"The strongest force in the Great Thousand World?"
Hearing Celestial Chi Yan's words, the hearts of Mu Chen, Luo Li, and the rest trembled as they exchanged a look. They've never heard of this force before. Could it be that it's even stronger than the Five Ancient Clans and those supreme forces in the Great Thousand World?
"I wonder who the Palace Master of the Great Thousand Palace is?"
Mu Chen couldn't help asking. To be able to establish such a terrifying force, the Palace Master must be a pinnacle existence in the Great Thousand World, right?
"There's no Palace Master in the Great Thousand Palace right now, but there was one in ancient times, the strongest powerhouse in ancient times, the Immortal Emperor." Celestial Chi Yan shook his head.
"The Immortal Emperor?!"
Hearing that name, Mu Chen's eyes squinted. He already knew from the Heavenly Emperor that the Immortal Emperor was the previous cultivator of the Primordial Immortal Body.
But he never expected that the Immortal Emperor would establish such a powerful force like the Great Thousand Palace.
"But why haven't we heard of the strongest force in the Great Thousand World?" Ling Xi felt that something was amiss as she asked.
Celestial Chi Yan chuckled, "That's because this force will only exist when the Fiend Clans invade. In times of peace, the Great Thousand Palace is just a symbol."
Mu Chen's group of four instantly understood. So the Great Thousand Palace was established to resist the Fiend Clans. But why would it become the strongest force in the Great Thousand World?
"According to the rules passed down from ancient times, most Heavenly Sovereigns in the Great Thousand World will have their names recorded in the Great Thousand Palace. Furthermore, they will pass the examination to become the Guest of the Great Thousand Palace."
"As for those Heavenly Sovereigns that have stepped into the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm, they will become the Elders of the Great Thousand Palace. But as long as the Great Thousand World isn't facing any danger, they won't have to do anything for the Great Thousand Palace."
"Do you think that the Great Thousand Palace can be considered the strongest force in the Great Thousand World with such a formation?" Celestial Chi Yan looked at the four of them with ridicule.
The corner of Mu Chen's lips twitched. So this was how the number one force came about. But if he thought about it, he could sense how terrifying the Great Thousand Palace was. That's because the Great Thousand Palace was like an alliance of the Great Thousand World. When the Great Thousand World faced a crisis, they would gather all the forces in the Great Thousand World together to fight against the enemies.
At any time, a united force would always be the strongest.
Facing the threat of the Fiend Clans, the Great Thousand World had to gather all their forces to confront them. Judging from this, the Immortal Emperor that founded the Great Thousand Palace was truly far-sighted.
"Although the Great Thousand Palace is only a symbol, don't belittle it. The strength it possesses still exceeds your imagination. It's just that it won't reveal itself."
"Furthermore, the Great Thousand Palace has a transcendent position in the Great Thousand World. Even the Five Ancient Clans are extremely courteous to it. Sometimes, a Guest of the Great Thousand Palace is even more respected than an Elder of the Five Ancient Clans."
Speaking of Guest, Celestial Chi Yan was prideful. Evidently, he should also be a Guest of the Great Thousand Palace.
As he spoke, Celestial Chi Yan glanced at Mu Chen. "If you're also a Guest of the Great Thousand Palace, I believe that even the Ancient Buddha Clan won't be able to be arrogant towards you."
Mu Chen helplessly shook his head. A Guest of the Great Thousand Palace meant that he had to be a Heavenly Sovereign. If he possessed the strength of a Heavenly Sovereign, then why would he be so fearful of the Ancient Buddha Clan?
Celestial Chi Yan seemed to know what Mu Chen was thinking in his heart, so he smiled. "Becoming a Guest of the Great Thousand Palace doesn't mean that you have to be a Heavenly Sovereign."
"Oh?"
Mu Chen was a little surprised. Was there another way?
The Great Thousand Palace had a transcendent position in the Great Thousand World, and if he could become a Guest without any restrictions, then it would naturally be beneficial.
Celestial Chi Yan pointed at the Demon Slayer Board.
Mu Chen looked over. He was previously shocked by the Great Thousand Palace, but when he looked at it again, he could see that the stone tablet was flickering with spiritual light and formed into many names.
The most eye-catching one was at the top of the list. There was a purplish-golden name that emanated an eerie chill under the sunlight.
Demon Slayer King, Qin Tian.
That name was akin to a king that stood at the top of the Demon Slayer Board. Everyone in the city looked at that name with revere in their eyes.
Beneath the Demon Slayer King, Qin Tian, there were countless words flickering with light, and if one took a closer look, they could see many names.
High Rank Demon Slayer Master, Liu Difeng.
High Rank Demon Slayer Master, Lu Shan.
Mid Rank Demon Slayer Master, Lu Lingyu.
Low Rank Demon Slayer Master, Lu Shu.
