In the ancient palace, boundless and pure Spiritual Energy ripples rippled out, causing ripples to appear in this space.
Mu Chen, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan sat in the sky, occupying different positions. Boundless Spiritual Energy spread out from the three of them. Clearly, they had already started to subdue those Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.
Mu Chen's expression was extremely grave. Through the previous probing, he was clear about how powerful those Sovereign Spiritual Liquids were. If they possessed offensive capabilities, Mu Chen wouldn't dare to have any interest in them. That's because the Spiritual Energy contained in every single drop of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was even more powerful than all the Spiritual Energy in his body.
After all, this was a Spiritual Item that a Sovereign expert had spent a great amount of time to refine.
Huff.
A lump of white mist slowly exhaled from Mu Chen's mouth. His expression was extremely grave as he abruptly stretched both of his palms out. Black and white Spiritual Energy formed into a black and white hand that swiftly grabbed towards those dark-green fishes that were swimming in the air. Buzz!
Buzz!
At this moment, Mu Chen had clearly pushed his Spiritual Energy to the limits. The black and white hand flickered as it swiftly grabbed onto a dark-green fish and subdued it.
When Mu Chen made his move, a clear phoenix cry resounded from Wen Qingxuan's location. Golden light flickered and within the golden light, there seemed to be a golden phoenix gracefully unfolding its wings with Wen Qingxuan sitting on the golden phoenix.
The golden phoenix unfolded its wings and golden feathers suddenly shot out. As those golden feathers gathered, they formed into dozens of miniature golden phoenixes. Shortly after, the golden phoenixes flew out and drew streaks of golden light as they pecked at the dark-green fishes that were swimming in the air and devoured them.
After those miniature phoenixes devoured the dark-green fishes, they swiftly flew back and turned back into golden feathers. The golden phoenix burst out with dazzling golden light that lasted for roughly half an hour before it gradually dissipated.
When the golden light dissipated, Wen Qingxuan's figure appeared. She gently clenched her fist and a total of ten droplets of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid hovered in her hand.
In just half an hour, she had actually subdued ten droplets of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Compared to Mu Chen, her efficiency was several times faster.
Wen Qingxuan looked at the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in her hand as she nodded her head in satisfaction. Thereafter, she gave a provocative glance towards Mu Chen's direction. That's because the latter's palm of light that was formed from Spiritual Energy couldn't be compared to her golden phoenix.
Mu Chen had also sensed Wen Qingxuan's provocative gaze and couldn't help smiling. He was also a little startled by the latter's means. Furthermore, he could sense a unique fluctuation coming from the golden phoenix of Wen Qingxuan.
That fluctuation was a little familiar to him.
Buzz!
Just when Mu Chen's gaze flickered, a clear sword cry abruptly resounded from another side. He directed his gaze over and saw an incomparably sharp Sword Intent spreading out around Luo Li. That Sword Intent was formless and formless, but he could clearly sense a heart-palpitating fluctuation spreading out. Buzz!
Buzz!
The ringing of the sword became even more rapid as the Luo God Sword in Luo Li's hand slightly trembled. In the next instant, the Luo God Sword soared into the sky as sword lustre spread out. It had turned into a sword river that was filled with sword lustre as it whistled down. It was like a huge python as it instantly devoured ten-odd drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
After the sword river devoured the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, it coiled around Luo Li. Mu Chen could see the Luo God Sword emitting sword lustre in the sword river, constantly suppressing the resisting droplets of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. The Luo God Sword was indeed worthy of being a genuine Divine Artifact. The power that it possessed far exceeded Mu Chen's imagination.
Mu Chen had never seen the Luo God Sword completely display its divine might. However, he could sense that if the Luo God Sword were to display its divine might, he might only be able to match up to it if he completely undid all of the seals on the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. If not, it would be hard for the Great Meru Demonic Pillar to contend against it.
With the power of the Luo God Sword, Luo Li's efficiency in suppressing the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was rather fast. In less than half an hour, there were ten droplets of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid that flew out from the sword river formed by the Luo God Sword and quietly hovered before her.
Luo Li clenched her fist as she stored the ten droplets of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Thereafter, she looked at Mu Chen and gave him a smile. She mischievously pointed in the direction of Wen Qingxuan and mouthed, "Don't lose to her."
Mu Chen helplessly glared at her. This lass actually dared to rejoice in his misfortune.
However, it was time for him to use some means. Otherwise, he would be thrown far away by them. At that time, who knew how much Wen Qingxuan would ridicule him.
Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as his black pupils started to focus. With a wave of his sleeve, the huge hand formed by Spiritual Energy dissipated. This method of capturing Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was too inefficient. It couldn't be compared to the two girls, Wen Qingxuan and Luo Li.
