Chapter 1373: The Journey to Become a Heavenly Sovereign

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Mu Chen’s meditation did not last as long as he had hoped it would, as on the tenth day, he was forced to break his state of cultivation. He had been interrupted by a letter…

Deep in the Heavenly River, as Mu Chen opened his eyes, a purple petal floated inside a beam of purple light. It was constantly shaking, causing the space to vibrate.

As Mu Chen gazed at the purple petal, his gaze grew somber. He knew instantly that this was a message from Mandela. As she would not normally disturb him when he was meditating, he knew that this must be an important matter that she couldn’t solve on her own.

Could it be that the supreme power behind the Purple Cloud Sect has finally struck?

Mu Chen’s expression was grave. If the supreme power did not give face to the Great Thousand Palace and was hell-bent on clashing with the Mu Estate, it would be troublesome indeed. If matters escalated, he would have to call in the favor that the Martial Ancestor owed him.

Things sure are troublesome when one hasn’t yet become a Heavenly Sovereign.

Mu Chen frowned. In this Great Thousand World, if one wanted to truly dominate a region and make people afraid to provoke him, he must be a Heavenly Sovereign. Otherwise, he had to be cautious and wary of many things.

With a sigh in his heart, Mu Chen stretched out his palm. As he held the purple petals in his hand, he stood up and disappeared.

The Mu Estate, within a main hall.

Mu Chen looked directly at Mandela, who was standing beside Ling Xi and Long Xiang. “What’s going on?” he asked.

Mandela looked at Mu Chen, who had just appeared, and sighed with relief. She pointed to the hall and said, “There’s someone looking for you. She said that she must only talk to you.”

Her gaze swept over Mu Chen meaningfully as she teased, “Did you get into a romantic entanglement?”

Mu Chen rolled his eyes at her, then looked towards the hall. He immediately froze as a girl dressed in white stood up. She was exquisite, but her demeanor was like an iceberg.

“Qing Shuang?” When Mu Chen looked at the beautiful woman in the hall, he was stunned. Obviously, he had not expected that she would come to the Mu Estate to look for him.

Seeing Mu Chen, Qing Shuang heaved a sigh of relief. She then grit her teeth and exclaimed, “Mu Chen, Aunt Jing is in trouble!”

When Qing Shuang’s voice rang out, Mu Chen’s face suddenly changed. In a flash, he appeared in front of Qing Shuang. He then gripped her wrists tightly and asked urgently, “What happened to my mother?”

At that moment, a vast spiritual energy erupted from his body, causing the entire space to shake. It was clear that he was experiencing great emotional turmoil.

Qing Shuang looked at Mu Chen and sighed gently. “A few days ago, Elder Hei Guang and Mo Yin returned to the clan and reported to the Chief Elder that the Eight Budur is in your hands now.”

She looked at him for a moment, then continued, “They then called for a Council Meeting and intended to send out law enforcement guards to capture you and take the Eight Budur away.”

Mu Chen’s eyes flashed with a cold glint upon hearing this. These two old dogs still keep lingering around like vengeful spirits! The Great Thousand Palace tried stop them, but they still persist!

Breaking into his thoughts, she then continued her story, “During the Council Meeting, the Xuan and Mo bloodlines held the majority of the seats. Although we opposed them, it was useless. But, just as the order was about to be passed, Aunt Jing suddenly broke into the Elder Academy!”

Mu Chen’s face was incredibly dark upon hearing this..

“Aunt Jing knew that Hei Guang and Mo Yin had struck at you, so she was furious. She then injured them gravely and made a scene at the Elder Academy. She turned that place upside down!” A bitter smile appeared on Qing Shuang’s face, as one could only imagine how earth-shattering that scene was!

In the Elder Academy, there were many elders who were incredibly formidable. But, even these arrogant elders had cowered when they were confronted by Aunt Jing!

Mu Chen took a deep breath and asked, “Then what happened?”

He knew that if that was the end of the story, then Qing Shuang would not have to worked so hard to send such a message to him. With a sigh, she said, “The matter finally escalated and Chief Elder fought with Aunt Jing. But, in the end, the outcome was still inconclusive.”

She sighed again, then said, “Chief Elder then had to summon the Budur Ancient Seal and use the power of the Ancestor Pagoda. He then sealed Aunt Jing into the Ancestor Pagoda.”

Hearing this, rage erupted in Mu Chen’s eyes. He then asked gravely, “What is the Ancestor Pagoda?”

“It is the Sacred Artifact of the Budur Ancient Clan. Is rumored that the pagoda that we have cultivated is derived from it. But, the Ancestor Pagoda is rarely used,” Qing Shuang whispered. “Once it is summoned, even Divine Heavenly Sovereigns fear it. Now that Aunt Jing is suppressed within it, she will not be as carefree as she used to be.”

