The Great Ruler

Chapter 1410 - Pagoda Realm

The laughter rang out and a lady appeared, wearing black clothes and trousers. Her waist and those long legs of hers were perfectly outlined. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, looking lively.

She was also blessed with an appearance and her face was plastered with a smile. Wittiness flickered in her pupils that could alleviate the mood of those who looked at her. She’s naturally Lin Jing.

“You didn’t run out again, right?” Mu Chen smiled with his eyes narrowed.

“No way!” Lin Jing wrinkled her nose and took a step back, revealing another silhouette. When Mu Chen and the rest saw that person, their expressions turned weird.

It was a silhouette in white robes. He looked extremely handsome and even pretty. If one took a closer look at that person, they would realise that this was actually a man.

“This is Uncle Diao, the Sworn Brother of my father.” Lin Jing held onto the arm of that man and chuckled before winking her eyes at Mu Chen. “Isn’t he beautiful?”

Everyone else felt awkward, since they had no idea how to answer that question.

When that gorgeous man heard Lin Jing’s words, the corner of his lips twitched. If someone else had called him beautiful, he would’ve taught them a lesson by now, but he had no such thoughts for Lin Jing, so he could only helplessly glare at her.

“Hoho, this must be the Second Ruler of the Martial Realm, Mister Lin Diao, right?” Yao Chen smiled.

When Mu Chen heard that, his heart trembled. He heard that the Second Ruler of the Martial Ancestor was also from the Lower Planes, and he was a Celestial Demon Marten. When he entered the Great Thousand World, he evolved into a Divine Beast, and in terms of strength, he wasn’t any weaker than an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.

“Lin Diao greets Old Yao.” Lin Diao cupped his hands and retracted the coldness he had before.

Thereafter, he turned to Mu Chen and swept a glance. “I believe you must be Mu Chen, right?”

“I pay my greetings to Senior Lin Diao.” Mu Chen nodded his head.

“What marvelous talent, no wonder Lin Dong would view you with high regards.” Lin Diao praised. With his gaze, he could naturally tell that Mu Chen’s foundation was robust. Although he’s just a Spirit Heavenly Sovereign, he might be able to ascend the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm in the future.

“We know about your message, and the Martial Realm will provide support when needed.”

Yao Chen warmly smiled as well. “If needed, the Endless Fire Territory will also help.”

Mu Chen smiled and nodded his head. This trip to the Ancient Buddha Clan was a perilous one, and albeit being a Heavenly Sovereign now, he’s still too weak if he wants to tear out the Ancient Buddha Clan.

Before he made his move, he had already sent people to request help from the Martial Realm and Endless Fire Territory. Naturally, that was only a safeguard, in case the Ancient Buddha Clan goes against the rules. Otherwise, Mu Chen wasn’t afraid of them.

“Then I’ll have to express my gratitude. This time, I’m owing a favor.” Mu Chen thanked and bowed towards Lin Diao and Yao Chen.

The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor had given him protection to thank him for saving Xiao Xiao and Lin Jing, but the two chances he had were already used. So if he needed their help, then he would be the one owing them favors.

“Right now, you’re qualified to owe other people favors.” Lin Diao smiled. His speech was clear. In the Great Thousand World, not just anyone could request help from the Martial Realm and Endless Fire Territory. Although Mu Chen had just stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm right now, he’s a potential Saint Heavenly Sovereign in the future.

Mu Chen nodded his head. “In the future, if my help is required, this Junior will do his best.”

Ling Xi and Long Xiang couldn’t help sighing in relief. Now they understood why Mu Chen would come to the Ancient Buddha Clan. It turns out that he came prepared.

With support from the Endless Fire Territory and the Martial Realm, the Ancient Buddha Clan wouldn’t be able to bully Mu Chen.

Ling Xi looked at Mu Chen with a gratified gaze. Who could’ve imagined that the youth that came out from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy back then would have already grown by now? It was so much so that he could even invite the two pinnacle supreme forces of the Great Thousand World, and facing the two colossi, not even the Ancient Buddha Clan would dare to take rash actions.

“Since we’re all already here, then let us head to the Pagoda Realm.” Yao Chen smiled.

