"Qin Tian is now the Head Elder of the Great Thousand Palace. Before the next Palace Master of the Great Thousand Palace is appointed, the affairs of the Great Thousand Palace will be managed by him and the other Elders. Perhaps his fame might not be as resounding as Yan Emperor or Wu Zu in the Great Thousand World, but his fame isn't any weaker than them in the circle of Heavenly Sovereigns."
While Mu Chen and Luo Li were shocked by the achievements of the Demon Slayer King, Celestial Chi Yan stroked his beard and sighed. Even Mu Chen and the rest could hear the admiration in his voice.
Mu Chen lightly nodded his head. Although he had not seen the Demon Slayer King, since he could obtain such a high evaluation in the circle of Heavenly Sovereigns, then his strength must be terrifying. It was so much so that there's a high possibility that he's on the same level as the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor.
The Great Thousand World was truly filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
"Senior Chi Yan, where can I obtain the Demon Slayer Token?"
Mu Chen asked. Evidently, the benefits of the Demon Slayer Token had tempted him. Not to mention the title of a Guest of the Great Thousand Palace, just the fact that he could exchange Demon Slayer Points for a Peerless Divine Ability was enough to make him drool.
After all, even with his current wealth, aside from the Three Pures, one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities, he did not have any other Peerless Divine Abilities. If he could obtain one from the Great Thousand Palace, then it would undoubtedly be a great boost for him.
Seeing that Mu Chen's party was interested, Celestial Chi Yan lightly smiled before he turned around and walked towards the centre of the city. When Mu Chen and the rest saw his actions, they immediately followed up.
The group quickly shuttled through the city. After nearly half an hour, Celestial Chi Yan's footsteps slowly came to a stop.
At this moment, Mu Chen and the rest realised that they had already arrived before the massive Demon Slayer Plaque. Beneath the Demon Slayer Plaque, there was a black pavilion that emitted a heavy pressure that made everyone retract their expressions.
"This is the Great Thousand Pavilion, one of the branches of the Great Thousand Palace. It's also used to guard the Sacred Abyss Continent and monitor the movements of the Fiend Clans." Celestial Chi Yan said as he pointed at the black pavilion.
After Celestial Chi Yan spoke, he walked towards the Great Thousand Pavilion with Mu Chen and the rest following behind him.
The group stepped into the Chiliocosm Pagoda, and their field of vision widened. The first level of the pagoda was extremely large, with crystal lamps floating in the air, shining brightly and illuminating the entire pagoda.
In an extremely spacious corner of the massive pavilion that seemed to be a restaurant, there were people coming and going. When Mu Chen looked over, his eyes slightly narrowed.
He could sense that most of the people in this region were emanating powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations. Furthermore, there was a baleful aura flowing within those fluctuations. Evidently, they were all ruthless people that had experienced life-and-death battles.
The entrance of Mu Chen's group had undoubtedly attracted the attention of quite a few people in this region. However, the majority of their gazes were filled with astonishment as they rested on Luo Li.
After all, with Luo Li's appearance and bearing, she would be the focus of attention no matter where she went, not to mention in this region that had experienced life-and-death battles. But compared to the ordinary gazes, these people's gazes were unbridled.
Sensing those gazes, Luo Li slightly knitted her brows.
But before she could say anything, Mu Chen's figure stood before her, blocking all the gazes. At the same time, he stared at that region without any expression. As his black pupils flickered, a ferocious baleful aura was abruptly emitted from the centre of his brows, making him look like an Asura at this moment.
Over the years, Mu Chen had also experienced many life-and-death battles. Thus, the baleful aura in his bones was even stronger than those ruthless people in the Sacred Abyss Continent. It's just that he usually kept his killing aura in check. But the moment he revealed his emotions, the baleful aura would make others feel a chill in their hearts.
Those that were initially unhappy with Mu Chen's obstruction felt their hearts trembling when they saw the baleful aura in Mu Chen's eyes. They retracted their gazes and looked at Mu Chen in astonishment. Evidently, they never expected that such a young man would possess such a baleful aura.
"That's the recruitment region. Generally, those that want to hunt the Fiend Clans in the depths of the Sacred Abyss Continent will have to go in groups. Otherwise, the survival rate won't be high if they're alone."
"So those that are waiting to be recruited are mostly capable, and there's no lack of Greater Earth Sovereigns amongst them." Celestial Chi Yan casually explained before he walked into the depths of the pavilion. There was a counter with a Spiritual Energy screen on the wall behind it that was constantly flickering with names appearing from time to time. Evidently, it was synchronized with the Demon Slayer Ranking outside.
