Chapter 962: Two months to Prepare

“Two months from now, I will go to the Nine Netherbird Clan.”

Mandela was not surprised by Mu Chen’s decision. She looked at him and said, “What Heavenly Sparrow Elder said is true. Based on your current strength, if you do not tap into the power of the fighting spirit, it will be impossible for you to get into fourth place.”

Mu Chen was only a Grade Five Sovereign. The two geniuses of the Nine Netherbird Clan were more powerful than Liu Qing, which meant that Mu Chen might be dealing with Grade Seven Sovereigns if he were to vie with them over the last place of the quota.

Given their Divine Beasts’ nature, they would have amazing combat force. It would be difficult for Mu Chen to snatch the last place away from them. Moreover, even if he managed to win, he had to face the geniuses from the Spiritual Beasts’ clans in order to help Nine Nether get the Undying Bird’s divine blood. There would be more powerful beings which Mu Chen might not be able to handle given his current strength.

Mu Chen was not embarrassed when Mandela pointed out the facts to him. He simply smiled and said, “What you have said is true, but… don’t I have two more months?”

“Eh?”

When Mandela and the Three Kings heard it, they were shocked. After a while, they looked hopefully at him.

When Mu Chen saw their gazes, he nodded. Previously, he had advanced to Grade Five Sovereign at the Meteorfall Battlefield with the help of the Meteorfall Alchemy. After that, he had not had another breakthrough, as he had chosen to build on his spiritual energy which had reached the perfect stage.

During his recent cultivation, he could feel that the spiritual energy in his Sovereign Sea was rich, and he could control it with ease. The wavering feeling that he had previously was longer present.

He could now seek another breakthrough!

Mu Chen looked at Mandela and said with a smile, “However, I will need your help, Dominator.”

“Tell me,” Mandela waved her hand and said gallantly.

“In order to have a breakthrough, I will need a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. I would like to borrow 1,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid from you,” Mu Chen said with a smile.

Mu Chen would need a lot of reserve for his spiritual energy. He had finished the Meteorfall Alchemy and could only depend on the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid for now. However, he had none of it for his cultivation.

Although Nine Nether Palace had risen in power and had become the top among the lords in the number of cities that they were in charge of, Mu Chen did not earn a lot. As Nine Nether Palace expanded, they needed more Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Moreover, it was not time for the cities to pay their tributes. Nine Nether Palace could not exploit them at a time when they had not totally gained the acceptance of the people. If they had done so, the people would oppose them.

“A million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid? Sure. I will get someone to send it over to you later.” Mandela immediately agreed to his request. Mu Chen had contributed much during the Big Hunting War. It would not be enough to compensate his contributions simply by rewarding Nine Nether Palace.

“Hey, you are our man. You must not let the Nine Netherbird Clan look down on you. Just let us know what you need. We will get it for you.”

Mu Chen looked at Mandela, who acted as though she were filthy rich, and laughed uncontrollably. After pondering for a while, he did not stand on ceremony and said, “In that case, can you help me get some Spiritual Array Maps? If possible, Heavenly Grade Array Maps would be the best…”

“Heavenly Grade Array Maps?”

When Mandela heard the four words, she was shocked. She sized Mu Chen up and asked, “Are you able to form Heavenly Grade Spiritual Arrays now? In that case… are you now a Heavenly Grade Spiritual Array Master?”

There were three grades of Spiritual Array Master that corresponded to Grade Nine Sovereign. When Mu Chen had formed the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array with the four lotuses, it was merely an Earth Grade Spiritual Array. He had not reached the Heavenly Grade then. As Mu Chen had not used the Spiritual Array for a long time, Mandela had forgotten that he was a Spiritual Array Master.

When Mu Chen brought this up, Mandela and the Three Kings then remembered. The war troop dispatcher had branched out from Spiritual Array Master, and Mu Chen had great talent in Spiritual Arrays. This contributed to his amazing progress with the fighting spirit.

The Three Kings looked at Mu Chen in shock. If Mu Chen could form a Heavenly Grade Spiritual Array, he could contend with a Grade Seven Sovereign even with the simplest Heavenly Grade Spiritual Array.

Mu Chen saw their astonished looks and said with a smile, “Although I am still not very good at it, I seem to be getting the hang of it. If I can study the Heavenly Grade Array Maps, I believe I should be able to get something going.”

Although Mu Chen had not focused on cultivating the spiritual array for almost a year, he had not stopped practicing it totally. It was simply a change in priorities.
