As the Ancient Buddha Clan's party left, the tense atmosphere in the Great Thousand Pavilion instantly dissipated and many Demon Slayers felt relieved. If those Heavenly Sovereigns really fought here, then they would probably be implicated as well.
The Spiritual Energy around Celestial Chi Yan had also gradually retreated as he turned around and looked at Mu Chen with a peculiar gaze, before chuckling towards Pavilion Master Lu. "I never expected that the Great Thousand Palace would acknowledge his identity. Doesn't that mean that Mu Chen is the weakest Demon Slayer King in the history of the Great Thousand Palace?"
Generally speaking, anyone that could become a Demon Slayer King would possess the strength to confront a Sky Monarch. But Mu Chen was still far from that.
Pavilion Master Lu rolled his eyes at Celestial Chi Yan before looking at Mu Chen. "Follow me."
Judging from his actions, he clearly had something to tell Mu Chen.
Nodding his head, Mu Chen cupped his fists towards Matron He of the Wen Clan, thanking her for her help before swiftly following after Pavilion Master Lu.
Following behind Pavilion Master Lu, the two of them entered the Great Thousand Pavilion. In a guest room, Pavilion Master Lu turned around and looked at Mu Chen. "Mu Chen, the headquarters of the Great Thousand Palace has acknowledged your identity as a Demon Slayer King, but …"
"Because you're still weak, and the Great Thousand Palace can't give you the authority of a Demon Slayer King."
There wasn't any surprise on Mu Chen's face. On the contrary, he lightly nodded his head. He wasn't a fool, so he wouldn't think that he could become a top-tiered force like the Great Thousand Palace just because he managed to become a Demon Slayer King, possessing the authority to mobilize the experts of the Great Thousand Palace.
The Great Thousand Palace had a deep foundation, and the authority structure was clear as well. A Demon Slayer King possessed great authority and status. If Mu Chen was a Saint Heavenly Sovereign, then the Great Thousand Palace would definitely welcome him. But it was a pity that he was only a Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign.
This strength was clearly not enough for him to enjoy the authority of a Demon Slayer King in the Great Thousand Palace. If he forced it, he would only invite trouble for himself.
After all, no one would obey the orders of a Half-Step Perfection Demon Slayer King.
"You can accept it?" Tower Master Lu was slightly surprised to see Mu Chen nod his head calmly.
Mu Chen smiled, "I understand the Great Thousand Palace's actions. If I really want to become the Demon Slayer King, I will only be asking for humiliation."
A flash of admiration flashed in Tower Master Lu's eyes. Although Mu Chen was young, he wasn't arrogant. Furthermore, he knew his own limits and knew what he could and couldn't touch.
"But you don't have to be depressed. Although you don't have the authority to become a Demon Slayer King, your status has already been established. No matter what, if others want to touch you, they will have to consider the face of our Great Thousand Palace."
"Furthermore, when you're powerful enough and you're willing to come to the Great Thousand Palace, my Great Thousand Palace can give you the authority of a Demon Slayer King at any time." Tower Master Lu said.
"Then I'll have to thank Tower Master Lu."
Mu Chen cupped his fists and smiled. He wasn't unhappy with the Great Thousand Palace's decision. Furthermore, he was grateful that they could help him out.
Tower Master Lu smiled as he continued, "Furthermore, although your Demon Slayer King title is a little fake, the Demon Slayer Points are genuine."
Mu Chen was briefly stunned before joy flashed in his eyes. "Tower Master, you're saying that I can use those Demon Slayer Points?"
The Demon Slayer Points of the Great Thousand Palace could be exchanged for all sorts of treasures, Saint Artifacts, Sovereign Celestial Bodies, Spiritual Pellets, and even Peerless Divine Abilities.
In the past, Mu Chen was worried that his Demon Slayer King title was a trick, so he didn't think that those Demon Slayer Points could be used. But judging from Tower Master Lu's words, he could use those Demon Slayer Points to exchange for treasures.
Seeing Mu Chen's joyful expression, Tower Master Lu smiled with his eyes narrowed as he nodded his head and turned towards the inner hall. "Follow me."
Mu Chen's face was filled with joy as he swiftly followed after Tower Master Lu.
Following behind Tower Master Lu, they passed through a few halls and arrived before a tightly shut warehouse. Tower Master Lu waved his hand and a dazzling lustre blossomed from the bronze door before it slowly opened with creaking noises.
When the door opened, a dense treasure lustre blew out, causing Mu Chen to be unable to open his eyes.
When he focused his gaze over, he couldn't help sucking in a cold breath. In the massive warehouse, there were crystal balls floating in the air with every single one of them emitting a dazzling treasure lustre. Evidently, the items within were extraordinary.
"Truly worthy of the Great Thousand Palace."
Mu Chen couldn't help sighing as he looked at the warehouse that was filled with treasures. The Great Thousand Palace was truly a pinnacle supreme force. Just a branch alone could possess such a bountiful treasury. Their foundation wasn't something that ordinary forces could compare to.
Bringing Mu Chen in, Tower Master Lu smiled. "The crystal balls are marked with additional prices. If you're interested in them, you can exchange for them as long as you have enough Demon Slayer Points."
