"Overlord of the Northern Domain?"
When Mu Chen's voice resounded in the hall, everyone was dumbfounded. They were clearly shocked by Mu Chen's grand plan.
After all, the Northern Region could only be considered as mid-tier in the Northern Domain, and it's impossible for them to dip their hands into the Overlord of the Northern Domain.
Even if Mu Chen's strength was outstanding, the Mu Abode's forces were too weak. They only had Datura, who was a Perfected Earth Sovereign.
Seeing everyone's shock, Mu Chen faintly smiled and pointed towards Ling Xi and Long Xiang. "Long Xiang and Ling Xi will be joining the Mu Abode. One of them is a Perfected Earth Sovereign, while the other is a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar."
Everyone had already witnessed Long Xiang's strength, so they weren't surprised. But when they heard that the white-dressed Ling Xi was actually a rare High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar, they couldn't help exclaiming in shock and directed their gazes at the latter.
While everyone exclaimed, Mu Chen waved his hand and a robust silhouette appeared. It was the Commander of the Black Dragon Army, Jiang Long.
"Master." The moment Jiang Long appeared, he cupped his fists towards Mu Chen before looking around in puzzlement.
"Commander Jiang Long will also be a part of our Mu Abode in the future."
Mu Chen smiled as he patted Jiang Long's shoulder. The latter was also a genuine Perfected Earth Sovereign.
Although Jiang Long had no idea what Mu Chen was doing, he still nodded his head.
Rustle!
A commotion broke out in the hall as Liu Tiandao and the rest exchanged looks with disbelief. They never expected that not only would Mu Chen's strength increase, he would even have a bunch of powerful helpers by his side.
Those were three Perfected Earth Sovereigns, and in terms of strength, they had practically surpassed their Mu Abode.
But as the commotion passed, the eyes of everyone in the Mu Abode blazed with desire. In the past, their Mu Abode didn't dare to take the Overlord position in the Northern Domain, since they weren't strong enough. But with the return of Mu Chen, the strength of their Mu Abode had grown unimaginably.
With this strength, perhaps they could give it a try. At the very least, even if they couldn't obtain the Overlord position of the Northern Domain, they could at least obtain the same status as the Violet Cloud Sect.
At that point, the status and cultivation conditions they could obtain would far surpass what they had today.
Thinking about that day, everyone in the Mu Abode felt their hearts boiling with desire in their eyes. In the end, all of them stood up and bowed towards Mu Chen with their fists cupped. "We are willing to listen to the Abode Ruler's orders!"
Looking at the morale of the Mu Abode's experts, Mu Chen nodded his head in satisfaction. If the Mu Abode wanted to become the Overlord of the Northern Domain, then they would need a powerful foundation. If they didn't have the confidence, then the morale of the Mu Abode would swiftly decline.
Mu Chen turned around and looked at Datura with a smile. "What do you think?"
Datura casually shrugged her shoulders. "You're the Abode Ruler, so you naturally have the final say."
She was also a little shocked by the powerful helpers that Mu Chen had brought back. With the addition of three Perfected Earth Sovereigns, the Mu Abode's overall strength could reach the pinnacle of the Northern Domain.
Naturally, if they wanted to compete for the Overlord position, then they would have to rely on Mu Chen, since they lacked a top-tiered fighting force to confront someone like the Violet Cloud Lord, who had come in contact with the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.
As she spoke, she looked at the experts of the Mu Abode. "Since the Abode Ruler has the intention of becoming the Overlord of the Northern Domain, then all of you have to work hard in your cultivation. A month from now, my Mu Abode will participate in the Northern Domain Assembly and compete with everyone!"
"Yes!"
Everyone acknowledged before they looked at Mu Chen. When the latter slightly nodded his head, they left the hall.
As everyone left, Datura looked at Mu Chen and blinked her eyes in puzzlement. "Why are you suddenly interested in becoming the Overlord of the Northern Domain?"
She was clear about Mu Chen's character, and he didn't seem to be someone with ambition. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left the Mu Abode aside and disappeared for so long.
When Mu Chen heard her words, he felt a little awkward, but he still frankly said, "I need at least 1,000,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid a year, and I'm afraid that I can't do it alone."
Indeed, it was as Datura had said. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't think about the Overlord position of the Northern Domain. But he had no choice but to support the Black Dragon Army. It was a powerful army that could confront an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign at their peak, so Mu Chen couldn't give up on it.
But he naturally couldn't spend most of his time thinking about how to earn Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Thus, if he wanted to obtain a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, then he would have to establish a powerful force.
Datura suddenly understood. Although Mu Chen did not say it clearly, she knew that the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid must be extremely important to Mu Chen. Otherwise, he wouldn't be willing to do something so troublesome.
"This is the Mu Abode, and you're the only owner here. As long as you're willing, the Mu Abode can do anything for you."
Datura glanced at Mu Chen with a smile on her face. She could tell that Mu Chen seemed to be a little ashamed.
Mu Chen nodded his head. Although he was the owner of the Mu Abode, it was established by Datura for him. Furthermore, ever since it was established, Datura had been working hard. So it was unavoidable for him to feel a little guilty when he wanted to use the Mu Abode to earn a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid for him.
"Right, this is Big Sister Ling Xi, Long Xiang, and Jiang Long."