Everyone nodded their heads and the attendant swiftly came over, then called over the most luxurious boat.

After all, the two colossi weren’t any weaker than the Ancient Maha Clan, not to mention that even the five Ancient Clans would be fearful when facing the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor.

As for Mu Chen’s group of three, they’re able to ride the most luxurious boat due to the Endless Fire Territory and the Martial Realm. They left under all the envious gazes.

The boat swiftly traveled and reached the gate in just a few minutes, then slowly entered...

When the boat entered, a powerful force swept out that even caused Yao Chen and Lin Diao’s eyes to narrow.

“The Protective Spiritual Array of the Ancient Buddha Clan...” Mu Chen had also sensed this and he squinted his eyes. His attainments in Spiritual Arrays had also reached Spiritual Array Scholar Realm, so he could vaguely sense a massive Spiritual Array protecting this space.

This Protective Spiritual Array was something that not even a Saint Heavenly Sovereign could destroy.

“There are many methods used in this Protective Spiritual Array. It’s clearly been perfected by the latter generations...” Mu Chen squinted his eyes and briefly sensed the Protective Spiritual Array before his eyes trembled. He could sense a familiarity coming from it.

“It’s my mother... my mother has also joined in perfecting this Protective Spiritual Array, and it’s extremely clear. It shouldn’t have been too long ago...” Mu Chen’s gaze flickered before a peculiar smile rose on his lips, before it swiftly disappeared.

When the boat entered, the scenery changed. It was as if they had entered another world with pure Spiritual Energy filling the entire region.

“Truly worthy of being the core of the Ancient Buddha Clan.” Mu Chen sighed at this scene. Even the Ancient Haven Palace was lacking when compared to this Pagoda Realm.

However, the Ancient Haven Palace was forged by the Heavenly Emperor alone, and no one managed it after his fall. Thus, it was corroded by the passing of time, which was contrary to the Pagoda Realm. It had been well-managed over the tens of thousands of years, so it’s naturally stronger than the Ancient Haven Palace.

The boat streaked across the horizon, and an incense’s time later, the boat slowed down. Mu Chen and the rest had also sensed the sudden decrease in speed and they looked up ahead.

A massive mountain range appeared before their view with massive black pagodas filling the entire heavens and earth with an ancient aura.

When they saw the boat reaching this region, a streak of light flew over from the distance and landed on the boat.

“The Ancient Buddha Clan’s Kong Kong greets Old Yao and Mister Lin Diao.” It was an elderly man with black-and-white mixed hair. A powerful pressure emanated from his body. He was clearly a Spirit Heavenly Sovereign.

“So it’s Elder Kong Kong.” Yao Chen and Lin Diao nodded their heads.

Mu Chen glanced at Elder Kong Kong before sweeping his gaze to his rear and was briefly stunned. He saw a silhouette with widened eyes that was looking at him.

“Qing Shuang...” Mu Chen looked at the lady and his gaze flickered. He never expected to meet Qing Shuang in the Ancient Buddha Clan.

“Guests from afar, please come and have a rest.” Elder Kong Kong remained polite to Yao Chen and Lin Diao with a gentle smile before glancing at Mu Chen. “This young friend looks familiar, do you have an invitation?”

“He’s a friend of the two of us, he’s here to watch the ceremony as well.” Yao Chen smiled.

Kong Kong nodded his head with a smile before his gaze turned faint and felt that Mu Chen must be from an ordinary force, since he couldn’t even take out an invitation.

“Please follow me.” Kong Kong turned around and flew towards a majestic mountain that was filled with well-decorated courtyards meant for important guests.

“Qing Shuang, lead the three guests into the courtyard.” Kong Kong said to Qing Shuang. He naturally wanted to receive Yao Chen and Lin Diao’s groups. As for Mu Chen’s group, there’s no need for him to personally receive them.

Qing Shuang nodded and led the way.

Mu Chen nodded his head towards Yao Chen and Lin Diao before he went with Ling Xi and Long Xiang.

The group of them walked and came to a place without people before Qing Shuang stopped and turned around. She gave a furious look at Mu Chen. “You’re really seeking death! Why did you come to the Ancient Buddha Clan?!

“You’re practically throwing yourself into the net!”
