Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Holy Gulf City became more bustling as more top forces started to flood in. The Ancient Holy Gulf was one of the battlegrounds of the Great Thousand World and the Extraterritorial Race during the Primordial Age. Many masters had died there, thus the treasures that it contained were much sought after by the various top forces.
If it were not for the Ancient Holy Gulf’s space windstorm, many Heaven Sovereigns would have taken action, as even they were tempted by the Super Powers. Although the Heavenly Sovereigns could not strike, the top forces had sent out their top teams to see if they could obtain some opportunities. All the top forces were eyeing the Holy Gulf City, and it had now become the most bustling city.
When the teams from the top forces flooded into the Holy Gulf City, Mu Chen went into seclusion and spent his time studying the gnosis of the spiritual arrays that his mother had given him. He had a feeling that he was about to have a breakthrough.
The horrifying space windstorm covered the Ancient Holy Gulf, thus the groups from the various top forces waited for the windstorm to weaken before their Heavenly Sovereigns could send them into the Ancient Holy Gulf.
As for Mu Chen, he intended to make use of this opportunity to break through to the Advance Ancestral Master level! He knew that there would be fierce fights in the Ancient Holy Gulf, thus he had to gear himself up.
…
At one of the inns in the Holy Gulf City, a man in green was sitting cross-legged with a bamboo stick lit in the room. The scent was pleasant, and one could achieve better results in his cultivation by breathing in the aroma from the bamboo stick.
After cultivating for two hours, the man opened his eyes and asked with a smile, “Has he rejected my invitation?”
Lion King Gu stepped out from behind him and said gravely, “Little Lord, Mu Chen is so arrogant. I have sent your invitation to him twice, but he has rejected it!”
“This silly fellow! He thinks that he has the support of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan, thus he is so presumptuous!”
The man in green was Xuan Luo of the Budur Ancient Clan. He shook his head and said, “It is all right. I wanted to give him a chance, but since he doesn’t appreciate it, then forget it.” Although Xuan Luo was smiling warmly, his eyes were cold.
Evil Fish Liang said as he stood beside Lion King Gu, “Ha! This guy doesn’t know what is good for him. If he hands the Qi into Trinity over to Little Lord, you could help him escape from the Budur Ancient Clan.”
Xuan Luo smiled and replied, “It is all right. He will get what he asks for.”
“The Scarlet Flame Deity can protect him now, but once he enters the Ancient Holy Gulf, he will not be able to escape!” Xuan Luo sneered and clenched his fists. He had never taken Mu Chen seriously. He was more concerned that Mo Xin would capture Mu Chen before him. It would pose a threat to him if Mo Xin got his hands on the Qi into Trinity.
“However, our main objective in getting into the Ancient Holy Gulf is to obtain the Eight Budur. Mu Chen is just a bonus…” Xuan Luo paused before saying, “Many top forces have sent their men to the Holy Gulf City. I need information about them.”
Although Xuan Luo was confident, he was a meticulous person. He wanted to know if there were people who could possibly pose a threat to him.
“Yes!” Lion King Gu and Evil Fish Ling replied respectfully and disappeared.
After the two of them had left, the room became silent again. Xuan Luo flicked his fingertips and lifted his head. He looked in the direction of the Holy Gulf City and turned grim. His gaze was so cold that even the air in the room froze.
“This guy doesn’t know what is good for him…” A killing intent flashed in his eyes. “In that case, I shall cripple you before bringing you back to our clan. I shall see how your mother is going to protect you!”
Xuan Luo would be merciless in dealing with the perpetrator. When Qing Yanjing was enraged and went overboard, the First Elder would have no choice but to punish her. If he could suppress Qing Yanjing, the elders would support him, and he would then be the next Clan Master.
…
At one of the courtyards in the Holy Gulf City.
“Has Mu Chen turned down Xuan Luo’s invitation twice?” Elder Qing Xuan frowned and said, “What does Xuan Luo want? Given his character, it is so unlike him to be so nice to Mu Chen.”
“Who knows!” Qing Ling shrugged and said, “Mu Chen spoke so arrogantly earlier, but in the end, he keeps avoiding Xuan Luo.”
Elder Qing Xuan looked at her and shook her head and said, “Don’t underestimate Mu Chen.”
Qing Ling said defiantly, “I am also an Upper Earthly Sovereign. His level is at most the same as mine. What is so great about him?”
Elder Qing Xuan smiled and said, “Do you not think that a person is really something if he can become an Upper Earthly Sovereign and obtain the title of Child of the Western Continent based on his own efforts? Moreover, he knows the Flame Emperor of the Endless Fire Territory.”
When Qing Ling heard what Elder Qing Xuan had said, her eyes widened. Even Qing Shuang, who looked cold, turned grave.
“Is this true?” Qing Shuang asked.
Elder Qing Xuan nodded and sighed. “A few days ago, I paid a tidy sum to obtain this information. Frankly speaking, I am shocked as well…” Having said that, she looked pleased and said, “This guy takes after Jing. He is indeed talented. If he had been with our clan, even Xuan Luo would be no match for him.”
“Even though he is powerful, he is just an Upper Earthly Sovereign. He is no match for Xuan Luo and Mo Xian,” Qing Ling said, pouting her lips.
Elder Qing Xuan nodded and agreed with Qing Ling. “From what I know, the best time to enter the Ancient Holy Gulf will be two weeks from now.” Elder Qing Xuan looked at Qing Shuang and said, “After you get in, do your best to protect Mu Chen. Don’t let Xuan Luo and Mo Xin harm him. After all, he is Jing’s son and possesses our bloodline.”
Qing Shuang nodded. “Aunt Xuan, don’t worry. I will definitely help him if he gets into trouble.”
…
As everyone waited patiently, the two weeks finally ended.
Sunlight tore the thick clouds apart and shined on the Holy Gulf City. Suddenly, the city was full of vitality.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Shadows shot out one after another toward the sky. They turned into streamers and headed deep into the Holy Gulf Continent. Some powerful spiritual energy fluctuations shot up into the sky as well. These were the Heavenly Sovereigns who were ready to get into action.
As the Holy Gulf City was in an uproar, Mu Chen, who had been meditating for the past two weeks, slowly opened his eyes. Colorful lights reflected in his dark eyes like stars. He stretched out his hands, and majestic spiritual energy gathered toward him. He could indistinctly feel countless spiritual seals merging into the void.
The space suddenly became hot. In a few minutes, a red space appeared in his palm. It was filled with destructive fluctuations, and it was terrifying. Mu Chen became excited as he looked at the red space.
Hoof.
Mu Chen let out a breath and smiled. The red space was a spiritual array… the Advance Ancestral Master’s Array, the Blazing Fire Array!
Apparently, Mu Chen had a breakthrough in his spiritual array attainment after studying and meditating during this period. He was now an Advance Ancestral Master! He stood up and looked at the Holy Gulf City and smiled.
“Xuan Luo… Mo Xin…” Mu Chen waved his sleeve, and the red space in his palm disappeared. He then disappeared with his voice resounding in the area. “The Eight Budur… I must get my hands on it!”
