Chapter 1231: The Four Holy Children

The turbulence in the Luo God Clan gradually settled down. Yet, the after-effect blew like a gust of wind, stirring up an uproar throughout the entire Western Kingdom Continent. After all, the appearance of the two renowned figures, be it the Flame Emperor or the War Emperor, was enough to shock the various forces.

The Little Western Kingdom was only a little corner of the Western Kingdom Continent. They were considered powerful since the four God Clans lived in it, but on a broader scale, they were only so-so in the entire Western Kingdom Continent. Hence, who could have thought that the trivial fight in the eyes of those top-notch forces could draw out two well-known characters?

The entire matter was investigated thoroughly by those interested top-notch forces. However, the investigation’s outcome was too unbelievable for them. The cause of the entire matter was a young Lower Earthly Sovereign.

Even though Mu Chen was a mere Lower Earthly Sovereign, numerous Lower Earthly Sovereigns and a Complete Earthly Sovereign worked in the Mu Estate he founded.

A Complete Earthly Sovereign!

Such a powerful Sovereign was just a level below the Western Kingdom War Emperor and sufficed to be a heavyweight overload in the Western Kingdom Continent. Yet, this person was willing to submit to Mu Chen and become one of the members in the Mu Estate!

This bizarre situation confused many of the top powers in the Western Kingdom Continent, and it also painted a mysterious color over Mu Chen. After all, he could recruit a Complete Earthly Sovereign just with his strength of Lower Earthly Sovereign. He must have been a remarkable man.

While all the top-notch forces in the Western Kingdom Continent were curious about the mysterious Mu Chen, another piece of news from the Western Kingdom War Temple stirred up a huge commotion on the continent. The War Emperor announced personally that Mu Chen would be participating in the Child of the Continent Battle Trial. On top of that, he would be going into the Battlefield of Upper Earthly Sovereigns!

The entire Western Kingdom Continent steamed up upon hearing the news. Numerous Sovereigns expressed their disapproval of an outsider’s participation in the trial, and the disapproval eventually turned into explosive outrage. Not only did an outsider take some advantages, but as a Lower Earthly Sovereign, he also obtained an entry to the Battlefield of Upper Earthly Sovereigns.

Did he think he was some formidable figure that could disregard those Upper Earthly Sovereigns in the Western Kingdom Continent?

Numerous Upper Earthly Sovereigns let out a burst of angry laughter. Mu Chen had showcased his outstanding capabilities in the Luo God Clan’s fight. With that standard, he could easily top the rest of the Lower Earthly Sovereigns, but that did not mean he could jump his rank and challenge the Upper Earthly Sovereigns.

The three levels of Earthly Sovereign had a vast difference between each of them. It was just like Mandela in the North Territory back then. When she had just entered Upper Earthly Sovereign, not only did she exterminate the entire Divine Pavilion, but she also forced sects like Tian Xuan Hall and Netherworld Palace to form the North Territory Alliance. All this could not have been done without Mandela’s strength of Upper Earthly Sovereign. That illustrated the mightiness of the Upper Earthly Sovereign.

But as a Lower Earthly Sovereign, Mu Chen was going to snatch the food from the bowls of those Upper Earthly Sovereigns in the Western Kingdom Continent. He simply took them too lightly.

As such, many Upper Earthly Sovereigns were secretly exasperated. All of them had the same thought. They would make the ignorant and arrogant fellow regret coming to the Western Kingdom Continent if they met him in the Battlefield of Upper Earthly Sovereigns.

“You got into the black books of many Upper Earthly Sovereigns as soon as this piece of news went out,” said Luo Li helplessly. Back in the Luo God Palace, Luo Li looked at Mu Chen with concern once she heard about it.

Mu Chen did not seem to be bothered by this and laughed. The entries for the “Child of the Continent” were too sparse and rare. The death stares were unavoidable since he was going to hijack their opportunities.

However, Mu Chen was rather concerned about the message that the War Emperor delivered. He seemed displeased with him. He guessed some people would find trouble for him, just to win favors from the War Emperor.

Apparently, the Western Kingdom War Emperor did that on purpose. After all, it would not be appropriate for him to strike at Mu Chen given his status, but what he could do was leak out some of his intentions. Naturally, countless people would help him with this. Consequently, this Child of the Continent Battle Trial might be a tough challenge for him.

“This Western Kingdom War Emperor is really unkind.” Luo Tianlong could not help but comment. He was quite satisfied with Mu Chen after they had gotten along over these past few days. Moreover, Mu Chen was considered an insider in their family, given his relationship with Luo Li. Hence, he put himself in Mu Chen’s shoes and was concerned for him.

