The Great Ruler

Chapter 1448 - Cause

The Greatlaw Continent, Mu Abode’s Headquarter in the Northern Region

The headquarters had a high platform behind the building, where a massive Spiritual Array was laid. However, that Spiritual Array was dim, since it belonged to an incomplete product.

But today, the Spiritual Array suddenly emanated a radiance with violent spatial fluctuations that formed into a vortex and a silhouette came out.

“It looks like the Teleportation Spiritual Array has successfully linked.” That person looked at the Spiritual Array beneath his feet that radiated with spiritual light and signs of being activated.

That person was naturally Mu Chen, who had just returned, taking a full five days for him to arrive.

However, Mu Chen was satisfied with the speed. Otherwise, he would take two to three months.

When he appeared, silhouettes flew over. It was a team of guards donned in armor.

“Who are you? How dare you come to the Mu Abode’s Headquarters!” The guard hollered with his Spiritual Energy exploding, fixating his eyes on Mu Chen.

“You’ve responded pretty swiftly.” Mu Chen smiled. He was satisfied with these guards. When he walked out, his appearance instantly became distinct.

“It’s the Abode Ruler!”

“Your subordinate greets the Abode Ruler!”

They were shocked when they saw Mu Chen, before they kneeled to a single knee.

“Get up.” Mu Chen casually smiled and waved his hand, lifting them up.

It was also at this moment when two streaks descended from the sky. They were Mandala and that Profound Sky Ancestor.

“You’re finally back.” Mandala instantly felt relieved upon seeing Mu Chen.

Mu Chen first smiled before cupping his hands towards the Profound Sky Ancestor. “I have to thank Elder Profound Sky for keeping my Mu Abode safe these days.”

The Profound Sky Ancestor immediately gave a passionate smile. “What are you saying? I’m an Elder of the Mu Abode, so it’s naturally my responsibility to protect the Mu Abode.”

Mu Chen smiled. The Profound Sky Ancestor was forced into this position by him in the past. Back then, he was so unwilling, so why did his attitude suddenly change?

Seeing Mu Chen’s doubts, the Profound Sky Ancestor awkwardly smiled. “Abode Ruler’s awe-inspiring deeds in the Ancient Buddha Clan have spread throughout the Great Thousand World.”

When the Profound Sky Ancestor heard that news, he was terrified. Although he knew that Mu Chen wasn’t weak, he never imagined that he could really flip the entire Ancient Buddha Clan and relying on his own strength to suppress the Xuan and Mo Bloodlines.

What made the Profound Sky Ancestor even more fearful was that Mu Chen’s mother was now the Grand Elder of the Ancient Buddha Clan...

With that background, there were not many forces in the Great Thousand World that would dare to underestimate Mu Chen and his Mu Abode. Thus, the Profound Sky Ancestor felt that the Mu Abode would be extraordinary in the future.

Mu Chen’s gaze flickered. He knew the Profound Sky Ancestor’s thoughts. However, he wasn’t bothered about it. If he could get the Profound Sky Ancestor to faithfully become the Elder of the Mu Abode, it was beneficial to the Mu Abode.

Thus, his gaze became more warm while looking at the Profound Sky Ancestor and said to Mandala, “How’s the Mu Abode recently?”

The Mu Abode had utterly dominated the Northern Region and was even constantly expanding across the Greatlaw Continent. They would undoubtedly have conflicts with those veterans, and it might be easy for there to be trouble.

“There were some commotions, but after the news of your achievements in the Ancient Buddha Clan spreading out, the entire Greatlaw Continent went silent. Even the supreme forces behind them showed signs of retreating...” Mandala sighed. She expected that their Mu Abode might face a ferocious competition. However, she never expected that Mu Chen’s achievements in the Ancient Buddha Clan would suppress everything.

Mu Chen sighed as well, since he knew that those supreme forces weren’t afraid of him, but his mother.

He had underestimated the intimidation of a Saint Grade Spiritual Array Ancestor.

But that’s good news. If those supreme forces showed signs of retreating, the Mu Abode would become the undisputed Overlord of the entire Greatlaw Continent in the future. Making use of this supercontinent, the Mu Abode would also reach one of the top forces in the Great Thousand World.

But, naturally... Mu Chen had to reach the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm. Otherwise, there’s no hope for Mu Chen to see that.

“What’s wrong with Nine Nether?” Calming himself, Mu Chen asked with a cold gaze.

“Let Elder Tian Que tell you about it. I have already informed him to come over.” Mandala replied.

As they spoke, a flaming streak flew over and stopped before Mu Chen. It was Elder Tian Que, who came to pick Nine Nether up back then.

“Tian Que of the Nine Nether Bird Clan greets the Abode Ruler.” Elder Tian Que was emotional as he looked at the youth before Mandala. He sighed as well, since the Great Havenlaw Domain was just one of the forces in the Northern Region back then.

