Night fell in the temple hall.
At this moment, Shen Hongye had already prepared a large table full of food and wine.
Nothing that can be served here is an ordinary ingredient; all kinds of rare animal meats, delicacies from heaven and earth, and fine wines are available.
Chen Mu and Mingye sat at the banquet table, while Shen Hongye stood next to the main seat, looking every bit like a maid.
Seeing Shen Hongye like this, Chen Mu couldn't help but admire her. He wondered what kind of charm the Manju Sacred King possessed that could make a Saint Level expert so loyal.
Whoosh!
A streak of light flashed through the air, and the Manju Sacred King appeared at the head of the banquet table.
"Sorry to keep everyone waiting."
At this moment, the Manju Sacred King was dignified and gentle, quite different from the one Chen Mu had seen in Iron Soul City.
Hongye, sit down and eat with us!
The temple hasn't been this lively in a long time.
The Manju Sacred King beckoned for Shen Hongye to sit down, but Shen Hongye refused.
"It's alright, Your Majesty, I'll remain standing."
Seeing her insistence, the Manju Sacred King did not try to dissuade her and nodded.
"Oh well!
"Ye'er, Chen Mu, let's eat first! We can talk about it after we've eaten."
"Good!"
The three of them then began to eat heartily. The food was carefully prepared, both delicious and nutritious, and Chen Mu and Mingye thoroughly enjoyed their meal.
About half an hour later, the three of them had basically finished eating, Manju Sacred King picked up his wine cup and began to chat.
" Chen Mu, Ye'er told me that you want to establish a Rune Puppet Legion."
The silver magical artifact you used last time was quite good. Why didn't you consider making more? If you could make more, you should achieve better results than the Rune Puppet Legion.
During this time, Mingye told the Manju Sacred King about some of the things that had happened to him on the Pan Emperor Continent, so the Manju Sacred King also had a rough understanding of Chen Mu and knew that he was a genius talisman master.
"Your Majesty flatters me. My skills are so meager; how could I dare to presume to teach you?"
Chen Mu recalled how the Manju Sacred King had easily deciphered the nuclear reaction within the Devil Spirit Bullet with a mere touch, and he felt genuine admiration for her.
"My silver magical artifact is called the Ultimate Devil Spirit Bullet. Although its power is terrifying, it does not distinguish between friend and foe on the battlefield and is extremely difficult to control."
If it were used on a large scale, it would surely cause widespread suffering and be contrary to the natural order. I am unwilling to use it unless absolutely necessary.
On the other hand, creating the Ultimate Devil Spirit Bullet is not easy, even more troublesome than building Rune Puppet Legion, so I think building Rune Puppet Legion is more appropriate.
Seeing that Chen Mu's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, the Manju Sacred King smiled and nodded, seemingly satisfied with his answer.
"Alright! Then I'll approve your plan to establish the Rune Puppet Legion."
Furthermore, I will bestow upon you the military rank of Might-Distant General, which will facilitate your actions within the Imperial Court in the future.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
Mingye smiled broadly, clearly pleased.
Shen Hongye, who was pouring wine, looked like she wanted to say something but ultimately didn't.
" Ye'er, your mother knows that many people in the court have been criticizing you recently, so you always want to go to the front lines to make contributions and clear your name."
"If that's the case, then I will give you another great gift, so that you will have more strength to protect yourselves on the battlefield."
The Manju Sacred King smiled and gently patted Mingye's head, his face full of affection.
"Thank you, Mother Queen."
Seeing Mingye's overjoyed expression, Chen Mu almost didn't recognize her.
" Ye'er, summon your Netherworld Pearl and lend it to me."
"Um."
As instructed, Mingye summoned the Netherworld Pearl from within her body and placed it in the hands of the Manju Sacred King.
"You two relax. In a moment, I will use the power of this Netherworld Pearl to help you break the Heavenly Dao Restraint Seal within your bodies."
You may feel a little uncomfortable during this process, but these are normal reactions, so please do not resist.
After the Manju Sacred King finished speaking, the Netherworld Pearl slowly flew up and stopped above the heads of Mingye and Chen Mu.
Upon hearing that the Heaven and Earth Seal within his body could be broken, Mingye was overjoyed and immediately opened his mind to accept the power of the Netherworld Pearl.
Chen Mu was puzzled, not understanding why the Netherworld Pearl possessed such miraculous abilities, even capable of breaking the Heavenly Dao Seal.
But with the power of the Manju Sacred King, he wouldn't have needed to use such a method if he wanted to harm himself. In the end, like Mingye, he opened his mind and body to accept the power of the Netherworld Pearl.
Buzz!
The Manju Sacred King's hand seals shifted, and a vast power flowed from his body, pouring into the Netherworld Pearl. The Netherworld Pearl's light grew brighter and brighter, and finally, an invisible force surged out and entered the bodies of Mingye and Chen Mu.
Snap! Snap!
Since entering the Nine Nether Netherworld, an invisible barrier has appeared in Chen Mu's dantian. This barrier can isolate all the power of cultivators, and he has tried every means to break through it.
However, at this moment, the barrier developed cracks under the influence of the Netherworld Pearl's power and gradually crumbled.
As the barrier shattered, the immense power within Chen Mu's dantian exploded forth, causing a tremendous impact on both Chen Mu and Mingye's physical bodies.
Chen Mu experienced the most pain during this process because he came from the Pan Emperor Continent and had previously cultivated the Yang attribute Spiritual Power of the Pan Emperor Continent.
The Death Spiritual Power of the Netherworld belongs to the Yin-Attribute Spiritual Power. These two attributes of Spiritual Power have the characteristics of mutual generation and mutual restraint. If an ordinary person cultivates these two powers at the same time, it is easy to go astray and become possessed by evil spirits.
However, this problem had already been successfully solved by Mingye. In fact, Mingye even comprehended the Yin-Yang Profound Mystery of Chaos through the characteristics of the two Spiritual Power, laying the foundation for stepping into the Saint Level.
Chen Mu and Mingye spent every day together. Although he had not yet mastered the Yin-Yang Profound Mystery of Chaos, he was already close to mastering them thanks to his powerful Rune Core calculation ability. At this moment, he could easily fuse the Spiritual Power of the Yin and Yang attributes.
However, his situation is quite different from Mingye's. The Spiritual Power in his body has actually evolved into Dharma Power, so what he needs to fuse now is not yin-yang attribute Spiritual Power, but yin-yang attribute Dharma Power.
Dharma Power is evolved from the fusion of Spiritual Power and Soul Power. It is a higher-level energy than Spiritual Power, so the impact of its fusion on people is more intense, and he suffered tremendous pain.
However, he was determined and, despite the cold sweat pouring down his forehead, he managed to complete the fusion of Dharma Power.
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Netherworld Pearl fell from the sky and returned to the hands of the Manju Sacred King.
Seeing that Chen Mu and Mingye were still adjusting to the power within their bodies, the Manju Sacred King did not urge them, and also closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.
Therefore, it seems that using the power of the Netherworld Pearl also caused considerable damage to the Manju Sacred King.
