Chapter 674 - Refining the Great Solar Undying Body

At the entrance of the hall, Nine Nether heard Mu Chen’s muttering, and a smear of a smile appeared on her icy face. “Such a noisy person, it’s good for him to be beaten to death.”

“Then, I will work hard for it.” Mu Chen nodded his head.

Standing behind them, Tang Bing and Tang Rou bitterly smiled. They didn’t know where Mu Chen got his confidence from, but Wu Tian wasn’t someone that could be compared to Zhao Yue. Even amongst the Domain Lords of the Great Havenlaw Domain, he was towards the top. If they were to fight, the both of them couldn’t imagine Mu Chen’s outcome.

This fellow really doesn’t fear anything.

“Let’s go.”

Nine Nether smiled. The chill that she had previously, when she entered the palace, had disappeared as she waved her hand and was about to leave with them.

“Nine Nether!”

There was a sudden voice that rang out, halting Nine Nether’s steps, before she slightly turned her head around. She saw Xu Qing, donned in azure clothes. The latter’s gaze was radiant with joy as he stared at her.

“Oh, so it’s Xu Qing. What’s the matter?” Nine Nether raised her gaze with a smile, though her voice was warm, there was a cold tone in her voice that made her unapproachable.

Nine Nether’s character wasn’t easy to approach to begin with. Although she and Xu Qing could barely be considered as acquaintances, Xu Qing was no different from a stranger in her eyes.

Looking at Nine Nether’s slender gaze, Xu Qing was briefly stunned. The calm that he usually had disappeared, even his heartbeat was beating faster. His eyes were also getting even more radiant and heated.

“I welcome your return.” Xu Qing said, in the end, with a light tone.

“Thank you.”

Nine Nether indifferently nodded her head as she turned around and left with no intention to further converse with Xu Qing.

Just when Xu Qing had bucked up his courage and was about to speak more, his face dulled and shrugged his shoulders in self-mockery. Staring at that silhouette, the admiration in his eyes hadn’t lessened.

“Tsk, tsk, looks like you’re not any better than me.” Behind Xu Qing, there was a gloating voice that resounded. Turning his head, he saw Zhou Yue looking at him with a smile.

“At least I wasn’t beaten up.” Xu Qing’s expression returned to normal. Many people knew that Zhou Yue had feelings for Tang Bing; after all, that fellow hid in the Nine Nether Palace back then and was chased out by Tang Bing with a sword.

“Speaking of which, we do share the same fate.” Zhou Yue smiled and slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at the slender figure following behind Nine Nether. “I have already inquired. The man that followed Nine Nether back was called Mu Chen… looks like Nine Nether intends to have him represent the Nine Nether Palace for the Greatlaw Goldpond competition this time. What do you think?”

“Haha, it won’t implicate me, no matter what.” Xu Qing lightly smiled. He knew that it didn’t matter if Mu Chen was simple or not, it was absolutely not possible to shake his spot as the Head since he had high confidence in his own strength. The Head of the Four Great Domain Lords wasn’t something obtained through words alone.

“Yeah, looks like there will be a show to watch. I want to see how far this Mu Chen can go.” Zhou Yue smiled with his eyes narrowed.

The two laughed as they turned around and left.

…

“Xu Qing seems to still be interested in you.” Several figures streaked across the horizon. On the way back to the Nine Nether Palace, Mu Chen earnestly said as he approached Nine Nether.

“Shut up.” Nine Nether rolled her eyes at this fellow that had nothing else better to do.

Tang Bing and Tang Rou smiled.

“You have seen Wu Tian and Cao Feng, what do you feel? Are you confident? If you wish to obtain the quota of the Greatlaw Goldpond, you have to defeat one of them.” Nine Nether looked at Mu Chen as she said with a solemn expression.

“It’s still too early to speak about it.”

The youth briefly pondered as an easing smile appeared on his handsome face. He slowly clenched his fist. “But two months from now, I will win.”

Two months was sufficient for him to refine the Great Solar Undying Body. At that time, he wouldn’t have to fear any opponents of the same level as his Sovereign Celestial Body.

Even if Wu Tian had the strength of Second Grade Sovereign, there was no need to fear.

Tang Bing and Tang Rou were surprised, after seeing the confidence that was revealed by the youth. They still weren’t too familiar with Mu Chen, so they didn’t understand how much he could improve in just two months. After all, there was still a considerable distance between him and Wu Tian and Cao Feng.

Although they had their doubts in their hearts, they did not speak about them when they saw Nine Nether lightly nodding her head. They believed in Nine Nether, and Nine Nether believed in Mu Chen. So, naturally, they would believe in Mu Chen as well.

Perhaps he might genuinely accomplish it.

“Work hard.”

