The black square stood among the graves, exuding a solemn aura as the black coffins stood tall on it. Mu Chen and his two companions looked solemn as they stared at the square. Qing Yanjing looked extremely grim. She was a Divine Heavenly Ancestral Master, and given her attainments in the spiritual array, she was at the top of the list in the Great Thousand World. She was thus able to sense the horrifying grand array that had been constructed by these Paulownia coffins. This level of grand array had surpassed that of a Divine Heavenly Ancestral Master.

“If the grand array has been activated, even a Divine Heavenly master will be killed!” Qing Yanjing exclaimed. She was filled with respect for the Immortal Emperor. He was indeed talented. No wonder he was able to pull the Great Thousand World out of the crisis.

Mu Chen nodded and said, “Judging from this, we can see how powerful the Heavenly Evil Deity is. Even with such a high-level sealing array, we still needed 49,000 years to destroy his lifeforce.”

Qing Yanjing looked grim and sighed. “That is why we must not let this bane out to destroy the world.”

As they were talking, the two gravekeepers had moved to the side of the black square and were heading toward a mountain. A huge black palace was on the peak, and it looked like a prehistoric beast.

Mu Chen and his two companions came before the huge palace, and when they lifted up their heads, they saw three words that had been written with powerful strokes:

Great Thousand Palace.

When Mu Chen looked at the Great Thousand Palace, light flickered in his eyes. He could indistinctly feel that this palace was filled with danger. It was as if the palace was a living thing.

Qing Yanjing said, “This Great Thousand Palace is a Divine Grade Rare Divine Artifact. It is the Great Thousand Palace’s treasure. It can travel through the void, and its power can be ranked among the top ten in the Great Thousand World. It is as powerful as our Budur Ancient Clan’s Ancestor Pagoda.”

When Mu Chen heard it, he blew out a breath in appreciation. He had seen the Budur Ancient Clan’s Ancestor Pagoda and the Maha Ancient Clan’s Maha Yin-Yang Vase, and he knew the great power of such rare divine artifacts. Even a Divine Heavenly Sovereign would be fearful of them. The Great Thousand Palace meant serious business. They had brought their treasure to this place.

The gate of the Great Thousand Palace opened up, and after Mu Chen and Qing Yanjing looked at each other, the three of them stepped in. The moment they stepped into the palace, they saw that the scene had changed. The main hall was huge, and there were chandeliers hanging down. There were several round stone seats at the front that formed a circle, and the surrounding area spiraled down around it. It looked like an arena.

However, as the seats spiraled down, there were fewer seats, and the color of the seats changed from gray to silver and then to gold. Apparently, this was to differentiate the grades of the Heavenly Sovereigns. The seats that were below were for those who were at a higher ranking.

There were many figures sitting cross-legged on the stone seats, and powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emanated from them. Apparently, all of them were Heavenly Sovereigns. These Heavenly Sovereigns, who were able to call the shots in the Great Thousand World, became ordinary people in the Great Thousand Palace. They no longer had their usual pride.

Mu Chen did not fix his gaze on any of the seats, but he looked straight at the gold seats below. He saw a familiar figure sitting in the gold seats, and he was none other than Qin Tian, the Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace.

“Hohoho, First Elder Qing Yanjing, Lord Mu, and Holy Maiden Luo Li, please pardon me for not receiving you,” Qin Tian said in a friendly tone as he lifted up his head to look at Mu Chen and his two companions when they stepped into the Great Thousand Palace.

Mu Chen, Qing Yanjing, and Luo Li nodded at the renowned Demon Slayer King to greet him.

“Please take the gold seats,” Qin Tian said with a smile and pointed to the gold seats beside him.

The moment he made the statement, there was a slight commotion in the main hall. Many people looked at Mu Chen and his companions strangely. The location of the seats was not special, but in some ways, it represented the person’s status in the Great Thousand World.

According to the rules, the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereigns should take the ordinary stone seats. The God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns would take the silver stone seats, and the gold seats were for the Divine Heavenly Sovereigns or the masters of the supreme powers.

Among the three of them, Qing Yanjing was a Divine Ancestral Master as well as the First Elder of the Budur Ancient Clan, thus rightfully, she should have a gold seat. Luo Li was the Holy Maiden of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan, and her position was similar to that of a clan leader. She represented the Great Spirit Ancient Clan, thus she should assume a gold seat as well.

As for Mu Chen, although the Mu Estate that he had set up ruled over Tianluo Continent, it still did not have a strong base. Although the entire Great Thousand World was filled with news of the havoc Mu Chen had created at the Maha Ancient Clan, many of the Heavenly Sovereigns who were present had been in seclusion for years, and they had not heard a word about it. Thus, when they heard that he had been given a gold seat, they were shocked.

When Qin Tian saw the commotion in the main hall, he simply smiled and said, “Gentlemen, please do not doubt his ability. Mu Chen is not only the Mu Estate Master, he is our Great Thousand Palace’s Demon Slayer King. In terms of strength, he is comparable to a middle stage Divine Heavenly Sovereign. Most importantly… he is the second master of the Primordial Immortal Body. He is qualified to take a gold seat.”

There was a slight uproar in the main hall when Qin Tian made this comment. Those Heavenly Sovereigns who had just come out of their seclusion stared at Mu Chen, as they were shocked by the several titles that he possessed.

