Chapter 677 (2/2)

Nine Nether rolled her eyes at Mu Chen, as she thought: This fellow, did he think a Sovereign celestial body ranked within the top 50 was just a common commodity?

Mu Chen rubbed his nose sheepishly, as he knew Nine Nether was right. Even the young hall master of Tian Xuan Hall could only cultivate the Heavenly Flame Celestial Body, which was ranked 97th.

However, he could also feel that there seemed to be a lot of mystery hidden within the “Great Solar Undying Body”, and now that he had just cultivated it, it was completely impossible for him to use its full potential. Otherwise, he believed that Nine Nether would never just give an evaluation of it being in the mere top 50 ranking.

With a wave of her hands, Nine Nether dispersed the shrouded aura of spiritual energy. Not far away, two beams of light surged and appeared in front of him. It was Tang Bing and Tang Ruo, and the two beautiful women’s eyes were appraising Mu Chen. They were both somewhat surprised, as the oppressive spiritual energy, which emanated from Mu Chen, was obviously much stronger than it had been a month ago.

“Looks like you have succeeded in cultivating your Sovereign celestial body?” Tang Bing asked in astonishment.

Mu Chen smiled and nodded, as he glanced at Tang Bing and asked in surprise, “Have you advanced through?”

The spiritual energy fluctuations around Tang Bing had become much stronger than they had been a month ago, so clearly in this month’s period, she had successfully advanced through and entered the Sovereign-stage.

“It’s all thanks to your Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.” Tang Bing was elated to have advanced to the Sovereign-stage, revealing as such with a dazzling smile that was now blooming on her usually cold, expressionless face.

Mu Chen smiled, and with a flick of his fingers, a beam of light surged towards Tang Bing, who then hurriedly caught it. A crimson red scroll laid within the beam of light.

“This is the method of cultivation of the Heavenly Flame Celestial Body. I believe it will help you greatly.” Mu Chen smiled.

After snatching Liu Ming’s Mustard Seed Bracelet, he had found the method of cultivation of the Heavenly Flame Celestial Body within it. He did not care for the Heavenly Flame Celestial Body at this point, but no matter what, this was a Sovereign celestial body that had a famed ranking, and ordinary Sovereigns would desire it. Thus, it was perfectly suitable to gift it to Tang Bing.

Upon hearing that this was the method of cultivation of the Heavenly Flame Celestial Body, which was ranked 97th in the 99 Sovereign Celestial Bodies, Tang Bing was stunned and immediately shook her head, declining it.

“It’s too much of a gift, I cannot accept it.”

After all, not everyone could have the opportunity to cultivate the “Great Solar Undying Body”, and Tang Bing had originally wanted to cultivate any Sovereign celestial body. After her abilities had increased, she would then choose to cultivate a stronger Sovereign celestial body. She had not expected that Mu Chen would gift her a Sovereign celestial body that had such a reputable ranking.

“Hehe, Mu Chen, are you trying to court my sister? That’s generous of you, what with the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, and now the Sovereign celestial body.” Tang Rou teased him playfully, as she grinned cheekily.

“You mischievous lass! I’ll tear your mouth out!” Tang Bing blushed. She grit her teeth in a show of mock anger, as Tang Rou giggled, hiding behind Nine Nether hurriedly.

After getting teased by Tang Rou, Tang Bing was at a loss of what to do. She held onto the red scroll, knowing that she couldn’t accept it, nor could she return it, so she stomped her foot in exasperation.

“It’s alright.” Nine Nether finally spoke with mirth in her tone.

She wrapped her arm around Tang Bing’s slender waist in an embrace, as she smiled and said, “Just accept it for the time being, as you do need a Sovereign celestial body that suits you now anyway.”

Upon hearing Nine Nether’s words, Tang Bing nodded and thanked Mu Chen.

“Thank you, I will return you this favor I owe in the future.”

Mu Chen was about to decline, but when he saw how serious she was, he just nodded, as he knew that this girl had her own set of principles.

“Bing’er, how’s the strength of our Nine Nether Palace now?” Nine Nether asked abruptly.

“Is Sister referring to the Nine Nether Troop?”

Upon seeing Nine Nether nod, Tang Bing smiled and replied, “Rest assured, in these years since Sister left, I did not grow lax. Our Nine Nether Troop is even stronger now than when you first left.”

Nine Nether nodded assuredly, as she said, “Now that Mu Chen is one of the Commanders of our Nine Nether Palace, according to the rules, he should lead the Nine Nether Troop, agreed?”

After all, Tang Bing had been the one in charge of the Nine Nether Troop these years, and it was only fair to gain Tang Bing’s permission before letting Mu Chen become the Commander.

Upon hearing this, Tang Bing nodded without any hesitation, and replied, “No problem.”

As she finished speaking, she suddenly glanced at Mu Chen with a smile. “However, there are many strong men in the Nine Nether Troop, and each of them are unruly and defiant, so I’m afraid Mu Chen would not be able to tame them.”

Mu Chen, who had originally wished to decline this, lest Tang Bing feel dissatisfied that he was going to meddle in her affairs, now raised his brows in interest, saying with amusement in his tone, “Let’s have a try then.”
