Mu Chen stood on the Golden Dragon Token Amulet as he looked at the lively Heavenly River. However, he did not remain in place, but directly controlled the Golden Dragon Token Amulet and went deeper into the Heavenly River. He was going to try to see if the idea in his mind was feasible.

The Heavenly River, due to its vast spiritual power, was full of terrible spiritual power oppression, and the deeper one ventured, the greater the spiritual oppression was. An ordinary Disciple Token Amulet would not be able to explore further, but fortunately, Mu Chen had the highest-ranking Golden Dragon Token Amulet, which allowed him to swim freely in the Heavenly River.

As Mu Chen went deeper into the Heavenly River, the people around him became increasingly scarce, and he stopped after selecting a quiet spot. He sat down on the Golden Dragon Token Amulet again, then wiggled his fingers gently. Suddenly, a trail of spiritual seals emerged from his fingertips and surged out, melting quickly into the void.

In a few moments, a spiritual array appeared in front of Mu Chen. This spiritual array did not have any lethal power because it was just a Spirit Convergence Array. This was Mu Chen’s bait, and the fish, naturally, were the Heavenly River Spirits.

In his previous observations, Mu Chen had found that every Heavenly River Spirit appeared where the spiritual energy of the Heavenly River gathered. Thus, it was obvious that the Heavenly River Spirits instinctively went to these places full of spiritual energy. They were driven to constantly absorb spiritual energy to strengthen themselves.

In that case, Mu Chen no longer had to struggle to find the Heavenly River Spirits. He could build a place full of spiritual energy and then lure the Heavenly River Spirits to come automatically. Of course, where there was bait, there must also be a net.

Mu Chen looked at the Spirit Convergence Array and smiled. Spiritual seals condensed on his fingertips again and then shot into the array, fusing quickly into it. A continuous stream of spiritual seals shot out as the spiritual array rapidly took form. However, Mu Chen did not activate it, but instead, hid it, and then continued to cultivate spiritual seals, laying out layer after layer outside the Spirit Convergence Array.

These spiritual arrays were just heaven-level, so Mu Chen had to achieve his goal by using a massive quantity of them. Of course, it was not enough to deal with the Heavenly River Spirits, which were comparable to Complete Grade Nines. Thus, after laying out more than a dozen layers of heaven-level spiritual arrays, Mu Chen took a deep breath, and his face grew grave.

Countless spiritual seals surged out from his hands like flying butterflies, melting into the void. They gradually built up outside the peripheral layers of the spiritual arrays. The process of setting up spiritual arrays took a lot of time, because this was an incomplete Ancestral Master rank spiritual array, the Nine Dragon Devouring Fairy Array.

When the last spiritual seal melted into the void, and they began to connect to each other, Mu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. His palm fell, he looked ahead, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. Although it seemed calm there, only he knew that it had been built into a perilous arena. Even if a Complete Grade Nine entered it, they would face inevitable death.

Now, let’s see if this works. A look of anticipation flashed in Mu Chen’s eyes as he flicked his finger. This activated the Spirit Convergence Array at the innermost circle, and as light bloomed, a suction force erupted.

Whoosh.

The surrounding waters of the Heavenly River rippled as spiritual energy visible to the eye poured in and rapidly converged towards the Spirit Convergence Array.

Due to the vastness of the spiritual energy in the Heavenly River, the effect of this spiritual array was surprisingly good. However, in just a few moments, the river water in the Spirit Convergence Array had started to show signs of condensing into crystal shards of spiritual energy. Traces of spiritual clouds were also emitted. The spiritual energy in it was obviously more pure and powerful than the rest of the Heavenly River.

Mu Chen looked at the scene and nodded slightly. The bait had been successfully arranged, and all that was left now was to see if the fish would take the bait. If not, he could only choose the most primitive but inefficient way of achieving his goal.

Mu Chen sat quietly on the Golden Dragon Token Amulet with his eyes closed. He set up a spiritual array that hid his spiritual fluctuations from being detected by the Heavenly River Spirits.

Deep in the Heavenly River, there was silence, but there were also occasional waves. Time passed slowly, but there was still no movement around him. Mu Chen frowned as his brows knit together. Has my plan failed?

I should wait a while more. Mu Chen suppressed his impatience and was ready to continue to wait.

He waited about ten minutes more, but there was still no movement in his surroundings. He was gradually disappointed, and just as he was considering giving up, there was a ripple of movement in the river in front of him. He suddenly looked up.

Whoosh.

The river rippled as a ray of light appeared in the distance and then quickly floated over. Joy emerged in Mu Chen’s eyes, for that ray of light was a Heavenly River Spirit.

The Heavenly River Spirit came rapidly with its light flickering unsteadily, as if it were in a hurry. It came straight to the Spirit Convergence Array, which was its apparent goal.

Glee surfaced in his heart as his speculation had been right, indeed. The Heavenly River Spirit swayed as it quickly appeared at the outermost spiritual array layer. It slowed down suddenly, as if it had noticed something. Mu Chen’s heart jumped as the Heavenly River Spirit seemed to detect strange fluctuations in the surrounding river.

The Heavenly River Spirit lingered outside the spiritual array, hesitating somewhat. To it, the mighty power that emanated from the spiritual array was like the most delicious food that it longed for.

The Heavenly River Spirit wandered for a while, but its simple spiritual intelligence was such that it could not give up the temptation before it, and it rushed head first into the Spirit Convergence Array.

Buzz.

It perched on the Spirit Convergence Array, devouring the insanely powerful spiritual energy within as it buzzed and shook cheerfully. As the Heavenly River Spirit devoured the spiritual energy with gusto, a smile emerged on Mu Chen’s face. Now that the fish was finally hooked, it was time to reel it in!

Boom!

As Mu Chen was thinking this, layer upon layer of hidden spiritual arrays suddenly exploded outside the Spirit Convergence Array. Spiritual array runes appeared, transformed into layers of spiritual arrays, and enveloped the Spirit Convergence Array. The sudden burst of spiritual energy fluctuations shocked the Heavenly River Spirit as it immediately shot out into a stream of light and tried to escape.

At this point, however, it was obviously too late.
