Rumble!
The Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth surged out akin to ocean waves. The low and deep rumbles seemed to be unable to endure, causing intense distortions to appear in the surrounding space. As the space warped and distorted, the gigantic mountain that seemed to be isolated within the shattered space started to grow clearer and clearer.
At the same time, a peculiar pressure that seemed to have been left behind from ancient times quietly rippled out. This pressure was something that the majority of the people present were unable to detect. Only existences like Dean Tai Cang, who had stepped into the realm of Sovereigns, felt a slight shiver run through their eyes, while fear and dread appeared in their hearts.
Although this pressure had weakened by quite a bit over the passage of time, it still possessed a suppressive effect towards them. That's because it was left behind by a Heavenly Sovereign after his death.
Heavenly Sovereigns were the emperors amongst Sovereigns. To Dean Tai Cang and the rest, that level of existence was truly too powerful. Naturally, even within the Great Thousand World, where tens of thousands of planes converged, a Heavenly Sovereign was still an existence that stood at the apex. Countless Sovereigns would prostrate themselves in worship towards them.
Heavenly Sovereigns were people that could genuinely guard over a region of the world, and could even control a plane.
Naturally, Mu Chen and the rest were unable to detect this pressure. Although they could faintly feel some discomfort, they weren't too affected by it.
Staring at the distorted space, Mu Chen waited for the opening of the Divine Spiritual Mountain.
While he was quietly waiting, a fragrant breeze approached him. Turning his head around, he saw Xia Youran walking over to his side. At this moment, the latter was still clad in her fiery red soft armour, her skin akin to snow, her voluptuous and graceful figure, attracting quite a few gazes.
"Mu Chen, be careful after entering the Divine Spiritual Mountain, especially the spatial currents and spatial gales." Sending a radiant and enchanting smile towards Mu Chen, Xia Youran proceeded to give a reminder.
"Spatial currents?
Spatial gales? "
Hearing her words, Mu Chen slightly gawked. Since he didn't have the slightest bit of understanding towards the Divine Spiritual Mountain, he clearly didn't know about such things.
"The location of the Divine Spiritual Mountain is a shattered piece of space. Outside of this shattered space is an extremely frightening spatial current. Once you're sucked into it, you'll undoubtedly die."
With a solemn expression on her lovable face, Xia Youran continued, "As for the spatial gales, they fill up the surroundings of the Divine Spiritual Mountain. The closer you get to the central region, the more powerful the spatial gales become. Once you're unable to endure it, you'll be blown into the currents of the spatial gales, and be annihilated into ashes.
"These are the two most dangerous things that come with the Divine Spiritual Mountain. Who knows how many experts have died because of them."
"Thank you for reminding me, Senior Sister Xia. I got it." Mu Chen nodded gratefully.
In a soft voice, Xia Youran continued, "Furthermore, you'll have to be careful of other people. There's an unknown amount of experts participating in the Divine Spiritual Mountain. However, the Divine Spiritual Baptism is, in fact, only a handful of people are able to complete it. Therefore, everyone that's able to enter the Divine Spiritual Mountain are, in fact, competitors. Once there's an opportunity, there might be people that would immediately try to kill you."
"After entering the Divine Spiritual Mountain Range, you'll follow me. I'll bring you to the location of the baptism. With you by my side, that Mo Xingtian should have some fear and dread, and not be too arrogant. However, as for whether or not you're able to obtain the Divine Spiritual Baptism, it'll truly depend on your own ability."
Shooting a look towards the direction of Mo Xingtian, a sliver of fear and dread flashed within Xia Youran's beautiful eyes. Nevertheless, she still spoke out in a soft voice.
With a smile, Mu Chen's impression of Xia Youran increased by quite a bit. He was extremely clear about how formidable Mo Xingtian was. Although Xia Youran could be considered as one of the top figures within the younger generation of the Northern Heavens Continent, if she were to truly face off against Mo Xingtian, she might feel extreme fear and dread. However, at this moment, for his sake, it wasn't easy for her to make such a decision.
After all, no one would like to offend such a frightening opponent for no reason.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister Xia. If I feel that I can't do it, I'll immediately back out. I won't drag you down," replied Mu Chen.
Never did Xia Youran imagine that Mu Chen would be so straightforward. Giving a sweet smile, she extended her jade-like hand and patted Mu Chen's shoulder, before saying, "Don't worry. Elder Sister Ling Xi has once saved me. It's rare to see her so concerned about a male. No matter what, I'll definitely protect you."
With a smile, Mu Chen didn't say anything else, only nodding his head in thanks.
As Mu Chen and Xia Youran were chatting and laughing while waiting for the opening of the Divine Spiritual Mountain, they didn't notice a slightly cold gaze shooting towards them from the distance. The owner of that gaze was precisely the Young Master of the Umbra Chamber of Commerce, Liu Ying.
Looking at the intimate actions between Xia Youran and Mu Chen, a dark gloom appeared within his eyes, while the corner of his mouth started to faintly twitch. Standing beside him, the Young Master of the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce, Dong Yuan, gave a faint smile. He knew that Liu Ying was a fellow with extremely strong possessiveness. Although he hadn't made any progress in wooing Xia Youran for the past two years, he still viewed her as his exclusive property. Now that he had seen such an intimate relationship between Mu Chen and Xia Youran, he was already itching to tear Mu Chen into a thousand pieces.
