Dazzling and resplendent Spiritual Energy was akin to a pillar that supported the heavens as it rushed towards the horizon from the depths of the mountain, before connecting with the gigantic whirlpool. Due to the boundless and boundless Spiritual Energy, the skies of this region had turned somewhat misty, causing people to be unable to clearly see what was happening within.
Clearly, this place had become the place that attracted the most attention in Hokuang Reiwon during this period of time.
Countless students would look towards that direction every single day, with curiosity and anticipation present within their eyes. Within these ten days, the agreement between Mu Chen and Dean Tai Cang had already unknowingly spread throughout the entire Hokuang Reiwon.
Everyone knew that once Mu Chen broke through to Heavenly Completion Stage within a month, he might be allowed to participate in the opening of the "Divine Spiritual Mountain" in the Northern Heavens Continent. With regards to this, quite a few of the seniors in Hokuang Reiwon weren't unfamiliar with it, as this was considered to be a stumbling block within the hearts of the entire Hokuang Reiwon. After all, being the genuine leviathan of the Northern Heavens Continent, Hokuang Reiwon wasn't even able to participate in this grand event that was held at the apex of the younger generation in the Northern Heavens Continent. From a certain perspective, this had caused the face of their Hokuang Reiwon to become somewhat ugly. There were also some rumours and gossips regarding this matter in the outside world, causing many students to feel indignant within their hearts. Those were just some geniuses that had been nurtured by the resources of their sects and clans. If they really wanted to compare, why didn't they compare to those magnates that had obtained illustrious fame and prestige after leaving Hokuang Reiwon?
How many Sovereigns had walked out from their Hokuang Reiwon?
Furthermore, they were extremely dazzling within the Great Thousand World. As for those influences, how many had they managed to nurture?
If those Sovereigns that had walked out from the Northern Heavens Continent were counted as Hokuang Reiwon, the entire Northern Heavens Continent might tremble and tremble in fear.
Therefore, with regards to Mu Chen wanting to participate in the "Divine Spiritual Mountain", the overwhelming majority of the students seemed to have a supportive attitude towards him. Naturally, there was also a small portion of absolutely rational people that suspected whether Mu Chen was just messing around. After all, even if he had broken through to Heavenly Completion Stage, there was still quite a bit of disparity between him and those elite members of the younger generation within the Northern Heavens Continent.
Those pinnacle members of the younger generation were even harder to deal with than Mo Longzi.
Of course, no matter what, almost the entire Hokuang Reiwon was watching the depths of the mountains. They all wanted to know whether this youth, who had been charging forward without stopping since he entered the Hokuang Reiwon, would be able to soar into the sky again.
As he waited, another three Ri passed.
There were only two days left before the one-month deadline!
Freshman area.
The public square that faced the lake was the usual training area for the members of the Goddess Luo Association. However, at this moment, although it was filled with figures, the majority of them weren't in the mood to train. Instead, they had all raised their heads, casting their gazes towards the direction where the gigantic glowing Spiritual Energy pillar was rushing towards the sky.
In the last two days, there wasn't the slightest bit of movement from Mu Chen, nor was there any signs of a breakthrough.
This caused quite a few members of the Goddess Luo Association to break out in cold sweat within their hearts. At this moment, all of the students within the Hokuang Reiwon were paying close attention to this matter. Although it wouldn't cause any damage to Mu Chen's reputation if he was unable to break through to Heavenly Completion Stage within the one-month deadline, it would still cause some people to feel slightly disappointed. After all, they had held too much expectations for him.
"Luo Li, there's only two days left. Can Mu Chen succeed?"
In the middle of the public square, Ye Qingling couldn't help clenching her jade-like hands as she looked towards the girl in black, who had a calm expression on her face from the beginning to the end.
With a faint smile, Luo Li replied, "It doesn't matter if he succeeds or not. Cultivation isn't something that can be forced out."
Truthfully speaking, Luo Li was somewhat dissatisfied with the one-month deadline that Dean Tai Cang had set for Mu Chen. The reason why Mu Chen had wavered previously was due to him being forced a little too hastily. Furthermore, ever since he had entered Hokuang Reiwon, his mental state had become unstable. Therefore, a mess had nearly occurred. Regardless of that, from her point of view, Dean Tai Cang had to bear some responsibility for this matter.
Although Luo Li understood that after experiencing this matter, Mu Chen's mental state would be stabilized, she was still a young girl in her teens. Furthermore, she was a girl who was worried about the person she liked. How could she maintain absolute rationality when looking at this matter? Therefore, her emotions were still due to the fact that she had to protect the person she liked.
"However, others might not think the same way." Ye Qingling replied helplessly.
"Cultivation is one's own matter. There's no need to care about the opinions of others."
Luo Li smiled as she continued, "Furthermore, isn't there still two more days? Before the final moment arrives, don't come to a conclusion so easily."
"That's the only way." Ye Qingling lightly sighed.
Time quietly passed under the gazes of the tens of thousands of people in Hokuang Reiwon. Another day passed by. Everyone could feel that the atmosphere in Hokuang Reiwon was somewhat stifling. Even when they were cultivating, there would be gazes shooting towards the towering Spiritual Energy light pillar. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the final day.
The final day arrived just as everyone had been waiting for.
The blazing sun shone across the horizon as warm sunlight shone down on every corner of Hokuang Reiwon. Today, the majority of the students in Hokuang Reiwon had stopped their cultivation. They all wanted to see if there would be any miracles that would appear on this final day.
