Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Countless glowing figures hid the skies and covered the earth as they shot over, before descending onto the land. Everyone's eyes were filled with greed as they looked towards the endless mountain range. This Divine Spiritual Mountain range was said to have been formed after the death of a Heavenly Sovereign. Although the most precious thing here was undoubtedly the "Divine Spiritual Baptism", there were still many other heavenly treasures left behind from ancient times. If they were able to obtain those things, it would be an extremely joyous matter for them.
At this moment, Mu Chen and Xia Youran had also descended onto the land. Mu Chen curiously started to look around him. This endless mountain range was too vast, and they were akin to ants within it. Gigantic trees towered into the skies, with every single one of them being thousands of metres tall, akin to pillars that supported the heavens. Even a storm would be unable to shake them.
Raising his head, Mu Chen discovered that there was unexpectedly a jet-black colour present high up in the sky. That wasn't the night sky, but a shattered space. The jet-black colour was akin to a revolving black hole. Anything that fell into it would be devoured by the darkness, causing people to feel fear and dread.
In the sky, there were some gigantic clumps of light radiating with brilliance, illuminating the endless mountain range. Within those clumps of light, there seemed to be rather frightening fluctuations radiating from them. Clearly, those things should have been left behind by the legendary Heavenly Sovereign that had died here. With their current strength, they simply didn't dare to approach them.
"This is the Divine Spiritual Mountain range?"
Mu Chen exclaimed in admiration. He was able to sense that the Spiritual Aura present in this region was somewhat unique, as though it contained a mysterious substance. If one were to absorb and refine it, one's entire body would feel a sense of hunger and thirst, as though it was itching to absorb all of the Spiritual Aura present in this region.
"It's said that the Spiritual Aura of the world here is mixed with the blood of the Heavenly Sovereign that had passed away. It's extremely beneficial for the cultivation of one's fleshly body," said Xia Youran with a smile.
"No wonder."
Mu Chen smacked his lips with shock in his heart. No one knew how long that Heavenly Sovereign had been dead, but even so, the blood that he left behind could change the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth. That was simply heaven-defying.
"However, it's a pity that the Divine Spiritual Mountain Range only opens for a short period of time, only a few days. Otherwise, continuing to cultivate here would bring about great benefits."
Said Xia Youran in a slightly regretful tone. Although their Nine Summers Chamber of Commerce possessed an extremely strong foundation, it was still impossible for them to produce Spiritual Energy that was mixed with the blood of a Heavenly Sovereign for people to cultivate.
Mu Chen nodded his head. If he was able to train here for a period of time, his Lightning God Physique would probably achieve a considerable breakthrough.
"The land here is a little unusual."
Lowering his head to take a look at the ground, Mu Chen noticed that a faint dark-red colour was present on the ground. Circulating his Spiritual Energy, he gave a heavy stomp with his feet. However, it was only able to cause a few unremarkable cracks to appear on the ground, causing his eyelids to involuntarily twitch. If this was outside, a stomp of his would cause even a mountain peak to shake. However, in this place, it was unexpectedly only able to achieve such a small effect.
"Due to the Heavenly Sovereign passing away here, some of his flesh and blood have fused with the Divine Spiritual Mountain Range. As a result, everything here appears to be different from the masses," explained Xia Youran as she covered her mouth with a smile.
"So that's the case," replied Mu Chen in a flash.
"Furthermore, due to the Heavenly Sovereign passing away, the Divine Spiritual Mountain Range has used his power to nurture some mystical Spiritual Treasures. These Spiritual Treasures are exceedingly precious, as they've definitely absorbed a large amount of Spiritual Energy mixed with the blood of a Heavenly Sovereign to grow here. This has an extremely strong effect towards the tempering of one's fleshly body."
With a smile, Xia Youran continued, "In fact, many people that enter the Divine Spiritual Mountain Range aren't aiming for the Divine Spiritual Baptism. Although it's indeed the most precious thing here, the difficulty of obtaining it is truly too great. Therefore, it's better to take this opportunity to search for some Spiritual Treasures to strengthen one's fleshly body in preparation to pass their Human Body Disaster in the future."
Hearing that, Mu Chen nodded his head. Truthfully speaking, he was also somewhat tempted by this. However, he knew the importance of this matter. His target was the Divine Spiritual Baptism, and he truly didn't have the time to specifically search for those Spiritual Treasures that were hidden extremely deep within.
"Let's go. We'll head straight for the baptism at the heart of the Divine Spiritual Mountain Range, and see if we're lucky enough to find some Spiritual Treasures along the way."
With a sweet smile on her face, Xia Youran's alluring figure shot out. Seeing this, Mu Chen immediately followed suit.
The two of them flew at a low altitude, not daring to ascend high into the sky. That's because the further they were from the ground, the more dangerous it would be. If they were unlucky enough to be swept into the shattered space, they might be instantly crushed by the incomparably frightening spatial currents to the point that not even dregs would be left behind.
As they headed towards the depths of the vast Divine Spiritual Mountain Range, figures continued to shoot out from their surroundings. Akin to a swarm of locusts, they rushed into the mountain range, before entering every nook and cranny to search for the Spiritual Treasures of the world that were hidden within this region. This sort of carpet-style search did indeed have some results, as in less than half an hour, Mu Chen and Luo Yunyang were able to see some Spiritual Lights shooting towards the sky. Clearly, some of the Spiritual Treasures of the world had been discovered.