He cast a glance at Mu Chen and continued, “I guess there’s not much possibility in this. Why don’t you give up?”

Luo Tianlong was not belittling Mu Chen. If he was going for the Battlefield of Lower Earthly Sovereigns, he was sure that Mu Chen would definitely win. However, this was, after all, the Battlefield of Upper Earthly Sovereigns. No matter what he thought, grabbing the only slot from those Upper Earthly Sovereigns was deemed impossible.

Mu Chen smiled and shook his head. The Flame Emperor had done his best to get this rare opportunity for him. He would not give up regardless of what people said.

“What a stubborn lad!” Luo Tianlong glared at him and looked at Luo Li. “Why don’t you dissuade him? All the Upper Earthly Sovereigns in the entire Western Kingdom Continent are waiting to teach him a lesson.”

Luo Li drew her lips into a smile. A script appeared as she flipped her jaded-hands. She handed it to Mu Chen and said, “All the information regarding the Upper Earthly Sovereigns within the Western Kingdom Continent and the Western Kingdom War Temple is inside this script. If you’re going to attend the Battlefield of Upper Earthly Sovereigns, you’ll need this information for sure.”

Mu Chen rejoiced greatly. Although he was not afraid to enter the Battlefield of Upper Earthly Sovereigns, he was not an arrogant person. All this information was crucial for him.

Luo Tianlong could not help but roll his eyes when he saw that Luo Li had secretly prepared all the information for him instead of stopping him. Luo Tianshen smiled and shook his head. “Let the young ones handle their own matters.”

In fact, Luo Tianshen took this easily. He knew that Mu Chen was not a reckless person. If he had decided to participate in the Upper Earthly Sovereign Battlefield, he must have confidence in doing so. However, it was indeed tedious for a Lower Earthly Sovereign to be up against an Upper Earthly Sovereign, so Luo Tianshen felt quite incredulous about his confidence sometimes. However, he chose to trust Mu Chen based on his past experience with him.

After the teasing from the two seniors, Luo Li also smiled radiantly at Mu Chen. With bright eyes and shining smile, her beauty made Mu Chen’s heart flutter. He gazed at her, and Luo Li was shy about it. She gave a soft look to Mu Chen before she opened her rosy lips and said, “There are many Upper Earthly Sovereigns who have submitted to the Western Kingdom War Temple from the Western Kingdom Continent and the regions around it. Of those, you need to take note of these three people.”

“Oh?” Talking about a serious matter, Mu Chen withdrew his audacious gaze and asked solemnly, “Who are they?”

“The Star Pavilion Master, Liu Xingchen; the Sword Deity Lang Ya, Su Mu; and Ba Dao Chu Men.”

Upon hearing the three names from Luo Li, even Luo Tianshen nodded with a serious face. “These three people are highly reputable in the Western Kingdom Continent. They beat numerous opponents of their same level. That’s their common point. Even though I have regained my strength, I’m afraid I could only protect myself if I met any one of them. As such, they are some of the hot figures in the Battlefield of Upper Earthly Sovereigns.”

“Liu Xingchen, Su Mu, Chu Men…” Mu Chen murmured. His expression was solemn. Even Luo Tianshen agreed that they were formidable. They must have outstanding abilities.

“Although the three of them are popular figures, they are not the seeds.” Just when Mu Chen put these three people onto the danger list, Luo Li made an alarming remark again. Mu Chen quickly narrowed his eyes. How could these three difficult people not be considered as the seeds?

Luo Tianshen also let out a sigh. “These three people may not be easy to deal with, but they are still far off from those natural born talents.”

“Natural born?” Mu Chen was slightly stunned, and he was sharp enough to catch the most important keywords.

Luo Li nodded gently. “In the Western Kingdom War Temple, there are four Holy Children. They are Ling Zhanzi, Ling Jianzi, Ling Longzi, and Ling Feizi. The first three Holy Children will be participating in the Battlefield of Upper Earthly Sovereigns. The Western Kingdom War Emperor spent tremendous effort in grooming them for this round of the Child of the Continent Battle Trial! They are highly well-known in the Western Kingdom Continent, and they have a common point, too.” Luo Li could not help but pause as her expression changed.

Sensing the change in Luo Li’s expression, Mu Chen squinted slightly and asked, “What’s their common point?”

Luo Li and Luo Tianshen exchanged a look before Luo Li said, “They have killed Upper Earthly Sovereigns before.”

“They have killed Upper Earthly Sovereigns?!” On hearing this, even Mu Chen was shocked. His expression immediately turned solemn. Now he realized how arduous it would be to become a Child of the Continent in this Western Kingdom Continent.
