As he opened the scroll, golden light entered Mu Chen’s eyes. The ancient words that were flickering with light seemed alive, and were wondering before his eyes.

Dragon-Phoenix RecordRank 9: Chi Xue of the Serpent God Palace. Having the main body of a Scarlet Blood Serpent with Divine Beasts bloodline. Has a savage nature, bloodthirsty and has once blood-bathed over a hundred cities.”

“…”

Dragon-Phoenix RecordRank 7: Ding Xuan of the Spiritual Giant Clan. Born with great strength and can lift mountains. Has once challenged and undergone a hundred battles, defeating a hundred Sovereigns.”

Dragon-Phoenix RecordRank 5: Hong Yu of the Demon Gate. Dazzling and alluring, known as a famous beauty in the Northern Realm. Countless geniuses have been bewitched by her, even causing a genius that had been nurtured for years by a peak force to betray his own sect.”

“…”

Reading till here, Mu Chen was a little dumbfounded. Just how beautiful was that lady called Hong Yu? To actually even cause people to betray their own sects.

“Formidable.” Mu Chen praised as he clicked his tongue. Although there wasn’t any record of this Hong Yu’s battle achievements, Mu Chen wouldn’t be so stupid to think that she could be ranked 5th all because of her beauty.

“What about Liu Yan of the Sky Profound Palace?”

With a faint tremble in his heart, he continued reading. With Liu Yan’s talent and strength, it’s impossible for him not to be on this record, and as Mu Chen had expected, he found that familiar name in rank 4.

Dragon-Phoenix RecordRank 4: Liu Yan of the Sky Profound Palace. Cultivated the Myriad Flames Celestial Body, peerlessly overbearing with heavenly flames that can burn anything. He even managed to fully retreat unscathed when facing a Fifth Grade Sovereign.”

“Myriad Flames Celestial Body…” Mu Chen slightly narrowed his eyes. Although there was a word difference between the Myriad Flames Celestial Body and Heavenly Flames Celestial Body, it was much more powerful than the latter. Because, in the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies, the Myriad Flames Celestial Body was ranked as the 69th. It was said that to cultivate this Sovereign Celestial Body, one had to collect hundreds of bizarre flames between the heavens and earth to burn one’s Spiritual Energy in order to refine the Myriad Flames Celestial Body. Upon a successful refinement, it would be extremely powerful.

Compared to Liu Ming, Liu Yan was indeed much more powerful. But what made Mu Chen feel astonished was the fact that Liu Yan even fought with a Fifth Grade Sovereign and could fully retreat unscathed.

It looked like the ability to battle opponents that exceeded his realm was not exclusive to him. Other geniuses also had the means to accomplish it.

“Looks like he’s indeed a troublesome fellow.”

Mu Chen muttered to himself. It looked like he had to be even more cautious in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven. With such opponents eyeing him in the dark, he could not afford to be careless.

As this thought flashed in his heart, Mu Chen’s gaze shifted upwards. Right now, he was even more curious about this Dragon-Phoenix Record. Even Liu Yan was only ranked 4th, then what sort of ferocious characters would the Top 3 be?

Golden light surged as the golden characters wondered with Mu Chen’s gaze stopping at the Top 3.

Dragon-Phoenix RecordRank 3: Su Biyue of the Myriad Saint Peak, a pure and holy girl whose beauty is comparable to Hong Yu of the Demon Gate. In the Northern Region, the number of times when she acted could be counted on one’s hand. But every time she acted, she would definitely defeat her opponents within ten moves. She once battled with the Demon Gate’s Hong Yu, which ended with a small win.”

“Defeating her opponents within ten moves?”

Mu Chen’s eyes revealed shock. The gold-bearing of this Dragon-Phoenix Record is a little too high, every single one of them was unreasonably strong. As for this ‘defeating opponents within ten moves’, just thinking about it would strike fear in others.

Dragon-Phoenix RecordRank 2: Netherworld Prince of the Netherworld Palace. The Netherworld Palace adopts a venomous insects refinery method to nurture geniuses, and amongst ten thousand geniuses, only one walked out. He is the Netherworld Prince.”

Staring at the characters that emitted a golden light, Mu Chen, however, felt a faint chill in his heart. There wasn’t any record of this Netherworld Prince’s battle achievements, but just those few words alone were enough to make one shiver.

Nurturing geniuses with the method of venomous insects, this method can only be known as cruel. Moreover, this Netherworld Prince could come out of it, so he must have experienced one hell of a massacre.

A few months ago, Mu Chen remembered that Liu Tiandao seemed to have mentioned something about the Netherworld Palace. It was an old-school peak force in the Northern Region that didn’t seem to have any good relations with their Great Havenlaw Domain.

Staring at the name of the Netherworld Prince, Mu Chen silently listed him on his danger list. Although he had not seen this person before, just the fact that the two forces did not have a good relationship was enough for him to be more cautious.

“Then, what about the first?”

Mu Chen’s heart lightly trembled. Even the Netherworld Prince could only be ranked 2nd, then what kind of divine figure would the first be?

As Mu Chen moved his gaze, a row of ancient wordings silently appeared on top.

Dragon-Phoenix RecordRank 1: Fang Yi of the Divine Pavilion.”

The introduction was only these few words. But just these few words of introduction alone made Mu Chen’s gaze turn solemn. A person with such a simple introduction and yet, could sit firmly on top of the Dragon-Phoenix Record can only be described as frightening.