Densely packed names were engraved on the Demon Slayer Tablet. As the spiritual light flickered, more names would appear, and the ranks before their names seemed to be jumping.
Mu Chen looked at the Demon Slayer Tablet for a long time before he saw Celestial Chi Yan, but he didn't seem to understand its usage.
"Anyone that comes to the Sacred Abyss Continent will be able to obtain a Demon Slayer Token from the Great Thousand Palace. Killing a Fiend Clan will grant you a certain amount of Demon Slayer Points, which can be used to exchange for treasures in the Great Thousand Palace. It's so much so that as long as you have enough Demon Slayer Points, you can even obtain a Peerless Divine Ability or a Sovereign Celestial Body ranked in the top 20!"
"I can even obtain a Peerless Divine Ability?"
Mu Chen couldn't help being shocked. He naturally knew that such a Peerless Divine Ability couldn't be one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities. But even an ordinary Peerless Divine Ability wasn't ordinary, and most Heavenly Sovereigns might not possess one.
So how could he not be shocked that he could exchange Demon Slayer Points in the Great Thousand Palace?
Furthermore, a Sovereign Celestial Body ranked in the top 20 was even more unbelievable. After all, such a Sovereign Celestial Body was too rare.
"According to the rules of the Great Thousand Palace, as long as you have 1,000 Demon Slayer Points, you can rise from a Low Rank Demon Slayer to a Mid Rank Demon Slayer. 3,000 Demon Slayer Points is a High Rank Demon Slayer, and even if you're not a Heavenly Sovereign, the Great Thousand Palace will make an exception and bestow you with the title of Guest."
Hearing those words, Mu Chen finally understood what Celestial Chi Yan meant. As long as he had sufficient Demon Slayer Points, he could still become a Guest of the Great Thousand Palace.
But it looked like 3,000 Demon Slayer Points wasn't easy to obtain. That's because Mu Chen had seen that there weren't more than 20 High Rank Demon Slayer Masters on the stone tablet.
"According to the rules, killing a Lesser Earth Sovereign is equivalent to 50 Demon Slayer Points, a Greater Earth Sovereign is equivalent to 100 Demon Slayer Points, a Perfected Earth Sovereign is equivalent to 200 Demon Slayer Points, a Monarch is equivalent to 3,000 Demon Slayer Points, an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign is equivalent to 5,000 Demon Slayer Points, and killing a Sky Monarch is equivalent to 10,000 Demon Slayer Points."
Hearing Celestial Chi Yan's words, Mu Chen's group of four was dumbfounded. They knew that it wasn't easy to obtain Demon Slayer Points, but they never expected that it would be so difficult.
According to that calculation, he would have to kill twenty Lesser Earth Sovereigns or ten Greater Earth Sovereigns to advance from a Low Rank Demon Slayer to a Middle Rank Demon Slayer.
As for reaching the High Rank Demon Slayer Realm, they would have to kill 15 Perfected Earth Sovereigns.
But Xeno-race experts of this level weren't pigs or dogs that didn't possess the strength to resist, so how could they be easily killed?
Thus, one could tell how difficult it was to raise a Demon Slayer Realm. It was no wonder why there were only 20 High Rank Demon Slayers on the stone tablet. No one knew how long it took for them to reach such a height.
Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Mu Chen asked, "Then, how many Demon Slayer Points do I need to reach the Demon Slayer King Realm?"
"Demon Slayer King …" Celestial Chi Yan sighed, "Actually, it's simple. It's just 10,000 Demon Slayer Points to kill a Sky Monarch."
Mu Chen's group of four felt their scalps going numb. Killing a Sky Monarch was enough?
That's easy for you to say. Those existences could be considered as pinnacle powerhouses, and losing one of them would be a considerable blow to both the Great Thousand World and the Fiend Clans.
"Could it be that Senior Qin Tian killed a Sky Monarch?" Luo Li couldn't help asking.
"Qin Tian!"
When Celestial Chi Yan spoke of this name, his face was filled with admiration. "Many years ago, Qin Tian was also as young as you guys. He brought a team to the Sacred Abyss Continent to train himself, but he encountered the experts of the Fiend Clans, causing his team to be annihilated. His teammates died, and only he managed to escape."
"After that, that fellow stayed in the Sacred Abyss Continent for two hundred years. As long as there's news of the Fiend Clans, he would charge over like a madman!"
"In those two hundred years, he broke through to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm and was unfortunately sent to the territory of the Fiend Clans by the spatial storm. Just when everyone thought that he wouldn't be able to return, that fellow forced his way back and even brought back the corpse of a Monarch!"
"After that, he became the first Demon Slayer King in the Great Thousand Palace since ancient times, and no one can surpass him."
When Celestial Chi Yan's voice resounded, Mu Chen's group of four was dumbfounded. After a long while, they couldn't help exchanging a glance and saw a smear of shock in each other's eyes.
Such achievements.
That Demon Slayer King was truly a ferocious person!
