The commotion in the Ancient Haven Palace lasted for an entire month before it gradually dissipated.
As the commotion receded, millions of sacred lights shot out from the mountain peak and a slender silhouette slowly stood up at the center of the countless lights.
When he stood up, a thunderclap resounded between the heavens and earth and an indescribable pressure enveloped out, causing everyone in the surroundings to tremble from the pressure.
Sensing that the pressure was too powerful, the slender silhouette waved his hand and the radiance retracted back into his body, causing the terrifying pressure to dissipate.
As the spiritual light dissipated, it revealed Mu Chen's slender figure, handsome face, and a pair of pitch-black pupils that were as deep as the starry sky, unfathomably deep.
A hundred feet away, the Profound Sky Ancestor looked at Mu Chen with a complicated expression with shock in his eyes. After a long time, he sighed, "I never expected that the Abode Ruler would possess the legendary Nine Divine Pulse. It's no wonder why you could step into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm at such a young age."
His tone was filled with undisguised envy because he knew very well what the Nine Divine Pulses represented.
Mu Chen smiled before he took a deep glance at the Profound Sky Ancestor. "I hope that Elder Profound Sky can keep this a secret for me."
The Profound Sky Ancestor clearly had a relationship with someone in the Ancient Buddha Clan, and if this news was leaked out, it would cause Mu Chen to lose a trump card.
The Profound Sky Ancestor solemnly replied, "Abode Ruler, please be reassured. This old man is now an Elder of the Mu Abode, so I will naturally not do anything that will harm the Abode Ruler."
Mu Chen was a little surprised by the Profound Sky Ancestor's attitude. Although he had subdued the former and forced him to become an Elder of the Mu Abode, the Profound Sky Ancestor was clearly unwilling, so he wasn't respectful to him. But at this moment, the Profound Sky Ancestor was behaving like an Elder of the Mu Abode.
Sensing Mu Chen's astonishment, the Profound Sky Ancestor awkwardly smiled. Although he was fearful of Mu Chen in the past, it was far from respect. But after discovering that Mu Chen possessed the Nine Divine Pulse, he was truly intimidated.
With such a top-tiered Divine Pulse, there's a high chance that Mu Chen could reach the pinnacle of the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm in the future, and it wasn't embarrassing for the Profound Sky Ancestor to be respectful to a future Saint Heavenly Sovereign.
"Haha, I wonder what Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability did the Abode Ruler create this time?" The Profound Sky Ancestor stared at Mu Chen. Evidently, he was curious about Mu Chen's Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability.
When Mu Chen saw this, he lightly smiled and stretched his finger out.
Along with his finger pointing down, a purple flame appeared on his fingertip and drifted towards the Profound Sky Ancestor.
Seeing the purple flame flying over, the Profound Sky Ancestor did not dare to delay, since he could vaguely sense the dangerous aura coming from it. His body trembled and formed into a powerful Spiritual Energy barrier around him.
The barrier was so sturdy that it could even resist the attack of a Spirit Heavenly Sovereign.
Sizzle!
The purple flame gently drifted down, but in that instant, when it came in contact with the barrier, it was as if it had encountered grease and the purple flame suddenly expanded, turning into a blazing flame that enveloped the barrier.
The Spiritual Energy barrier swiftly melted under the purple flames. The purple flames grew even more ferocious and enveloped the Profound Sky Ancestor, who was caught by surprise.
This scene had caused the Profound Sky Ancestor's face to change. He never expected that not only could his defense resist for an instant, it even caused the purple flames to burn even more vigorously.
Huff!
Seeing the purple flames howling over, he hastily opened his mouth, causing an incomparably gigantic Spiritual Energy tide to explosively shoot out. Just a single drop of the Spiritual Energy tide was as heavy as ten thousand catties. That's because every single drop was formed from incomparably pure Spiritual Energy. As this tide swept out, even the tens of thousands of layers of mountains would be flattened.
When the robust Spiritual Energy tide clashed with the purple flames, it instantly caused ear-piercing sizzling noises to burst out. However, a scene that left the Profound Sky Ancestor shocked appeared. The purple flames grew even more vigorous under the Spiritual Energy tide. In the end, it had turned into a torrential fire that shrouded the heavens.
"What kind of flames are those?
They're actually so domineering! "
The Profound Sky Ancestor wore a grave expression with a smear of shock in his eyes. He could sense that not only did the boundless Spiritual Energy in his attack not extinguish the violet flames, it was like adding oil to the flames, causing them to burn even more vigorously.
Evidently, the purple flames had the terrifying ability to devour Spiritual Energy to strengthen itself.
Thus, the flames could be said to be bizarre, and if one was tangled with them in battle, who knows how much effort and effort it would take to get rid of them.
Just when the purple flames were about to envelop the Profound Sky Ancestor, Mu Chen opened his mouth and the purple flames returned, turning into strands of flames that entered his mouth and he devoured them.
