Chapter 645 - Ancient Haven Palace
Ripples appeared on the surface of the ancient bronze mirror, the initially deep blackness was quickly replaced by fuzzy images.
Mu Chen and Nine Nether directed their gazes over.
What appeared on the large bronze mirror seemed to be a continent that stretched without end. The angle seemed to be looking from high above as it was continually rising…
Mu Chen was blankly at a loss when he looked at that unfamiliar continent. He had no idea where it was.
Nine Nether, who stood beside him, was taking a serious look at the mountains and terrains. She slightly furrowed her brows, as if she was pondering something.
Scenes still regularly appeared as they formed into a map of a continent in the end. The size of this continent was beyond words. It was shocking down to the heart.
Mu Chen could only bitterly smile as he looked at the unfamiliar map. The Great Thousand World was too vast with many continents in it, it wasn’t an easy task to be differentiated with just a map.
Furthermore, the Mirror of Judgement did not tell them the exact location of the Immortal Catalog, was it trying to get them to search around in the vast continent without any clues?
The probability was very terrifying.
Just when Mu Chen bitterly smiled, light gathered on the surface of the mirror and vaguely, it turned into an ancient palace. On top of the palace, the sun and moon were hovering as light shone onto the vast continent.
Nine Nether was looking at the ancient palace, as well as the sun and moon hovering on top of it. Her figure faintly trembled as dense shock rose in her pupils.
The scene did not last for long as it gradually faded. In the end, the surface of the Mirror of Judgement returned to darkness. Even the ray of light that was enveloping the Immortal Page faded.
Mu Chen extended his hand as he retrieved the Immortal Page and stored it in his body.
“There’s no clue at all.” Mu Chen sighed as he spoke. Whether it was the unknown continent or the ancient palace, he had no clues.
“That might not be the case.” Nine Nether, who was looking at the Mirror of Judgement, suddenly smiled.
Hearing her words, Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, before looking at Nine Nether. Dense joy rose from his heart. Judging from Nine Nether’s words, did she realise something?
“If I have not guessed incorrectly, the continent that was shown on the Mirror of Judgement should be one of the ten major continents in the Great Thousand World, the Skylaw Continent.” Nine Nether chuckled.
“One of the ten major continents… Skylaw Continent?” Mu Chen muttered.
“Right now, in the Great Thousand World, the ten major continents are the most well-known, they can be considered the core regions of the Great Thousand World. They’re flourishing and have as many experts as the stars in the sky.”
“Comparing the Northern Heavens Continent of your Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy to the Skylaw Continent, it’s not even a firefly in comparison. In the Skylaw Continent, any single one of the peak forces isn’t in any way inferior to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.”
Hearing her words, Mu Chen smacked his lips. Although he knew that the Northern Heavens Continent wasn’t much in the Great Thousand World, he never thought that it would be to such a degree. After all, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy could be considered as in control of the entire Northern Heavens Continent. However, when it was placed in comparison with the major continents, it was much more inferior.
“You seem to be very clear about the Skylaw Continent.” Mu Chen was astonished as he looked at Nine Nether. He realised that Nine Nether seemed to be somewhat familiar with the Skylaw Continent.
“Do you know where I come from before I failed my tribulations?” Nine Nether spoke with an eye-narrowing smile.
Mu Chen was stunned as he answered, “It can’t be the Skylaw Continent, right?”
“Correct.” Nine Nether nodded her head thoughtfully.
“Then, the Nine Nether Bird Clan is also in the Skylaw Continent?” Mu Chen asked in astonishment.
“The Nine Nether Bird Clan isn’t on the Skylaw Continent. However, back then, when I came out to experience the world, I went to the Skylaw Continent. Moreover, I still have a territory at that place.” Nine Nether’s rosy lips rose as she said, showing off.
“You even established a force?” Now, Mu Chen was thoroughly dumbstruck.
“I did not establish a force, I was only recommended by a senior and joined one of the peak forces. After all, it’s impossible to go out without any background, especially in the Skylaw Continent that has hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
“Oh? There’s a force that could hold you?” Mu Chen smiled.
“Before I underwent my evolution, my strength wasn’t even in the Sovereign Realm. With that pitiful strength of mine, it wasn’t even anything in the Skylaw Continent. The force that I was a part of was called the Great Havenlaw Domain. Don’t belittle it, it was one of the peak forces in the Skylaw Continent. The strength of the entire force was only stronger compared to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, and not weaker. Furthermore, my status in the Great Havenlaw Domain was pretty high.” Nine Nether chuckled.
“Your strength was not even at the Sovereign Realm back then, and you became one of the higher ranks?” Mu Chen spoke with doubt.
“Haha, who asked me to have a powerful background?” The curve on Nine Nether’s lips rose even more distinct.
Mu Chen was helpless, So it turns out that she took a backdoor to be in the so-called ‘higher ranks’. He shook his head as he looked at the Mirror of Judgement and said, “If the Skylaw Continent was shown in the Mirror of Judgement earlier, then what does that palace with the sun and moon behind it mean?”