Suppressing the gratitude in his heart, Mu Chen proceeded to introduce Ling Xi and the rest to one another.
Ling Xi and the rest gave a friendly smile towards Datura. On the way here, Mu Chen had already told them about Datura, so they were grateful for Datura's care for Mu Chen.
Datura could also sense Ling Xi's gratitude, so she swept a glance at Mu Chen. It looked like the relationship between the two of them wasn't ordinary.
After the two of them got to know each other, Datura brought Mu Chen's party out of the palace and headed for the Mu Abode. The current headquarters of the Mu Abode was actually the Greatlaw Sky of the Great Heaven Domain.
But the headquarters of the Mu Abode was still connected to the Ancient Haven Palace.
Mu Chen was also curious about the Ancient Haven Palace, so he followed Datura's lead and stepped into the Ancient Haven Palace.
Stepping into the space of the Ancient Haven Palace once again, the entire region was still filled with an ancient aura. However, the ruins had been gradually cleared up and new palaces started to take form. Vaguely, the embryonic form of the supreme force that once ruled over the Greatlaw Continent was revealed once again.
"There are still many regions in the Ancient Haven Palace that have yet to be developed. Those regions are all damaged Spiritual Arrays that even I do not dare to dismantle. I can only prohibit those regions from approaching."
Looking at this ancient space that was filled with vitality, a gentle smile appeared on Datura's face. This was once her home, but it was destroyed when she woke up.
"You can leave those damaged Spiritual Arrays to Big Sister Ling Xi. She's a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar, so she should be able to maintain or dismantle them." Mu Chen was also satisfied with the vitality of the Ancient Haven Palace, so he smiled.
Ling Xi nodded her head with a smile. She was infatuated with Spiritual Arrays, to begin with, so if she could study those ancient Spiritual Arrays, it would be the best thing for her.
Datura rejoiced. With the help of a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar, the development of the Ancient Haven Palace would be swift.
Everyone proceeded forth and not long later, they saw a dazzling river that was akin to a silver river that slowly flowed in the sky with boundless Spiritual Energy emanating from it.
"Such pure Heaven and Earth spiritual energy!" Ling Xi, Long Xiang and the others exclaimed in shock when they saw the meandering river.
The Spiritual Energy here was ten-odd times stronger than the outside world, so if they could cultivate here, their cultivation speed would definitely be shocking.
"This is truly a flourishing cultivation ground!"
Mu Chen exclaimed as he swept his gaze around. There were many white jade cultivation platforms that floated outside the Heavenly Lake, enveloped by boundless Spiritual Energy.
There were many silhouettes on those white jade cultivation platforms.
Whoosh!
Two streaks of light flew over and landed before Mu Chen's party, revealing two gorgeous girls. However, one had an aloof temperament, while the other was gentle and beautiful.
They were Tang Bing and Tang Rou.
"We pay our respects to the Abode Ruler, Lord Datura!" Tang Bing and Tang Rou respectfully greeted.
But just when they wanted to kneel, a gentle force stopped them and Mu Chen shook his head with a smile. "Big Sister Tang Bing, we're already old acquaintances, so there's no need for this."
When he first came to the Great Heaven Domain, he was only a small Commander of the Jiu You Palace with a good relationship with Tang Bing and Tang Rou. With their cooperation, the Jiu You Palace gradually stood out in the Great Heaven Domain.
Looking at the familiar smile on Mu Chen's face, Tang Bing and Tang Rou's tensed bodies loosened up. It looked like even if Mu Chen's identity was completely different, he was still the same Mu Chen of the past.
"Right now, Tang Bing and Tang Rou are the managers of our Mu Abode, and most of the internal affairs are managed by them. Take the Heavenly Lake Cultivation Token for example, it's currently the hottest item in the Northern Region." Datura smiled.
"Heavenly Lake Cultivation Token?" Mu Chen was stunned.
"The Heavenly Lake is a place for cultivation, and it's rarely seen in the outside world. Thus, to motivate the experts of the Mu Abode, we have set up some restrictions. Every city under the Mu Abode will obtain a certain number of Heavenly Lake Cultivation Tokens, and every single one of them will allow one person to cultivate in the Heavenly Lake for a year." Datura explained.
"Right now, everyone in the Mu Abode is doing their best to obtain more Heavenly Lake Cultivation Tokens."
When Mu Chen heard that, he couldn't help praising. If that's the case, then the temptation of the Heavenly Lake would be brought to the limit. In the long run, it would attract more experts to the Mu Abode.
"Formidable." Mu Chen gave a thumbs up to Tang Bing and Tang Rou.
There was a smile on Tang Bing's cold face, while Tang Rou's face blushed as she lowered her head and rubbed the corner of her clothes.
Raising his head, Mu Chen looked at the silhouettes cultivating around the Heavenly Lake and couldn't help sighing. Right now, the Mu Abode was truly flourishing with vitality. As long as it was given a chance, it would surely soar and dazzle everyone.
While Mu Chen was sighing, his expression suddenly changed and he turned to Datura. "Help me make arrangements for Big Sister Ling Xi and the rest."
When he finished speaking, his silhouette abruptly disappeared. Mandala looked at this scene and fell into deep thought.
In that instant, she vaguely sensed a summoning fluctuation that she was familiar with. It should have come from the hidden Hidden Scripture Pavilion in the Ancient Haven Palace …