Standing at the top of a mountain slope, Mu Chen and Xia Youran looked towards the Spiritual Lights rushing towards the skies in the distance. Exchanging glances, they unexpectedly shook their heads.
Although those should be Spiritual Treasures, from the tyrannical strength of those Spiritual Lights, the Spiritual Energy contained within those Spiritual Treasures shouldn't be particularly strong. Coupled with the fact that there were far too many people attracted by them, they didn't want to waste any more time.
Therefore, the two of them decisively gave up on the idea of getting a share of the spoils. Pushing their speed to the limits, they shot out explosively.
As Mu Chen and Xia Youran increased their speed towards the baptism, they came across quite a few people along the way who had the same goal in mind. Exchanging glances with each other, all of their expressions turned somewhat unfriendly. However, in the end, no one took any action against them. From the looks of it, they had recognised Xia Youran, and knew that this Young Miss of the Nine Summers Chamber of Commerce wasn't one to be trifled with.
Relying on Xia Youran's reputation, no one dared to take any action against Mu Chen, despite his Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase strength appearing extremely ordinary in this place.
"Careful."
While rushing forward, Xia Youran suddenly extended her jade-like hand to grab onto Mu Chen. Looking solemnly towards the front with her beautiful eyes, she said, "The spatial gales are about to arrive."
Raising his head, Mu Chen saw that the world in the distance seemed to have turned somewhat dusky, while hurricanes could faintly be seen blotting out the skies and covering the earth as they swept over. Furthermore, black ripples seemed to surface within the hurricanes, which were unexpectedly wind blades formed from the berserk spatial fluctuations.
Chi Chi.
As the spatial gales howled past, even the thousand metre tall giant trees that were akin to pillars propping up the heavens were sliced apart. The sliced parts were as smooth as a mirror, causing Mu Chen to inwardly feel apprehensive. Indeed, the spatial gales were formidable.
"Let's hide for a while."
Grabbing onto Mu Chen, Xia Youran rapidly descended, before landing within a mountain valley. With a wave of her jade-like hand, boundless Spiritual Energy howled out, transforming into a glowing Spiritual Energy membrane, enveloping the small mountain valley within it.
Huff!
Huff! After Xia Youran had done all of this in a well-practiced manner, the entire world had already turned dusky. Hiding the skies and covering the earth, black gales swept out, covering the earth and covering the skies. Deep scars were carved out on the ground by the black spatial blades mixed within the gales, displaying the rather astonishing destructive power they possessed.
Creak.
Even the small mountain valley that they were in was affected by the gales, with the glowing Spiritual Energy membrane continuously trembling as the black spatial blades shook it to the point that it was on the verge of collapse.
A grave expression appeared on Mu Chen's face as he circulated the Spiritual Energy within his body, ready to take action at any moment.
Fortunately, the matter that he was most worried about did not occur. Although the glowing Spiritual Energy membrane continued to tremble, it did not shatter. This caused Mu Chen to quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
Ah!
Just as Mu Chen was breathing a sigh of relief, miserable shrieks suddenly rang out from the distance. Turning his gaze over, he saw that the Spiritual Energy defences set up by a dozen people had been torn apart by the gales. Before they could take action, the black spatial blades had already shot out without the slightest bit of mercy, slicing their bodies into pieces that blotted the skies.
Looking at the pieces of flesh and blood that blotted the skies, Mu Chen's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. Amongst those fellows, there was no lack of Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase experts that were on the same level as him. However, in the face of the gales, they were completely unable to put up any resistance.
"After this wave of gales passes, I wonder how many fellows will be out of luck."
Hearing those words, Xia Youran flung her rosy lips aside, not feeling any pity for them. Since they wanted to come to such a place, they naturally had to be prepared to pay the most miserable price.
"After this wave of gales passes, we'll continue on our way."
Nodding his head, Mu Chen planned to rest for a while. However, just as he was about to sit down, his expression suddenly changed. Turning his head around, he looked towards the mountain range in the distance. That was also the place where the gales had struck. Furthermore, it was clearly even more berserk than before. In fact, there was even a gigantic tornado wreaking havoc in that direction. Hiding the skies and covering the earth, spatial blades howled out, shredding everything they came into contact with.
Staring at the tornado, Mu Chen could not help narrowing his eyes. That's because, within the tornado, he seemed to be able to see a clump of dazzling spiritual light.
Whoosh!
Upon noticing the clump of dazzling spiritual light, intense rays of brilliance suddenly erupted from the latter. In fact, the rays of brilliance caused the dusky heavens and earth to brighten up for an instant.
Making use of this instant of brightness, Mu Chen was able to see what appeared to be a jade-white item within the rays of brilliance, appearing slightly similar to a bone.
"What's that?"
Muttered Mu Chen to himself. However, in the next instant, his expression suddenly changed, as he could not help but place his hand on his chest. He could feel a tremor suddenly radiating from within his aurasea. Upon sensing the source of the tremor, his heart started to beat intensely.
That's because the source of the tremor was unexpectedly the incomparably mysterious black piece of paper within his aurasea!
Furthermore, this tremor was clearly more intense than any other he had experienced before!