Mu Chen formed seals with both of his hands as he slowly closed his eyes. The Spiritual Energy fluctuations around him started to calm down.
Wen Qingxuan and Luo Li had also sensed his actions. While they were capturing the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, they had also directed their gazes over.
Under their gazes, a black lustre suddenly appeared on the surface of Mu Chen's body. The lustre grew denser as it started to condense behind Mu Chen. Vaguely, it had formed into the shape of a pagoda.
The shape of the pagoda became clearer as it turned into a real black pagoda.
This pagoda was engraved with profound runes. Every single layer was engraved with the shape of a dragon. Those engravings were vivid and lifelike. As the huge dragon roared, it looked as if it was trying to break free from the pagoda.
A peculiar pressure quietly spread out. Those Sovereign Spiritual Liquids that were swimming around Mu Chen seemed to have suffered some sort of pressure as they started to escape.
"What is this?"
Wen Qingxuan was slightly startled. Clearly, this was the first time that she had seen Mu Chen execute such means. Furthermore, that black pagoda vaguely made her feel a little pressured.
Luo Li's beautiful eyes faintly lit up as she looked at the black-coloured pagoda. This wasn't the first time that she had seen such an item. Furthermore, she was extremely clear about the power of this pagoda. Back then, outside the Divine Spiritual Mountain in the Northern Heavens Continent, Mu Chen's mother had appeared. Relying on a similar pagoda, she had forcefully refined the Yellow Dragon Sovereign along with his Sovereign Celestial Body. That scene had caused even the big shots of the various factions in the Northern Heavens Continent to be shocked to the point of speechlessness.
Although the pagoda that Mu Chen possessed right now couldn't be compared to his mother's, it was definitely not weak.
As the pagoda floated behind Mu Chen, a black light swept out. That black light seemed to possess a mysterious power. As long as they were enveloped by that black light, those small emerald fishes would lose their resistance and be sucked into the pagoda along with the black light.
When those small emerald fishes were sucked into the pagoda, a dragon roar resounded from the pagoda. An ancient golden dragon separated from the pagoda and turned into a thin golden flame as it charged into the pagoda. As the golden flames spread out, it had directly enveloped those small emerald fishes. Sizzle!
Sizzle!
The golden flames possessed an extremely terrifying power. Back then, the Sovereign Celestial Body of the Yellow Dragon Sovereign was refined by the golden flames in the pagoda of Mu Chen's mother.
Therefore, facing the golden flames, the resistance of those small emerald fishes was extremely weak. In less than twenty minutes, ten-odd drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids floated in the pagoda.
With a wave of his hand, the Sovereign Spiritual Liquids flew out and landed in Mu Chen's hand.
Looking at the Sovereign Spiritual Liquids in his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of Mu Chen's lips. Ever since he had cultivated the complete Great Pagoda Art, the pagoda had become even more powerful. However, he rarely used it against his enemies, since it was a powerful trump card of his.
Mu Chen stored the Sovereign Spiritual Liquids and cast a glance at Wen Qingxuan. There was still shock on the girl's face. Clearly, she was a little shocked by Mu Chen's speed.
"Hmph."
However, when she sensed Mu Chen's gaze, she snorted in disdain and turned her head away, no longer paying attention to him. She controlled the golden phoenix and started to subdue the Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.
Seeing that he had intimidated the prideful girl, Mu Chen couldn't help smiling as he winked at Luo Li.
"You only know how to bully girls."
Luo Li smiled as he rolled his eyes. Thereafter, he no longer got distracted and started to make his move.
Mu Chen smiled as he retracted his gaze and calmed his thoughts. Right now, he had to make the best use of his time to subdue the Sovereign Spiritual Liquids. It wouldn't be easy for him to encounter such a place in the future. With so much Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, even in the Great Thousand World, it would attract many Sovereign experts to fight for it. At that time, it wouldn't be comparable to the small fights of Cuttlefish's group.
Therefore, since there was such an opportunity before him, he had to grasp it with all his might and try to obtain as much Sovereign Spiritual Liquids as possible. It would be greatly beneficial for his cultivation in the future. After all, a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids was required to step into the Sovereign Realm. Boom!
Boom!
Along with Mu Chen completely calming his mind, the pagoda behind him started to emit black light as it sucked the small fish into the pagoda and subdued them.
In the ancient hall, the whistling of Spiritual Energy resounded. The golden phoenix, sword river and black pagoda each occupied a corner. As time slowly passed, the small fish were constantly being turned into Sovereign Spiritual Liquids and were taken away by the three of them.
In this trip to the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard, the three of them had clearly become the greatest harvest.
