The black plaza stood solemnly among the tombs, emitting a vast and heavy aura. Numerous black bronze pavilions stood quietly on this huge plaza.
Mu Chen's group of three wore grave expressions as they looked at the plaza, especially Qing Yanjing. As a Saint Grade Spiritual Array Ancestor, her attainments in Spiritual Arrays were ranked amongst the top in the entire Great Thousand World. Thus, she could clearly sense the terrifying Spiritual Array formed by the bronze pavilions.
That Spiritual Array had already exceeded the Saint Grade.
"If such a Spiritual Array is activated, even a Saint Heavenly Sovereign would be annihilated."
Qing Yanjing sighed with deep admiration in her tone. The Immortal Emperor was truly outstanding back then, and it was no wonder why he could save the Great Thousand World.
Nodding his head, Mu Chen said, "Thus, we can tell how terrifying Tian Xie is. Even a Spiritual Array of this level requires 49,000 years to erase his life imprint."
Qing Yanjing's gaze turned grave as she sighed, "That's why we can't let that calamity out."
As they spoke, the two grey-robed guardians had already descended towards a mountain by the side of the black plaza. A huge black palace stood at the top of the mountain, looking like a giant primordial beast.
Mu Chen and the other two landed before the giant hall. Raising their gazes, they saw the three bold and vigorous words that were akin to a horned dragon.
Great Thousand Palace
Looking at the Great Thousand Palace, Mu Chen's gaze flickered. He could vaguely sense a sense of danger coming from this palace, as if this palace was a living being.
"This Great Thousand Palace is a Saint Grade Peerless Saint Artifact, and it's the ultimate treasure of the Great Thousand Palace. It can travel through space, and in terms of might, it can be ranked in the top ten in the Great Thousand World. It's not at all inferior to our Ancient Buddha Clan's Ancestral Pagoda." Qing Yanjing said.
Mu Chen instantly understood and inwardly smacked his lips. He had seen the Ancient Buddha Clan's Ancestral Pagoda and the Ancient Maha Clan's Yin-Yang Maha Gourd, so he knew how terrifying those Peerless Saint Artifacts were. Even a Saint Heavenly Sovereign would be fearful of them.
It looked like the Great Thousand Palace was serious this time to move such a treasure here.
When the Great Thousand Palace opened, Mu Chen and Qing Yanjing exchanged a glance before the three of them stepped in.
Just as they stepped into the palace, they felt the scene before their eyes change. The interior of the great hall was vast and spacious, and the lights flickered. In front of them, circles of stone seats appeared. The stone seats formed a ring, and then they went downwards in succession. It was like an arena.
However, the lower they went, the fewer seats there were. Furthermore, the colour of the seats had also changed from grey to silver and gold. The difference in treatment was obvious.
Evidently, the lower they were, the higher their status would be.
At this moment, there were many silhouettes quietly seated on the stone seats with powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations around them. Evidently, all of them were Heavenly Sovereigns.
However, those Heavenly Sovereigns that could be known as Dao Ancestors in the Great Thousand World had become ordinary in the Great Thousand Palace. They had retracted their prideful bearing.
Mu Chen's gaze did not stop at the other seats, but the golden seats at the bottom. He saw a familiar silhouette sitting there, the Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace, Qin Tian.
When Mu Chen, King Mu, and Holy Maiden Luo Li stepped into the Great Thousand Palace, Qin Tian had sensed them, so he raised his head and warmly said, "Haha. Grand Elder Qing Yanjing, King Mu, and Holy Maiden Luo Li, please forgive me for not going out to welcome you."
Mu Chen, Qing Yanjing, and Luo Li also bowed their heads towards the Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand World.
"The three of you, please take your seats."
Qin Tian smiled as he pointed towards the golden seats beside him.
The moment those words were spoken, a commotion broke out in the hall and many gazes were directed over with indescribable emotions in their eyes. Although the position of the stone throne seemed simple, it represented one's status in the Great Thousand World to a certain degree.
According to the rules, the ordinary seats were for Spirit Heavenly Sovereigns, while the silver seats were for Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns. As for the golden seats, only Saint Heavenly Sovereigns or the rulers of top-tiered forces were qualified to sit on them.
Among Mu Chen's group of three, Qing Yanjing was a Saint Grade Spiritual Array Ancestor and the Grand Elder of the Ancient Buddha Clan. So she was naturally qualified to sit on the golden seats, while Luo Li was the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Spirit Clan. She represented the Ancient Spirit Clan, so she was naturally qualified as well.
On the other hand, although Mu Chen's Mu Abode dominated the entire Greatlaw Continent, his foundation was still shallow. Although he had caused a huge commotion in the Ancient Maha Clan, many of them had been in seclusion for years, so they weren't aware of the outside world. So when they heard that he was also a Golden Seat, they were shocked.
Looking at the commotion in the palace, Qin Tian smiled. "Please don't have any doubts. Mu Chen is not only the Ruler of the Mu Abode, but he's also the Demon Slayer King of my Great Thousand Palace. In terms of strength, he's comparable to a Middle Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign. Most importantly, he's the second owner of the Primordial Immortal Body, so he's qualified to sit on the golden seats."
His words instantly caused a commotion in the palace. All the Heavenly Sovereigns that had just come out of seclusion looked at Mu Chen in shock. They were clearly shocked by the long list of titles.
