The Great Ruler

The Vajra Spirit Breaking Liquid was a unique treasure between the heavens and earth, transformed from the Vajra Spirit Breaking Rock. It had properties of being unbreakable, and the shape could also be changed. Furthermore, it had a unique piercing property, causing it to be extremely lethal. Even the forging of most Peerless Saint Artifacts would add a little Vajra Spirit Breaking Liquid in it, so one could see how precious this stuff was.

"You got your eye on it? You intend to forge your own Peerless Saint Artifact?" The Pavilion Master Lu said in surprise when he saw Mu Chen's gaze.

Mu Chen shook his head as he smiled. He had no intentions of forging his own Peerless Saint Artifact, but the Vajra Spirit Breaking Liquid had a special use to him. His Immortal Golden Body could form the Divine Immortal Runes, which could be shaped according to his wishes.

If he could cover his Divine Immortal Runes in a layer of Vajra Spirit Breaking Liquid, the might of his attacks would be a whole new level higher. Who knows, it might even be comparable to a Peerless Saint Artifact.

It's undoubtedly a perfect treasure for him.

Glancing at the price tag on it, it cost 3,000 Demon Slayer Points as well. After a brief silence, he waved his hand and exchanged it.

With the Vajra Spirit Breaking Liquid paired along with the Divine Immortal Runes, it could practically unleash the might that of a genuine Peerless Saint Artifact. Furthermore, due to the transforming properties of the Divine Immortal Runes, he could use them to attack and defend. It's equivalent to owning a Peerless Divine Artifact that could transform.

Thus, after obtaining the Vajra Spirit Breaking Liquid, Mu Chen was only left with 2,000 Demon Slayer Points, which he swapped them for some Middle Rank Saint Artifacts and pellets that were useful for Ninth Grade Sovereigns and Lesser Earth Sovereigns.

Although he didn't need them, it was a rare opportunity for his Mu Abode.

After spending all the Demon Slayer Points, Mu Chen then dusted his hands and was led out of the storage room by Pavilion Master Lu.

…

"You intend to head to the Ancient Spirit Clan?" When Mu Chen met Luo Li, he exclaimed after hearing the latter's intentions to follow Celestial Chi Yan back to the Ancient Spirit Clan.

Luo Li smiled as she nodded her head. Her pearly-white face was glittering with a lustre that looked exceptionally dazzling.

"The Luo God Clan has gone onto the right track. The Blood God Clan is no longer a threat now that they're heavily injured. As long as the Luo God Clan continues to do what it does, there won't be a problem." Luo Li replied gently.

Mu Chen knitted his brows. Luo Li wasn't too interested in the Ancient Spirit Clan earlier, so why did she suddenly change her mind?

Mu Chen's gaze flickered as he stared at Luo Li. "You're going to the Ancient Spirit Clan for me?"

Luo Li was briefly stunned, but she knew that she couldn't bluff him. Biting on her rosy lips, she replied, "I'm too weak to help you right now."

She was furious at how the Ancient Buddha Clan tried to push Mu Chen. She was helpless. Facing a Heavenly Sovereign, even the Luo Shen Celestial Body that she had cultivated couldn't pose any help.

Furthermore, she had realised how weak she was on this trip to the Primordial Sacred Abyss. She wasn't able to help Mu Chen; on the contrary, Mu Chen even had to worry about her all the time. It was undoubtedly something unacceptable for someone as prideful as her.

If she wanted to catch up to Mu Chen's footsteps, then she could only head to the Ancient Spirit Clan and become the Holy Maiden. Furthermore, if she became the Holy Maiden, she would have an extraordinary status in the Ancient Spirit Clan.

With the Ancient Spirit Clan as backing, if Mu Chen and the Ancient Buddha Clan really fell out, she would be able to use the power of the Ancient Spirit Clan to help him.

Staring at Luo Li, Mu Chen knew what she's thinking in her heart and couldn't help feeling touched.

The Ancient Spirit Clan was one of the Five Ancient Clans, and eve though Luo Li has obtained the inheritance of the Ancient Spirit Channelling Light, it would still be laborious for her to stabilise her position as the Holy Maiden.

But he understood her feelings for wanting to move forth.

"Luo Li…" Luo Li stretched her tender hand out as she gently covered Mu Chen's mouth and smiled. "Stop trying to persuade me. I have already made my decision. At least it's safe in the Ancient Spirit Clan, and you don't have to worry about me."

Mu Chen's gaze was complicated as he looked at the face of the girl before him. He could see resolution in her eyes. He knew that Luo Li had already made her decision.

Thus, he could only gently nod his head before he took out the Heavenly Spirit Jade Essence and smiled. "For you, it's beneficial for your cultivation."

Luo Li received it with curiosity. It was an exquisite earring made of crystals. The emerald jade essence hanging on it emanated an extremely pure aura that made her heart feel calm as the circulation of her Spiritual Energy sped up.

