The battle that shook the Greatlaw Continent had finally come to an end. But the repercussions of this matter still caused the entire Greatlaw Continent to tremble.
If the battle between the Mu Abode and the three Overlords of the Northern Region had only caused the Mu Abode's reputation to rise in the Greatlaw Continent, then this battle had allowed the Mu Abode to stand at the pinnacle of the Greatlaw Continent.
This battle had allowed the Mu Abode to stand at the pinnacle of the Greatlaw Continent, attracting the respect of countless forces.
In the future, the Northern Region would belong to the Mu Abode, and no force would dare to covet it. As for those pinnacle forces in the Greatlaw Continent, they would also be extremely fearful of the Mu Abode.
That's because the Mu Abode already had a Heavenly Sovereign, and judging from the strength that Mu Chen had displayed, if it wasn't for the fact that the Mu Abode's foundation was still lacking, they would have long become one of the supreme forces in the Great Thousand World.
If it was another continent, with Mu Chen's current strength, he could directly occupy the entire continent and treat it as his own territory. No one would dare to say a word about it.
That's because this was the rule of the Great Thousand World. As long as one became a Heavenly Sovereign, it would be equivalent to becoming a pinnacle existence in the Great Thousand World, equivalent to the ruler of the Great Thousand World, possessing the qualifications to be called a Dao Ancestor.
However, the Greatlaw Continent was, after all, one of the supercontinents in the Great Thousand World, with unimaginable resources. Even the supreme forces would be envious of it. So although there weren't any Heavenly Sovereigns in the Greatlaw Continent, practically all of those pinnacle forces had the backing of a supreme force.
Under this complicated environment, although the Mu Abode could look down on everyone and occupy the Northern Region with Mu Chen's existence, they still couldn't dominate the Greatlaw Continent.
If they forcefully did so, then they would definitely implicate many supreme forces. At that time, it wouldn't just be the Violet Spiritual Aura Cave, Thunder Note Temple, and Dragon Carving Cave that would be unhappy with the Mu Abode.
If he attracted the hatred of too many enemies, even Mu Chen wouldn't be able to bear it, unless he could confront a Saint Heavenly Sovereign in the future. At that time, it would only be a flip of his hand for him to take over the Greatlaw Continent.
Thus, under his orders, the Mu Abode only managed to reclaim the territory in the Northern Region after this victory, and they did not extend their tentacles to other places, lest they attract the resistance of the other forces.
After all, the vast Northern Region was enough for the Mu Abode to digest for a long time.
Mu Abode, Ancient Haven Palace
A ray of light descended from the sky and landed on the most majestic mountain beside the Heavenly River, revealing Mu Chen's figure. He sat down on the peak of the mountain and looked down. He could see the Heavenly River that was like a jade belt surrounding the majestic mountain.
The surroundings of the Heavenly River were filled with cultivation platforms with many silhouettes cultivating. Since the commotion caused by Mu Chen's appearance wasn't small, it had naturally attracted many gazes over.
Those that could come to the Heavenly River to cultivate were mostly the elites of the Mu Abode's sects. That's because those of their age would benefit the most by cultivating in the Heavenly River.
Thus, the youths around the Heavenly River were all extraordinary, while the girls were young and beautiful. Their temperaments were ethereal, which added to the Heavenly River's beauty.
"Look, it's the Abode Ruler!"
Thus, when Mu Chen appeared on the mountain outside the Heavenly River, he instantly attracted the gazes of respect from the surrounding youths.
"The Abode Ruler is truly formidable to step into the legendary Heavenly Sovereign Realm at such a young age, becoming a pinnacle powerhouse in the Great Thousand World." Many beautiful girls looked at that majestic silhouette with their faces flushed red.
"Hehe, little hussy, don't be rash. Who do you think the Abode Ruler is? How can he look at us?" Some girls chuckled.
Those youths also gently snorted, "It's rumored that the Abode Ruler has someone he loves. That fairy has cultivated the Luo Shen Celestial Body, and she will definitely be the Bella of the Great Thousand World in the future. Don't even think about it."
However, any youth who said such words would quickly be ruthlessly cut by the surrounding pairs of beautiful eyes.
For a brief moment, the surroundings of the Heavenly River were bustling.
Although the mountain was far from the Heavenly River, Mu Chen could naturally hear the commotion and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But when he saw those youths, he also felt a little emotional. He recalled the time when he was cultivating in Hokuang Reiwon in the Northern Spiritual Academy. At that time, didn't he also revere the strong?
With a smile, he gradually retracted those thoughts and a beam shot out from his eyes before it turned into a crystal pagoda that hovered before him.
He had been staying in the Mu Abode for the past few days, waiting for the Mu Abode to gain control of the entire Northern Region before he had the time to enter the Ancient Haven Palace. At this moment, he had to deal with the problem in the crystal pagoda.
When he fought with the Profound Sky Ancestor a few days ago, he had only suppressed the latter in the pagoda and did not destroy the latter. So now that he was free, he had to get rid of this hidden danger. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to use the pagoda so easily when he fights in the future.
The crystal pagoda quietly hovered before Mu Chen, emanating a divine lustre.
