The Great Ruler

Once the party from the Ancient Buddha Clan left, the tensed atmosphere in the Great Thousand Pavilion also dissipated and many Demon Slayers felt inwardly relieved. If those Heavenly Sovereigns really fought here, they would surely be the ones to suffer...

The blazing Spiritual Energy around Celestial Chi Yan had also gradually retreated before he turned around and looked at Mu Chen, then chuckled towards Pavilion Master Lu and teased, “I never expected that the Great Thousand Palace would recognise his identity. Wouldn’t that mean that Mu Chen has become the weakest Demon Slayer King in history?”

Generally speaking, those that could become a Demon Slayer King were those that could at least confront Sky Monarchs. However, Mu Chen was still far away from that...

Pavilion Master Lu cast a glance at Celestial Chi Yan before turning his gaze towards Mu Chen. “Follow me.”

From the looks of it, there’s something he wanted to say to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen nodded his head, then he cupped his hands towards Matron He of the Wen Clan to thank her for her help and quickly followed Pavilion Master Lu.

After following behind Pavilion Master Lu, the two of them entered the internal area of the Great Thousand Pavilion. When they arrive in a hall, only then did Pavilion Master Lu turn around and look at Mu Chen, then he said, “Mu Chen, although headquarters has recognised your identity as Demon Slayer King...

“Because of your cultivation, the Great Thousand Palace isn’t going to grant you the authority befitting of a Demon Slayer King.”

Mu Chen wasn’t surprised by this, so he nodded his head. He wasn’t a fool. He would be stupid to believe that he would be able to go to the top of the pyramid after becoming a Demon Slayer King, possessing the authority to mobilise the experts of the Great Thousand Palace...

The Great Thousand Palace had a deep foundation, and the structure of benefits were evident as well. As a Demon Slayer King, he would possess great authority and status. If Mu Chen was a Saint Heavenly Sovereign, the Great Thousand Palace would surely welcome him. But it’s a pity that he’s only a Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign.

So it was indeed impossible for him to enjoy the authority of a Demon Slayer King in the Great Thousand Palace. If he tried to force it, he might attract trouble instead.

After all, no one would heed the orders of a Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign Demon Slayer King.

“You can accept this?” Seeing Mu Chen calmly nodding his head, Pavilion Master Lu was a little surprised.

Mu Chen smiled. “I can roughly understand the concept of the Great Thousand Palace, and if I really forced myself to become a Demon Slayer King, I would only be courting humiliation to myself.”

Pavilion Master Lu’s eyes flashed with admiration. Although Mu Chen was young, he wasn’t arrogant and knew where he stood. He knew what to touch and what not to touch.

“But don’t be depressed, although you do not have the authority of a Demon Slayer King, your status has been recognised. If anyone wants to touch you, then they would have to care about the Great Thousand Palace’s face.

“But once you’re powerful enough in the future, and willing to come to the Great Thousand Palace, then we can give you the authority of a Demon Slayer King anytime.” Pavilion Master Lu said.

“Thank you, Pavilion Master Lu.” Mu Chen cupped his fists as he smiled. He wasn’t unhappy with the arrangement of the Great Thousand Palace. Furthermore, he even felt grateful that they could help him get out of his situation.

Pavilion Master Lu smiled. “Furthermore, your status as a Demon Slayer King might be so-so, but your points are genuine...”

Mu Chen was briefly stunned before joy flashed in his eyes. “Pavilion Master is saying that I can spend those Demon Slayer Points?”

Demon Slayer Points of the Great Thousand Pavilion could be used to exchange many things, Saint Artifacts, Sovereign Celestial Bodies, Pellets, or even Peerless Divine Abilities.

Just some time ago, Mu Chen was worried that his Demon Slayer King title was a cheap trick, so his Demon Slayer Points might not be useful. But judging from Pavilion Master Lu’s words, he could actually exchange them for treasures.

Looking at Mu Chen’s joyful expression, Pavilion Master Lu smiled and he nodded his head before he walked deeper into the hall. “Follow me.”

With joy on his face, Mu Chen swiftly followed up.

Following behind Pavilion Master Lu through a few halls, they arrived at a storage room. Pavilion Master Lu waved his hand and a dazzling spiritual light blossomed from the bronze gate, before creaking sounds came from the door as it slowly opened up.

When the door was opened, a glittering light gushed out that dazzled Mu Chen’s eyes.

When he focused his gaze over, he couldn’t help taking a deep breath. He could see crystal balls in the massive storage room. Every single one of those crystal balls emanated a dazzling lustre. The items within them had to be extraordinary.

“Impressive, as expected of the Great Thousand Palace.” Mu Chen looked at the treasures in the storage room and praised. The Great Thousand Palace was truly one of the top-tiered forces. Just a division alone already possessed such ample treasures, and the foundation wasn’t something that other ordinary forces could rival.

