The Great Ruler

In the grand hall of the Ancient Buddha Clan

“After I leave, Elder Qing Tian will temporarily take my place. However, I will leave a spiritual clone behind for you guys to contact me if there’s an emergency, and I will rush back immediately.”

The Elders were all gathered here and Qing Yanjing looked at everyone. Her gaze swept past Xuan Guang and Mo Tong, before she faintly said, “I hope that there won’t be anything that I don’t want to see occurring in the clan while I’m away. Otherwise, I will hand down a severe punishment.”

Xuan Guang and Mo Tong’s hearts trembled at Qing Yanjing’s gaze before they nodded their heads. They could sense the chill in her tone, and if they tried anything while she was away, then she would probably come after them for the old and new debts.

Standing beside Qing Yanjing, Mu Chen calmly looked at the Elders. These Elders who usually held a high position were akin to a flock of sheep before Qing Yanjing.

Mu Chen even saw Xuan Luo and Mo Xin standing behind Xuan Guang and Mo Tong respectively. However, the two of them hid behind and did not dare to have contact with Mu Chen’s gaze.

They had a clear view of the situation, and they knew that Mu Chen had reached an unreachable height to them. In the past, they could still use their status to look down on Mu Chen, who was a sinner. So even if Mu Chen had stepped into the Spirit Heavenly Sovereign Realm, they weren’t afraid of him, since they had the entire backing of the Ancient Buddha Clan.

But it was no longer the same... along with Qing Yanjing at the Grand Elder’s position, Mu Chen’s backing had quickly crushed them...

So it was different times now. Thus, they could only hide and not show any provocation to Mu Chen.

“I wonder how long will the Grand Elder be away? You’ve just ascended your position, and I’m afraid that you cannot be away for long.” Qing Tian walked out and carefully asked.

The Elders of the Qing Bloodline all looked at Qing Yanjing. Evidently, they were all afraid that she would leave for as long as she did in the past and toss the Ancient Buddha Clan behind.

If that was the case, then the Xuan and Mo Bloodline might cause trouble in the clan.

Qing Yanjing could also see through Qing Tian’s thoughts, so she smiled. “Don’t worry, I know what to do, and I will pay attention to the clan.”

Hearing her assurance, the Elders of the Qing Bloodline finally felt relieved. Compared to before, Qing Yanjing was more restrained and no longer did as she wishe. Otherwise, they would really want to cry at this moment.

“Then, we hope that the Grand Elder will have a good journey ahead.” All the Elders bowed.

Nodding her head, Qing Yanjing waved her hand and spiritual light enveloped Mu Chen, and they disappeared.

Outside the Teleportation Spiritual Array in the Ancient Buddha Clan, Qing Yanjing and Mu Chen’s silhouettes appeared.

“Aunt Jing.” Ling Xi had already been waiting here. She held onto Qing Yanjing’s arm. Even her usually cold expression had a cute and innocent smile.

“Mistress.” Long Xiang also greeted respectfully.

Holding onto Ling Xi’s hand, Qing Yanjing said with annoyance, “Still acting like a little girl...”

After that, she turned to Long Xiang and smiled. “We’re already so familiar, so there’s no need for such etiquette.”

However, Long Xiang stubbornly shook his head. Seeing his response, Qing Yanjing no longer spoke, but looked at Mu Chen. “While you were in closed-door cultivation for the past month, I had Luo Xiang gather information. The Hundred Spirit Continent is having the King Ceremony soon, and all the forces in the continent will head over to the Hundred Spirit City. I believe that your father should be there, so we will go there to look for him.”

The Northern Spiritual Realm resided in the Hundred Spirit Continent, and when Mu Chen left, Mu Feng had established the Northern Spiritual Alliance. It’s a considerable force in the Hundred Spirit Continent. Thus, they would also have to attend the King Ceremony.

Nodding his head with a smile, Mu Chen urgently said, “Then, let’s go.”

...

The Hundred Spirit Continent resided in the northwest of the Great Thousand World, and it’s not especially famous in the Great Thousand World. Compared to other supercontinents, it paled in comparison.

