Chapter 816 - Seizing the King Sea
t
For the next ten days, Mu Chen had not taken a step out of the Nine Nether Palace, blocking any disturbance from the outside world and had gone into the cultivation chamber for seclusion.
After knowing some news about Luo Li, he knew that the hard work and improvement he had done so far was far from enough, compared to that girl who was also working hard.
There was still a long way to the promise that he had made with that girl. Therefore, now wasn’t the time for him to be satisfied and relax.
He needed to become even stronger!
After blocking all disturbances and entering his seclusion training, the Northern Region was swept again by his news, which caused quite a bit of commotion. After all, he was the first one that managed to step onto the tenth step of the Dragon-Phoenix Haven after all these years, so how could the experts in the Northern Region not be startled by his feat?
Especially after knowing that Mu Chen’s strength was just in the Third Grade Sovereign, defeating Liu Yan and obstructing the Netherworld Prince. After knowing those achievements, the astonishments became even more intense.
Every single opening of the Dragon-Phoenix Haven would cause great changes to the Dragon-Phoenix Record. It wasn’t an exception this time as well, with Mu Chen being the most dazzling dark horse.
Whether it was his achievements of defeating Liu Yan, obstructing the Netherworld Prince or ascending the tenth step of the Dragon-Phoenix Stairs, it was sufficient to have his name spread amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region.
Therefore, after the assessment of many experts, the Dragon-Phoenix Record changed. Mu Chen’s name had directly replaced Liu Yan and was ranked the third, exceeding experts like Su Biyue, Hong Yu and the rest.
Above his ranking was the Netherworld Prince and Fang Yi, who had not changed. The strength displayed by those two surpassed everyone, even Mu Chen, who had a brilliant display of his ability this time, he could only barely obstruct the Netherworld Prince.
As for Cai Xiao, who made the brightest display in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, she was like a legend. After the Dragon-Phoenix Haven had come to an end, Cai Xiao left the Northern Region, leaving a breathtaking silhouette behind. Because of the fact that she was not someone of the Northern Region, her name did not appear on the Dragon-Phoenix Record. But those that partook in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven could never forget her. She had a stunning beauty like a queen, and even geniuses like Fang Yi and the Netherworld Prince were not on her level.
In the Dragon-Phoenix Mountain Range, the identity that Cai Xiao had revealed shock to many peak forces in the Northern Region, the daughter of the Flame Emperor. Even the Divine Pavilion did not dare to overlook this. That’s because only colossi at their level had a better understanding of how powerful the Endless Fire Territory and the Flame Emperor were in the Great Thousand World.
Just thinking about it, even the Divine Pavilion and the Netherworld Palace felt fearful. It was fortunate that Cai Xiao had defeated Fang Yi and the Netherworld Prince. Otherwise, if she was defeated and suffered heavy injuries, thus attracting the rage of the Endless Fire Territory, that would definitely spell trouble.
And this sort of thought made those peak forces feel down. After all, they stood at the pinnacle of the Northern Region, yet they’re actually afraid of bringing harm to someone and bringing an annihilation disaster onto them…
But they couldn’t be blamed, since such a colossus like the Endless Fire Territory was too terrifying.
After Mu Chen’s name was placed third on the Dragon-Phoenix Record, the commotion in the Great Havenlaw Domain had slowly died down, replaced with an even more attractive occasion.
The King’s Ceremony.
In the eyes of the experts of the Great Havenlaw Domain, it was something that attracted their attention even more than the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, since the King’s Ceremony was an event related to their personal interests.
The Great Havenlaw Domain possessed a vast territory, with experts like clouds beneath them. However, the hierarchy of the Great Havenlaw Domain was extremely strict. The Domain Ruler, the dictator, and beneath it was the Three Emperors, Nine Kings, the various Commanders, the City Lords and the subsidiary forces. Rising in the hierarchy would represent an increase in resources and status.
The Three Emperors all possessed powerful strength, only those reaching Seventh Grade Sovereign could be titled an Emperor. Hence, there weren’t many in the Great Havenlaw Domain that possessed this qualification.
The status of a King was also extremely attractive in the Great Havenlaw Domain. That’s because, by becoming a King, they would be able to form their own troops. Not only could they obtain a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids from the Great Havenlaw Domain, they would also even be distributed with cities. When attacking other forces, they’re only required to submit a smaller portion of their harvest to the Great Havenlaw Domain compared to the other cities and subsidiary forces. Therefore, there were many people yearning for the King status.
According to custom, the Kings were those that could reach the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm. Naturally, Nine Nether was an exception, since she had the huge backing of the Nine Nether Bird Clan behind her. Strictly speaking, such Divine Beasts’ Clans with a long history were something that even Mandala would fear. Therefore, there was an exception made for Nine Nether.
