"Violet Cloud Sect …"
Hearing Mu Chen's words, Datura's expression turned grave as she cast a glance outside the hall. "Those three old fellows from before should be Elders of the Violet Cloud Sect, and their positions aren't low. You're truly generous to let them go."
After all, they were three Perfected Earth Sovereigns, and the Violet Cloud Sect wouldn't dare to take action against them if they were left behind.
"Within a year, they're practically crippled. At most, they'll be equivalent to Lesser Earth Sovereigns."
Mu Chen smiled. "Unless a Heavenly Sovereign makes a move, no one can undo the seal that I've left behind."
Although he spoke casually, everyone in the hall was shocked in their hearts. Their Abode Ruler's means were too terrifying. He's only a Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign, and the seal that he left behind required a Heavenly Sovereign to make a move?
Datura looked at Mu Chen with astonishment. She never thought that the latter would reach this step. If that's the case, then they wouldn't have to worry about those three old fellows.
Before absolute strength, there was no need for some small tricks.
"You should know that our Northern Region is only a corner of the Northern Domain. Although we've unified the Northern Region, our strength can only be considered as average in the entire Northern Domain." Datura slowly said.
Mu Chen lightly nodded his head. The Greatlaw Continent was, after all, a supercontinent in the Great Thousand World. Even in the Great Thousand World, such a continent was rarely seen. Thus, there were naturally as many forces as there are stars in the sky.
Amongst them, there were also many powerful forces that had concealed themselves.
"In our Northern Domain, the three strongest forces are the Violet Cloud Sect, Thunder Note Mountain, and the Golden Eagle Mansion. They're the true colossus of the Northern Domain, with over 70% of the Northern Domain being ruled by them." Datura said.
"Violet Cloud Sect, Thunder Note Mountain, Golden Eagle Mansion …" Mu Chen nodded slightly. In the past, he had never heard of these reputations. Clearly, it was because the Northern Region had been too chaotic and weak in the past. As a result, even these overlords did not have any thoughts of getting involved.
But now that the Northern Region was beginning to be unified and their strength was starting to increase, with Datura, a Great Perfection deity existence, they naturally started to pay attention to him. As such, the Purple Cloud Sect sent out a recruitment order.
"How strong is the Ziyun Sect?"
Mu Chen said in a low voice. The Violet Cloud Sect would probably not let today's matter go, so he needed to be prepared.
"There are six great elders in the Violet Cloud Sect, and all of them are in the Great Perfection realm. Zi Tianbei and the other two were three of them."
Mu Chen nodded his head slightly. Six Great Perfection deities were indeed extremely powerful. Although the Great Xia Dynasty, Saint Demonic Palace, and other forces that he had encountered in the past had some fame in the Tianluo Continent, it was obvious that they were still too weak compared to such forces with deep foundations and hidden powers.
It looked like he had slightly underestimated the Tianluo Continent in the past.
"Naturally, the most powerful one isn't the six elders, but the Sect Master of the Violet Cloud Sect, the Violet Cloud Lord. That person has already stepped into the pinnacle of the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm many years ago, and rumour has it that he has vaguely come in contact with the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. His strength is extremely terrifying, and it's not something that a Perfected Earth Sovereign can compare to." As she spoke, even Datura had fear in her eyes.
In the Great Thousand World, there were too many Perfected Earth Sovereigns, but those that could come in contact with the Heavenly Sovereign Realm were few and far between. That's because reaching that step meant that they had opened the door to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, and in the future, they might be able to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.
"He's starting to come in contact with the Heavenly Sovereign Realm?"
When Mu Chen heard her words, a smear of shock flashed in his eyes as he pondered, "There's no Heavenly Sovereign in the Northern Domain?"
Now that his experience and knowledge had increased, he felt a little curious. Generally speaking, a continent like the Greatlaw Continent should be coveted by all the supreme forces in the Great Thousand World. So why was the Greatlaw Continent still in a masterless state after so many years?
The Heavenly Sovereigns of the Great Thousand World shouldn't give up on this continent that possessed boundless resources.
"Perhaps there are only a few Heavenly Sovereigns in the entire Tianluo Continent."
Datura shook her head as she faintly smiled. "But the number of Heavenly Sovereigns paying attention to the Tianluo Continent probably exceeds your imagination."
Mu Chen was briefly stunned before he understood. "Looks like there are quite a few forces eyeing the Tianluo Continent …"
The Greatlaw Continent was a fat piece of meat that even those supreme forces in the Great Thousand World coveted. But it was precisely because this piece of meat was too fat that there were too many conflicts and no supreme force had the confidence to occupy it. Thus, there was a balance between the supreme forces that kept each other in check, preventing the other party from occupying the Greatlaw Continent.
