The Great Ruler

Chapter 1352 - The Triving Mu Abode

“We’re going to compete for the Overlord position of the Northern Domain?" Mu Chen’s voice had caused many people to be dumbfounded. They were clearly shocked by Mu Chen’s ambitious plan.

After all, the Northern Region was only considered mid-tier in the Northern Domain. In terms of strength, it’s practically impossible for them to get a dip in the fight. After all, even if Mu Chen was compelling, the Mu Abode was too weak and only had Mandala at the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm.

Looking at everyone’s shocked expressions, Mu Chen faintly smiled before he pointed towards Ling Xi and Long Xiang. "Long Xiang and Ling Xi will join the Mu Abode as well. One of them is a Perfected Earth Sovereign, while the other is a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar."

They have already witnessed Long Xiang’s strength, so no one was surprised. But when they heard that the white-dressed woman was a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar, they instantly exclaimed in shock as they looked at the latter.

While everyone was shocked, Mu Chen waved his sleeve and a spiritual light flickered before a robust silhouette appeared, it was Jiang Long, the Commander of the Black Dragon Army.

"Master." Long Xiang immediately cupped his fists towards Mu Chen before looking around.

"Commander Jiang Long will also belong to our Mu Abode." Mu Chen patted Jiang Long’s shoulder. The latter was also a Perfected Earth Sovereign with mighty strength.

Although Jiang Long had no idea what Mu Chen was doing, he still nodded his head.

A commotion rang out in the hall as Liu Tiandao, and the rest exchanged looks. They felt disbelief that not only had Mu Chen grown stronger upon his return, he brought a group of experts along with him as well.

Those three were Perfected Earth Sovereigns, and in terms of strength, just them alone could surpass the Mu Abode.

But after the commotion, everyone had a blaze flickering in their eyes. In the past, their Mu Abode wouldn’t dare to dip their hands towards the Overlord position of the Northern Domain, since they were still weak. However, Mu Chen’s return had brought the strength of their Mu Abode to a whole new level.

With this strength, perhaps they might really be able to give it a try. At least even if they couldn’t become the Overlord of the Northern Domain, they could at least obtain a position similar to the Violet Cloud Sect.

At that time, their status and resources would drastically change.

Just thinking about them made everyone feel the heat in their hearts. All of them stood up, cupped their hands and bowed towards Mu Chen. "We’re willing to heed the orders of the Abode Ruler!"

Looking at his surroundings, Mu Chen nodded his head in satisfaction. If the Mu Abode wanted to become the Overlord of the Northern Domain, then they needed confidence in their people so that their morale was up.

Turning around, Mu Chen looked at Mandala with a smile. "What do you think?"

"You’re the Ruler, so you make the decisions here." Mandala casually shrugged her shoulders.

She was also astonished at the strength that Mu Chen had brought back. With three Perfected Earth Sovereigns joining them, the entire power of the Mu Abode would be raised to another level.

Naturally, if they wanted to obtain the Overlord position, they would have to depend on Mu Chen. After all, they lacked top-tiered fighting strength to face the Violet Cloud Lord, who had come in contact with the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

As she spoke, she looked at everyone, "Since the Abode Ruler has the intention of competing for the Overlord position, all of you are to increase your cultivation. A month from now, we will participate in the Northern Domain Assembly to fight for the Overlord position!"

"Yes!" Everyone acknowledged before they turned to look at Mu Chen. When the latter nodded his head, only then did they start to leave the hall.

When everyone left, Mandala looked at Mu Chen and blinked her eyes in puzzlement. "Why are you suddenly interested in becoming the Overlord of the Northern Domain?"

She knew Mu Chen’s character, and he wasn’t the ambitious kind. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have abandoned the Mu Abode and disappeared for so long.

Mu Chen looked a little awkward before he frankly replied, "I need at least a billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquids a year, and I’m afraid that that cannot be accomplished by me alone."

Indeed, just as Mandala had said, he wasn’t interested in the position as the Northern Domain’s Overlord. But for the sake of supporting the Black Dragon Army, he had no choice but to do that. To support an army that could even rival an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign at their peak was something that Mu Chen couldn’t give up. However, he couldn’t spend so much time thinking of how to earn Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Thus, if strengthening his force was the only way to resolve this issue in the long term, then so be it.

At this moment, Mandala understood what was going on. Although Mu Chen did not go into details, she could figure out that those Sovereign Spiritual Liquids must be essential for him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be bothered to deal with something so troublesome.

"This is the Mu Abode, and you’re the only Ruler here. As long as you wish for it, the Mu Abode can do anything for you." Mandala glanced at Mu Chen with a smile on her face. She could see that Mu Chen was feeling a little guilty.

Mu Chen nodded his head. Although he’s the Ruler of the Mu Abode, it was something that Mandala had given him. Ever since this force has been established, Mandala has been working hard, and this was her all her hard work. So it was unavoidable for him to feel awkward, since he wanted the Mu Abode to earn such a massive amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid for him.

