Crash!
The blood-red ocean filled the vast space, and an immense spiritual aura was evaporating unceasingly, condensing into a thick mist. As the spiritual fog became thicker, it turned into spirit clouds. Immediately, a heavy spirit rain fell, causing ripples to crease the sea.
Although the ocean was an accumulation of the Blood Essence of innumerable top-tier Divine Beasts, surprisingly, there was not a hint of blood in its scent. The purity of its spiritual energy was beyond all that Mu Chen had ever witnessed. According to his estimation, even combining several top-tier Spirit Convergence Arrays, they could not amalgamate such an immense spiritual energy.
At this moment, as Mu Chen sat on the surface of the ocean cross-legged, allowing the cold shower to rain upon his body. A golden light was shimmering on his skin, which was greedily absorbing all of the spirit droplets.
Crash!
Waves stirred on the sea behind him, and a giant divine beast that was as massive as a whale leaped into the sky, then plunged immediately back down into the sea, passing through Mu Chen’s body. Mu Chen’s body remained still, allowing the divine beasts to pass through him like holograms.
He had been performing his cultivation for a month on the ocean. This was because he was determined that he would not impatiently absorb the spiritual energies madly, nor attempt a breakthrough.
This was because, not long ago, he had borrowed the power of the Nine Rotation Lotus to break through to Grade Seven Sovereign. In such a short time, if he attempted another breakthrough, he might be able to attain it thanks to the miraculous powers here. But, that would most likely move the sturdy foundation of his cultivation, which could cause some unwanted repercussions in the future.
As Mu Chen was not a fool, he calmly suppressed his desire to breakthrough hastily, instead choosing to cultivate in silence, allowing the spiritual energy to flow in him while he absorbed the spiritual energy from the outside. Thus, he needed an overflowing breakthrough.
This type of breakthrough, while slow, was the most reliable kind. Also, in this space, where the rules of time were always changing, Mu Chen had plenty of time to work with.
But, his choice was not a common one, as anyone else who entered this treasured land of cultivation would be taken over by a lust for power. As such, they would not know how to control themselves, which would lead them to take in as much of these energies as they could.
This would prove disastrous, as it would be the equivalent of one’s quenching his thirst with poison! In the long run, it was merely a foolish act committed for instant gratification.
While Mu Chen’s method may seem sluggish, it ensured him a steady and safe growth in strength. He would then be able to proceed further on in his future path of cultivation.
Though Mu Chen did not purposely cultivate his spiritual energy, he still reaped a few rewards. At the very least, he had improved dramatically in regards to the other aspects of cultivation.
On the ocean, as Mu Chen sat cross-legged quietly, his eyes opened slowly. As he raised his palm, waves suddenly rose from the sea’s surface. In the next moment, the sea was torn apart, and two shadows leaped out from it swiftly.
The two shadows circled around Mu Chen, each glowing with a golden radiance. These were the spirits of the Real Dragon and the Real Phoenix!
They were experiencing a huge transformation. Their once holographic figures were slowly materializing via their devouring of a huge amount of Divine Beast Blood Essence. While they were still far from being fully materialized, they were still much more real now versus back when they were still hollow figures.
Furthermore, there seemed to be a hint of dark gold on their bodies, making them appear even more tyrannical. The spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix flew around Mu Chen, emitting gusts of oppressive spiritual energy fluctuations unceasingly.
Looking at them, Mu Chen was surprised. Within the short time of a month, they had grown tremendously! As the spiritual energy had been sufficiently concentrated, the spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix could now detach from Mu Chen’s body. They could even engage in combat independently within a certain range.
In the event that they would go to battle, Mu Chen estimated that they could oppose a Grade Seven Sovereign, even without his aid. This was akin to his bringing along a powerful helper.
Furthermore, this helper had a huge potential to grow! Mu Chen had no doubt that, when the spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix completed their growths, their strengths would strike fear in even the Earthly Sovereigns’ hearts!
Of course, they still had a long way to go before they reached that stage. For now, Mu Chen had to cultivate and develop the spirits. One day, they would become truly powerful.
