Chapter 716: Grade Two Sovereign
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Over the next few days, the atmosphere in Daluo Territory became increasingly tense. The princes were busy recruiting troops, and information about the Hundred Battle Territory was flowing continuously into Daluotian. In the vast Daluo Territory, a power struggle had finally begun.
Nine Nether Palace had been rather busy. Those 100 cities belonging to Blood Eagle Temple were quickly conquered. Although this was not enough to give Nine Nether Palace the kind of wealth that speaks louder than words, compared to its previously pathetic state, it was without a doubt many times better. Furthermore, in the Battle of Conquest, this method was the best way to obtain resources. Now that it was seizing the opportunity, Nine Nether Palace would certainly become a powerhouse.
Just when Nine Nether Palace’s activities were at their peak, Mu Chen chose to seclude himself in order to reach the Grade Two Sovereign-level. This was possible since many things were handled by Tang Bing, the chief governor. With Tang Bing’s systematic delegation and command, even Nine Nether could not do as well as she did.
Hence, Nine Nether Place’s operations totally did not worry him or Nine Nether.
Nine Nether Palace, cultivation chamber.
Mu Chen was sitting down cross-legged, adjusting his state of mind. After a long while, he made a fist, and a crystal-clear alabaster jar abruptly appeared in his palm. Inside the alabaster jar there was a round, dark green pill floating within. It emitted a thick fragrance that permeated the cultivation chamber.
Mu Chen stared at this Heavenly Pill. After pondering for a short while, he swung his sleeve, and a resplendent torrent suddenly flowed out, zig-zagging around him.
Within the torrent were droplets of saturated Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Expansive spiritual energy fluctuations rippled out, making the air in the cultivation chamber viscous.
There were Nine Grades of Sovereign, and breaking through each of them was not an easy task. The vast majority of people could not break through with years of hard training, thus it could be seen that there was a huge gap between grades.
Therefore, even though Mu Chen had the Heavenly Pill, he would still take in large amounts of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid with the pill to maximize the medicine’s efficacy in order to achieve a breakthrough.
This is nearly 2,000 droplets of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid…
Mu Chen watched the torrent, feeling a little distressed. Previously, he had given most of the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to Tang Bing to support the training of the Nine Nether Troop. Therefore, the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid he had currently did not even amount to 5,000 drops. He obtained it from completely extracting the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid sealed within the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid Collection Bowl.
After advancing in Sovereign-Level, Mu Chen could definitely feel the importance of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in cultivations. It was almost like eating rice, something that was essential. No wonder so many Sovereign Masters were willing to obey the orders of some forces in order to obtain Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
While Sovereign Spiritual Liquid did not make the world go ’round, it did allow Sovereign Masters to grind their skill…
That was just to break through First Grade Sovereign. I could not imagine how tremendous the amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid needed in future will be, thought Mu Chen helplessly. It seemed that he had to think of a way to store large amounts of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Otherwise, when he wanted to make the next breakthrough but did not have enough Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to sustain him, it would really give him immense grief.
He shook his head, trying to suppress those thoughts, and took a deep breath. With a flick of his finger, the crystal-clear alabaster jar in his palm abruptly melted away, and the Heavenly Pill was exposed. Instantly, the whole cultivation chamber was filled with the pill’s fragrance.
Mu Chen breathed in through his mouth, and the Heavenly Pill converted into a stream of light, directly entering his mouth.
Mu Chen quickly formed a seal with both hands. The space warp rippled behind him as the majestic Sovereign Sea loomed behind him. He could feel that there was a huge amount of spiritual energy emanating from his body.
Mu Chen calmed his mind and with a somber facial expression, he gradually closed his eyes and promptly entered the cultivation state. This time, he had to break through the level of First Grade Sovereign with courage!
Three days quickly passed.
During the three days, the cultivation chamber was completely covered with an extremely viscous spiritual cloud. Mu Chen’s silhouette could not be seen within.
However, in that opaque spiritual cloud, it could be felt that there was a wave of spiritual energy fluctuation rapidly growing stronger.
The spiritual cloud cover only started to weaken on the third day. The moment the spiritual cloud completely disappeared was exactly the moment Mu Chen was seen opening his mouth, sucking in the last bit of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
His surroundings were rippling with spiritual energy, but now it was rapidly fading away. Mu Chen’s tightly shut eyes opened slightly.
Boom!
When his black eyes opened, a radiant flash like a thunderbolt emerged all of a sudden, lifting Mu Chen’s robe vigorously while making loud noises. A surge of frightful spiritual energy rippled and broke out.
Bang! Bang!
The air in the cultivation chamber instantly exploded. When the shockwave from the explosion swept fiercely into the cultivation chamber’s wall, the concentrated radiance on the wall suddenly flashed and forcibly resisted the shockwave.
