Spiritual Energy surged in the hall like the roar of a dragon and the roar of a tiger, causing space to fluctuate.
Facing the Spiritual Energy fluctuation from Mu Chen's body, the Profound Sky Ancestor's countenance changed. Mu Chen was getting more and more terrifying, and according to his estimations, he probably wouldn't even be able to last ten moves against Mu Chen.
Datura's face turned cold as she asked, "Why would the Greatlaw Alliance provoke you at this time?
They were previously fearful of you. "
Mu Chen squinted his eyes. This was a little weird. After all, his mother was a Saint Grade Spiritual Array Ancestor. Although Mu Chen didn't want to use his backing to suppress others, the five Heavenly Sovereigns of the Greatlaw Alliance were clearly fearful of him.
But now, they still chose to go against him. Could it be that they were no longer fearful of his mother?
"Investigate this matter for the next two days. I want to know the motive of the Greatlaw Alliance."
Mu Chen gently knocked his finger on the table. Although he wasn't afraid of the other party, he wasn't a reckless person. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy could he be confident of victory.
Datura gently nodded her head.
The results of the Greatlaw Alliance's investigation swiftly came out. A day later, a large amount of information was placed before Mu Chen and he carefully read through it. An incense's time later, he retracted his gaze without any expression.
"I was wondering why they became so bold. So it turns out that there's someone behind this." Mu Chen faintly said.
"Who?" Nine Nether asked in a deep voice.
"According to the information, someone from the Ancient Maha Clan came to the five supreme forces a month ago." Mu Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"The Ancient Maha Clan?"
In the hall, Datura, Jiu You, and the Profound Sky Ancestor's faces changed. They never expected that the Ancient Maha Clan, which they had no contact with, would come to the Greatlaw Continent to cause trouble.
"We have nothing to do with the Ancient Maha Clan, so why would they suddenly make a move against you?" Datura asked.
Squinting his eyes, Mu Chen briefly pondered before he smiled. "The Primordial Immortal Assembly of the Ancient Maha Clan will be held in half a year."
Hearing Mu Chen's words, Datura and the other two were dumbfounded. They clearly had no idea what this had to do with their Mu Abode.
"The Ancient Maha Clan has the Primordial Immortal Body, and the Primordial Immortal Assembly is to choose a master for the Primordial Immortal Body."
Mu Chen calmly replied, "The Primordial Immortal Body was initially placed in the Ancient Maha Clan by the Immortal Emperor. But now, they are disloyal and view themselves as the owner of the Primordial Immortal Body. So how can they allow others to take it away?"
"I once heard from my mother that to ensure that the Primordial Immortal Body doesn't fall into the hands of others, the Ancient Maha Clan will investigate those that have cultivated the Immortal Golden Body before the Primordial Immortal Assembly and use all sorts of means to prevent them from participating in the Primordial Immortal Assembly."
"I believe that they must've set their sights on me because I've been in the limelight recently. They want to use these methods to obstruct me. However, due to my mother's existence, they don't dare to openly confront me. Hence, they instigated the five superpowers to form the Skynet Alliance to obstruct me."
"How despicable!" Jiu You coldly said with rage on her face.
The Ancient Maha Clan's means were truly despicable. Back then, the Immortal Emperor entrusted the Primordial Immortal Body to them for safekeeping and even spread the cultivation techniques of the Great Solar Undying Body and Immortal Golden Body in the Great Thousand World. It was to choose the most suitable person for the Primordial Immortal Body. But no one expected that the Ancient Maha Clan would treat it as their own. Not only did they fail to be a good custodian, but they even obstructed others from participating in the Primordial Immortal Assembly.
Their actions were simply despicable.
Datura's face was cold as she ridiculed, "The Primordial Immortal Body is one of the five Primal Celestial Bodies in the Great Thousand World, and it once created the Immortal Emperor, the strongest expert in the Great Thousand World. It's no wonder why the Ancient Maha Clan would disregard the reputation of the Ancient Maha Clan."
"Then, what should we do?
The Profound Sky Elder was also a little worried. "Looks like the Greatlaw Banquet doesn't come with good intentions."
A sharp light flickered in Mu Chen's eyes before he smiled. "Since the Greatlaw Alliance has already sent an invitation, then if my Mu Abode doesn't go, the reputation that I've built up with great difficulty will be ruined."
A chill flashed on his face. Initially, he intended to let the five supreme forces be at peace for a period of time and wait for him to reach the Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm before peacefully persuading them to retreat. That way, both parties would be able to retreat safely. But since those fellows were so impatient, then he couldn't be blamed for it.
"Spread the news that my Mu Abode will attend the banquet two days from now."
Mu Chen slowly closed his eyes, but his voice was cold. Since the other party wanted to provoke him, then he could only bring forward the Mu Abode's plan to dominate the Greatlaw Continent.
When the news of the Greatlaw Alliance inviting the Mu Abode's Ruler to the Greatlaw Banquet spread out, the entire Greatlaw Continent was shaken.
