This was a vast azure ocean. The ocean was vast and boundless, as if there was no end in sight. Occasionally, there would be fish-shaped Spiritual Beasts leaping out of the ocean, bringing along torrential waves.
Chi Chi.
The space above the ocean suddenly became distorted at this moment. Soon after, wild and violent spatial ripples raged as a spatial vortex was formed. Soon after, two light figures rushed out from the spatial vortex and appeared in the sky above the ocean.
When the two of them appeared, they looked at each other before sweeping their gazes out. Looking at the vast ocean, they were slightly stunned.
"Where is this?" Mu Chen asked blankly as he scratched his head.
Jiu You was clearly more experienced than Mu Chen. She slowly took out a scroll that flickered with light and unfolded it. The scroll was filled with complicated light patterns. Vaguely, it seemed to be an indescribably huge map.
Her beautiful eyes swept across the map, before her slender jadelike finger pointed towards a certain region on the map. With a gentle tap, ripples appeared on the map, before it started to enlarge and became increasingly clear. In the end, a glowing dot appeared on that region.
"Look, we're currently here. This is the ocean outside of the Northern Heavens Continent. If we continue forward, we'll be able to enter the Southern Mountain Continent. At that time, we'll be able to make use of the Teleportation Spiritual Array to head to the other continents."
Staring at the map, Mu Chen's eyes were filled with astonishment. He could sense that there was a pretty strong Spiritual Energy ripple coming from the map.
"This is a Spiritual Artifact?" Mu Chen said in astonishment.
"Yeah, this is a Spiritual Diagram.
It's specially used to record maps in the Great Thousand World. Generally, those who are training outside would prepare a copy. I prepared this one back then. If we didn't have this Spiritual Diagram, it wouldn't be easy for us to reach the Greatlaw Continent. "Jiu You lightly nodded her head.
"With Jiu You at home, I don't have to worry about anything." Mu Chen flattered with a smile.
These were heartfelt words. If he had come out alone, he would not even know what to do. How could he be like Jiu You, who had prepared everything?
Nine Nether rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
"Then how long will it take for us to reach the Skylaw Continent?" Mu Chen asked.
"If we want to reach the Heaven Luo Continent, we will have to pass through at least dozens of continents, and use the teleportation array to teleport in turn.
It will take nearly two months to reach the Greatlaw Continent. "Jiu You faintly said.
"Two months?" The corner of Mu Chen's mouth twitched.
"Don't even think about relaxing during these two months." Jiu You looked at Mu Chen.
Her pretty face became much more serious.
She said, "Mu Chen, you should be clear that you have already left Hokuang Reiwon, and the place we are going to is no longer an ivory tower.
In this Great Thousand World, strength is everything. If you don't have enough strength, no one will look at you. "
"Even.
Even in the Great Havenlaw Domain that I'm in, it's not peaceful.
The scheming and scheming over there cannot be compared to the small squabbles in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Although I will do my best to protect you there, I know that with your character, you do not wish for it to be like that. "
When Mu Chen heard this, he lightly smiled and said, "Rest assured, I have long understood these principles."
The Great Havenlaw Domain wasn't like the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. There wouldn't be anyone helping him wholeheartedly in his cultivation. If he couldn't climb up by himself, then he would probably be ruthlessly stepped on by others.
Only then did Nine Nether lightly nod her head. "Although you've successfully stepped into the Sovereign Realm, you're not even a First Grade Sovereign."
"Because I have yet to refine a Sovereign Celestial Body?"
Mu Chen said calmly. At this moment, he could also refine a Sovereign Celestial Body, but the Sovereign Celestial Body that he would refine would be rather ordinary. Aside from the Great Solar Undying Body, he did not have any other Sovereign Celestial Body cultivation technique. Furthermore, he did not want to waste the precious Sovereign Spiritual Liquid on such an ordinary Sovereign Celestial Body. He was clear that after he gathered the two remaining materials for the Great Solar Undying Body, he would definitely require a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
Since he wanted to cultivate, then he definitely did not want to take an ordinary path.
"This is only one of the reasons."
Jiu You lightly nodded her head as she continued, "The reason why the Sovereign Realm is a dividing line in the path of cultivation, aside from the Sovereign Sea and Sovereign Celestial Body, is that the Spiritual Energy of a Sovereign Realm expert possesses spirituality. It's a power that far surpasses ordinary Spiritual Energy in terms of quality."
"Spirituality?"
Mu Chen lightly frowned her brows.
"Many Supreme-Being experts have unique attributes in their Spiritual Energy. Some people's Spiritual Energy is cold, while some people's Spiritual Energy is violent and blazing. This is because their Spiritual Energy has spirituality, so its power is extraordinary."
Mu Chen fell into deep thoughts. He vaguely remembered that back in the Northern Heavens Continent, the helper invited by the Demonic Dragon Palace, the Immeasurable Old Ancestor, had extremely powerful Spiritual Energy. The moment he made a move, the cold and pitch-black ocean swept out. That ocean was actually formed from his Spiritual Energy. It was extremely overbearing, far surpassing ordinary Spiritual Energy.
