The Great Ruler - Chapter 768

Chapter 768

Dragon-Phoenix Ridge was located in the renowned ancient region of the North Territory . It was renowned due to the fact that the Dragon-Phoenix Rift was hidden within it .

According to legend, there was once a dragon and a phoenix that were fighting in the Ridge . A large area of land, including the firmament, had been destroyed due to this fight .

Within the dragon race and phoenix race, the real dragons and real phoenixes were the most powerful . They possessed the formidable rank of Heavenly Sovereign .

During the fierce battle, the two powers had fallen . The place where they had landed, became what is now known as Dragon-Phoenix Rift . It had been rumored that there was a large amount of fresh blood belonging to the real dragon and real phoenix in Dragon-Phoenix Rift . This blood had made Dragon-Phoenix Rift magical, and hence, many treasures could also be found in this place .

If one was able to find the blood of a real dragon or real phoenix and refine it, he would then be able to cultivate the body of a real dragon or real phoenix . Thus, his body would be powerful like the dragon race and phoenix race .

The most crucial point was that, the blood of the real dragon and real phoenix could give strong vitality to men . The divine beast was intimidating, as it had strong vitality . If men had similar vitality, they would benefit greatly in their cultivation .

Other than this factor, it had been rumored that the real dragon and real phoenix had left behind their inheritances in Dragon-Phoenix Rift . One would be able to progress tremendously, if he was able to get his hands on them .

During the past few years, Dragon-Phoenix Rift had been opened a number of times . However, no one had managed to lay their hands on the inheritance of the real dragon and real phoenix . Hence, one could not rule out the possibility that the inheritance was merely a rumor .

However, whenever Dragon-Phoenix Rift was about to open, many younger generations in North Territory would be tempted to enter . Even those top powers outside North Territory were tempted and they would send their men over .

As time passed by, Dragon-Phoenix Rift had become the standard of comparison, when sizing up the younger generations . It was due to this, that the Dragon-Phoenix Record first came about .

In any case, every time Dragon-Phoenix Rift opened up, everyone in the North Territory would be vigilantly watching .

After Mu Chen left the Daluo Territory, he headed straight to Dragon-Phoenix Rift . As the Ridge was far away from the Daluo Territory, Mu Chen had to pass through many strong nations .

So far, he had enjoyed a smooth journey, and as he was traveling at a great speed, within two days, he was approaching the northern part of the North Territory . He could feel the presence of much spiritual energy rushing toward the direction of Dragon-Phoenix Rift .

The masters of the spiritual energy were young and powerful . However, Mu Chen was not very impressed with them . The power of those people whom he had met was about the same level as that of Xu Qing and Zhou Yue .

Mu Chen did not take the initiative to get to know them . Instead, he avoided the crowd and chose to travel in the mountains . Although his speed had slowed down, as the Spiritual Beasts had occupied the mountains, he did not need to bother himself with any disputes . Thus, he could quietly practice his Datura Sky-wrecking Light without any disturbance .

As nightfall hit, in the darkness, Mu Chen could hear the different beasts roaring . The sounds traveled far out to a distance .

A fire was being lit in the jungle, and a long figure was quietly sitting cross-legged on the ground . He shut his eyes, and a purple flower that was exuding purple lights was circling around his palms .

Within the purple lights were ancient writings . They flowed to his palms, then entered into his body, seeming to form a mysterious mark .

The figure was none other than Mu Chen . He had been traveling in the mountains for two days, pondering alone, and had benefited much .

The purple lights encircled him for two hours, before slowly dissipating . Mu Chen opened his eyes to look at the purple flower in his hands, and then kept it .

This is truly mystical . Although I have been pondering on the mandala flower mark on the Immortal Page, I only managed to grasp a bit of light . Mu Chen sighed within himself . The Datura Sky-wrecking Light was indeed a Perfect Divine Art . He was having a hard time with it, though, as it was extremely difficult to cultivate .

Mu Chen let out a breath and suppressed his thought . He decided to work on his cultivation .

