Chapter 113: Chapter 110: Emperor’s Relics
It was that sa familiar voice—gentle and loving. With a CLANG, the room’s door was thrown open. A slender, beautiful woman in a green dress walked out. Her eyes were filled with sorrow, and from their slight swelling and redness, it was clear she had just been crying.
"Mother!"
If Mu Chen’s heart had rely twitched upon seeing his father, then the sight of his mother was like a dagger plunging into it, causing excruciating pain. ’Is this really my mother from three years ago?’ Her body was clearly thinner, her pale face devoid of any color. Seeing her like this, Mu Chen’s tears stread down his face uncontrollably.
"Chen’Er!"
Bi Wan rushed out the door toward Mu Chen and fiercely pulled him into a hug. Her warm palm caressed his face again and again. As a mother, no matter how much Mu Chen’s appearance had changed, that bond between mother and son allowed Bi Wan to instantly recognize him as her child.
"You’re finally back... Mother missed you so much..."
Watching the family reunion, Mu Bingling stood at the doorway, covering her mouth as tears stread down her face. Mufeng’s spirits had already lifted, and he imdiately noticed Mu Bingling at the door. "Bing’Er, you’re back too," he said, surprised.
Hearing this, Bi Wan gently wiped away her tears and called out, "Bing’Er!"
Mu Bingling couldn’t hold back any longer. In a flash, she threw herself into Bi Wan’s arms, snuggling beside Mu Chen. The three of them wept together again. Even Mufeng, standing to the side, shed tears of joy—to say nothing of the fifteen-year-old Mu Chen. No matter how mature or strong he was, in front of his parents, he was still just a child.
"Ugh..." Mufeng suddenly furrowed his brows, his face contorting in pain. Having absorbed the Extre Ice Attribute, Mu Chen was extrely sensitive to fluctuations in Primordial Qi. He clearly felt the Primordial Power in his father’s body begin to form a vortex as the Primordial Qi in the surrounding space rapidly converged on Mufeng. This was the sign of a breakthrough.
"Dad, sit down, quickly! You might be about to break through!" Mu Chen hurriedly pulled away from Bi Wan’s embrace and shouted to Mufeng.
Mufeng froze, looking at Mu Chen in surprise. He naturally knew what was happening, but the breakthrough had only just begun. Judging by Mu Chen’s reaction, he had sensed it the very instant it started. Mu Chen’s sensitivity to Primordial Qi was simply terrifying.
Feeling the surrounding Primordial Qi gather more and more densely, Mufeng had no ti for further thought. He imdiately sat down and began circulating his Cultivation Technique. He had felt he was on the verge of a breakthrough as early as two years ago. He never expected that because of Chen’Er, his bottleneck would last for two whole years. ’I wonder if I can finally break through this ti.’
As Mufeng’s Cultivation Technique circulated, the Primordial Qi between heaven and earth flowed into his body at an astonishing rate. The most abundant of it was Wind Attribute Primordial Qi. However, Mu Chen had a nagging feeling that this Primordial Qi wouldn’t be enough to satisfy his father’s needs for the breakthrough.
SHING! With the sound of a longsword being unsheathed, Mu Chen’s eyes snapped open. A purple light flashed as his Purple Sky Demon Pupils activated instantly. Aided by the snowflake-shaped mark, Mu Chen could clearly see the flow of Primordial Qi inside his father’s body.
Inside Mufeng’s body, the Dantian Vortex was much larger than expected. However, Luofeng City was located in a remote area. Not only was the Primordial Qi between heaven and earth insufficient, but its purity was also worryingly low. This was why the experts from the central regions of the continent were much stronger than those in the outer regions, and also why the areas closer to the continent’s center were more prosperous.
But what Mu Chen didn’t know was that the mont he opened his eyes, a Barbaric Aura descended from the heavens, filling the entire Bifeng Garden. Bi Wan stared at Mu Chen in terror. The demonic indifference and heartlessness revealed in those eyes, like those of a Demon King, made her heart tremble. She could clearly feel that her Chen’Er seed different now.
Mufeng’s Dantian Vortex was still drawing in the surrounding Primordial Qi. To an outsider, the amount of Primordial Qi he was absorbing already seed imnse, but only Mu Chen could see that his father’s ridians were nowhere near full. In his urgency, Mu Chen imdiately thought of the Demon Cores he had obtained during the new student trial: two hundred sixty Second-level Demon Cores and eleven Third-level Demon Cores. He took them all out, along with the Greedy Wolf King’s Demon Core that Elder Tie Mu had secretly given him.
These rewards were supposed to be split five ways, but Mu Chen couldn’t worry about that now. Seeing Mu Chen take out a mountain of Demon Cores from his Storage Ring, Bi Wan was shocked once again. Mu Bingling, however, remained completely calm, as if everything that was happening was within her expectations.
As for Mufeng, just as expected, the mont Mu Chen took out the Demon Cores, the Pure Elental Power within them surged toward Mufeng’s Dantian at an even more terrifying speed. The space around them constantly fluctuated, and these ripples spread far and wide, encompassing the entire Mu Mansion.
"This is..."
In the main hall, the frowning Mu Gu Tian and the three Elders were all startled. They simultaneously looked toward Bifeng Garden.
"That’s Feng’Er’s residence. Could it be that Feng’Er is breaking through?" Mu Gu Tian exclaid.
A look of delight appeared on Third Elder Mu Yeqiu’s face. "We’ll know if we go take a look," he said. The four of them instantly agreed and, circulating their Primordial Power, flew swiftly toward Bifeng Garden.
