The crystal pagoda that quietly hovered on the peak suddenly radiated with light before the pagoda trembled and two silhouettes flew out and landed on the peak. It was Mu Chen and the Profound Sky Ancestor.
Huff!
Seeing the light again, the Profound Sky Ancestor couldn't help greedily sucking in a mouthful of air that was filled with Spiritual Energy. It wasn't easy being suppressed in the pagoda.
"Elder Profound Sky, we can be considered a family from now on, so please take care of me." Mu Chen chuckled as he looked at the Profound Sky Ancestor and cupped his fists.
The Profound Sky Ancestor dryly smiled, but he felt depressed in his heart. He thought that it would be an easy task, but he never expected that not only would he fail, he would even become a prisoner of Mu Chen. Furthermore, he was even threatened by the latter to become an Elder of the Mu Abode.
Although it was only a short period of thirty years, it was a depressing matter for any Heavenly Sovereign to have their freedom restricted. One must know that with his status, not to mention the Mu Abode, even those top-tiered forces in the Great Thousand World would be able to rise to the upper echelons, and they would be given great rewards.
But now that she had fallen into Mu Chen's hands, she could forget about the huge remuneration. She could only obediently work as a laborer for thirty years.
This was something that the two of them had sworn in the pagoda. It might not be a problem for others, but it was extremely important for Heavenly Sovereigns. If they went back on their words, they would be going against their own hearts, which would leave a hidden danger in the depths of their hearts that would greatly affect their future cultivation.
Thus, Mu Chen wasn't worried that the Profound Sky Ancestor would run away, and the Profound Sky Ancestor wasn't worried that Mu Chen would go back on his words after thirty years.
"I wonder if Elder Profound Sky can help me?" Mu Chen sat down on the peak and said in a gentle tone.
Glancing at him, the Profound Sky Ancestor replied, "You're talking about the perfected Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Physique, right?"
Mu Chen nodded his head. When he fought with the Profound Sky Ancestor, he already knew how to perfect his Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Physique. However, there were some details that he had to ask to prevent any mistakes.
The Profound Sky Ancestor also sat down. After a brief pondering, he did not refuse, since it wasn't a huge secret. Even if he didn't say it, Mu Chen could find out about it through other channels.
"I believe that you already know how to perfect your Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Physique." The Profound Sky Ancestor waved his sleeve. "The Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Physique is the symbol of a Heavenly Sovereign. The body can be turned into the purest Spiritual Physique at any time, possessing extraordinary fighting power. At the same time, it can be fused with the Spiritual Energy in the body.
"However, this is only the initial stage of a Heavenly Venerate Spirit Body. Only by refining the Spirit Vein hidden in the deepest part of the body and completely merging it with the Heavenly Venerate Spirit Body, will the Heavenly Venerate Spirit Body gradually reach perfection."
"Not only is the perfected Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Physique more wondrous, but it will also form a Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability."
"Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability?"
Mu Chen squinted his eyes. "I believe that the starry diagram that Elder Profound Sky used is the Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability, right?"
When he fought with the Profound Sky Ancestor, the Profound Sky Ancestor had relied on this move to withstand the ferocious attacks of his two clones for a long time. His defensive power was truly shocking.
"In terms of defense, even an ordinary Peerless Divine Ability can't compare to my Cyclic Stars Diagram. If it wasn't you, it wouldn't be so easy to break it if it was someone else of the same level."
As he spoke, the Profound Sky Ancestor looked at Mu Chen with a weird gaze. He must be feeling unlucky to encounter such a monster.
The Three Pures was one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities in the Great Thousand World, and even a Saint Heavenly Sovereign would be tempted by it. However, this Divine Ability had fallen into the hands of Mu Chen, so one could only imagine how envious it was.
With a smile, Mu Chen asked, "Is there a pattern to the evolution of the Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability?"
"The evolution of the Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability is mostly related to one's cultivation technique."
The Profound Sky Ancestor continued, "As for the grade of the Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability, it depends on the strength of the Spiritual Pulse in one's body."
"Oh?" Mu Chen looked at the Profound Sky Ancestor and asked for guidance.
"I believe that you should know that Spiritual Pulses are separated into Heaven, Earth, and Human Grades when you started cultivating. But rumour has it that there's a rare Spiritual Pulse above the Heaven Spiritual Pulse, known as the Divine Pulse, and only one in a hundred million can possess it.
"Although the forms of the Spiritual Veins are different, they are all differentiated by quantity. One to nine are the Spiritual Veins of the Human Level, three to four are the Earth Level, five to six are the Heaven Level, and seven to nine are the Divine Veins."
"Back then, when I refined the Spiritual Pulse, it turned into six stars, the Heaven Pulse."
The Profound Sky Ancestor sighed with unconcealable envy in his voice as he continued, "It's said that the Spiritual Pulse Divine Abilities derived from the Divine Pulse can be considered as top-tiered Peerless Divine Abilities. It might even be comparable to the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities."
Hearing those words, Mu Chen's expression turned grave. He possessed the Three Pures and Eight-Divisional Pagoda, so he naturally knew how terrifying and profound the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities were. With those Peerless Divine Abilities, it's practically unbeatable amongst those on the same level.
