Buzz!
The Divine Pagoda constantly revolved before Mu Chen and expanded, turning into a massive pagoda that descended from the sky and enveloped Mu Chen and the Pagoda Ancestor's will.
As the crystallised lustre spread out in the pagoda, Mu Chen couldn't wait to raise his head and look at the walls of the pagoda. At this moment, there were eight images on the four walls of the pagoda.
The eight images were all ferocious and ferocious, and they emitted an extremely dense evil aura. If an ordinary person were to look at them, their mind would be seized by the evil aura.
However, Mu Chen's gaze was filled with unconcealable joy when he looked at the eight ferocious images.
"This is the Eight-Divisional Pagoda?"
Mu Chen muttered to himself in disbelief. After all, the Eight-Divisional Pagoda was one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities in the Great Thousand World.
Not to mention Perfected Earth Sovereigns, even Saint Heavenly Sovereigns would be tempted by this Divine Ability.
Mu Chen stared at the eight ferocious images on the walls of the pagoda. With a thought, a spiritual light surged out from the images. Thereafter, the eight images separated from the pagoda's walls and turned into a massive entity. It stood in the air and emitted a terrifying might.
"This power …"
Mu Chen briefly sensed it and a smile rose on the corner of his lips. According to his estimations, if he encountered Shi Tianyou again, he only needed to trap the latter in the pagoda and activate the Eight-Divisional Pagoda to kill the latter. As for Xuan Luo and Mo Xin, they wouldn't even be qualified to fight in the pagoda.
The power of the eight protectors could suppress anyone beneath the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.
Right now, Mu Chen possessed two top-tiered Peerless Divine Abilities in the Great Thousand World. His fighting prowess was undoubtedly the strongest beneath the Heavenly Sovereign Realm!
"As expected of the Divine Pagoda, divine and peerless. Otherwise, I'm afraid that you wouldn't be able to control them so easily." The Pagoda Ancestor lightly smiled.
The materials used to refine the Eight Divisional Pagoda were genuine Demon Emperors. If it wasn't for the fact that Mu Chen had the Divine Pagoda, which made it impervious to all evils and had the ability to seal and suppress it, it would have taken him several years to nurture the Buddha Core before he could imprint it into his own pagoda.
Mu Chen nodded in agreement. When he activated the Eight-Divisional Pagoda's power, he could feel the ferocious aura. If it wasn't for the Divine Pagoda's suppression, he would have suffered greatly.
Clearly, even if an ordinary person obtained a Peerless Divine Ability of this level, they wouldn't be able to cultivate it. If they were to forcefully cultivate it, they would bring disaster to themselves instead.
"Thank you, Senior!"
Mu Chen looked at the Pagoda Ancestor and spoke with sincerity. If it wasn't for the former's favour, he might not have the fate to obtain the Eight-Divisional Pagoda.
The Pagoda Ancestor smiled with his eyes narrowed. "This old man still has to thank you for passing down this Peerless Divine Ability of mine."
Mu Chen smiled and did not speak any further. But in his heart, he felt even more respect for the Pagoda Ancestor.
"Right, Senior, how's the situation in the Four Saint Pagoda?" Mu Chen suddenly thought of Luo Li and immediately asked.
"Aside from the Spear Ancestor's level being lost, the other two levels are in good condition. At this moment, the Four Saint Pagoda has basically stabilised. The remnant soul of the Sky Monarch that escaped from the Spear Ancestor's level will not be able to escape, and it will sooner or later be annihilated by the Four Saint Pagoda." The Pagoda Ancestor smiled. It looks like the crisis this time has been resolved.
When Mu Chen heard his words, he felt slightly relieved. Since that's the case, then Luo Li's level should have obtained victory. However, he had no idea if the inheritance of the Ancient Spirit Channeling Light had fallen into the hands of Luo Li.
While Mu Chen's thoughts circulated in his heart, the Pagoda Ancestor raised his head and looked at the dilapidated pagoda. After a brief silence, he smiled. "Since there's still some Spiritual Energy left in this pagoda, then this old man will give you a small fortune."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and a dazzling spiritual lustre gathered in the pagoda. It was a genuine spiritual lustre, a manifestation of Spiritual Energy being condensed into a substantial form.
Buzz!
As the spiritual lustre whistled down, when it came in contact with Mu Chen's head, it turned into torrential Spiritual Energy and poured into Mu Chen's body.
When the Spiritual Energy appeared, Mu Chen knew the Pagoda Ancestor's intention. The Pagoda Ancestor wanted to pour the remaining energy in the pagoda into his body to strengthen him.
As the Spiritual Light continued to pour into Mu Chen's body, the mottled pagoda, which was already in tatters, started to deteriorate at a shocking speed as it dimmed down.
