As the scroll is unfolded, golden light surges into Mu Chen's eyes. Those ancient characters flickering with light seem to have come to life and swim in front of Mu Chen's eyes.
"9th on the Dragon-Phoenix Record, Chi Xue of the Divine Snake Hall. Original form is a Divine Blood-red Python. Has the bloodline of a divine beast. Savage and bloodthirsty. Once massacred over 100 cities."
"..."
"7th on the Dragon-Phoenix Record, Ding Xuan of the Giant Spirit Clan. Born with divine strength, able to lift mountains. Once challenged everyone, experienced 100 battles and defeated 100 Supremes."
"5th on the Dragon-Phoenix Record, Hong Yu of the Demon School. Bewitching and dazzling. Her beauty is the best in the Northern Region. Countless geniuses are infatuated with her. She once made a genius who had been groomed by a top power for many years betray his school."
"..."
When Mu Chen sees this, he is a little dumbfounded. How beautiful is this woman called Hong Yu? She can actually seduce people to the point of abandoning their school!
"Awesome." Mu Chen clicks his tongue in praise. Although this woman called Hong Yu's accomplishments are not clearly stated, Mu Chen is not stupid enough to think that this woman can be ranked 5th only because of her beauty.
"Then what about Liu Yan of the Mysterious Heaven Palace?"
Mu Chen's heart slightly shakes. He continues to look. With Liu Yan's talent and power, it is impossible for him to be unknown on this record. Indeed, as Mu Chen has expected, he finds a familiar name in the 4th position.
"4th on the Dragon-Phoenix Record, Liu Yan of the Mysterious Heaven Palace. Practices the Wanyan Dharmakaya. Peerlessly overbearing. Wherever the heavenly flames pass by, everything is incinerated. Once fought with a grade 5 Supremes and escaped unscathed."
"Wanyan Dharmakaya …" Mu Chen slightly focuses his eyes. Even though this Wanyan Dharmakaya is only one word different from the Heavenly Flames Dharmakaya, compared to the latter, it is countless times more powerful. This is because, among the 99 Rankings of Supreme Dharmakaya, the Wanyan Dharmakaya is ranked as high as 69th. It is said that in order to practice this kind of Supreme Dharmakaya, one needs to absorb several hundred types of special flames in the world and use them to calcine spiritual energy. Only then will one be able to condense the Wanyan Dharmakaya, which is extremely overbearing once successfully practiced.
Compared to Liu Ming, Liu Yan was much more powerful. Furthermore, what made Mu Chen shocked was that this fellow had actually fought with a Fifth Grade Sovereign in the past and managed to escape unscathed.
From the looks of it, he was not the only one who could challenge those of a higher cultivation level. The other prideful geniuses also had the means to achieve this.
"He is indeed a troublesome fellow."
Mu Chen mutters to himself. From the looks of it, he had to be more vigilant in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven. With such an opponent eyeing him from the dark, he could not afford to be careless in the slightest.
As this thought flashes through his mind, Mu Chen's gaze shifted upwards once again. Right now, his interest in the Dragon-Phoenix Record was growing. Even that Liu Yan could only be ranked 4th. Then, how powerful would the top 3 be?
Golden light surged and golden words fluttered. Mu Chen's gaze stopped at the 3rd position.
"3rd on the Dragon-Phoenix Record, Myriad Saint Mountain's Su Biyue, a pure and holy girl. Her reputation is comparable to the Demon Gate's Hong Yu. Roaming the Northern Region, although the number of times she has fought can be counted with one's fingers, she would definitely defeat her opponent within 10 exchanges. She had once fought with the Demon Gate's Hong Yu and ended up with a small victory."
"Victory within 10 exchanges?"
Mu Chen's eyes were filled with astonishment. This Dragon-Phoenix Record was too valuable. Every single one of them was ridiculously powerful. Just thinking about the curse of winning within 10 exchanges was terrifying.
"2nd on the Dragon-Phoenix Record, Netherworld Palace's Netherworld Prince. The Netherworld Palace nurtured geniuses through the Gu Refinement Technique. Among 10,000 geniuses, only one person walked out in the end and the one who walked out was the Netherworld Prince."
Mu Chen stared at this row of words that were emitting golden light and felt a faint chill in his heart. This Netherworld Prince did not have any battle achievements written on it. However, those few words made people's hearts palpitate.
Using the Gu Refinement Technique to nurture geniuses. This method could be said to be cruel. Since this Netherworld Prince was able to walk out from that place, what he had experienced must be an Asura-like slaughter.
Several months ago, Mu Chen remembered that Liu Tiandao seemed to have mentioned this Netherworld Palace before. This was an old top-notch power in the Northern Region. Furthermore, it seemed that they did not have a good relationship with the Great Heaven Domain.
Mu Chen stared at that Netherworld Prince and silently added him to the dangerous list. Even though he had not seen this person before, since they did not have a good relationship, he naturally had to be a little more cautious.
"Then what about the 1st?"
Mu Chen's heart slightly moved. Even this Netherworld Prince was only ranked 2nd. Then who would be ranked 1st?
As Mu Chen's eyes moved, a row of ancient words quietly appeared at the top of the light screen.
"1st on the Dragon-Phoenix Record, Divine Pavilion's Fang Yi."
There wasn't much introduction in this row of words. However, it was this simple introduction that caused Mu Chen's expression to turn grave. A person that could firmly sit at the 1st on the Dragon-Phoenix Record with such a simple introduction could only be described as terrifying.
