The Greatlaw Continent, the Northern Region's Mu Abode's Headquarters
At the back of the headquarters, there was a huge Spiritual Array on a high platform. However, the Spiritual Light of this Spiritual Array was dim. Clearly, it was incomplete.
But today, a myriad foot of lustre burst out from the Spiritual Array and a violent spatial fluctuation gathered over, gradually opening up a spatial passage at the center of the Spiritual Array.
A silhouette slowly walked out from the passage.
"Looks like the Teleportation Array has been successfully connected."
The person who stepped out looked at the Spiritual Array under his feet, which was a sign that it was being activated. He immediately smiled.
That silhouette was naturally Mu Chen, who had rushed back from the Northern Spiritual Realm. He had spent a total of five days in the spatial passage before he arrived in the Northern Region.
However, Mu Chen was extremely satisfied with this speed. Otherwise, it would take at least two to three months for him to travel from one continent to another.
Whoosh!
When Mu Chen appeared, there were streaks of silhouettes that flew over in an orderly manner. When they got close, they revealed their silhouettes. They were all armored guards that emitted a dense aura.
"Who dares to barge into the Mu Abode's Headquarters?!"
Those guards hollered with Spiritual Energy exploding at the same time as they looked at Mu Chen.
"Pretty quick reaction."
Mu Chen smiled at the sight of this. He was satisfied with these guards. When he walked out of the Teleportation Array, his appearance was clearly revealed.
"It's the Abode Ruler!"
"This subordinate greets the Abode Ruler!"
Upon seeing his face, those guards, who originally had a sharp aura, were immediately startled. Immediately, they hurriedly knelt on one knee in the air.
"All of you, get up." Mu Chen casually smiled as he waved his sleeves and helped them up.
Rustle!
It was also at this moment that two beams descended from the sky with a majestic aura. They were Datura and the Profound Sky Ancestor.
"You're finally back." When Datura saw Mu Chen, she felt heavily relieved.
Mu Chen first smiled before he cupped his fists towards the Profound Sky Ancestor. "I've troubled Elder Profound Sky to protect my Mu Abode for the past few days."
When the Profound Sky Ancestor saw this, he immediately revealed a smile and passionately said, "What are you saying? I'm an Elder of the Mu Abode, and it's my duty to protect the Mu Abode."
When Mu Chen heard that, he smiled. One must know that the Profound Sky Ancestor was extremely unwilling when he forced him to become an Elder of the Mu Abode. So why did the Profound Sky Ancestor's attitude change?
Seeing the doubt in Mu Chen's eyes, the Profound Sky Ancestor awkwardly smiled. "The Abode Ruler's prestige in the Ancient Buddha Clan has spread throughout the Great Thousand World."
One must know that the Profound Sky Ancestor was also startled when he heard that news. Although he knew that Mu Chen wasn't weak, he never expected that the latter would flip the Ancient Buddha Clan upside down and even suppress the Elders of the Xuan and Mo Bloodlines.
Naturally, what made the Profound Sky Ancestor feel his scalp going numb was the fact that Mu Chen's mother had become the Grand Elder of the Ancient Buddha Clan.
With such a background, there wouldn't be many forces in the Great Thousand World that would dare to belittle Mu Chen and the Mu Abode. Thus, according to the Profound Sky Ancestor's thoughts, the Mu Abode would definitely have a bright future with such a background.
Mu Chen's gaze flickered. He naturally knew what the Profound Sky Ancestor was thinking, but he didn't mind it. If the Profound Sky Ancestor could become an Elder of the Mu Abode, then it would be beneficial to the Mu Abode.
Thus, his gaze turned gentle when he looked at the Profound Sky Ancestor before he turned to Datura. "How's the Mu Abode recently?"
The Mu Abode had completely occupied the Northern Region, and they were constantly extending their tentacles towards the Greatlaw Continent. This would definitely cause some of the other forces behind them to be fearful, so it was easy for them to cause trouble.
"There was some commotion in the beginning, but ever since the news of you being in the Ancient Buddha Clan spread out, the Greatlaw Continent has been quiet. Those forces behind them have also shown signs of retreating." Datura sighed. She initially thought that their Mu Abode would face intense competition, but she never expected that they would be suppressed by Mu Chen's actions in the Ancient Buddha Clan.
When Mu Chen heard her words, he also sighed. He knew that those forces weren't afraid of him, but his mother, the Grand Elder of the Ancient Buddha Clan.
Evidently, Mu Chen had underestimated the might of a Saint Grade Spiritual Array Ancestor.
But that was good as well. If those forces showed signs of retreating, there would be a day when their Northern Region would become the Overlord of the Greatlaw Continent. At that time, the Mu Abode would also be able to become a top-tiered force in the Great Thousand World.
Naturally, that was on the premise that Mu Chen could reach the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Mu Abode to become a top-tiered force.
"Jiu Jiu, what happened to you?"
Retracting his thoughts, Mu Chen's expression turned cold as he asked in a solemn voice.
"I'll get Elder Tianque to talk to you. I've already informed him." Datura replied.
When Datura spoke, a streak of light flew over and stopped before Mu Chen. It was Elder Tianque, who he had met when he came to the Great Heaven Domain to receive Jiu Jiu You.
"Jiu You Clan's Tianque greets the Abode Ruler."
Elder Tianque looked at the youth standing before Datura with a smear of excitement on his face before he sighed. One must know that the last time he came here, it was only the Great Heaven Domain, a top-tiered force in the Northern Region.
