Chapter 1288: Two Diagram Array Scrolls

After another month in the dungeon, Mu Chen slowly opened his eyes. The spiritual light in his dark eyes was so deep that it seemed as if it were starry. The light in his eyes twinkled, and then after a long time, everything was back to normal.

Huff.

A white arrow made of air spewed out slowly from Mu Chen’s mouth. The air arrow flew out and surprisingly, did not dissipate. Instead, it condensed in front of him, and after a few moments, gradually formed a small spiritual array.

Although this spiritual array was quite simple, it had been formed only by Mu Chen’s breath. From this point, it was clear that there had been a tremendous improvement in Mu Chen’s spiritual array attainment. In the past, he had never been able to create a spiritual array with one breath.

Mu Chen gazed at the white spiritual array, watching it gradually disperse. He murmured regretfully, “But what a pity… I’m still half a step away from breaking into the realm of Advance Ancestral Master,” but this regret was gone in a moment.

That was because Mu Chen could sense that his spiritual array accomplishments were already amazing compared to two months ago. However, it was obviously not as easy as he thought to break through into the realm of Advance Ancestral Master. On the other hand, he had a hunch that after he understood what his mother had left him, it would only be a matter of time before he could break through.

Moreover, although there was no successful breakthrough yet, Mu Chen now had the qualifications to try for Advance Ancestral Master. However, the failure rate of setting up spiritual arrays would be slightly higher.

Overall, this cultivation was of great benefit to Mu Chen. Not only was he about to break through to becoming an Advance Ancestral Master, but he was also beginning to understand the direction of the realm of the Great Master. This would make him break through to the realm of the Ancestral Master in the future. It would save him a lot of unnecessary detours.

There were also two of the most practical things left to him by his mother, besides spiritual array understanding and experience. There were two volumes of Diagram Array Scrolls. One volume of scrolls was for the Advance Ancestral Master’s Spiritual Array, “Blazing Fire Array.” The second volume of Diagram Array Scrolls was even scarier, so much so that even Mu Chen was frightened. This Diagram Array Scroll was an Ancestral Master-rank spiritual array, “Great Solar World Inferno Array!”

Mu Chen found the name of this array intimidating, but he yearned for it. He was eager to know what kind of destruction this high-ranking array would unleash once laid out. After all, even a Heavenly Sovereign would be immensely wary of this level of spiritual array.

Although Mu Chen could understand the Advance Ancestral Master-rank spiritual array, he had just begun to try it. Unfortunately, after seeing the Ancestral Master-rank spiritual array once, Mu Chen was shocked. He had yet to decipher its layout at all, let alone try it. Apparently, he was too far away from such a high-ranked spiritual array.

At the end of the day, he kept the memory of the Ancestral Master-rank spiritual array deep in his mind. He was prepared to wait until the time came, then research more on it.

The most important thing at the moment was to first understand the “Blazing Fire Array.” By the time he was finally able to arrange it successfully, it would be time for him to break through to Advance Ancestral Master-rank.

Many thoughts passed through Mu Chen’s mind, and then he bowed his head and looked at the smooth black stone ground. He smiled and said, “Mother, rest assured, the day I break through to Ancestral Master-rank will be the day I can bring you home from the Budur Ancient Clan!” At that time, he would have the power to counter even a Heavenly Sovereign, whom he once thought was out of reach.

Mu Chen touched the ground gently, then no longer lingered. He stood up, and his figure vanished on the spot.

On Spiritual Jade Island within the bamboo pavilion, Luo Li and Ling Xi saw Mu Chen suddenly emerge. Unconcealed joy surfaced on their faces.

“How did it go?” Ling Xi asked as she glanced at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen smiled and answered, “One step away.”

Upon hearing that, Ling Xi was not disappointed. She smiled and nodded. She had been immersed in spiritual array training for many years. Naturally, she knew how difficult it was to break through to Advance Ancestral Master. Even though she had received many of the reflections and experiences left by Aunt Jing, none of those things could be completely digested and accepted in just two months.

Looking at Mu Chen now, it was clear that his harvest was not small. He seemed to have enough confidence to accomplish a real breakthrough in the next period of time.

“We shouldn’t stay here for long. We’d better leave as soon as possible,” Mu Chen said, glancing at Luo Li and Ling Xi.

After all, this was the Budur Ancient Clan’s territory. Although Lion King Gu and Evil Fish Liang had escaped, they would certainly send other strong people to come and capture them if they knew about it. If they stayed here for too long, they would inevitably fall into a passive position.

Although he was becoming more powerful now, Mu Chen was not arrogant. He knew that it would be stupid to face a giant like the Budur Ancient Clan head-on.

When Luo Li heard his words, she looked at Ling Xi and then whispered, “We are going to go to the Ancient Holy Gulf.”

“Ancient Holy Gulf?” Mu Chen was surprised, as this was quite unfamiliar to him.

Luo Li smiled, then informed Mu Chen as much as possible about the Ancient Holy Gulf, and how she agreed to the Scarlet Flame Deity’s request to become an alternative candidate for the Great Spirit Ancient Clan’s Holy Maiden.

