Chapter 49

In the courtyard, Mu Chen held his breath and stood still. Between his palms, eight spirit seals flickered with a faint light. This was the result of his hard training over the past period. Now, he was able to simultaneously condense and control eight spirit seals.

Not far away, Wen Ling watched him closely. During this time, Mu Chen had been trying to set up a small spirit array, but none of his attempts had been successful. Despite continuous failures, Wen Ling could vaguely sense that Mu Chen was rapidly approaching success through each failure. This young man had the ability to constantly improve through failure.

*Whoosh!*

Mu Chen's eyes were calm. In the next moment, his arms suddenly trembled, and the eight spirit seals in his palms shot out abruptly, then seemed to merge into the air, quickly disappearing.

As the spirit seals vanished into the air, Wen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly. He could vaguely see that the eight spirit seals occupied eight peculiar positions in the air. Beams of light shot out from the spirit seals, intersecting and connecting in a very complex trajectory...

When the last beam of light completed the intricate and obscure interweaving, Wen Ling immediately felt that the flow of spiritual energy in that area had become much faster.

There was a faint glow in the air, which then quietly faded. If one did not pay close attention, it would be hard to notice.

Mu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and a look of surprise and joy appeared in his black eyes. He had succeeded!

*Clap clap.*

Not far away, a satisfied smile appeared on Wen Ling's face. He gently clapped his hands and walked over, saying, "Congratulations on successfully setting up your first spirit array."

Mu Chen also smiled happily. The small spirit array in front of him did not even count as a first-level spirit array, but it was enough to make him excited.

Wen Ling took a step forward, entering the range of the small spirit array. The air suddenly distorted, and a small light array appeared, with over a dozen beams of spiritual light shooting out, binding Wen Ling's limbs and body like ropes.

"Good."

Wen Ling smiled faintly, and with a shake of his body, a surge of spiritual energy erupted, breaking all the bindings. A small spirit array that did not even reach the first level was clearly not enough to bind him when he was prepared.

"This small spirit array is called the Spirit Binding Array. Although it is not a first-level spirit array, it has some uses. If your opponent is not careful, it can at least delay them for a moment, giving you a good opportunity," Wen Ling said.

Mu Chen nodded. He had also recognized the value of the Spirit Binding Array, which was why he had been studying it for the past period.

"Mr. Wen, when can I set up a first-level spirit array?" Mu Chen asked. Although the small spirit array had some uses, it was limited. Only when he could truly set up a first-level spirit array would he be truly powerful.

"A first-level spirit array requires at least fifteen spirit seals. You still have a considerable distance to go," Wen Ling said.

"Fifteen spirit seals..." Mu Chen nodded slightly. Since he had condensed eight spirit seals, he had also begun to feel the increasing difficulty of further condensation. To reach the level of fifteen spirit seals, he still needed to work hard.

"Since you now have the ability to set up a small spirit array, in the coming days, I will have you study more small spirit arrays to lay a solid foundation for the future. Although these small spirit arrays are not too complex, they are the most basic things," Wen Ling said with a rare smile, clearly pleased with Mu Chen's progress.

"Yes."

Mu Chen nodded with a smile. Since he had started studying spirit arrays, he had found himself quite interested in them. Could this be something he inherited from his mother?

Thinking of this, Mu Chen couldn't help but smile. He then became curious. His father had said that his mother had great expertise in spirit arrays, but he didn't know what level of spirit array master she was...

In the following days, while not neglecting his spiritual energy cultivation, Mu Chen also studied other small spirit arrays with great dedication. Through this study, his understanding of spirit arrays deepened, and the number of spirit seals he could condense also increased.

Time passed quickly as Mu Chen devoted himself to his cultivation, until a week later...

On this day, Mu Chen sensed a different atmosphere in the Mu Clan's residence. After a moment's thought, he felt a stirring in his heart and immediately headed to the meeting hall.

Outside the meeting hall, there were guards standing guard, but they did not stop Mu Chen when they saw him, clearly having received orders.

Mu Chen entered the meeting hall directly and saw several figures in the hall. The most noticeable were five figures, sitting in the hall. Although they had different builds, they all looked sharp and agile, and the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from their bodies were quite strong.

"They are the five city lords of the Mu Domain."

Mu Chen was slightly surprised to see the familiar figures. These five were his father's trusted generals, each guarding one of the five cities of the Mu Domain. It was unexpected that they would all gather here today.

When Mu Feng saw Mu Chen enter, he did not say much, just waved his hand, and Mu Chen came to his side.

"Master," the five figures greeted with a bow.

"Uncle Duan, why are you being so formal with me?" Mu Chen said with a smile, his tone very friendly, as he was not unfamiliar with these five.

"Hehe, Master has grown up," the leading lean middle-aged man said with a smile, and the other four also laughed, easing the tense atmosphere.

Mu Feng also smiled, then pressed his hand down, and the hall immediately fell silent.

"I have already given you a general idea of the mission. We have received reports from our scouts that the Liu Domain has already set out for the Black Abyss, so we will also set out immediately."

Mu Feng's serious gaze swept over everyone, and he said, "This is a matter of great importance. I will lead the team personally, along with Zhou Ye. Two of you will stay to guard the Mu Domain, and the other three will accompany us."

Mu Chen listened from the side, his tongue slightly clicking. It seemed that the Mu Domain was going to send out all its elite forces this time. His father must be extremely concerned about the Netherbird.

"The Liu Domain is also taking this action very seriously. According to our information, not only will Liu Qingtian lead personally, but Liu Zong and Liu Ming will also accompany him," Zhou Ye said.

Hearing this, Mu Chen was slightly enlightened. Liu Qingtian and Liu Zong of the Liu Domain were both Soul Crystal Realm experts, and Liu Ming was about to advance. This lineup was already extremely formidable, no wonder his father and Uncle Zhou were leading the mission.

The five city lords also had serious expressions, clearly feeling some pressure from the Liu Domain's lineup. The lean middle-aged man, Duan Wei, pondered for a moment and said, "Then I, Tie Lang, and Chen Xiong will lead the team to accompany the Domain Lord. The other two will stay to guard the Mu Domain. How does that sound?"

"Alright."

Mu Feng nodded and then waved his hand, saying, "Each of you lead a small team, and the strength must not be lower than the late-stage Spirit Movement Realm. They must also be experienced veterans. This mission cannot afford any mistakes."

"Yes!"

The five city lords responded solemnly, then grinned, saying, "It seems we will really clash with the Liu Domain this time. It's been a long time since we had such a good fight."

Mu Feng smiled faintly, a fiery look appearing in his eyes. Others might fear the Liu Domain, but the Mu Domain did not. This time, for the Netherbird, he was ready to have a good fight with them.

Mu Chen, standing to the side, watched the rising fighting spirit in the meeting hall and lightly licked his lips. He felt a growing anticipation for the mysterious Netherbird. The entire Northern Spirit Region had never seen such a high-level spirit beast...

It was unknown who would ultimately obtain this creature.