An elderly Heavenly Sovereign exclaimed, “I have not been out for 100 years, and such an outstanding person has emerged in our Great Thousand World. The younger generation really surpasses us…”

Mu Chen was not affected by the comments, and he let Qing Yanjing walk at the front while he and Luo Li followed behind. They walked down several stairs and went to the gold seats. However, just as Mu Chen stepped into the outer ring of the gold seats, he stopped moving as he saw a familiar figure. The person noticed Mu Chen looking at him, and his body immediately stiffened.

“Hohoho! West Heaven War Emperor, I have not seen you for so many years, and you have reached the Divine Heavenly Sovereign level as well. How have you been doing?” Mu Chen asked as he looked at the person sitting in the gold seat. This person was the West Heaven War Emperor, who had had a feud with Mu Chen in the past.

The West Heaven War Emperor had attempted to make Luo Li his Holy Maiden, and that had created a feud between himself and Mu Chen. Mu Chen then invited the Flame Emperor and snatched the position of the Child of the Continent from the Western Kingdom Continent. Back then, the West Heaven War Emperor had stayed stagnant at the later stage of the God Grade Heavenly Sovereign level, but he was now at the initial stage of the Divine Heavenly Sovereign level.

When the West Heaven War Emperor heard Mu Chen’s voice, his face turned pale, and he felt a little embarrassed. Mu Chen was a nobody in his eyes back then, and he had never taken him seriously. However, he had not expected the guy who had just stepped into the Earthly Sovereign level back then to become a Divine Heavenly Sovereign in less than ten years. Moreover, he had become well-known in the Great Thousand World.

Although the West Heaven War Emperor was currently at the initial stage of the Divine Heavenly Sovereign level, he knew that he might not be able to take Mu Chen on. After all, he was well aware of what had taken place at the Maha Ancient Clan. Even Maha Tian could not deal with Mu Chen, let alone him! Thus, when the West Heaven War Emperor recalled the feud that he had with Mu Chen, he felt uneasy.

Mu Chen looked at the West Heaven War Emperor and said with a smile, “Although we had a feud back then, we have already settled it. For the past few years, you have been graceful and did not create trouble for the Luo God Clan in the Western Kingdom Continent, thus I will naturally not create trouble for you.” Having said that, Mu Chen went to the gold seat near Qin Tian and sat down.

The West Heaven War Emperor looked at Mu Chen and gritted his teeth. However, he had no choice but to shake his head. Mu Chen was no longer a nobody that he could take lightly. It was great that both of them could let go of the past feud.

After Mu Chen had sat down cross-legged, he shut his eyes and ignored everyone’s looks.

Several Heavenly Sovereigns arrived one after another and took their seats. The Great Spirit Ancient Clan, the Black Heavens Ancient Clan, and the Maha Ancient Clan had arrived, and they sat in the gold seats.

Needless to say, Maha Tian was the representative from the Maha Ancient Clan. When he saw Mu Chen, his face turned sour, but he knew that this was not the place to settle their personal feud. Thus, he simply cupped his fist at Qin Tian and sat down.

Mu Chen could not be bothered with Maha Tian. He looked on with interest at one of the gold seats where a muscular guy with bare arms was seated. His body was yellow, and the veins in his body surged, carrying a horrifying fluctuation. Mu Chen was interested in him, as he was Huang Qiu, the clan leader of the fifth ancient clan, the Primitive Ancient Clan. It had been rumored that the Primitive Ancient Clan was skillful in cultivating their physiques. Mu Chen could sense that Huang Qiu’s physique had reached the Divine Heavenly Sovereign level, and it was overbearing.

As time passed, more and more people filled up the seats of the main hall, and Mu Chen was shocked by the array. Everyone who was present was an overlord of a region in the Great Thousand World. When they gathered in this place, they seemed ready to turn the world upside down.

Howl! Howl!

As Mu Chen was impressed by the array in the main hall, he suddenly felt a gust of Black Wind in the air, and it twirled toward the gold seat beside Qin Tian. After the gust of Black Wind dissipated, an elder slumped on the seat, looking half asleep. He was clad in a black robe, and he had a head of white hair. The elder exuded an aura that made him seem to be in the twilight of his life. However, he still emanated an indescribably horrifying oppression in such a state. When Mu Chen sensed the domineering aura, he shuddered.

When Qin Tian saw the elder, he became solemn and cupped his fist and said, “Greetings, Undying Elder.”

There was an uproar in the main hall. Many Heavenly Sovereigns looked at the elder with great respect and fear as they realized that he was the leader of the Gravekeepers of the Northern Wilderness Hill, the mysterious Undying Lord.

Buzz!

The sound of a sword resounded in the air as the people looked at the Undying Lord. A green sword radiance pierced through the space and landed on the gold seat beside the Undying Lord. After the green sword radiance dissipated, a man with a green shirt was seen sitting cross-legged on the seat, and he had a long green sword on his lap. The man lifted up his head and smiled at the people, saying, “I am Green Shirt from Sword City. My apologies for being late.”

When the Heavenly Sovereigns heard him, there was another uproar. They looked at him with greater respect. This man was a master in the Great Thousand World, and he was as famous as the Flame Emperor, Martial Ancestor, Demon Slayer King, and the Undying Lord…

He was the Green Shirt Sword Saint from Sword City.
