if he had seen a ghost. His face was a little pale. The feeling of being crippled had made him feel a little fearful.
"Not only does the crystal pagoda have the ability to convert and amplify, but it can also bestow Spiritual Energy with the power of sealing!"
Mu Chen was also shocked. He never expected the crystal pagoda to be so overbearing. Not to mention the conversion and amplification, it was extremely practical despite being supportive. As for the seal, it was even more terrifying. Even an Earth Sovereign would be instantly turned into a lamb waiting to be slaughtered if his crystallised Spiritual Energy invaded their body and sealed their Spiritual Energy.
"The Great Thousand World actually has Spiritual Energy that can seal?" Luo Tianlong said with disbelief.
Luo Tianshen briefly pondered before he looked at Mu Chen with a peculiar gaze. "According to what I know, the Ancient Buddha Clan is the most proficient in sealing in the Great Thousand World. Their Spiritual Energy has the effect of sealing, and it's extremely troublesome."
Luo Tianlong was stunned before he looked at Mu Chen in astonishment. Could it be that Mu Chen was related to the Ancient Buddha Clan?
Mu Chen's gaze flickered. He never expected that Luo Tianshen would be so knowledgeable to guess the Ancient Buddha Clan so quickly. But facing the two Seniors of Luo Li, he didn't want to lie to them, so he was placed in a difficult position.
"Alright, since Mu Chen has such means, then we have more confidence in the Seed of the Continent contest this time." Luo Li smiled as she changed the topic.
Mu Chen gave her a grateful gaze before the crystallised Spiritual Energy dissipated. He could sense that after leaving the crystal pagoda, the crystallised Spiritual Energy had turned back into the Spiritual Energy that he had cultivated in the past.
Sensing the perfect transformation, Mu Chen couldn't help sighing. It was no wonder why the Ancient Buddha Clan could become one of the most ancient clans in the Great Thousand World. Such profound means were truly godly.
"There's only ten days left until the Seed of the Continent contest. We will make a move in a few days for the West Heaven Temple." Luo Li smiled towards Mu Chen.
Hearing the meaning behind Luo Li's words, Mu Chen's heart trembled. "You're going to participate as well?"
Luo Li chuckled, "My Luo God Clan has existed in the West Heaven Continent longer than the West Heaven Temple, so I'm naturally qualified to participate. But I'm not as monstrous as you. I will only be participating in the Lesser Earth Sovereign Battlefield."
Mu Chen nodded his head. Although Luo Li had just stepped into the Lesser Earth Sovereign Realm, she possessed the legendary Luo Shen Celestial Body, so her strength couldn't be underestimated. At that time, she would definitely be a strong contender for the quota in the Lesser Earth Sovereign Battlefield.
"Since that's the case …"
Mu Chen smiled towards Luo Li. "At that time, we will obtain the quota for the Seed of the Continent. Since the West Heaven Battle Emperor wants to make us unhappy, then we will make him unhappy as well!"
"That should be the case." Luo Li nodded her head before she covered her mouth and smiled.
Luo Tianshen and Luo Tianlong exchanged a look when they saw the confident couple. In the end, they could only shake their heads with bitter smiles. They felt that the two of them would cause a huge commotion in the West Heaven Continent's Seed of the Continent contest.