"This is the Heavenly Spirit Jade Essence?" Luo Li had instantly recogniSed it and exclaimed in shock. Naturally, she knew how precious this was.

Nodding his head, Mu Chen said, "Wear it and see how it looks."

Luo Li did not refuse. She nodded her head and wore the crystal earring.

Her ear was pearly-white, and with the crystallised earring, it looked even more gorgeous, adding a charm onto her.

Gently caressing the earring, Luo Li turned around and smiled. "Does it look good?"

Her smile was so incredibly charming that she could even topple an entire kingdom with her smile.

Although she and Mu Chen were in the corner of the Great Thousand Pavilion, she still attracted many shocked gazes over.

Mu Chen turned around and blocked their view towards Luo Li. "In the future, you're not allowed to smile so charmingly without me around."

Luo Li couldn't help smiling as she gently snorted, "Why?"

"I'm afraid that others won't be able to hold back against your charm." Mu Chen chuckled.

Luo Li cast a sour glance at Mu Chen, then noticed that Mu Chen was moving closer with a familiar fragrance blowing over her that made her press against Mu Chen's chest out of reflex. Her pupils were looking at him with bashfulness. "What are you trying to do?"

Mu Chen cast his lips and smiled. "We're about to split up now, aren't you going to comfort me a little? Otherwise, I won't let you go."

Luo Li bit on her rosy lips while casting a shy glance at Mu Chen. 'This fellow is usually gentle and steady, but at this moment, he's playing a rogue.'

But since they're about to be separated for a period, Luo Li was also feeling reluctance in her heart. After a brief hesitation, she pulled her hand back and closed her eyes.

Looking at her gorgeous face that was within reach, Mu Chen couldn't help the emotions rising in his heart. He stretched his arm out and held onto her waist, then pushed his lips over her own.

Although the two of them were in a corner, Mu Chen was too dazzling. So many people in the Great Thousand Palace had still directed their gazes over and the sound of teacups smashing continuously rang out.

Many Demon Slayers were feeling heartache in their hearts that such beauty had already belonged to someone. That fellow must have been struck by lightning in his previous life for him to receive such fortune in this lifetime.

Mu Chen did not pay any attention to the commotio, but was enjoying the fragrant rouge.

Luo Li couldn't take it anymore and pushed Mu Chen away. Her graceful face had a smear of redness on it and her eyes were filled with bashfulness.

Being glared at by Luo Li, Mu Chen foolishly smiled while he was still lingering at that moment. His looks had caused Luo Li to gently hammer him two times.

*Cough!* While the two of them were getting lovey-dovey, a cough resounded from the other side and Celestial Chi Yan walked over. He cast a glance at Mu Chen before coldly snorting, "Brat, have a sense of dignity. You actually dare to take advantage of our Ancient Spirit Clan's Holy Maiden in public?"

Mu Chen also wasn't bothered. He smiled and cupped his fists. "I'll have to ask Senior to take good care of Luo Li in the Ancient Spirit Clan."

"Nonsense." Celestial Chi Yan cast his lips aside as he replied, "Rest assured, her cultivation in the Ancient Spirit Clan will be even faster than you."

Mu Chen did not doubt those words. With Luo Li's talent and the Ancient Spirit Channelling Light, the Ancient Spirit Clan would naturally do all they could to nurture her. Reaching the Heavenly Sovereign Realm was just a matter of time for her.

"Since you're done with your farewells, let's go, then." Celestial Chi Yan swiftly reacted. He looked at Luo Li and smiled.

Glancing at Mu Chen, Luo Li nodded her head.

Celestial Chi Yan waved his hand and the crimson gourd swiftly expanded. Then he and Luo Li turned into a crimson beam and disappeared into the horizon.

Looking at their direction, it took Mu Chen a long time before he recovered.

"Mu Chen, since this matter is done, we'll be returning to the Wen Clan now." Wen Qingxuan came to Mu Chen's side and patted his shoulder, then chuckled.

"Brother Mu, do come to our Wen Clan in the future as a guest." Wen Ziyu also smiled as he cupped his fists.

Mu Chen smiled and nodded his head.

Wen Qingxuan waved her hand as Matron He shook her hand, gathering all of them before they turned into a beam of light and disappeared…

After watching everyone leave, Mu Chen also turned around and smiled to Ling Xi and Long Xiang before stretching his waist. "Let's go, we'll first head to the Greatlaw Continent…"

He had been away from the Greatlaw Continent for a year, but when he left, he was only a Lesser Earth Sovereign. Returning now, he was already a Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign.

Back then, he could not prop up the entire Mu Abode and had to rely on Mandala's help. Right now… he's practically invincible beneath the Heavenly Sovereign Realm!

"I wonder how the Mu Abode is doing?" He gently smiled before he turned into a beam of light and soared into the sky.