At that time, Elder Tianque was naturally looking down on the Great Heaven Domain. After all, the Jiu You Clan was a Divine Beast Clan with a foundation and strength that the Great Heaven Domain couldn't be compared to.
At that time, he probably never imagined that in just a few years, the Great Heaven Domain would become the Mu Abode and dominate the Northern Region. It was so much so that even the other top-tiered forces in the Greatlaw Continent wouldn't dare to compete with them. Furthermore, Mu Chen, who was initially just a puny Sovereign, had stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. Even a supreme force like the Ancient Buddha Clan couldn't do anything to him.
When he first met Mu Chen, Elder Tianque could still treat him as a junior. But right now, he had no choice but to address him as the Abode Ruler.
"Elder Tianque, you're too polite."
Mu Chen had a gentle expression on his face, but he didn't have the arrogance of a Heavenly Sovereign. He cupped his fists and returned the greeting.
Seeing that Mu Chen was still as gentle as before, Elder Tianque felt inwardly relieved. He knew that geniuses like Mu Chen were all prideful and arrogant. Back then, their Jiu You Clan had given Mu Chen a lot of face to get Jiu You to remove the Bloodlink Bond between him and Mu Chen. But judging from the current situation, Mu Chen clearly wasn't bothered about it.
"Jiu You has a good eyesight, you're better than us old fellows."
Elder Tianque bitterly smiled. If they knew that Mu Chen would have such achievements back then, why would they be bothered about the Bloodlink Bond between Mu Chen and Jiu You? On the contrary, they would be happy about it.
"Elder Tianque, let's talk about Jiu You." Mu Chen lightly smiled.
Speaking of official matters, Elder Tianque's face turned bitter as he sorrowfully said, "I hope that the Abode Ruler can save Jiu You and my Jiu You Clan!"
The gentle expression on Mu Chen's face gradually retracted and his eyes turned cold. "Don't worry. No matter what happens, I will not let anything happen to Jiu You."
"It's like this. Some time ago, when Jiu You returned, she pestered the Patriarch to seek an opportunity to evolve. She said that she's too weak right now, so she has to find an evolution path to awaken her Undying Bloodline and step into the ranks of the Supreme Divine Beasts." Elder Tianque bitterly smiled.
Mu Chen squinted his eyes. He knew that Jiu You must have done this because he had broken through to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, and she couldn't keep up with his footsteps. Thus, she returned to the Jiu You Clan to seek an evolution path.
Thinking about it, Mu Chen felt complicated in his heart. In the end, Jiu You did this because of him.
"The Patriarch was pestered by her, so he wanted to bring her to the Phoenix Clan. There's a Deification Pool in the Phoenix Clan, and the ancestors of the Heavenly Sovereigns of the avian Divine Beasts would enter the pool when they die. It's a great opportunity left behind by the ancestors, and an ancestor of our Jiu You Clan once passed away in the pool. Thus, there's a quota in our clan, and after a discussion, it was given to Jiu You."
As he spoke, Elder Tianque's face was filled with bitterness. "But that's where the problem lies. No one expected that the son of the Phoenix King of the Phoenix Clan would cultivate the Nine Circulation Saint Art. It's a Peerless Divine Ability that requires devouring the bloodline of a Supreme Divine Beast for every revolution. Right now, Huang Xuanzhi is already at the Eight Circulation Saint Art, so he has his eyes on Jiu You's Undying Bird Bloodline."
"Nine Circulation Saint Art?"
Mu Chen squinted his eyes. Such a Peerless Divine Ability was ranked amongst the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities, and he never expected that the son of the Phoenix King, Huang Xuanzhi, would be able to cultivate it.
"You must know that Jiu You is the hope of our Jiu You Clan. If her Undying Bird Bloodline is devoured by Huang Xuanzhi, she will never be able to take another step forward in her life. So she's practically crippled!" Elder Tianque gnashed his teeth.
"The Phoenix King has also said that if we're unwilling, Huang Xuanzhi will take it himself the moment we enter the Deification Pool. At that time, even Jiu You might not be able to keep her life!"
"Although we can find a protector after entering the Deification Pool, the only Heavenly Sovereign in our Jiu You Clan is only a Middle Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign, and it's impossible for him to protect Jiu You."
"Our Jiu You Clan has been trying our best to invite some Heavenly Sovereigns, but they're all afraid of the might of the Phoenix Clan, so none of them dared to accept our invitation."
"We, the Abyss Tribe, have been forced into a corner. Therefore, we have no choice but to come here and hope that the Mansion Master can save us for the sake of the Abyss!"
As he spoke, Elder Tianque's face was covered in tears and he was about to kneel.
However, a powerful force propped him up, so he raised his head and looked at Mu Chen's face. He was a little nervous in his heart, since he had no idea if Mu Chen would agree to it. Although he had a Bloodlink Bond with Jiu You, it was still the Phoenix Clan, a top-tiered force in the Great Thousand World that ordinary Heavenly Sovereigns wouldn't dare to provoke.
Under his gaze, Mu Chen finally revealed a trace of ridicule on his face.
"Take it yourself?"
Mu Chen's gaze turned towards Elder Tianque and his calm and cold voice caused Elder Tianque's body to tremble from excitement with his eyes turning red.
"Elder Tianque, bring me along. I'll see how capable Huang Xuanzhi is to take the bloodline!"
