Chapter 650 (2/2)
“The Daluo Golden Pool possesses the Divine Power of gods and spirits to refine the Sovereign Celestial Body, making it more perfect. If luck is on your side, you could even cultivate the Infinite Golden Light with the Sovereign Celestial Body.”
“Infinite Golden Light?” Mu Chen asked in bewilderment.
“The Sovereign Celestial Body is already powerful on its own, but with the Infinite Golden Light, it is akin to giving a tiger wings, thus increasing its power. Most importantly, the Infinite Golden Light has a very strong defense, so it can also render the Sovereign Celestial Body indestructible.
“However, it is very difficult to cultivate the Infinite Golden Light. As far as I know, in the many years that have passed there are very few people on the Tianluo Continent who have been able to cultivate the Infinite Golden Light in the Daluo Golden Pool.”
Mu Chen clicked his tongue in shock. Who would have thought that there would be such a wondrous place that could strengthen the Sovereign Celestial Body? There must be many Sovereign Masters who were eyeing it.
“When you follow me into Daluo Territory, you must enter the Daluo Golden Pool,” Nine Nether stated solemnly.
“There must be some conditions required?” Mu Chen pondered.
Since the Daluo Golden Pool possessed such a wondrous ability, it was apparent that not just anyone could enjoy it.
Nine Nether nodded lightly. “The Daluo Golden Pool in Daluo Territory can only be enjoyed by people holding the rank of Commander, and only once every three years, with a quota of people allowed.”
Nine Nether glanced at Mu Chen, and her eyes narrowed. “So after entering Daluo Territory, you have to fight for the position of Commander.”
“Commander?” Mu Chen asked in disbelief.
“In the Daluo Territory, there is a Dominator. However, this Dominator comes and goes like a specter, and it is hard to get a trace of his whereabouts, so he’s a mysterious existence in the Daluo Territory. The main affairs of the Daluo Territory are controlled and managed by the Three Kings under the Dominator.
“Under the Three Kings are the Nine Lords… and I’m one of the Lords.” Nine Nether smiled. “Under the Nine Lords are the Commanders. Generally speaking, one has to attain the Sovereign-level before they can fight for the position of Commander.”
“The starting point is the Sovereign-level…” Mu Chen laughed bitterly. He wasn’t even considered to be a First Grade Sovereign in his present state, thus it would be difficult for him to vie for the position of Commander. No wonder Nine Nether forced him to complete his spiritual energy cultivation in the shortest time possible.
“Not confident?” Nine Nether asked nonchalantly.
Mu Chen smiled, but this smile was much brighter. He stretched lazily as he said, “Well, let me see exactly how strong the Sovereigns are in this Great Thousand World. My journey will not be hindered by a small challenge to become Commander.”
A satisfied smile bloomed on Nine Nether’s beautiful face upon hearing Mu Chen’s words.
“Thank you,” Mu Chen said softly as he turned to glance at Nine Nether.
Perhaps when they had just left the Northern Heavens Continent, Nine Nether had already begun to make plans for him. Although he did not know what the Daluo Golden Pool represented in the Daluo Territory, if Nine Nether was one of the Nine Lords, it was likely that she did not have much say in making decisions.
Hence, he felt touched.
“Oh please, just don’t lose disastrously and utterly embarrass me.” Nine Nether pursed her lips and harrumphed, but there was mirth in her tone.
“It’s time to leave. We should get going.”
She didn’t give Mu Chen time to blabber on. With a wave of her hand, her silhouette surged out in a flash of light.
Mu Chen smiled and glanced at the slender shadow, and as he clenched his fists, fighting spirit and will ignited in his heart. He owed much to Nine Nether. Now it looked like he would have to become a Commander in the Daluo Territory.
…
In the next month, they were still on their way, traversing the continents without much rest. In their rush, the Tianluo Continent was getting closer and closer.
One day, Nine Nether and Mu Chen gradually slowed down in their journey.
They were now on a continent named the Continent of Trade. This continent possessed a Spiritual Transfer Array that could bring them to the Tianluo Continent directly, hence it was considered the last stop of their arduous journey.
This continent had some of the grandest trade and auction houses among the dozen nearby continents, with countless natural treasures and Divine Artifacts. Many Divine Arts circulated here through a variety of channels.
Despite some of the channels being shady and dubious, no one cared because everyone knew that they could buy anything on this Continent of Trade.
One could buy anything as long as they had sufficient Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
It was here that Mu Chen’s weary heart felt excitement for the first time in a great while. He finally got the last two materials he needed to cultivate the Great Solar Undying Body: the Void Great Solar Fruit and the Undying Divine Leaf.
