"Great Thousand Golden Invitation?"
Mu Chen muttered to himself as he looked at the four ancient words on the card. His eyes were filled with doubt. Clearly, he didn't know what this item represented.
"I never expected that I would have the opportunity to receive this Great Thousand Golden Invitation." While Mu Chen was feeling puzzled, Qing Yanjing flew over and waved the golden invitation in her hand.
"What is this?" Mu Chen asked in puzzlement.
"In ancient times, the battle between the Immortal Emperor and Tian Xie ended the Fiend Clans' invasion of the Great Thousand World, and the outcome of that battle was that Tian Xie was sealed in the North Desolate Grave."
"However, Tian Xie's vitality was unimaginably terrifying. Although he was sealed in the battle with the Immortal Emperor, he wasn't completely killed."
"So after that, the Great Thousand Palace would activate the Great Thousand Alliance Treaty every thousand years and send out the Great Thousand Invitation, inviting all the pinnacle powerhouses in the Great Thousand World to gather in the North Desolate Grave and activate the seal to erase Tian Xie's vitality."
"Only Heavenly Sovereigns are qualified to receive the Great Thousand Invitation. It's separated into gold, silver, and iron grades, corresponding to the three realms of Heavenly Sovereigns. Only Saint Heavenly Sovereigns can receive the golden invitation."
As he spoke, Qin Tian's expression turned grave as he continued, "According to the Immortal Emperor's prediction, as long as the seal is activated for 49,000 years, it will be able to erase Tian Xie."
"Up until now, the Great Thousand Palace has sent out 48 Great Thousand Invitations, and this will be the 49th."
Hearing those words, Mu Chen squinted his eyes. At this moment, he could feel the importance of the Great Thousand Invitation.
"That Tian Xie is actually so terrifying?
Even the seal that the Immortal Emperor set up at the cost of his life requires such a long time to completely destroy it? "Mu Chen gasped, unable to conceal the shock in his voice.
Qin Tian pondered for a brief moment before he bitterly said, "Tian Xie's strength is unimaginable. So no matter what, we have to kill him in the seal. Otherwise, the moment the seal fails, it will be a calamity for the lifeforms in the Great Thousand World."
"After all, we no longer have the Immortal Emperor."
Standing to the side, Qing Yanjing, Futu Xuan, and the Great Underworld Ancestor wore grave expressions. They knew how cruel it would be for the Great Thousand World if that happened.
"If Tian Xie is that powerful, will the Fiend Clans try to destroy the seal?" Mu Chen asked with a grave expression.
"They naturally want to interfere, but the North Desolate Grave is sealed by the Immortal Emperor. Only the lifeforms of the Great Thousand World can approach it, and the Fiend Clans can't enter."
Nodding his head, Qin Tian narrowed his eyes. "But the Fiend Clans have been trying to restrain Yan Emperor and Wu Zu. That's also one of the reasons."
Mu Chen's face turned grave. He finally understood the meaning of the Great Thousand Alliance Treaty. It was the reason why the Great Thousand World could enjoy peace.
Compared to the big picture, everything else could be placed aside.
"When will the Great Thousand Alliance Treaty start?" Qing Yanjing asked with a grave expression.
"Three months from now."
A dazzling light surged in Qin Tian's eyes as he clenched his fists. Traces of heart-palpitating killing intent radiated from his body. "This time, I must completely eliminate this scourge of the Great Thousand World!"
Mu Chen nodded his head. Tian Xie was too powerful, and if he wasn't eliminated, then everyone in the Great Thousand World wouldn't be able to eat and sleep in peace.
This was a volcano that would sweep through the entire Great Thousand World the moment it erupts.
"Will all the Heavenly Sovereigns of the Great Thousand World receive the invitation?"
Qin Tian nodded his head. "All the Heavenly Sovereigns will receive it, but less than half of them will head for the North Desolate Grave. After all, they still have to keep an eye on the Fiend Clans."
"That's the greatest event in the Great Thousand World."
Mu Chen sighed. Nearly half of the Heavenly Sovereigns in the Great Thousand World would be gathered together, so how majestic would that be?
Compared to that, the scenes that Mu Chen had seen in the past paled in comparison.
"It's truly a grand event, since this concerns the peace of the Great Thousand World. Thus, we have to place all our grudges aside."
Qin Tian looked in the direction of Maha Tian's party and continued, "This is the reason why I rushed over to prevent a war between your three clans."
The Ancient Maha Clan, Ancient Buddha Clan, and Ancient Spirit Clan could be considered as heavyweights in the Great Thousand World. So it's unbearable for them to be exhausted in a war.
Mu Chen also understood this point, so his expression turned solemn. "Senior Qin Tian, rest assured. Today's matter has been settled, and I've gained some benefits. In the future, even if Maha Tian wants to target me, I will restrain myself."
