Mu Chen's heart was as calm as water, even the Spiritual Energy around him had been quietly retracted, like a bottomless pond. But when his heart had calmed down, torrential waves started to surge in the Sovereign Sea in his body.
Whoosh.
In the vast purple Sovereign Sea, huge waves swept up as splashing sounds of water resounded. A massive surge of Spiritual Energy was gathering in the Sovereign Sea.
If he wanted to refine the Sovereign Celestial Body, he would require a terrifying amount of Spiritual Energy, and right now, Mu Chen had to make preparations for it.
In the surging Sovereign Sea, a golden light slowly rose up and sat on the waves. It was Mu Chen's Spirit. At this moment, the face of the Spirit was filled with graveness.
Hu.
A mouthful of Spiritual Energy mixed with a purple-coloured flame slowly spewed out from the mouth of the Spirit. In the next instant, its expression abruptly turned solemn as both of its hands furiously formed a complicated and peculiar seal.
Boom!
In that instant when Mu Chen formed his seals, a huge rumbling noise resounded in the Sovereign Sea as huge pillars of Spiritual Energy burst out from the Sovereign Sea.
Dong!
Dong!
The glowing Spiritual Energy pillars soared into the sky, before abruptly diving down. Akin to gigantic dragons, they violently smashed against each other in a shocking fashion.
Torrential waves rose in the entire Sovereign Sea as a dazzling purple light spread out in the sky of the Sovereign Sea. At the centre of the collision, the violent Spiritual Energy caused space to distort.
Mu Chen's Spirit raised its head and stared at the resplendent land. Soon after, its small hands formed another seal.
Boom.
His Sovereign Sea trembled once again as countless Spiritual Energies soared into the sky like anacondas, before whistling towards the purple light. It was a scene that looked like a whale sucking in water, it was extremely majestic.
Boundless Spiritual Energy continued to gather there, and as the boundless Spiritual Energy continued to pour into the land of purple light, the land of purple light began to emit light.
It was also getting more and more resplendent.
Amidst the dazzling light, one could vaguely see a huge glowing figure slowly taking shape.
This was the first step in cultivating the Sovereign Celestial Body, using one's own Spiritual Energy to condense the initial form of the Sovereign Celestial Body.
For this step, he could only rely on his own spiritual energy.
In the vast Sovereign Sea, there were constantly huge pillars of Spiritual Energy that soared into the sky along with the palm of Mu Chen's Spirit, before pouring into the huge light figure.
The boundless Spiritual Energy in his Sovereign Sea was clearly being consumed at a shocking speed.
However, for Mu Chen, whose cultivation foundation was quite solid, this step was very difficult.
Clearly, it did not pose much of a threat.
The Spiritual Energy in his Sovereign Sea.
It was completely cultivated by himself. Coupled with the fact that he had integrated with the Undying Flames, the quality of his Spiritual Energy was far superior to that of ordinary Supreme-Beings.
Therefore …
This process lasted for roughly ten minutes, before the turmoil in his Sovereign Sea gradually calmed down. The sky of his Sovereign Sea was filled with dazzling purple light.
Mu Chen's Spirit raised its head as it looked at the purple sky.
There, the sky suddenly fluctuated as a massive purple figure that was roughly a thousand feet in size slowly stood up.
In the end, it stood in the sky as a terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuation rippled around its body.
The initial form of the Sovereign Celestial Body was formed!
Mu Chen looked at the huge purple figure.
He inwardly felt relieved, but shortly after, he tensed up again. That's because he knew that the real cultivation had just begun.
"Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi, transform!"
A soft voice rang out in Mu Chen's heart.
In the Cultivation Chamber, the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi that was floating before Mu Chen suddenly trembled, before turning into a dazzling beam of light that shot straight into Mu Chen's mouth.
Boom!
The sky above his Sovereign Sea seemed to have been torn apart as a dazzling light descended from the sky. It was as if a blazing sun had descended. Within the light, a swaying Lingzhi could be seen. On the Lingzhi, there seemed to be nine blazing suns rising from it.
Mu Chen's Spirit stretched its finger out as it pointed at the sky.
"Nine Suns as the body."
The Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi was controlled as it instantly descended, landing on the head of the huge purple figure. Bit by bit, it slid down from the head of the huge figure.
When the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi entered the body of the huge figure, it suddenly split apart. Nine blazing suns shot out and hovered on the head, heart, limbs and other important positions of the huge figure.
Sizzle.
When the nine blazing suns returned to their positions, they instantly ignited, emitting a frightening temperature. The massive Spiritual Energy in the huge figure was actually being incinerated at a shocking speed.
The huge figure was also swiftly shrinking. According to this speed, the embryonic form of the Sovereign Celestial Body that Mu Chen had painstakingly refined would probably be incinerated by the nine blazing suns in less than a dozen breaths' time.
The moment the embryonic form of the Sovereign Celestial Body was incinerated, Mu Chen's previous efforts would all go to waste.
