The crystal pagoda in his body trembled. Although Mu Chen's expression did not change, there was a smear of shock in the depths of his eyes. He never expected that Yan Emperor would be so powerful that he could sense the crystal pagoda in his body with just a glance.
"Could it be that even Heavenly Sovereigns can sense it?"
Mu Chen knitted his brows. If that's the case, then it wasn't good news for him. After all, if he attracted the attention of the Ancient Buddha Clan, then it would definitely be troublesome.
But very soon, Mu Chen overturned this speculation, since he could sense that even the West Heaven Battle Emperor couldn't sense the crystal pagoda in his body.
That also meant that not all Heavenly Sovereigns possessed such terrifying capabilities, unless they've reached Yan Emperor's level.
But someone like Yan Emperor was a rare existence, even in the Great Thousand World. So it shouldn't be easy to encounter him.
Thinking about it, Mu Chen felt relieved. Yan Emperor had taken care of him, so even if he sensed the crystal pagoda in his body, he wouldn't purposely reveal it.
While Mu Chen was pondering, Yan Emperor had retracted his gaze with a smear of shock in his eyes.
"That pagoda seems to be something unique to the Ancient Buddha Clan." Yan Emperor pondered before he gently smiled and muttered in his heart, "Looks like this little friend Mu Chen has an interesting background."
To refine this pagoda, one had to possess the bloodline of the Ancient Buddha Clan. But there wasn't anyone from the Ancient Buddha Clan beside Mu Chen. Furthermore, he seemed to be hiding the pagoda on purpose.
This method was quite thought-provoking.
With a smile, Yan Emperor suppressed this matter. Since Mu Chen was hiding it on purpose, then he must have his reasons. Since that's the case, he naturally wouldn't expose it.
"But that pagoda doesn't seem ordinary." Yan Emperor had interacted with the Ancient Buddha Clan in the past, but he rarely saw a pagoda that was filled with a sacred aura. Evidently, the quality of that pagoda was extraordinary.
"It's only been a month, and you've already made such an improvement. Pretty good." Yan Emperor smiled. It looked like his eyesight was pretty good.
"Yan Emperor, what do you think of my West Heaven Continent?" The West Heaven Battle Emperor smiled towards Yan Emperor.
The Flame Emperor glanced at the white jade plaza. The crowd was indeed luxurious. He nodded his head and said, "The West Heaven Continent is filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons."
The West Heaven Battle Emperor chuckled before he sighed, "Compared to the Endless Fire Territory, it's far inferior."
His words were sincere. Although he was prideful, he wasn't arrogant. The prestige and strength of the Endless Fire Territory in the Great Thousand World wasn't something that his West Heaven Temple could be compared to.
"Battle Emperor, you're too modest." Yan Emperor could only comfort the West Heaven Temple with a smile.
The West Heaven Battle Emperor did not continue to look for trouble. He glanced at the plaza before sweeping his gaze at Mu Chen and Luo Li's silhouettes and waved his hand.
Rustle!
Four streaks of light descended before the West Heaven Battle Emperor and the four of them knelt on the ground. "We pay our respects to the Temple Master!"
The appearance of the four silhouettes immediately attracted everyone's attention. If most of the people were fearful of Liu Xingchen, Su Mu, and Chu Men, then this time, fear flashed across many people's eyes.
Those four silhouettes were the Four Holy Children of the West Heaven Temple.
They were also the hottest contenders for the Seed of the Continent.
"They're the other three Holy Children?"
At this moment, Mu Chen's expression was grave as he looked at the three figures. He could vaguely sense a dangerous aura coming from the three of them.
"You have to be careful of those three." Luo Li warned in a soft voice as a grave expression appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Mu Chen nodded his head. Since the three of them could become the hottest contenders, then they must be extremely capable, which could be seen from the fear in everyone's eyes.
While Mu Chen was looking at the three Holy Children, Liu Xingchen, Su Mu, and Chu Men also had fear in their eyes. Shortly after, they exchanged a look with an indescribable flash in their eyes before they calmed down.
"Haha, what does Yan Emperor think of the four of them?" The West Heaven Battle Emperor glanced at the four Holy Children and smiled with his eyes narrowed.
Yan Emperor swept a glance at the four of them before his gaze briefly paused on Ling Zhanzi. "The Battle Emperor has taught them well. The four of them are extraordinary.
The West Heaven Battle Emperor nonchalantly looked at Mu Chen and said, "Then, does Yan Emperor think that they have a chance of winning in the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield?"
Yan Emperor couldn't help smiling. He naturally knew the Battle Emperor's intention, so he casually said, "The chance isn't small, but nothing is absolute. Sometimes, there will be unexpected accidents."
