Chapter 640 - Primal Celestial Bodies

At the back mountains of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

It was a region enveloped by dense spiritual mist as boundless Spiritual Energy whistled in this region. Vaguely, there were also sounds of waves.

Mu Chen stood on a lush green mountain peak with a lotus stone platform. This was the only Rank 8 Spirit Convergence Array that’s connected to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, also the only place with the most converged Spiritual Energy.

Generally speaking, this place wasn’t opened for students, but speaking from a certain extent, Mu Chen had already far surpassed Third Grade Spirit Disaster and was half a step into the Sovereign Realm, possessing a strength that ordinary students could not be compared to.

In addition to him seizing the Championship of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament for the academy, Mu Chen’s status in the academy had reached an unprecedented height. Generally, as long as it wasn’t an unreasonable request, the academy would help fulfil his request.

Thus, the one and only Rank 8 Spirit Convergence Array being opened for him was reasonable.

Mu Chen inhaled a mouthful of air as the vast Spiritual Energy in this region seeped into his body, giving him a relaxed sensation as he sat down. A dark light flew out from his body, transforming into a figure beside him.

“You have already established your Sovereign Sea, except that it’s empty at the moment, and lacking Spiritual Energy. Thus, it is only a decoration right now.” Nine Nether spoke as she glanced at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen nodded his head, during his battle with Ji Xuan, the reason why he could utilise such vast energy was because he had borrowed the power of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar to fill up his Sovereign Sea. Even if he were to pour in the Spiritual Energy in his body into the Sovereign Sea, it would only be a strand of hair on nine oxen.

Now that the energy from the Great Meru Demonic Pillar had faded away, his Sovereign Sea was empty. Right now, what he had to do was gather Spiritual Energy and fill up his Sovereign Sea. Only then, could he be considered as having genuinely stepped into the Sovereign Realm.

Nine Nether sat down beside Mu Chen as she slightly curled her long slender legs. Her sharp chin was on her knees as she looked at Mu Chen and softly muttered, “What’s your plan after you break through to the Sovereign Realm? I think that the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy wouldn’t have much help to the current you. Harshly speaking, if you stay here, I’m afraid that you will never have the qualification to go to the Luo God Clan.”

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head, he naturally knew about that. If he wanted to grow stronger, he couldn’t remain in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy forever.

“We are connected through the Bloodlink Bond, and you should know some of my secrets... taking that for example.” Mu Chen grasped his hand as the mysterious black paper appeared in his hand.

Looking at that page of black paper, Nine Nether couldn’t help tensing her body. Back then, she had suffered a lot from that black paper.

“Have you heard of the “Primordial Immortal Body?” Mu Chen’s gaze was blazing with heat as he lightly smiled, while looking at the Immortal Page.

Primordial Immortal Body.

When those words came out, Nine Nether abruptly raised her head as a smear of shock flashed through her eyes. It took her a brief moment before she could calm her heart as she said, “You’re saying the rank 4 of the 99 Ranks of Sovereign Celestial Bodies, the Primordial Immortal Body?!”

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head. Although this was a huge secret, he absolutely believed in Nine Nether. After all, their lives were linked together.

“If I can obtain it and successfully cultivate it, do you think... that I can become a supreme expert?” Mu Chen spoke in a soft voice.

“How is that possible?!” Nine Nether blurt out.

“No possible?” Mu Chen was stunned.

“That’s not it... I’m saying how is it possible for you to cultivate the Primordial Immortal Body...?” Nine Nether immediately curiously shook her head as she looked at Mu Chen, before she continued speaking, “Do you even know what the Primordial Immortal Body represents?”

At this moment, it was Mu Chen that was curious. He only knew that the Primordial Immortal Body was Rank 4; thus, it should be a powerful one. However, he didn’t have any further pieces of information about it.

“The Primordial Immortal Body is rank 4 in the 99 Ranks of Sovereign Celestial Bodies, but you are unaware that it is one of the Ten Primal Celestial Bodies in the ancient times.” Nine Nether spoke slowly.

“Ten Primal Celestial Bodies?” Mu Chen was stunned as he wondered what that was about.

“The Ten Primal Celestial Bodies are the strongest Sovereign Celestial Bodies in this world, every single one of them is extremely overbearing and powerful, far surpassing your imagination. In the foreign invasion in the ancient times, the Great Thousand World was initially on the losing streak with many lower planes being seized by those invaders. It wasn’t until the appearance of the ten supreme experts that had cultivated in the Ten Primal Celestial Bodies arrived; thus, the losing situation was under control. However, during that tribulation, those ten supreme experts all fell with five of the Primal Celestial Bodies destroyed, even the cultivation methods for them have disappeared. Hence, only five of the Primal Celestial Bodies were left behind, they were in the top five of the rankings in the 99 Ranks of Sovereign Celestial Bodies. But even so, it hadn’t heard about anyone successfully possessing them, so the rankings of the top 5 Sovereign Celestial Body are just in the legends.”

