The mountain behind the Mu Abode
Mu Chen quietly sat on a mountain peak as boundless Spiritual Energy rippled around him like an ocean. Behind him, there was a colossal figure that was ten thousand feet tall. As it breathed in and out, the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth flowed through its nose like a current. Faint rumbling noises could be heard as it emitted a majestic aura.
Mu Chen's cultivation lasted for an entire day before he stopped. When the sun rose from the east, he slowly opened his eyes. Two myriad-foot spiritual lights shot out from his black pupils, tearing the heavens and earth apart.
The Immortal Golden Body behind him fluctuated slightly before dissipating.
Sensing the dissipation of the Immortal Golden Body, Mu Chen could vaguely sense that his Immortal Golden Body had reached greater mastery, and the might of it had also reached the pinnacle in his hands.
That also meant that the Immortal Golden Body had reached its limit, and if he wanted to improve it in the future, he would have to improve his own strength.
"Your Immortal Golden Body has already reached the point of perfection."
Suddenly, a voice resounded from his back. When Mu Chen turned around, he saw Qing Yanjing looking at his Immortal Golden Body with interest.
Nodding his head, Mu Chen knew that if it was just the Immortal Golden Body, he would probably be approaching the Heavenly Emperor's level.
"With your Immortal Golden Body, you're qualified to compete for the Primordial Immortal Body." Qing Yanjing smiled.
Hearing the words "Primordial Immortal Body", a smear of fire flashed across Mu Chen's eyes. That was his ultimate dream. Ever since he had started cultivating the "Great Solar Undying Body", he had been looking forward to the ultimate form of the "Primordial Immortal Body".
"But the Primordial Immortal Body is being safeguarded by the Ancient Maha Clan, so it won't be easy to obtain it." Mu Chen sighed.
"Back then, the Immortal Emperor only gave the Primordial Immortal Body to the Ancient Maha Clan for safekeeping, and they're only the custodians. They're not the true owners of the Primordial Immortal Body. According to the rules left behind by the Immortal Emperor, the Ancient Maha Clan will host a Primordial Immortal Assembly every few years, and anyone that has cultivated the Immortal Golden Body is qualified to participate. At that time, the Primordial Immortal Body will choose its owner."
"But the Ancient Maha Clan has started to consider themselves as the possessors of the Primordial Immortal Body. They're trying all sorts of methods to obstruct other cultivators of the Immortal Golden Body so that their clansmen can obtain the acknowledgement of the Primordial Immortal Body. But it's a pity that they haven't succeeded." Qing Yanjing sneered with ridicule.
"They've guarded it for tens of thousands of years. Why would they hand it over to an outsider for no reason?"
Mu Chen smiled. He wasn't surprised by this. After all, he knew how attractive the Primordial Immortal Body was. Even a clan like the Ancient Maha Clan couldn't resist it.
After all, it was one of the five Primal Celestial Bodies, and at the same time, it had created the Immortal Emperor.
"But no matter how unwilling they are, I will definitely head to the Ancient Maha Clan when the Primordial Immortal Assembly opens. Since the Immortal Emperor wants to choose the best owner for the Primordial Immortal Body, then I will naturally fight for it." Mu Chen's eyes flickered as he said.
From the Great Solar Undying Body to the greater mastery of the Immortal Golden Body, he had paid countless hardships for the Primordial Immortal Body. So no matter how unwilling the Ancient Maha Clan was, he had to fight for it with all his might.
Back then, the Heavenly Emperor had told him that he couldn't fight for it with the Ancient Maha Clan before he was strong enough.
"Since my son has such ambition, then I will naturally support you. At that time, you can fight for it. If you really obtain the acknowledgement of the Primordial Immortal Body, and the Ancient Maha Clan dares to bully my son, then I will definitely not let them off." Qing Yanjing said domineeringly as she caressed Mu Chen's hair.
Hearing her words, Mu Chen smiled and nodded his head, "Then, I'll have to thank you, mother."
Just as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. He clenched his hand and a jade talisman appeared in his hand. The jade talisman shined brightly and then shattered. Spirit light rose up and turned into a line of words before him.
Mu Chen frowned his brows as he looked over, before his face drastically changed.
"Jiu You is in trouble, return to Heaven's Net immediately."
Looking at the words, Mu Chen squinted his eyes and suddenly stood up with a pale expression. He had left this jade talisman for Mandala, telling her to crush the talisman if she encountered any emergency, and he would be able to sense it.
Evidently, Jiu You must have encountered something troublesome for Datura to send this message.
"What happened to Jiu You?"
A ferocious light flickered in Mu Chen's eyes. He had an unusual feeling for Jiu You. Although they weren't lovers, they were like family.