It was impossible for the other experts to have such opportunities, so they could only fight for it with their own strengths.
And so, the King’s Ceremony was an occasion of bestowing Kingship. Therefore, it could be imagined how important it was.
Therefore, when the Northern Region was still in an uproar from Mu Chen taking third in the Dragon-Phoenix Record, the experts of the Great Havenlaw Domain had directed all their attention towards the pending King’s Ceremony.
As long as they had successfully been titled a King, their status would soar in the Great Havenlaw Domain.
Therefore, under the anxious wait of many experts, the King’s Ceremony had finally arrived, as scheduled.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Today, the Great Havenlaw Domain was undoubtedly the most bustling in the entire year. There were streaks of light flying towards the Greatlaw Sky like locusts from every direction.
The security in the Greatlaw Sky today was also even tighter, even the troops beneath the Kings have helped to maintain order, preventing chaos from happening, which would embarrass themselves.
However, judging from this spectacular scene, the King’s Ceremony was, indeed, worthy of being the most popular occasion in the Great Havenlaw Domain. Many people were also very excited about this, since everyone wished to know who would become the tenth King.
Nine Nether Palace
Outside the cultivation chamber stood two figures. The one standing in front was, naturally, Nine Nether, with Tang Bing, dressed in black, behind.
At this moment, the latter had her gaze fixed on the tightly shut cultivation chamber, “The King’s Ceremony will start soon and that fella is still not out yet.”
Nine Nether smiled, not looking hurried. “Everything must be properly prepared. After all, seizing the tenth King is not a simple task.”
“Hmph, just for that fellow’s seclusion, I took out over 200,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid with great effort. If he fails, I’ll make him cough it back out.” Tang Bing said with a little heartache. She was the housekeeper of the Nine Nether Palace, with all the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in the Nine Nether Palace under her control. Nine Nether had given him 200,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid for his seclusion this time, which had to go through Tang Bing in order to make the withdrawal.
“What a little miser. Relax, he’s worth the investment.” Nine Nether couldn’t help smiling as she rubbed Tang Bing’s face and teased, “You can invest yourself over as well, I’ll guarantee your ample profits in the future.”
“Big Sister!”
Tang Bing’s face grew red. She had maintained a cold bearing in the Nine Nether Palace, most of the time, so she looked somewhat imposing. Therefore, such an act of a little girl being bashful was rare to sight.
“Who wants to invest in me?” At this time, the cultivation chamber suddenly opened with a laughter ringing out from it. Mu Chen walked out and looked at the two girls with a smile on his face.
Seeing Mu Chen showing up, Tang Bing’s face grew redder. Shortly after, she swept a glance at Mu Chen before her brows knitted. “You did not break through?”
Although the Spiritual Energy around Mu Chen was even more refined at this moment, he was still at the level of Third Grade Sovereign and did not break through to Fourth Grade Sovereign like Tang Bing had predicted.
Hearing her words, Mu Chen’s face instantly became bitter as he smiled, “What do you see me as? You want me to make a breakthrough after a single seclusion?”
Tang Bing’s face was red as she muttered, “Then, weren’t all those Sovereign Spiritual Liquids wasted?”
Mu Chen helplessly rolled his eyes.
Nine Nether circled around Mu Chen with her gaze lightly flickering. Her eyes were more keen than Tang Bing’s, so she could sense that judging from Mu Chen’s current Spiritual Energy, it was extremely full. Furthermore, he seemed to be suppressing something on purpose.
“Looks like your harvest in this seclusion is pretty good.” Nine Nether smiled.
Mu Chen smiled but he did not speak a word. He stretched his waist and looked at the sky outside the Nine Nether Palace. He could sense the numerous powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations coming from every direction.
“Indeed, it’s worthy of being the most popular occasion in the Great Havenlaw Domain.” Mu Chen was a little startled. After being in the Great Havenlaw Domain for so long, this was the first time that he had seen so many people gathering in one place.
“Are you prepared?” Nine Nether smiled as she looked at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as his gaze gradually turned solemn and lightly nodded his head. This time, in the King’s Ceremony, be it the Greatlaw City’s City Lord Qin Zhong or the Ghost Moon Sect’s Qiu Taiyin, their strength definitely wouldn’t be weaker than the Netherworld Prince.
If he wanted to be titled a King, there would definitely be an intense battle taking place.
But, no matter what, it was impossible for him to cower.
Mu Chen raised his head as the face of a girl flashed across his mind. He clenched his fist as he walked out.
“Let’s go.”
The seat of the Tenth King, he’s determined to seize it.
For the next ten days, Mu Chen had not taken a step out of the Nine Nether Palace, blocking any disturbance from the outside world and had gone into the cultivation chamber for seclusion.