"Right, this is Big Sister Ling Xi, Long Xiang, and Jiang Long." Mu Chen suppressed the gratitude in his heart before he introduced.

Ling Xi revealed a gentle smile towards Mandala. Along the way, Mu Chen had told them about Mandala, so they also felt gratitude for Mandala, who has been taking care of Mu Chen.

Mandala could sense the gratitude in Ling Xi’s eyes before she swept a glance at Mu Chen. From the looks of it, their relationship didn’t seem to be that simple.

After both sides got to know each other, Mandala led the group. They were heading for the headquarters of the Mu Abode, which was also the Greatlaw Sky of the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Right now, the headquarters has already been linked up with the Ancient Haven Palace.

Mu Chen was also curious about it. They entered the Ancient Haven Palace under Mandala’s lead.

Upon entering the Ancient Haven Palace, the area became covered in an ancient aura. But the ruins were gradually cleared up and newly established palaces were starting to take shape with the outline belonging to the previous Overlord of the Greatlaw Continent.

"There is still a large region that hasn’t been opened up in the Ancient Haven Palace, and other places have damaged some Spiritual Arrays that even I do not dare to touch. I can only restrict the entry towards those places." Looking at this ancient region once again, a smile appeared on Mandala’s face. This was once her home; however, it was destroyed when she woke up.

"You can leave those damaged Spiritual Arrays to Big Sister Ling Xi, she’s a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar, so she should be able to remove them." Mu Chen was satisfied that the Ancient Haven Palace was being filled with vitality, so he smiled.

Ling Xi nodded her head. She was fascinated with Spiritual Arrays, to begin with, so it was an excellent opportunity for her, since she could study those ancient Spiritual Arrays.

Mandala rejoiced in her heart, The Ancient Haven Palace would be able to develop even faster with the help of a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar.

Everyone moved forth, and a brief moment later, they saw a dazzling silver river slowly flowing in the sky, emitting boundless Spiritual Energy.

"What pure heaven and earth Spiritual Energy!" When Ling Xi and Long Xiang saw the colossal river, they instantly exclaimed.

The Spiritual Energy here was ten times denser than outside, and if they could cultivate here, the speed of their cultivation would undoubtedly be fast.

"What a good cultivation ground!" Mu Chen exclaimed as he swept his gaze around. He saw jade-white platforms around the river that were enveloped by a boundless spiritual luster with many silhouettes on them.

In the distance, two streaks of light flew over and descended before the group. It was two charming women, one with an aloof aura, while the other looking gentle. It’s the sisters, Tang Bing and Tang Rou.

"We greet the Abode Ruler and Lord Mandala!" Tang Bing and Tang Rou said with respectful voices.

But just when they wanted to bow down, they were stopped by a gentle power and Mu Chen shook his head with a smile. "We’ve known each other for a long time, so there’s no need for such etiquette."

Back then, it was Tang Bing, and Tang Rou who took care of him when he joined the Nine Nether Palace as a puny Commander. Because of them, he could stand out amongst the Nine Nether Palace and the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Seeing the familiar smile on Mu Chen’s face, Tang Bing and Tang Rou’s tensed bodies loosened up. It seemed that, even if Mu Chen held a new identity, he was the same Mu Chen from before.

"Right now, Tang Bing and Tang Rou are the managers of the Mu Abode. Many internal affairs are under their charge, like the Heavenly Lake Cultivation Token, which is the hottest thing in the Northern Region right now." Mandala smiled.

"The Heavenly Lake Cultivation Token?" Mu Chen was briefly stunned.

"The Heavenly Lake is a cultivation place that’s even rare outside. To reward and motivate the experts of the Mu Abode, we have laid down a rule. Every city under the Mu Abode can obtain a fixed annual amount of Heavenly Lake Cultivation Tokens, and those with it could cultivate in here for a year." Mandala explained.

"Right now, everyone in the Mu Abode is working hard just for the Heavenly Lake Cultivation Token."

Mu Chen was full of praises when he heard that. That meant that they have maximised the attraction of the Heavenly Lake, and it would also attract more experts to join their Mu Abode in the long run.

"Formidable." Mu Chen raised his thumb towards Tang Bing and Tang Rou.

A smile appeared on Tang Bing’s face, while Tang Rou’s face turned red as she kneaded the corner of her clothes.

Mu Chen raised his head, looked at everyone that’s cultivating here and couldn’t help sighing. The Mu Abode was thriving, filled with vitality. They only needed a chance, and the Mu Abode was bound to rise in the future.

As Mu Chen sighed, his gaze turned towards Mandala. "Help me arrange Big Sister Ling Xi and the rest."

When he finished, his silhouette disappeared. Mandala watched this scene thoughtfully.

That’s because, just a moment ago, she had felt a vague and familiar calling that seemed to be from the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of the Ancient haven Palace...
