Within the Ancestral Pagoda
There seemed to be countless spaces within the pagoda, and Mu Chen was seated in one of them. He raised his head with his eyes flickering. He could see the flickering ancient lustre within the void and this space seemed to be filled with an ageing aura.
“This Ancestral Pagoda is the strongest trump card of the Ancient Buddha Clan, and it has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. Before every single Grand Elder reaches the end of their lifespan, they would come here and spread their Spiritual Energy out to fuse with the Ancestral Pagoda. That’s how the Ancestral Pagoda has gained such boundless power as time passed.”
Sitting beside Mu Chen, Qing Yanjing’s face was a little stern as she said, “If the Ancestral Pagoda’s full prowess is unleashed, it can even kill Saint Heavenly Sovereigns.”
“Back then, when the Fiend Clans invaded the Great Thousand World, they also launched an assault on our Ancient Buddha Clan, and we made use of the Ancestral Pagoda’s power to kill three Sky Monarchs.”
When Mu Chen heard that, he had fear on his face. Sky Monarchs could be considered Saint Heavenly Sovereigns, and he never expected that they would still be slaughtered by the Ancestral Pagoda. Thus, he could infer how terrifying this Ancestral Pagoda was.
“Actually, putting it in a nutshell, this Ancestral Pagoda can be considered as a Peerless Saint Artifact, and even ranks at the front amongst the Saint Rank Peerless Saint Artifacts.”
Mu Chen nodded his head. He had seen the Eight Ancestral Glass Alms Bowl, a Saint Rank Peerless Saint Artifact refined by the Martial Ancestor, and was only blown away after receiving an attack from Futu Xuan without any signs of shattering. Thus, he could tell how powerful Saint Rank Peerless Saint Artifacts were.
Evidently, this Ancestral Pagoda was even more powerful than the Eight Ancestral Glass Alms Bowl. According to his estimation, this Ancestral Pagoda might be one of the strongest Saint Rank Peerless Saint Artifacts in the Great Thousand World.
“In a moment, I will direct the Ancestral Aura to descend. What you should do is absorb it. Although your Divine Pagoda can be considered the top amongst ordinary Peerless Saint Artifacts, it isn’t even considered a Spirit Rank Peerless Saint Artifact. So I hope that the rank of your Divine Pagoda can be strengthened with this.” Qing Yanjing smiled.
Mu Chen’s heart was tempted upon hearing this, since he knew the effect of his Divine Pagoda. Not only could it seal, but it could also convert his Spiritual Energy into pure crystallised Spiritual Energy, bestowing him with the confidence to challenge an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.
Otherwise, just his Spiritual Energy alone could be suppressed by an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign. So it was good news if he could strengthen his Divine Pagoda again.
“Alright.” Mu Chen nodded his head with expectations.
Qing Yanjing no longer spoke upon seeing this. She, then, formed seals. Instantly, space fluctuated with ancient buzzing noises descending through infinite spaces.
Raising his head, Mu Chen could see descending strands of an ancient aura.
When the ancient aura appeared, Mu Chen could sense the Divine Pagoda within his body violently trembling, as if it had seen a delicacy…
It was so much so that before Mu Chen could even bring it out, his Divine Pagoda had appeared above his head and swiftly expanded to tens of thousands of feet in size within a few breaths.
As the Divine Pagoda radiated, strands of ancient aura descended and was absorbed into the pagoda.
Along with the absorption of the ancient aura, a divine lustre surged on the pagoda and it grew even more abstruse and pure…
At the same time, the massive Divine Pagoda was expelling the impurities while gradually shrinking in size.
As it shrunk down, the divine radiance from the Divine Pagoda was also being purified with an ancient lustre circulating from the body of the pagoda.
When Mu Chen sensed the changes of his Divine Pagoda, he gradually closed his eyes and fell into a deep cultivative state. He could feel a massive amount of Spiritual Energy transferring into his body…
When Qing Yanjing saw this scene, she smiled before she slowly disappeared…
…
Mu Chen had cultivated for an entire month.
After that month, Qing Yanjing appeared in this space again with shock and joy on her face when she saw the scenery before her.
At this moment, Mu Chen was still seated and the massive Divine Pagoda had shrunk down to palm-size, while hovering above Mu Chen, constantly absorbing the ancient aura.
The size wasn’t the only changes to the Divine Pagoda, but even the radiance had traces of dense and ancient aura to it.
