Chapter 1291: Chapter 1155: Sixth-level Territory City, Wen City Chapter 1291: Chapter 1155: Sixth-level Territory City, Wen City âCongratulations,â Chu Mu said to Mu Qingyi with a smile after she had completed her breakthrough.
It was only then that Mu Qingyi realized that everyoneâs gaze was upon her. A pleasing blush crept onto her face as she spoke, âI was just giving it a try, and before I knew it, I made it through in one go⊠â
âIt seems that Goddess Mu is going to be way ahead of us again,â Ye Wansheng said, a hint of jealousy in his voice.
After reaching the Soul Controller level, itâs not easy for the soul pets to get stuck at the low-grade Master level, and itâs likely that with some Xuan Objects or fortuitous encounters, Mu Qingyiâs soul pets would easily move up to the low-grade or even intermediate Master level.
Mu Qingyi reached the Master level very early. At that time, it was probably Chu Mu and Ye Wansheng who were just stepping into the Emperor level, and she had been stuck at that position for too long. Her strength was always closely pressed and surpassed, but now, with the breakthrough to the Soul Controller level, it was only natural for her to take the lead once again.
âGoddess Mu broke through on her own, and Qingzi has an Emperor Magic Spirit. In a while, she will also reach the Soul Controller level. With both women forging ahead, it really hurts our pride,â Morning Crown Prince muttered.
Ye Wansheng nodded earnestly: âYouâre right!â
âŠ
After Mu Qingyiâs breakthrough, everyone deliberately stayed for a few more days to give her time to stabilize her Soul Sense.
Mu Qingyi indicated that after the breakthrough to Soul Controller, one of her soul pets might gain some new ability. Her Crowned Phoenix King was just like that, having not only completed a Nirvana that vaulted its strength, but it seemed to have gained some kind of racial skill as well, which Mu Qingyi would only know when in battle.
Fox Elder had also mentioned this to Chu Mu, which only made Chu Mu more eager to step into the Soul Controller level. Of course, the most important thing was that with Chu Mu being stuck as a Nine Thoughts Soul Emperor, his soul petsâ levels could only hover around the low-grade Master level. The Demon Tree Warrior had no chance of improvement, and Little Mo Xie couldnât upgrade either.
Zhan Ye and Little Hiding Dragon were both Quasi-Dominators, and because of their multiple attributes, they could burst forth with the combat power of a low-grade Master. Both of them still had room for improvement, but where was Chu Mu going to find the three attribute Spirit Items they needed, especially for Little Hiding Dragon, with Ghost, Beast, and Insect attributes â not to mention it had to be Level 3 Xuan Object, and they had to be mergedâŠ
Before Qingzi stepped into the Soul Controller level, it was unlikely that Chu Mu could improve Little Hiding Dragon and Zhan Ye, so Chu Mu was now focusing on his other soul pets that were still at the Emperor level. The Wind-binding Spirit, Ghost Dome King, and Ice-Feathered Spirit all had simpler attributes, and it would be much easier to strengthen them.

Wen City lay upon a grassland as beautiful as a piece of jade, with roads leading to various different cities. The grass on both sides of the streets intertwined, forming unique grass pavilions, said to prevent the Winged System tribes from plundering resources transported by humans; these grass pavilions served as defense points.
The grass pavilions stood one after another, some even woven as grand as great halls, luxurious and majestic. Inside, merchants would set up shop, displaying various Spirit Items for passersby who would often stop and take a look. If they found the Spirit Item they needed, they would likely linger for a while, pondering whether or not to make a purchase.
The business atmosphere in Wen City was quite strong, and this was why Chu Mu had deliberately left 200 Xuan to visit, with even the outskirts of the city forming such a marketplace inside naturally even more bustling.
Along the way, what everyone heard most about was the matter of the Magic Spirits, always with small groups of people sitting at the grass pavilions.
âHave you heard too? Yes, this time our Wen City lost more than 30 Dominator-level strong ones, including quite a few Low-grade Masters.â
âOur Wen City has only a little over a hundred Dominators, so losing one-third is a serious blow, isnât it?â
âThatâs for sure. We might be downgraded. If weâre downgraded, a lot of border defense will be pulled away. Many Earth Realms and smaller territories will face more tragedies, and business here will become difficult too.â
Every time they heard about the Demon Man, several people would turn their heads to take a glance at Chu Mu and Uncle Bai Yu, who had indeed stirred up quite a commotion in this Sixth-level Territory City!
Chu Mu and Bai Yu were very calm while listening to all sorts of rumors from the people on the street, not blinking much and as if those matters had nothing to do with them.
âUncle Bai Yu, how come you still have friends here?â Chu Mu asked.
Bai Yu, who appeared not much older than everyone else, was actually quite aged. Resigned to the title of âuncleâ, Bai Yu could only gladly accept it.
âEarlier on, I had a couple of people I could call friends. After becoming the Demon Emperor, I got busy and lost touch with them. They continued their adventures and training. They learned of Cloud Gate from ancient texts. One of them went through it, while the other didnât dare. The one who didnât dare is Xiong Shou Yuan Sui, and the one who went through is Li Hong, a former King of the World Realm, also my and Yuan Suiâs big brother,â Bai Yu explained.
âLi Hong, that would make him King Xiao?â Chu Mu was stunned.