Back then, when Mu Chen met her in the Northern Spiritual Realm, the two of them were connected by the Bloodlink Bond. It could be said that Jiu You was the one who guided Mu Chen's growth.
Before he could take charge, Jiu You had been protecting him and providing him with protection. Therefore, Mu Chen had always maintained a trace of gratitude and respect for Jiu You in his heart.
This was the reason why Mu Chen felt so emotional when he saw the message.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Mu Chen's expression, Qing Yanjing squinted her eyes and asked. In Qing Yanjing's eyes, Mu Chen had a firm heart and wouldn't be easily moved by anything. But for him to have such an emotional expression, it must be something important.
"Mother, is the Teleportation Array to the Greatlaw Continent ready?"
Stretching his hand out, Mu Chen erased the words before looking at Qing Yanjing and solemnly asked.
After a brief pondering, Qing Yanjing replied, "Generally speaking, it would take another five days. But since you're in such a rush, I'll be able to get it done in two days."
Generally speaking, with Qing Yanjing's identity as a Saint Grade Spiritual Array Ancestor, even top-tiered forces wouldn't dare to rush her. But for her son, she naturally intended to do her best.
"Then, I'll have to trouble mother." Mu Chen said gratefully.
With a gentle smile, Qing Yanjing replied, "There's no need to say such words to mother."
After a brief pause, she looked at Mu Chen. "What's wrong?
Do you need my help? "
"Something happened to an important friend of mine, but I'm not too sure about it. I have to return to the Greatlaw Continent first, but I will deal with it. I won't disturb mother and father's reunion for the time being." Mu Chen smiled.
"Because you made him the ruler of the Hundred Spirit Continent, your father has been extremely busy recently."
Qing Yanjing rebuked, but she did not speak any further. She turned to Mu Chen and smiled. "But since you're confident, then I won't say anything. I'm afraid that all the top-tiered forces in the Great Thousand World know that you're my son. So even if you have a conflict with them, they will have a sense of propriety. At the very least, their Saint Heavenly Sovereigns won't make a move."
Mu Chen nodded his head. Although he did not intend to use his mother's fame to act like a tyrant, the relationship between mother and son could not be changed. Thus, it could be considered as a background for him to intimidate those that he couldn't deal with for the time being.
Although Mu Chen was self-reliant, he wasn't a fool.
Two days later, in the back mountain of the Mu Abode
Within the gigantic valley, there was a Spiritual Array that was roughly a thousand feet in size. Within the Spiritual Array, there were extremely terrifying spatial ripples that caused the surrounding space to continuously distort.
The Spiritual Array had millions and millions of spiritual seals that vaguely appeared, revealing its complicated structure. At this moment, even Mu Chen couldn't look at this Spiritual Array.
"Truly worthy of being a Saint Grade Spiritual Array Ancestor!"
Standing outside the Spiritual Array, Mu Chen couldn't help sighing as he looked at the scale of the Teleportation Spiritual Array.
Standing behind him, Qing Yanjing, Ling Xi, and Long Xiang were all present. It was so much so that even Mu Feng, who had been extremely busy, took some time out to send them off. As for Tang Qian 'er, she had already bid her farewell to Mu Chen and returned to Wanhuang Lingyuan.
"Stinking brat, you have to be careful!"
Mu Feng knew that Mu Chen had encountered an emergency, so he was a little worried. After all, the Great Thousand World was filled with experts, and it wasn't a small Hundred Spirit Continent.
"Dad, do you still think that I'm the same as when I left the Northern Spiritual Realm?" Mu Chen helplessly smiled. Back then, when he left the Northern Spiritual Realm, Mu Feng had also instructed him in the same manner.
"When the matters in the Hundred Spirit Continent settle down, I will head to the Greatlaw Continent with your dad to take a look at your Mu Abode." Qing Yanjing smiled.
"Then, I will prepare to welcome you."
With a smile, Mu Chen took a deep breath and nodded his head towards Qing Yanjing, Mu Feng, and Ling Xi before stepping into the Spiritual Array.
Waving his hand, boundless Spiritual Energy poured into the Teleportation Array. Instantly, a massive spatial fluctuation burst out and the heavens and earth swiftly distorted before a spatial passage was formed behind Mu Chen.
"Dad, Mom, I'll be leaving."
Mu Chen waved his hand at them and abruptly turned around. His pitch-black pupils instantly turned sharp as he looked at the spatial passage and stepped into it.
At the same time, he clenched his fists.
"Jiu You, don't let anything happen to you!"
"In the past, you've been protecting me. This time, let me protect you!"
The massive teleportation array burst with a myriad foot of light, and Mu Chen's silhouette disappeared within the dense light.
