Chapter 46

"Black Abyss?"

When Mu Chen heard this name, he was slightly taken aback. He then smacked his lips, realizing it was in such a place.

The Black Abyss, an extremely notorious dangerous area in the Northern Spirit Region, was different from the Northern Spirit Plain. At least the Northern Spirit Plain often had adventure teams visiting, but the Black Abyss was almost considered a forbidden zone in the Northern Spirit Region. In recent years, out of ten people who ventured into it, nine became part of the accumulated stench and muck, and the one who managed to escape would be traumatized, needing a long time to recover. Hearing the name Black Abyss in the future would likely instill deep-seated fear.

"This Black Abyss is not easy to enter." Zhou Ye frowned, clearly very familiar with the Black Abyss. It was filled with swamps and extremely dangerous. A slight misstep could cost one their life.

"If it's for the Netherbird, this risk is indeed worth taking. Moreover... if Liu Region really gets the Netherbird, it will be a big problem for us." Mu Feng mused.

Zhou Ye nodded. The Netherbird was too powerful. If it were in its prime, no one in the Northern Spirit Region would dare to challenge it. But from what they could see now, the Netherbird had likely failed in its evolution, making this its weakest period. Therefore, Liu Region would not miss this opportunity.

"What should we do?"

Mu Feng thought for a moment and said, "First, we'll send some capable hands to monitor Liu Region's movements. This matter should be kept secret; otherwise, many forces would be envious if it got out. So Liu Region won't act openly but will proceed secretly."

"The Black Abyss is often shrouded in deadly miasma, which only weakens during the peak of summer each year. I think it's not far from that time now. If Liu Region is going to make a move, they will choose that time." Zhou Ye said.

Mu Feng nodded and said, "We'll also gather our forces in secret. Once the opportunity arises, we'll act. Even if we can't get the Netherbird, we'll make sure Liu Region leaves empty-handed!"

Given the history between Mu Region and Liu Region, as long as the other side doesn't get what they want, it's a good thing for us.

"Alright, I'll start preparing now." Zhou Ye, known for his decisiveness, immediately agreed and left without any delay.

Mu Feng watched Zhou Ye leave and smiled, then patted Mu Chen's head, "You've brought me a big gift, kid."

"Dad, take me to the Black Abyss." Mu Chen smiled.

"That place is too dangerous, not suitable for you." Mu Feng frowned.

"I did come out of the Spirit Path, right? Dad, the situation there probably isn't much better than the Black Abyss." Mu Chen smiled lightly.

Mu Feng was taken aback, then carefully looked at the young man before him. The handsome face, though still a bit youthful, had a firmness to it. He felt a bit dazed, realizing that the little boy he had raised had grown up a lot.

"Since you want to, you can come along, but remember not to act rashly." Mu Feng smiled, feeling a sense of satisfaction. This son would far surpass him.

Mu Chen nodded and smiled at Mu Feng, "Also, there are some things I need Dad to help me understand."

"What?" Mu Feng asked curiously.

"It's about me." Mu Chen shrugged helplessly, "Since I started practicing the Great Buddha Dharma, I've felt something hidden in my body. Can you explain it to me, Dad?"

Mu Feng was taken aback, then smiled, "There's that?"

Mu Chen just stared at Mu Feng. Knowing the latter, the more he acted calm, the more serious the matter was.

"You can't keep hiding it from me, right?"

Mu Feng looked at Mu Chen's serious and determined eyes, and the smile on his face gradually faded, revealing a bitter smile, "I didn't expect you to notice so soon. I thought it would take at least half a year."

"This isn't something I can explain, because it's something your mother did."

"I expected as much. This kind of technique is beyond your capabilities, Dad." Mu Chen wasn't surprised by the answer, just smiled.

"You brat, you're asking for a beating!" Mu Feng's face turned red, feeling embarrassed by his son's comment.

"What did Mom do to me?" Mu Chen looked down at his body, a bit puzzled.

"Because you are her biological son, with her bloodline, she set a seal in your body at birth. This is why you couldn't detect your spirit veins for all these years." Mu Feng explained.

"My spirit veins were sealed by Mom? Why?" Mu Chen was surprised. He had always thought he didn't have spirit veins, but it turned out they were sealed by his mother.

"Two reasons. Spirit veins can greatly aid your cultivation, but excessive talent can sometimes become a hindrance. To become a true powerhouse, you need a heart that matches your talent. There are too many geniuses in this world, but how many can truly stand out?"

Mu Feng smiled faintly, "You've heard of those who broke through the dimensional barriers from the lower planes to the Great Thousand World. They are the true powerhouses, with unshakable resolve. To become a powerhouse on par with them, you need that kind of heart."

"What's the other reason?" Mu Chen nodded.

"The other... if your mother hadn't sealed your spirit veins, both of us would have had big trouble, and you might not have grown up this far." Mu Feng smiled bitterly.

Mu Chen frowned, "What do you mean?"

"I've told you what you need to know, but some things are not for you to know now." Mu Feng shook his head, looking at Mu Chen, "Just know that your mother did this to protect you."

"Also, don't act rashly. Your mother has already paid a great price for you, so don't unseal the seal in your body until you have enough strength!" Mu Feng's expression became more serious.

"Mom..."

Mu Chen muttered, his hand gently touching his chest. The word brought a warmth from the depths of his heart. The gentle figure in his mind, though he had never met her, the sense of blood connection made him feel incredibly close.

What happened when I was young that caused our family to be separated, and why couldn't I see that gentle figure clearly even as a baby?

"Once you truly become strong, you will know everything." Mu Feng patted Mu Chen's shoulder.

"When can the seal in my body be unsealed?" Mu Chen hesitated, then asked.

"Heh, unsealed? The seal your mother left isn't that easy to break. But she left the key to you. As long as you have the ability, you can gradually unseal it yourself." Mu Feng smiled.

"Key?" Mu Chen's eyes lit up, "Is it the Great Buddha Dharma?"

"Yep." Mu Feng nodded, "Once you reach the Tower Formation stage in the Great Buddha Dharma, you should be able to unseal the seal your mother set."

"Tower Formation..."

Mu Chen's mouth moved. He had already experienced the difficulty of cultivating the Great Buddha Dharma. Reaching the highest stage would take an unknown amount of time.

"Also, you can study spirit arrays during this time. I'll find a spirit array master to teach you." Mu Feng suddenly said.

"Spirit arrays?" Mu Chen was taken aback, then scratched his head, "I haven't learned them, Dad. Do you want me to become a spirit array master?"

"Your mother was very skilled in this area. As her son, you can't be completely clueless, right? Otherwise, she'll say I didn't teach you well. So, work hard." Mu Feng smiled and ruffled Mu Chen's hair, then slowly left the living room, leaving a somewhat depressed Mu Chen. Spirit array masters aren't that easy to become.

Why is my mother so good at everything? How could she have chosen Dad...