"Don't be anxious. Once we enter the Divine Spiritual Mountain, that brat won't be able to run away even if he wants to," said Dong Yuan with a grin.
"I don't have the time to waste on a brat like him."
Hearing those words, although Liu Ying's eyes still remained dark, an indifferent smile appeared on his face. He wasn't a person who couldn't differentiate between right and wrong. Although he was extremely enraged by the fact that Mu Chen had dared to get close to Xia Youran, no!
He knew that the most important thing to do upon entering the Divine Spiritual Mountain was to obtain the Divine Spiritual Baptism. How could he possibly waste his precious time on Mu Chen?
"Naturally, if we really bump into each other by chance, I don't mind dealing with him while I'm at it."
As Liu Ying's fingers moved, a dark shadow appeared to surface at his fingertips, while the smile at the corner of his mouth appeared somewhat cold.
Dong Yuan's face was brimming with a smile. Although Mu Chen appeared to only be at the Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase, he might not be that simple. At that time, if Liu Ying were to fight with him, even if the latter was able to emerge victorious, he might have to pay a price. Naturally, such a scene was something that Dong Yuan would be extremely happy to see.
Rumble!
Just as Liu Ying's gaze turned dark, intense rumbling sounds suddenly rang out from the vast and mighty ocean of Spiritual Energy, while the spatial distortions grew increasingly intense. In the next instant, everyone was pleasantly surprised to see that the space there had unexpectedly started to slowly split apart.
As the spatial crack extended out, a majestic mountain range that stretched as far as the eye could see, brought along a gigantic shadow as it forcefully pierced out from the spatial crack. A gigantic mountain extended out from the spatial crack, before appearing in this stretch of the world. From afar, it appeared just like a mountain range hovering between the heavens and the earth.
However, such a gigantic mountain range was just an unremarkable corner of the Divine Spiritual Mountain Range.
Huff!
As a small section of the mountain extended out from the spatial crack, ferocious spatial gales instantly blew out. As the gales blew, they brought along rather fierce energies, appearing as though even the Spiritual Energy of the world was being shredded apart.
However, at this moment, no one paid any attention to this, as everyone's eyes were scarlet-red as they looked towards the majestic mountain range that had appeared behind the spatial crack. That was a mountain range that was hidden within space. However, from where they were, only the tip of the iceberg could be seen. From this, one could see how frightening the scale of the Divine Spiritual Mountain Range was. Its surface area might not be any smaller than the gigantic Divine Spiritual Region.
The Divine Spiritual Mountain had finally appeared at this moment!
At this moment, the atmosphere in this stretch of the world seemed to freeze.
Whoosh!
However, this freeze only lasted for an instant, before it was abruptly broken apart. In the next instant, figures that hid the skies and covered the earth instantly shot out, while hurried whooshing sounds rang out akin to thunder.
"Let's go!"
"The Divine Spiritual Mountain has opened!"
"That Divine Spiritual Baptism is mine!"
"Haha! Who the hell do you think you are, to dare to take a share of the Divine Spiritual Baptism?!"
Incomparably excited roars resounded out, causing the entire stretch of the world to turn into complete chaos.
"Mu Chen, let's get moving."
Looking at the figures rushing into the Divine Spiritual Mountain like a swarm of locusts, Xia Youran spoke out impatiently.
Nodding his head, Mu Chen turned around to look at Luo Li, Ling Xi, as well as Dean Tai Cang, before saying with a smile, "Then, I'll be heading in."
"Be careful." warned Luo Li and Ling Xi.
"If you encounter an extremely dangerous situation, shatter the jade talisman I gave you. I'll save you."
Said Dean Tai Cang with a grave expression on his face. Although he would have to pay a price if he wanted to force his way into the Divine Spiritual Mountain, he couldn't just watch as Mu Chen died. That would be a huge blow to their Hokuang Reiwon.
Gently nodding his head, Mu Chen did not say anything else. He knew about the uniqueness of the Divine Spiritual Mountain. Even with Dean Tai Cang's strength, he wouldn't be able to easily enter and exit it. However, since the latter was able to say such words, it clearly showed how much importance he placed on Mu Chen.
With a move of her alluring figure, Xia Youran took the lead to shoot out, transforming into a streak of light as she rushed towards the mountain range that had extended out from the spatial crack. Immediately following suit, Mu Chen followed closely behind.
Shooting past the streaks of light that hid the skies and covered the earth, the two of them accompanied each other as they rushed into the spatial crack. Their figures grew increasingly small, before completely disappearing within.
Humm.
As more and more people swarmed into the Divine Spiritual Mountain Range, one could see the space around it slowly turning transparent, appearing just like a mirror. Within the mirror was a vast and endless ancient mountain range. At this moment, countless black figures surfaced at the edge of the mountain range. They were the people who had barged into it earlier.
The figures that hid the skies and covered the earth instantly broke the eternal silence of the Divine Spiritual Mountain Range.
In the outside world, the various big shots stood in the air, their gazes focused intently on the ancient mountain range that was hidden within the space. They knew that an extremely intense and cruel fight would likely erupt within it in the next moment.
All of this was for the sake of the "Divine Spiritual Baptism" that only a handful of people could enjoy!
