The boundless fluctuations radiating from the heavens and earth had already gradually dissipated away. All of the previous great battles had come to an end due to the appearance of Aunt Jing. Within the Northern Heavens Continent, the faces of the various big shots were filled with shock and dread. Looking towards Aunt Jing, their gazes were filled with dread and dread. An expert of her level was simply unrivalled within their Northern Heavens Continent.
Furthermore, all of them could clearly see that following the escape of the Black Dragon Sovereign and his group, the confrontation between the Demonic Dragon Palace and Hokuang Reiwon had already come to an end. However, this outcome was truly too miserable for the Demonic Dragon Palace, with the loss of their Sovereign experts. Perhaps, in the future, the Demonic Dragon Palace would no longer have the qualifications to contend against Hokuang Reiwon.
Faced with such an outcome, quite a few big shots had secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Hokuang Reiwon was a leviathan that had surpassed the numerous peak influences, he hadn't revealed too much of an enormous ambition over the past few years. Compared to the Demonic Dragon Palace, this was already much better. If not for the Demonic Dragon Palace's thorough preparations, and the fact that they had actually invited a big shot like the Immeasurable Old Ancestor, there would definitely be some big shots that would take action at the final juncture, helping Hokuang Reiwon to salvage the situation.
However, from the looks of it, there were clearly no need for such a move. The appearance of Aunt Jing had instantly reversed the entire situation. The Demonic Dragon Palace, which had originally held the upper hand, had fled in panic. Furthermore, they had suffered disastrous casualties. Although they wouldn't be unable to recover from this setback, they had lost the qualifications to contend against Hokuang Reiwon.
"What a pity."
There were some big shots that secretly felt regretful. Originally, they had planned to lend some help to Hokuang Reiwon when he was at his weakest, allowing Hokuang Reiwon to owe them a favour. However, from the looks of it, they had already lost that opportunity.
Up in the sky, Aunt Jing shot a look at the space that the Black Dragon Sovereign and the rest had fled to, before looking towards Hokuang Reiwon. Looking at her, she spoke out in a soft voice, "As of now, the strength of the Demonic Dragon Palace has been greatly damaged. Hokuang Reiwon shouldn't give up on this opportunity. I'm just a spiritual body, and won't be able to exist for long. However, I hope that Hokuang Reiwon doesn't leave behind any huge problems. If not, if they were to seize the opportunity and go crazy, and engage in a life and death struggle, I believe that Hokuang Reiwon will bear some of the responsibility for what happens to Mu Chen."
Aunt Jing's voice didn't appear to be overbearing. Nevertheless, it caused Dean Tai Cang to involuntarily give a bitter laugh. This gave off the feeling of a parent of a student coming to Hokuang Reiwon to hold the Demonic Dragon Palace accountable. However, he still replied in a solemn manner, "Sir, please be at ease. This time, our Hokuang Reiwon will not let the Demonic Dragon Palace off so easily. The reason why we haven't taken any action in the past is due to the ancient Spiritual Array present in the Demonic Dragon Palace's old nest. If the Black Dragon Sovereign and the other five Sovereigns were to activate it at the same time, even our Hokuang Reiwon's Northern Sea Dragon would be unable to break through it. Therefore, we could only allow them to lay low for all these years. However, they've suffered disastrous losses this time.
"Therefore, we definitely won't leave behind any future troubles!"
The last sentence was spoken by Dean Tai Cang in a resolute and decisive manner, while killing intent flowed within his eyes. For the past few years, the malignant tumor known as the Demonic Dragon Palace had caused their Hokuang Reiwon to be unable to eat or sleep in peace. Even the students that had gone out to train and temper themselves were filled with fear and trepidation. However, due to some reasons, they were unable to completely eliminate the Demonic Dragon Palace. In the end, they could only set an agreement that the Elders of both sides were not allowed to take action, allowing the younger generations to confront each other.