In the Cultivation Chamber, Mu Chen's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened as he flicked his finger. The Mustard Seed Bracelet on his wrist trembled as a current gushed out.
When the current gushed out, a dense mist instantly rose in the chamber. The mist was formed from Spiritual Energy. That's because the current was like a small stream that was formed from Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
There were at least ten thousand drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in that stream!
Mu Chen already knew that if he wanted to refine the Great Solar Undying Body, he would require a massive amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Therefore, he had been making Jiu You break the seal in the Spiritual Condensing Bowl for the past few days. Thus, he had obtained nearly fifty thousand drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
It was a massive amount and Mu Chen could sense that this amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid had probably taken up more than half of the Spiritual Energy stored in the Spiritual Condensing Bowl.
But to successfully refine the Great Solar Undying Body, the price of fifty thousand drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was clearly worth it!
The moment the Spiritual Energy stream formed from Sovereign Spiritual Liquid appeared, it was sucked into Mu Chen's mouth. Immediately, his body trembled. He did not dare to allow such a terrifying amount of Spiritual Energy to stay in his body. He had directly poured it into his Sovereign Sea and into the embryonic form of the Sovereign Celestial Body.
Rumble!
In the sky above the Sovereign Sea, there were countless cracks as Spiritual Energy poured down, pouring into the Sovereign Celestial Body in every direction.
Sizzle!
With the addition of such a huge amount of spiritual power.
The shrinking speed of the embryonic form of the Sovereign Celestial Body had finally slowed down. Boundless Spiritual Energy was constantly being incinerated by the nine blazing suns. However, every single time a surge of Spiritual Energy was being incinerated, a golden mist would rise and rise in spirals, before being absorbed by the massive embryonic form of the Sovereign Celestial Body.
Thus, tiny golden spots started to appear on the massive body of the Sovereign Celestial Body that was covered in purple light.
Under the burning of the nine blazing suns.
His spiritual power was being consumed at a terrifying rate.
In less than half a day.
The stream of Spiritual Energy formed from ten thousand drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was completely incinerated.
The effect of the stream of Spiritual Energy was to gradually light up the embryonic form of the Sovereign Celestial Body with golden spots.
More and more.
Mu Chen's God Soul seal changed.
The sky cracked once again as cracks appeared. Another Spiritual Energy current descended. Clearly, he had used the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid that he had prepared once again.
If the first step was to rely on the strength of one's Spiritual Energy, then the second step would depend on the strength of one's wallet.
The speed of the Spiritual Energy consumption of the Great Solar Undying Body made Mu Chen a little startled. If it wasn't for the fact that he had obtained the Spiritual Condensing Bowl in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, there was a huge amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid that was stored by an ancient sect.
Furthermore, there was a huge amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid that was stored by an Ancient Sect. Even if he managed to gather all the materials, he would fail due to the fact that he couldn't gather such a huge amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
After all, ordinary Sovereign Celestial Bodies required Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
A thousand or two drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was already the limit. But this amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
Mu Chen quietly breathed out in his heart as he focused his mind. For the second step, he only needed to constantly use Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to water the embryonic form of the Sovereign Celestial Body.
He had been watering for almost eight days in an instant.
In the past eight days, the pouring of Spiritual Energy had practically never stopped. Naturally, the 50,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid had also been completely exhausted up until now.
When the last drop of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was used, even with Mu Chen's composure, he couldn't help feeling a little shocked. He knew that if others knew that he had used 50,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to refine the Sovereign Celestial Body, they would probably be scared silly.
However, the 50,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid clearly had a great effect.
In the Sovereign Sea
Mu Chen's Spirit raised his head and saw a light figure that was a thousand feet in size standing in the sky. That light figure was no longer purple, it had completely turned golden.
The golden light spread out to every corner of its body. Looking from afar, it looked like a golden buddha that was mysterious and oppressive. A formless pressure enveloped out, making it extremely terrifying.
Mu Chen could clearly sense that within the golden light figure, the nine blazing suns were still blazing. However, it could no longer burn the Sovereign Celestial Body.
That's because the current Sovereign Celestial Body had already started to take shape.
The second step of the "Nine Suns as the Body" had finally succeeded!
Mu Chen felt heavily relieved in his heart. After a long while, his body tensed up once again as the gaze in his eyes grew even more grave. That's because he knew that the next step would be the most dangerous step of cultivating the "Great Solar Undying Body".
If he couldn't endure it, then all his hard work would go down the drain.
In the Cultivation Chamber, Mu Chen opened his eyes as he stared at a fruit before him. It was the Void Great Solar Fruit. The terrifying Spiritual Energy contained in this fruit was even more overbearing than the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi.
Mu Chen stared at it. In the next instant, his gaze abruptly turned firm as he grabbed onto the Void Great Solar Fruit and stuffed it into his mouth. His black pupils were filled with stubbornness.
After years of planning, he didn't want to fall here!
Great Solar Body Refinement!
(It's late.)
