Mu Chen's consciousness drifted in the darkness. There wasn't any light here and he was in a state of unconsciousness. He didn't know how much time had passed as he drifted.
This drifting continued for an unknown period of time, before a peculiar fluctuation suddenly rippled out from within the darkness. One could only see strange black flames rising from the center of the darkness, before abruptly converging together.
The black flame condensed and turned into a giant black bird that roared towards the sky. Then, it seemed to have discovered Mu Chen's drifting consciousness. With a sharp cry, it turned into a black flame and fiercely charged towards his consciousness.
Ah!
Mu Chen let out a scream. His body reflexively sat up. His forehead was filled with cold sweat and his eyes were filled with fear.
"Little Mu is awake?!"
"The Young Master is awake!"
Just when Mu Chen's heart was palpitating from this scene, a joyful voice suddenly came from his surroundings. He raised his head in a daze and saw that he was currently on a stretcher. Around him, Zhou Ye, Duan Wei and the others were looking at him with a happy expression.
"Are you awake?"
Mu Feng's familiar and surprised voice also came over. Then, he quickly walked over and saw that An Ran was fine. Mu Chen also let out a sigh of relief.
"Dad, what's going on?"
Mu Chen rubbed his slightly aching head and asked.
"You were affected by the flames from the Jiu You Sparrow's self-destruction. Then, you fainted until now. Fortunately, it seems that you're fine."
Mu Feng was somewhat relieved. If something happened to Mu Chen, he really didn't know how he would face it.
Mu Chen was startled when he heard this. He vaguely remembered that before he fainted, he was attacked by a black flame.
"What about the Jiu You Sparrow?
Is it done for? "Mu Chen shook his head and asked.
"Yes."
Mu Feng nodded with some regret. After the Jiu You Sparrow self-destructed, nothing was left behind. This time, they really did not gain anything. However, this was also good. At least, the Liu Territory could only return empty-handed. For the Mu Territory, this operation was considered a success. After all, their goal, other than the Jiu You Sparrow, was to stop the Liu Territory.
Mu Chen also felt that it was quite a pity. That was a powerful existence that was ranked eleventh on the Myriad Beast Record's Earth Ranking. It wasn't something that could be easily encountered. If he could refine the Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence, he really couldn't imagine how powerful it would be.
"We have already passed through the Black Eerie Swamp and are rushing back to the Mu Territory."
Zhou Ye also said with a smile, "This trip to the Black Eerie Swamp is all thanks to Little Mu. Otherwise, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to catch up to the Liu Territory, let alone see that shocking scene."
"Haha, that's right. The Domain Lord has a successor. Congratulations."
Duan Wei and the others also said with a smile. During this trip to the Black Eerie Swamp, Mu Chen had made them look at him in a different light.
When Mu Feng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a bit proud. He immediately waved his hand and said: "After we return from this operation, everyone should be more vigilant. The Liu Territory returned empty-handed, so they will definitely resent the Mu Territory. With their temperament, I'm afraid that they won't give up so easily."
When everyone heard this, they all agreed and increased their speed. Although they had already left the Black Eerie Swamp, when they thought about the earth-shattering scene, they felt a chill in their hearts. They only wanted to leave that place as far as possible.
Mu Chen sat on the stretcher and immediately touched his head. Then, he turned around and stared at the Black Eerie Swamp far behind him. He didn't know why, but he had a strange feeling that the Jiu You Sparrow didn't seem to have died.
Two days later, Mu Feng and the others returned to the Mu Territory. When the travel-worn group thought about the dangers of this trip, they secretly let out a sigh of relief. They had finally returned alive.
Mu Feng dismissed everyone and let them have a good rest. As for Mu Chen, he wandered around for a bit before returning to his room. Then, he fell into a deep sleep. It was evident that he was quite tired from these past few days.
When Mu Chen woke up from his deep sleep, it was already late at night. He stared at the silent night and was slightly dazed for a moment. Then, he stretched his waist.
"It's time to cultivate."
Mu Chen chuckled. Then, he crossed his legs and closed his eyes. Soon, he entered into a cultivation state. Around his body, the air slightly fluctuated. Traces of Spiritual Aura within the world were attracted over and entered Mu Chen's body through his nostrils.
This training state of his continued for around an hour or so, before he suddenly opened his eyes. In the darkness of the night, his pitch-black eyes appeared exceptionally astonished, as well as a joy that was difficult to hide.
