Chapter 563: Chapter 562: The Twelve Marrow Cleansing Divine Needles (Part 3)

”Two months have passed, what has happened during this time?” Mu Chen asked.

”Several things. Yundu’s Dongfang Family suffered a large-scale attack by powerhouses attempting to capture Dongfang Ao Xue, but I stopped them. Also, the Sanctioner made a move against Liu Yuxi but was somehow warned off by Lord Nine-tailed Raccoon and didn’t proceed. Lastly, there were unidentified forces and some foreign powers that made attempts, but all were obstructed,” Shennong immediately replied.

”I figured as much for the Dongfang Family, but why did the Sanctioner get involved?” Mu Chen looked towards the Nine-tailed Raccoon and said.

”Kid, I feel like you’re about to be exposed. Many are probing you, and if I hadn’t had the old man intervene, the Sanctioner might have indeed forced me to act, which would have had unimaginable consequences.”

”Probing, exposure, impossible! I’ve concealed myself so deeply, how could I be exposed? Was it because I’ve killed the Demon Lord? Or is it someone else?” As Mu Chen spoke, he grew more and more curious.

”Regarding the mysterious powerhouses and the foreign experts, they’re probably testing you, sensing that you’re either the Evil God or Emperor Yan,” the Nine-tailed Raccoon said earnestly.

”It’s impossible for them to know about Emperor Yan, but being exposed as the Evil God might not be a bad thing, especially with you around — I’m somewhat confident,” Mu Chen said seriously.

”Don’t you go scheming against me, kid. Go and cultivate, or better yet, head above the Sun! Let the power of the Sun God recover to its fullest. That way, you won’t have to fear much,” the Nine-tailed Raccoon hastily said.

”That’s precisely my intention. Strength is everything — I’ll leave as soon as possible,” Mu Chen said with resolve.

Mu Chen’s thoughts were simple: only strength could protect his woman. Now that he had the power to go to the Sun, there was no reason for him not to.

”Hmm, go with a peaceful mind!”

”Nine-tailed Raccoon, through the ’Flame People,’ I’ve learned much. But what I really want to know is, what force do you and the old man belong to?” Mu Chen suddenly asked.

”Kid, I knew you would ask. But I can tell you, we are not of the Divine Race. We are merely humans who wish to protect this sanctuary; that is our duty.”

”I understand. Thank you, Nine-tailed Raccoon.”

”Don’t thank me, kid. Strive to ascend in strength!” said the Nine-tailed Raccoon as he disappeared with a blink of an eye.

”Xue San, in the future, power will dictate the world; there’s no need for you to stay here. Go back to the old man or even to Hell.”

”Yes, boss. I understand. I will leave immediately,” Xue San did not overthink; he followed Mu Chen’s arrangements in all things.

”Before you leave, have an opportunity as a reward for your hard work,” Mu Chen said as the Golden Needle appeared.

”Boss, haven’t you already opened my meridians? Is there any further benefit?” Xue San asked, puzzled.

”The twelfth of the Immortal Spirit Eighteen Needles - the Marrow Cleansing Divine Needle. This needle can grant you a transformative effect, making for a swift and smooth journey on your future path,” Mu Chen said earnestly.

”A transformative effect? Is it really that miraculous?” Xue San questioned.

”Try it and see for yourself.” As Mu Chen spoke, he expended a substantial portion of his energy. With a change of gesture, the Golden Needle directly entered Xue San’s body, and his complexion changed dramatically. Mu Chen’s powerful energy surged in, purging impurities from Xue San’s body. Xue San’s aura and demeanor were transforming.

”Such relief,” Xue San couldn’t help but exclaim.

A few minutes later, Xue San’s body was covered in black impurities and emitted a foul odor.

”How do you feel?” Mu Chen inquired.

”My body is completely open, and I feel an affinity with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Even without cultivating, it feels as though it wants to enter my body. So powerful,” said an elated Xue San, knowing this opportunity was incredibly fortuitous.

”It’s not just that. Next is an even more potent opportunity; seize it well,” Mu Chen said as he called forth a wisp of Black Flame Fire from the Origin. This origin power, also the flame of the Clan Leader of the Flame Family, was unlike ordinary flames. This Black Flame Fire contained profound understanding and could fundamentally transform one’s physique, most importantly, making them stronger.

Only Mu Chen, who received the origin power from the Clan Leader of the Flame Family, was so generous. Origin power is rare, even a wisp represents a year or more of accumulation, and it signifies strength — the stronger the origin, the stronger its wielder. ℴ

”Origin is indeed precious, but not just anyone can use it to grow stronger. Only I can do this. Next, remember to run your cultivation technique madly. Don’t stop; strive to absorb as much as you can. How much you can gain depends on your luck.”

”Boss, I will give it my all,” Xue San said with resolve, desiring strength.

”Good,” murmured Mu Chen as a trace of the Ninja Ancestor’s Green Wood Divine Power emerged, entering Xue San’s meridians through the Golden Needle. Then Mu Chen promptly allowed the Black Flame Fire to enter his body. As soon as it did, the Black Flame Fire fervently surged into him, and as the Black Flame Fire gradually expelled, it transformed into a faint, weak Black Flame Fire that frantically entered Xue San’s body. Screams of agony erupted from Xue San.

Visibly, a deeper layer of black impurity was expelled from his body, and Xue San’s long-standing mythic Peak Realm seemed to sense something, advancing rapidly as though natural as water flowing into a channel, soaring to the beginning stages of Legend, then to the Middle Stage, and finally reaching the pinnacle of Legend Realm before coming to a halt, his meridians brimming with True Yuan. An hour had passed during this process.

Shennong and other powerhouses witnessed this transformation with shock and disbelief at Mu Chen’s miraculous ability.

”Boss, have I truly reached the pinnacle of Legend? How is this possible?” an incredulous Xue San exclaimed.

”Enough, this is what you deserved for serving me. Regarding the others, since I haven’t broken through to the God Realm, I’ll suppress them from gaining strength for now. In the future, you must strive to become stronger, understand?”

”I understand, boss.”

”Alright, off you go!”

”Yes.” And with that, Xue San disappeared in the blink of an eye.

”Shennong, who are these two?” Mu Chen asked, turning to the two men.

”The Supreme Elders from Shennongjia; you can trust these two,” Shennong said with sincerity.

”Greetings to Emperor Yan,” both men said respectfully, their reverence for Divine Power, recognizing as Emperor Yan anyone who possessed it.

”Good, the three of you have done well, all having reached the Divine Realm, two at the Eighth Layer and one at the Ninth Layer. Next, you can also prepare to break through to the Saint Realm,” Mu Chen seriously said as the Black Flame Fire surged once more.