Gently nodding her head, Aunt Jing raised her head. Her gaze seemed to pierce through the layers of clouds, looking towards an extremely far distance. There, two astonishing figures were confronting each other. The frightening fluctuations radiating from them seemed to be something that everyone in the entire Northern Heavens Continent could sense.
"That Northern Sea Dragon of your Hokuang Reiwon is currently fighting with someone, right?
That person is that Immeasurable Old Ancestor?
The strength of a Ninth Grade Sovereign can be considered passable. "Rays of brilliance seemed to circulate within Aunt Jing's eyes as she spoke out.
A helpless smile appeared on Dean Tai Cang's face. The strength of a Ninth Grade Sovereign was actually only passable in the eyes of this person before him. Now, as a Fifth Grade Sovereign, he truly didn't have the face to say anything. However, after thinking about the Black Dragon Sovereign, who had been casually chased away by Aunt Jing like a stray dog, he felt somewhat balanced. The Great Thousand Worlds was too vast, with crouching tigers and hidden dragons hidden within. Who knows when a frightening expert that could shake the entire world would suddenly appear?
"Sir!"
Dean Tai Cang hesitated for a brief moment. Shooting a look towards the nine heavens, which was hard to reach with the naked eye, he wanted to say something, but stopped himself. He wanted to ask Aunt Jing to help the Northern Sea Dragon. Although he didn't believe that the Immeasurable Old Ancestor would be able to defeat the Northern Sea Dragon, he was worried that some unforeseen circumstances might occur. After all, the Northern Sea Dragon's existence was extremely important for their Hokuang Reiwon to be able to stand firm within the Five Great Academies. Therefore, if any mishap were to happen to the Northern Sea Dragon, it would be a fatal blow to their Hokuang Reiwon.
Shooting a look at him, Aunt Jing replied, "That Northern Sea Dragon of yours has already reached the threshold of the Earth Sovereign Stage. If he continues to cultivate for a little more time, it shouldn't be hard for him to make a breakthrough. If their fight continues, the Northern Sea Dragon will have the upper hand."
"However," Aunt Jing's voice paused for a moment, before giving a smile. "Since Mu Chen is cultivating in your Hokuang Reiwon, he can be considered to have received your care. As his mother, I naturally have to show my gratitude."
As of now, she was only a spiritual body, with her original body unable to move. Therefore, she couldn't continue to stay by Mu Chen's side. Therefore, in the future, Mu Chen would have to rely on Hokuang Reiwon for his cultivation. Since that's the case, Aunt Jing wouldn't mind giving Hokuang Reiwon a favour!
"Thank you very much."
Cupping his hands, Dean Tai Cang's voice was filled with gratitude. He was an understanding person, and knew that the reason why Aunt Jing would help him was completely due to the fact that Mu Chen was in their Hokuang Reiwon.
Waving her hand, Aunt Jing replied, "The remaining strength of this spiritual body should be able to scare away the Immeasurable Old Ancestor."
As her voice rang out, with a move of her body, she transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the horizon. Shooting past the layers of clouds, she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Looking towards the direction where her figure had disappeared, everyone was startled. Clearly, they understood what she wanted to do, causing them to inwardly grin. Today, their horizons had truly been broadened!
Not long after Aunt Jing disappeared, boundless fluctuations swept out from the nine heavens. Gales violently swept across the horizon, while the Spiritual Energy in this region started to boil and erupt. Clearly, an exceedingly frightening battle was currently erupting in the nine heavens.
Bang!
A clap of thunder resounded, as a furious roar seemed to resound across the heavens and earth. "Who is it?
Sir, I'm the Immeasurable Old Ancestor of the Immeasurable Continent! "
However, before the roar could completely ring out, it was interrupted, as the Spiritual Energy fluctuations in the region grew increasingly rampant.
Roar!
The furious roar of the Immeasurable Old Ancestor continued to ring out, causing countless experts to raise their heads in shock. At this moment, the layers of clouds in the nine heavens appeared to have been torn apart, with one being able to faintly discern waves that blotted the skies sweeping out and gushing about.