On the other hand, the Pagoda Continent, which the Ancient Buddha Clan resided on, was exceptionally far away from the Hundred Spirit Continent. Although Qing Yanjing could get someone to crush the spiritual seal she refined in the Hundred Spirit Continent for her to descend directly by traveling through space, she did not make any preparations for it.

However, traveling wasn’t a problem for Qing Yanjing. After all, she’s a Saint Grade Spiritual Array Ancestor, so constructing a teleportation array was just a flip of her hand. Thus, they didn’t even make any stops and search for those spiritual arrays that crossed the continent. Qing Yanjing simply constructed a distant teleportation array to head to another continent...

Thus, they traveled through hundreds of continents in just less than ten days. At the same time, they’re also gradually approaching the northwest of the Great Thousand World.

Their speed was extremely swift, and if it was someone else, they would probably take months to achieve it.

Mu Chen’s group of four stood on top of a massive ocean when Qing Yanjing waved her hand. Countless spiritual seals formed and constructed into a teleportation array.

“We will arrive in the Hundred Spirit Continent after another teleportation.”

Hearing Qing Yanjing’s words, Mu Chen, Ling Xi, and Long Xiang felt relieved, since they’re finally going to reach their destination.

As the four of them stepped into the teleportation array, a radiance burst out and the surrounding space violently distorted. After some time, Mu Chen’s party opened their eyes.

What appeared before them was a mountain range. They’ve clearly arrived on a continent.

Pressing her hand down, the surrounding spatial distortions were violently suppressed. Qing Yanjing was reminiscing the past at the sight of this region, along with expectations.

‘I wonder... how is that fellow doing...?’

“Let’s go, to the Hundred Spirit City.”

Suppressing her emotions, Qing Yanjing smiled towards Mu Chen, Ling Xi, and Long Xiang before waving her hand and they turned into spiritual lights, soaring into the sky.

“Hehe, I seldom see Aunt Jing being so anxious.” Ling Xi covered her mouth and smiled.

“I also wish to meet how majestic the Master that could obtain Mistress’ heart is.” Long Xiang was also looking with expectations.

The corner of Mu Chen’s lips twitched. Although he wasn’t trying to degrade his father, he didn’t seem to have any relation with being majestic...

Shaking his head, he turned into a streak of light and followed.

...

Hundred Spirit City

As the central city of the Hundred Spirit Continent, Hundred Spirit City was the largest in the entire continent, with this place bustling with popularity. Especially recently, the Hundred Spirit City has become the entire focal point of the Hundred Spirit Continent with the King Ceremony taking place here.

The so-called “King Ceremony” was just meant to pay their respects to the King, who was also the ruler of the Hundred Spirit Continent, the Hundred Spirit King.

As the ruler of this continent, the Hundred Spirit King was evidently the highest existence in the Hundred Spirit Continent, leaving the other forces as his subordinates. Thus, they were occasionally required to pay respects to him and submit their offerings.

Thus, the Hundred Spirit City would be extremely bustling every single King Ceremony with all forces coming over.

In the heart of the Hundred Spirit City, the Hundred Spirit Palace

This luxurious palace was currently in a massive commotion with all sorts of performances within the majestic palace and the leaders from all forces seated with beautiful servants serving them.

Everyone seated there were leaders from the various forces of the Hundred Spirit Continent, and the seats were also classified in heights.

Generally, those seated at the front were powerful, with those towards the rear being weaker...

A few people were sitting towards the rear. Compared to the rest being joyful, their gazes were somewhat uneasy.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a towering figure that looked imposing. His features also shared a resemblance to Mu Chen. He was naturally Mu Chen’s father, Mu Feng.

At this moment, he had knitted his brows and sighed while looking at the girl kneeling beside him. That girl had an exquisite appearance, and her black clothes outlined her figure. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, looking lively.

Just sitting there, she was a scenery herself that attracted many gazes over towards her.

If Mu Chen was here, he would be shocked, since she was Tang Qian’er, whom he had not seen since he left the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy...