On the quiet mountain peak, Ling Xi sat on the stairs before the bamboo house. Her jade-like hands supported her cheeks as her black hair draped down. Her beautiful eyes were focused on the gigantic Spiritual Energy light pillar in the distance.
Sitting beside her, Su 'er's ponytail swayed as a worried expression appeared on her small face. "Elder Sister Ling Xi, will Big Brother Mu Chen succeed?"
With a faint smile, Ling Xi rubbed her small face. Shaking her head, she replied, "I don't know either."
The Spiritual Energy there was too thick and dense, concealing all of Mu Chen's fluctuations. Even Ling Xi was unable to sense the latter's current situation.
Su 'er's jet-black eyes looked at the blazing sun that was slowly descending. Clasping her small hands together, she prayed for the sun to set longer.
However, the naive prayer of the little girl clearly had no effect. The intense sun continued to descend at a speed that was neither fast nor slow. Noon quietly turned into dusk. The afterglow of the setting sun caused the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy to be covered with a thin layer of red light.
However, there was still no movement from within the gigantic Spiritual Energy light pillar.
Looking at the setting sun that was about to descend into the horizon, countless students finally sighed in their hearts. Looks like this time, their Hokuang Reiwon still had no fate with the pinnacle event of the younger generation in the Northern Heavens Continent.
The setting sun was gradually covered by the horizon. When the sun completely disappeared from the earth, the heavens and earth turned dark.
"Sigh."
Within the dark heavens and earth, someone seemed to sigh. Shrugging their shoulders, countless students prepared to disperse and end the ten days of observation.
Bang!
It was also at this instant that a deep noise suddenly resounded between the heavens and earth. A massive Spiritual Energy ripple seemed to have appeared on the horizon as it swept out in all directions like a tidal wave.
Whoosh!
Countless people fiercely raised their heads, their eyes filled with shock as they looked towards the depths of the mountains. Intense ripples had unexpectedly appeared on the gigantic Spiritual Energy light pillar. The Spiritual Energy that was spreading out grew increasingly majestic and violent.
"There's movement!"
Astonishing cheers instantly erupted from the Freshman Area, with the faces of many Goddess Luo Association members brimming with excitement.
Luo Li had also raised her clear and limpid eyes as she quietly looked at the light pillar that was surging with powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations. Her jade-like hands quietly clenched tightly within her sleeves.
On a mountain peak, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong were also looking at this spectacle with shock in their eyes.
On a small island within a lake, the two sisters, Su Xuan and Su Ling 'er, stood prettily. Ripples appeared within their beautiful eyes as they looked towards the Spiritual Energy light pillar that was fluctuating in the distance.
In other places, He Yao, Xu Huang, Zhao Qingshan and the other extremely famous influential figures of Hokuang Reiwon had also focused their gazes over at this moment, while their expressions were filled with shock.
Bang!
Bang!
The gigantic Spiritual Energy waves grew more violent and violent with each wave. In the end, they were akin to the howling of a flood, wreaking havoc across the heavens and earth. Dazzling rays of brilliance caused the originally dark heavens and earth to regain its brightness.
Just as the Spiritual Energy waves were rampaging to their limits, a clear roar suddenly rang out from the depths of the mountains, akin to the roar of a tiger or a dragon!
The roar reverberated out, containing extremely powerful Spiritual Energy within it.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, the glowing Spiritual Energy light pillar started to violently tremble. Everyone could see a dazzling ray of brilliance explosively rushing out from the bottom of the light pillar, before appearing high up in the sky.
Bang!
All of a sudden, the glowing Spiritual Energy light pillar exploded apart, transforming into specks of light that blotted the skies. Within the specks of light that blotted the skies, a foot-long ray of brilliance surfaced. Within that ray of brilliance was a little person made of light sitting in the air. That little person was vivid and lifelike, appearing exactly the same as Mu Chen. Impressively, that was his Spirit.
However, at this moment, his Spirit appeared exceedingly condensed, appearing seemingly no different from a physical body. From head to toe, a powerful feeling radiated from it.
At this moment, the seated Spirit slowly opened its eyes. Its pair of eyes appeared as deep and abstruse as the stars in the sky. Rays of brilliance surged within them, sparkling with a myriad of stars, appearing exceedingly profound.
Raising its small hand, it opened its mouth and sucked. At this moment, the specks of Spiritual Energy that blotted the skies unexpectedly transformed into streams of light, before being cleanly sucked away by the tiny Spirit.
The rays of brilliance surrounding the Spirit grew increasingly condensed, with specks of golden brilliance appearing on the surface of the Spirit. Compared to before, it was undoubtedly much more condensed.
Whoosh!
Furiously rushing towards the skies, the Spirit transformed into a ray of brilliance that shot straight towards the nine heavens. Astral winds swept out, but were unable to cause much damage to it, as if it possessed the ability to connect the heavens and earth.
At the sight of this, ear-splitting cheers erupted from the entire Hokuang Reiwon. They were extremely clear that the Spirit had separated itself from the physical body, and was able to roam between the heavens and earth without being destroyed. This was the Heavenly Connection!
Clearly, Mu Chen had truly broken through to the final stage of the Three Heavens Stage, the Heavenly Connection Stage!
(Apologies, I'm two hours late.
Today, I'll make up for the last one that I owe.
Ever since returning, I've been rushing to write. Everyone, let's console him ~ ~ ~ ~)