Mu Chen's silhouette moved and turned into a streak of light that shot into the pagoda. As the lustre before him fluctuated, he had already appeared in the pagoda.
Sweeping his gaze out, he saw the crystalline lustre blossoming from the pagoda as it gathered in every direction, forming into a crystalline star at the center. Within the star, there was a silhouette sitting there, constantly circulating boundless Spiritual Energy to contend with it.
Sensing Mu Chen's gaze, that silhouette suddenly opened his eyes with a pale expression. This person was the Profound Sky Ancestor that Mu Chen had previously suppressed with the pagoda.
Mu Chen paid no attention to the Profound Sky Ancestor's expression. On the contrary, he looked at the pagoda with interest. Ever since he had stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, the pagoda had undergone a huge change.
Every single crystallised lustre emanated from the pagoda, and if one looked carefully, they would realise that there were countless ancient runes in the lustre that contained a powerful sealing power.
Even with the Profound Sky Ancestor's strength, he could only be trapped within it. That's because the moment he circulated his Spiritual Energy, the sealing power would envelop and seal his Spiritual Energy.
"The power of the pagoda's seal can already affect Heavenly Sovereigns?"
Mu Chen's gaze flickered. In the past, the pagoda did not possess such an ability, but it did at this moment.
"The reason why the Ancient Buddha Clan could become one of the Five Ancient Clans of the Great Thousand World is because of their uniqueness. This sealing power is simply overbearing."
Mu Chen sighed in his heart. If it wasn't for the pagoda's sealing power, then it wouldn't be so easy for him to deal with the Profound Sky Ancestor.
"Profound Sky Ancestor, is my pagoda comfortable?" Mu Chen looked at the Profound Sky Ancestor and faintly smiled.
The Profound Sky Ancestor's face was pale. He wanted to flare up, but he had no choice but to restrain himself and swallow the humiliation. "I admit defeat this time. I was in the wrong, and I will apologise to your Mu Abode. I can also compensate you as long as you let me out. What do you think?"
Since he was under someone else's roof, he had no choice but to lower his head. Now that he was being suppressed by Mu Chen, he could only admit defeat.
When Mu Chen heard his words, he faintly smiled. "You nearly destroyed my Mu Abode. Do you think that you can write it off with just an apology?"
The Profound Sky Ancestor raged, "Then what do you want?
I did not kill anyone from your Mu Abode! "
A cold light flashed in Mu Chen's eyes. "If that's not the case, I would have suppressed you to death right now!"
Sensing the cold killing intent in Mu Chen's words, even the Profound Sky Ancestor felt a chill in his heart. He knew that Mu Chen did have the ability to do so, and if Mu Chen relied on this pagoda, he might really be able to suppress him until he dies.
Thinking of that outcome, the Profound Sky Ancestor couldn't help gulping down a mouthful of saliva before a fawning smile appeared on his face. "Brother Mu, why do you have to do this? Speaking of which, there isn't any grudge between us. I was also instigated by that old fogey, Hei Guang.
"What do I have to do for you to let me go? Just say the word. If it's within my means, I will definitely not refuse!"
When Mu Chen heard that, he squinted his eyes. So it really was that Elder Hei Guang?
But this matter might not be done by him alone, since he had the strongest Profound Bloodline in the Ancient Buddha Clan standing behind him.
"It's not impossible for me to let you go." Mu Chen looked at the Profound Sky Ancestor and casually said.
Although he could indeed suppress the Mysterious Sky Patriarch if he used his full strength, it wouldn't be very beneficial to him.
Hearing Mu Chen's tone, the Profound Sky Ancestor rejoiced and immediately asked, "Brother Mu, what are your conditions?"
With a smile, Mu Chen replied, "If you can promise to become an Elder of my Mu Abode for a hundred years, we can write off today's matter."
"What?!"
The Profound Sky Ancestor's eyes widened and his face turned unsightly as he hollered, "I'm free, so why should I listen to you?!"
He was a Heavenly Sovereign, so wouldn't that make him Mu Chen's slave?
Mu Chen wasn't surprised by the Profound Sky Ancestor's reaction and replied, "My Mu Abode will hold a grand ceremony to invite you as an Elder to give you face. Furthermore, I will not order you to do anything, as long as you stay in the Mu Abode for a hundred years and protect it."
The Profound Sky Ancestor knitted his brows with a flash of hesitation in his eyes.
"If you're not willing, then I won't force you."
Mu Chen squinted his eyes with a cold light gradually gathering in his eyes. "But it's time for us to settle the grudges between us."
As he spoke, his hands joined together and the pagoda trembled with a crystallised lustre descending.
Seeing Mu Chen's actions, the Profound Sky Ancestor was shocked in his heart before he gritted his teeth. "Thirty years!
I will be an Elder of your Mu Abode for thirty years, and if anyone dares to invade during this period, the Ancestor can help! "
He could tell that Mu Chen was a decisive person, and if they couldn't come to an agreement, the latter might really be ruthless.
When the Profound Sky Ancestor finished his words, a gentle smile appeared on Mu Chen's face before he nodded his head.
"Sure."
