Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
In this half a month of preparation, Mandala had finally confirmed the formation of the Great Heaven Domain. Although there weren't many of them, they were all meticulously selected, practically all the elites of the Great Heaven Domain had been mobilized.
Not only was Mandala personally going to the Ancient Haven Palace, even the five Emperors and various Kings were not spared. Even some outstanding Great City Lords were allowed to follow along. Although there weren't more than fifty of them, even the weakest amongst them had stepped into the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm.
The ruins of the Ancient Haven Palace were filled with danger and no one knew what sort of danger was hidden there. So it wasn't a wise move to recklessly charge in under this situation. Thus, quality was more important than quantity in this trip.
But this time, the Great Heaven Domain wasn't the only force that was mobilized, but the alliance formed by the peak forces of the Northern Region. Thus, the other forces were a little slower. Under this situation, Mandala had briefly pondered before ordering Mu Chen and Jiu You to lead the various Kings to the location of the Ancient Haven Palace. They had to gather as much information as they could about the Ancient Haven Palace before the Northern Region's alliance arrived.
Mu Chen was more than happy to be the vanguard, since his heart had been stirred by the Ancient Haven Palace. Under this state, there wasn't much effect in his cultivation, so he might as well head to the location of the Ancient Haven Palace first to investigate it. After all, it was too far from the Northern Region. Even if Mandala was a Greater Earth Sovereign, she wouldn't be able to understand the situation there.
Outside a Teleportation Spiritual Array in the Greatlaw Sky
Mu Chen stood with his hands behind his back with Jiu You by his side. Behind them, there were three silhouettes respectfully standing with their hands by their sides. It was an old man, a middle-aged man, and a gorgeous woman. The white-haired old man had a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation around him.
His strength had actually reached the Eighth Grade Sovereign Realm, and he was also one of the various Kings of the Great Heaven Domain, known as the White Emperor in the Great Heaven Domain.
Even amongst the various Kings, this old man's strength was top-notch.
They were all top-notch cultivators, and they had great experience. They had traveled the Greatlaw Continent in the past, and this was also the reason why Zhang Xuan had brought them along.
As for the middle-aged man and gorgeous woman, their strength was pretty good.
Their strengths were pretty decent as well, both of them had stepped into the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm. The two of them had been paying a visit to the Nine Nether Palace during this period of time. Back then, they were just wandering cultivators that relied on opportunities to cultivate to their current level. So they needed some protection the most to seek for better cultivation resources from the Great Havenlaw Domain. With one Palace and two Emperors, the Nine Nether Palace was clearly the best place for them to rely on.
Initially, Mu Chen did not pay any attention to their request.
On the other hand, Tang Bing had investigated the two of them, before recommending them to Mu Chen and Jiu You. The two of them had been bitterly cultivating, and they had tenacious characters. They could be considered to have potential, and most importantly, they weren't ungrateful people.
After being in charge of the Jiu You Palace for so many years, Tang Bing's eyesight was sharp, and both Mu Chen and Jiu You trusted her.
In the end, she agreed to let the two of them rely on the Jiu You Palace, and brought the two of them along for this trip to the Ancient Haven Palace.
"Lord Mu, this Teleportation Spiritual Array leads to a city in the periphery of the Great Heaven Domain.
After a few more teleportations, we will be able to leave the Northern Region at the fastest speed possible. "
The one who spoke was the beautiful woman. She wore a long red dress that accentuated her slender and exquisite figure. She wore a thin layer of makeup, which made her look a bit flirtatious.
Her name was Tan Qiu, also known as Monarch Qiu in the Great Heaven Domain. It was said that there were many suitors among the various Kings.
"Alright."
Mu Chen nodded his head and exchanged a look with Jiu You. "Let's go, then."
Jiu You naturally had no objections and the two of them stepped into the Teleportation Spiritual Array. As a spiritual lustre flickered, their silhouettes had disappeared.
After they disappeared, the white-haired elder looked at the gorgeous woman and the middle-aged man as he slowly said, "On this trip, the Domain Ruler has sent a message over. Although the two Lords have outstanding talent and extraordinary strength, they are still too young. The three of us have roamed for years and have some experience. So it's best for us to keep our eyes open for the two Lords. If anything happens to the two Lords, I'm afraid that the Great Havenlaw Domain will not be able to keep us."
"What are you saying? It's rare that the two of you are willing to accept me as your concubine, so I will naturally repay you with my life." Tan Qiu smiled.
"If anyone wants to harm the two of you, they can do so over my dead body."
The tall and strong middle-aged man patted his chest. Although his expression was a little dull, he appeared exceptionally solemn.
This person was like a rock, so everyone in the Great Heaven Domain addressed him as the Stone Monarch.