Mu Chen's body was emitting a lustre, as if he was a crystal. Under the cleansing of the boundless Spiritual Energy, the flesh and blood throughout his body had faintly turned sparkling and translucent.
It was so much so that even his flesh and blood had started to emit a faint fragrance.
That's because the impurities in his body had been completely eliminated and there wasn't any impurities. Thus, there was a faint fragrance.
No one knew how long the Spiritual Light lasted. When Mu Chen opened his eyes again, he realised that the Nine-layered Pagoda was already so dim that it was on the verge of shattering. Cracks were spreading everywhere.
Beside him, the Pagoda Ancestor's silhouette had also turned more illusory. Evidently, it was the sign of his energy being exhausted.
Mu Chen sensed his own body and sensed that his flesh and blood were emitting a crystalline lustre. Surges of powerful Spiritual Energy were constantly circulating in his meridians like a current.
"Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm!"
Sensing it, Mu Chen knew his current realm. Although he had yet to break through to the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm, he felt relieved instead.
"This old man has only used the remaining energy to refine your body. The excess Spiritual Energy has fused into your body to help you reach the Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm, but I did not help you break through."
The Pagoda Ancestor smiled. "This old man knows that your ambition isn't small, and in the future, you might even surpass this old man. So why would I use such a method to hasten your growth?"
Scratching his head, Mu Chen smiled in embarrassment.
He was indeed a little worried that the Pagoda Ancestor might raise him to the Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm. Although it would allow him to obtain greater power in a short period of time, it might not be a good thing in the long run.
The path of cultivation required one to take it step by step. Mu Chen's talent was shocking, and his cultivation speed wasn't slow. So he didn't need to forcefully raise his cultivation. What he wanted was for it to happen naturally.
With a stable foundation, only then would he be able to reach the Heavenly Sovereign Realm or even the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm.
"If it's the Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm, I just need to nourish myself for a period before I can consume the Holy Spirit Pellet and break through in a perfect state." Mu Chen thought in his heart.
"Alright, I've basically given all the benefits to you." The Pagoda Ancestor clapped his hands, causing Mu Chen to return to his senses and teased.
Mu Chen stood up and gave a sincere bow towards the Pagoda Ancestor. This was the first time that he had been so respectful to someone from the Ancient Buddha Clan after all these years.
The Pagoda Ancestor did not decline modestly, but accepted Mu Chen's bow. In terms of bloodline, he could be considered as Mu Chen's ancestor, so he could naturally accept it.
"Mu Chen!"
"Yes." Mu Chen respectfully replied.
The Pagoda Ancestor stared at him for a long time before he slowly said, "No matter what grudges you have with the Ancient Buddha Clan, you still have the bloodline of the Ancient Buddha Clan flowing in your body. I hope that you can promise me that if the Ancient Buddha Clan encounters a calamity, you can protect it once."
Mu Chen was stunned. At this moment, he was only a Greater Earth Sovereign, and before the Ancient Buddha Clan, he was akin to an ant. But the Pagoda Ancestor actually said such words to him?
A complicated feeling rose in his heart as he looked at the old man's gaze of expectation and gently nodded his head.
Seeing Mu Chen nodding his head, the Pagoda Ancestor had a smile of relief on his face. His silhouette also started to turn more illusory, with rocks constantly falling from the pagoda. Evidently, it was on the verge of collapsing.
"This old man will send you out of the Four Saint Pagoda. All of you have done a good job."
The Pagoda Ancestor waved his hand and a spiritual lustre enveloped Mu Chen, before space distorted and devoured him.
Rumble!
Along with Mu Chen's departure, the pagoda collapsed and rocks fell, burying this pagoda that had once shaken the Great Thousand World.
When the Spiritual Energy lustre that enveloped Mu Chen dissipated, a commotion resounded in the surroundings. He swept his gaze around and realised that he was outside the Four Saint Pagoda.
There were many silhouettes around him. Evidently, everyone that had entered the Four Saint Pagoda had been sent out.
"Mu Chen!"
A clear voice rang out, causing Mu Chen to raise his head. In the next instant, a smile surfaced on his handsome face, only to see Wen Qingxuan, Luo Li and the rest quickly walking over from nearby.
"How was it?" Mu Chen looked at Luo Li and asked with concern.
"Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you." Luo Li sweetly smiled. Her bright eyes and white teeth stunned Mu Chen once again.
"What about you?"
Mu Chen extended his hand and gently held onto Luo Li's jade-like hand. He grinned and said, "We're both the biggest winners."
Xuan Luo and Mo Xin looked at Mu Chen's direction with a dark gaze before exchanging a look and muttered to themselves, "Winner?
You can say that again when you can leave the Sacred Abyss Continent alive! "
As they spoke, they clenched their hands and a jade talisman appeared in their hands. When they crushed it, a spiritual lustre enveloped them and their silhouettes swiftly disappeared.
