The Great Ruler

Space distorted before Mu Chen, and in the next instant, his view brightened up. It had turned into a starry sky with countless streaks of comets flying through the sky that had long tails.

Mu Chen knew that there must be extraordinary Divine Abilities, Cultivation Techniques, or even Sovereign Celestial Bodies in those comets.

He looked at the space before him in puzzlement. He had genuinely sensed the calling of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion a moment ago, which was why he followed the fluctuation.

However, the Hidden Scripture Pavilion was usually hidden in the Ancient Haven Palace, and only appeared when it found a suitable candidate to enjoy this fortune.

But he had entered here once before, so he had no idea why the Hidden Scripture Pavilion would call him this time.

Just as he felt puzzlement, space distorted and ancient text appeared before him. "You have a Divine Ability that’s not in my records."

Mu Chen was stunned when he looked at those words. So it was his Divine Ability that had been noticed by the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. But there were so many top-tiered Divine Abilities in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, so the one that it had its eye on must be extraordinary.

There’s only one Divine Ability that the Hidden Scripture Pavilion hadn’t collected yet...

"The Eight-Divisional Pagoda..."

Mu Chen soon figure out the reason. He raised his brow and smiled. "What do you want, then?"

The Hidden Scripture Pavilion was truly unusual, and it actually possessed the intelligence to continuously collect all sorts of powerful Divine Abilities.

"Collect." Ancient words appeared before him once again.

After a brief pondering, Mu Chen said, "Sure, but you must pay the corresponding price for it. The Eight-Divisional Pagoda is one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities in the Great Thousand World, and it’s not any weaker than the Three Pures. So I’m sure you know about the worth of it."

Mu Chen wasn’t against the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, since he knew that the real worth of the Eight-Divisional Pagoda didn’t lie on its cultivation method, but the pagoda pearls that were refined by the Pagoda Ancestor.

That’s because the material used to forge those pearls were Monarchs.

There weren’t any Monarchs to be used as materials in the Great Thousand World. Furthermore, there’s a high chance of failing, and it’s possible to leave you empty-handed.

Thus, Mu Chen had no reason to refuse to leave the Eight-Divisional Pagoda’s cultivation method with the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. Regardless of anything, he was in control of the Ancient Haven Palace, and the Hidden Scripture Pavilion resided here. So, from a certain degree, it could be considered as him passing it from his left hand to right hand.

But this Hidden Scripture Pavilion was exceptionally unusual. Even as the owner of this Ancient Haven Palace, it’s impossible for him to control it.

However, he was more than glad to exchange the cultivation method of the Eight-Divisional Pagoda for something valuable.

Hearing Mu Chen’s words, the Hidden Scripture Pavilion fell into silence. Mu Chen smiled, he also wasn’t in a rush. How could the Hidden Scripture Pavilion take the Eight-Divisional Pagoda’s cultivating method from him for free?

Even if this Hidden Scripture Pavilion was considered as his.

After a long while in silence, the ancient words before Mu Chen distorted once again, "According to its worth, you have two choices. Firstly, a Peerless Divine Ability from the pavilion."

"Peerless Divine Ability?" Mu Chen’s eyes lit up, and as he had expected, there were indeed Peerless Divine Abilities stored in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. However, he had no idea if it was one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities or just an ordinary one. If it was the former, then he would make a huge profit!

Thus, he had directly asked about it, which soon attracted the response of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, "Ordinary one."

The corner of Mu Chen’s mouth twitched. That damnable Hidden Scripture Pavilion was really trying to scam him. It was trying to use an ordinary Peerless Divine Ability to swap for his Eight-Divisional Pagoda? Didn’t this fellow know that the essence of the Eight-Divisional Pagoda lied in its core and not the cultivation method?

"What’s the second one?" Mu Chen asked. If it was an ordinary Peerless Divine Ability, even if it’s attractive, he didn’t really have an urgent need for it, since he had just obtained the Eight-Divisional Pagoda.

"Second option, swap for the Three Pure’s Second Stage’s comprehension."

Mu Chen’s eyes narrowed. The comprehension of the Three Pure’s Second Stage?

When he cultivated the Three Pures, Mu Chen knew that there were three stages, the Three Separation Realm, Three Combination Realm, and the Three God Realm.

Despite cultivating it for days and nights, he’s still on the first stage, the Three Separation Realm. As for the Three Combination Realm, he’s still nowhere near it.

The Three Pures was one of Mu Chen’s most important trump cards, since it would also grow more powerful as his strength improved.

Thus, he wanted to know the might of the Three Combination Realm.

As thoughts circulated in his mind, Mu Chen’s gaze turned resolute before he raised his head and nodded. "I’ll take the second option!"

Compared to wasting the effort to learn another Peerless Divine Ability, Mu Chen would rather focus on what he already possessed.

