The Heavenly Emperor simply smiled when Mu Chen performed the bow of a disciple. If the Ancient Celestial Palace had not been destroyed, many outstanding top powers would have yearned to have this rare opportunity. As such, Mu Chen was indeed fortunate.

“Follow me.” The Heavenly Emperor waved his sleeve and space warps started to form around them.

When Mu Chen and his company came back to consciousness, they were above a majestic river. The water in the river rolled up and roared. At the same time, Spiritual Clouds rose up and formed the shapes of dragons, phoenixes, tigers and leopards.

This was the Heavenly River that Mu Chen and his company had visited previously. However, when they left, the Heavenly River had been sealed. The Heavenly Emperor had thus opened it again effortlessly.

The spiritual energy in this place was abundant, which made it a good place for cultivation. In fact, one would achieve twice the effects if he cultivated here.

“You can use this place for your cultivation during this period.” The Heavenly Emperor said to Nine Nether.

Nine Nether was at Complete Grade Nine, as well being one step away from the Earthly Sovereign level. However, the Heavenly Emperor could only pass the Real Spirit to one person. As such, could only let her use this place to hasten her progress.

“Thank you.” Nine Nether was elated when she heard his offer. She knew that she would benefit greatly by cultivating in such a rich place.

“As for you, Mandela, you are already at the Complete Earthly Sovereign level. This place will not be of much help to you. If you get bored, you can take a look at the scriptures in the Pavilion,” the Heavenly Emperor said, while he smiled at Mandela.

However, Mandela shook her head. The Heavenly Emperor was now a Spiritual Clone, and if he dissipated, he would be gone from this world. Hence, she only wished to keep him company during this period of time.

“You are so silly.” The Heavenly Emperor sighed as he looked at Mandela.

He had brought up Mandela since she was a child, so he looked upon her as his own daughter. After the Heavenly Emperor comforted Mandela, he turned to Mu Chen with a serious look and said, “Let’s get ready.”

After all, he knew that his Spiritual Clone could not stay for too long, so every minute was precious. Mu Chen nodded, and the Heavenly Emperor flicked his fingers, causing the water in the Heavenly River to roll up and form a water lily on the surface. Mu Chen then sat cross-legged on it.

The Heavenly Emperor stood before Mu Chen and looked grim. He curled up two of his fingers and suddenly tapped outward. Spiritual light glittered on his fingers, filling them with sagacity.

Swish!

His fingers pierced through the space and tapped on Mu Chen’s glabella.

Buzz.

The spiritual light spread out from Mu Chen’s glabella and covered his body. The crystal clear light seemed to have pierced through his forehead, completely penetrating his entire head.

His body shook vigorously, as he felt a large amount of information entering his mind. In fact, his mind nearly exploded due to the vast influx of information!

However, he persevered and bore it all. Then, veins started to creep around his face, like earthworms, causing his good looks to become gruesome.

While Mu Chen was in great pain, the spiritual light suddenly gathered in his head, forming an ancient text.

“Qi into Trinity!” he gasped.

The spiritual light gathered and dispersed, followed by some mysterious mantras. These mantras possessed vast amounts of the Heavenly Emperor’s experiences, as well as most of the understanding that he had obtained during his cultivation journey.

Mu Chen totally immersed himself in the mysterious mantras and knowledge. This was his first encounter with such a mysterious Super Power.

Such a Rare Super Power had stringent requirements on one’s talent. Fortunately, Mu Chen was outstanding. With the Real Spirit from the Heavenly Emperor and his understanding, he would be able to figure out the profoundness of the cultivation method. Without them, he would have felt powerless and frustrated.

With the help of the Heavenly Emperor’s understanding, Mu Chen obtained very good guidance. Thus, he found enlightenment, even in the difficult areas.

Mu Chen considered himself very lucky to have received the Real Spirit Empowerment from the Heavenly Emperor. If he hadn’t, even if he had obtained the cultivation method of the Qi into Trinity, he would still have needed a number of years to cultivate his Spiritual Clouds.

