When Dong Shan's party retreated, the powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations on Wen Qingxuan's party had also gradually calmed down. They initially thought that there would be a huge battle today, but they never expected that Mu Chen's party would arrive in time and scare Dong Shan away.
"Are you guys alright?"
Mu Chen turned his head and looked at Wen Qingxuan's party with a smile.
Wen Ziyu smiled as he cupped his fists. "Thank you, Brother Mu. Otherwise, there would be an intense battle today."
"Hmph, if we really fought, I'm afraid that they would be the ones suffering." Wen Qingxuan snorted with a cold light flickering in her eyes. She was clearly still brooding over Dong Shan.
Mu Chen was a little startled, since he could tell that Wen Qingxuan wasn't trying to show off. There were only six of them in their party, and the strongest should be Wen Ziyu, who was a Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign. But even so, they were still lacking if they wanted to confront Dong Shan, who was a Perfected Earth Sovereign.
Judging from this, Wen Qingxuan's party must have some trump cards as well.
Seeing Mu Chen's astonishment, Wen Qingxuan placed her hands on her waist and pridefully said, "Don't belittle us. If we didn't have any means, how would we dare to come to the Primordial Sacred Abyss?"
"But you, don't tell me that you're planning to rely on Big Sister Ling Xi and Long Xiang to protect you?" Wen Qingxuan turned her head and looked at Mu Chen with a teasing gaze.
Although Mu Chen's cultivation was at the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm, which was pretty good from a certain angle, a Greater Earth Sovereign was only the standard for the team heading to the Primordial Sacred Abyss. Only Perfected Earth Sovereigns could be a deterrent.
Amongst the four of Mu Chen's party of four, only Ling Xi possessed that ability. So even Wen Qingxuan couldn't help feeling that Ling Xi was the greatest source of confidence in this party.
Mu Chen smiled as he rolled his eyes at her. However, he did not say anything else. Instead, he changed the topic back. "You guys have been targeted?"
Not only did the Demon Slayers obstruct Wen Qingxuan's party, they even set up an ambush. Evidently, they were targeting the Wen Clan.
The smile on Wen Qingxuan's face retracted and her gaze turned cold. "If I have guessed correctly, they must have been instructed by the Wu Clan of the North."
"Wu Clan of the North?"
Luo Li squinted her eyes as she continued, "That's also a supreme force that isn't any weaker than the Wen Clan. They're also pretty famous in the Great Thousand World."
Wen Qingxuan nodded her head. "Initially, our Wen Clan had paid a considerable price to obtain the information about the Heavenly Sovereign Legacy. But the Wu Clan had interfered in the dark, so the information was stolen by them."
"Only our two clans know about this information, so how could Dong Shan and his party know about it? Furthermore, they even obstructed us in this region. The Wu Clan must be behind this."
Wen Ziyu nodded his head as well. "Furthermore, without the support of the Wu Clan, how would Dong Shan dare to be so fearless?"
"Right now, the Wu Clan's party is probably rushing towards the Heavenly Sovereign Legacy."
Nodding his head, Mu Chen asked, "Can you tell us about the Heavenly Sovereign Legacy?"
The value of the Heavenly Sovereign Legacy was self-evident. Without Wen Qingxuan's information, it would be extremely troublesome for Mu Chen's party to find it. Although he had helped Wen Qingxuan's party out of trouble, Mu Chen wasn't someone that would use this sort of method to speak. Thus, his tone was filled with a tone of discussion.
He needed detailed information to assess the risk.
Wen Qingxuan did not have any intention to hide it and generously said, "You guys are now our partners, so we will naturally tell you everything that we know."
"The Heavenly Sovereign Legacy should be left behind by a Heavenly Sovereign known as the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy in ancient times."
"The Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy?" Mu Chen, Luo Li, and the rest exchanged a glance.
"Yeah, this Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy is famous for her skills in alchemy. It's said that although she's only a Spirit Heavenly Sovereign, the pellets that she can refine are highly praised by even Saint Heavenly Sovereigns."
"There are many Divine Pills left in that remnant. Those Divine Pills are extremely valuable. Every single one of them would cause many super experts to drool over them."
"Just like the Holy Spirit Pellet, it's rumored that it can allow Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereigns to take that step into the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm. Wen Ziyu's objective this time is to obtain a Holy Spirit Pellet."
Wen Qingxuan pointed at Wen Ziyu, who was beside her. When she mentioned the Holy Spirit Pellet, the latter couldn't conceal the desire on his face.
Naturally, he wasn't the only one. On Mu Chen's side, Long Xiang had also gulped down a mouthful of saliva. He was also a Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign, so the Holy Spirit Pellet was extremely attractive to him.