Seeing this, the white-haired old man nodded his head. Without saying anything else, he led the two of them into the teleportation Spiritual Array. As the spiritual light flickered, they swiftly disappeared, leaving only faint spatial ripples that rippled out.
The extreme west of the Greatlaw Continent was an extremely desolate place in the continent, and there were countless natural disasters. There were gales that were violent enough to tear mountains apart, snow that descended, and ice that covered an area of 50,000km. There were mutated beasts that didn't possess high intelligence, but each of them possessed spirituality and were extremely difficult to deal with.
All sorts of threats made it so that no one would step into the extreme west. Aside from some organisations that specialised in hunting beasts and searching for treasures, no one would come here.
But this situation had completely changed in less than half a year. That's because in the depths of the extreme west, space had shattered and an ancient palace could be vaguely seen.
It was the Ancient Haven Palace!
This matter had caused an uproar in the entire Greatlaw Continent. At the same time, it had also caused the Barren Realm to explode with many forces and experts swarming over like a swarm of locusts, causing the Barren Realm to be comparable to the most flourishing region in the continent in just half a year.
It was so much so that the quantity and quality of those experts were even greater.
It could be said that the extreme west had probably become the centre of the entire Greatlaw Continent. All of this was due to the appearance of the Ancient Haven Palace, the former Overlord of the Greatlaw Continent.
That was also the objective of Mu Chen's party.
The distance between the Northern Region and the extreme west was nearly half of the Greatlaw Continent. If Mu Chen were to fly, he might not be able to reach that distance even in half a year.
Fortunately, there were many Teleportation Spiritual Arrays that could be used along the way. But even so, when Mu Chen's group passed through many vast regions and gradually approached the extreme west, it had already been half a month.
In a small city close to the extreme west, Mu Chen's party sat in a teahouse. This city was initially rather remote, but because it was close to the extreme west, it was filled with people. It was so much so that there were streaks of light constantly streaking across the sky, clearly heading towards the extreme west.
The teahouse was also filled with people and every single one of them had Spiritual Energy surging around them. Clearly, they weren't weak.
"Lord Mu, Jiu You, we're already approaching the extreme west. But there won't be any Teleportation Spiritual Arrays that we can use, so we can only travel." Tan Qiu sat beside Mu Chen and said in a gentle voice.
Mu Chen lightly nodded his head. The extreme west was too barren, so there shouldn't be any forces that spent the effort to construct a Teleportation Spiritual Array there. But fortunately, it wasn't far away and they could reach it in a few days with their speed.
"Through the information that we've gathered, there's a city called the West City at the border of the extreme west. It's the largest city in the extreme west, with many powerhouses gathered there. There are even some that have returned from the extreme west, so we should be able to obtain some information about the Ancient Haven Palace there." The white-haired White King said in a respectful voice.
"It's so much so that there are some bold fellows that snuck into the cracks of the Ancient Haven Palace to obtain items before auctioning them off in the West City, attracting many people."
"Oh?"
Mu Chen's gaze slightly trembled when he heard those words. Those fellows were truly courting death. The Ancient Haven Palace's ruins were in chaos and they would be sucked into the cracks if they weren't careful. So it's unwise for them to enter at this moment.
But if they could obtain some items from the Ancient Haven Palace, then they might be able to obtain some clues so that they could be ahead of others in the Ancient Haven Palace. Opportunities were something that depended on who could obtain it first.
"Looks like we have to make a trip to the West City." Jiu You nodded her head.
Mu Chen nodded his head. Aside from that, there should be many powerful figures in the Greatlaw Continent gathered in the Western City. He wondered if there would be anyone amongst the younger generations that could shake the heavens and earth in the Greatlaw Continent, so he wanted to take a look.
"Let's go to the West City."
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Mu Chen no longer hesitated and stood up. He left the teahouse and turned into a streak of light as he soared into the sky with Jiu You and the rest following behind. In the blink of an eye, they had disappeared into the horizon.
Just when Mu Chen and the rest were heading towards the West City, a white-dressed lady walked out of an inn in another distant city. Her brows were like a painting, her appearance was as beautiful as a celestial. Her pair of eyes were extremely spirited, making her look like a celestial from a painting.
However, she didn't seem to be bothered about her celestial-like bearing. She retrieved a rare Spiritual Fruit that emanated astonishing Spiritual Energy and devoured it in a few bites under everyone's salivating gazes. In the end, she leisurely patted her hands and raised her head as she muttered to herself, "That fellow is also in the Greatlaw Continent. I wonder where he is right now. I still owe him a favour back then."
She tilted her head and pondered before she helplessly flung her rosy lips aside and left the city with her hands behind her back.
