The Dragon-Phoenix Mountain Range was an extremely famous ancient region in the Northern Region. The reason why it was famous was naturally due to the Dragon-Phoenix Haven hidden within the Dragon-Phoenix Mountain Range.
It was rumoured that a True Dragon and a True Phoenix had fought in the ancient times. Everything within a few hundred thousand miles was flattened, and even the sky was shattered in the battle.
Amongst the powerful Dragon and Phoenix Clans, the True Dragon and Phoenix Clans were the strongest existences, possessing terrifying strength comparable to Heavenly Sovereigns.
In the end, that earth-shattering battle led to the fall of the two terrifying existences. The place where they fell formed the Dragon-Phoenix Haven. It was said that the Dragon-Phoenix Haven was filled with the blood of the True Dragon and True Phoenix, causing the Dragon-Phoenix Haven to become extremely mystical. Many treasures that were hard to find in the outside world could be found everywhere in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven.
It was so much so that if he could obtain the Blood Essences of the True Dragon and True Phoenix in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven and refine them, he might be able to cultivate the True Dragon Physique and True Phoenix Physique. If he succeeded, his physique would be comparable to the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan.
Most importantly, the Blood Essence of the True Dragon and True Phoenix could bestow powerful vitality to humans. As everyone knew, the reason why Divine Beasts were so terrifying was because they possessed vitality that humans couldn't compare to. If humans could obtain such vitality, it would undoubtedly be a great benefit to their cultivation.
Aside from that, there were also rumours that the Dragon-Phoenix Haven contained the inheritance of the fallen True Dragon and True Phoenix.
If he could obtain it, it would allow him to ascend to the heavens in a single step.
But over the years, the Dragon-Phoenix Haven had opened several times.
However, as for the inheritance left behind by the True Dragon and True Phoenix, no one had ever heard of anyone obtaining it. Therefore, it wasn't impossible to eliminate the possibility that this rumor was fabricated.
But even so, every time the Dragon-Phoenix Haven was about to open, not only would the elites of the Northern Region's younger generation become restless, but even some peak forces outside the Northern Region would also become restless.
They would covet it and send people over.
As a result, over time, the Dragon-Phoenix Haven became more and more famous.
Thus, it became the golden standard that the Northern Region used to measure the younger generation, and the so-called Dragon-Phoenix Record was born because of this.
No matter what, every time the Dragon-Phoenix Haven opened, the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion would be opened.
It would become a grand event in the Northern Region.
After Mu Chen left the Great Heaven Domain.
But the Dragon and Phoenix Mountain Range was in the north of the Northern Region, and the distance between the Dragon and Phoenix Mountain Range and the Great Heaven Domain was quite far. On the way, he had to pass through the territories of many powerful forces.
However, the journey was rather smooth overall. Coupled with the fact that Mu Chen was moving at full speed, he gradually approached the northern region of the Northern Region in just two days.
As they got closer.
Mu Chen could also clearly sense that there were more and more Spiritual Energy ripples heading towards the same destination. Clearly, this was the result.
All of them were heading for the Dragon-Phoenix Haven.
The owners of those Spiritual Energy fluctuations were all young with decent strength. However, they did not leave Mu Chen too shocked. That's because those that he had encountered so far were at most on par with Xu Qing, Zhou Yue and the rest.
Mu Chen did not take the initiative to meet up with those that were on the same path as him. On the contrary, he avoided the flow of people and chose some deep mountain paths. Although it would affect his speed due to the presence of some Spiritual Beasts in the mountains, there wouldn't be many disputes and it was peaceful. Naturally, the most important thing was that he had to take the opportunity to study the Datura Heavenly Annihilation Light.
As night enveloped the land, there would occasionally be the roars of various beasts resounding in the depths of the mountains, which spread out along with the night, looking boundless and distant.
A bonfire rose from the dense forest as a slender silhouette quietly sat with his eyes closed. On his palm, there was a purple flower that was slowly revolving, emitting a faint purple lustre.
In the purple lustre, there seemed to be ancient runes that flowed through his palm and into his body. Vaguely, they seemed to be forming profound runes.
That silhouette was naturally Mu Chen, who was travelling alone. In the past two days, he had been travelling in the depths of the mountains, comprehending by himself and had obtained some harvest.
The purple light lingered for an entire hour, before gradually dissipating. Mu Chen's faintly shut eyes opened as he looked at the purple flower in his hand. With a flip of his hand, he stored it.
"It's truly profound … Even if I can comprehend the runes of the Datura Flower in the Immortal Page, I can only touch the surface of it."
Mu Chen inwardly sighed. The Datura Heavenly Annihilation Light was truly worthy of being a Perfect Rank Divine Art. The difficulty of cultivating it was something that even he felt a headache over.
Mu Chen gently breathed out as he suppressed the thoughts in his heart and entered into a state of cultivation.
"Oh?"
However, just as Mu Chen was about to start cultivating, his expression suddenly changed. With a wave of his sleeve, the bonfire in front of him was extinguished. His figure shot out from the darkness like a civet, nimbly shuttling through the forest.