A grey-robed old man lazily laid on the counter with drowsy eyes, as if he couldn't stay awake at all times.
Slap!
A palm slammed on the counter and Celestial Chi Yan's roar resounded, "Old Sleepy Ghost, wake up and get to work!"
The grey-robed old man trembled as he opened his eyes with great difficulty and looked at Celestial Chi Yan before him. "Old Drunkard, what are you yelling for? You're not dead yet?"
"Haha, you'll be the one to die first."
Celestial Chi Yan rebuked before waving his hand for Mu Chen and the rest to come over. "Get a Demon Slayer Token for these four brats."
"Look, this is the manager of this branch." At the same time, he introduced the grey-robed old man to Mu Chen and the rest.
When Mu Chen and the rest heard his words, they were startled in their hearts. They never expected that this unremarkable old man would be the manager of this branch. If it wasn't for Celestial Chi Yan's reminder, they might have treated him as an ordinary receptionist.
They curiously looked at the grey-robed old man, but the latter still didn't have any Spiritual Energy fluctuations around him, as if he had never cultivated Spiritual Energy.
But that wasn't possible.
That meant that aside from Heavenly Sovereigns, not even Perfected Earth Sovereigns could restrain their Spiritual Energy to such a degree.
Mu Chen and Luo Li exchanged a look and were inwardly shocked. No wonder Celestial Chi Yan had told them not to treat the Great Thousand Palace as a symbol. So it turned out that the power contained in it was also terrifying.
The grey-robed old man raised his sleepy eyes and glanced at Mu Chen's group of four before turning to Celestial Chi Yan with astonishment. "Old Drunkard, looks like you're here for the Ancient Spirit Channeling Light again. But it seems that the person you've chosen has always been defeated."
Celestial Chi Yan's face instantly turned black. "You're speaking as if the others have succeeded!"
The grey-robed old man grinned. "I'm just curious why you've chosen a Lesser Earth Sovereign lass this time."
He could tell with a glance that Celestial Chi Yan had chosen Luo Li and not Mu Chen's group of three.
Celestial Chi Yan flung his lips aside. "Obtaining the Ancient Spirit Channeling Light doesn't depend on strength, but talent and opportunity. This lass is the most suitable person that I've seen in all these years."
"Really?"
The grey-robed old man was doubtful, but he did not speak any further. He waved his hand and Mu Chen's group of four felt a sharp pain on their fingertips. Four drops of blood flew out from their fingertips and hovered before the grey-robed old man.
The faces of Mu Chen's group couldn't help changing as they looked at the grey-robed old man with fear in their eyes. Evidently, the latter's method of extracting their blood was a little overbearing.
That's because the grey-robed old man had disregarded their Spiritual Energy defences and easily controlled their blood.
"Hehe."
The grey-robed elder grinned towards them and flicked his finger. Four spiritual lights shot out and enveloped the four drops of blood. Thereafter, the spiritual lights solidified and turned into four tokens that flew towards Mu Chen's group.
Mu Chen received it and saw a black token with the words' Demon Slayer 'engraved on it. At the bottom of the token, there were the words' Low Rank Demon Slayer '.
"If you kill someone of the Fiend Clans, you just have to destroy a strand of their soul and pour it into the token to obtain a corresponding Demon Slayer Point. Furthermore, the Demon Slayer Token is refined with your blood essence, and only you guys can find the Demon Slayer Point. So it's useless for others to obtain it." The grey-robed old man said.
Mu Chen's group of four played around with the Demon Slayer Token before cupping their fists towards the grey-robed old man. "Thank you, Senior."
Seeing that Mu Chen's group had obtained the Demon Slayer Token, Celestial Chi Yan turned to the grey-robed old man and asked, "Old Sleeping Ghost, how many forces have come after hearing the news of the Sacred Abyss?"
The grey-robed old man raised his eyelids and chuckled, "Look, isn't there one?
Let me take a look, it seems to be someone from the Northern Domain's Wen Clan. "
Old Immortal Chi Yan turned his head. After which, he saw a group of people suddenly step into the building. A red-clothed, old woman slowly walked over from the leader's position. Her slow manner caused Old Immortal Chi Yan's eyes to slightly harden.
"It's actually the Wen Clan's Matron He!"
Mu Chen, Luo Li and the rest had also raised their heads in curiosity as they looked at the group of people that had an extraordinary bearing. When their gazes passed by the red-clothed old lady, they saw a tall and slender figure that was imprinted in their eyes.
Although it had been a few years since they last saw that silhouette, it was still so familiar to them.
Mu Chen and Luo Li widened their eyes as they exchanged a look. They had a peculiar expression on their faces, since they never expected that they would meet someone familiar here after so many years.
