When Mu Chen woke up in the morning, his mind was still in a mess. If it was not for the dark purple Mandala Flower and the Jiu You Sparrow that was still trapped on the black paper in his Qi Sea, he would have thought that what happened last night was just a dream.
"Damned beast."
After a long while, Mu Chen finally accepted this reality. He fiercely rubbed his face with his palm and angrily cursed. Although the Jiu You Sparrow was trapped by the mysterious black paper, Mu Chen still felt uneasy. After all, the Jiu You Sparrow was really too powerful. It was extremely weak now, but once it recovered a little in the future, what if the mysterious black paper could no longer trap it?
If this thing remained in his body, it would always be an unstable bomb that could cause him to be battered and exhausted at any time.
Only after experiencing the ferocity and unruliness of the Jiu You Sparrow, did he understand how naive it was to think about refining it. Based on the arrogance of the Jiu You Sparrow, if anyone tried to forcefully refine it, Mu Chen could guarantee that this damned feathered beast would definitely fight to the death with him.
What was the use of holding onto this kind of Spirit Beast Essence?
After viciously cursing the Jiu You Sparrow in his heart, Mu Chen gradually calmed himself down. Since things had already come to this, no matter how he vented, it would be useless. Fortunately, the Jiu You Sparrow was trapped by the mysterious black paper. He should still have some time to think of a way to deal with the Jiu You Sparrow.
Mu Chen got up, tidied up a little, and left the room. He walked toward the place where he usually learned Spiritual Arrays from Mister Wen Ling.
After the trip to the Black Eerie Swamp, Mu Chen also experienced the power of Spiritual Arrays, and his interest in them grew even more.
Furthermore, the ones he had used were only small Spiritual Formations that couldn't even be considered as Rank 1 Spiritual Formations.
In the usual cultivation room, Mu Chen did not see Mr. Wen Ling. He thought that Mr. Wen Ling must have come early, but he was not impatient. He sat down on the futon.
Afterwards, he muttered to himself. Now that he had officially entered the Spiritual Rotation Stage, he could feel that the density of the Spiritual Energy in his body had increased by a lot.
Moreover, his control over his spiritual power had also become more skillful.
"I wonder how many Spiritual Seals I can form now?"
Mu Chen muttered to himself. There was some anticipation in his eyes as he extended his hand.
He twirled his palm.
Dark-black Spiritual Energy gushed out and wrapped around his palm. The speed and density of the Spiritual Energy made Mu Chen quite satisfied. As expected of the Spiritual Rotation Stage, the efficiency of the Spiritual Energy was far beyond that of the Spiritual Movement Stage Late Phase.
Dark-black Spiritual Energy quickly condensed and changed at Mu Chen's fingertips. Eight Spiritual Seals were condensed at a very fast speed.
Then, Mu Chen's fingertips moved. The ninth Spiritual Seal.
It was also quietly condensed.
Mu Chen stared at the ninth Spiritual Seal and did not stop. Dark-black Spiritual Energy continued to condense, followed by the tenth and eleventh Spiritual Seals. Finally, it stopped at the number of twelve Spiritual Seals.
Mu Chen looked at the twelve Spiritual Seals on his palm and was barely satisfied. He could feel that this should not be his limit. However, he had just advanced to the Spiritual Rotation Stage and needed some time to stabilize. At that time, he believed that he would be able to do better.
Mu Chen smiled at his own progress. He clenched his fist and the twelve Spiritual Seals disappeared. Then, he heard footsteps outside the door. The door was pushed open and Wen Ling walked in.
"Mr. Wen."
Seeing this, Mu Chen hurriedly stood up and bowed.
Wen Ling waved his hand. He looked at the boy in front of him and a smile appeared on his usually stern face. He said: "I heard from the Territory Lord that you used a small Spiritual Array in the Black Eerie Swamp. You learned very quickly."
Wen Ling was invited by Mu Feng to teach Mu Chen Spiritual Arrays. For the latter to be able to learn it so quickly, it was a great honor for him. However, he had to admit that this was mostly because Mu Chen had quite a bit of talent in learning Spiritual Arrays.
Mu Chen smiled embarrassedly. His small Spiritual Arrays could only trick those Spiritual Beasts that did not have high intelligence.
"I'm afraid that you'll have to learn by yourself for the next two days."
Wen Ling looked at Mu Chen and said: "Your father plans to construct a Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array in the Mu City. I am unable to construct a Spirit Convergence Array of this level by myself. Therefore, your father has spent a lot of money to invite three Rank 1 Spiritual Array Masters to help him. During this time, I will try to see if I can succeed with them."
"Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array" Mu Chen was a bit surprised. Within the entire Northern Spiritual Realm, the only Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array was within the Northern Spiritual Academy. As for a Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array, only the Liu Territory possessed it. Even the Mu Territory only had a Rank 1 Spirit Convergence Array. This was something that his father had always been worried about. After all, a Spirit Convergence Array was a symbol of how powerful a force was. The reason why the Liu Territory was able to become the strongest territory within the Nine Territories was because of the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array.