"The Divine Pavilion can be considered as a top-notch power with the longest foundation in the Northern Region. It has experienced 5 Hunting Wars without being annihilated. This Fang Yi is also a peerless genius and has been nurtured by the Divine Pavilion with all their might. It seems that they intend to make him the next Ruler of the Divine Pavilion." Mandala's tender voice resounded from the front.
Mu Chen inwardly smacked his lips. To be nurtured by a top-notch power with such a long foundation like the Divine Pavilion, it was no wonder that this Fang Yi was so terrifying.
"This Northern Region is truly filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons." Mu Chen sighed from the bottom of his heart. Indeed, only after entering the Great Thousand World would one know how vast this world is. But it's also because of this that this world is interesting. The path of an expert is filled with tribulations. Only by moving forward step by step, can one truly look down on everyone.
"Now you know what kind of formidable figures are participating in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, right?
Don't think that you're not qualified just because you've won a few matches earlier.
Lowly fellows are always prideful and arrogant. "Mandala lectured. However, her aged appearance and her tender voice didn't match at all.
"Who said that I'm prideful and arrogant?"
Mu Chen rolled his eyes at her. Although he was confident, he wasn't reckless. He really couldn't do something as foolish as thinking that he was invincible in the world.
"Even if there isn't?" Mandala curled her lips and said, "Do you still dare to participate?"
Mu Chen stared at the Dragon-Phoenix Record in his hand and smiled. He put it away and said, "When the Dragon-Phoenix Haven comes to an end, I'll definitely be in the top 10."
Indeed, all of the heaven's prided geniuses on the rankings were dragons and phoenixes amongst men. If he were to cross swords with them, it would be a hard to come by tempering himself. Mu Chen had never once feared such tempering.
When he first arrived at Hokuang Reiwon, Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and the others were similarly experts that he couldn't reach. But when he left Hokuang Reiwon, he was already standing at the peak.
Perhaps his background wasn't as illustrious as those proud sons of heaven, but he didn't think that he would be weaker than anyone. That was because he had his own pursuits. He had promised his father that he would bring his mother back.
He had also promised the girl that he yearned for day and night that he would become an unrivalled expert and shield her from all the storms.
Therefore, he wouldn't be afraid on this path. His gaze had always been looking into the distance.
Mandala looked at the smile on Mu Chen's face and a hint of astonishment flashed across her golden eyes. Shortly after, she clapped her hands lightly and said with a smile, "Not bad. You still have a bit of bearing. Although you're outwardly strong but inwardly weak, you haven't disgraced the name of the successor of the Primordial Immortal Body."
"Where's the thing for me?"
Mu Chen ignored her. He directly extended his hand and asked for the thing with a smile. Given Mandala's status, the thing she wanted to give him would definitely not be ordinary.
Now that he knew that those participating in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven were all freaks, Mu Chen couldn't wait to increase his means. That's because even someone as confident as him knew that the top 3 experts were definitely super strong opponents after seeing them.
Mandala rolled her eyes at Mu Chen before turning around and walking towards the depths of the Scripture Depository Pavilion. When Mu Chen saw this, he immediately followed after her.
Along the way, they passed through stone platforms that radiated with radiance. Although there were many scrolls that were emitting powerful fluctuations, Mandala's footsteps did not stop. Roughly ten minutes later, her footsteps finally started to slow down and the end of the Scripture Depository Pavilion had also appeared.
Mandala's footsteps finally came to a stop.
Mu Chen had also raised his head at this moment. At the end of the Scripture Depository Pavilion, there was a stone statue that couldn't be seen clearly. The stone statue was greyish in colour. It formed seals with a single hand and raised it up. At this moment, there was a strange flower floating on its palm.
The strange flower was purple in colour and its petals were bewitching. It was as if there was a bewitching radiance circulating around it. A bizarre fluctuation was being emitted, causing Mu Chen's gaze to be a little dazed. For a moment, even his mind was about to be sucked away.
Rumble …
The Nether Demon Heart Lightning suddenly exploded in Mu Chen's heart, causing him to immediately return to his senses. He hurriedly took a step back and stared in horror at the strange purple flower. This thing could actually cause one's mind to become intoxicated.
Mandala beckoned with her small hand. The purple flower floated down and landed in her hand. She stared at it for a moment, before flicking her finger. The flower flew towards Mu Chen.
Mu Chen carefully caught it. As the flower landed in his hand, he discovered that there seemed to be some ancient words engraved on its petals.
"This is an ancient divine technique called the Datura Heaven Annihilation Light. When it is executed, the world will turn dark and a part of the world will be destroyed. Its power can be considered to be truly apocalyptic."
Mandala faintly said, "However, if you want to cultivate it, you will have to borrow the power of the ancient divine flower, Datura."
Mu Chen was stunned. The Primordial Mandala Flower was an extremely mysterious existence between the heavens and earth. They possessed intelligence and every single Primordial Mandala Flower was comparable to a powerful expert. How was he going to borrow their help?
Mandala seemed to have seen through the doubt in Mu Chen's heart. She extended her small hand and lightly tapped on Mu Chen's lower abdomen. That was the location where his Sovereign Sea was hidden. Within the Sovereign Sea, there was a mysterious black paper …
Mu Chen understood in a flash as his eyes revealed ecstasy. That's because the Immortal Page contained the divine runes of a Datura Flower. If that's the case, then the Datura Heaven Annihilation Light was tailor-made for him!
Others might not be able to cultivate it, but he was able to perfectly fit it!
At this instant, even with Mu Chen's composure, he couldn't help laughing out. This gift from Mandala was truly too suitable!
