Within the Divine Spiritual Mountain.
At this moment, the region that was originally the scene of a chaotic battle had turned abnormally quiet and peaceful. Everyone was seated on the ground, continuously absorbing the golden raindrops falling from the sky, which contained the incomparably miraculous Powers of Baptism.
Although the Powers of Baptism had already become somewhat thin after passing through the Nine Heavenly Steps, not a single person was disgusted by it. That's because they knew that if they were to absorb just a bit more of the Powers of Baptism, they might be able to have a sliver of a chance of survival in the future when they faced the Three Minor Disasters. This concerned their lives, so they couldn't be the slightest bit careless.
As they absorbed the Powers of Baptism, there were people who would cast envious gazes towards the highest position of the Nine Heavenly Steps. There, a slender figure of a youth quietly sat there, with resplendent golden light seemingly about to drown his entire body. The boundless Powers of Baptism caused everyone's eyes to turn red with envy. However, there was nothing they could do about it, as they knew what kind of arduous battle was required to sit in that position. Clearly, they didn't have the ability to do so.
Due to knowing this point, while feeling envious, they also felt admiration towards the youth that was able to sit at the highest position of the Nine Heavenly Steps within the Divine Spiritual Mountain, a place where experts were as numerous as the clouds, despite only being at the Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase.
The students taught by Hokuang Reiwon were indeed formidable. As expected of one of the Five Great Academies.
At the top of the Nine Heavenly Steps, Mu Chen quietly sat there. With a focused mind, he completely blocked off all disturbances from the outside world. Golden raindrops constantly surged towards him, before transforming into an endless stream of Baptism that flowed into his body.
At this moment, the interior of Mu Chen's body.
It was already permeated with a golden colour, with even his flesh and blood radiating with a faint golden radiance. An indescribable feeling of comfort rippled within Mu Chen's body.
Although the Powers of Baptism did not directly increase Mu Chen's strength, he was able to sense that there seemed to be some rather miraculous changes occurring within his body.
These changes were unfathomable. However, Mu Chen understood that when he faced the Three Minor Disasters in the future.
Perhaps, he would reap great benefits from this.
Within his golden body, slivers of golden liquid flowed through his flesh and blood.
Through his meridians, they continuously flowed into his aurasea, before converging onto the tiny palm of his Spirit. There.
Golden light filled the air.
As the golden liquid continued to compress, there seemed to be a golden crystal swiftly taking shape within it.
Buzz.
When the Strength of Baptism within Mu Chen's body had reached a certain level of strength, the ball of golden light finally began to gradually dissipate. All of the golden liquid rapidly compressed and condensed at the center of the ball of light.
A buzzing sound rang out, and the golden light gradually faded.
A thumb-sized golden crystal floated above the Spirit's palm.
"Baptism Crystal."
When Mu Chen's mind sensed this scene, joy immediately gushed out from his heart. Only by condensing the Baptism Crystal would he be able to complete the Divine Spiritual Baptism perfectly.
With a thought from Mu Chen, the Divine Soul opened its mouth. With a gentle inhale, it sucked the Baptism Crystal into its body. A sliver of golden light shot through the throat of the Divine Soul, before finally coming to a stop at the location of its heart. Sliver by sliver, the gentle golden light invaded the Divine Soul, causing it to become increasingly condensed.
"Success."
On the top of the Nine Heavenly Steps, Mu Chen opened his eyes. Within his black pupils, a golden light erupted, before slowly dissipating away. At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. Although there wasn't any sudden increase in his strength, he felt as if his body had become much lighter and more nimble. This feeling was as if his body had been cleansed.
Mu Chen raised his head. At this moment, boundless golden raindrops were still falling from the sky. Clearly, there was still some time before the end of the baptism.
Staring at the spectacle before him, Mu Chen didn't stop his cultivation. With a thought, a suction force erupted once again. He had already condensed a Baptism Crystal, which was able to help him complete his Baptism. From the looks of it, he clearly still had time to condense a second one. Naturally, this was condensed for Luo Li.
Although he knew that with the foundation of the Luo God Clan, Luo Li's chances of passing the "Three Sovereign Disasters" would definitely far exceed that of an ordinary person, it was naturally for the best if he could increase the safety of Luo Li. For the sake of coming to Hokuang Reiwon, the latter had given up her bitter training in the Luo God Clan to quietly accompany him. Although this was something that the young girl was willing to do, Mu Chen clearly could not be so heartless. He knew how heavy of a responsibility Luo Li had to bear. If he was able to make Luo Li's responsibility slightly lighter, he would definitely do his best to do so.
As of now, he was still too weak. Faced against a colossal existence like the Luo God Clan that was even larger than Hokuang Reiwon, he was unable to provide too much help to Luo Li. Therefore, this was the only thing he could do for Luo Li.
However, he also believed that there would be a day when he would possess the strength to stand before Luo Li, and completely block all the storms and storms for her!
The golden raindrops that blotted the skies converged towards Mu Chen once again, while golden rays of brilliance condensed within his palm.
Upon seeing this action of Mu Chen, the experts present could only let out a bitter sigh. The amount of Strength of Baptism that they were able to enjoy could be counted with one's fingers. However, Mu Chen was already condensing his second Baptism Crystal. This truly made people's eyes look like rabbit's eyes. Nevertheless, bitter sighs were bitter sighs, and no one felt indignant or indignant. There was no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. Relying on his strength to stand at the peak, Mu Chen had the qualifications to enjoy the greatest amount of Strength of Baptism. As long as he possessed sufficient strength, even if he were to swallow all of the Strength of Baptism for himself, no one would be able to say anything about it.