“And you are saying that the Primordial Immortal Body is one of them?”

Mu Chen was dumbfounded, he never imagined that the origin of the Primordial Immortal Body would be so big.

“If you can successfully cultivate the Primordial Immortal Body, then congratulations, I’m afraid that you are amongst the rankings of supreme experts in the Great Thousand World.”

Nine Nether suddenly looked at Mu Chen in curiosity as she said, “But why are you so confident in obtaining the cultivation method of the Primordial Immortal Body?”

Mu Chen smiled as he raised the mysterious black paper in his hand as he said, “Do you know of the Immortal Catalog in legends?”

“The Immemorial Divine Sculpture, Immortal Catalog?” Nine Nether’s mouth widened as she said in astonishment.

Mu Chen was a little surprised that Nine Nether knew so much, but thinking about her background, he was relieved. The Nine Nether Bird Clan was a clan that possessed a deep foundation; thus, they should have quite a bit of ancient books as well. Therefore, it was natural for Nine Nether to know the secrets of the old times.

“This black paper is an Immortal Page, a part of the Immortal Catalog. Judging from the information I currently have, the current Immortal Catalog is separated into three pages. If I can obtain the remaining two pages, I will be able to obtain the real Primordial Immortal Body.” Mu Chen said in a soft tone.

Nine Nether was a little stunned by the mysterious black piece of paper in Mu Chen’s hand and only after a long while, did she inhale a deep breath and suppressed the shock in her heart. She looked at Mu Chen with a complicated gaze. She never imagined that Mu Chen would have such a treasure in his possession.

“You... your luck is simply too good!” Nine Nether could only sigh as she continued with jealousy, “If there’s a day when you can gather the other two Immortal Catalog pages and successfully cultivate the Primordial Immortal Body, not to mention that old man, even a Heavenly Sovereign can’t do anything to you.”

Mu Chen chuckled as he responded in a little distress, “But the world is so vast, it’s simply impossible to find the other two pages of the Immortal Catalog.”

Nine Nether also fell into her thoughts as she pondered for a brief moment, before she answered, “I have a suggestion.”

“Hmm?” Mu Chen’s eyes lit up from her reply.

“Don’t the Five Great Academies have a special Divine Artifact... one that can pierce through all obstacles and detect everything in this world? Who knows, it might be able to tell the location of the Immortal Catalog.”

“The Mirror of Judgement?!” Mu Chen’s eyes grew brighter as a surge of excitement rose in his heart. Although he didn’t know what the results would be, it was undoubtedly a feasible method to try.

As for using the Mirror of Judgement, perhaps he could only seek the help of Dean Tai Cang at that time.

“But, right now, I still have to advise you to keep that thought of yours to yourself. With the current you, even if you can obtain the Immortal Catalog, it will only spell disaster for you.” Nine Nether said with a faint voice.

Mu Chen smiled and did not refute her. If he had obtained the Immortal Catalog right now, he wouldn’t even be able to protect it. However, he didn’t have the thoughts of getting it in a short time. After all, just the Great Solar Undying Body recorded in this page of the Immortal Catalog was something that he could only stare at with insufficient materials.

Right now, he could only decide on it after reaching the Sovereign Realm.

Mu Chen inhaled a mouthful of air as he suppressed the tidal waves in his heart, gradually calming it. With a flip of his hand, he stored the page of the Immortal Catalog into his body.

“I need your help guarding me.”

Mu Chen spoke with a soft voice as he formed cultivation seals with his hand and gradually shut his eyes.

As Mu Chen shut his eyes, the dense spiritual mist in the surroundings was riled up in an instant, gushing in his direction at an astonishing speed and endlessly poured into Mu Chen’s body.

Mu Chen’s mind had also sunk into his body. The waves of Spiritual Energy that were whistling over were incomparable to the past; thus, it only took half an hour before the aurasea in his body to be filled with boundless Spiritual Energy.

Piercing pain came, but Mu Chen showed no signs of stopping. His mind willed it as the speed of the Spiritual Energy being suck into his body became even more violent.

With the gushing of Spiritual Energy, his aurasea swiftly reached the limits.

Mu Chen’s face was also exceptionally grave at this moment, since he knew that the next step was extremely crucial. Only by shattering his aurasea, could he replace it with the Sovereign Sea.

However, if this step failed, then the outcome would be very dangerous.

“Shatter, my path of a Sovereign will begin here!”

Mu Chen abruptly opened his eyes, his gaze was sharp as he inhaled. In an instant, the Spiritual Energy turned into a mighty current as it charged into his body, into his aurasea that had reached its limits.

The Spiritual Energy in his aurasea shattered due to the compression.

His aurasea shattered in an instant!
