The moment Mu Chen opened his eyes, it was as if two bright spiritual lights had burst out in the cave. The spiritual light penetrated the thick mountain directly and shot out towards heaven and earth. The roaring spiritual energy fluctuations were like tides as they raged in the cave, causing the whole earth to tremble violently as if it were about to collapse.

This kind of movement lasted for a long while before it finally converged in a gradual manner. The spiritual light in Mu Chen’s eyes also dissipated and returned to its calm state. However, that dark pair of eyes seemed to be more abstruse.

He looked at two universal bracelets that had fallen on the ground and shook his head helplessly. During this time in isolation, he had not been able to break through to the later stage of Spiritual Grade like he had hoped. Absorbing 10,000,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in just four months, even if he had a lot of preparation and help from the Holy Pagoda, was still slightly constraining for him.

On the plus side, the pure spiritual energy of the 10,000,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid had been refined into his body. Now the majestic spiritual energy was shaking constantly in Mu Chen’s body before it gradually integrated with his flesh and blood.

The day the spiritual energy in his body was thoroughly integrated with his flesh and blood and bones would be the day his breakthrough to the later stage of Spiritual Grade would take place.

It should be happening soon. Mu Chen could feel that this process was not going to take long. However, now he had no extra time to continue his isolation because the Aeon Congress was about to begin, and he could not miss it.

I’ll just have to intensify my cultivation while rushing to the Maha Ancient Clan. Mu Chen comforted himself. Then, with a shift of his body, he appeared on top of the mountain. In the distance, he saw two figures sweeping towards him. One person was naturally Nine Nether, whose charming body was delicate and exquisite with her curves exposed. The other one was actually a girl wearing a purple robe. The girl had a head full of green hair that fell down to her delicate hips and flowed along with the wind. Her small, exquisite face was like porcelain, shining with a quiet glow. However, her expression was quite cold, and a pair of golden eyes sparkled with a mysterious, deep light.

“Mandela?” Mu Chen could not help but exclaim as he looked at this young lady in the purple robe.

In the past, Mandela had always looked a little girl, but now she had the appearance of a slim young lady. However, judging by the surly and unreasoning spiritual energy fluctuation Mandela emitted, it was clear that she had successfully made a breakthrough to Heavenly Sovereign.

Mandela scanned Mu Chen with her golden eyes and said softly, “It is normal for us members of the Mandala Clan to have a slow growth cycle. Thus, this breakthrough to Heavenly Sovereign also allowed me to break away from the child stage.”

Mu Chen nodded and held back a smile before saying, “This is good as well, lest others think that a little girl is at the helm of the Mu Estate.”

Mandela squinted her golden eyes slightly and said, “Are you looking down on my previous form?”

“I wouldn’t dare to,” Mu Chen said quickly. Currently, the Mu Estate’s affairs were very complicated, and he was also about to leave. If he annoyed Mandela now, it would cause her to walk away from her job. Then the Mu Estate would truly become a mess.

Mandela snorted lightly and looked at Mu Chen angrily.

Nine Nether said, “All the attention of the Great Thousand World is focused on the Maha Ancient Clan.”

Mu Chen’s expression fell slightly before he nodded and said, “After all, it relates to the affiliation of the Primordial Immortal Body. That is why it attracts attention.”

That was one of the top Sovereign Celestial Bodies in the Great Thousand World. Even the super top forces constantly paid attention to it, and even with the existence of many divines, they were still staring.

“Hey.” A scroll appeared in Nine Nether’s jade-like hand. She handed it to Mu Chen and said, “While you were in isolation, the Great Thousand World made a list of popular people who might obtain the Primordial Immortal Body. You should also know about this information and be prepared.”

“Oh?” Mu Chen accepted it with great interest. When he opened the scroll, he could only see that the person ranked first was a very familiar name. Maha Ancient Clan, Maha You, the peak of the later stage of God Grade, Maha Ancient Clan Leader Maha Tian’s younger brother, the next qualified person from the Maha Ancient Clan to strike the Divine Grade…

“This guy…” Mu Chen squinted. Maha You was indeed a legend. With strength at the peak of the later stage of God Grade, so long as he did not meet any Divine Heavenly Sovereigns, perhaps it was true that not a lot of people could be his opponent. No wonder he was able to be ranked first.

Even for himself, if he had yet to break through to the later stage of Spiritual Grade, he did not plan to fight with Maha You forcibly.

In second place, Asura Spear Ye Qing, later stage of God Grade. “Ye Qing…” Mu Chen looked at the name. By just taking a look, he could already feel a killing intent assaulting his senses.

Nine Nether exclaimed, “This Ye Qing is the second lord of the Xi Ming Temple. With his Asura Spear, he is invincible. The rumor is that he has experienced thousands of battles and tempered himself in the blood-fire. He could be said to be the Asura of battles. He is extremely famous and is not much inferior to Maha You.”

Mu Chen nodded slightly and continued to look at it. In third place, Lord Vajra Shi Luo, prime protector of Mount Da Ling, later stage of God Grade.

