Chapter 88: The Origin of Muxingchen

  Ye Xuan had just arrived at Mu Xingchen's side, and Mu Xingchen opened his eyes.

  Ye Xuan's mouth opened wide: "Brother Yuan, your Sleep Dream Great Method earlier was really formidable!"

  Mu Xingchen rolled her eyes and said with feigned anger: "What's this 'Sleep Dream Great Method'! What does it mean!"

  Ye Xuan bared a row of white teeth and said, "If it's not the Sleep Dream Technique, then why did I see many shadows jumping around in broad daylight, just like ants on the ground? You see..."

  "Shut up!" Mu Xingchen couldn't take it anymore, this guy actually described my Invincible Nine Shadows Technique as similar to an ant's movements. If I hadn't heard it myself, if the elder of the Mu family had heard it a few hundred years ago, he would have probably slapped you to death.

  "That's a family heirloom secret art! A superior secret art! Do you understand?" Mu Xingchen raised an eyebrow and said.

  "Ah, I see, high-end grasshoppers are still grasshoppers!" Ye Xuan scratched his head.

  A loud crash was heard, and Mu Xingchen's body, which had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, toppled over.

  "Haha! Alright, Brother Yuan, Ye Xuan has come to thank you for saving me earlier, Mu Da Xia!" Ye Xuan said with a serious tone.

  Moxing Chen heard the three words "Moxing Daxia" and calmed down a bit, sat up and said: "No need to thank me, I think your thanks are fake, you're here to resolve your inner doubts, aren't you?"

  Mu Xingchen's eyes swept back and forth on Ye Xuan's body, as if seeing through his thoughts.

  "Not bad, Brother Monkey, Ye Xuan indeed doesn't understand, and I don't know why you're helping me? After all, Brother Monkey and I are just acquaintances!" Ye Xuan finally expressed his inner doubts.

  "I'm going to say something with an open heart, do you believe me?" asked Mu Xingchen.

  Ye Xuan shook his head.

  "Alright! I'll tell you then! You know my real name is Muru Xingchen, but do you know my origins?"

  "The Mo family was originally a mid-tier family in the Thunder Empire. It's said that our family's founder was an extremely powerful being at the Xian Yuan boundary, and that was because he had a Nine Shadow Heart. Later on, this Nine Shadow Heart became our family's secret technique, but because no one has been able to gain recognition from the Nine Shadow Heart over the years, our family's strength has gradually weakened!"

  "These nine shadows contain a very powerful energy, as long as you get his recognition, you can get his inheritance and obtain the strongest power!"

  "It's a pity that no one has been recognized for these years, but two hundred years ago, the secret of our family's possession of the Nine Shadows Heart was known by the Thunder Empire's Extreme Sect. At that time, the sect master of the Extreme Sect had given birth to a son with a heavenly gift like a demon, so the sect master of the Extreme Sect wanted to seize our Nine Shadows Heart to let his own son refine it!"

  Ye Xuan furrowed his brow upon hearing the name "Jile Zong" for the third time. The first time was from Ye Zhenwu, who mentioned that their mother had rejected a marriage proposal from Jile Zong's young master many years ago. The second time was when Nan Gong Qiu, the elder of the Nan Gong family, brought it up, saying that the Nan Gong family had been oppressed by Jile Zong. Now hearing it again, Ye Xuan wondered just how powerful this Jile Zong clan really was?

  "It was at that time, the Xīnglè Zōng forced our family for their own desires, and our family suffered greatly. Everyone died at the hands of Xīnglè Zōng. I thought I was doomed to die too, but unexpectedly, I was rescued by Jiǔmù Yún senior. At that time, Jiǔmù Yún had urgent matters to attend to, and brought me to this Tàixuān ancient country."

  "In fact, even if they got the Nine Shadows' Heart, it would be useless. The Nine Shadows' Heart has already become a Blood Legacy, and only those with the Mu family bloodline have the opportunity to gain recognition!"