“The Divine Pavilion can be considered as one with the peak force with the longest foundation in the Northern Region They have experienced five Great Hunts and can still stand firm without falling. This Fang Yi is also an absolute genius, since he was nurtured by the Divine Pavilion at all costs for all these years. They seem to have the intention of making him the next Ruler of the Divine Pavilion.” Mandala’s tender voice slowly resounded.

Mu Chen inwardly clicked his tongue. Being nurtured at all costs by the Divine Pavilion that has such a long foundation, it was no wonder why he was so terrifying.

“This Northern Region is truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.” Mu Chen said from his heart. Indeed, only by entering the Great Thousand World, could one know the vastness of this world. It was also precisely so that made this world interesting. The path of an expert was one that was filled with tribulations to begin with. Only by pressing onwards, step by step, could one possess the ability to overlook others.

“Now you know what sort of powerful characters are participating in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven. Don’t think that you can be proud and arrogant by winning against some puny fellows.” Mandala lectured. Except that the way she spoke, which was filled with age and experience, combined with that tender voice of hers was a little weird.

“How am I proud and arrogant?” Mu Chen rolled his eyes at her. Although he had self-confidence, he wasn’t an impulsive person to stupidly think that he was invincible under the sky.

“Are you afraid?” Mandala lifted her lips as she continued, “Are you still going to participate?”

Staring at the Dragon-Phoenix Record in his hand, Mu Chen lightly smiled as he stored it and answered, “When the Dragon-Phoenix Haven ends, I will definitely have a spot in the Top 10.”

Those geniuses in the record were indeed dragons and phoenixes amongst men. If he were to fight with them, it would definitely be a rare chance for him to grind himself, and he had never been afraid of doing that sort of grinding.

Back then, in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and the rest were also unreachable experts in his eyes. But by the time he left the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, he stood at the pinnacle.

Perhaps he did not have such of a celebrated background like those geniuses, but he never felt that he was weaker than others. That’s because he had his own pursuits. He had promised his father that he would bring his mother back.

Likewise, he had also promised the girl that he yearns for day and night that he would become a supreme expert that would block the storm and rain for her.

Therefore, he would not fear this path and his gaze would forever be looking up ahead from beginning to end.

Looking at the smile on Mu Chen’s face, Mandala’s golden pupils flashed with a smear of astonishment, before she lightly clapped her hands with a smile. “Pretty good, at least you have some bearing. Although it was just a strong front with a weak inside, at least you did not bring disgrace to the title of Primordial Immortal Body’s Successor.”

“Where’s the thing that you will be giving me?” Mu Chen did not pay any attention to her as he directly stretched his hand out, demanding with an eye-narrowing smile. With Mandala’s position, the item that she would be giving him would definitely not be ordinary.

Knowing that all those participants in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven were monsters, Mu Chen was itching to get more means for himself. Because even for someone as self-confident as him, after knowing the top three rankers, he knew that they were all absolutely formidable opponents.

Mandala rolled her eyes at Mu Chen, before turning around and headed towards the depths of the Book Depository Pavilion. Looking at her actions, Mu Chen immediately followed her.

They passed through numerous stone platforms that were emitting a strong light. Although the fluctuations emitting from those scrolls were powerful, Mandala’s steps did not come to a stop. Only after ten minutes, did she start to slow down, before the end of the Book Depository Pavilion appeared before their eyes.

Only then, did Mandala stop her steps.

Mu Chen raised his head and saw an indistinctive stone statue at the end of the Book Depository Pavilion. The stone statue was dull-grey in colour with a seal formed with one hand that supported upwards. In the palm of the stone statue, there was a bizarre flower hovering above it.

The bizarre flower was purple in colour, with bewitching petals. It was as if there was an enchanting light floating on it. At the same time, there was a strange undulation being emitted from it, which made Mu Chen’s attention a little distracted. In that instant, even his mind was about to be sucked in by it.

Rumble!

The Nether Demon Heart Lightning suddenly rang out in Mu Chen’s heart, which made him immediately clear up. He took a step back and stared at the strange purple flower with fear in his eyes, it was actually an item that could cause the mind to be intoxicated.

Mandala made a summoning gesture with her hand and the purple flower floated down, before landing in her hand. She looked at it for a brief moment, before flicking her finger, making the flower fly towards Mu Chen.

Mu Chen carefully received it. As the flower landed in his hand, he realised that there seemed to be some ancient text on the petals of the flower.

“This is an ancient Divine Art known as the Mandala Heavens Annihilation Light. Upon execution, the sky and earth will turn dark and a region will be completely annihilated. It’s a power comparable to a true annihilation.”

Mandala faintly said, “But if you want to cultivate it, then you have to borrow the power of a Primordial Mandala Flower.”

Mu Chen was stunned. The Primordial Mandala Flower was a mystical existence between the heavens and earth, possessing intelligence. Every single one of them was comparable to a powerful expert, how was he going to borrow their power?

Seemingly having seen through the doubts in Mu Chen’s heart, Mandala extended her hand and gently pointed at Mu Chen’s abdomen. It was where the Sovereign Sea was located, and in the Sovereign Sea, there was a hidden black paper…

Mu Chen understood what she meant and immediately went ecstatic. Because there were the divine runes of a Primordial Mandala Flower sealed in the Immortal Page. That meant that this Mandala Heavens Annihilation Light was practically made for him!

Others had no way of training in it, but it was perfect for him!

At this moment, even with Mu Chen’s composure, he couldn’t help laughing out loud. This gift from Mandala was simply too suitable for him!
