Standing on the stone lion, Mu Chen looked at Mandala, whose golden eyes were filled with the aura of a battle maniac, and couldn't help shuddering.
He never expected that this Domain Ruler, who looked like a lolita, would have a trace of madness in her bones. The Hunting War, which other forces avoided, was a hunting ground that she yearned for.
However, the other peak forces weren't sheep that could be easily dealt with. They were ferocious existences that could cause the entire Northern Region to tremble with a stomp of their feet.
Mu Chen pursed his lips. Although the Hunting War had yet to arrive, he could vaguely smell the dense stench of blood. He had no idea which peak force would be devoured in the Hunting War …
But regardless of who it was, the outcome would definitely cause a great commotion in the Northern Region. The territory and resources of a peak force was something that others would covet.
The blazing fervor in Mandala's eyes swiftly retracted as she looked at Mu Chen and suddenly smiled. "Do you know of the Ancient Haven Palace?"
Hearing that name, Mu Chen's body trembled and he immediately raised his head to look at Mandala with ecstasy in his eyes. His heartbeat had also sped up.
Wasn't the reason why he followed Jiu You to the Greatlaw Continent for the Ancient Haven Palace?!
That's because there's another Immortal Page in the Ancient Haven Palace, which could allow his Great Solar Undying Body to evolve once more!
"Looks like you came to the Greatlaw Continent because of the Ancient Haven Palace." Mandala faintly smiled.
She cast a glance at Mu Chen. "There's no need to make a fuss out of nothing. You possess the Great Solar Undying Body.
You possess the Great Solar Undying Body, so I believe that you know something about it, and the Ancient Haven Palace does indeed have what you want. "
Instantly, Mu Chen's eyes blazed with passion and even his breathing grew heavier. This was the first time that he had confirmed this news in the past year, although he still had no idea what the Ancient Haven Palace was.
However, this at least meant that he came to the right place. There was indeed something that he needed in the Tianluo Continent.
"You know where the Ancient Haven Palace is?" Mu Chen looked at Mandala.
He couldn't help but ask.
Mandala flung her rosy lips and said, "The Ancient Haven Palace is indeed hidden in the Greatlaw Continent, but no one knows where it is.
It should be an empty space.
It's just that it's been sealed by a powerful technique. "
"Even Earth Sovereigns like you can't sense it?" Mu Chen asked with his brows knitted.
Mandala rolled her eyes at him. "Even in ancient times, the Ancient Haven Palace was a famous force in the Great Thousand World. The ruler of the Ancient Haven Palace was also a pinnacle powerhouse. How can an Earth Sovereign probe the seal that was set up by such a powerhouse before his death?"
Mu Chen awkwardly smiled as he sighed in his heart.
There's truly a higher mountain in this world.
"Although I can't sense the existence of the Ancient Haven Palace, there was a powerhouse of the Ancient Haven Palace that fell in the Fallen Battlefield.
There was once a supreme expert of the Ancient Haven Palace that fell. I believe that I might be able to obtain some information regarding the Ancient Haven Palace there. "
Mu Chen nodded his head. Although this information was a little vague, it was still information. At the very least, it was better than him groping blindly. His main objective in coming to the Greatlaw Continent was to obtain the other Immortal Page.
That's because Mu Chen knew that if he wanted to step on the path of a supreme powerhouse, the Immortal Page would be of great help to him.
If there's a day that he could evolve the Great Solar Undying Body into the Primordial Immortal Body, then he would possess the qualifications to shake the Great Thousand World.
At that time, he wouldn't have to fear the Luo God Clan or the mysterious clan that his mother belonged to!
"Looks like I have to make a trip to the Fallen Battlefield."
Mu Chen muttered to himself. Regardless of whether he could obtain any information regarding the Ancient Haven Palace, he had to give it a try for the legendary Primordial Immortal Body.
For the remaining two months, while Mu Chen was training the Jiu You Troop, he had also made use of his time to cultivate. The Hunting War involved all the top-tiered forces in the Northern Region, so the scale would definitely be terrifying.
Although Mu Chen could be considered as one of the higher-ups in the Great Heaven Domain, he knew that his strength was still insufficient for a war like the Hunting War.
The moment the war starts, even Mandala wouldn't be able to take care of everyone. Therefore, he had to raise his strength as much as possible before the Hunting War starts.
But he had just broken through to the Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm, and the Spiritual Energy in his body had just stabilised. So it wasn't suitable for him to make another breakthrough. So if he wanted to raise his strength, he would have to use other means.
Like cultivating the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra.
