After Mu Chen successfully advanced to the Spiritual Rotation Stage Late Phase, he gradually slowed down the pace of his training. This breakthrough was different from the steady progress he had made in the past. Instead, it was a leap. Although Mu Chen had prepared quite well for this leap breakthrough, it would still cause his Spiritual Energy to be a little superficial. Therefore, he needed to calm down and refine his Spiritual Energy. Otherwise, this kind of superficial superficial feeling would be a disaster for him when he tried to break through to a higher level in the future.
In order to refine his Spiritual Energy, Mu Chen chose a good method, which was to condense Spiritual Seals. Before his breakthrough, Mu Chen could only condense around 19 Spiritual Seals. When he killed Yang Gui, he was only able to arrange the "Nine Heavenly Lightning Spiritual Array" with the help of the Jaded Essence Fruit. Otherwise, he would not be able to reach that level.
However, now that his strength had greatly increased, it was easy for him to condense 20 Spiritual Seals. He did not need any external help at all. This made Mu Chen quite happy. This also meant that he could rely on his own strength to successfully arrange the "Nine Heavenly Lightning Spiritual Array". With such a powerful Spiritual Array, even if he encountered a Spirit Stage Initial Phase powerhouse, he would be able to resist.
However, when Mu Chen condensed 20 Spiritual Seals and attempted to condense the 21st Spiritual Seal, he encountered a huge obstruction. The 21st Spiritual Seal was unable to take shape.
This phenomenon made him somewhat puzzled. Now that his strength had greatly increased, it should be easy for him to condense more than 20 Spiritual Seals. Why was he still unable to succeed?
After thinking about it for a while, the puzzled Mu Chen went to find Wen Ling. After the latter's explanation, he finally understood that the 21st Spiritual Seal was the crucial point for a Rank 1 Spiritual Array Master to advance to Rank 2.
Although there was only a difference of one Spiritual Seal between 20 Spiritual Seals and 21 Spiritual Seals, it separated two different realms.
Wen Ling had spent several years to complete the difference of one Spiritual Seal.
Just now, he had completed the gap of a single Spiritual Seal and became a Rank 2 Spiritual Array Master. If Mu Chen wanted to make up for this gap in a short period of time, it would not be as simple as he had imagined, even if he possessed monstrous talent in the cultivation of Spiritual Arrays.
After listening to Wen Ling's explanation, Mu Chen finally understood. No wonder the 21st Spiritual Seal was so hard to condense. It was because of the difference in rank. He only needed to wait until he successfully condensed the 21st Spiritual Seal.
At that time, he would be a true Rank 2 Spiritual Array Master, and at that time, he would be able to condense far more Spiritual Seals at an astonishing speed.
For example, before Wen Ling became a Level 2 Spirit Array Master.
He was only able to condense twenty Spiritual Seals. However, after he took this step, the number of Spiritual Seals he had condensed had already reached an astonishing number of twenty nine in less than half a month. Furthermore, it was still slowly increasing.
From this, one could see the gap between a Level 2 and a Level 1 Spiritual Array Master.
After knowing the reason.
Mu Chen also slowed down the speed of condensing. Although he still treated it as a compulsory course every day, he also divided some time to complete other things.
And time was spent leisurely by Mu Chen.
In a blink of an eye, another ten days passed.
During this period of time, Mu Chen divided it into four parts. One part was used to condense Spiritual Seals, one part was used to cultivate Spiritual Energy.
The other part was to study the complicated and obscure "Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array". The fourth part was used to talk to the Jiu You Sparrow in his body.
The other part was used to have a heart-to-heart talk with the Jiu You Sparrow in his body. This Jiu You Sparrow was an extremely powerful existence. Although it was trapped in Mu Chen's body, Mu Chen was still very tempted by its power. Therefore, he did not want to make their relationship too hostile. However, the Jiu You Sparrow seemed to be too lazy to care about his heart-to-heart talk. The fierceness in its eyes did not diminish in the slightest. Occasionally, it would look at Mu Chen as if it was looking at a naive fool.
This foolish fellow, did he think that he could make it obedient just like that?
Although the effect of the heart-to-heart talk was minimal, Mu Chen was never tired of it. In the end, the Jiu You Sparrow was also annoyed by him. Once it heard his voice, it immediately covered its body with its wings and ignored him.
However, although Mu Chen did not obtain any obvious effect from the conversation with the Jiu You Sparrow, he did make some discoveries about the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array. However, this discovery caused him to feel a headache. This was because he finally discovered that the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array that he saw from the black scroll was not complete. More accurately speaking, it should only be a part of the complete Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array.
The most peculiar thing was that, although this was only a portion of it, it could still be considered as a complete Spiritual Array, completely capable of being arranged and executed by itself. This caused Mu Chen to feel extremely astonished, as this was the first time he had seen a Spiritual Array that could still be used as a complete Spiritual Array after being split up.
As for the remaining part of the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array, it was still hidden within the black scroll. Even if Mu Chen activated the Heart Array State, he was still unable to detect it. It was obvious that his strength was insufficient.