He immersed himself in studying the mystery of the Qi into Trinity and completely forgot about the time…

“Given your current strength, you can only understand the mystery of the Qi into Trinity. You will not be able to cultivate it, so you need not waste too much time on it now. Leave that until after you have a breakthrough.” As Mu Chen was deeply into his studying, a loud voice suddenly resounded in his head. He immediately opened his eyes.

When Mu Chen opened his eyes, his mind instantly became clear. He was dumbstruck, as he felt the immense information whirling around in his head. The Rare Super Power was indeed unique, as a simple understanding of it was enough to cause him to lose control of himself! If the Heavenly Emperor had not reminded him, he would have continued to immerse himself in it!

“Get ready.” The Heavenly Emperor warned him, then slowly lifted up the Celestial Emperor Sword. He treasured the Sword, as it had always been with him.

“Old friend, I hope you will help me with the last part of my journey,” The Heavenly Emperor said to his sword softly.

Buzz. The Celestial Emperor Sword gave out a clear resonant buzzing sound as if to respond to him. Then, sword rays surged on its blade, but they were gentle, without any murderous aura attached to them.

The Heavenly Emperor smiled and lifted up his hand. The Celestial Emperor Sword then shot up to the sky and turned into a large light beam, which covered the area and exuded a horrifying power. As the Heavenly Emperor guided the light beam with his finger, light flooded down continuously and covered Mu Chen up.

Bang! Bang!

The continuous flow of light consisted of majestic power, which seeped into every part of Mu Chen’s body. The vast power was overbearing to Mu Chen, and the surface of his body burst out into a blood mist, making his entire appearance look bloody.

Fortunately, Mu Chen recovered very quickly, as golden light surged on his body and the spirit of the real dragon and phoenix moved around continuously to help him heal quickly. When the Heavenly Emperor saw this, he was shocked. He had thought of helping Mu Chen, but then he saw that he was able to do it on his own, even under such harsh conditions!

Thus, the Heavenly Emperor decided not to help Mu Chen and allowed him to go through it. After all, it was good training for Mu Chen.

As the Heavenly Emperor had given Mu Chen the greatest opportunity, it was now up to Mu Chen to prove himself capable. If the Heavenly Emperor had to pave the way for Mu Chen, he would rather not have such a mediocre successor!

The sword rays continued to flood down on Mu Chen, and he became so bloody and unrecognizable, he looked scary! However, as Mu Chen continued to recover, he started to feel bits of strange power seeping into his flesh.

The power was mystical. Although it was just a little bit of it, he could feel his flesh, bones, and meridians strengthening. Mu Chen knew that the power must have come from the Celestial Emperor Sword.

This was the same sword that the Heavenly Emperor had used to help Mu Chen reconstruct his physique and make it stronger, so that he could have a breakthrough. As Mu Chen’s body became tougher under the sword rays, he noticed that the sword rays had penetrated into his Sovereign Sea.

Mu Chen was shocked. If the sword rays had been any sharper, they could have destroyed his Sovereign Sea! Fortunately, the Heavenly Emperor was there to provide guidance, so the majestic sword rays were extremely gentle as they penetrated into the Sovereign Sea.

The light rays then swallowed up the sea’s spiritual energy like flood dragons. When they spat out the spiritual energy again, it became rich and condensed.

Under the nourishment of the Celestial Emperor Sword, Mu Chen felt a great improvement in his spiritual energy. Even if he had used up to a hundred million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, he would not be able to reach this level of increase! However, the Celestial Emperor Sword had helped him achieve it in split seconds.

As Mu Chen perceived the sudden increase in his spiritual energy, he tried hard to calm himself down. With this advancement, he could feel that he was about to step into the Earthly Sovereign level…

However, it was not so easy for Mu Chen to breakthrough to the Earthly Sovereign level. In fact, half a month passed by, while they stayed at the Heavenly River…