This Mount Da Ling was also one of the top forces in the Great Thousand World. It was said that the cultivators in Mount Da Ling were like the ascetics, for their bodies were valiant and overbearing, and they were extremely powerful. The fact that this Shi Luo could become the prime protector showed that he was a force to be reckoned with.

In fourth place, Blade Saint Tuo Ba Cang, later stage of God Grade. He carried a broken blade as he traversed the world. Once, he started a feud with a supreme power, and then, he eliminated all of those under the other’s sect just by using his blade.

“None of them are simple characters.” When Mu Chen looked at those four people, his expression turned sullen. At this time, he discovered that this Great Thousand World was full of people with hidden talents. Among these first four people, he had only heard of Maha You. As for the other three, he had never seen them before. Who would have thought that their battle records were also so prominent?

Even Mu Chen felt slightly pressured to obtain the Primordial Immortal Body from this group of heroes. However, this did not make him feel any fear at all. Instead, his eyes were filled with enthusiasm, and the blood in his whole body was boiling. On the path of becoming a matchless master, endless fights were necessary, and during those life and death battles with such strong opponents, one had to force oneself to evolve during moments of life and death…

Mu Chen sighed, then looked at the person in fifth place. When he looked at the name, he could not help but be dazed before chuckling soon after.

In fifth place, Mu Estate’s Master, Mu Chen, middle stage of Spiritual Grade, once made a hell of a fuss with Budur Ancient Clan, went to the Deification Pool and defeated Huang Xuanzhi, the supreme talent from the Phoenix Clan, went to the Tianluo Continent and single-handedly defeated the Ghost Emperor and five other God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns…

Mandela crossed her arms and said in a bantering tone, “Is it a bit frustrating? You are ranked fifth. It seems that many people think you are not as good as the top four.”

Mu Chen smiled as if he had taken no notice of her tone at all and said, “The first four people have been famous for many years, and they are also genuinely at the later stage of God Grade. I’m naturally not as good compared to their fame.” He paused before continuing, “However, we will still have to have a fight before we know who will survive ’til the end.”

There was a flame of fearlessness in Mu Chen’s eyes. Over the years, he had been working hard for the Primordial Immortal Body, so no matter how fierce the competition was, it was absolutely impossible for him to admit defeat.

Mu Chen put the scroll away and did not look at it anymore. Although there were still a few names behind him, he felt that the biggest threat in this Aeon Congress should be the first four names.

“I’m also ready to leave.” Mu Chen looked at Nine Nether and Mandela. There were only ten days left before the Aeon Congress. He had to leave as soon as he could, otherwise, if he could not catch up, it would be a huge joke. After all, Mu Chen had been waiting too long for this day.

“The Mu Estate is now expanding rapidly, so I can only trouble the both of you.” Although the forces had surrendered, the current Tianluo Continent still had not been incorporated under the Mu Estate’s control. This would inevitably cause many conflicts between them, so it was necessary for Nine Nether and Mandela to stay behind and keep watch.

“Don’t worry, when you come back, I will give you a Mu Estate that dominates the Tianluo Continent,” Mandela said lightly, though there was a strong tone of confidence in her words. After all, Mu Chen had eliminated the biggest stumbling block, and as for the following matters of receiving and integrating, Mandela was confident that she could solve them perfectly.

Mu Chen smiled and continued speaking with the two women. When he was finished, he did not delay any longer, and with a move of his body, he turned into a spiritual light and shot towards the sky. He then penetrated into space and finally disappeared.

After watching Mu Chen disappear, only then did a hint of worry appear on Nine Nether’s petite face as she said, “I wonder if Mu Chen will succeed this time…” She was very clear about how much effort and energy Mu Chen had devoted to the Primordial Immortal Body.

Mandela thought for a moment and said seriously, “This should be the most difficult battle ever for Mu Chen. If he can pass through it, he can definitely obtain Divine Grade. As for how he passes through it, that will depend on him.”

Nine Nether nodded slightly and could only pray in her heart. After all, although Mu Chen’s battle record was prominent, the first four people were also not simple characters, and they were even fiercer than Huang Xuanzhi.

…

As time went by, the Aeon Congress continued to expand in the Great Thousand World, and all the supreme powers gathered at the Maha Ancient Clan. This was because there had been rumors in the past that the Primordial Immortal Body, which had been still for thousands of years, was showing some faint, odd movement. It seemed to be intending to choose its master.

Once this rumor spread out, it attracted endless amounts of attention. Could it really be that the Primordial Immortal Body, which had not chosen its new master for thousands of years, was finally going to choose its master this time? If the Primordial Immortal Body really chooses a new master, then perhaps there will be another invincible existence in the Great Thousand World…

Therefore, with the help of such rumors, the Maha Ancient Clan seemed to have become the focus of the Great Thousand World. It was also under the effervescent focus of this world that seven days later, Mu Chen arrived in the Maha Continent where the Maha Ancient Clan was located…