However, Mu Chen was not depressed because of this. Right now, his strength was insufficient. Not to mention the complete version of the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array, just the part of the Diagram Array that he was able to detect would roughly require a hundred Spiritual Seals. Mu Chen was far from this number. Perhaps only a few outstanding Rank 3 Spiritual Array Masters could barely reach this requirement.
He had only just started on the path of a Spiritual Array Master.
While Mu Chen was quietly cultivating, the Mu Territory was also quite quiet. Even the entire Northern Spiritual Realm was somewhat quiet. This kind of silence made Mu Feng feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Is there any movement from the Liu Territory?" Within the Mu Estate, Mu Feng held a teacup and frowned as he looked at Zhou Ye and asked softly.
Zhou Ye shook his head and said: "Those guys seem to have changed their temperaments. They've been quiet and well-behaved. They didn't even care about Nine Dragon City's recent annexation of some underworld forces with our support."
Hearing Zhou Ye's words, Mu Feng's frown deepened. He understood Liu Qingtian's temperament very well. The latter was cunning and vicious. He was definitely not a good person. This time, he suffered a loss at the hands of the Mu Territory. How could he just let it go?
"Pass down the order. Closely monitor the Liu Territory. If there's any movement, immediately report back." Mu Feng put down the teacup in his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Okay."
Zhou Ye nodded and immediately turned around to leave.
Mu Feng stared at Zhou Ye's back. His hand could not help but rub against the armrest of his chair. His gaze turned towards the direction of the Liu Territory. He did not know why, but an uneasy feeling enveloped his heart.
This feeling was as if a bloody storm was about to sweep through.
It was ominous and terrifying.
Liu Territory.
Recently, the Liu Territory had been very peaceful. However, those who were observant could faintly sense that the patrolling defenses of the Liu City had become much tighter during this period of time. That appearance was as if they were guarding against something.
This made a lot of people confused. They thought about the confrontation between the Liu Territory and the Mu Territory. Could it be that the Liu Territory was guarding against the Mu Territory?
However, the Liu Territory was the strongest force within the Northern Spiritual Realm. They had always been showing off their strength. Why would they suddenly be afraid of the Mu Territory?
Many people were puzzled. Therefore, some rumors began to spread. Some said that the Liu Territory was afraid of the Mu Territory and did not dare to compete with them. This caused the Liu Territory's reputation to suffer a bit.
Liu Estate.
Boom!
In the Meeting Room, a table was smashed into pieces by Liu Ming. His face was gloomy as he said: "These idiots. Why would the Liu Territory be afraid of the Mu Territory?"
Liu Qingtian glanced at him and said: "It's just some rumors. Why are you so concerned about it?"
"Big Brother is right."
Liu Zong nodded and said: "Right now, the most important thing for us is to wait for Father to come out. We don't care about anything else. As long as he successfully ascends to the Three Heavens Stage, all the rumors will naturally disappear."
Liu Ming gritted his teeth and said: "How long will that take?
During this period of time, the Mu Territory and Nine Dragon City have annexed a lot of forces that had attached themselves to us. These bastards actually dared to bully the Liu Territory. They must've eaten a leopard's guts! "
"This Mu Feng is indeed courting death." Liu Zong said coldly.
Liu Qingtian smiled. His smile was exceptionally cold as he said: "There's no need to hurry. There will be a time when he returns. When that time comes, I will make him beg us on his knees."
"The Mu Territory is only an upstart force. They dare to compete with the Liu Territory?
They're truly overestimating themselves. "
Liu Qingtian stood up and waved his hand as he said: "Go and do what you need to do. We'll continue to wait."
After saying that, just when he was about to leave, his expression suddenly changed. He raised his head and saw that the sky above the Liu Territory, which was originally bright, had suddenly darkened.
Wuuuu.
A violent wind blew through the sky. Everyone in Liu City could feel that the Spiritual Aura within the world seemed to have violently fluctuated. Moreover, the Spiritual Aura was crazily rushing towards a certain direction along with the violent wind.
Someone looked in that direction and saw that it was the back mountain of the Liu Estate.
"What's going on?" Liu Ming hurriedly came out. He looked at the changing sky and could not help but ask.
Liu Qingtian stared at the sky in a daze. Then, he took a deep breath and shifted his gaze towards the back mountain. He saw that in the sky, a violent wind was howling and dark clouds were gathering. A shocking Spiritual Energy pressure slowly swept out like a wave.
"Father is about to come out!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Qingtian's mouth. However, under the dark sky, his smile seemed particularly sinister and sinister.
Beside him, Liu Ming and Liu Zong instantly revealed expressions of ecstasy when they heard this.
"Liu Ming, immediately spread the news. The Liu Territory is going to host a Nine Territory Meeting. All forces within the Northern Spiritual Realm must attend. Otherwise, we will kill without mercy!" Liu Qingtian said with a faint smile.
"Yes!"
Liu Ming laughed as he replied.
Liu Qingtian faced the violent wind and slowly opened his arms. From now on, the Liu Territory would be the overlord of the Northern Spiritual Realm.
Mu Feng, just wait for your death.