In the Greatlaw Continent, anyone could tell that along with Mu Chen's fame growing in the Great Thousand World, the Mu Abode's status had also risen. Their future was extraordinary.
Facing the Mu Abode that was growing stronger by the day, the supreme forces behind the Greatlaw Continent couldn't hold back any longer. Some time ago, there were even five supreme forces that formed the Greatlaw Alliance. This way, the Greatlaw Alliance occupied three-quarters of the Greatlaw Continent with an extraordinary momentum that even showed signs of suppressing the Mu Abode.
This caused those forces that had thoughts of joining the Mu Abode to stop. Evidently, they were afraid that the Mu Abode would decline under the Greatlaw Alliance's suppression.
Thus, when the news of the Tianluo Banquet spread out, practically all the forces in the Greatlaw Continent directed their gazes over. They knew that this Tianluo Banquet might decide the Overlord position of the Greatlaw Continent.
This was the greatest event in the Greatlaw Continent in the past tens of thousands of years, since it meant that a true Overlord would appear in the Greatlaw Continent.
However, whether it was the Greatlaw Alliance or the Mu Abode would depend on the outcome of the battle.
But no matter what, this was a grand event in the Greatlaw Continent, so they had to pay attention to it.
Greatlaw City, the headquarters of the Greatlaw Alliance
At the center of the Greatlaw City, there was a towering palace. At this moment, there were five silhouettes quietly seated in a chamber with a round table. Although there wasn't any Spiritual Energy circulating around them, there was a terrifying pressure being emitted from them, causing the space in the chamber to distort.
"Did the Mu Abode's Ruler, Mu Chen, accept the invitation?"
A purple-robed elder spoke with his brows knitted and hesitated, "Mu Chen is a ruthless figure. Even Huang Xuanzhi of the Phoenix Clan was defeated by him. Are we really going to provoke him?"
"Pellet Sun Ancestor, you're an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign, so why are you afraid of a Spirit Heavenly Sovereign?"
When the purple-robed elder's voice rang out, a middle-aged man with lightning flickering in his eyes laughed mockingly from the side.
The purple-robed elder swept a glance at him and sneered, "Spirit Heavenly Sovereign?
You, Venerable Violet Thunder, go and give it a try. If you can escape from him, I won't dare to speak before you in the future. "
Hearing those words, the middle-aged man was briefly stunned before he snorted and did not dare to reply. Even Huang Xuanzhi was defeated by Mu Chen, so one could see how terrifying the latter was. Venerable Violet Thunder also knew that he wasn't Mu Chen's opponent in a one-on-one battle.
"Alright, the two of you can stop fighting."
A cold voice suddenly resounded in the chamber, causing the temperature in the chamber to drop. Hearing that voice, the Pellet Sun Ancestor and Venerable Violet Thunder also stopped and looked at the main seat with a trace of fear in their eyes.
A black-robed man was enveloped by an eerie aura. His face was pale, and his eyes were deeply sunken. His greyish-white eyes seemed to contain an aura of death, causing others to tremble in fear.
That black-robed man was the Ghost Emperor of the Spiritual Ghost Gate. His cultivation had reached the Middle Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm, and he was also the strongest amongst the five of them.
The Ghost Emperor swept his gaze at the four of them and coldly said, "You guys have seen the Mu Abode's attitude. Mu Chen is clearly aiming for the Greatlaw Continent's Overlord position. If we don't destroy the Mu Abode's ambition while we're still able to deal with him, I'm afraid that the Greatlaw Continent won't have anything to do with us in the future."
The Patriarch of the Pellet Sun Sect and the other three nodded with a solemn expression.
"But Mu Chen's mother is the Grand Elder of the Ancient Buddha Clan," said the Pellet Sun Ancestor.
"Don't worry about it. The Ancient Maha Clan has already said that they won't allow the Ancient Buddha Clan to interfere. With the Ancient Maha Clan's support, there's nothing for us to worry about."
The Ghost Emperor coldly continued, "Furthermore, we have no intention of killing Mu Chen. As long as he dares to come, we will heavily injure him and let him rest for a year. After that, we will have completed our mission, and the Ancient Maha Clan will support us in ruling the Greatlaw Continent."
The Pellet Sun Ancestor's eyes flashed with fervor. Ruling over the Greatlaw Continent was their ambition, and if they had the support of the Ancient Maha Clan, then those other forces that coveted the Greatlaw Continent could only retract their thoughts.
"Since that's the case, then let's do it!"
The four of them exchanged a glance before they spoke out.
They did not consider the reaction of the Mu Abode and Mu Chen. After all, the Mu Abode's foundation was weak, and they were relying on Mu Chen. Although Mu Chen was powerful, they didn't believe that Mu Chen could confront five of them by himself!
"Hmph, if you want to blame someone, blame your ambition, Mu Chen. The Greatlaw Continent isn't something that you can dip your finger in!"
