The frozen atmosphere enveloped the courtyard as the two girls coldly stared at each other. As their auras spread out, it caused gales to howl, causing the leaves in the courtyard to violently dance.
Su 'er quietly hid behind a large tree as she secretly watched the confrontation between Jiu You and Ling Xi, fearing that she would be implicated.
Seeing this scene, Mu Chen felt a slight headache. He really couldn't understand why the two girls before him would act as if they were going to war the moment they met. Furthermore, it was the type where the smell of gunpowder was extremely heavy.
"Anyone can say nice words. In the future, if I find out that Mu Chen has suffered any harm because of this Bloodlink Bond, even if you're a member of the Jiu You Sparrow Clan, I will not let you off." Ling Xi coldly said as she looked at Jiu You with her beautiful eyes.
"What a big tone you have. I really want to see what ability you have to boast so shamelessly!" Jiu You's brows faintly knitted as she sneered.
"Is that so?" Ling Xi's lovable face was ice-cold as starry brilliance abruptly flickered within her slender jade-like hand.
"Hmph."
Jiu You coldly snorted as a chilling glint flickered within his eyes. Faintly, a gigantic figure that covered the heavens and earth appeared behind him, giving off a terrifying aura.
"Both of you, stop!"
However, just when the two girls were about to take action, Mu Chen finally couldn't hold back and furiously roared. Grabbing onto Ling Xi's jade-like hand, genuine fury finally surged on his handsome face. "Are the two of you done?!"
Ling Xi and Jiu You looked towards Mu Chen. However, this time, the latter did not interrupt them. Genuine fury was present on his face, while his originally gentle gaze had turned abnormally stern.
This was the first time that Ling Xi and Jiu You had seen Mu Chen truly enraged before them.
In an instant, his aura weakened. With a soft snort, he retracted the Spiritual Energy fluctuations around him.
Mu Chen looked at the two girls who had turned their faces away. He couldn't help but rub his forehead and said, "Elder sister Ling Xi, the Bloodline Bond between me and Jiu You was formed during our most dangerous times.
Even if there was a way to undo the Bloodline Bond, I wouldn't do it. All these years, Jiu You has helped me a lot. If it wasn't for her, I might not have been able to come this far. "
"No matter what dangers I encounter in the future because of this bloodline bond, I will bear them all.
As long as Jiu Jiu You doesn't agree, I won't let anyone remove our Bloodline Bond. "
Mu Chen's voice echoed in the courtyard.
It was not deep.
However, there was a stubbornness and determination that moved one's heart.
The iciness on Jiu You's and Ling Xi's beautiful faces had unknowingly eased up. The former's beautiful eyes shifted slightly, glancing at the youth's resolute and serious face before swiftly shifting away. However, for some unknown reason, her mood had suddenly become much lighter.
Ling Xi stared at Mu Chen.
In the end, she could only sigh softly and say, "Since you've said so, I won't say anything else."
She suddenly smiled sweetly and stared mischievously at Mu Chen.
"However, I never thought that little Mu Chen would be so responsible.
You're a real man. "
Mu Chen gritted his teeth and said, "How am I young?
You're only two or three years older than me! "
Ling Xi smiled noncommittally. She then raised her head to look at Jiu You, her tone gradually softening as she said, "I'm not targeting you, but you should understand that what I'm saying is indeed a hidden worry. If Jiu You's Sparrow Clan learns of this matter, they probably won't let the matter rest."
"I'm already of age, so this is my own matter. Even my parents won't be able to say anything. If there really is trouble in the future, I will protect him," Jiu You said indifferently.
The corner of Mu Chen's mouth involuntarily twitched. "I'm not interested in living off a woman."
However, Jiu You paid no attention to his protests, leaving behind a 'you guys can continue chatting' before striding off with his long and alluring legs, leaving behind a graceful and beautiful figure.
"What a proud girl. Mu Chen, it looks like there's still a long way to go before you can subdue this proud little sparrow."
Ling Xi looked at Jiu You's beautiful figure as she faintly smiled. In the next moment, she lazily stretched out her jade-like arms, causing the voluptuous curves wrapped under her white dress to become even more obvious.
Mu Chen felt helpless.
"Come to my place when you have time in the next few days. Don't fall behind in your Spiritual Array cultivation. Before I leave, I will do my best to teach you everything I can."
"Okay."
Mu Chen smiled as he nodded his head.
For the next few days, Mu Chen quietly stayed in Hokuang Reiwon. Most of the time, he would be in Ling Xi's Spiritual Academy, discussing with her about Spiritual Array cultivation. When he finished his cultivation, he would be partying with everyone in the Goddess Luo Association. In the past, when he was in Hokuang Reiwon, he would spend most of his time cultivating. But now that he was about to leave, he started to feel a genuine reluctance to part with it.
He liked the smile of everyone in the Goddess Luo Association. In this place, they didn't need to care about the so-called identity, since they were all members of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
Perhaps it would be much more difficult to see such a smile in the future when he entered the Great Thousand World. After all, it would no longer be a worry-free ivory tower over there.