It could save them several years or even more of bitter cultivation.
"Naturally, the Holy Spirit Pellet isn't the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy's proudest work. It's rumored that the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy's proudest work is a divine pellet known as the Ascension Pellet. This pellet seems to be able to raise a Divine Ability by a level, and even ordinary Peerless Divine Abilities can be raised."
Mu Chen squinted his eyes. Although the effect of the Ascension Pellet sounded ordinary, only he knew how difficult it was to raise a Peerless Divine Ability. Just like the Immortal Golden Body that he had cultivated, it was a Sovereign Celestial Body that had three Sovereign Abilities.
Divine Immortal Runes, Immortal Lotus, and Immortal Life-Death Transformation.
But even after cultivating for so long, Mu Chen was only at the first level. As for the second level, the Immortal Lotus, he still hadn't managed to unlock it.
If he could obtain a Ascension Pellet, wouldn't that mean that he could unlock the second Sovereign Ability of the Immortal Golden Body?
Thinking about it, even Mu Chen felt his heart blazing.
"Aside from that, there are also many divine pellets left behind by the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy in the Heavenly Sovereign Legacy. It's a terrifying resource that even our Wen Clan is tempted by." Wen Qingxuan added.
Mu Chen nodded his head. Something left behind by a Heavenly Sovereign that was proficient in alchemy could naturally be considered a treasure. If he could obtain it, even a supreme force like the Wen Clan would benefit.
"It's no wonder why the Wu Clan is trying to obstruct you guys. Facing such benefits, what's the use of such means?"
Luo Li sighed. If they could obtain the Heavenly Sovereign Legacy, the Wu Clan's strength would soar. At that time, they wouldn't have to worry about offending the Wen Clan.
Wen Qingxuan nodded her head as she looked at Mu Chen's group of four. "If we can succeed in this cooperation, we will split the pellets in the Heavenly Sovereign Legacy 50-50."
When she spoke, everyone was startled.
Even the few experts from the Wen Clan beside Wen Qingxuan exchanged glances with each other. Clearly, this ratio had exceeded their expectations. After all, their Wen Clan had paid quite a hefty price in order to obtain this information.
Furthermore, putting it bluntly, if they were to look for collaborators with such a ratio, there would be plenty of teams that were stronger than Mu Chen's team that would fight to receive them.
However, just when they wanted to speak, they were stopped by Wen Qingxuan's stern gaze as she calmly said, "Right now, the Heavenly Sovereign Legacy isn't ours, so don't treat it as something that belongs to us. Right now, the Wu Clan is clearly determined to obtain the Heavenly Sovereign Legacy. Right now, we're already behind, and with just us, we might not be able to obtain anything."
"Furthermore …"
She briefly paused as she looked at Mu Chen with a meaningful gaze and smiled. "Out of a woman's intuition, I feel that this fellow might be worth the price."
Although she had previously ridiculed Mu Chen, her intuition told her that the strongest amongst the four of them wasn't Ling Xi, but Mu Chen, who only appeared to be a Greater Earth Sovereign.
Wen Qingxuan clearly had a high status in the Wen Clan, so since she had already spoken, no one had any objections. Wen Ziyu also smiled towards Mu Chen. "Since that's the case, then it will depend on Brother Mu if we can return with a fruitful harvest."
Mu Chen replied with a smile, before turning his gaze towards Wen Qingxuan. After pondering for a brief moment, he slowly said, "Although we're currently at an advantage in this ratio, I believe that you guys will be worth it."
His voice was exceptionally gentle and calm. However, there was a certain confidence in his smile. For some unknown reason, it made the experts from the Wen Clan feel a little more at ease.
Perhaps this youth before them might really exceed their imagination.
Wen Qingxuan took a deep glance at Mu Chen. The latter's confident appearance was exactly the same as back then during the Great Battle of the Five Spiritual Academies. At that time, no matter how many powerful enemies he faced, he was still filled with confidence in himself. Not only was that confidence able to strengthen himself, it was also able to infect others.
Even after so many years, Mu Chen's confidence was still preserved in his heart.
In this world, only those that were filled with confidence and wouldn't be defeated by any obstacles could be qualified to climb to the peak.
Wen Qingxuan smiled sweetly. That instant of radiance and charm was actually able to compete with Luo Li, who was beside her.
She extended her slender, lily-white hand and said with a smile, "Then, I wish us a happy cooperation this time."
With a smile, Mu Chen extended his hand and held onto that warm and soft little hand, giving it a light squeeze.
"Cooperation will definitely succeed."
