After Dong Shan and his team had left, the strong spiritual energy fluctuations from Wen Qingxuan and her team gradually calmed down. They had thought that the fight would be inevitable, but fortunately, Mu Chen and his team had arrived on time and frightened Dong Shan and his team away.
“Are you all right?” Mu Chen asked with a smile as he turned to look at Wen Qingxuan and her team.
Wen Ziyu cupped his fist with a smile and said, “Thank you, Brother Mu. If it was not for you, we would have had to fight it out today.”
“Ha. If we really get into a fight with them, they will be the ones to suffer.” Wen Qingxuan snorted. A coldness glittered in her eyes, as apparently, she was quite upset with Dong Shan.
Mu Chen was a little taken aback. He could tell from Wen Qingxuan’s tone that she was not bragging. However, among the six of them in her team, Wen Ziyu was the most powerful.
He was a Half Step to Earthly Sovereign, but it seemed impossible for him to contend with Dong Shan, who was a Complete Earthly Sovereign. Needless to say, there was still a great disparity between the two of them. So, judging from the situation, Wen Qingxuan and her team must have some hidden trump cards.
When Wen Qingxuan saw Mu Chen’s stunned look, she put her hands on her hips and said proudly, “You had better not look down on us. If we did not have any means, we would not be here!”
“However, what about you? Don’t tell me that you are depending on Sister Ling Xi and Long Xiang to protect you!” Wen Qingxuan said jokingly as she tilted her head to one side, while sizing up Mu Chen.
Although Mu Chen currently possessed the power of an Upper Earthly Sovereign, the teams that had come to the Ancient Holy Gulf also possessed great strength. The level of an Upper Earthly Sovereign was considered as high, but among the teams, he was deemed as ordinary, as only a true Complete Earthly Sovereign could take these people by storm.
Among the four people in Mu Chen’s team, only Ling Xi seemed to possess this ability. Even Wen Qingxuan felt that she was the most powerful person in the team.
Mu Chen smiled and glanced at her without saying another word. He then asked, “Is someone eyeing you?”
The earlier team that was comprised of the Demon Slayers had not only blocked the path of Wen Qingxuan and her team, but they had hidden in order to ambush them. Thus, it was apparent that they were targeting them!
When Wen Qingxuan heard this, she stopped smiling and her eyes turned cold once more. She then said, “If I have guessed correctly, they should be acting under the instructions of Wu Jia from the Gobi Desert.”
“Wu Jian from the Gobi Desert?” Luo Li’s eyes turned grave and she said, “The Gobi Desert is a top force, and they are as powerful as your clan. They have quite a reputation in The Great Thousand World.”
Wen Qingxuan nodded and said, “We have paid a high price to obtain the information about the Heavenly Sovereign Relic. However, Wu Jia secretly came in and stole that information from us.”
She then added, “As only Wu Jia and my clan knew about the information, since Dong Shan and his team are here to stop us, I believe that Wu Jia must be the one behind this.”
Wen Ziyu, who was beside Wen Qingxuan, nodded and said, “If Dong Shan did not have the backing of Wu Jia, he would not have had the audacity to do this. As such, I believe that Wu Jia and his team are already on their way to the Heavenly Sovereign Relic.”
Mu Chen nodded, then asked, “Can you share with us the information about the Heavenly Sovereign Relic?”
One could not stress enough how valuable the Heavenly Sovereign Relic was. If Wen Qingxuan and her team did not have any information about the Heavenly Sovereign Relic, Mu Chen and his team would have a hard time finding it.
Although Mu Chen had helped Wen Qingxuan and her team get out of trouble, he was not someone who would use it to force Wen Qingxuan to provide him with the information. So, as he made his request, his tone was filled with humility. He simply needed to have detailed information so that he could assess the risks that were involved.
As Wen Qingxuan had no intention of hiding the information from them, she said, “You are now our partners. We will definitely tell you whatever we know. The Heavenly Sovereign Relic was left behind by a Heavenly Sovereign by the name of Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy during the Primordial Age.”
“Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy?” Mu Chen repeated the name, while he and Luo Li looked at each other in amazement.
“Yes. The Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy is known for her ability to refine pills. Although she only possesses the strength of a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign, the pills that she refines are so good, even the Divine Heavenly Sovereigns praise them,” Wen Qingxuan explained.

She then added, “There are still a lot of elixirs in the relic. The elixirs are valuable, and every time an elixir is out in the market, the top powers are instantly after it. The same applies to the Saint Spiritual Pill. I have heard that it is able to help a Half Step to Complete Earthly Sovereign cross the bar and step into the Complete Earthly Sovereign level. In fact, Wen Ziyu’s objective for this trip is to get ahold of a Saint Spiritual Pill.”
