The Great Ruler

Chapter 967 - Heaven Grade Spiritual Array

The five scrolls emitted a bizarre light as they hovered before Mu Chen. All five scrolls were emitting profound undulations with complicated runes carved on the surface of the scrolls.

Heaven Grade Spiritual Array.

Mu Chen's gaze became slightly ablaze as this was the first time he had seen such scrolls. Thus, he couldn't restrain himself as the five scrolls fell in his palm.

Spiritual Energy blossomed from Mu Chen's palm and entered the five scrolls, before a large amount of information swept towards his mind like a storm.

Top Rank Earth Grade Spiritual Array - Azure Lotus Spiritual Sword Array

Top Rank Earth Grade Spiritual Array - Skynet Array

Top Rank Earth Grade Spiritual Array - Indestructible Golden Bell Array

Those three were the first top Earth Grade Spiritual Arrays that appeared in his mind. These grade of Spiritual Arrays were things that even Sixth Grade Sovereigns would extremely fear.

Out of the three Spiritual Arrays, one was an offensive Spiritual Array, a restraining Spiritual Array and a defensive Spiritual Array, all with impressive might. Naturally, Mandala had been diligent when she collected the scrolls.

But those three Spiritual Arrays were not the ones that made Mu Chen's heart tremble. As his heart shook, golden light blossomed in his mind as the lights formed into words.

Low Rank Heaven Grade Spiritual Array - Sky Mount Divine Seal

Low Rank Heaven Grade Spiritual Array - God Annihilation Array

Mu Chen sensed the huge amount of information in his mind, before he slowly opened his eyes. Unconcealable joy was surging in his eyes as he tightly held onto the scrolls and murmured, "Heaven Grade Spiritual Array…"

Although the Heaven Grade Spiritual Array was low-ranked, even a Seventh Grade Sovereign would be heavily injured by it.

"I wanted to help you collect some high rank Spiritual Arrays, but time's too rushed… Most of these Spiritual Arrays are in the hands of Spiritual Array Masters, and Spiritual Array Masters view those arrays as important as their lives, so it's not easy to get them to sell them," said Mandala.

"It's enough."

Mu Chen nodded his head. With his current strength, it's a little forceful even for him to lay out a Low Rank Heaven Grade Spiritual Array and he even needed to gain some comprehension from them if he really wanted to lay out the Spiritual Arrays.

So, even if Mandala found a Middle Rank or High Rank Heaven Grade Spiritual Array, it's impossible for him to set it up.

"Among those two Heaven Grade Spiritual Arrays, the last one is extremely powerful. When I purchase it, it had exceeded the price of the other Heaven Grade Spiritual Array by a fold." Mandala looked at the utmost left scroll in Mu Chen's palm as she said.

Mu Chen's eyes flickered, since he knew that Mandala was speaking about the God Annihilation Array. After skimming through the information in his mind, his eyes had suddenly contracted.

"This God Annihilation Array is not complete…" Mu Chen said slowly as the light flickering in his eyes grew even more intense.

"This is an Ancient Spiritual Scroll from the primordial times. There's a total of three scrolls and the God Annihilation Array is one of them. If you can gather all three scrolls, you can even kill a Greater Earth Sovereign."

When the three Emperors heard her words, a smear of shock flashed on their faces. A Spiritual Array that could slaughter a Greater Earth Sovereign Realm, could it be the legendary Scholar Array?

"But it's a pity… that this God Annihilation Array is the weakest amongst the three of them, and thus, it was spread around. But the two other scrolls are extremely rare, so the chances of gathering them won't be high." Mu Chen shook his head as he somewhat felt pity.

If you could gather the three scrolls, then the price of it wouldn't be any inferior to the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid. After all, Scholar Grade Spiritual Arrays were extremely tempting to Spiritual Array Scholars.

"But even if it's the weakest amongst the three scrolls, the power of it is stronger than ordinary Low Rank Heaven Grade Spiritual Arrays. It's no wonder why the price of it is so high, it's simply worth it." Mu Chen smiled. It looked like he had to thoroughly study and comprehend this God Annihilation Array. With this array, it'd definitely be a pretty good killer move. But if that's the case, then he would be somewhat confident in going to the Divine Beast Origin.

Mu Chen had quite a bit confidence in himself through this breakthrough. With his current strength, even if he didn't use any Spiritual Array, dealing with Liu Qing wouldn't be a problem.

"There's still half a month till the two months deadline is up. So you can cultivate for another ten days, we will head for the Nine Netherbird Clan after that!" said Mandala.

"Okay."

Mu Chen nodded his head. Since he had just broken through, he, indeed, needed several days to get used to the growth of strength in his body. At the same time, he needed to comprehend the Spiritual Arrays in order to set them up.

With a decision, Mu Chen no longer delayed and his figure moved, flying towards the Nine Nether Palace like a streak of light, and entered in the serene depths of the Nine Nether Palace.

Over the next half a month, Mu Chen did not take a step out of the Nine Nether Palace and had spent all his time on sensing the Spiritual Energy in his body and comprehending the Heaven Grade Spiritual Arrays.

In the process of comprehending the Heaven Grade Spiritual Arrays, Mu Chen had also gradually tried to set up the arrays. But at the start, his attempts had all ended up in failure, causing violent Spiritual Energy shock wave to explode in the depths of the Nine Nether Palace from each of his failures. This caused many experts in the Nine Nether Palace to be fearful, since they could sense the Spiritual Energy explosion was something that not even Sixth Grade Sovereigns could withstand.

