A month after the Seed of the Continent contest ended, the heat didn't die down at all. Instead, it continued to ferment and even spread out of the West Heaven Continent to the Great Thousand World.
The Seed of the Continent was a resounding title in the Great Thousand World. Every single Seed of the Continent was a genius that possessed the potential to reach the Heavenly Sovereign Realm …
Although there weren't many that could succeed in the end.
Regardless of anything, obtaining the title of Seed of the Continent was a symbol of strength and potential. No one could be sure who the next Heavenly Sovereign of the Great Thousand World would be …
It was precisely because of this that any news regarding the Seed of the Continent would attract attention in the Great Thousand World, even if the West Heaven Continent wasn't too resounding in the Great Thousand World.
This time, when the West Heaven Continent's Seed of the Continent was announced, it had attracted the attention of many supreme forces. However, they didn't have any good intentions. Most of them were considering if they could poach the West Heaven Continent's Seed of the Continent. After all, every single Seed of the Continent had the potential to reach the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. If they could rope them in and make a breakthrough in the future, it would undoubtedly be beneficial to their forces.
When the supreme forces received the news of the Seed of the Continent of the West Heaven Continent, it had caused quite a commotion.
That's because they realised that one of the three actually had the strength of a Lesser Earth Sovereign and dominated the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield!
"Who is this Mu Chen?
He actually obtained the quota of the Seed of the Continent in the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield with his cultivation in the Lesser Earth Sovereign Realm? "
"Is that Greater Earth Sovereign of the West Heaven Continent that weak?!"
"Looks like this Mu Chen isn't simple. It's said that he has some relationship with Yan Emperor. Could he be the disciple of Yan Emperor?"
"… …"
When the supreme forces of the Great Thousand World were shocked by Mu Chen's achievements, similar guesses started to appear.
"That Seed of the Continent in the Lesser Earth Sovereign Battlefield isn't simple either!
He actually cultivated the Luo Shen Celestial Body! "
"What a beautiful lass. Is this the most beautiful Sovereign Celestial Body in the Great Thousand World that was cultivated by Luo Shen in the ancient times, the Luo Shen Celestial Body that was ranked 11th on the Sovereign Celestial Body Ranking?!"
"This lass's potential is limitless. She might even be able to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm in the future!"
"…"
After Mu Chen, Luo Li had also attracted a lot of attention. After all, the Luo Shen Celestial Body was too dazzling, and its beauty could intoxicate others.
Furthermore, the talent that Luo Li had displayed was also breathtaking. Vaguely, they could see the Bella of the Great Thousand World that made many Heavenly Sovereigns fall head over heels for her.
Compared to Mu Chen and Luo Li, Senior Winter didn't receive much attention. That's because they knew that the latter was personally nurtured by the West Heaven Battle Emperor, so he was naturally loyal. So it wouldn't be easy to poach him, so there's no need to pay too much attention to him.
Regardless of anything, the news of the three Seeds of the Continent in the West Heaven Continent had caused a commotion in the Great Thousand World. At the same time, it had also attracted some attention.

Somewhere in the Great Thousand World
In a bustling city, an old man in cloth clothes was holding a walking stick with a red gourd hanging on his waist. He was slowly walking on the crowded street. His body seemed to be hunched, but no matter how the crowd charged at him, they could not touch his body. That feeling was as though he was in a different space from the people beside him.
Suddenly, the old man stopped and raised his cloudy eyes to look at the side of the street. There was a Spiritual Energy screen there, and an intense battle was taking place on the screen.
In the eyes of the old man, a battle of that level was a little immature. However, when his eyes focused on the light screen, a bright light suddenly shot out from his turbid eyes.
He stared at the peerlessly beautiful figure on the light screen. After a long while, he grinned and took the gourd from his waist. He took a big gulp and said with a smile, "The heavens do not disappoint those who work hard. What a good seedling, what a good seedling …"
As his voice faded, he suddenly turned around and left. His elderly figure merely turned around and disappeared into thin air.
…
In the Myriad Island Continent of the Great Thousand World
This was a rather unique continent because it was formed from countless islands. However, even though they were islands, the area of those islands was extremely vast. The largest among them was actually not the slightest bit inferior to some of the smaller continents.
In the centre of the Myriad Island Continent, there was a huge island that was covered in a bamboo forest. Clouds and mist shrouded the island, gathering boundless Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth. Clearly, it was a precious cultivation ground.
If one were to take a closer look, they would realise that the bamboo forest on the island was like emerald jade, emitting a faint lustre and a fragrance. Just by smelling that fragrance, it could calm one's heart. The Spiritual Energy in one's body had also become more agile.
The name of this green bamboo was the Spiritual Jade Bamboo. It could be made into Spiritual Jade Incense. If one were to ignite it during cultivation, not only could it increase the efficiency of cultivation, it could also prevent one's Spiritual Energy from going berserk.