Mu Chen's eyes heated up as he took a step forth and swept his gaze across the crystal balls.
"High Rank Saint Artifact, Heavenly Flame Spear, 800 Demon Slayer Points."
"Perfected Divine Ability, Lesser Radiance Finger, 1,100 Demon Slayer Points."
"Myriad Wood Rejuvenating Physique, ranked 39th on the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies, 1,300 Demon Slayer Points."
“”
There were all sorts of treasures in the crystal balls, causing Mu Chen to sigh in admiration. However, at his current level, ordinary High Rank Saint Artifacts and Perfected Divine Abilities were no longer attractive to him.
"Tower Master Lu, are there any higher ranked ones?" Mu Chen asked.
Tower Master Lu smiled as he pointed to the left. "Most of them are Quasi-Peerless Saint Artifacts, I feel that they're suitable for you."
Generally speaking, Peerless Saint Artifacts belonged to Heavenly Sovereigns. Thus, Quasi-Peerless Saint Artifacts were the strongest Saint Artifacts for those that had yet to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.
When Mu Chen heard his words, he quickened his steps. He was currently extremely interested in Quasi-Peerless Saint Artifacts. After all, the Heavenly Emperor Sword's energy had been exhausted, so he needed a high ranked treasure.
His footsteps stopped beside a crystal ball that was the size of a human head. Looking at it, he saw a black whip that was slowly revolving. The whip was covered in spikes that flickered with a cold lustre. Every single section of the whip was engraved with ancient runes that gave off a bizarre feeling.
"Mhm?" Mu Chen exclaimed as he looked at the black whip. He felt a sense of familiarity from it.
"This whip is called the God Binding Whip, a Quasi-Peerless Saint Artifact. It's refined from the leaves of the ancient Datura Flower. To be able to reach this level, that Datura Flower must have reached the Heavenly Sovereign Realm." Pavilion Master Lu smiled.
"So it's refined from the leaves of the Datura Flower."
Mu Chen understood why he felt a sense of familiarity from it. This item was pretty good, and if he gave it to Datura, she would definitely be able to unleash a powerful might.
After leaving the Sacred Abyss City, Mu Chen intended to return to the Greatlaw Continent to take a look. After all, the Mu Abode had just been established, and as the Abode Ruler, if he didn't return for a long time, it would cause the hearts of the people to waver, even with Datura's help.
As for this God Binding Whip, it would be a gift for Datura. After all, it was tough for her to manage the Mu Abode for him.
Mu Chen glanced at the price. 2,000 Demon Slayer Points was within his acceptable range, so he took out the Demon Slayer Token and swiped it on the crystal ball. As a lustre flickered, the crystal ball slowly floated over and he stored it with a wave of his hand.
After exchanging for the God Binding Whip, Mu Chen did not stop and continued to move forth. Not long after, he saw another item.
It seemed to be an exquisite earring made from crystal. The pendant of the earring contained a jade-green liquid. It was this strange liquid that caused the earring to look different.
"Brat, your eyesight is pretty picky. This is the Heavenly Spirit Chalcedony, an item formed from the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth after being compressed for countless years. Wearing it can greatly increase the speed of one's cultivation, and it can be considered as a treasure that can assist in cultivation. But it's useless for Heavenly Sovereigns, so it can only be considered as a Quasi-Peerless Saint Artifact." Pavilion Master Lu couldn't help smiling when he saw Mu Chen's gaze.
Mu Chen fell into his thoughts. The Heavenly Spirit Chalcedony was extremely suitable for Luo Li, who was only a Lesser Earth Sovereign at this moment. If she had this item, it would greatly benefit her cultivation.
Looking at the price, 3,000 Demon Slayer Points, he was a little startled. It looked like an item that could assist in cultivation was more expensive.
But for Luo Li, it wasn't a problem. Thus, he waved his hand and exchanged for it.
"Good brat, you're really willing to spend for a beauty."
Pavilion Master Lu smiled with his eyes narrowed. This item was clearly meant for women, and Mu Chen was clearly giving it to his lover for being so generous.
Hearing his ridicule, Mu Chen smiled and glanced at the Demon Slayer Token. In just a short moment, he had already spent half of his Demon Slayer Points, which made him inwardly smack his lips. It's no wonder why so many Demon Slayers would stay in the Sacred Abyss Continent to earn Demon Slayer Points.
"Now, let me see if there's a Quasi-Peerless Saint Artifact that's suitable for me."
Mu Chen pondered for a brief moment. Thereafter, he carried some expectations as he continued to head towards the depths. After searching for a long time, Mu Chen's footsteps slowly came to a stop.
His eyes were looking at the crystal ball beside him with a strange expression.
There wasn't any Peerless Saint Artifact within it, but there was a lump of jelly-like golden liquid that was slowly flowing within. A peculiar ripple was being emitted from the golden liquid.
"This is …"
Mu Chen squinted his eyes with a smear of shock in his eyes.
"Vajra Spirit Breaking Liquid?"
(I'll find some time tomorrow to write the fifth chapter of the Ice Spirit Clan's story. In this chapter, everyone will finally be able to see the confrontation between Lin Dong and the West Heaven Battle Emperor.
After writing it, I'll post it on WeChat.