  Ye Xuan's face changed color when he heard the name of Jing Mu Yun, unexpectedly, Mu Xing Chen actually knew Jing Mu Yun, who was also the creator of all his Yun Quan divine techniques, this mysterious strong man in the wheel of the void.

  However, Mu Xingchen said a lot of things that didn't make sense. Ye Xuan asked: "So you knew Jingmu Yun senior, and you said you came to Tai Xuan ancient country 200 years ago?"

  Muxingchen nodded slightly.

  "It's been two hundred years, and even the venerable Surmud Cloud is no longer around. How come you're still not dead?" Ye Xuan asked, somewhat unintentionally, as it was indeed impolite to ask someone why they hadn't died yet.

  However, Mu Xingchen was not concerned and explained: "Because I have the Nine Shadows Heart, all of which can keep my appearance unchanged, so I've lived for so long! As for Xi Muyun's senior, if he hadn't been seriously injured, he wouldn't have ascended to heaven either."

  Mo Xingchen's eyes revealed a hint of distant memories as he said this.

  "It was only when you used the Cloudy Sunset Elder's Cloud Gate Divine Technique that I realized you had obtained his true legacy!"

  Ye Xuan then told the story of how he had refined and transformed himself in the Xuantai Tower to obtain the Cloud Gate Divine Technique.

  Moxing Chen nodded and said, "So that's what happened. On that day, Xun Wu was seriously injured and brought me to the Jiuyingshan Mountains. He then closed his doors to break through to the Huanyuan realm, and before I closed my doors, he told me that if I couldn't pass this test, my life would be in danger! Two years later, I entered the place where he was closing his doors, only to find that there was only a statue of him left in the cave!"

  "Since then, I have been guarding the Xuan Tower, constantly trying to gain the recognition of the Nine Shadows' Heart!"

  "Then why didn't you refine this Sitting Tower of Profound Mystery?" Ye Xuan asked in puzzlement.

  Muxingchen shook his head and said, "Jingmuxi is my lifesaver, after he died, only leaving behind the Xuhuantower. How could I bear to refine it? Until you unexpectedly obtained the Xuhuantower and used the Yunque Shengfa, I realized that Jingmuxi had left behind his true legacy. Moreover, I have the Jiuying Heart, so I don't need it. More than a hundred years ago, I gained half-acknowledgment of the Jiuying Heart and obtained the Huanjing Technique, which is what you call the Sleep Dream Great Method!"

  Ye Xuan smiled awkwardly and said: "Wow, you've gained recognition? That means you're going to explode soon!"

  "But just as you obtained the Xuan Tower, my Nine Shadow Heart disappeared!"

  Ye Xuan was shocked and now he understood why Mu Xingchen said that something was lost. He went to find Long Zian and Teng Sha to settle the account, and it turned out that Jiuying's heart was gone!

  "So why did you let Teng Sha go just now?"

  Moxingchen shook his head and said: "I have a physical connection with Jiuyingshen, but I didn't sense anything from Longzi'an and Tengsha, it seems they are not the ones who stole it!"

  Ye Xuan finally understood everything.

  However, he had one thing that didn't make sense, and asked: "Brother Yuan, you said you obtained the Phantom Technique over a hundred years ago, but how did it take you more than a hundred years to just reach the peak of the Ri Xuan realm?"

  Moxing Chen heard this and gave Yexuan a resentful glance. This stinky brat, why did he have to bring up his own painful past? Who would want to talk about being a useless waste of space for a hundred years before reforming their body?

  Ye Xuan felt this resentment and was bewildered by it.

  "You don't need to know about this!" Mu Xingchen gritted his teeth and scowled.

  Ye Xuan saw Mu Xingchen like this, his eyes rolled over, and he smiled slyly.

  Mu Xingchen felt uncomfortable all over under this laughter, always feeling that Ye Xuan's smile was full of ridicule.