However, a Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array was not easy to construct. Even some Rank 2 Spiritual Array Masters were not confident that they could successfully construct it. Moreover, constructing a Spirit Convergence Array required a large amount of rare materials. The cost of constructing it was extremely high. Once it failed, it would be extremely painful for the Mu Territory. Therefore, Mu Feng had been enduring for the past few years and did not recklessly make a move. However, it seemed that his father could not endure it any longer.
However, even if he invited three Rank 1 Spiritual Array Masters to cooperate with Wen Ling, it was still difficult to say if they could successfully construct a Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array.
"Yes, Mister Wen, you can continue with your work." Mu Chen nodded his head.
Wen Ling nodded his head. It seemed that he was a bit troubled by the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array. He did not say anything else and turned around to leave.
"Umm, Mister Wen."
Mu Chen suddenly spoke. He looked at Wen Ling, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression. He hesitated for a moment before saying: "I now have some understanding towards some small Spiritual Arrays. I wonder if Mister Wen could give me a Rank 1 Diagram Array to study?"
Hearing that Mu Chen wanted to study a Rank 1 Diagram Array, Wen Ling frowned. His expression became much more serious: "It's good that you have talent. However, how could you forget what I told you to not bite off more than you can chew?
A rank 1 Spiritual Array requires at least fifteen Spiritual Seals. The complexity of a rank 1 Spiritual Array far surpasses a small Spiritual Array. If you want to study a rank 1 Spiritual Array, you should at least wait until you can condense ten Spiritual Seals. "
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly paused. A look of astonishment surfaced on his solemn face. This was because he saw the youth in front of him raise his hand. On his fingertips, Spirit Seals appeared one after another, reaching the number of ten that he had mentioned.
"You …"
Wen Ling stared at the 10 Spiritual Seals on Mu Chen's fingertips in astonishment. After a long while, he finally regained his senses and looked at Mu Chen with a strange expression. How long had this boy been training in Spiritual Arrays for?
He was actually able to condense ten Spiritual Seals. His talent in this aspect was too amazing.
"Cough."
Wen Ling let out a dry cough and hid the astonishment on his face. He said: "Since you can achieve it, I'll promise you."
As he spoke, he took out a red Diagram Array and handed it to Mu Chen: "This is a relatively simple Rank 1 Spiritual Array. It's called the Spiritual Flame Array. This Spiritual Array requires at least 15 Spiritual Seals to set up. Just observe it for a while and don't try. If the Spiritual Array backfires, it won't be fun."
Mu Chen excitedly received the red Diagram Array and nodded his head.
Seeing this, Wen Ling waved his hand and leisurely turned around to leave. Next, he still had to discuss with the three invited Rank 1 Spiritual Array Masters on how to construct the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array. This was a troublesome matter, but it was also a good opportunity for him. Who knows, he might be able to find an opportunity to improve once again and step into the ranks of a Rank 2 Spiritual Array Master.
Seeing Wen Ling leave, Mu Chen carefully opened the Rank 1 Diagram Array. A red light assaulted his face and faintly carried a scorching aura. Mu Chen focused his mind and looked at it.
On the Diagram Array, rays of red light flashed and extended outwards. They intertwined with each other and formed a rather complicated pattern.
As Mu Chen stared at the Diagram Array, which was enough to make an ordinary person dizzy, he couldn't help but smack his lips. A Rank 1 Spiritual Array was indeed much more complicated than a small Spiritual Array. This made him even more interested.
Mu Chen immersed himself within the "Spiritual Flame Array" and observed the complex Spiritual Lines. Only after a long time did he slowly retract his gaze. Although he was eager to try it out, he did not act recklessly. This Rank 1 Spiritual Array required at least 15 Spiritual Seals as the foundation. It was evident that the current him had not reached this level yet.
"Looks like I'll have to properly condense it next."
Satisfied, Mu Chen put away the Diagram Array. Then, he closed his eyes and began to condense more Spiritual Seals.
In the next few days, Wen Ling was busy constructing the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array and did not have the time to guide Mu Chen. The latter was also happy to be free and spent all his time trying to condense Spiritual Seals.
His hard work had obtained quite a bit of results. As he gradually adapted to the Spiritual Rotation Stage, his control over Spiritual Energy had also become increasingly proficient. Thus, on the fifth day, he finally succeeded in raising the number of Spiritual Seals to the fifteenth.
When the number of Spiritual Seals reached 15, Mu Chen's heart was filled with unconcealable excitement. Then, the excited youth once again took out the Spiritual Flame Array. The current him finally had the qualifications to try out a real Rank 1 Spiritual Array.