The West Heaven Battle Emperor's gaze flickered. How could he not tell that Yan Emperor still had some confidence in Mu Chen? Thus, he chuckled towards the three Holy Children. "Since Yan Emperor thinks that there will be an accident, then you guys have to pay more attention. Don't fail miserably."
"Yes!"
The gazes of Ling Zhanzi, Ling Jianzi, and Ling Longzi flickered. They naturally disagreed with Yan Emperor's words, but facing such a figure, they naturally did not dare to show it and respectfully acknowledged.
The West Heaven Battle Emperor nodded his head before looking at the plaza and his faint voice resounded, "It's about time. Since that's the case, then let's start the battlefield."
As soon as he finished speaking, the West Heaven Battle Emperor suddenly waved his sleeve and countless specks of light shot out, landing before everyone on the plaza.
There was also a light dot that descended before Mu Chen, forming into a Battle Seal that was engraved with the image of a powerful army. Spiritual light surged on the Battle Seal, vaguely emitting a unique fluctuation.
"Every participant will possess a Battle Seal, and it will be your trump card. If the Battle Seal is seized, then you will naturally fail and the loser will be sent out of the battlefield."
"In the end, the one with the most Battle Seals will become the Seed of the Continent of my West Heaven Continent."
The West Heaven Battle Emperor looked at everyone with interest and continued, "Furthermore, to boost everyone's fighting spirit, this Emperor will give all of you some benefits. When you enter the battlefield, pour your Spiritual Energy into the Battle Seal and you will be able to view the Battle Emperor's Treasury. There are many Saint Artifacts, Divine Abilities, and Spiritual Arrays that you can exchange for."
When the West Heaven Battle Emperor spoke, his words instantly caused everyone's eyes to flicker with greed.
Battle Emperor's Treasury?
Needless to say, there must be countless treasures in there, and if they could exchange for even one, then this trip wouldn't be in vain.
"If you want to exchange for treasures, the only currency in the battlefield is the Battle Seal. So if anyone has this thought, then try your best to seize other Battle Seals."
"Furthermore, to make it easier for you to lock onto your target, as long as someone possesses more than two Battle Seals, their location will also appear on the Battle Seal."
As he spoke, a ridiculing smile rose on the West Heaven Battle Emperor's face. With this motivation, this Seed of the Continent competition would definitely be more intense and exciting than anyone had imagined.
The greed in everyone's hearts had been aroused by the Battle Emperor and their eyes flickered as they looked at others with ill gazes.
"This West Heaven Battle Emperor is truly seeking to see the world in chaos."
When Mu Chen heard those words, he helplessly sighed. A Heavenly Sovereign was truly high and mighty. A casual order from them could cause so many people to fight for it.
But the Battle Emperor's Treasury was truly tempting.
After the West Heaven Battle Emperor threw out such a huge bait, he disregarded the boiling atmosphere and raised his hand. Space violently distorted in the sky and formed into three massive vortexes.
"Perfected Earth Sovereigns, enter."
When the West Heaven Battle Emperor finished speaking, eight boundless Spiritual Energies burst out before the plaza and eight silhouettes soared into the sky and instantly charged into one of the spatial vortexes.
"There's actually only eight people competing in the Perfected Earth Sovereign Battlefield?" Everyone looked at this scene with envy in their eyes. One must know that the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield had more than two hundred people, and the Lesser Earth Sovereign Battlefield had even more than that.
But everyone knew that there was nothing they could do about it, since there were only a few Perfected Earth Sovereigns in the West Heaven Temple, even with the West Heaven Battle Emperor presiding over it.
"Greater Earth Sovereigns!"
When the battlefield of the Perfected Earth Sovereigns opened, a few hundred silhouettes soared into the spatial vortex in the next moment.
"I'll go first." Mu Chen smiled towards Luo Li.
"Good luck and be careful." Luo Li nodded her head as she gave a charming smile to Mu Chen.
Luo Li nodded her head. Without further ado, her figure moved and turned into a streak of light as she followed the group into the vortex.
As the Greater Earth Sovereigns entered the battlefield, Luo Li and the other Lesser Earth Sovereigns also swiftly moved out and entered the spatial vortexes under everyone's heated gazes.
After the final person disappeared into the spatial vortex, an earth-shattering uproar resounded outside the square as countless people raised their heads in anticipation.
Luo Tianshen stood amongst the crowd as he looked at the disappearing spatial vortexes and deeply inhaled a mouthful of air with dense expectation on his face.
The battle for the Seed of the Continent in the West Heaven Continent had finally begun.
(To be continued.)