Regardless of anything, the Primordial Immortal Body was in his hands, and the Ancient Maha Clan could only swallow it down. Thus, there's no need for him to be too overbearing.
Nodding his head in gratification, Qin Tian replied, "It's for the best that you can consider the big picture. But rest assured, if Maha Tian goes overboard, my Great Thousand Palace will not sit by and watch. After all, you're the Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace."
Mu Chen smiled. Maha Tian might be prideful, but he's not a fool. After today's matter, he should know that he, Mu Chen, isn't someone that his Ancient Maha Clan can bully.
"My mission has been completed, so I will not be staying any longer. After all, time is pressing, and I still have to send invitations to the other Saint Heavenly Sovereigns." Qin Tian chatted with Mu Chen for a long time before he bade his farewell.
Mu Chen knew that this was an important matter, so he naturally wouldn't stay any longer and bade his farewell.
"I hope that we can chat again in the North Desolate Grave three months from now." Qin Tian smiled as he turned into a streak of light and soared into the sky with a majestic aura spreading out.
Looking at Qin Tian's silhouette, Qing Yanjing, Futu Xuan, and the Great Underworld Ancestor wore complicated expressions. "A storm is brewing …"
Tian Xie was akin to a deity to the Fiend Clans, so they must know the importance of this Great Thousand Alliance Treaty. Thus, this Great Thousand Alliance Treaty wouldn't be peaceful.
The Fiend Clans would definitely try their best to destroy the seal and rescue the Heavenly Evil Monarch.
Mu Chen nodded his head. Although Qin Tian did not reveal too many details, how could they not sense how important this Great Thousand Alliance Treaty was in Qin Tian's heart?
Otherwise, there's no need for the Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand World to make a move, even if it's a Great Thousand Golden Invitation.
"The Fiend Clans are eyeing the North Desolate Grave, and I never expected that there would be such a terrifying threat in the North Desolate Grave." Mu Chen sighed. It was fortunate that he had stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, or he wouldn't have the qualifications to come in contact with such a secret.
"The North Desolate Grave is a place that not even the lifeforms of the Great Thousand World are allowed to step into. It's also known as the Myriad Tombs, and there's a group of Tomb Guardians. They're the direct subordinates of the Immortal Emperor, and their leader is known as the Undying Lord. He's powerful, and I'm afraid that he's not inferior to Yan Emperor or Wu Zu. However, he has been guarding the North Desolate Grave for his entire life, and he has never stepped into the Great Thousand World. Thus, he's not famous." Futu Xuan explained.
"The Myriad Tombs … the Undying Lord …"
Mu Chen squinted his eyes with a grave expression. The Great Thousand World was truly filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
"If the Fiend Clans invade, can our Great Thousand World defend against them?" Mu Chen suddenly asked as he suddenly recalled something.
Exchanging a glance with Futu Xuan, Qing Yanjing replied, "In terms of overall strength, the Great Thousand World isn't any weaker than the ancient times. It might even be stronger. Yan Emperor, Wu Zu, the Demon Slayer King, Qin Tian, the Azure Sword Saint, and the Undying Lord all stand at the pinnacle of the world. The Five Ancient Clans also have their own foundations, and the other supreme forces are also emerging."
"So if the Fiend Clans invade, our Great Thousand World isn't powerless."
"But the problem is that the Great Thousand World doesn't have a second Immortal Emperor. You should know that the Immortal Emperor has surpassed the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm. So as long as we can activate the seal and kill Tian Xie, the Fiend Clans won't be able to achieve their goal."
Gently nodding his head, Mu Chen muttered, "I'm afraid that the Fiend Clans are also aware of this."
It was precisely because of this situation that the Fiend Clans wouldn't watch as the Heavenly Evil Monarch was sealed and killed by them. Thus, there's a high possibility of a bloodbath in this Great Thousand Alliance Treaty.
Facing such a great force, even Mu Chen felt a great pressure at this moment.
While Mu Chen's heart was churning with emotions, a tender and warm jade-like hand gently grasped onto his palm. Turning his head around, he saw Luo Li's exquisite porcelain-like face, which was as bright as jade.
The latter winked at him with a smile, which made Mu Chen's heart gradually calm down. His tightly knitted brows had also loosened up.
Clenching his hand, he held Luo Li's small hand in his palm. Raising his head, he looked at the setting sun hanging in the sky. The clouds were like flames, and his pitch-black eyes reflected the flames.
With someone so beautiful around him, no matter how ferocious the Fiend Clans were, if they tried to destroy everything, then Mu Chen wouldn't be afraid to fight. He would even protect her with his life.
"I've worked hard for decades to come this far. So how can I let you guys destroy the fruits of my efforts?"
"If the Fiend Clans come, then it's just a battle."
