A massive pillar of light soared into the sky and could be clearly seen within a hundred miles. Furthermore, everyone could sense a heart-palpitating pressure being emitted from the pillar of light. That pressure wasn't foreign to them, since they had felt it from the Elders of the Spiritual Academy that had stepped into the Sovereign Realm.
Thus, the owner of the pillar of light had clearly stepped into the Sovereign Realm.
On a mountain peak in Hokuang Reiwon, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong raised their heads as they looked at the direction of the pillar of light with complicated gazes.
"This guy is really a pervert."
In the end, Shen Cangsheng bitterly smiled as he sighed with admiration and unwillingness in his eyes. Back then, when he first met Mu Chen, the latter was still being pursued by Mo Xingtian. But in just a short span of three years, that youth had already far surpassed him and stepped into the Sovereign Realm before him.
Li Xuantong nodded his head. His feelings were even stronger than Shen Cangsheng's. After all, back then, Mu Chen had to go all-out just to last three rounds against him. At that time, Li Xuantong didn't feel that ordinary Mu Chen could be a match for the outstanding Luo Li.
However, in less than three years, they had personally witnessed Mu Chen's rise and dazzle. At this moment, even Li Xuantong had to admit that Luo Li's eyesight was pretty good. Although Luo Tianshen didn't seem to be particularly satisfied with Mu Chen when Luo Li left, Li Xuantong, who had witnessed Mu Chen's rise, knew that one day, Luo Tianshen would also be the same as him.
At the same time, Luo Tianshen would also have no choice but to change his view of Mu Chen.
This youth had always been able to create miracles that left others dumbfounded.
"I'm afraid that Mu Chen won't be staying in Hokuang Reiwon for much longer," Shen Cangsheng suddenly said.
His voice was filled with reluctance. After interacting with Mu Chen for so long, he had a very good impression of him.
"What about you?"
Li Xuantong looked at Shen Cangsheng. He knew that the man in front of him was also filled with pride.
One Hokuang Reiwon couldn't trap him forever.
"I will also begin my closed-door training so that I can advance to the Utmost Exalt realm as soon as possible.
At that time, I will also go to the Boundless World. Hehe, who knows, I might even meet Mu Chen at that time.
If there is a chance.
I'll have a good spar with him and see who's stronger and who's weaker. "Shen Cangsheng smiled, his eyes filled with fighting spirit and anticipation.
"At that time, let's go together. I believe that the speed at which I advance to the Sovereign realm might be even faster than you." A smile surfaced on Li Xuantong's handsome face as he said.
"Haha, it's not that easy to surpass me.
It's not that simple! Do you think that you're Mu Chen?! "Shen Cangsheng laughed heartily.
"Then let's wait and see." Li Xuantong lightly smiled.
His gaze was warm. He had truly treated Shen Cangsheng as an opponent that he could compete with and examine his own shortcomings. As for Mu Chen, that fellow was simply a monster. Therefore, it was better to eliminate him. Li Xuantong didn't want to suffer a setback every single time.
Before the main hall of Hokuang Reiwon, the Northern Sea Dragon, Dean Tai Cang, Hall Master Mo You and the rest raised their heads to look at the massive pillar of light with gratification in their eyes. The achievements that Mu Chen had obtained in the past two to three years were extremely rare in Hokuang Reiwon.
"That brat's truly formidable. How great would it be if he could continue staying in our Hokuang Reiwon?" Hall Master Mo You couldn't help sighing.
"Short-sighted, ruining one's future." Faced with Hall Master Mo You's sigh, the Northern Sea Dragon bluntly scolded him with a darkened face.
After being scolded, Hall Master Mo You's face instantly turned ashen as he awkwardly replied, "I'm just joking."
Seeing this, Dean Tai Cang couldn't help smiling, before saying with a deep gaze, "Mu Chen's potential is extremely great, and our Hokuang Reiwon is unable to fully develop him. Only the vast and boundless Great Thousand World is the true stage that belongs to him."
"Therefore, if he continues to stay in our Hokuang Reiwon, although his strength will increase, he'll absolutely be unable to become a true super expert. Mo You, do you believe that when Mu Chen has the chance to return to our Hokuang Reiwon in the future, not to mention us, even old brother Northern Sea might not be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him."
Upon hearing this, shock appeared on Mo You's face. Clearly, he never imagined that Dean Tai Cang would view Mu Chen so highly.
Standing by his side, the Northern Sea Dragon stroked his beard, while a calm and tranquil expression appeared on his aged face. Surprisingly, he didn't oppose Dean Tai Cang's words. That's because he knew that what Dean Tai Cang had said wasn't impossible. Indeed, this youth possessed frightening potential. Furthermore, the most crucial point was that he possessed the heart of an expert that chased after the path of cultivation.
Unswerving determination, persistence, and steadfastness to one's heart.
For a true super expert, talent was secondary. The most important thing was the heart of an expert.
This youth's future was extraordinary!
"Elder sister Ling Xi, has big brother Mu Chen successfully made a breakthrough?"
Within the quiet courtyard, Sun 'er covered her eyes with her little hands, her face filled with pleasant surprise as she looked at the gigantic pillar of light in the distance.
"Should be."
