Chapter 1045: Qualification

While Bai Ming was trying to calm down outside of the Divine Cemetery, the atmosphere became awkward. Everyone kept looking at Mu Chen, bewildered.

When Bai Ming had tried to make things difficult for Mu Chen, they had thought that Mu Chen would be forced into a corner. After all, given the immensity of the Phoenix Clan’s and Bai Ming’s powers, ordinary beings would be no match for them.

As such, no one had expected that Mu Chen would have been able to get out of this tough situation so easily, and at the same time, push Bai Ming into such a sorry state! Now, Bai Ming dared not offend the few Supreme clans, when they tried to stop him.

If Mu Chen had been pushed into a corner and detonated the silver heart, everyone would have suffered. The entrance to the Divine Cemetery might have been destroyed as well.

Although many of them doubted if Mu Chen would have the guts to detonate the silver heart, they did not want to take the risk. They could only stop Bai Ming from further enraging Mu Chen. Otherwise, no one would reap any benefits from the situation whatsoever. Thus, no matter how unwilling they were to do so, they had to step out and stop Bai Ming, even though it would cause tension between them.

It was awkwardly silent. The beautiful lady from the Nine Hues Peacock Clan lifted her eyes to look at Mu Chen, then said coldly, “Friend, all of us want to get into the Divine Cemetery. Please keep the object that you are holding and stop using it to threaten us. If this place is destroyed, you will provoke everyone here.”

They had not wanted to get involved in the conflict between the Phoenix Clan and Mu Chen and his companions, but they had been forced to do so because of Mu Chen. They were extremely unhappy about it, so they had to knock some sense into Mu Chen to stop him from going overboard.

When Mu Chen heard her words, he simply smiled. He then tossed aside the Heart of the Thunder-Devouring Beast and said, “We are not here to create trouble. However, if anyone thinks that he can walk all over us, I don’t mind letting him know that we have fangs, too.”

“Snobbery!” Bai Bin shouted from behind Bai Ming. He was very angry and looked pale. It was apparent that Mu Chen was referring to them.

Bai Ming had resumed his composure by now, so he did not flare up, but simply looked sharply at Mu Chen, his eyes filled with killing intent.

“I will remember what you have said.” Bai Ming waved his hand to stop Bai Bin, then said flatly, “I hope you will always keep this object.”

When the groups heard what Bai Ming had said, their eyelids twitched. Although he looked calm, everyone could tell that he wanted to kill Mu Chen.

They shook their heads, thinking to themselves…

Although this guy has some means, he is still inexperienced. It is apparent that he has the guts to contend with Bai Ming because of the silver heart.

They had no idea what the object was, but they knew that it was powerful. They also guessed that there was a limit to the number of usages it could have.

They believed this because Mu Chen would not have let Bai Ming off so easily, unless there was some limitation to how often he could use it. He would have thrown it straight at Bai Ming, otherwise!

However, he did not detonate it. So, it was apparent that he had used it only as a threat.

“You don’t have to worry about this,” Mu Chen said with a smile, tucking away the Heart of the Thunder-Devouring Beast. This object was extremely powerful, so it would be a waste to use it on Bai Ming at the moment.

Bai Ming was indeed powerful, even stronger than Golden Sky Prime. Mu Chen knew that, if he were to contend with him, he would have to leave in disappointment, even if used the Heart of the Thunder-Devouring Beast.

In actuality, the reason that he had taken out the Heart of the Thunder-Devouring Beast was merely to frighten those who had sinister motives. After all, if one did not display enough strength, he would encounter a lot of trouble. Hence, Mu Chen figured that he might as well frighten everyone at the beginning to avoid future trouble.

This turned out to be a good move, as not only was Bai Ming wary of him, but even the Supreme clans were afraid of him. This was why they had stepped in to stop Bai Ming and prevented things from getting out of hand.

When the beautiful lady from the Nine Hues Peacock Clan looked at Mu Chen, she was baffled by the absolute lack fear in his eyes.

Does this Grade Six Sovereign human being have other means to contend with Bai Ming, other than the silver heart?

Since she could not figure an answer, she simply shook her head and pushed the question aside. Besides, it really had nothing to do with her. As long as she could get into the Divine Cemetery, she could not be bothered with the strife between Mu Chen and Bai Ming. The two of them had to remain calm now and just focus on not destroying the place!

“Gentlemen, this is the entrance to the Divine Cemetery. There are two regions within it. There are only spiritual beasts in the outer region. If you are confident, you can try going in,” the beautiful lady looked at the groups and said flatly. “However, if you want to enter the inner region, you need to be qualified.”

“Kong Ling Fairy, what are the qualifications?” someone asked.

Mu Chen looked calmly at Kong Ling. He could sense that she was a dangerous person, with strength comparable to Bai Ming’s.

Kong Ling’s eyes glittered and she said calmly, “You need to have a Grade Eight beast spirit’s heart in order to get in.”

Upon hearing this, many of the groups turned pale and there was an uproar. To enter the inner region, they would have to kill a Grade Eight beast spirit in order to obtain its heart!

The Grade Eight beast spirit was comparable to a Grade Eight Sovereign!

Other than the Supreme groups, no one would have the courage to challenge Grade Eight beast spirits. Even if they managed to defeat the beast spirits, they would have to pay a high price for it.

The heart of a Grade Eight beast spirit? Mu Chen frowned when he heard this, then looked at Nine Nether and the rest.

This was not an easy qualification. Although Grade Eight beast spirits had low spiritual intelligences, they had the strengths of Grade Eight Sovereigns.

Any ordinary group would be completely wiped out if they were not careful in challenging them. Currently, there were less than 10 groups that were qualified to challenge the Grade Eight beast spirits.

“I wonder what is in the inner region..” Mu Chen suddenly said, his eyes glittering.

When the rest of the groups heard this, they turned to look at Kong Ling. Although they knew that it was a special place, they had no idea what kind of treasures were in it.

Kong Ling looked at Mu Chen with a faint smile and said, “You will find out for yourself when you qualify to get in.”

She seemed to be mocking Mu Chen, as she obviously did not think that he could make it into the inner region. Mu Chen was not enraged that she had ridiculed him, but simply smiled and said, “Thanks. I shall see you in the inner region.”

Kong Ling was shocked by his confidence. She wondered if he was trying to push himself too far, or if he still had some other hidden means.

“The death-gas is thickest at this moment. As such, waiting until dawn will be the best time to enter the Divine Cemetery,” she said.

“Thank you, Kong Ling Fairy.” The groups were truly grateful to Kong Ling for sharing the information with them. People of her status and strength usually only considered themselves, not bothering about helping others.

When Kong Ling heard their thanks, she simply smiled. As a member of the Nine Hues Peacock Clan, she would not want others to follow blindly behind her and lose their lives.

After they heard what Kong Ling had said, Mu Chen and his companions sat down cross-legged and rested, since they could not enter the Divine Cemetery yet.

As Mu Chen was focusing his mind, he suddenly saw the Spirit of the Real Phoenix on his arm moving. The movement contained the fear of a similar power and, at the same time, it had a sense of closeness.

Mu Chen’s heart jumped. If it had felt close to something, it must be related to the bloodline. There were only two things that would make the Real Phoenix feel close and fearful at the same time…

The Real Male phoenix and the Undying Bird!

There had been no rumor about the death of the Real Male Phoenix, so it must be the latter! Mu Chen lifted up his head and looked at the vast Divine Cemetery. The Primordial Undying Bird had indeed died there!
