Chapter 647 - Spirituality of the Spiritual Energy

This was a broad and endlessly stretched ocean, the end of it could not be seen. In the ocean, there were occasionally huge aquatic Spiritual Beasts leaping about, rolling waves at the same time.

Tsk! Tsk!

Up in the sky, space abruptly distorted as strong spatial ripples spread out, forming a spatial vortex. Two light figures flew from the spatial vortex after that and appeared in the sky of this ocean.

The instant the two of them appeared, they exchanged looks as they swept their gazes out. They were stunned upon seeing the vast ocean.

“Where is this?” Mu Chen was at a loss as he asked, scratching his head.

Nine Nether was clearly more experienced compared to Mu Chen. She slowly retrieved a scroll and opened it. The scroll was filled with complicated patterns and, after looking at it, it seemed to be an incredibly huge map.

She swept her gaze as she pointed on a region on the map, then she lightly tapped on it. Ripples fluctuated on the map as it expanded, making it more distinct. In the end, a light dot appeared in that region.

“Look, we are currently here. This is an ocean outside the Northern Heavens Continent, and if we continue forth, we will be able to enter the Nanling Continent. At that time, we can borrow their Teleportation Spiritual Array to head for the other continent.” Nine Nether smiled.

Mu Chen looked at the map as his eyes were filled with shock. He could vaguely sense the pretty powerful Spiritual Energy ripples.

“This is a Spiritual Artifact?” Mu Chen was startled as he spoke.

“Yeah, this is a Spiritual Diagram that is used in the Great Thousand World to record maps. Generally speaking, those that go out would have one prepared. So, naturally, I have one prepared as well. If we didn’t have this Spiritual Diagram, it wouldn’t be easy for us to reach to Skylaw Continent.” Nine Nether lightly nodded her head.

“There’s nothing to worry with Nine Nether around.” Mu Chen flattered with an eye-narrowing smile. He was speaking the truth from the depths of his heart. If he was all alone, he might not even know what to do right now. How could he be as prepared as Nine Nether?

Nine Nether glared at him.

“Then, how long will it take for us to reach the Skylaw Continent?” Mu Chen inquired.

“We will at least have to pass through tens of continents to reach the Skylaw Continent by continuously travel through the Teleportation Spiritual Array. Even if we travelled without any rest, we would still require at least two months to get to the Skylaw Continent.” Nine Nether spoke indifferently.

“Two months...” Mu Chen couldn’t stop the corner of his lips from twitching.

“Don’t think about relaxing during these two months.” Nine Nether looked at Mu Chen as her expression turned much more serious as she continued, “Mu Chen, I believe you are aware that you have already left the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, and the place that we are going to is not an ivory tower. The Great Thousand World speaks with strength, and without sufficient strength, no one will look at you, no matter where you go.”

“Even the Great Havenlaw Domain, which I was from, is not peaceful. It was a place filled with internal conflicts. They are not like the small fights in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Although I will do my best to protect you there, I know that you do not want that.”

Hearing her words, Mu Chen lightly smiled, “Rest assured, I have been well-aware of this logic since long ago.”

The Great Havenlaw Domain was not the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, which had others trying to assist him in his cultivation. If he couldn’t climb up by himself, he would most likely be stepped on by others.

Nine Nether lightly nodded her head as she continued, “Right now, although you have successfully broken through to the Sovereign Realm, you are barely a First Grade Sovereign.”

“Because I have yet to cultivate the Sovereign Celestial Body?” Mu Chen said calmly. In fact, he could cultivate a Sovereign Celestial Body with his strength, but it would only be an ordinary one. Aside from the Great Solar Undying Body, he did not have any other cultivation techniques for a Sovereign Celestial Body. Also, he didn’t want to waste the precious Sovereign Spiritual Liquid on an ordinary Sovereign Celestial Body. He was aware that after he gathered the two remaining materials for the Great Solar Undying Body, he would require a very large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.

If he were to cultivate, he definitely didn’t wish to walk an ordinary path.

“That is only one of the reasons.” Nine Nether nodded her head as she continued, “There is another reason why the Sovereign Realm is a dividing line in the path of cultivation, aside from the Sovereign Sea and Sovereign Celestial Body. The Spiritual Energy of a Sovereign expert possesses spirituality, and regarding quality, it far surpasses ordinary Spiritual Energy.”

“Spirituality?”

Mu Chen lightly frowned his brows.

“The Spiritual Energy of many Sovereign experts has a unique attribute. Some have an ice-cold Spiritual Energy, while some are violent and fiery. Because of these unique attributes that they possess, their might isn’t ordinary.”

Mu Chen pondered as he vaguely recalled the helper from the Demonic Dragon Palace back in the Northern Heavens Continent, that Old Ancestor Wu Ling. His Spiritual Energy was dominant, and he could create cold and pitch-black waves in an instant. Those waves were actually formed with his Spiritual Energy, so it was extraordinarily overbearing and no ordinary Spiritual Energy could be compared to it.