At this moment, this Divine Pagoda didn’t seem to be forged from Spiritual Energy, but it had been refined to the limit, like an actual crystal pagoda that hovered with profundities.
Furthermore, there was a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation emanating from it, as if it was a genuine top Peerless Saint Artifact.
According to Qing Yanjing’s estimations, this Divine Pagoda should have reached the quality of a Spirit Rank Peerless Saint Artifact.
However, that clearly wasn’t the limit…
She could feel that the Divine Pagoda was constantly trembling, emanating a greedy sensation as it absorbed the ancient aura, as if it was trying to grow stronger.
However, the strands of ancient aura that descended were no longer robust, so the enhancement had also slowed down.
“Since Chen’er is that capable, then I will naturally aid you as your mother.” Qing Yanjing smiled. She naturally wouldn’t care if it was an ordinary Elder, since the ancient aura in the Ancestral Pagoda was exceptionally precious. So unless it was someone that had made a significant contribution, they couldn't obtain it.
However, Qing Yanjing wasn’t someone that would follow the rules. In her view, ancestral aura might be precious, but it’s useless for it to be here. Thus, she would instead make use of it.
Thus, she tapped her finger and space trembled. The strands of ancient aura instantly grew denser and poured into the Divine Pagoda.
As a massive amount of ancient aura poured down, the entire Divine Pagoda violently trembled and unleashed a radiance as if it could suppress anything in the world.
Qing Yanjing could also see ancient runes appearing on the surface of the pagoda that looked ancient and profound.
When the ancient runes covered the entire pagoda, the crystal pagoda trembled with a radiance that made Qing Yanjing’s eyes squint.
The radiance briefly lasted before it receded.
As the Divine Pagoda hovered above Mu Chen’s head, the radiance slowly retracted and became ancient with runes on it that caused the surrounding space to fluctuate.
At the same time, Mu Chen had also slowly opened his eyes and the Divine Pagoda hovering over his head fell towards his palm.
Holding onto the pagoda, Mu Chen directed his gaze over and sensed the shocking capability of it.
According to his estimations, this Divine Pagoda was probably not at all inferior to the Heavenly Emperor Sword.
Back then, the Heavenly Emperor Sword was one of his trump cards. Although his Divine Pagoda wasn’t comparable to the Heavenly Emperor Sword at its peak, it’s infinitely close.
Most importantly, there was also a massive amount of Spiritual Energy that was being poured from the Divine Pagoda back into his body. Evidently, his strength had progressed once more, reaching the Middle Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign Realm.
“Truly the Divine Pagoda to be able to strengthen to this degree with the ancient aura.” Qing Yanjing sighed.
This Divine Pagoda had already reached the height of an Immortal Rank Peerless Saint Artifact.
An Immortal Rank Peerless Saint Artifact was something rare for even Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns. It was so much so that some Saint Heavenly Sovereigns only possessed Immortal Rank Peerless Saint Artifacts. Thus, the worth could be seen.
With this Peerless Saint Artifact, even a Perfected Earth Sovereign could contend with a Spirit Heavenly Sovereign.
“Thank you, mother.” Mu Chen smiled. He knew that if it wasn’t for his mother controlling the Ancestral Pagoda to provide the valuable ancient aura, it would require a long time for him to reach this height.
Qing Yanjing smiled. “The ancient aura is useless here, and since you’re capable, there’s no harm for you to have it. But this is, after all, something that belongs to the Ancient Buddha Clan. If the Ancient Buddha Clan is in danger in the future, I hope that you can help.”
Qing Yanjing knew that Mu Chen had no good opinion of the Ancient Buddha Clan with a barrier in his heart. It was something that she wasn’t willing to see, so she was trying to dispel the grudges in Mu Chen’s heart.
Mu Chen also knew Qing Yanjing’s thoughts, so he nodded his head after a brief pondering. “As long as mother is fine, there’s nothing that cannot be resolved with me and the Ancient Buddha Clan.
“My cultivation technique comes from mother’s bloodline, and mother is from the Ancient Buddha Clan. If the clan is in trouble in the future, I will naturally do my part to help.”
Nodding her head in gratification, Qing Yanjing caressed Mu Chen’s head with love before she smiled. “Since you’re done, then let us prepare to move out…”
Hearing those words, joy flushed on Mu Chen’s face. “Alright!”
Seeing the joy from Mu Chen’s usually indifferent expression, Qing Yanjing was also infected and smiled with dense yearning in her eyes.