"Oh?"

Suddenly, he waved his sleeve and put out the fire before him . Like a civet, he moved robustly past the forest .

After a while, Mu Chen landed quietly on a huge tree, looking out at the land from among the leaves . He was stunned by the scene he saw before him .

There was a clear lake in the forest, and the moon was hanging up high . As the moonlight shone on the lake, lights sparkled on the surface . However, Mu Chen was not captivated by the lake .

A fair lady was bathing gracefully in the lake . Her black hair spread out like a waterfall in the water . Mu Chen could only see half of her face, due to the angle that he was at . However, her beauty, even on only one side, was breathtaking enough .

She had arched eyebrows, a pointed nose, rosy lips, long eyelashes, and big, clear eyes, like obsidians . There seemed to be a layer of light on her fair skin .  

Mu Chen could not help but gaze down her body . Her neck was long and graceful, like a swan . Her collar bone was slim and sexy . The rest of her body was hidden in the water . However, Mu Chen could vaguely see her cleavage .

Her beauty was among the top three beauties that Mu Chen had ever seen . Even the most stunning beauty in the North Territory, Demon's Gate Snapper, was not as beautiful as her .

Splash!

As Mu Chen was staring at the girl, the water behind her suddenly surged . A colorful python came out of the water and dashed toward the girl .

When Mu Chen saw it, he turned pale . Just as he was about to rush out to save her, he suddenly stopped .

The girl laughed, and her laughter was clear, like pearls bouncing off a marble floor . When she waved her little hand, the colorful python immediately shrank, becoming the size of a palm . It then laid on her shoulder . This colorful snake had been bred by her .

Mu Chen heaved a sigh of relief . As he turned away, and was about to leave, the girl suddenly looked in his direction .

Oops! I have been discovered .

Mu Chen was shocked to see him, and quickly retreated . Although the girl was pretty and attractive, he knew that she was not simple, and he did not want to meddle with her .

Swoosh!

In the twinkle of an eye, Mu Chen shot up about 1,000 feet in the air . However, he suddenly froze, falling on a big tree . A figure in black was sitting on a branch, looking at him with a smile .

It was a youth . He was good looking . Although he was smiling warmly, when Mu Chen saw him, his body started to tense up . He could sense danger .

"Friend, if you run away, I will be punished . " The youth in black scratched his head and smiled at Mu Chen helplessly . He then stepped forth .

Mu Chen squinted his eyes, then started to retreat .

Swoosh!

As he was about to retreat, the youth was already standing before him . He placed his palm gently on Mu Chen's shoulder, and Mu Chen's spiritual energy stopped flowing .

Mu Chen was stunned . The youth was extremely powerful, and he was not as young as he looked .

He grabbed hold of Mu Chen's shoulder, and in one move, both of them appeared beside the lake .  He then let go of Mu Chen .

Mu Chen carefully took a few steps back . As he was about to speak, he saw the girl from inside the lake walking on the water, coming toward him . She was dressed in light colored clothing, and she stopped to stand before Mu Chen .

Mu Chen could see the girl clearly now . She was young and charming . Her youth and charisma made her seductively charming .

As the girl was moving forward, the youth in black smiled fawningly at her, and ran toward her . He put on a long face and said, "Sis, I was about to drive away the Spiritual Beasts that were nearby, when this chap came and foiled my plans . You cannot blame me for not doing a good job!"

Mu Chen dropped his jaw . The girl was so young, yet she had a younger brother who was so powerful . The spiritual wave in her body was not as powerful as her brother's .

She looked coldly at the youth in black with her seductive eyes, and then turned to look at Mu Chen . The colorful snake on her shoulder had crept out, and was now hissing at Mu Chen .

"Erm…"

Mu Chen gave out a dry cough, and as he was about to speak, the girl extended her hand and spoke in a clear voice that petrified Mu Chen .  

"I can smell the Ancient Flaming Dragon blood in you . Compensate me with five drops of it . "