"Then how can I make my Spiritual Energy possess spirituality?" Mu Chen asked in a low voice.
"Do you still remember when your spiritual power fused with my Jiu You Fire?
At that time, your spiritual power will be slightly more powerful than ordinary spiritual power. To some extent, the two of them are somewhat similar, but the only difference is between a Junior Magus and a Senior Magus. "
Mu Chen was instantly enlightened. In simple terms, this so-called spirituality was fusing with other substances within one's Spiritual Energy, allowing one's Spiritual Energy to undergo a transformation and become even more powerful.
Although it was easy to say, it was extremely difficult to accomplish. That's because one's Spiritual Energy could not be fused with just anything. Once one's Spiritual Energy rejected it, not only would it not be able to evolve, it would also cause a backlash and cause one to be heavily injured.
"What kind of material should I choose to fuse with?" Mu Chen asked.
Most of the Supreme-Being experts.
They would choose places with extreme Yin, extreme cold, or extreme heat and extreme Yang to absorb those strange energies and fuse them with their spirit force. This method was the simplest and easiest, but it would increase the power of their spirit force.
However, it was limited.
"You've fused with the Jiu You Fire before, so your Spiritual Energy should be more compatible with fire-attributed materials. Furthermore, you've also cultivated the Thunder God's Physique, so you should be more suitable for lightning."
Jiu You muttered, "You're currently unable to obtain a powerful lightning source to fuse with thunder-attributed materials, so you can only put it aside for the time being. As for flames, my Undying Flame should be a good choice.
It should be a good choice. "
Mu Chen's eyes lit up. This wasn't just a good choice, it was simply perfect.
The current him was no longer the rookie he was in the past.
Therefore, he was well aware of how powerful the Undying Flame was. Most importantly, the Undying Flame possessed an extremely mysterious characteristic.
That was' Undying '.
Of course, this didn't mean that one wouldn't die with the Undying Flame. It was because the Undying Flame possessed a powerful regenerative ability.
No matter how heavy the injury was, as long as one's spirit wasn't instantly destroyed, the Undying Flame would be able to gradually heal the injury.
With the 'Undying Flame', one would be able to gain the upper hand in a fight in terms of endurance.
Mu Chen's eyes lit up for a moment.
Shortly after, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Jiu You.
With a bitter smile, he said, "But if I do that, it will definitely cause some injuries to you, right?"
Although Jiu You possessed the Undying Flame, it didn't come out of thin air. She also needed to expend a large amount of energy and time in order to cultivate the Undying Flame. If Mu Chen wanted to completely transform the Spiritual Energy in his body, then he would definitely need a relatively large amount of Undying Flame.
To Jiu You, this should be a huge burden.
Jiu You didn't comment on that, but cast a glance at Mu Chen with his long and narrow eyes. "Although there will be some obstacles, it won't be too big of a problem."
"But …"
"From today onwards, you will travel in the day and start fusing with the Undying Flame at night. The bottom line that I'll give you is that you must complete the transformation of your Spiritual Energy before we reach the Greatlaw Continent!" Jiu You didn't give Mu Chen the opportunity to object as she said in an indifferent tone.
"If you can't do it …" A dangerous arc rose on Jiu You's rosy lips.
"Then don't blame me for being impolite!"
She casually slapped down with her palm, causing the ocean below to collapse. A massive Spiritual Beast that had just leapt up was instantly slapped to death.
The corner of Mu Chen's mouth couldn't help twitching as he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He was well-aware of Jiu You's character. If it really came to that, she might really give him a beating. That big sister of hers was simply too violent.
"Do you have any objections?"
Jiu You chuckled as she looked at Mu Chen. Her appearance was extremely beautiful, but it made Mu Chen break out in a cold sweat as he immediately shook his head.
"That's good, let's go."
Jiu You nodded her head in satisfaction.
"Fly across the ocean?"
Mu Chen was stunned as he said, "Why don't you revert to your original form and let me ride you? Wouldn't it be faster that way?"
But when he spoke those words, he immediately felt that something was amiss. That's because Jiu You's brows were slightly raised. However, she still maintained her smile as she looked at Mu Chen. Her smile was even a little charming as she leisurely walked forth with her face blushing. "Little Brother Mu Chen, do you really want to ride this big sister?"
Mu Chen dryly smiled as he turned around and fled.
"Bang!"
Not long after he flew out, a violent Spiritual Energy enveloped him from the sky. A pair of gigantic cloud-like wings violently swatted down. With a boom, he was ruthlessly slapped into the ocean.
When Mu Chen emerged from the ocean, a beautiful figure streaked across the sky as a lovable laughter resounded.
"You're not allowed to come out. Swim out of this ocean is also part of your training."
Mu Chen was filled with grief and indignation as he clenched his teeth. He muttered to himself, "A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. I'll endure it for now. In the future, when I'm stronger than her, I'll definitely press her down on my thighs and give her a good spanking."
"Jiu You, just you wait!"
The youth did his best to swim as he roared in his heart.
