The Great Ruler

Chapter 644 - Searching for the Immortal Catalog

The frozen atmosphere enveloped the entire courtyard with the two ladies looking at each other with cold gazes. The commotion spread out as it attracted violent whistling winds, causing the trees and leaves to dance in the courtyard.

Sun’er hid behind a big tree as she sneakily looked at the confrontation between Nine Nether and Ling Xi. She was afraid to be dragged into it.

Looking at this scene, Mu Chen felt a headache, since he didn’t understand why these two girls would fight the moment they see each other, and with heavy gunpowder.

“Anyone can speak good words. If I find out that Mu Chen is injured by the Bloodlink Bond, I will not let you off, even if you are from the Nine Nether Bird Clan.” Ling Xi coldly glanced at Nine Nether as she spoke in an icy voice.

“Your tone of speech is pretty big, I want to see what gives you the qualifications to speak such words!” Nine Nether raised her brows as she sneered.

“Really?” Ling Xi’s face was cold as starlight flickered and gathered on her slender hand.

“Hmph.”

Nine Nether coldly snorted as a cold light flickered in her eyes, and behind her, a large shadow gradually appeared as it covered the earth and sky.

“Stop!”

However, just when the two girls were about to fight, Mu Chen finally couldn’t endure anymore and barked out in anger. He grabbed onto Ling Xi’s hand as rage rose on his face, “Are the two of you done messing around?!”

Ling Xi and Nine Nether looked at Mu Chen. However, the latter did not get interrupted by them as he had genuine anger on his face. Initially, his gentle gaze had turned abnormally strict.

This was the first time that Ling Xi and Nine Nether had seen Mu Chen being enraged. In an instant, the atmosphere weakened as they issued as snort and retracted the Spiritual Energy fluctuations around them.

Mu Chen looked at the two girls that had turned their heads away as he scratched his head. “Big Sister Ling Xi, the Bloodlink Bond between Nine Nether and me was formed under a dangerous situation. So there’s no way to dissolve this Bloodlink Bond, nor will I do it. After all these years, Nine Nether has helped me a lot, and if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have come this far.”

“No matter what dangers the Bloodlink Bond may bring, I will accept it. As long as Nine Nether doesn’t agree, then I will not let anyone dissolve the Bloodlink Bond between us.”

Mu Chen’s voice spread out in the courtyard. Not only was his voice heavy, but there was also an indisputable resolution in it.

The ice on Nine Nether and Ling Xi’s faces had unknowingly melted away. The former shifted her gaze as she looked at the resolute expression on the youth’s face, before swiftly shifting her gaze away. Without her notice, her mood was suddenly lightened a lot.

Ling Xi looked at Mu Chen as she sighed, “Since you have already said so much, then I shouldn’t say anything further…”

As she spoke, she suddenly smiled and looked at Mu Chen with a sly gaze, “But I never expected small Mu Chen to assume such responsibility, how manly.”

Mu Chen clenched his teeth as he said, “How am I small? You are only two or three years older than me!”

Ling Xi smiled without any comment, she then turned her head to Nine Nether as her tone gradually softened, “I am not picking on you, but you should know my worries. If the Nine Nether Bird Clan knows about this matter, I’m afraid that they will not let this matter rest so easily.”

“I have already grown up, not even my father and mother could say anything about my matters. If there are any troubles in the future, I will protect him.” Nine Nether said with indifference.

Mu Chen couldn’t control the twitch on his lips as he interrupted, “I am not interested in depending on a woman.”

However, Nine Nether did not bother about his protest as she left behind a sentence for them to talk, and walked away with her long legs and left, leaving behind a gorgeous silhouette.

“What a prideful lady. Mu Chen, looks like it won’t be easy for you to subdue that prideful little bird.” Ling Xi looked at Nine Nether’s silhouette as she smiled. Shortly after, she lazily stretched her arms as her ample curves became even more distinct under the white dress.

Mu Chen was helpless.

“Stay in my place for the next few days. Don’t lack behind in your cultivation of Spiritual Arrays. Before you leave, I will do my best to impart everything to you.”

“Okay.”

Mu Chen smiled as he nodded his head.

…

During the next few days, Mu Chen quietly stayed in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy with Ling Xi in her courtyard most of the time as he cultivated in the ways of Spiritual Arrays. After he finished cultivating, he would party with those of the Goddess Luo Association. In the past, when he was in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, he spent most of his time cultivating, and now that he is about to leave, he became reluctant to part.

He liked everyone from the Goddess Luo Association, there weren’t any schemes or plots behind their smiles. In this place, they could disregard their identity as they were all members of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy right here.

Perhaps, after entering the Great Thousand World, it would be hard for him to see such smiles anymore. After all, it was no longer a worry-free ivory tower.

