Half a month later, the higher hierarchy of the Mu Abode was gathered outside the Mu Abode's Main Hall.
Mu Chen stood with his hands behind his back. A brief moment later, he turned around and looked at Datura and the Profound Sky Ancestor.
"After I leave, the Mu Abode will still be managed by Datura. If there's an enemy, then I will have to trouble Elder Profound Sky to make a move." Mu Chen smiled towards the two of them.
The Profound Sky Ancestor smiled and cupped his hands. "Abode Ruler, rest assured. Since this old man is an Elder of the Mu Abode, then I will naturally do my duty."
Datura nodded her head as she looked at Mu Chen with her bright eyes. "You have to be careful."
Although Mu Chen had stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, and even she could only look up to him, she knew Mu Chen's objective this time. That was one of the Five Ancient Clans of the Great Thousand World, the Ancient Buddha Clan!
The foundation of such an Ancient Clan was unimaginable, and even ordinary Heavenly Sovereigns would be fearful when facing such a colossus.
Nodding his head, Mu Chen smiled. "Rest assured, I know what I'm doing."
How could he not know how powerful the Ancient Buddha Clan was? But he also had his own plans for this trip.
"Let's go."
Seeing that everything was settled, Mu Chen did not delay and turned to Ling Xi and Long Xiang. The two of them had stayed in the Ancient Buddha Clan for a period of time, and bringing them along would definitely save them some trouble.
Ling Xi and Long Xiang nodded their heads in agreement.
Mu Chen walked towards the Teleportation Spiritual Array with the two of them following closely behind. As the three of them stood within, boundless Spiritual Energy gradually gathered over.
As the Spiritual Energy filled his eyes, Mu Chen raised his head and muttered, "Ancient Buddha Clan, I'm coming."
Since the day he stepped out of the Northern Spiritual Realm, he had been working hard towards this day. For this, who knows how many hardships he had suffered and how many life and death situations he had gone through?
But the tempering of life and death had paid off. The youth that walked out of the Northern Spiritual Realm back then had stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, stepping into the pinnacle of the Great Thousand World.
And now, it was time to settle some of the grudges that had accumulated over the years.
As the dazzling spiritual light whistled over, Mu Chen's group of three disappeared from the Teleportation Spiritual Array in the next instant.
Buddha Continent, one of the supercontinents of the Great Thousand Worlds.
As a supercontinent, there should be countless forces. But in the entire Buddha Continent, there was only a single force, the Ancient Buddha Clan.
To name the continent after Buddha, one could tell that the Ancient Buddha Clan has treated this continent as their home. However, their domineering actions did not attract any dissatisfaction.
That's because they were the Ancient Buddha Clan, one of the most ancient supreme forces in the Great Thousand World. Thus, they possessed the qualifications and strength to treat a supreme force as their own.
In the center of the Buddha Continent, there was a majestic city. This city was called Buddha City, and it was the center of the continent.
As the central city of the Buddha Continent, Buddha City has never lacked popularity. But recently, the popularity of this city has reached its peak in the past decade.
That's because the various forces have all rushed over to watch the Ancient Buddha Clan's Bloodline Competition! "
In the center of Stupa City stood a majestic mountain. On the mountain was an incomparably huge square. At that moment, there were figures constantly descending from the sky on the square. It was an extremely lively sight.
"The Ancient Buddha Clan is truly formidable. The rallying power is truly unparalleled."
At this moment, there were three silhouettes standing at the edge of the plaza with the youth leading them faintly smiling.
The three of them were naturally Mu Chen, Ling Xi, and Long Xiang, who had spent half a month to rush over from the Greatlaw Continent.
At this moment, Mu Chen sighed. He realised that every single descending silhouette had a majestic fluctuation that could cause the heavens and earth to tremble.
Without an exception, all of them were Heavenly Sovereigns.
In any other place in the Great Thousand World, they could be considered as overlords. But here, they were nothing special.
"Those that can receive the invitation of the Ancient Buddha Clan are practically all top-tiered supreme forces in the Great Thousand World. There are also many weaker supreme forces that came to establish a good relationship with the Ancient Buddha Clan." Ling Xi said from the side.
"I'm afraid that our Mu Abode can be considered as one of those weaker supreme forces, right?"
Mu Chen smiled. It was because of him that their Mu Abode could be considered as a supreme force. In terms of foundation, they were probably weaker than many supreme forces here.
Long Xiang snorted, "If the Mistress comes out, then our Mu Abode will have an existence comparable to a Saint Heavenly Sovereign. Even amongst the supreme forces in the Great Thousand World, that's a top-tiered existence."
Mu Chen shook his head with a smile before raising his head to look at the sky above the majestic mountain. There was a massive spatial gate flickering with lustre. In that spatial gate was the Pagoda Realm, which was also the location of the Ancient Clan.
