Boom!

When the aurasea exploded, Mu Chen’s body seemed to have been thunderstruck as well. He started to shiver now and then, and cold sweat flowed down from his forehead.

His body was in severe pain, and it nearly made him lose his sanity.

Fortunately, Mu Chen was well prepared. He took a deep breath and quickly calmed himself down. After the aurasea exploded, he could feel the majestic spiritual energy that had been kept within rushing out crazily like an unbridled wild horse.

Without the constraint of the aurasea, Mu Chen lost a bit of control over the spiritual energy that he had cultivated.

If one was unable to restrain the spiritual energy, even the meridians would be damaged, resulting in a serious situation.

Mu Chen would not allow such a thing to happen.

Come back!

Mu Chen shouted out in his heart and suddenly, a tiny light spot shimmered amid the aurasea. The light spot was so tiny that it was unnoticeable. However, it exuded a powerful suction.

Whoosh.

The suction spread out and covered Mu Chen completely.

The spiritual energy that had been raging suddenly slowed down. It then surged speedily toward the tiny light spot.

Swish. Swish.

The tiny light spot was the Sovereign Sea that Mu Chen had previously opened up. It shimmered gently and accepted whatever came to it. It seemed to be bottomless and sucked in all the spiritual energy that flowed to it.

After two hours, the spiritual energy in Mu Chen’s body stopped raging. The light spot, formed by the Sovereign Sea, hung in his body. It was brighter than before.

His thoughts moved and entered into the Sovereign Sea. A vast sea appeared before his eyes and spiritual energy was surging in it. The scale was much greater than the power of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.

Mu Chen opened his eyes.

Nine Nether, who was watching him from the side, heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that Mu Chen must have completed the step of shattering the aurasea. The Sovereign Sea had successfully replaced the aurasea. Mu Chen would then have to fill up the Sovereign Sea with spiritual energy.

This would require some time, and it was the crucial step for him to advance from the Three Grades of the Spirit Disaster to the Sovereign-level.

“If you can refine the Sovereign Pill that you have gotten from the Spiritual Academy Competition, you should be able to attain the Sovereign-level. It can save you a bit of time,” Nine Nether said.

Mu Chen hesitated for a while and then shook his head. He said softly, “I would like to perfect the Sovereign Sea myself.”

Nine Nether was shocked upon hearing this and said with a frown, “Are you not refining the Sovereign Pill or the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid? If you don’t do that, you will need a long period of time to cultivate the Sovereign Sea.”

One would need a large amount of spiritual energy to fill up the Sovereign Sea. If one depended solely on his own cultivation, he would need a long period of time. Most people would choose to refine the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to speed up the process.

“I have all the time in the world. The Sovereign Sea is the foundation of the Sovereign-level. I think it will be best to cultivate it myself in order to perfect it,” Mu Chen said with a smile.

Nine Nether did not refute this but looked at Mu Chen in a special way. She smiled and said, “I never knew you had such insight.”

Nine Nether complimented Mu Chen. His decision was shocking. Many people could not wait to refine the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in order to advance to the Sovereign-level and have a taste of real Sovereign power. Although there was no harm to it, the spiritual energy was not as powerful as that of one who had achieved it based on his own cultivation.

The Sovereign Sea was the foundation of the Sovereign-level, thus it was extremely important. It was not easy for Mu Chen not to be tempted by power and choose the easier way of building up his Sovereign Sea.

Mu Chen looked up at the spiritual clouds in the sky and muttered, “This is because I am very ambitious.”

“I know you are aiming for matchless mastery…” Nine Nether curled her lips. She looked at Mu Chen and said, “This path is not easy. You will realize that there are lots of talents in the Great Thousand World.”

“No matter how tough it is, I will have to press on.”

Mu Chen put on a big smile and said to Nine Nether, “This is a promise made by a man to the girl whom he likes.”

Nine Nether was stunned as she looked at him. After a while, she smiled. This youth had grown up.

“I will need your help.”

Mu Chen smiled at Nine Nether, and before she could reply, he shut his eyes and started to cultivate.