To many cultivators, this was a rare treasure. It was said that a single stick of Spiritual Jade Incense could be sold for nearly ten thousand drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. And right now, this island was filled with Spiritual Jade Bamboos. If they were to be exchanged for Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, it would be worth at least one billion …
Even some top-tiered forces wouldn't be able to fork out such a terrifying value.
Generally speaking, this sort of treasure land would definitely attract the greed of countless people, especially in the Myriad Island Continent. All sorts of ambitious and ruthless people were extremely domineering. But even those forces with Perfected Earth Sovereigns wouldn't dare to lay their eyes on this Spiritual Jade Island.
That's because this Jade Bamboo Island belonged to one of the Five Ancient Clans of the Great Thousand World, the Ancient Buddha Clan!
The Ancient Buddha Clan was one of the most ancient clans in the Great Thousand World, with an unfathomable foundation. It was so much so that even those supreme forces with Heavenly Sovereigns would be fearful when facing this Ancient Clan.
Thus, bearing the name of the Ancient Buddha Clan, this Spiritual Jade Island was practically the safest place in the Myriad Island Continent. Any force that came here would be courteous and courteous, not daring to show any enmity.
That's because they knew that although they've been doing well in the Myriad Island Continent, they're nothing in the eyes of a colossus like the Ancient Buddha Clan. If they were to be angered, the Ancient Buddha Clan might send out a Heavenly Sovereign, and all of them and the forces that they've established would instantly disappear.
…
Whoosh!
A spiritual light suddenly descended from the sky above the Spiritual Jade Island. It passed through the array that enveloped the Spiritual Jade Island and landed at the center of the island. There was a mountain that stood towering at the center of the island. The mountain was covered in a lush green that looked extremely alluring.
On the mountain, there were numerous ancient stone pagodas that were vaguely visible in the bamboo forest. That silhouette had landed outside the deepest stone pagoda.
Beneath the stone pagoda, there was a grey-robed old man quietly seated. The Spiritual Energy around him was faintly discernible, but vaguely, there was a boundless and unfathomable feeling emanating from him that made others feel unfathomable.
That silhouette landed before the old man and knelt on one knee. However, the old man did not move. He did not even open his eyes, but a faint voice resounded from his abdomen.
"Didn't I say not to disturb this old man's cultivation no matter what?"
When the man that landed before the old man heard those words, his body trembled before he immediately replied, "Lord, we've discovered the sinner's son that's wanted by the Ancient Buddha Clan."
Boom!
An astonishing Spiritual Energy abruptly exploded from the old man's body as he abruptly opened his tightly shut eyes. Wind and lightning seemed to gather in his eyes as he looked at the man before him with an incomparably dignified gaze. "The sinful child on the bounty?
The person that the Grand Elder mentioned? "
"It should be!"
The man swiftly nodded his head and did not dare to delay. He waved his hand and a spiritual jade flew out, emitting a lustre that formed into a screen of Spiritual Energy before him.
An intense battle was taking place on the screen, it was naturally the battle between Mu Chen and Ling Zhanzi.
When Mu Chen brought out the crystallised pagoda, the eyes of the grey-robed old man flickered and his face twitched. A brief moment later, he took a deep breath and exclaimed in shock, "That … is actually the Divine Pagoda?!"
It wasn't surprising for him to be shocked, since the Divine Pagoda was extremely rare, even in the Ancient Buddha Clan. Only the most outstanding clansmen could cultivate it.
Amongst the younger generations of the Ancient Buddha Clan, there was only one person that managed to cultivate the Divine Pagoda, and it was a genius that only appeared once in a thousand years in the Ancient Buddha Clan. It was said that many Elders in the clan were inclined to nurture him as the next Patriarch of the Ancient Buddha Clan.
But this young man that had also managed to cultivate the Divine Pagoda wasn't the same person as that genius in their clan!
"This brat is so unfamiliar, and he's definitely not someone from our clan. But since he can cultivate the Divine Pagoda, that means that he has the bloodline of our clan. If that's the case, then he should be the sinner that the Grand Elder mentioned …"
The old man squinted his eyes with his gaze flickering. There were all sorts of factions in the Ancient Buddha Clan, and he belonged to the faction of that genius. They were all pushing for the latter to become the next Patriarch of the Ancient Buddha Clan, and if they succeeded, they would be able to control many authority in the Ancient Buddha Clan.
But this fellow that suddenly appeared had also managed to cultivate the Divine Pagoda. Although he was only a sinner without any status, they clearly didn't want to see any changes in the clan.
Thinking about it, a ferocious light flashed in the old man's eyes and the temperature in this region suddenly dropped. He waved his hand and a cold voice resounded.
"Invite Protector Long Xiang over …"