In the depths of the Jiu You Palace
Outside an empty stone pool, Mu Chen quietly sat with his legs crossed as he looked at the stone pool before him. With a flick of his finger, ten jade bottles appeared before him. The surface of the jade bottles were flickering with runes of light. It was a simple seal to seal the Divine Beast's Blood Essences within. Otherwise, the violent Spiritual Energy would explode in an instant.
Mu Chen stared at the ten jade bottles and his face turned a little grave. Although he had obtained the legendary Dragon-Phoenix Physique in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, he was clear that his Dragon-Phoenix Physique was only at the Initial Rank. It could only strengthen his physique a little, and if he wanted to possess the power of the True Dragon and Phoenix, he would have to go through arduous cultivation.
And right now, it was the first step.
Mu Chen removed his clothes, revealing a slender figure that wasn't robust, but anyone could sense the terrifying power contained beneath it. There were True Dragon and Phoenix tattoos on his chest and back.
Mu Chen lowered his head to look at the True Dragon and Phoenix tattoos and gently touched them. They weren't simple runes, but they gave off a bizarre feeling that they were alive.
According to the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra, the Dragon-Phoenix Physique was separated into three ranks. The first rank was the activation of the True Spirit, the second was the transformation, and the third was the appearance of the Dragon and Phoenix.
The two runes on Mu Chen's chest and back should be known as the True Dragon and Phoenix Spirits, since the runes contained a trace of the True Spirit left behind by the True Dragon and Phoenix.
In this rank, he would need the blood essences of various Divine Beasts to activate the True Dragon and Phoenix Spirits, bestowing greater power to Mu Chen.
When the True Dragon and Phoenix Spirits were completely activated, he would be able to reach the Transformation Stage. At this stage, the True Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos would be able to break free from the restraints of the body and undergo myriad changes, awakening the power that belonged to the True Dragon and Phoenix.
As for the third rank, the appearance of the Dragon and Phoenix … just from the name alone, one could guess what it meant.
Right now, what Mu Chen needed to do was the first rank, the activation of the True Spirit.
Huff.
Mu Chen gently breathed out and retracted his gaze from the runes. Without any hesitation, he flicked his finger and a spiritual light shot out, shattering a jade bottle. Sizzle.
Sizzle.
Along with the shattering of the jade bottle, several drops of crimson, viscous blood essence fell from the sky. However, as the speed of their descent increased, splashing sounds started to resound.
In the end, the blood essence fell into the massive stone pool. Shortly after, the blood essence started to swell at a shocking speed. In just a few breaths' time, the few drops of blood essence had turned into a surging blood pool that rippled within the stone pool.
Violent Spiritual Energy and a dense stench of blood instantly soared into the sky. Furthermore, the Blood Essence was clearly extremely overbearing. The moment it appeared, it started to corrode the stone pool. Fortunately, Mu Chen had made preparations beforehand. The stone pool was constructed with special materials. Therefore, the Blood Essence wasn't corroded away.
"Truly worthy of being the Primordial Hydra's Blood Essence …"
Looking at the surging blood pool, Mu Chen couldn't help sighing. Just a few drops of blood essence could turn the entire pool into blood. The Primordial Hydra was truly worthy of its ranking on the Divine Beast Ranking.
The Divine Beast's Blood Essence did not undergo any refinement. Therefore, it was filled with offensive properties. However, this was also what Mu Chen needed. Only the most primitive Divine Beast's Blood Essence could awaken the True Dragon and Phoenix Spirits.
However, the process would definitely be extremely painful.
Mu Chen looked at the surging blood pool as he slowly clenched his fist. Shortly after, without any hesitation, he took off his clothes and leapt into the blood pool.
Plop.
Blood splattered as Mu Chen sat in the blood pool and formed seals with his hands. In an instant, the blood pool surged and a blood-red vortex was formed. At the origin of the vortex, Mu Chen was seated.
Sizzle.
Innumerable hissing noises resounded from the blood pool as the blood surged, forming into numerous miniature hydras that ferociously bit onto Mu Chen's body.
Mu Chen's body violently trembled at this moment as the intense pain surged, causing his face to turn a shade paler.
However, the intense pain did not make Mu Chen lose his rationale. On the contrary, he deeply inhaled a mouthful of air and his seals changed as he circulated the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra.
When he circulated the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra, the True Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos on Mu Chen's chest and back started to blossom with specks of spiritual light. Thereafter, a deep draconic roar and phoenix cry resounded. Thereafter, the miniature hydras were shattered, turning into streaks of blood that flowed through Mu Chen's skin, before being devoured by the True Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos.
Although the Primordial Hydra's Blood Essence was overbearing, it paled in comparison to the True Dragon and Phoenix Spirits.
However, Mu Chen knew that the refinement of the Divine Blood had only just begun.