âYeah, he was the first to step into the Dominator level. The New Moon Land could no longer satisfy him, so he chose to go outside Yunmen. However, in an accident, he lost several main pets, and his soul was heavily wounded, making it hard for him to recover. Now, he deals with Xuan Objects and Xuan quality trades in Wen City,â Bai Yu said.
âUh⊠the former King Xiao has fallen to become a merchant? No way?â Ye Wansheng and Morning Crown Prince were wide-eyed in disbelief.
âFallen? I wouldnât say that. With the resources he has now, it wouldnât be a problem for him to recreate some Dominator level spirit pets. Heâs probably just worn out,â Bai Yu said.
Bai Yuâs pupils deepened as he recalled his youthful arrogance and bold proclamations made alongside Xiao Leng and Yuan Sui, and a bitter smile couldnât help but surface at the corner of his mouth.
Back then, Xiao Leng had been the strongest, and he had become the King of the World Realm, a feat that many dared not even dream of. Yet, a Kingâs position in the Earth Realm was far from enough to satisfy Xiao Lengâs ambition. He stepped out of New Moon Land and since then, there had been no contact. When Bai Yu met him again, he had aged considerably, devoid of his past arrogance and grandeur, merely a gentle middle-aged man who favored a smiling demeanor.
Yuan Suiâs wish also came true as he became the strongest person in the human domain; at least, he was during the Xiong Shou era. However, the rise of the Three Great Palaces turned Yuan Sui into a prisoner at the palace floor, and his pardon depended on the will of the Three Great Palacesâ top echelonâŠ
As Bai Yu looked back, everyone had already entered Wen City.
Just as Chu Mu had guessed, the commercial atmosphere of Wen City was indeed dense, with large and small trading places, auction houses, marketplaces filled with a dazzling array of goods, the splendid and spacious Gathering Xuan Hall, luxurious and majestic Soul Pet Attic, as well as all kinds of shops that were unseen in New Moon Land, displaying bizarre and strange items.
Of course, apart from these goods that made soul pet trainersâ eyes gleam, there were also various accessories, clothing, sachets, and small pets that women loved.
The items sold in the soul pet trainersâ area mostly had special uses; for example, hairpins and other hair accessories would be inlaid with crystal stones that could form a defensive skill, protecting the wearer in times of crisis.
Besides, there were all kinds of decorative items for sale that could speed up the recovery of Soul Power, enhance spells of clarity, provide cleansing effects, and antidotes. Such effective items were not commonly seen in New Moon Land; rather precious, they would not be easily put up for sale.
Ye Qingzi and Mu Qingyiâs eyes shone brighter as they entered Wen City, obviously tempted by the countless new and beautiful ornaments.
âYou go ahead and take a look first. Uncle Bai Yu and I will check on Princess Jinrouâs condition,â Chu Mu said with a wry smile as he looked at Ye Qingzi and Mu Qingyi.
The two women didnât hesitate and decisively left Chu Mu behind.
âMorning Crown Prince, do you want to join them in their crazy shopping spree or go see a beauty?â teased Ye Wansheng, raising an eyebrow at Chao Lengchuan.
âThey are beauties too,â responded Chao Lengchuan knowingly.
âIâm talking about the kind of beauty that breaks the heart, the type that once you close your eyes, her image fills your mind, capable of scattering your soul â an immortal-level beauty,â explained Ye Wansheng.
âLetâs go!â The Morning Crown Princeâs eyes lit up, and he decisively followed the steps of Ye Wansheng, Chu Mu, and Bai Yu.
Leading the way, Uncle Bai Yu did not forget to glance at Ye Wansheng and said indifferently, âThank you for praising my daughter so highly.â
Tagging along at the rear, Liao Yu seemed to perpetually contemplate something, always casting doubtful glances towards Bai Yu.
âŠ
After passing through the bustling streets and occasionally looking into the attics and palaces, glimpsing spirit items that emitted a tempting luster, the urge to step inside was irresistible.
Amongst the group, Bai Yu was the most indifferent, as he was feeling a bit uneasy inside.
When he had remained temporarily in Wen City, he had learned of the Magic Spirit from Xiao Leng, and followed Yong Chong and Wu Chi to pursue it.
He now had the Magic Spirit, but was unsure if it truly could awaken his daughterâs spirit. He worried that even if the Magic Spirit attached to her body, she would remain with closed eyes, in a seemingly eternal slumber.
âFox Elder, will the Magic Spirit truly be able to awaken her?â Inquiring on behalf of the nervous Bai Yu, Chu Mu asked the Fox Elder.
âIâm not certain, the Magic Spirit is a very strange being⊠speaking of which, I sensed a peculiar aura upon entering this city,â explained the Fox Elder.
What exactly this strange aura was, even the Fox Elder could not quite identify, and thus, he let the matter go.
âHey, why is it this place? Isnât this Uncle Xiaoâs house?â Liao Yu suddenly cried out, pointing at the mansion that was as luxurious as a palace.
âYou donât mean the sick sister is actually Uncle Bai Yuâs daughter, do you?â asked the Morning Crown Prince.
âHow should I know? That immortal-like sister is lying in Uncle Xiaoâs ice crystal room,â answered Liao Yu.
Bai Yu took a look at Liao Yu, no wonder he found the boy somewhat familiar; it turned out he often frequented Xiao Lengâs home.
Liaoâs family lived next door to Xiao Lengâs estate, and the neighbors shared a very cordial relationship. In fact, it was the Liao family who had disclosed information about the Magic Spirit to Xiao Leng and Bai Yu.