Forest after forest flashed past his eyes. A long while later, Mu Chen's figure stealthily landed on a lush tree. After which, he pushed aside the leaves and looked to his front.
When he looked over, his expression involuntarily froze.
Outside of the forest was a clear lake with a full moon hanging high up in the sky. As the moonlight poured down, it caused the surface of the lake to sparkle. However, what made Mu Chen freeze wasn't the scenery of the lake.
Instead, it was a snow-white figure elegantly bathing in the lake. Her fine black hair spread out on the surface of the water like a waterfall. Due to the angle, Mu Chen could only see half of her face. However, it was that half of her face that caused Mu Chen, who was used to seeing beauties, to involuntarily feel stunned.
Her brows that were like the distant mountains, her nose that was raised, her mouth that was rosy, and under her long eyelashes was a pair of large obsidian-like eyes. Her snow-white skin seemed to ripple with a layer of faint luster.
Mu Chen's gaze involuntarily shifted downwards. It was a snow-white neck that was as elegant as a swan. Her exquisite collarbone appeared to be slender and sexy. Even further down, it was covered by the clear lake water. However, one could vaguely see the ample curves.
If the girl before him was to be discussed in terms of beauty, she could probably be ranked in the top three amongst all the girls that Mu Chen had seen. According to Mu Chen's thoughts, even the Demon Gate's Hong Yu, whose beauty was unparalleled in the Northern Region, might not be able to surpass her.
Rumble.
While Mu Chen was staring at the girl, the lake water behind her suddenly rippled. A seven-coloured light flashed and in the next instant, the lake water surged as a seven-coloured python suddenly charged out and charged towards the girl.
Mu Chen's expression changed at the sight of this. His body was about to charge out by reflex, but in the next instant, his body abruptly paused.
That's because he saw the girl in the lake gently chuckle. Her laughter was like pearls falling on a silver plate, extremely clear and melodious. She waved her hand and the seven-coloured python swiftly shrunk. In the end, it was only the size of a palm and coiled on her soft shoulder.
So this seven-coloured snake was raised by her.
Mu Chen breathed a sigh of relief without anyone noticing. Just when he was about to stealthily retreat, a pair of obsidian-like eyes suddenly shot over from the lake.
"I've been discovered."
Mu Chen's heart was slightly alarmed as his body instantly retreated.
Although the girl before him was extremely beautiful, Mu Chen knew that she was not as simple as she seemed. Hence, he did not wish to provoke her.
Swish!
Mu Chen's speed was extremely quick, covering a distance of over a thousand feet in the blink of an eye. However, it was at this moment that his body suddenly stiffened. After which, he landed on a large tree. His gaze looked to his front, only to see a figure in black robes leaning against the tree trunk, smiling as he looked at him.
It was a young man with a delicate and handsome face. The smile on his face was rather warm, but for some unknown reason, Mu Chen's body suddenly tensed up when he saw him. This was because he could sense an uncontrollable danger from this mysterious black-robed young man.
"Friend … if you run like this, I will be beaten up." The black-robed young man scratched his head as he gave Mu Chen a somewhat helpless smile. Soon after, he took a step forward.
Mu Chen's pupils shrank slightly as his body explosively retreated.
Swish!
However, at the instant when his body retreated, the black-robed young man appeared before him like a spectre. His hand gently placed on his shoulder, causing the Spiritual Energy in his body to instantly stop circulating.
Shock appeared in Mu Chen's eyes. The strength of this black-robed young man was actually so terrifying. This fellow was definitely not as young as he looked on the surface.
Grabbing onto Mu Chen's shoulder, the black-robed young man moved. When he reappeared, he was already beside the lake, before releasing Mu Chen.
Mu Chen cautiously retreated a few steps. Just when he was about to speak, he saw a girl in a light-coloured dress walking over barefoot from the lake, before stopping in front of Mu Chen.
At this moment, Mu Chen had a clear look at the girl before him. No, it should be said that she was a young girl. She clearly wasn't old, but a natural charm radiated from the centre of her brows. The young girl's inexperience fused with that charm, causing her to appear even more bewitching.
When the young girl walked over, a fawning smile instantly surfaced on the face of the black-robed young man, who had previously revealed his terrifying strength. He eagerly ran over and said with a sullen face, "Big sister, I had just helped you chase away the nearby Spiritual Beasts, and this brat had already found a loophole. You can't blame me for not being able to protect you well!"
Mu Chen was taken aback. This young girl was actually the big sister of this youth that possessed such terrifying strength?
However, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations around the young girl didn't seem to be much stronger than his.
The young girl's soul-stealing eyes coldly glared at the black-robed young man, before looking towards Mu Chen. On her shoulder, the seven-coloured snake crawled out and flicked its tongue towards Mu Chen.
"That …"
Mu Chen dryly coughed. Just when he was about to speak, the young girl had already extended her small hand. A clear and sweet-sounding voice rang out in the night, causing Mu Chen to be petrified on the spot.
"You have the scent of Ancient Yan Long's Blood Essence on you. Compensate me five drops."