Although Aunt Jing used to be imprisoned in the clan, with her power, she could leave if she wanted to. However, now that she was trapped in the Ancestor Pagoda, even if it was not life-threatening, her time spent there would surely cause her to suffer.

Mu Chen was expressionless as he slowly clenched his fist. His body trembled slightly, and anyone could see that he was like a volcano that was about to erupt.

“Mu Chen, calm down!” Ling Xi stepped forward and grasped Mu Chen’s palm as she urged him.

“Those b******s!” Mu Chen raised his fist to the sky, while his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Because she had tried to protect him, his mother had been isolated among the people of the Budur Ancient Clan. However, she still regarded him as her top priority. As such, once anyone touched him, no matter what the consequences for her were, she would do whatever it took to protect him!

As he thought of this, Mu Chen’s heart was filled with shame. He felt that he was not even worthy of being her son.

“Mu Chen, calm down. Although Aunt Jing has been suppressed in the Ancestor Pagoda, with her power, nothing serious will happen to her. Moreover, even Chief Elder is afraid to force Aunt Jing’s hand.” Ling Xi attempted to calm him.

Qing Shuang also said hurriedly, “Aunt Jing acted in such a way in order to warn the eager elders of the Budur Ancient Clan. At least Chief Elder has now suppressed the Clan Order and has forbidden the Heavenly Sovereigns from taking action against you.”

However, Mu Chen only glanced at her coldly and asked, “Am I supposed to thank them?”

“That’s not what I meant,” she said with a wry smile. “But, you have to know that Aunt Jing is doing all of this to protect you.”

Mu Chen’s gaze was dark. After a long time, his trembling body slowly calmed, as he knew that no matter how enraged he was now, acting rashly would not help.

Moreover, it would be useless for him to attempt to charge to the Budur Ancient Clan now. This was because his current strength was not enough to cause the Budur Ancient Clan to have even the slightest fear of him.

A mere Complete Earthly Sovereign may be possible to reign in other places, but for the Budur Ancient Clan, which was a supreme force, only a Heavenly Sovereign could cause their hearts to shiver.

Mu Chen glanced at Qing Shuang coldly, then asked, “Did your Qing bloodline just stand by and watch my mother struggle helplessly?”

Qing Shuang bit her red lips and said, “The Qing bloodline is weak now, so we can’t compare to the Xuan and Mo bloodlines. What’s more, the Qing bloodline master is conservative and weak, and he dared not clash with the other two bloodlines.”

“What an imbecile! He doesn’t even know that if one of two interdependent links falls, the other one is immediately put in danger, too!” Mu Chen sneered mercilessly. Although he had not seen this Qing bloodline master, if this person thought that such a cowardly compromise could obtain his survival, then he was undoubtedly a fool!

Qing Shuang smiled bitterly, but did not dispute his words. “I have come to remind you that, although Aunt Jing has made such a scene, the elders of the Budur Ancient Clan will not do anything to you for the time being. But, they have a vast network and know many other Heavenly Sovereigns. Though they are unable to deal with you in person, they might hire someone to deal with you on their behalf.”

Mu Chen’s eyes narrowed and eyes glinted with a cold light. His heart was filled with a suffocating anger. Although dominating the North Region had originally given him a slight sense of self-satisfaction, this feeling how now been completely broken.

He appeared to be unstoppable in the North Region, yet he still needed his mother to protect him in the Budur Ancient Clan, even using her body to shield many crises for him. All of this was because his strength was still not great enough!

As a Complete Earthly Sovereign, he was still weak. But, if he stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign level, he would no longer have to fear the Budur Ancient Clan! Then, his mother would not have to be subjected to the Budur Ancient Clan’s imprisonment in order to protect him!

“Thank you.” Mu Chen took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions in his heart.

He looked at Qing Shuang as the tension in his expression gradually eased. In any case, as Qing Shuang had travelled so far to bring him this important information, she had earned his deep gratitude.

Qing Shuang shook her head and said with regret, “We have failed you.”

Mu Chen was also one of their Qing bloodline, and was thus regarded as family, yet they had been powerless to intervene on his behalf.

Mu Chen waved his hand, then paused,while looking at Mandela and the others. He then said, “Now, I will leave the Mu Estate for a while, but I will leave behind the Demon Slayer King Token. Then, if any supreme powers come to seek trouble, by virtue of this token, they will not be able to make things difficult for the Mu Estate, even if they can’t find me.”

“What about you?” Mandela and Ling Xi asked at the same time.

Mu Chen raised his head and looked at the endless sky. His dark eyes gradually grew determined as he clenched his fists tightly and said, “It is time for me to embark on a journey to finally become a Heavenly Sovereign!”