"I never expected that such a figure would appear in the Great Thousand World after a hundred years. Truly, the younger generation will surpass us in time." Some of the older Heavenly Sovereigns inwardly sighed.
Facing those exclamations, Mu Chen's expression did not fluctuate much. He got Qing Yanjing to lead the way, while he and Luo Li followed behind her.
However, just when he stepped into the outermost ring of the golden seats, Mu Chen's footsteps suddenly paused as he saw a familiar figure. That person had also sensed his gaze and his body immediately stiffened.
"Haha, West Heaven Battle Emperor, it has been a long time since we last met. I never expected that you would also break through to the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm. How have you been?" Mu Chen looked at that silhouette with a playful smile.
That's because that silhouette was the West Heaven Battle Emperor, who had a grudge with Mu Chen in the past.
At that time, the West Heaven Battle Emperor tried to recruit Luo Li as the Holy Maiden, which triggered a grudge between him and Mu Chen. In the end, Mu Chen invited Yan Emperor and even seized a Seed of the Continent from the West Heaven Continent.
However, the West Heaven Battle Emperor had been stuck in the Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm for a long time, so Mu Chen never expected that he would break through to the Initial Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm.
Hearing Mu Chen's voice, the West Heaven Battle Emperor's face turned pale with embarrassment. Back then, Mu Chen was like an ant in his eyes, and he had never paid any attention to Mu Chen.
But who could have expected that in less than a decade, that brat, who had just stepped into the Earth Sovereign Realm, would step into the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm and even forge a name for himself in the Great Thousand World?
Although he had reached the Initial Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm, he knew that he might not be Mu Chen's opponent. After all, he knew about the matters of the Ancient Maha Clan.
Even Maha Tian couldn't do anything to Mu Chen, not to mention an Initial Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign like him.
So when he thought of the grudges in the past, even he, the West Heaven Battle Emperor, couldn't help feeling uneasy with his face changing.
Glancing at him, Mu Chen faintly smiled. "Although we had a grudge back then, it has been resolved. I have not seen you causing any trouble for the Luo God Clan in the West Heaven Continent, so I will naturally not look for trouble with you."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the golden seat near Qin Tian and sat down.
Looking at Mu Chen's silhouette, the West Heaven Battle Emperor gritted his teeth and shook his head in the end. The current Mu Chen was no longer the ant from back then, so he had no choice but to treat Mu Chen with importance.
It's best if they could let go of the grudges back then.
Mu Chen entered his seat and sat down. He closed his eyes and no longer bothered about the gazes directed at him.
Thereafter, more and more Heavenly Sovereigns arrived and took their seats. Amongst them, the Ancient Spirit Clan, Ancient Onyx Clan, and Ancient Maha Clan had also arrived and took their seats.
Maha Tian naturally came from the Ancient Maha Clan. When he saw Mu Chen, his face was unsightly, but he knew that this wasn't the place to resolve their grudges. Thus, he could only cupped his hands and sat down.
Mu Chen also paid no attention to Maha Tian. Instead, he looked at a golden seat with interest. There was a robust man seated there. That robust man's body was pale yellow with veins bulging like dragons, emanating a terrifying fluctuation.
The reason why Mu Chen was interested in this person was because he was the Patriarch of the fifth Ancient Clan, Huang Qiu of the Ancient Desolate Clan.
It was rumored that the Ancient Desolate Clan cultivated their physiques, and Mu Chen could sense that Huang Qiu's physique had reached the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm, just like him.
As time passed, more silhouettes sat on the stone seats in the hall. The formation made Mu Chen inwardly startled. One must know that every single one of them was an Overlord in the Great Thousand World. Now that all of them were gathered here, it was truly a scene that could shake the heavens and earth.
Whoosh!
Just when Mu Chen was sighing at the strength of the formation in the hall, his heart suddenly shook. He felt strands of black wind appearing out of nowhere and coiling around the golden seat beside Qin Tian.
When the black wind dissipated, a black-robed, white-haired old man was sitting there with his eyes drooped.
That old man emanated an aura that was past his prime, as if his life could be extinguished at any moment. But under his tottering posture, there was an indescribable pressure emanating from him.
Sensing that pressure, even Mu Chen's heart trembled.
When the Demon Slayer King looked at the black-robed old man, his face turned solemn as he cupped his fists. "Qin Tian greets Senior Undying Lord."
A commotion broke out in the hall with respectful gazes directed over. Evidently, that old man was the commander of the tomb keepers in the North Desolate Grave, the mysterious Undying Lord.
Buzz!
Just when everyone was looking at the old man with respect, a clear sword cry suddenly resounded in the sky. Everyone saw an azure sword light piercing through the sky and landing on the golden seat beside the black-robed old man.
When the cyan sword light dissipated, a man in cyan robes was sitting cross-legged. A cyan sword lay flat on his knees.
He lifted his head and smiled at the crowd, "I am Sword Domain Azure Robe. I am late, I hope everyone will forgive me."
When his voice landed, another commotion broke out in the hall with everyone's gazes filled with respect. That's because this person was a pinnacle powerhouse in the Great Thousand World that was on the same level as Emperor Yan, Wu Zu, the Demon Slayer King, and the Undying Lord.
Sword Domain, Azure Robed Sword Saint.