After listening to what Luo Li said, Mu Chen could not help but be astonished and ask anxiously, “You promised him you would run for the Great Spirit Ancient Clan’s Holy Maiden?” He was well aware of how many fierce struggles it took to become the Great Spirit Ancient Clan’s Holy Maiden.

Seeing Mu Chen’s concern for her, Luo Li’s heart swelled with sweet happiness. She smiled and said, “The Great Spirit Ancient Clan has a strong foundation, and if I can become their Holy Maiden, it will be a great opportunity for me.”

Although she said so, Mu Chen knew her very well. In a way, Luo Li was as independent and confident as he was, and she had her own pride. Even on her own, she was also able to strive towards the Heavenly Sovereign-stage and did not need to rely on external forces. Thus, she chose this for a greater reason, perhaps to be able to help him more in the future.

He could only look at Luo Li with a rather complicated expression. She smiled and gently grabbed his hand. Apparently, she had already made a decision.

Mu Chen was not a pretentious person. He naturally would remember whatever Luo Li did for him. At present, he did not say anything. If Luo Li had decided on it, then he would try his best to help her.

“However, I did not expect that the ‘Eight Budur’ and ‘Great Spirit Heaven Piercing Light’ would be in the Ancient Holy Gulf. These are two world-shaking Rare Super Powers of the Great Thousand World…”

Mu Chen turned his attention to the two Rare Super Powers and was astonished. He cultivated the Qi into Trinity, which was one of the 36 volumes of Rare Super Powers. Naturally, he was very clear about the terrible power such Rare Super Powers possessed. They were essentially the Great Thousand World’s top 36 Super Power Arts.

In the face of this level of power, even Heavenly Sovereigns would be tempted, let alone him. Otherwise, the Budur Ancient Clan and Great Spirit Ancient Clan would not put in so many years of painstaking effort to recover the two Rare Super Powers.

“If I can obtain the ‘Eight Budur’ after I become a Complete Earthly Sovereign, I would be able to counter even a Heavenly Sovereign.” Mu Chen’s eyes twinkled. The gap between a Complete Earthly Sovereign and Heavenly Sovereign was difficult to cross, but the 36 volumes of Rare Super Powers should be able to fill this gap.

“Hehheh, how ambitious. All the Young Lords of the Budur Ancient Clan are eyeing the ‘Eight Budur,’ and you want to eat from their mouths. I’m afraid it’s not that easy.” Beside them, the Scarlet Flame Deity could see through Mu Chen’s intentions at a glance and immediately laughed.

The present Mu Chen was also considered to be gifted, but after all, he lacked the Budur Ancient Clan’s support and resources. Compared to the Budur Ancient Clan’s Young Lords who enjoyed the resources to cultivate, there was still a bit of a gap.

However, Mu Chen smiled calmly at the Scarlet Flame Deity’s doubtful comments. “Who knows what will happen if we don’t try. No one knows who will have the last laugh.”

Seeing Mu Chen’s composure, the Scarlet Flame Deity was also a little surprised. He apparently did not expect the young Mu Chen to have such a calm state of mind without fear or anger.

The Scarlet Flame Deity stroked his beard and said, “You’re not bad, boy. If you didn’t have the Budur Ancient Clan’s bloodline, I would want to recommend you to my Great Spirit Ancient Clan.”

From a certain point, it would not have been possible for the Young Lords of the Budur Ancient Clan to be able to practice to this state at this age independently.

“Oh, I really want to see what kind of wonderful expression the stubborn old people of the Budur Ancient Clan will have when you become a Heavenly Sovereign. Haha, these old people always say that my Great Spirit Ancient Clan is not obeying the ancient precepts, and that we are tainting our noble bloodline. How very pedantic.”

Seeing the Scarlet Flame Deity chuckle gloatingly, Mu Chen was exasperated as he clasped his fists. “Elder Scarlet Flame, we will have to trouble you this time as we head to the Ancient Holy Gulf.”

The Scarlet Flame Deity waved his hand and said, “This is what I have promised Luo Li, so I will do it, of course. I can only send you in, but it’s up to you to as to whether or not you will eventually get the ‘Eight Budur’ and ‘Great Spirit Heaven Piercing Light.'”

Mu Chen nodded and said, “Then when shall we start?”

“Well, what better time than now!” The Scarlet Flame Deity acted immediately and without any nonsense, waved his sleeve. The scarlet gourd at his waist expanded greatly to 100 feet as he leapt agilely onto the gourd.

Mu Chen, Luo Li, Ling Xi, and Long Xiang quickly caught up and landed on the gourd as well.

“Let’s go!” The Scarlet Flame Deity laughed as the scarlet gourd shook fiercely. The space in front of them twisted and formed a space whirlpool. The gourd leapt into it, and they shuttled through space.

Mu Chen sat cross-legged on the gourd. He saw it flicker as it shuttled through space. He looked into the distance as an inexplicable hint of emotion colored his gaze.

“The Young Lord of the Budur Ancient Clan, is it… No matter what, I’m not going to hand the ‘Eight Budur’ over to you.”