The golden raindrops continued to pour down from the skies at a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow. This continued for roughly an hour, before finally showing signs of weakening. One after another, experts started to open their eyes, while expressions of pity appeared on their faces. Clearly, they were unable to completely complete their Baptism, and could only do their utmost to absorb as much Strength of Baptism as possible, in order to make some preparations for the "Three Sovereign Disasters" in the future.
At this moment, Xia Youran, Xi Qinghai and Su Buxiu had also opened their eyes, with unconcealable joy present on their faces. Clearly, all of them had condensed their Baptism Crystals, and had perfectly completed this Divine Spiritual Baptism.
On the second highest step, the faces of Liu Ying, Dong Yuan and Su Buxiu weren't too good. Although faint golden rays of light radiated from their bodies, there was still some distance before they could complete their Divine Spiritual Baptism. However, at this moment, the Divine Spiritual Baptism was already nearing its end. Therefore, there was nothing they could do about it. If they wanted to blame someone, they could only blame themselves for choosing Mo Xingtian at the start.
"That trash."
Exchanging glances with each other, all three of them had stomachs full of anger. The only thing they could do was to fiercely curse at Mo Xingtian in their hearts. In any case, that fellow had already been cleanly killed by Mu Chen. Therefore, there was no need for them to fear him anymore.
Across the horizon, when the last bit of Strength of Baptism descended and was absorbed into Mu Chen's palm, golden light erupted from his palm, before a Baptism Crystal was condensed once again.
Gulp.
When the golden crystal appeared, sounds of saliva being swallowed rang out from below the Nine Heavenly Steps, as countless people stared straight at Mu Chen.
Seeing the countless wolf-like gazes, Mu Chen hastily kept the Baptism Crystal with a flip of his hand. This is for my wife. You guys can forget about it.
"Haha. Congratulations."
A sweet smile appeared on Xia Youran's face, with not the slightest bit of envy present on her face. Since she had already completed her Divine Spiritual Baptism, there wasn't any need for the Baptism Crystal.
"Brother Mu Chen, many thanks for this."
Xi Qinghai and Su Buxiu cupped their fists in gratitude. They knew that it was all thanks to Mu Chen that they were able to complete the baptism this time.
With a smile, Mu Chen waved his hand. Just as he was about to say something, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky. As the golden light condensed, the surrounding space started to rapidly warp and distort, before transforming into a spatial vortex. That was the pathway to leave the Divine Spiritual Mountain. Clearly, following the end of the Strength of Baptism, the Divine Spiritual Mountain was about to close.
Mu Chen smacked his lips as he shot a look at the gigantic ball of light floating in the sky. Perhaps, the greatest secret of the Divine Spiritual Mountain lies within it. However, it was a pity that with his current strength, he was utterly incapable of exploring it. Perhaps, when he becomes a peak expert within the Great Thousand Worlds, he might be able to take a look at it.
"Let's go."
Sending a smile towards Xia Youran and the other two, Mu Chen took the lead and shot towards the spatial vortex.
Below him, countless people rose into the sky, preparing to leave.
Bang!
However, just as they were about to approach the spatial vortex, an exceedingly berserk Spiritual Energy shockwave suddenly rushed in. As it swept out, it instantly sent countless people flying. Some unlucky fellows were sent flying thousands of metres away, their faces instantly turning pale. Clearly, they had suffered heavy injuries.
Nevertheless, Mu Chen and the rest reacted extremely quickly, avoiding the direction where the shockwave was the strongest. Nevertheless, shock and bewilderment filled every single one of their faces.
"What's going on?!"
Countless whispers erupted, with bewilderment and bewilderment filling the faces of everyone present.
"There seems to be Sovereign experts fighting outside the Divine Spiritual Mountain!"
Xia Youran's lovable face slightly changed. Such tyrannical fluctuations could only be created by Sovereign experts.
"Supreme-Being experts are fighting?"
Mu Chen gawked, before his face furiously contorted, while uneasiness gushed out from within his heart. There weren't many Sovereign experts in the Northern Heavens Continent, with all of them restraining each other exceedingly well. Therefore, it was exceedingly rare for a huge fight to break out between them. If there were two peak influences outside the Divine Spiritual Mountain that had the highest possibility of a huge fight breaking out, it would definitely be Hokuang Reiwon and the Demonic Dragon Palace.
Furthermore, there's also the fact that he had killed Mo Xingtian! Mu Chen's expression fluctuated as he rapidly rushed towards the spatial vortex. With a dark expression on his face, he tightly clenched his teeth. I can't let this fight affect Luo Li. If not, I don't care about your Demonic Dragon Palace. I'll make all of you accompany Mo Xingtian in the future!
(This chapter is the second chapter of yesterday's update.
There are still nine chapters missing from last month's update. I'll slowly fill them up. Ever since the start of the great ruler's book, I believe that I've already completed all the updates that I've missed. Therefore, please believe in me.
PS: Tomorrow, the sub-moderator and readers will come to Hangzhou to look for me. Perhaps I'll receive them. If there's any delay in updating, I'll take note of it.)