When night arrived, Mu Chen would sit on the mountain peak by himself as he looked at the sky full of stars. Some time ago, he would have a girl quietly accompanying him, she would rest her head on his shoulders. Mu Chen liked that clinging feeling he felt back then. He had become her world, supporting her…

Now that she was no longer around, he could only reminisce about it in his heart.

Mu Chen slowly laid on the grass patch as he quietly shut his eyes, and slowly clenched his fist.

Luo Li, wait for me.

…

When Mu Chen quietly stayed in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy for roughly ten days, he had finally waited for the return of the Northern Sea Dragon.

Hearing the news that the Northern Sea Dragon had returned, Mu Chen swiftly rushed to the Main Hall. Upon arrival, he saw the smile hung on the Northern Sea Dragon’s face.

Seeing his smile, Mu Chen instantly felt heavily relieved.

“Among the Five Great Academies, Dean Tiansheng of the Saint Spiritual Academy did not agree, as expected; but the three other Deans agreed to it. So that fellow can’t protest anything.” Northern Sea Dragon looked at Mu Chen as he spoke with an eye-narrowing smile.

At this instant, even with Mu Chen’s firm heart, there was a smear of excitement.

“When do you want to use the Mirror of Judgement?”

“Can we do it now?” Mu Chen hastily enquired.

“Then, let’s do it now.”

The Northern Sea Dragon wasn’t unexpected of Mu Chen’s haste as he nodded with a smile. Shortly after, he waved his hand and space was torn apart as he strode into it.

“Follow me.”

Mu Chen nodded his head as he immediately followed with Nine Nether behind him.

Mu Chen stepped into the spatial crack, and the scenery before him changed in an instant. It seemed to be a small space. It wasn’t big, except that it was all a void. In this small space, there was an ancient bronze mirror that had the size of roughly a few thousand feet quietly floating before him, emitting an indescribable fluctuation as it quietly rippled, causing the space to be constantly shaking.

There was a stone staircase in this space that extended to the Mirror of Judgement. The Northern Sea Dragon led Mu Chen and Nine Nether to it as he passed a bronze seal over to Mu Chen.

“By using this item, you will be able to use the Mirror of Judgement. However, you can’t make any attacks with it as a Divine Artifact of such a level isn’t something that the current you can use. If you recklessly use it, it will devour you instead.”

Mu Chen grabbed the bronze seal as he nodded his head.

“I will leave first.” The Northern Sea Dragon smiled and with a move of his figure, he disappeared; he did not have any intentions of staying here. Although he was curious about Mu Chen’s purpose of using the Mirror of Judgement, he did not inquire, since everyone had their own secrets.

When the Northern Sea Dragon left, this space became quiet. Mu Chen raised his head as he looked at the huge Mirror of Judgement, then injected his Spiritual Energy into the bronze seal in his hand.

A faint lustre shot forth from his hand, into the dusty surface of the Mirror of Judgement.

Buzz! Buzz!

Fine ripples fluctuated from the surface of the mirror, and the Mirror of Judgement gradually became clear. However, the surface of the mirror was extremely abstruse, as if it was a night sky, emitting a mysterious light from it.

At the sight of this, Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as he spread his arms out. Light flickered, followed by the appearance of the Immortal Page.

With a flick of his finger, that Immortal Page flew out and hovered before the Mirror of Judgement.

Buzz! Buzz!

The surface of the mirror rippled as strands of light started to circulate. A ray of light shot forth and enveloped the Immortal Page.

Tsk! Tsk!

As light enveloped, the Mirror of Judgement suddenly violently trembled and on the surface of the mirror, the ripples showed signs of losing control.

Look at this scene, Mu Chen and Nine Nether’s expressions became nervous. The Immortal Catalog was indeed, terrifying. Even one page of it could cause this Mirror of Judgement to go out of control.

Their gazes were firmly fixed on the surface of the Mirror of Judgement, and a few minutes later, it was still pitch-black.

The current situation made Mu Chen’s brows tightly knit together.

“The Immortal Catalog is so terrifying to such an extent that even the Mirror of Judgement could not calculate its trace…” Nine Nether sighed, it was indeed worthy of being one of the Primal Celestial Bodies of legends.

Mu Chen did not speak as he stared without blinking.

Another few minutes passed, and the disappointment in Mu Chen’s eyes gradually grew dense, and Nine Nether patted his shoulders to comfort him.

However, just when Mu Chen and Nine Nether became thoroughly disappointed, an intense ripple came from the silent mirror’s surface as fuzzy images started to appear on the black surface.

Mu Chen and Nine Nether’s expressions shook as ecstasy flowed from their eyes. It has finally calculated it?