That was the core of the Ancient Buddha Clan.
In the entire Pagoda Continent, the clansmen of the Pagoda Clan could only be considered as a Branch Clan. Thus, who knew how many people from the Branch Clans wanted to enter the Pagoda Realm to obtain the identity of the Ancient Buddha Clan.
Outside the spatial gate, huge spirit boats could be seen shuttling between the two worlds. From time to time, they would land on the vast plaza and pick up some guests before flying to the Pagoda Realm.
The spatial gate was protected by a massive array that only the boats of the Ancient Buddha Clan could enter. Otherwise, not even a Heavenly Sovereign would be able to enter.
"The threshold of the Ancient Buddha Clan's gate isn't low." Ling Xi swept her gaze around and knitted her brows.
That's because according to the rules of the Ancient Buddha Clan, those boats would only bring those with invitations. As for those that didn't have invitations, they could only wait till the end.
Although some of the super forces that had come here on their own were somewhat dissatisfied, they could only suppress their dissatisfaction in their hearts.
"Then let's wait. We're not here to give them a gift. If they know our identity, then I'm afraid that we won't even be able to enter."
Mu Chen faintly smiled with a calm expression. His black pupils stared at the spatial gate with a chill in the depths of his eyes.
"Young Master, is it really appropriate for us to come to the Ancient Buddha Clan like this?"
Long Xiang hesitated before he worriedly said. After all, he knew the Ancient Buddha Clan's attitude towards Mu Chen. If they discovered his identity here, then even if Mu Chen had stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, he wouldn't be able to escape with the Ancient Buddha Clan's strength.
Hearing her words, Mu Chen lightly smiled, "Rest assured, I'm not here to walk into a trap."
Seeing Mu Chen's calm attitude, Long Xiang felt relieved. He knew Mu Chen's character. If he wasn't prepared, then he wouldn't easily place himself in danger.
Just as they were speaking, streams of light suddenly appeared in the distant sky. In the end, several figures descended from the sky and landed on the square under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
As the light scattered, an enchanting and beautiful figure appeared in front of the numerous gazes, instantly attracting many stunned gazes.
That beautiful figure was dressed in a scarlet long dress, which perfectly accentuated her exquisite and delicate figure. It was as dazzling as fire. This was especially the case for her bewitching face. Her eyes seemed to be emitting various kinds of charm, causing one's heart to sway.
However, although her appearance was bewitching, her pair of phoenix-like eyes were slightly cold. The combination of coldness and bewitchment gave her a different kind of charm.
Looking at this bewitching woman, even those Heavenly Sovereigns couldn't help taking a few more glances at her.
However, when their gazes clearly saw the burning flame lines on the dress of the enchanting figure, their expressions turned cold. After which, they withdrew their gazes without batting an eyelid.
That's because that blazing rune represented a supreme force that not even the Ancient Buddha Clan dared to underestimate.
Endless Fire Territory
"I never expected that even the Endless Fire Territory would send someone over. In the past, they have never participated in the Bloodline Competition of the Ancient Buddha Clan. I wonder why they're here this time?"
Facing all the gazes that were gathered over, the bewitching silhouette paid no attention to them. She brought her party towards the centre of the plaza.
When the welcoming deacons of the Ancient Buddha Clan saw her, their faces slightly changed. They immediately retracted the arrogance that they had when facing others and put on a smile as they welcomed her.
However, just as they were about to meet, the red dressed lady's somewhat cold phoenix eyes swept across the crowd. Suddenly, she paused. After which, everyone saw a surprised smile appear on her icy cold pretty face.
Shortly after, everyone saw the red-dressed lady tossing aside the attendant of the Ancient Buddha Clan and walked to the edge of the plaza before stopping before a youth.
"Mu Chen, you're really here."
Looking at the bewitching lady before him, Mu Chen had a heartfelt smile on his face. "Xiao Xiao, it has been a long time."
The person before him was Xiao Xiao, who he had not seen for a long time. Evidently, she was representing the Endless Fire Territory this time.
Seeing Mu Chen, Xiao Xiao's face, which had always been cold, became much more gentle and lively. She pursed her lips into a smile before taking a step to the side, revealing the person behind her.
It was a white-robed old man with his sleeves fluttering in the wind. His face was aged, but he looked extremely benevolent. His eyes emanated wisdom, as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
Holding onto the old man's arm, Xiao Xiao gave a sweet smile towards Mu Chen. "Mu Chen, this is my Grand Master, the teacher of my father."
When Mu Chen heard her words, his heart trembled as he looked at the benevolent old man. The Yan Emperor, whose name shook the Great Thousand World and was admired by countless experts, was actually the disciple of this old man?!
His heart trembled, but his expression was grave as he bowed towards the old man.
"Junior Mu Chen pays his respects to Senior."
