Due to a single sentence from Ling Xi, Mu Chen's life became extremely miserable for the next five days. A total of thirty Rank 4 Spiritual Arrays tortured him to the point of hovering between life and death, causing him to be battered and exhausted.
However, it was fortunate that after a period of devilish training, Mu Chen had developed some resistance towards it. Therefore, after failing the thirty Spiritual Arrays devilish training for three consecutive days, Mu Chen was finally able to barely endure it on the fourth day. However, the price he had to pay was that he fainted from exhaustion the moment he exited the arrays. Afterwards, it was Sun 'er who dragged him back to the new student area.
On the fifth day, Mu Chen rested for an entire day, before he was able to recover. However, there was still some lingering fear in his heart. Thirty Rank 4 Spiritual Arrays, even if it was only for training purposes, was more than enough to cause many Heavenly Completion Stage people to turn pale.
Of course, passing this training did not mean that Mu Chen would be able to resist thirty Rank 4 Spiritual Arrays in a duel. After all, training was different from actual combat. Opponents in actual combat would not directly arrange Spiritual Arrays, and not control them, allowing one to explore their patterns.
However, the training was not completely useless. The current Mu Chen believed that if he were to encounter one or two Rank 4 Spiritual Arrays, he would definitely be able to break them effortlessly. Furthermore, there would not be any exhaustion on his body.
Compared to half a month ago, his understanding of Spiritual Arrays had undoubtedly become much more refined.
The fifth day was used by Mu Chen to recuperate. Only on the second day, did he return to the Spirit Stream Little Courtyard.
When Mu Chen walked into the small courtyard, he saw a girl in a snow-white dress sitting on a bamboo platform in front of the verdant bamboo house. Her white hands supported her cheeks as her beautiful eyes stared at the ground. There wasn't any focus in her line of sight on her beautiful face.
There was a faint blankness on her beautiful face. This blankness covered up her original indifference, causing her to have an additional gentleness and beauty.
Ling Xi's appearance was already extremely beautiful. However, her usual indifference that pushed people a thousand miles away caused Mu Chen to not dare to say anything in front of her. It was rare to see the latter in such a state, causing him to be somewhat dazed for a time.
While Mu Chen was in a daze, Ling Xi had also sensed his arrival, causing her beautiful eyes to immediately converge over.
Her beautiful eyes immediately focused on him, once again returning to her usual frosty appearance.
"Big brother Mu Chen, you've come?
Are your injuries all healed? "
Su 'er's little head popped out from within the bamboo house. Upon seeing Mu Chen's appearance, her little face was filled with joy.
Mu Chen smiled at Sun 'er.
Then, he cupped his hands towards Ling Xi and greeted her.
Shooting a look at Mu Chen, Ling Xi said in an indifferent tone, "I have to tell you beforehand that the Spiritual Array House is extremely dangerous. Although your usual training will cause you to suffer serious injuries, it is, after all, within the limits of what you can endure. However, once you enter the Spiritual Array House, it will be different.
If you're not careful, you'll lose your life there, and at that time, I won't help you.
"Heart of a careless mistake and your life will be to Spirit.
"Ling" and "and" Ling Chen's expectations. "Mu to Mu Chen 'Ling Of Xi to" to "to"
Ling Xi mercilessly shattered Mu Chen's expectations.
"Do you think it's possible?"
Mu Chen smiled bitterly.
"You've already touched the state of Heart's Eye, but you've been unable to open it.
It's only because you're missing the last step. That step can only be broken through when you're on the brink of life and death. Although your usual training is dangerous, it's not to that extent. "Ling Xi's voice was cold.
"Of course, you can choose not to. However, I will give you half a month at most. If you're still unable to open Heart's Eye by then, my guidance will end." Ling Xi's tone did not fluctuate much, nor did it contain much emotion.
She had a cold personality and did not have any relationship with Mu Chen. If not for Dean Tai Cang and Sun 'er, she would not even care about Mu Chen. Now that she had helped him for half a month, she believed that she had already done her best.
Mu Chen understood her personality, so he did not feel angry. After pondering for a moment, he heavily nodded his head.
"I choose to enter the Spiritual Array House."
He was similarly able to feel that he seemed to be lacking that step. No matter how much training he underwent, that step would be extremely difficult to cross. Perhaps it was as Ling Xi had said, he needed the stimulation of life and death to truly open Heart's Eye.
Although he knew that it might be extremely dangerous, something like courage was something that Mu Chen did not lack. If he was overly cautious, Mu Chen might have already collapsed in the Spiritual Road, and it would have been even more impossible for him to reach where he was today.
Mu Chen's choice caused Ling Xi to take another look at him. Soon after, she nodded her head with an indifferent expression on her beautiful face, before turning around and leaving.
"Follow me."
Mu Chen immediately followed after her, with Su 'er also hastily following behind. Nevertheless, her little face was brimming with worry and worry. She was extremely clear about how frightening the Spiritual Array House was. Once a problem occurred in that place, one's life would indeed be in danger.
Passing through the secluded courtyard, the three of them arrived at the deepest region. This place appeared exceedingly spacious and empty, with only a dilapidated stone house in front of them. The stone house was covered in moss, giving people a feeling that it had experienced the vicissitudes of time.
Stopping before the stone house, Ling Xi formed a seal with her jade-like hands. In the next instant, a ray of Spiritual Energy shot out, enveloping the dilapidated stone house.