Datura nodded her head. "It's said that those forces that are eyeing the Tianluo Continent have an agreement to not send any Heavenly Sovereigns down to the Tianluo Continent. Any conflicts in the Tianluo Continent will be allowed to develop freely until a true Overlord appears."
"Although Heavenly Sovereigns can't descend, those forces also have other means, which is to send those pinnacle existences beneath the Heavenly Sovereign Realm to establish sects in the Tianluo Continent or support some powerful forces to accumulate their strength in an attempt to become the unrivalled Overlord of the Tianluo Continent."
Mu Chen squinted his eyes. If that's the case, wouldn't that mean that those pinnacle forces in the Tianluo Continent all have a supreme force standing behind them?
Seeing Mu Chen's gaze, Datura helplessly sighed and nodded her head. "That's right, the Violet Cloud Sect, Thunder Note Mountain and Golden Eagle Mansion all have a supreme force supporting them in the dark."
"All these years, these three factions have been constantly fighting for the right to be the overlord of the northern region. Next month will be the day of the fight for the position of overlord. It is said that no matter which faction wins, the other overlord factions must withdraw from the northern region."
"No wonder they're so arrogant."
Mu Chen knitted his brows. It was no wonder why those from the Violet Cloud Sect were so arrogant. So it turned out that they didn't only have the Violet Cloud Sect behind them, but also a supreme force.
It looked like he had underestimated the depth of the Greatlaw Continent. Initially, he thought that there weren't any supreme forces in the Greatlaw Continent. But who could have expected that this continent had already become a chess board for the various supreme forces to compete in? In the past, he and the Great Havenlaw Domain weren't qualified to be the chess pieces on this chessboard.
That meant that the opening of the Ancient Haven Palace must have attracted the attention of many supreme forces. It was only after the appearance of Yan Emperor and Wu Zu that those supreme forces gave up on their thoughts.
However, the complicated situation in the Tianluo Continent did not make Mu Chen feel fearful. Right now, his wings were growing, and he wasn't afraid of anyone beneath the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, not even those Perfected Earth Sovereigns that had come in contact with the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.
As for those supreme forces, he was now the Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace. Although he didn't possess the authority to be a Demon Slayer King, the Great Thousand Palace would still acknowledge his identity to appease him.
This was undoubtedly a great protective talisman. If those supreme forces and Heavenly Sovereigns wanted to deal with him, then they would have to consider the Great Thousand Palace's thoughts.
Furthermore, he also had a stone talisman that belonged to Wu Zu.
Whether it was the growth of his own strength or external factors, Mu Chen was no longer the same as before. Things that he couldn't imagine in the past could now be realised.
"How much is the annual income of our Mu Abode?" Mu Chen suddenly looked at Datura and asked.
Hearing Mu Chen's sudden question, Datura was briefly stunned before she replied, "The annual income of the Mu Abode should be around 300,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid."
"300,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid …"
Mu Chen gently shook his head. Right now, he was carrying the Black Dragon Army, a bottomless pit that required a terrifying 800,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid a year.
Furthermore, he also had the Eight-Divisional Pagoda, a Peerless Divine Ability that wasn't inferior to the Three Pures. It possessed terrifying might, but at the same time, it required a terrifying amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to execute.
So according to his estimations, he would need to consume at least 1,000,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid a year to ensure the existence of the Black Dragon Army and Eight-Divisional Pagoda.
Naturally, it wasn't something that the Mu Abode could afford.
Mu Chen's gaze flickered as he asked, "Then, how much can the Violet Cloud Sect produce in a year?"
Datura looked at the Sky Vulture Emperor, since the latter was responsible for the Mu Abode's information.
When the Sky Vulture Emperor saw her response, he immediately replied, "Report to the Abode Ruler. With the Violet Cloud Sect's scale, it can roughly reach 1,500,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid a year."
"1,500,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid …"
A smile appeared on Mu Chen's face. Only with such a scale could they afford his consumption and strengthen the Mu Abode.
When Datura saw Mu Chen smiling, she felt baffled and sourly said, "Right now, you should think about how to deal with the Violet Cloud Sect. They have suffered such a great loss, and they will definitely not let this matter rest."
"Furthermore, I'm afraid that our Mu Abode will also be in the eyes of the three Overlords of the Northern Domain after all. At that time, it will be troublesome for us."
Everyone in the Mu Abode nodded their heads. The Violet Cloud Sect was, after all, one of the Overlords of the Northern Domain, which gave them great pressure. Even with Mu Chen around, they still couldn't help worrying out of habit.
With a faint smile, Mu Chen replied, "There's nothing to consider … the Overlord Battle of the Northern Domain will begin in a month, right?"
Nodding her head, Datura had no idea what he was going to do.
With a gentle smile, Mu Chen's voice resounded in the hall, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"Then, I've decided that our Mu Abode will participate in the Overlord Battle of the Northern Domain!"