Ling Xi knelt in front of the bamboo house. Due to her kneeling posture, her white dress drew out a rather breathtaking arc. However, there weren't any men that had the opportunity to feast their eyes on this scene. Holding a jade pot, Ling Xisu poured herself a drink. Casually glancing at the gigantic pillar of light, she nodded her head in an indifferent manner.
"Elder sister Ling Xi, why aren't you worried about big brother Mu Chen?" Sun 'er was somewhat dissatisfied with Ling Xi's indifferent attitude, instantly pouting her little mouth.
"He currently has a great beauty by his side to protect him, so there's no need for me to worry about him," replied Ling Xi in an indifferent tone.
"Oh ~" Sun 'er sat in front of Ling Xi with a grin. Dragging out her words, she giggled, "So elder sister Ling Xi is jealous of that beautiful big sister!"
"Is she very beautiful?" Ling Xi stared at Sun 'er as a dangerous arc rose in her beautiful eyes.
"As beautiful as Elder sister Ling Xi, no, Elder sister Ling Xi is even more beautiful!"
Sun 'er blurted out. However, when she saw Ling Xi's brows slightly raised, she instantly felt that something was amiss and immediately changed her words.
"Hmph."
Ling Xi lightly snorted as she raised her cold face and looked at the pillar of Spiritual Energy that stood between the heavens and earth. She lightly clenched her teeth. Previously, when he was in seclusion, she had taken the initiative to ask if he needed her help to protect him. However, in the end, that fellow actually rejected her. He was simply wicked beyond redemption!
Sun 'er secretly looked at Ling Xi with doubt in her little head. Although Big Sister Ling Xi was usually a little cold towards others, she was extremely kind in her heart. In the past, she was also on good terms with Big Sister Luo Li and the rest. Why was she so resistant towards Big Sister Jiu You?
It's said that in the Goddess Luo Association, Big Sister Ling Xi and Big Sister Jiu You were publicly acknowledged to be the most popular mature sisters. Although she didn't know what mature sisters were!
Just as Sun 'er's thoughts were running wild, Ling Xi slowly stood up. Looking at the gigantic pillar of light, a smear of gratification and pride appeared in her beautiful eyes. He's truly worthy of being Aunt Jing's son. In the future, he should be as outstanding as Aunt Jing.
If that day really comes, Ling Xi thought that even she might not be able to resist falling for that fellow.
Thinking about that, Ling Xi's face couldn't help turning slightly red as she hastily dispelled that thought.
The gigantic pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth lasted for a few minutes, before gradually dissipating. As the pillar of light dissipated, two streaks of light streaked across the horizon. In a flash, they appeared in the sky above Hokuang Reiwon.
Countless students shot their gazes over, only to see a youth standing in the sky. His appearance was still the same as before. Even the vigorous Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating from his body seemed to have completely dissipated. If it wasn't for the fact that he was standing in the sky, there might really be people who thought that he had failed his breakthrough.
Standing beside Mu Chen, Jiu You was also slender and elegant, attracting even more gazes than Mu Chen. Her slender figure was a little tall, her fair neck was as elegant as a swan, her exquisite collarbone, and her voluptuous chest. Especially her pair of perfect long legs, which made others feel carefree and happy. Her long and narrow eyes were constantly surging with wildness, making others understand that wanting to conquer this girl before them was an absolutely difficult task that was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Looking at the countless gazes directed at Hokuang Reiwon, Mu Chen lightly smiled as he comfortably exhaled a mouthful of air. Gently clenching his fist, he could feel the terrifying Spiritual Energy that was constantly surging like a volcano within his body. The strength of that Spiritual Energy wasn't something that Third Grade Spirit Disaster could compare to.
Right now, he could probably suppress hundreds of Third Grade Spirit Disaster experts with a flip of his hand.
That gap wasn't something that could be made up for with quantity.
Furthermore, that power was just pure Spiritual Energy. If Mu Chen successfully refined the Sovereign Celestial Body in the future, the might would definitely be even more terrifying.
"What an enchanting power."
Mu Chen was intoxicated by it. After a brief moment, he recovered from it and brought Jiu You towards the direction of the Main Hall.
"Haha, congratulations, Mu Chen." When Hallmaster Mo You and the rest saw Mu Chen descending, they couldn't help smiling.
Mu Chen immediately cupped his fists, before looking at Dean Tai Cang and hesitated for a brief moment.
"What's the matter? Just say it, what's the point of being so courteous?" Dean Tai Cang lightly smiled at the sight of Su Mo's reaction as he gently said.
"Dean, I would like to use the 'Mirror of Judgement' of the Five Great Academies, I wonder if it's possible?"
Mu Chen was a little nervous as he looked at Dean Tai Cang and carefully asked. This was extremely important to him. If it wasn't possible, then it would be really hard for him to find the Immortal Catalog.
Mu Chen's request had clearly exceeded the expectations of Dean Tai Cang and the rest. Immediately, the latter's face slowly turned grave as he tightly knitted his brows.
At the sight of this, Mu Chen's heart couldn't help sinking.
(Let me solemnly recommend a divine book to everyone. It's written by the Yongye Monarch, Misty Rain Jiangnan. This can be considered as an old god in the web literature world. I have been reading it for the past few days. Everyone can search for it in the Qidian Bookstore, it's pretty good.)