As Wen Qingxuan said this, she pointed to Wen Ziyu, who was standing beside her. When Wen Ziyu heard Wen Qingxuan mention the Saint Spiritual Pill, he could not hide his excitement.
Wen Ziyu was not alone. Even when Long Xiang heard it mentioned, he swallowed hard. He was a Half Step to Complete Earthly Sovereign as well, so of course he was interested in the Saint Spiritual Pill. This Saint Spiritual Pill could help them do away with the years of cultivation that were currently needed before crossing the Half Step bar. Once that had it, they could cross that bar instantly!
“Of course, the Saint Spiritual Pill is not the best accomplishment of the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy. According to rumors, the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy’s favorite creation is her Sublimation Pill. In fact, she is quite proud of it, as this pill is able to bring any Super Power to the next level, including the Rare Super Power!” Wen Qingxuan said.
When Mu Chen heard this, he was speechless. Although the effect of the Sublimation Pill seemed ordinary, he knew how difficult it was to bring up the level of a Rare Super Power. He knew this because the Immortal Golden Body that he had cultivated was a Sovereign Celestial Body that possessed three Sovereign Super Powers…. The Immortal God Rune, the Immortal Lotus, and the Immortal Change of Life and Death.
After cultivating for some time, Mu Chen had only reached the first level. He still had not developed the second level, which was the Immortal Lotus.
If I could get my hands on a Sublimation Pill, I will be able to activate the second Sovereign Super Power! When Mu Chen thought of this, he became excited.
“Other than these things, there are many other elixirs that the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy left behind in the Heavenly Relic. The value of these elixirs is too great to mention, and even my clan is eyeing them,” Wen Qingxuan said.
Mu Chen nodded. The elixirs that had been left behind by a Heavenly Sovereign, who was quite good at alchemy, were indeed treasures. If Wen Qingxuan’s clan managed to get their hands on them, their status and power would be greatly enhanced.
“No wonder Wu Jia has gone all out to stop you. He will stoop to any means to get such a great treasure!” Luo Li exclaimed. She knew that, if Wu Jia could get his hands on the Heavenly Sovereign Relic, his strength would be greatly enhanced and he would no longer be afraid of them.
Wen Qingxuan nodded. Then, she looked at Mu Chen and his team and said, “If we are successful in this mission, each team will get half of the elixirs.”
When she said that, everyone was shocked. Even the few top powers from the Wen’s, who were standing behind Wen Qingxuan, were taken aback. They all looked at one another with their jaws dropped, as this amount was beyond what they had ever expected. After all, the Wen’s had paid a high price to obtain the information.
To put it bluntly, if they were to look for partners according to this portion, many of the teams who were more powerful than Mu Chen and his team would have pounced at the opportunity to collaborate with them. However, just as they were about to open their mouths, Wen Qingxuan looked sharply at them to stop them.
She then said calmly, “The Heavenly Sovereign Relic does not belong to us yet, so do not take it as though we already own it. You can tell from what Wu Jia has done that he is going all out to get ahold of the Heavenly Sovereign Relic. As we are already behind them, if we depend on our own strength, we may not even get a single thing out of all of this.”
She paused for a while and looked thoughtfully at Mu Chen, then smiled and said, “Moreover, based on a woman’s instinct, I think that Mu Chen is worth this price.”
Although she had mocked Mu Chen earlier, her instinct told her that, out of the four people in Mu Chen’s team, Ling Xi was actually not the most powerful among them. Although Mu Chen was only an Upper Earthly Sovereign, she felt that he was indeed the most powerful.
Since Wen Qingxuan held a high status, the rest of them did not have any objections. Wen Ziyu then stood out, smiled at Mu Chen, and said, “In this case, we will have to depend on Brother Mu to help us have a fruitful trip.”
Mu Chen smiled back at him, then shifted his gaze to look at Wen Qingxuan. After pondering for a while, he said, “Although it may seem like we are taking advantage of you by accepting this gracious portion, I believe that you will find it a good deal.”
Although he sounded extremely gentle and calm, his smile was filled with confidence. It seemed magical, as it had instantly put the minds of the top powers at ease.
Wen Qingxuan took a long look at Mu Chen. The confidence that he exuded was similar to the time when he had fought with the five Academies in the past. Although he had to face many powerful opponents, he had been filled with so much confidence in himself that not only had he boosted his own morale, his confidence had boosted the confidence level of all of the people around him as well.
After all these years, although Mu Chen had gone through a lot, he still possessed that same self-confidence. In this world, only those people who continued to trust in themselves would not be defeated by the trials and obstructions that life threw at them. These were truly the only ones worthy enough to climb to the top!
As Wen Qingxuan smiled, she looked extremely captivating. She was indeed as beautiful as Luo Li.
She stretched out her hand and said with a smile, “I hope that we will have a great partnership.”
Mu Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to grab ahold of her small, tender hand. “We will definitely succeed in that…”