Everyone could see that the Immeasurable Old Ancestor's situation seemed to have been distorted, with him retreating step by step.
"All of you, you better remember this! I won't let this matter rest!"
After the frightening collisions continued for over a dozen minutes, the Immeasurable Old Ancestor finally gave a furious roar. As the layers of clouds in the horizon collapsed and shattered, black seawater gushed back. In a somewhat miserable manner, a figure rushed into the shattered space, before disappearing without a trace.
The Immeasurable Old Ancestor from the Immeasurable Continent had actually been frightened into retreating!
Looking at this scene, Mu Chen couldn't help smacking his lips. His mother's strength was truly too terrifying. The current him seemed to have the potential to become a "powerful second generation". Mu Chen smiled. Naturally, this thought only flashed past his heart. His mother's strength was indeed extremely powerful. However, even with such powerful strength, she had no choice but to leave him and his father. Clearly, she believed that with her current strength, she wasn't able to protect him and his father. Therefore, she could only leave by herself.
A mysterious clan that was able to cause his mother's strength to worry would definitely possess strength that was unimaginable to him.
Clenching his fists tightly, Mu Chen's heart felt somewhat heavy. However, the expression within the youth's eyes quickly turned resolute. No matter what, he would absolutely not give up. Although the current him might still be very weak, he believed that there would be a day when he would head to that unknown place and bring his mother back!
Whoosh!
Two rays of light shot down from the horizon, before Aunt Jing and the Northern Sea Dragon appeared. At this moment, the latter was looking at Aunt Jing in astonishment, with shock present within his eyes. "You're Mu Chen's mother?"
Aunt Jing faintly nodded her head.
A flash of understanding flashed within the eyes of the Northern Sea Dragon. He had once seen Mu Chen summon his Slaughter Pagoda. At that time, he had guessed that Mu Chen seemed to have some sort of relationship with that clan. At this moment, after seeing Mu Chen's mother, he completely understood everything.
"So it's you." The Northern Sea Dragon cupped his hands together.
Shooting a look at the Northern Sea Dragon, Aunt Jing turned to look at Mu Chen, before saying, "I hope that you won't tell Mu Chen about this matter."
The Northern Sea Dragon was somewhat puzzled. If Mu Chen also possessed the bloodline of that clan, then he should truly be a proud son of the heavens. However, from the looks of it, Mu Chen didn't seem to know that he possessed such an identity. Nevertheless, although he was puzzled, the Northern Sea Dragon was smart enough not to ask about it. After all, that clan was too complicated.
"Yes, this old man understands." The Northern Sea Dragon nodded his head.
Similarly, Aunt Jing didn't explain anything. Clearly, she didn't want others to know about the reason behind this matter. Turning her head around, she walked to the side of Mu Chen, extending her hand to hold onto his. At this moment, rays of light started to radiate from her body, seemingly showing signs of dissipating.
"Mother."
Tightly grabbing onto Aunt Jing's hand, Mu Chen was somewhat nervous. He could feel that his mother's spiritual body wouldn't be able to last much longer.
"Dean Tai Cang, let me talk to Mu Chen." Aunt Jing smiled towards Dean Tai Cang and the rest.
Hearing her words, Dean Tai Cang and the rest nodded their heads, before retreating away, giving way to the mother and son.
(Today, after attending the establishment of the Zhejiang Online Writers' Association, I've caught a cold. I'm going to write my novel first. Tomorrow, I'll head to Shanghai, and the day after that, I'll head to Beijing. I'll remember all the chapters that I'm missing, and will definitely make up for them. It's already been six months since the great ruler started his novel, and he's currently at 136 thousand words. On average, the number of words he's updated every month has surpassed that of Dou Po and Wu Dong. Therefore, there are times when I'm temporarily unable to make up for them. I hope everyone can understand.
I might update once in the next few days, so please help me remember the chapters that I'm missing. Thank you!)