When Mu Chen nodded his head, his surroundings started to change. The starry sky started to retreat and golden leaves were lying on the ground. A giant tree stood before him and looked to have been engraved with countless runes that flickered with intelligence.

Under the ancient tree, lights suddenly gathered and formed into a silhouette.

"Senior Heavenly Emperor?" Mu Chen exclaimed upon seeing that familiar figure. It was the Heavenly Emperor that he had once met in the past.

But wasn’t the Heavenly Emperor gone? Why was he here, then?

While Mu Chen felt puzzled, the Heavenly Emperor’s silhouette beneath the ancient tree smiled at him before he waved his hand to get Mu Chen to come and stand under the tree as well.

The Heavenly Emperor sat down before he pointed towards the ground, implying for Mu Chen to sit as well.

The Heavenly Emperor’s hands started to form seals and the space around him distorted. Two silhouettes appeared. They were the black and white-robed Heavenly Emperors, the Three Pures!

When Mu Chen saw this, he fell into thoughts. ‘This must be the imprint that the Heavenly Emperor left behind when he was cultivating the Three Pures, which has been imprinted in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.’

The two clones also sat down and closed their eyes before they gently stretched their hands out.

The Heavenly Emperor’s main body nodded towards Mu Chen. The latter briefly hesitated before he form seals and summoned the black and white-clothed Mu Chens as well, his two clones.

Under the golden tree sat six silhouettes face-to-face. The three Mu Chens stretched their hands out and came in contact with three Heavenly Emperors.

In that instant, when their palms came in contact, Mu Chen’s mind instantly rumbled. It was like a chant. Boundless information was flowing into his mind.

Those pieces of information seemed to be scenes; all of them were the scenes of the Heavenly Emperor’s cultivation when he was still alive; every single one of them contained his comprehension.

Mu Chen briefly swept his glance over before he sunk into the scenes. Even the bottleneck that he had encountered when cultivating the Three Pures had opened up, which made him feel enlightened.

He knew how precious this moment was, so he focused his attention into comprehension. With the help of this, he would be able to try and deduce the second stage of the Three Pures...

Mu Chen and his two clones faintly emanated spiritual light and the three lights started to intertwine, forming into strands that linked the three of them together...

...

The Violet Cloud Sect in the Northern Domain

The three geezers’ faces were pale in the hall as a purple light surrounded them with violet mist rising above their heads. After a long while, a hand suddenly retracted from their backs.

"Sect Master!"

Zi Tianbei’s group of three swiftly turned around and saw a man that was as white as jade standing behind them with his hands behind his back. He was donned in a purple robe that emanated a terrifying pressure that caused even this space to tremble.

At this moment, the purple-robed man’s face was a little dark as he snorted, "Such an overbearing seal."

When Zi Tianbei’s group of three heard that, their hearts trembled in fear. "Even Sect Master couldn’t break the seal?"

The Mu Abode’s Ruler was actually so terrifying that even their Sect Master couldn’t undo his seal?

The Violet Cloud Lord’s face was solemn as he faintly replied, "That person is extremely powerful at sealing, and if I were to break it forcefully, you guys would be injured. But fortunately, this seal will only last for a year, then it would disappear naturally."

The faces of Zi Tianbei’s group of three turned bitter. Wouldn’t that mean that, for a year, their cultivation would only be that of a Lesser Earth Sovereign? That youth was truly terrifying, and if they knew about him beforehand, they wouldn’t even dare to go to the Mu Abode...

Seeing their appearance, the Violet Cloud Lord slightly knitted his brows and indifferently said, "Seems like we have underestimated the Mu Abode. I never expected that, in the small Northern Region, there would be such an outstanding figure."

Zi Tianbei’s face flashed with coldness as he replied, "Sect Master, the Mu Abode’s Ruler is extremely overbearing. Not only did he destroy the Violet Cloud Edict, after listening to the news going around, they actually intend to dip their hands at the Overlord position of the Northern Domain and want to stand on the same level as our Violet Cloud Sect!"

Squinting his eyes, the Violet Cloud Lord sneered, "Such wishful thinking!"

The Northern Domain was currently being split by the Violet Cloud Sect, Thunder Note Mountain, and the Golden Eagle Mansion. So if the Mu Abode wanted to rise, they would surely have to seize some territories from the three forces. It was naturally something that the three powers wouldn’t allow.

Just thinking about it, a purple flash flickered in the eyes of the Violet Cloud Lord. "Since this brat’s Mu Abode has this ambition, then I’ll gift him an invitation for the Northern Domain Assembly. I’ll see whether he has the capability to snatch from us!"

The Northern Domain’s situation was already determined, and the Mu Abode thought that they could break this situation and interfere in their matters. As an outcome, they would let the Ruler of the Mu Abode know how ignorant his ambition was!
