The Great Ruler

The battle that shook the entire Greatlaw Continent finally came to an end, but the ripples caused by this matter shook the whole continent.

If the battle between the Mu Abode and the three Overlords of the Northern Region made their name rise in the Northern Region, then this battle had sent the Mu Abode to the top of the continent, with countless forces feeling respectful of them.

In the future, the Northern Region would be the private territory of the Mu Abode, and no one dared to covet after it. As for those pinnacle forces in the Greatlaw Continent, they would also be extremely fearful of the Mu Abode because of this matter.

That’s because the Mu Abode possessed a Heavenly Sovereign now and judging from Mu Chen’s shocking fighting strength, it might even become one of the supreme forces of the Great Thousand World, if it wasn’t for the Mu Abode’s lack of foundation.

If it was in another continent, Mu Chen’s current strength could already allow him to occupy the entire continent as his own territory, with no one daring to utter a single objection.

That’s because Heavenly Sovereigns in the Great Thousand World were akin to pinnacle existences, and they’re equivalent to powerhouses in the Great Thousand world, with the honor of being proclaimed as Dao Lords and rule the continent.

But the Greatlaw Continent was, after all, one of the supercontinents in the Great Thousand World, and the resources there were unimaginable, even supreme forces would covet it. Although there weren’t any Heavenly Sovereigns around, the peak forces practically had a supreme force supporting them.

Under this complicated environment, even if the Mu Abode could show disdain to all the other forces with Mu Chen’s existence, it’s impossible for them to rule the entire Greatlaw Continent.

If they forcefully did it, then it would surely attract the unhappiness of many forces, and it wouldn’t be as simple as the Violet Spiritual Aura Cave, Thunder Note Monastery, and the Dragon Scripture Cave.

If they attracted too much hatred, even Mu Chen couldn’t deal with them. If Mu Chen had the strength of a Saint Heavenly Sovereign, then taking the entire Greatlaw Continent would be an easy matter for him.

Thus, Mu Chen only ordered for all the territories in the Northern Region to be seized and did not touch the other territories in case they attracted resistance from the other supreme forces.

After all, the vast Northern Region could let the Mu Abode digest it for quite a period...

...

The Mu Abode, Ancient Haven Palace

A light descended onto a majestic mountain beside the Heavenly Lake, where Mu Chen’s silhouette sat down on the peak. Looking downwards, he could see the Heavenly Lake. It was like a silver belt that was shrouding the majestic mountain.

The cultivation platforms surrounding the Heavenly Lake had many silhouettes sitting on them. When Mu Chen arrived, he had also caused quite a commotion; thus, attracting many gazes over.

Anyone that could come here were practically elites of the sects under the Mu Abode. That’s because only those young ones could gain the greatest benefits of the Heavenly Lake.

Thus, there were many handsome boys and charming girls around, blessed by the Heavenly Lake.

“Look! It’s Lord Ruler!” When Mu Chen appeared, he had instantly caused revered gazes to be directed over.

“The Ruler is truly formidable, stepping into the legendary Heavenly Sovereign Realm at such a young age and becoming one of the pinnacle powerhouses in the Great Thousand World...” Many girls were smitten when they looked at that majestic silhouette with stars in their eyes.

“Hehe, don’t go into heat. Who is the Lord Ruler? How can he take a liking to us?” A girl chuckled.

Some youths snorted, “The Ruler is rumored to have a lover already, that fairy cultivated the Luo God Celestial Body, a future Bella of the Great Thousand World. You can stop dreaming about it.”

However, their speech soon attracted many hateful glares, and in that instant, the surroundings of the Heavenly Lake became riled up.

Although the mountain was far from the Heavenly Lake, he could still hear those peals of laughter and he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

But when he looked at them, he felt gratified. He suddenly reminisced his time in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. When he was cultivating, how was he different from them?

He smiled and gradually calmed himself, then a light flew out from his eyes and took the form of a crystal pagoda.

For the past few days, he had been in the Mu Abode. Only after the Mu Abode controlled the entire Northern Region, did he have the time to come to the Ancient Haven Palace. At this moment, he had to deal with the problem in his crystal pagoda first.

When he fought with the Profound Sky Ancestor a few days ago, he had only sealed the latter in his pagoda. Right now, since he had time to spare, he decided to deal with this issue, or he wouldn’t be able to use his pagoda when fighting with others.

While the pagoda hovered before Mu Chen, it emanated a divine light.

Mu Chen’s silhouette moved and turned into a streak of light that flew into the pagoda.

Sweeping his gaze over, the crystallised luster in the pagoda radiated and formed into a crystal starry sky, with the silhouette seated within it using his Spiritual Energy to resist.