This was because he noticed that the Spiritual Energy within his aurasea had actually appeared to be full. This meant that he had reached the peak of the Spiritual Movement Stage Late Phase. This also meant that he could naturally attack the Spiritual Rotation Stage!
"It's actually this fast."
Mu Chen was extremely happy. He originally thought that the time would be extended for another half a month or so. He never thought that it would be this fast. It seems that this trip to the Black Eerie Swamp was quite beneficial to him.
After a moment, Mu Chen gradually suppressed the joy within his heart. He clenched his hand and a small, exquisite jade box appeared in his hand. Inside the jade box, there was a round, jade-like pill. It was the reward that he had obtained from the Northern Spiritual Field Experiential Training, the Accumulation Spirit Pill.
This kind of pill was extremely helpful to those who were attacking the Spiritual Rotation Stage. Mu Chen had never casually used it and was waiting for the most suitable time. And now, the time had come.
Mu Chen took the jade-like pill and smelled its faint fragrance. His mind became increasingly clear and he no longer hesitated. He opened his mouth and stuffed the Accumulation Spirit Pill into it.
Buzz.
The Accumulation Spirit Pill melted in his mouth and instantly turned into surging Spiritual Energy. Like a torrent, it poured into Mu Chen's body.
Mu Chen tightly closed his eyes and operated the Great Pagoda Art. He refined the vigorous Spiritual Energy bit by bit and poured it into his aurasea in a steady stream.
As a large amount of Spiritual Energy poured into his aurasea, a significant change occurred. The originally nebula-like Spiritual Energy ball began to slowly shrink. As it shrank, Mu Chen could feel that the Spiritual Energy within his body seemed to become even purer and sharper.
If he wanted to attack the Spiritual Rotation Stage, he would need a large amount of Spiritual Energy. Fortunately, Mu Chen had the Accumulation Elixir. This step saved him a lot of trouble. He stabilized his mind and slowly refined the elixir's medicinal effects. Then, he sent it all into his aurasea.
Within his aurasea, the palm-sized ball of Spiritual Energy aura was now the size of an egg. However, the edges of the aura ball had started to become round and smooth. The Spiritual Energy that was originally pitch-black in colour had also become increasingly abstruse.
The Spiritual Energy ball of Spiritual Energy was still constantly being compressed. The Spiritual Energy was also constantly being sent into his aurasea by Mu Chen.
This process continued for around ten minutes. The egg-sized Spiritual Energy ball of Spiritual Energy stopped at the size of a pigeon's egg. In the end, the compression completely stopped.
Mu Chen sensed the changes within his aurasea and his mind hurriedly drilled into it. Then, he saw a pigeon egg-sized, pitch-black Spiritual Energy light wheel slowly floating in the air.
This Spiritual Energy light wheel was several times smaller than the previous ball of Spiritual Energy. However, Mu Chen could feel how vigorous the Spiritual Energy contained within it was.
It far surpassed the previous Spiritual Movement Stage Late Phase!
Mu Chen stared at the small and exquisite Spiritual Energy light wheel. He could not help but feel joy gushing out from his heart. He had finally broken through the Spiritual Movement Stage and truly advanced into the Spiritual Rotation Stage.
Just based on this, he had already reached the most basic recruitment requirements of the "Five Great Academies".
Although he was not surprised that he had reached this step, the feeling of becoming stronger was still incomparably wonderful. Perhaps those fellows in the Spiritual Road had completed the last step and possessed strength that far surpassed his, but so what?
I, Mu Chen, was not inferior to any of you in the Spiritual Road. In this Great Thousand World, I can also do the same!
Mu Chen tightly pursed his lips. On the handsome face of the youth, there was a bone-deep arrogance and stubbornness.
Following the successful condensation of the Spiritual Wheel, Mu Chen's mood also completely relaxed. Just when he was about to exit this state, a familiar clear sound suddenly resounded in his mind.
Screech!
That clear cry wasn't too resounding. However, it made Mu Chen feel as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body turned stiff as a buzzing sound resounded within his mind.
Boom!
Just when Mu Chen's mind had lost its ability to think due to the clear ringing sound, he was shocked to discover that an extremely ferocious fluctuation had suddenly appeared from within his body. Thereafter, it charged towards his mind, as if it wanted to devour his consciousness!
A Spiritual Essence devouring its owner?!
This situation caused Mu Chen, who was a little dumbfounded, to feel his body turning cold in an instant as shock gushed out from his eyes.