Pavilion Master Lu slowly led Mu Chen in and smiled. “There’s a price on the crystal balls, and as long as you have enough Demon Slayer Points, you can exchange them as you wish.”

Mu Chen’s gaze was heated before he swiftly moved up and swept his gaze over the crystal balls.

“High Rank Saint Artifact - Heavenly Flame Spear, 800 Demon Slayer Points.”

“Perfected Divine Ability - Starlight Finger, 1,100 Demon Slayer Points.”

“Myriad Wood Rejuvenating Body - Ranked 39th of the 99th Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies, 1,300 Demon Slayer Points.”

“......”

The crystal balls contained all sorts of treasures that left Mu Chen sighing in admiration. But at his current level, a High Rank Saint Artifact or Perfected Divine Ability were useless to him.

“Pavilion Master Lu, are there higher graded items?” Mu Chen asked.

Pavilion Master Lu smiled before he pointed towards the left. “Quasi-Peerless Saint Artifacts are mostly there, and I feel that they’re suitable for you.”

Generally speaking, Peerless Saint Artifacts were meant for Heavenly Sovereigns, so the Quasi-Peerless Saint Artifacts were usually the best that one beneath the Heavenly Sovereign Realm could get.

Mu Chen quickened his steps, since he was a little interested in the Quasi-Saint Artifacts. After all, the Heavenly Emperor Sword’s energy had been fully exhausted, so he needed a treasure that he could use.

His steps stopped before a head-sized crystal ball and saw a black whip slowly revolving within it. The whip was covered in spikes while emanating dark and cold flickers. Every single section of the whip was engraved with ancient runes that gave out a peculiar feeling when it moved.

“Mhm?” Mu Chen exclaimed after seeing that black whip. He felt a faint familiarity from it.

“This is the God-Binding Whip, a Quasi-Peerless Saint Artifact. It’s forged from the branch of a Primordial Mandala Flower, and at such a level, the Primordial Mandala Flower was at least at the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.” Pavilion Master Lu explained.

“So it’s forged from the branch of a Primordial Mandala Flower.” Mu Chen now knew why he felt a familiarity with it. But this item was indeed decent, and in the hands of Mandala, the full might of it could be unleashed.

After leaving Sacred Abyss City, Mu Chen intended to visit the Greatlaw Continent first. After all, the Mu Abode had just been established, and as the Abode Ruler, it might cause the hearts of others to be unsteady if it was being managed by Mandala all the time.

With this God-Binding Whip, he could use it as a gift for Mandala. After all, she had been working hard to help him manage the Mu Abode.

Looking at the price, it cost 2,000 Demon Slayer Points, which was still acceptable. Taking out his Demon Slayer Token, he swiped it across the crystal ball and a light flickered before the crystal ball slowly drifted out and he stowed it away.

After exchanging the God-Binding Whip, Mu Chen did not stop and continued to move. A brief moment later, he had his eyes on another item.

It was an exquisite earring that seemed to be forged from crystals, with an emerald liquid hanging on it. It was this unusual liquid that made this earring extraordinary.

“Your eyes are pretty picky. This is the Heavenly Spirit Jade Essence. It is something that’s formed after the natural Spiritual Energy has been compressed for countless years. Wearing it on you can boost your cultivation speed, it’s a treasure for assisting cultivation. But this is useless for Heavenly Sovereigns, so it can only be classified as a Quasi-Peerless Saint Artifact.” Pavilion Master Lu couldn’t help smiling after seeing Mu Chen’s gaze.

Mu Chen fell into thoughts. This Heavenly Spirit Jade Essence was suitable for Luo Li. At this moment, she’s only a Lesser Earth Sovereign, but if she had this with her, it would be extremely beneficial for her cultivation.

Looking at the price tag, he was a little surprised to see that it costs 3,000 Demon Slayer Points. It seemed like this cultivation equipment was unusually expensive.

But it was nothing, since it was a gift for Luo Li, so he had straightforwardly exchanged it with a wave of his hand.

“You’re really willing to spend to buy a beauty’s smile.” Pavilion Master smiled. This was naturally something used by ladies. Since Mu Chen was so generous, it had to be for that lover of his.

Mu Chen smiled before he glanced at the Demon Slayer Token. In that moment, he had already spent half of his Demon Slayer Points, making him speechless. Demon Slayer Points were really insufficient, no wonder so many Demon Slayers would remain on the Sacred Abyss Continent to earn Demon Slayer Points...

“Now, let’s see if there’s any Quasi-Peerless Saint Artifacts that’s suitable for me.” Mu Chen briefly pondered before he held expectations in his heart. He continued to look around for a long time before he slowly came to a stop.

He was looking at the crystal ball beside him with an unusual gaze.

It wasn’t any Quasi-Peerless Saint Artifact, but a golden liquid that was slowly flowing within. A peculiar ripple was emanating from it.

“This is...” Mu Chen squinted his eyes before shock appeared in his eyes. “The Vajra Spirit Breaking Liquid?”