“Then, how should I give an attribute to my Spiritual Energy?” Mu Chen spoke as he pondered.

“Do you still remember that your Spiritual Energy has once combined with my Nine Nether Flames? Back then, your Spiritual Energy was exceptionally powerful and, speaking from a certain angle, the two were just interlinked. However, it is tiny in comparison.”

Mu Chen was instantly enlightened. Directly speaking, the so-called “attributes” was the fusion of their Spiritual Energy with other things, evolving his own Spiritual Energy and making it stronger.

Although it was easy to speak about it, it was tough to actually accomplish it. Since Spiritual Energy would not fuse with just any random material, the instant the Spiritual Energy rejected it, not only would it not evolve, there would also be a huge drawback and he would be harming himself instead.

“Then, what should I fuse it with?” Mu Chen asked.

The majority of the Sovereign experts would choose to absorb the abnormal energy from places of extreme cold or heat and fuse that with their Spiritual Energy. It was the most straightforward and easiest method. However, there would also be a limit to how much it can increase the power of Spiritual Energy.

“You have once fused with the Nine Nether Flames, so your Spiritual Energy should be compatible to fire-attributed items. Furthermore, you have also trained in the Lightning God’s Physique, so you should also be compatible with lightning attributes...”

Nine Nether pondered as she continued, “As for lightning attributes, it is impossible for you to fuse with any powerful lightning sources at your current state, so you should temporarily give up on the idea. As for flames... my Undying Flames should be a good choice for you.”

Mu Chen eyes lit up. Not only was that a pretty good choice, it was just perfect. He was no longer as ignorant as he was in the past. He knew how powerful the Undying Flames were. The crucial point was that the Undying Flames also possessed profound characteristics.

Undying.

But again, it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t die if he possessed the Undying Flames. He would possess powerful regenerative power due to the Undying Flames. No matter how grave his injuries were, as long as it wasn’t enough to erase his Spirit, he would be able to gradually recover from his injuries.

Possessing the Undying Flames, he would have the upper hand in a long battle.

Mu Chen’s eyes lit up as a thought flashed in his mind. He looked at Nine Nether and bitterly smiled, “But, if we did that, you will also suffer some harm, right?”

Although Nine Nether possessed the Undying Flames, it wasn’t something that she had gotten so easily. She also had to exhaust a significant amount of energy and spirit to create the Undying Flames. If Mu Chen wanted his Spiritual Energy to evolve, the amount of Undying Flames he required would be incredibly tremendous.

And to Nine Nether, it was a huge burden.

Nine Nether did not comment on his speech as she stared at Mu Chen with her slender eyes. “Although there will be some obstructions, it’s nothing great.”

“But...”

“From today on, we will travel during the day, and you will start fusing with the Undying Flames at night. My bottom line for you is to have your Spiritual Energy evolved before reaching the Skylaw Continent!” Nine Nether did not give Mu Chen any chance to refuse as she said with indifference.

“If you can’t accomplish that...” A dangerous arc rose on Nine Nether’s rosy lips.

“Don’t blame me for being impolite!”

She casually slapped her hand down, and the ocean beneath her ripped apart. The leaping Spiritual Beasts were instantly slaughtered with that palm of hers.

Looking at the situation, Mu Chen couldn’t help twitching the corner of his lips as he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He was well-aware of Nine Nether’s personality. If things really came to that point, she might really give him a beating. This Big Sister was too violent.

“Do you have any opinions?” Nine Nether chuckled as she looked at Mu Chen. Although she was incredibly gorgeous, she made Mu Chen flow with cold sweat as he hastily shook his head.

“Good, let us go, then.”

Nine Nether nodded in satisfaction.

“We’re going to fly across this ocean?” Mu Chen was stunned as he quickly carried on, “Why don’t you return to your original form and I’ll ride you as you fly over it, it will be so much faster...”

The instant when he spoke, he felt something amiss as Nine Nether, who stood before him, had her brows lifted. However, she still maintained a blossoming smile on her face. It was so much so that her smile was a little lovely as she leisurely strode forth with her face flushed red. “Little Brother Mu Chen, you really want to ride Big Sister?”

Mu Chen dryly smiled as he turned around and ran.

Boom!

But before he could run far, violent Spiritual Energy enveloped him as he saw a large wing ruthlessly slapping towards him. A booming sound rang out as he was sent into the ocean.

Mu Chen came out of the ocean as a figure flit across the horizon with a lovable chuckle sounding out.

“You’re not allowed to come out, you are to swim in the ocean. It’s your training.”

Mu Chen felt grief and indignation. He clenched his teeth as he muttered, A wise man knows better than fight when odds are against him. He chose to endure it for the time being, and when he was stronger than her in the future, he would definitely press her down on his thighs and spank her bottom.

Nine Nether, just you wait!

The youth swam forth with all his effort as he roared in his heart.