Tang Bing and Tang Rou exchanged a glance as they softly said to Mu Chen. Their similar appearance had traces of encouragement and expectation at this moment. After Nine Nether’s return, the first battle of their Nine Nether Palace was the most crucial one.

Looking at the encouragement and expectation in the eyes of the two girls, Mu Chen raised his head as he deeply inhaled a mouthful of air. Shortly after, he lightly smiled. Looks like I definitely have to obtain the quota for the Greatlaw Goldpond.

However, he was even more eager about finally starting refining the Great Solar Undying Body that he had been dreaming about.

This would be the starting point of his path towards being a supreme expert.

…

Blood Hawk Hall

Blood Hawk King’s face was dark as he slightly narrowed his eyes. The eerie killing intent that was spread out made all the experts in the hall yo not dare speak a word.

Anyone could tell that Blood Hawk King was extremely enraged at this moment.

“Lord, are we going to slow down our speed in swallowing the Nine Nether Palace for the time being?” An expert of the Blood Hawk Hall softly said.

“Slow down?”

Blood Hawk King opened his eyes and coldly looked over, causing the expert that previously spoke to feel a chill down their spine.

“Just a whimsical woman wants to let this King feel fear?” Blood Hawk King’s speech was cold.

“Pass my orders, quicken our speed in taking over those cities under the Nine Nether Palace. As long as they join our Blood Hawk Hall, this King will grant them all sorts of benefit. Otherwise, they will be looking down on our Blood Hawk Hall, and in the future, when that King fusses over it…” Blood Hawk King waved his hand as he said with a cold sneer.

“Yes!” The upper hierarchy of the Blood Hawk Hall immediately replied.

A smear of an eerie smile rose on the corner of Blood Hawk King’s lips as he continued, “Looks like Nine Nether places great importance on that brat named Mu Chen. Since her confidence was that great… you guys cripple him during the competition of the Greatlaw Goldpond.”

Hearing his words, Wu Tian and Cao Feng exchanged a look as savage smiles appeared on their faces.

“We had the same thoughts, as well.”

…

Nine Nether Palace, Cultivating Chamber

Mu Chen was quietly sitting with a calm expression, there weren’t any ripples of Spiritual Energy around him. He had yet to begin his cultivation and had quietly sat down for the past two hours. Only when his heart became as calm as water, did he slowly open his eyes.

He formed seals with both of his hand, then a dark light flew out of his body and hovered before him. It was the mysterious black paper that had the cultivation method of the Great Solar Undying Body, the Immortal Page.

Mu Chen quietly looked at it. This mysterious black piece of paper contained secrets that could make countless Sovereign experts go crazy. The real worth of the Immortal Page could even cause Heavenly Sovereigns to be disturbed.

After summoning this black piece of paper out, Mu Chen’s seals changed once again. Three lumps of light flew out and those three lumps of light contained terrifying fluctuations of Spiritual Energies. Vaguely, there was a flow of water resounding. That was sign that the amount of Spiritual Energy had reached a frightening degree.

Those three lumps of light were the materials that Mu Chen had given a great deal of effort to obtain.

Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi

Void Great Solar Fruit

Undying Divine Leaf

These three materials were scarce. Mu Chen had expended a great deal of effort to obtain them. But, fortunately, he managed to gather them.

He could finally cultivate the Great Solar Undying Body that was originally out of his reach.

Mu Chen’s slender hand slowly landed on the Immortal Page. A dark light surged on the mysterious black paper that flowed out from his finger and into his body.

Boundless ancient information exploded in Mu Chen’s mind. That flow caused his body to faintly tremble. However, he had forcefully endured it and accepted that great information. The complicated method of refining the Great Solar Undying Body.

The acceptance of the message lasted for a dozen minutes, before it came to an end.

Mu Chen abruptly opened his eyes and his black pupils stared at the three treasures. His gaze was filled with solemn. He knew from that information that he only had one chance to refine the Great Solar Undying Body.

It wasn’t just because of the rarity of materials, there were other reasons as well. The instant he failed, it would be hard for his body to be compatible with the Great Solar Undying Body. Even if he managed to gather the materials again in the future, it would be impossible for him to succeed.

There wasn’t a second chance for the Great Solar Undying Body. The moment he failed, he would lose the opportunity forever. Such harsh condition made Mu Chen’s heart jolt.

But the shock was soon suppressed by him. He deeply inhaled a mouthful of air, and no longer had hesitation in his eyes.

No matter how hard it is to cultivate the Great Solar Undying Body, I will definitely not give up!

Furthermore, I have to succeed in refining it!

Because I have already given my promise to that girl!

Mu Chen formed seals, and his gaze grew sharp and firm.

Let’s begin!