However, Mu Chen also knew how rare the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities were. If it wasn't for his luck, it would be as difficult as ascending the heavens for him to obtain even one of them.
But at this moment, the Profound Sky Ancestor had said that the Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability derived from the Divine Pulse was comparable to the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities. How could he not be shocked?
"Divine Spiritual Vein?"
Mu Chen muttered to himself as a peculiar lustre flickered within his pitch-black pupils. In fact, ever since he had started cultivating, he wasn't too clear about what kind of Spiritual Pulse he possessed. That's because his Spiritual Pulse seemed to have been hidden extremely deeply, to the point that even he himself wasn't able to sense it. However, even though Ji Xuan possessed a Heaven Rank Spiritual Pulse, Mu Chen didn't feel that a Heaven Rank Spiritual Pulse was that powerful before him.
"At this stage, the Spiritual Pulse in my body shouldn't be able to hide from my senses anymore."
Mu Chen lightly inhaled a mouthful of air. No matter how deep this Spiritual Vein was hidden, he would definitely investigate it thoroughly this time.
"I'll have to trouble Elder Profound Sky to protect me for this period of time." Mu Chen smiled towards the Profound Sky Ancestor.
Now that the Mu Abode's matters had gradually calmed down, he could make use of this time to cultivate his Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Physique to perfection.
That's because he would be heading to the Ancient Buddha Clan soon, and there would definitely be a huge battle. Thus, he had to grasp and stabilize his strength before that.
Hearing Mu Chen's words, the Profound Sky Ancestor helplessly sighed. This Abode Ruler was truly impolite to order him around.
But in the end, he still nodded his head and his silhouette moved. He sat down a hundred feet away and took a deep breath before his expression changed. He had clearly sensed the pure and dense Spiritual Energy in the Ancient Haven Palace.
"This must be the Ancient Haven Palace. It's truly worthy of being created by the Heavenly Emperor."
The Profound Sky Ancestor inwardly nodded his head. With his shrewd insight, he could tell that even the ordinary forces in the Great Thousand World wouldn't be able to take out such a cultivation ground. Only the pinnacle forces would have such a foundation and ability.
Cultivating in this place was beneficial to a Heavenly Sovereign like him. Thus, it looked like it wasn't a loss for him to be an Elder of the Mu Abode for thirty years.
Seeing this, Mu Chen smiled as he gradually closed his eyes.
As he focused his mind, he felt as though his body was sparkling and translucent. His flesh, bones and meridians seemed to possess some sort of life force. As he breathed, his body was brimming with vitality.
Mu Chen's consciousness probed the depths of his body. At this level, he still couldn't sense the existence of the Spiritual Pulse.
His consciousness sank down, as if he was traversing through layers of space to sense the Spiritual Pulse. But in the beginning, he didn't discover anything. However, Mu Chen wasn't disappointed and continued to sense with his heart as calm as still water.
This lasted for an hour before Mu Chen's consciousness suddenly moved. It was as if he had broken through a barrier. The scene before him changed and Mu Chen's consciousness appeared in an unknown space.
This space was chaotic, as if it was shrouded in a mysterious mist that obstructed all senses.
"This mist?"
When Mu Chen's consciousness sensed the mist, his heart trembled. He could sense that the mist was purposely concealed by someone.
Someone actually did something to his body?
In the beginning, Mu Chen's heart trembled, but he soon calmed down. To achieve this, it had to be done before there was any Spiritual Energy in his body. Thus, he could infer that his mother must have done something to conceal the Spiritual Pulse in his body when he was born.
The reason why his mother did this was obvious. She wanted to obstruct the Ancient Buddha Clan from using any means to search for him.
Thus, it could be considered as his mother's painstaking effort.
"Thank you, Mother."
Mu Chen's consciousness muttered with warmth in his heart.
"But I am no longer an infant. Even if the mist disperses, no one can do anything to me."
As if it had heard Mu Chen's voice, the mysterious mist started to tremble and started to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the mist dissipated, light started to blossom within the primal chaos. In the depths of the primal chaos, a lustre suddenly appeared and gradually formed into a crescent purple moon under Mu Chen's attention.
"A crescent moon?"
Mu Chen's heart trembled. According to what the Profound Sky Ancestor had said, it was numbered from one to nine. Wouldn't that be the lowest Human Spiritual Pulse?
Just when Mu Chen was feeling bewildered, a lustre started to condense around the purple moon. In the next instant, more purple moons started to appear, one after another.
In just a few breaths' time, there were eight crescent moons that hung high in the sky, emanating a mysterious lustre.
Just as the eight purple moons appeared in the depths of Mu Chen's body, a lustrous lustre blossomed on the surface of his skin. Eight dazzling moon runes were engraved on his skin.
A powerful aura instantly spread out.
When the Profound Sky Ancestor saw this scene, his eyes narrowed and he couldn't help exclaiming, "The eight crescent moons?!"
"That brat actually has a Divine Spiritual Pulse?!"