Whereas he held a high attitude and looked down on the Great Havenlaw Domain. After all, the Nine Nether Bird Clan was also one of the Divine Beast Clans with a foundation so deep that the Great Havenlaow Domain couldn’t be compared to it.

At that time, he never imagined that within a few years, the Great Havenlaw Domain would be changed to the Mu Abode and rule over the Northern Region. It was so much so that even the other supreme forces in the Greatlaw Continent didn’t dare to compete with it. Furthermore, that little Sovereign from back then had also stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm and even the Ancient Buddha Clan couldn’t do anything to him...

When he met Mu Chen back then, Mu Chen was a junior. However, he had to respectfully greet him now...

“Elder Tian Que is too courteous.” Mu Chen showed warmth on his face without any of the arrogance of a Heavenly Sovereign and cupped his hands as well.

Seeing Mu Chen still as warm as the past, Elder Tian Que felt relieved in his heart. He knew that geniuses like Mu Chen were arrogant, and their Nine Nether Bird Clan even made things difficult for him back then. But it looked like Mu Chen did not place it in his heart.

“Nine Nether’s eyesight is good, much better than old fellows like us.” Elder Tian Que bitterly smiled. If he knew that Mu Chen would have such achievements, he wouldn’t have objected to their Bloodlink Bond.

“Elder Tian Que, let’s speak about Nine Nether.” Mu Chen smiled.

Speaking of this matter, a bitter expression appeared on Elder Tian Que’s face. “Please save Nine Nether and save our Nine Nether Bird Clan!”

The warmth on Mu Chen’s face retracted and his gaze turned cold. “Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to her.”

“It’s like this, when Nine Nether returned some time ago, she kept bothering the Patriarch to search for opportunities, since she was too weak. She must undergo an evolution to awaken the Undying Bird’s Bloodline and enter the ranks of Supreme Divine Beasts.” Elder Tian Que bitterly smiled.

Mu Chen squinted his eyes upon hearing those words. He knew that Nine Nether must’ve sensed that he had entered the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, while she was lacking behind. Thus, she returned to the Nine Nether Bird Clan to seek her evolution.

Thinking about this, Mu Chen felt complicated, since Nine Nether did this for him.

“The Patriarch was helpless against her pestering and brought her to the Phoenix Clan. The Phoenix Clan has a Deitification Pool that the ancestors of every flying beast would enter when they die, merging their blood essence within it. This is a great opportunity left by the ancestors. Back then, one of our Nine Nether Clan’s ancestors had also entered it, so our clan also has a quota. After some discussion, we decided to give it to Nine Nether.”

After talking about that, Elder Tian Que’s face became more bitter. “That’s when the problem started. We never expected that the Real Phoenix King’s son would be cultivating the Nine Circulation Saint Art. It’s a Peerless Divine Ability that would require him to devour the bloodline of a Supreme Divine Beast during each nirvana. He’s currently at the eighth nirvana, and he has his eyes on Nine Nether’s Undying Bird’s Bloodline.”

“Nine Circulation Saint Art?” Mu Chen squinted his eyes. This Divine Ability was one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities. He never expected that the son of the Real Phoenix King managed to cultivate it.

“You know that Nine Nether is the hope of my entire Nine Nether Bird Clan, and if Huang Xuanzhi devours her Undying Bird’s Bloodline, she won’t be able to progress in the future. That means that her future will be ruined!” Elder Tian Que gritted his teeth.

“The Real Phoenix King said that if we’re not willing, Huang Xuanzhi will make a move himself in the Deitification Pool. At that time, Nine Nether’s life might even be at stake!

“Although we’re allowed to bring a protector into the Deitification Pool, the Nine Nether Bird Clan only has one Heavenly Sovereign, who is a Middle Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign. We can’t protect Nine Nether.

“My Nine Nether Bird Clan has recently been trying our best to invite some Heavenly Sovereigns that we have relations with in the past. But all of them have refused out of fear for the Phoenix Clan!” As he spoke, Elder Tian Que’s face was covered in tears, while wanting to kneel.

However, a powerful force stopped him, so he raised his head and looked at Mu Chen. He was also feeling anxious in his heart, wondering if Mu Chen would agree to it. Although he and Nine Nether had a Bloodlink Bond, this involved the Phoenix Clan, who was one of the top supreme forces in the Great Thousand World and ordinary Heavenly Sovereigns wouldn’t dare to offend them.

As he looked at Mu Chen’s face, a ridiculing expression appeared on the latter’s face. “Making a move himself?”

Mu Chen turned to look at Elder Tian Que and his cold voice had caused Elder Tian Que to tremble from the emotions. “Elder Tian Que, I’ll make a trip with you. I’ll see how capable that Huang Xuanzhi is to take the bloodline himself...”
