The Great Ruler

“Junior Mu Chen pays greetings to Senior.” Mu Chen did not dare to be negligent with this old man and bowed with his hands cupped along with a grave expression. To be able to nurture someone as great as the Flame Emperor, this old man must be extraordinary.

“Haha, my name is Yao Chen. Speaking of which, it appears that we’re pretty fated, we even have a ‘Chen’ in our names.” The old man gently smiled towards Mu Chen before he continued, “Such a young Heavenly Sovereign, you can be considered the youngest that I’ve seen. No wonder Xiao Yan holds high praises for you.”

“Senior Flame Emperor is flattering.” Mu Chen smiled without any pride or arrogance.

Although Yao Chen looked old, Mu Chen could sense a vague pressure coming from him. Evidently, this old man must be a genuine Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.

Compared to a Spirit Heavenly Sovereign like him, Senior Yao Chen was on a higher level.

But Mu Chen wasn’t surprised by this, since it’s natural for the Master of the Flame Emperor to have such strength.

But compared to Senior Yao Chen’s strength, Mu Chen was more curious about Xiao Xiao. He could sense that her fluctuation wasn’t any weaker than his own.

“You’ve also stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm?” Mu Chen looked at Xiao Xiao with shock.

When they first met, albeit a bit stronger than him, Xiao Xiao was still far from the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. But Mu Chen had gone through tons of fortune and experience to accomplish that. Thus, he was surprised that Xiao Xiao could catch up to him.

“Why? Are you the only genius allowed in the world?” Xiao Xiao snorted.

Mu Chen awkwardly smiled before Yao Chen chuckled, “In terms of cultivating time, Xiao Xiao is ten-odd times longer than you, but she would go into a periodic deep slumber due to her body. Every time she wakes up, her strength would rise as well. Previously, she has been asleep for about a year, and when she woke up, she had stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.”

Mu Chen was shocked upon hearing that and he gave an odd look towards Xiao Xiao. He never expected that there would be such a great thing in the world, breaking through the Heavenly Sovereign Realm upon waking up. It was practically unheard of.

On the contrary, he had to risk his life. Just thinking about it, he felt sour in his heart.

“What are you looking at?!” Xiao Xiao shyly hollered with her face blushing when she saw Mu Chen’s peculiar gaze.

Mu Chen dryly smiled before he retracted his gaze and introduced Ling Xi and Long Xiang.

While the atmosphere between the two parties was harmonious, many gazes were being curiously directed at Mu Chen. They were all wondering about the latter’s identity. After all, that person must be extraordinary to be able to receive such treatment from the Endless Fire Territory, right?

Suddenly, a commotion rang out again when ten-odd silhouettes descended towards the plaza.

When they appeared, a massive pressure spread out, causing the entire plaza to turn silent.

Everyone had directed their gazes over. It was a party of ten-odd people, with a man that possessed a majestic aura leading the way. He wore black and white long robes, along with a noble aura. Even one of his eyes was black and the other white, looking extremely magical.

Looking at that unique clothing, exclamations resounded from the surroundings. “So it’s the Ancient Maha Clan, no wonder their aura is so majestic.”

The Ancient Maha Clan was also one of the five Ancient Clans in the Great Thousand World.

That man paid no attention to the surrounding respectful gazes. His demeanor was akin to a traveling Emperor.

The attendant of the Ancient Buddha Clan swiftly came up and an extremely luxurious boat descended.

That luxurious boat was something that only the noblest of guests could use.

“The Ancient Maha Clan?” Mu Chen looked at this group of people and his gaze flickered because he remembered that the completed Primordial Immortal Body was being kept in the Ancient Maha Clan.

Now that his Immortal Golden Body has reached completion, he would have to head to the Ancient Maha Clan in the future to complete the Primordial Immortal Body.

“Mhm?” As this thought appeared in his heart, a purplish-golden luster surged around him. The Immortal Golden Body was actually appearing.

The sudden changes had left him shocked before he swiftly suppressed it and looked at the man with his expression slowly turning grave. He could sense that the abnormality of his Immortal Golden Body came from that person.

At the same time, the man had also sensed this and his movement stopped before he looked at Mu Chen’s direction.

When the two gazes met, the blood and aura in their bodies both trembled.

Mu Chen squinted his eyes and his expression turned grave. He could sense a trace of a chill coming from this man.

“That fellow... has actually cultivated the Immortal Golden Body!” Mu Chen was shocked. That peculiar reaction came from the similar Sovereign Immortal Bodies that they’ve cultivated.

“But it’s not strange that the clansmen of the Ancient Maha Clan would cultivate the Immortal Golden Body when they possess the Primordial Immortal Body.” Mu Chen muttered in his heart.

While Mu Chen muttered in his heart, the man reacted and looked over at Mu Chen. “Interesting... I never expected that I would encounter a wild cultivator of the Immortal Golden Body here.”

Since ancient times, the Ancient Maha Clan has received the Primordial Immortal Body from the Immortal Emperor, and over the years, they have self-proclaimed themselves to be the righteous inheritor of the Primordial Immortal Body, suppressing those wild cultivators, fearing that there might be someone suitable that would appear and seize the Primordial Immortal Body from their clan.

Thus, when the man noticed that Mu Chen had also cultivated the Immortal Golden Body, he had emanated enmity.

The man’s gaze coldly flickered. He had already wanted to instruct someone to check on Mu Chen’s origin, but when he saw Xiao Xiao and Yao Chen beside Mu Chen, his eyes squinted.

“The Endless Fire Territory?” The man’s gaze sank with fear flickering within his eyes before he left.

“The Ancient Maha Clan is still as loathsome as before.” Xiao Xiao coldly snorted as she watched their silhouette.

“Who is that person?” Mu Chen asked. That person has cultivated the Immortal Golden Body, and would also be a great enemy for him in the future, once he headed to the Ancient Maha Clan.

“That person is Maha You, the brother of the Ancient Maha Clan’s patriarch, Maha Tian.” Yao Chen answered.

“Maha Tian?” Mu Chen squinted his eyes upon hearing that name. It was a famous name in the Great Thousand World.

“Maha Tian is an ambitious person, and even tried to swallow up the Endless Fire Territory in the past. In the end, he was defeated by my father. From then on, the Ancient Maha Clan does not dare to dip their hands in our Endless Fire Territory.” Xiao Xiao answered.

Mu Chen nodded his head. He had heard of this event in the past. It was after that incident that the Endless Fire Territory rose to be one of the pinnacle supreme forces in the Great Thousand World.

“The Heavenly Emperor has once told me that I need sufficient background and strength to head to the Ancient Maha Clan for the Primordial Immortal Body. Looking at it now, there’s truly a reason behind that. Without sufficient strength, even if I’m fated with the Primordial Immortal Body, I’m afraid I can’t obtain it.” Mu Chen muttered in his heart with expectations. But looking at Ancient Maha Clan right now, it’s impossible for him to peacefully leave, even if he had obtained the Primordial Immortal Body.

“Let us enter the Pagoda Realm as well.” Xiao Xiao glanced at the people in the plaza. She was a little unhappy with the gazes around them.

Mu Chen nodded, since he had no objections.

But just when they’re about to make a move, Mu Chen suddenly saw a group of people descend from the sky and smiled. “Let’s wait a little. Another acquaintance has arrived.”

The group had descended beside them and an arm stretched out, then embraced Mu Chen’s shoulder. At the same time, the chuckle of a lady rang out, “Hehe, Mu Chen, have you missed me? It has been a long time!”

Hearing that chuckle, Mu Chen smiled. Who else could it be aside from Lin Jing?