Every night, when night fell, Mu Chen would sit alone on the mountain peak and raise his head to look at the starry sky. In the past, there would be a young lady quietly sitting beside him. She would gently lean her head on his shoulder. That feeling of attachment made Mu Chen extremely fond of it. At that time, he would feel as if he had become her world, supporting her.
But now that the person beside him was no longer around, that feeling could only exist in his memories.
Slowly lying on the grass, Mu Chen gently closed his eyes as he slowly clenched his fists.
Luo Li, wait for me.
After Mu Chen quietly stayed in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy for approximately ten days, he finally waited for the return of the Northern Sea Dragon with some apprehension.
When he heard the news of the Northern Sea Dragon's return, the first thing Mu Chen did was rush to the main hall and saw the Northern Sea Dragon with a smile on his face.
Seeing his smile, Mu Chen instantly felt relieved.
"Of the Five Great Academies, the Holy Spirit House's Tensei, that old fart, did not agree to it. But fortunately, the other three Deans agreed, so that fellow had nothing to say." The Northern Sea Dragon looked at Mu Chen as he smiled.
At this moment, even with Mu Chen's composure, he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.
"When do you want to use the Mirror of Judgement?"
"Can I use it now?" Mu Chen impatiently asked.
"Then let's do it now."
The Northern Sea Dragon wasn't surprised by Mu Chen's impatience. With a smile, he nodded his head. With a wave of his hand, a spatial crack was torn open in the space before him, before he took a step into it.
"Follow me."
Nodding his head, Mu Chen immediately followed behind him, with Jiu You also following behind him.
As Mu Chen stepped into the spatial crack, the scene before him instantly changed. It seemed to be a small space, one that wasn't big, with only a stretch of primal chaos present within. At this moment, an ancient copper mirror that was thousands of feet wide was quietly floating within this small space, while indescribably frightening fluctuations quietly undulated, causing the surrounding space to continuously vibrate.
Within the space, there was a stone staircase that extended all the way to the front of the ancient copper mirror. Bringing Mu Chen and Jiu You to this place, the Northern Sea Dragon handed a copper seal over to Mu Chen.
"By activating this item, you will be able to use the Mirror of Judgement. However, you will not be able to use it as an attack, because a Divine Artifact of this level isn't something that you can use right now. If you recklessly use it, you will suffer a backlash instead."
Receiving the copper seal, Mu Chen nodded his head.
"I'll head out first."
With a smile, the Northern Sea Dragon moved, disappearing into thin air. He did not insist on staying in this place. Although he was curious as to why Mu Chen wanted to borrow the Mirror of Judgement, he did not ask about it. After all, everyone had their own secrets.
Following the departure of the Northern Sea Dragon, this space turned silent. Raising his head, Mu Chen looked at the gigantic Mirror of Judgement, before grabbing onto the copper seal and pouring Spiritual Energy into it.
A faint radiance shot out from his hand, shooting straight into the dusky surface of the Mirror of Judgement.
Buzz.
Fine ripples spread out on the surface of the mirror, before the Mirror of Judgement gradually became clear. However, the surface of the mirror was extremely abstruse, like the night sky, emitting a mysterious feeling.
Looking at this scene, Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of air, before spreading his palm out. As light flickered, the mysterious Immortal Page appeared in a flash.
With a flick of his finger, the Immortal Page flew out and hovered in front of the Mirror of Judgement.
Buzz.
The surface of the mirror fluctuated as strands of light circulated. In the end, those strands of light turned into a ray of light and shot out, enveloping the Immortal Page. Buzz.
Buzz.
As the light enveloped the Mirror of Judgement, it suddenly violently trembled. The ripples that were originally fluctuating on the surface of the mirror showed signs of losing control.
Looking at this scene, Mu Chen and Jiu You had nervous expressions on their faces. The Immortal Catalog was indeed terrifying. Even with an Immortal Page as a primer, it still nearly caused the Mirror of Judgement to lose control.
Their gazes were tightly fixed on the surface of the Mirror of Judgement. Not even a few minutes had passed, it was still a patch of darkness.
This situation caused Mu Chen's brows to tightly knit together.
"Is the Immortal Catalog so terrifying that even the Mirror of Judgement is unable to detect any traces of it?" Jiu You sighed. It was truly worthy of being the legendary Primal Celestial Body.
Mu Chen did not speak, he did not even blink his eyes.
Another few minutes passed like this. The disappointment in Mu Chen's eyes grew more and more intense. Jiu You could only lightly pat his shoulder to comfort him.
However, just when Mu Chen and Jiu You were completely disappointed, violent ripples finally appeared on the surface of the mirror that had been motionless. A blurry image started to appear on the pitch-black surface of the mirror.
Mu Chen and Jiu You's expressions shook as ecstasy surged out from their eyes. Had it finally been detected?