“You are too much. You really take me as your bodyguard!” Nine Nether gritted her teeth and waved her fist at Mu Chen. In the end, she just glared at him and sat cross-legged nearby.

As Mu Chen went into the state of cultivation, a powerful suction surged from his body. Spiritual clouds started to seethe and suddenly, they whizzed down like a windstorm and covered Mu Chen up.

A majestic spiritual energy flowed into his body and after being refined, it went into the Sovereign Sea. The Sovereign Sea was like a bottomless pit. It devoured the continuous flow of the spiritual energy…

At this moment, Mu Chen understood why Nine Nether had said that if he depended on his own cultivation, it would take a long time to fill up the Sovereign Sea.

After cultivating for a whole day, there was no increase in his Sovereign Sea. The spiritual energy that he had refined seemed insignificant.

At this rate, Mu Chen would need to take at least three months to fill up the Sovereign Sea.

This rate of refining is too slow, Mu Chen muttered in his heart. He pondered for a while and suddenly, he had a thought. He put his hands together and formed a seal.

Mu Chen had been completely covered by the spiritual clouds on the lotus platform. The spiritual clouds gathered together and surged toward him like a stream.

At that instant, the spiritual energy in the heavens and the earth fluctuated vigorously. Nine Nether was nearby and sensed it. She quickly lifted her head and gazed at the sky.

A black light tower formed outside Mu Chen’s body. When it appeared, it exuded a horrifying suction that caused the spiritual clouds within a lofty radius to surge toward it. They were like huge spiritual cloud dragons that were entering into the light tower.

Roar!

As the huge spiritual cloud dragons flooded into the black light tower, the lifelike Ancient Golden Dragon on top of the tower flew up. It then turned into a golden flame and entered the tower.

Swish. Swish.

When the majestic spiritual cloud dragons came into contact with the golden flame, they speedily evaporated. Ultimately, raindrops floated up and landed on Mu Chen, who was sitting cross-legged in the tower.

Although the fine raindrops were not as powerful as the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, the spiritual energy was condensed. It was pure and easy to absorb.

“What a domineering flame.”

Nine Nether was stunned as she looked at the golden flame. She was good at using fire, and she used to possess the Nine Nether Flame which had become the Unperishable Flame. However, the golden flame that was before her was no ordinary thing.

After activating the Pagoda, Mu Chen’s speed in refining the spiritual energy became faster and reached an incredible level. Even some of the elders in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy could indistinctly feel the vigorous spiritual energy fluctuation.

Mu Chen immersed himself in the state of cultivation. He instinctively refined the spiritual energy that he had absorbed and was oblivious to any disturbance.

He did it for one whole month.

During that month, he never rested. He had refined and absorbed large amounts of spiritual energy. The energy coming from the back hill was becoming so great, not only could the elders in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy sense it, but many disciples could also feel the vigorous spiritual energy fluctuation.

Fortunately, everyone knew that Mu Chen was cultivating, and Chief Tai Cang had given instructions that he not be disturbed. The disciples were shocked by the spiritual energy fluctuation.

One month passed by quickly.

At the back hill…

Nine Nether, who had been conserving her energy with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the cultivation platform. The black light tower suddenly surged and started to disperse.

Afterwards, a figure sat cross-legged in the air.

There was nothing within a hundred feet around the figure. There seemed to be an invisible shield that not even spiritual energy could enter.

The figure sat quietly in the air, and there was no spiritual energy fluctuation. However, an inexplicable oppression spread out.

Mu Chen, who was sitting like a rock, finally opened his eyes slowly.

Boom!

The radiance in his eyes caused a space warp to form. He moved his body and appeared swiftly in the sky. He slowly opened up his hands and swifty rose into the sky!

Boom!

It sounded like thunder, and a huge spiritual energy light beam gushed out of his body. The light beam bound the heavens and the earth, and an oppression spread out.

Many disciples of the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy looked stunned and stared at the huge beam. They could feel a familiar oppression coming out from the light beam…

It was the oppression from a Sovereign Master!

Mu Chen had successfully entered into the Sovereign-level!