Nine Nether’s brows slightly raised as she pondered for a long time, before saying in a slow tone, “I have once heard in the Skylaw Continent that there was an Ancient Haven Palace hidden in the continent. The lord of this Ancient Haven Palace was a supremacy existence that could tremble the earth and sky back then, even Heavenly Sovereigns could not compete with him so easily.”
Mu Chen’s gaze slightly changed. An existence that not even Heavenly Sovereigns could compete against? Just how terrifying is that?
“Legend has it that in the Ancient Haven Palace, there is a treasure that even Earth Sovereigns and Heavenly Sovereigns would be tempted to have. However, no one has seen the Ancient Haven Palace all these years; thus, it became a legend.”
Nine Nether’s gaze was revolving with thoughts as she continued, “If the Immortal Catalog is in the Ancient Haven Palace, then I believe that this supreme expert was one of the ten experts that possessed the Primal Celestial Body in ancient times. So much so that he might be the first possessor of the Primordial Immortal Body.”
Mu Chen’s gaze was heavy, since Nine Nether’s analysis made sense. Maybe the Immortal Catalog was related to this Ancient Haven Palace. But shortly after, he felt a headache. Not to mention if this Ancient Haven Palace existed, even if it really showed itself, it would definitely cause a huge commotion. It was no different from snatching food from a tiger if he wanted to seize the Immortal Catalog under the eyes of so many experts; being very treacherous.
But, regardless of anything, now that he had obtained some clue of it, he would definitely not give up so quickly.
“Looks like it will be our next objective.” Mu Chen spoke in a soft voice.
“To go to the Skylaw Continent? It is indeed a decent place to train.” Nine Nether smiled.
“Right now, my objective is to get stronger so that I can protect those I want to protect. Furthermore, this Skylaw Continent is one of the major continents; thus, I believe that it will definitely be more interesting and dangerous compared to the Northern Heavens Continent.” Mu Chen spoke with a faint smile.
The Skylaw Continent was apparently a decent place. He could train himself and, at the same time, seek more information regarding the Ancient Haven Palace. This way, he would be able to make his move first, if opportunity allowed.
Clearly, he still had to get stronger before then. Otherwise, even if the Ancient Haven Palace did appear, without any strength, he wouldn’t have any qualifications to seize it.
“I never thought that we would be returning to the Skylaw Continent, how reminiscing.” Nine Nether sighed. Back then, when she left the Nine Nether Bird Clan for the Skylaw Continent, she fell into the small Northern Spiritual Realm because she was undergoing her tribulations, and with accidents arising from many causes, she formed the Bloodlink Bond with Mu Chen.
Furthermore, the most coincidental point was that right now, Mu Chen was also heading for that continent. Fate was truly unfathomable.
“Let’s go, when we go to the Skylaw Continent, I can rely on you.” Mu Chen smiled.
“As long as you say my name, I guarantee that you will be able to run amok anywhere you want in the Skylaw Continent.” Nine Nether spoke with her eyes narrowed from smiling.
Mu Chen rolled his eyes and disregarded her. The mighty Great Havenlaw Domain that was mentioned by Nine Nether was only one of the peak forces. Even if Nine Nether was one of the higher ranks, it was still impossible to run amok in the Skylaw Continent.
Mu Chen turned around as he descended the stone stairs, towards the spatial crack. Although he wasn’t able to obtain any accurate news, his harvest was already satisfying. At the very least, he had a rough location and didn’t have to blindly roam around.
When the two of them walked out of the spatial crack, the spatial ripples had directly appeared in the Main Hall of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Before them, the Northern Sea Dragon was looking at them, smiling.
“You’re done?”
Mu Chen nodded his head as he returned the bronze seal back to the Northern Sea Dragon as he spoke with sincereness. “Thank you, Senior Northern Sea for your help.”
The Northern Sea Dragon waved his sleeves, and the spatial crack gradually disappeared. Looking at the youth before him, his gaze turned gentle, “You will be leaving very soon?”
“Three days from now.” Mu Chen sucked in a mouthful of air as he spoke, suppressing the reluctance in his heart.
The Northern Sea Dragon nodded his head as a smile appeared on his aged face, “I am looking forward to hearing your news again. I believe that at that time, you will leave us all in shock.”
“You are the pride of our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, I hope that our prided son will not be buried by the innumerable geniuses of the Great Thousand World.”
“I will do my best.”
Mu Chen smiled as he turned his head, looking at the lively and familiar academy that was shone by the setting sun. Countless figures were streaking across the horizon as they head to the four locations of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
Goddess Luo Association… Lightning Territory… Spirit Convergence Array… Spiritual Points Hall…
Those familiar locations were gradually dimmed by the golden light and slowly disappeared from his sight.
Mu Chen spread his arms out as a smile hung on the corner of his lips. He was reluctant to part with this place, but he was also looking forward to his future path. This was not his destination, it was merely his starting point.
Goodbye, Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