However, this string of failures lasted for ten days, before they started to decrease and the explosions from the arrays were only in small amounts. During the last one or two days, the explosions had completely disappeared. At the same time, a torrential Spiritual Energy soared into the sky in the depths of the Nine Nether Palace and a spiritual light blossomed in every direction. There seemed to be a something terrifying brewing within…

The changes had caused the experts of the Nine Nether Palace to be fearful and many of them looked towards the depths of the Nine Nether Palace. But as they felt fearful, the thing that was brewing did not seem to explode but had quietly disappeared.

Many experts exchanged looks from this situation and they could only think of it as Mu Chen's failure once again as they sighed in pity…

As everyone was feeling pity regarding this matter, Mu Chen stood at a courtyard in the depths of the Nine Nether Palace with his hands behind his back, looking at the Spiritual Energy undulations that were gradually dissipating. His gaze lightly flickered as he smiled. Judging from his looks, there wasn't any dismay of failure, but a smear of insight.

"The Heaven Grade Spiritual Array…" Mu Chen lowered his head as he looked at his fair hands and gently smiled.

After attempting for nearly half a month, despite the numerous failures, Mu Chen had also started to experience the power of the Heaven Grade Spiritual Array for himself, it was far stronger than any Earth Grade Spiritual Array.

He had not wasted his effort to search for opportunity in midst of failures.

As Mu Chen sighed in his heart, fine footsteps resounded from outside the courtyard and he immediately smiled. Before they could even speak, he had already called out, "Come in."

The two silhouettes that walked into the courtyard were naturally the two sisters, Tang Bing and Tang Rou. Tang Bing had taken up the task to manage the Nine Nether Palace and her position was just lower than Mu Chen and Nine Nether's. Despite being in such a high position, it had given her an aloof atmosphere, since she was initially icy and arrogant.

Tang Rou was still as shy as before, even if she was extremely familiar with Mu Chen. Her face had still turned red after seeing Mu Chen's smile and looking at her.

"Were you trying to tear our Nine Nether Palace apart over the past few days…?" Tang Bing had directly rolled her eyes towards Mu Chen when she walked in.

Facing Tang Bing, who was extremely serious when handling official matters, Mu Chen could only dryly smile. Although he already had a high position in the Great Havenlaw Domain, he had sincerely treated the two sisters as friends, so he would naturally not be oppressive like how he was with others.

"The Domain Ruler called us to inform you to prepare to head for the Nine Netherbird Clan tomorrow." Tang Bing was direct and efficient when handling official matters and spoke about the serious matter.

When Mu Chen heard her words, he had slightly contracted his eyes then gently nodded his head.

Tang Bing bit on her rosy lips and the aloof look on her face had already gradually disappeared, before she stared at Mu Chen and softly said, "Can Big Sister Nine Nether still come back?"

The Nine Nether Palace was set up by Nine Nether alone and they were guided by Nine Nether as well. Thus, they had treated the Nine Nether Palace as their home. But they knew that if Nine Nether had truly left the Nine Nether Palace, even if Mu Chen could hold up the fort, there would be a feeling missing in this place…

Mu Chen looked at Tang Bing, who had a depressed expression, whereas Tang Rou's eyes had already turned red and she sunk into silence. It must've been a great blow to them after Nine Nether's departure. However, they did not usually reveal their worries, but now that Mu Chen was about to leave as well, they showed their real feelings.

Looking at the two sisters, Mu Chen gently patted them on their shoulders and a gentle smile appeared on his handsome face. "Rest assured, I will bring Nine Nether back."

When Tang Bing and Tang Rou saw the smile on Mu Chen's face, despite the latter having a gentle expression, they could sense the trace of resolution in his words.

Thus, the two sisters had smiled and they heavily nodded their heads.

"Right, bring this with you…"

Tang Bing suddenly removed a light bracelet from her wrist and passed it over to Mu Chen, "There are 1,500,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid here, it's something that I have been doing my best to gather. I hope that it should be some help to you…"

Mu Chen looked at the bracelet and was somewhat startled. He clearly knew how competent Tang Bing was as a housekeeper, and all usage of the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in the Nine Nether Palace was within her calculations, which was precisely why the Nine Nether Palace could gradually expand and operate healthily.

In the past, it would've been extremely tough for Mu Chen to obtain Sovereign Spiritual Liquid from her. So when he saw her giving him such a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, he couldn't help feeling startled.

"If the Nine Nether Palace lost both you and Big Sister Nine Nether, then what's the point of us having all this Sovereign Spiritual Liquid?"

Tang Bing seemed to know what Mu Chen was thinking. She pursed her lips before staring at Mu Chen. "Don't think that I'm unaware of you calling me a miser secretly so many times."

Mu Chen smiled but he did not reject her offer. That's because this sum of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was extremely important to him. When he stored the bracelet, his voice resounded once again, "I will definitely bring her back, I promise!"

"We believe you… and… you… you have to be careful, too." The one that spoke out was the shy Tang Rou as she stared at Mu Chen with her big eyes filled with confidence.

Mu Chen took a deep breath in as he slowly raised his head and looked in the direction that Nine Nether had previously left in before clenching his fist.

Nine Nether, looks like I can't listen to you this time. I will definitely go to the Nine Netherbird Clan!