"Mhm?"
As the purple flames entered his body, Mu Chen's expression suddenly changed. That's because he discovered that as the purple flames dissipated within his body, there was actually a surge of pure Spiritual Energy flowing out and fusing with his body.
"I never expected that the purple flames could devour Spiritual Energy back."
Mu Chen smiled. The purple flames were truly extraordinary. They were truly worthy of being a Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability that was formed from the Eight Divine Pulse.
"Abode Ruler, what is the origin of this flame?" The Profound Sky Ancestor exclaimed after recovering from the shock.
"This is my Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability, and I call it the Spirit-Devouring Violet Flames." Mu Chen smiled.
"The Spirit-Devouring Violet Flames?
It's truly worthy of its name. "
The Profound Sky Ancestor nodded his head with dense fear in his eyes. If Mu Chen hadn't retracted it earlier, then he would've been in a pathetic state from the purple flames.
"As expected of the Nine Divine Meridian. The Spiritual Meridian Mystic Ability is truly extraordinary."
When Mu Chen heard that, his expression slightly changed, but he only smiled. He did not speak any further, since the Spirit-Devouring Violet Flames was a Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability that he obtained after refining the Eight Divine Pulse, and he did not reveal the Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability from the Nine Divine Pulse.
The Profound Sky Ancestor had just submitted, so there was no need for him to reveal all his trump cards to the latter.
Rustle!
As Mu Chen and the Profound Sky Ancestor conversed, a streak of light flew over and landed on the peak. It was Datura, Ling Xi, and the other upper echelons of the Mu Abode.
When they saw that Mu Chen and An Ran were fine, they felt relieved. Evidently, they had been paying attention to the commotion caused by Mu Chen in the Ancient Haven Palace.
When Mu Chen saw their arrival, he smiled before pointing at the Profound Sky Ancestor. "From today onwards, this will be the first Elder of our Mu Abode. When I'm not around, the Mu Abode will be protected by Elder Profound Sky, and the grudges of the past will be written off."
During the month that Mu Chen was cultivating, it wasn't the first time that Datura and the rest had seen the Profound Sky Ancestor, so they were already mentally prepared. Thus, they nodded their heads towards the Profound Sky Ancestor.
Although the two of them had some grudges in the past, it was crucial for the safety of the Mu Abode to have an additional Heavenly Sovereign protecting it.
"I was too rash in the past, and I hope that everyone will not take it to heart."
The Profound Sky Ancestor awkwardly smiled. His attitude was surprisingly humble, without any arrogance of a Heavenly Sovereign.
Facing the apology of the Profound Sky Ancestor, Datura and the rest were a little surprised. After all, they knew the gap between them and a Heavenly Sovereign. The reason why the Profound Sky Ancestor would lower himself to be an Elder of their Mu Abode was because of Mu Chen's existence. As for them, they probably wouldn't even be in his eyes.
While they were shocked in their hearts, the Profound Sky Ancestor bitterly smiled in his heart. If it wasn't for the fact that Mu Chen possessed the Nine Divine Pulse, he wouldn't have shown any friendliness towards the Mu Abode. But judging from the current situation, Mu Chen's future was limitless, and he might even be able to step into the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm, which wasn't something that he could afford to offend.
Under the Profound Sky Ancestor's humble attitude, the higher-ups of the Mu Abode were startled. After all, Heavenly Sovereigns were usually high and mighty, so how could they speak to them in this manner? Thus, the atmosphere between the two sides had instantly eased up.
When Mu Chen saw this scene, he lightly smiled. Although he knew that the Profound Sky Ancestor was doing this for him to see, he was satisfied with the Profound Sky Ancestor's tactfulness.
As the atmosphere eased up, Ling Xi walked over and looked at Mu Chen. "I have already asked around, and some supreme forces have received invitations from the Ancient Buddha Clan. If I have not guessed incorrectly, the Bloodline Competition of the Ancient Buddha Clan is about to begin."
"Bloodline Competition?"
Mu Chen's expression slightly changed. Before he went into seclusion, he had instructed Ling Xi to pay attention to the Ancient Buddha Clan's movements.
"It's a grand event of the Ancient Buddha Clan that happens once every ten years, and it's extremely important. Thus, they will invite some supreme forces to attend."
Mu Chen lightly nodded his head. The reason why he made this trip to the Ancient Buddha Clan was to rescue his mother, and it's best for him to have a grand event at this moment.
Naturally, the Ancient Buddha Clan was an Ancient Clan with a deep foundation. So even if he had stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, he still had to make preparations.
Raising his head, Mu Chen looked at the surging clouds and slowly closed his eyes.
"Ancient Buddha Clan, you guys have been looking for me for so many years. This time, let us have a good fight!"
(To be continued.)