Sensing Mu Chen’s gaze, that silhouette abruptly opened his eyes with a pale expression. This person was the Profound Sky Ancestor whom he had suppressed within the pagoda.

Mu Chen did not care about the Profound Sky Ancestor’s face, but looked at the pagoda with interest. Since he had stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, the pagoda had also changed.

Every single crystallised luster emanated by the pagoda contained countless ancient runes that possessed a powerful sealing ability.

So even if the Profound Sky Ancestor was powerful, he could only be trapped within it, and the moment he used his Spiritual Energy, he would suffer the envelopment of the sealing power to seal his Spiritual Energy.

“The sealing ability of the pagoda now can already deal with a Heavenly Sovereign?” Mu Chen’s gaze flickered. His pagoda did not possess such capability in the past.

“The Ancient Buddha Clan is truly unique for being able to become one of the five Ancient Clans in the Great Thousand World. This sealing ability is truly domineering.” Mu Chen sighed in his heart. Without the pagoda, it wouldn’t have been so easy for him to imprison the Profound Sky Ancestor.

“Profound Sky Ancestor, is it comfortable within my pagoda?” Mu Chen stared at the Profound Sky Ancestor with a faint smile.

The Profound Sky Ancestor’s face was pale, and just when he wanted to rage, he suppressed his anger and submitted to humiliation. “I admit my defeat this time. I was in the wrong, and I will apologise to your Mu Abode. I can also compensate you as long as you let me out, what do you say?”

When you’re at someone’s mercy, you had no choice but to bow down. Thus, he could only give up after being imprisoned here by Mu Chen.

Mu Chen faintly smiled. “You’ve nearly shattered my Mu Abode, did you think that your compensation can make up for the losses?”

The Profound Sky Ancestor instantly rage, “What do you what? I did not touch a single person of your Mu Abode!”

Mu Chen’s gaze flickered with cold light as he responded, “If you did, I would’ve suppressed you to death by now!”

Sensing the killing intent in Mu Chen’s speech, the Profound Sky Ancestor felt a chill in his heart. He knew that Mu Chen was capable of doing that right now. As long as he relied on his pagoda, then it’s possible to suppress him for a long time until his death.

Thinking of his current situation, the Profound Sky Ancestor couldn’t help gulping a mouthful of saliva, before his face turned friendly. “Brother Mu, why bother? Speaking of which, we don’t have any big grudges, to begin with. I was tempted by that old fart, Hei Guang, to cause trouble to you.

“What do you want for you to be willing to let me go? As long as I can accomplish it, I will surely not knit my brows!”

Hearing those words, Mu Chen squinted his eyes. So it’s truly that Elder Hei Guang? But this matter might not be done by that old fart alone, since he had the powerful Xuan Bloodline of the Ancient Buddha Clan backing him up.

“It’s not impossible for me to let you go.” Mu Chen stared at the Profound Sky Ancestor and said.

Although he’s able to suppress the Profound Sky Ancestor if he gave it his all, it wasn’t beneficial for him.

Hearing Mu Chen’s words, the Profound Sky Ancestor instantly rejoiced, “What’re your conditions?”

Mu Chen smiled. “If you’re willing to promise that you will become an Elder of my Mu Abode for a hundred years, I’ll write this debt off today.”

“What?!” Profound Sky Ancestor widened his eyes and his face turned ugly. “I’ve always enjoyed freedom, why should I be ordered around by you?!”

He was a Heavenly Sovereign, but wouldn’t his conditions mean that he would be Mu Chen’s slave?

Mu Chen wasn’t surprised by his intense reaction and faintly said, “My Mu Abode will host a ceremony to invite you as an Elder to give you face. Furthermore, I won’t order you around as long as you stay in the Mu Abode for a hundred years to protect it.”

The Profound Sky Ancestor knitted his brows and started to hesitate.

“If you’re not willing, then I will not force you.” Mu Chen squinted his eyes as a coldness started to gather in his pupils. “But we should settle the debts between us.”

As he spoke, his hands joined together and the entire pagoda trembled before a crystallised light whistled over.

Seeing Mu Chen’s actions, the Profound Sky Ancestor’s heart trembled and he gritted his teeth. “Thirty years! I will be an Elder of your Mu Abode for thirty years, and if anyone dares to come looking for trouble within this time frame, then I will help you!”

He had seen that Mu Chen was a decisive person who wouldn’t hesitate. Thus, he was petrified that Mu Chen might kill him.

Hearing the Profound Sky Ancestor’s words, a warm smile appeared on Mu Chen’s face and he nodded his head. “Sure.”