Inside Bifeng Garden, Mufeng’s absorption process still wasn’t over. This phenonon both amazed and worried Mu Chen. Only he knew that this was a sign of a continuous breakthrough. However, without the support of imnse Primordial Qi, his father’s life could be at risk. When the external supply of Primordial Qi couldn’t et the Dantian’s absorption demands, the Adhesive Force generated within the Dantian would begin to relentlessly draw in the Martial Artist’s blood, eventually turning them into a dried-up corpse.
Seeing that the two hundred-plus Demon Cores had all vanished, Mu Chen gritted his teeth and took out a purple dicine Bottle from his ring. Inside were ten Martial Spirit Essence Pills, the very ones he had won from Kong Ye Ming. He poured one out and swiftly swallowed it. Of course, Mu Chen wasn’t going to use his own Primordial Power to refine it; instead, he let his White Dragon Cauldron body begin the refining process.
Almost instantly, upon entering the body of the White Dragon Cauldron, the Martial Spirit Essence Pill transford into a ball of pure white light. Mu Chen could feel powerful Primordial Power fluctuations from that ball of light. If he were to absorb such power himself, he would undoubtedly explode and die.
Quickly opening his left hand, Mu Chen controlled a wisp of the White Dragon Cauldron’s pure Primordial Qi to slowly drift toward Mufeng’s body, where it was swiftly devoured by the Dantian Vortex. This continued for an unknown amount of ti, until fine beads of sweat appeared on Mu Chen’s forehead. Although he was only channeling the Primordial Qi from the White Dragon Cauldron, the output required his own Primordial Power to control. The slightest mistake could cause him to accidentally absorb this imnse Primordial Qi, leading to unimaginable consequences.
Fortunately, Mu Chen had a firm temperant and a willpower beyond that of ordinary people, so he managed to persevere. Little by little, he watched as the ball of light inside the White Dragon Cauldron gradually shrank until it disappeared completely. Finally, Mufeng’s Dantian Vortex stopped spinning.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Bingling very naturally handed Mu Chen a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his brow. She could tell that he was very tired.
Bi Wan had so many questions at that mont, but seeing the gentle look in Mu Bingling’s eyes as she gazed at Mu Chen, Bi Wan revealed a aningful smile. ’Looks like it’s ti to tell them everything.’
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Just then, nine muffled thuds echoed from within Mufeng’s body. Imdiately after, a huge wave of Primordial Power erupted from him with a BOOM. Mufeng threw his head back, his mouth opened wide, and a long roar shot into the heavens.
"AAAAAH!"
With a massive RUMBLE, a huge cyclone of energy burst out from Mufeng’s body. Beneath his feet, green Martial Rings rapidly erged. One, two, three... The transformation only gradually stopped after the third Martial Ring beca extrely solid. A Three-Ring Martial Spirit! It was another three-level leap.
However, Mufeng’s three-level leap was understandable. With two years of accumulated Primordial Power, plus one Martial Spirit Essence Pill, he would have reached the Two-Ring Martial Spirit Realm at the very least. He had just been suppressed for too long. As for Mu Chen’s three-level leap, that was truly monstrous!
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Imnse power filled his entire body, and Mufeng suddenly felt incredibly exhilarated. With a single thought, his body actually began to slowly levitate. At first, Mufeng could only manage simple movents like moving horizontally or floating up and down. But as he continued to grasp and master the feeling, he found he could use his Primordial Power to fly and dodge rapidly in the air.
"Haha, I, Mufeng, can finally fly! This feels great!"
Seeing the Primordial Power in his father’s body return to calm, Mu Chen slowly closed his eyes. Instantly, the violent Barbaric Aura vanished, and the black markings around his eyes slowly receded. The look of cold indifference and heartlessness also disappeared without a trace, as if he were a completely different person from a mont ago.
SWOOSH!
Seemingly a bit tired, Mufeng controlled his body and slowly descended. After letting out a deep breath and wiping the sweat from his brow, he said, "Flying in the Martial Spirit Realm really consus a lot of Primordial Power. I’ve only been flying for less than five minutes, and I feel like I’ve already used up about a third of my Primordial Power. Looks like I can’t just ss around with it in the future."
Hearing this, Bi Wan gave Mufeng an annoyed look and said, "How old are you, still acting so playful? Aren’t you afraid of embarrassing yourself in front of the children? If it weren’t for Chen’Er, do you think you could have had such a perfect breakthrough?"
Although she didn’t know what pill Mu Chen had swallowed, she could infer that it was no small matter. That, combined with the nearly three hundred Magic Beast Demon Cores he had produced, told her that this breakthrough would absolutely not have been so smooth without him.
Bi Wan’s words made Mufeng suddenly rember that Mu Chen was right beside him. And although he had been in ditation for his breakthrough, that didn’t an he had lost consciousness. He knew what Mu Chen had done even more clearly than Bi Wan. He imdiately asked, "Chen’Er, what on earth happened to you these past three years?"
Mu Chen smiled faintly and said, "Soone’s coming. I’ll tell you later."
Mufeng was taken aback. He looked toward the entrance, but after waiting for more than ten seconds, no one appeared. Just as he was about to ask Mu Chen, the main gate of Bifeng Garden was thrown open with a loud CLANG...
"Feng’Er, Feng’Er!"
Following the call, Mu Gu Tian burst through the gate. He imdiately saw the group of four: Mufeng, Bi Wan, Mu Bingling, and Mu Chen. When his eyes landed on Mu Chen, his pupils shrank abruptly. "Feng’Er, who is he?" he asked.
Seeing it was Mu Gu Tian, Mufeng smiled and said, "Father, this is Chen’Er. Chen’Er is back."