Humm Humm!
As the ray of light enveloped it, the stone house started to tremble, before rapidly expanding under Mu Chen's astonished gaze. In the short span of a few breaths, the stone house had transformed into a gigantic stone hall. Around the stone hall, one could faintly see mysterious patterns sparkling with a faint radiance.
"This is …" Staring at the stone hall, Mu Chen's gaze faintly flickered, while thick astonishment gushed out from within his eyes. "This is a Spiritual Artifact?"
Above the stone hall, Mu Chen was able to sense the unique fluctuations that only Spiritual Artifacts possessed.
"Hehe, this Spiritual Array House isn't an ordinary Spiritual Artifact. According to elder sister Ling Xi, it was once a Quasi-Divine Artifact. However, it's now shattered, causing its grade to fall, becoming a Peerless Rank Spiritual Artifact. Even so, there are some extremely powerful Spiritual Arrays hidden within it. Even if a Sovereign were to fall into it, they would be trapped, unable to escape," said Sun 'er with a grin.
"Quasi-Divine Artifact?"
Mu Chen could not help but suck in a breath of cold air as he looked at Ling Xi's beautiful figure with a strange gaze. Exactly what kind of background did she have?
She was actually in possession of a Quasi-Divine Artifact that would cause even Sovereign experts to be moved. Amongst the numerous elders of Hokuang Reiwon, even Heavenly Seated Elders like Mo You and Zhu Tian would not possess a Quasi-Divine Artifact.
Furthermore, what kind of frightening figure would be able to cause a Quasi-Divine Artifact to fall in grade and become a Peerless Rank Spiritual Artifact?
Mu Chen secretly smacked his lips. This Ling Xi was truly becoming more and more mysterious.
Ling Xi did not pay any attention to the two people behind her. At this moment, she was blankly staring at the shattered stone hall, while a vacant expression flashed within her beautiful eyes. After a long while, she gave a faint sigh. With a wave of her white hand, the tightly shut stone door started to slowly open, while rumbling sounds rang out from within. Instantly, boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuations swept out from within.
"Prepare to enter. I will only open the first level of the Spiritual Array House. However, even so, it's more than enough to kill you. Therefore, gather all of your concentration. Even if you face death, I will not take action to save you. You can only rely on your own strength for everything," said Ling Xi in an indifferent tone.
Taking a deep breath, a solemn expression appeared on Mu Chen's face. Faced against a frightening object that could even trap a Sovereign, as long as he was the slightest bit distracted, he might be completely obliterated.
However, at this moment, even if it was a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, he still had to give it a try.
Resolutely taking a step forward, Mu Chen walked straight into the opened stone door. As the Spiritual Energy radiance erupted, it slowly devoured his body.
Rumble.
Following Mu Chen's entrance, the stone door once again gave off a low and deep sound, before slowly closing up. In the end, the brilliance that blotted the skies retracted back into the stone door.
Tightly clenching her small hands, Su 'er looked at the tightly shut stone door, before sneaking a look at Ling Xi, whose beautiful face was filled with indifference. Saying in a soft voice, she said, "Big sis Ling Xi, if big brother Mu Chen really can't hold on any longer, you'll definitely save him, right?"
Ling Xi glanced at her. Her tone did not fluctuate much as she said, "He should be responsible for his own choices. If he is blindly reckless, then even if he loses his little life, he deserves it. If he is only at this level, no matter what happens, I won't feel any pity."
Hearing Ling Xi's cold words, Su 'er's big eyes uncontrollably turned red as she said, "Big sis Ling Xi, you're clearly very kind-hearted … why must you be like this, it's so scary."
Looking at Su 'er's reddened eyes, Ling Xi's gaze became much more complicated. Pulling the little girl into her embrace, she muttered, "Perhaps I was like that in the past. That's why I'm rejecting that feeling now. Being a little colder, a little more heartless, seems to be able to better protect myself …"
…
When Mu Chen's body was enveloped by the surging Spiritual Energy, he could clearly feel the space around him changing. When he was completely clear-headed, he discovered that he seemed to be in an endless starry sky.
Within the starry sky, the river of stars was boundless, causing people to feel a sense of dread.
As Mu Chen stood within the starry sky, a feeling of danger gradually surged within his heart. Raising his head, he saw that the starry sky around him had started to change. Stars howled as they condensed and took shape in the sky above him. Layer after layer stacked on top of each other, starlight filled the air, faintly appearing to form a gigantic Spiritual Array.
Formed from stars, boundless Spiritual Energy radiated from the Spiritual Array. The Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating from it were even more tyrannical than the "Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array" that Mu Chen had displayed.
Mu Chen's expression slightly changed. This Spiritual Array had already reached the level of Rank 5. Even people at the Heavenly Completion Stage Middle Phase would not dare to take on its edge.
This Spiritual Array House was indeed extremely dangerous!
Would he really be able to charge through it?
Mu Chen's expression turned solemn, not daring to be certain in his heart.
(Due to participating in an event in Chengdu, I didn't have much time, causing me to be unable to write an update. I apologize once again, I hope everyone can forgive me.
I'll be returning home tomorrow, so I'll be able to maintain my updates. I've already uploaded one update yesterday and today, so I'm already missing two updates. I'll definitely make up for it before the 10th.
Thank you for your understanding.)
