The top powers from various forces were dumbfounded when Mu Chen handed over the Starry Suppression Tower. Even Mandela was stunned, as she had not expected Mu Chen to do so.

Although she had been eyeing the sacred object, she was not dying to have it. Moreover, as long as Mu Chen had the sacred tower, it was still way better than letting someone else from the other forces have it.

Of course, she did understand that it would bring Mu Chen trouble, but no one would dare to mess with Daluo Territory from now on. She was confident that she could protect Mu Chen.

So she was stunned when Mu Chen handed over the tower. She frowned and said, “You don’t have to. Although it means trouble for you, since I’m here, no one can touch you.”

Obviously, she had assumed that Mu Chen was afraid to bring trouble upon himself. Thus, he had no choice but to surrender the tower to her.

Mu Chen gave a smile and said, “This thing is wasted in my hands. Given my current ability, I won’t be able to exert its power.”

That was true. A huge amount of spiritual energy was required to activate and support the Starry Suppression Tower. Given Mu Chen’s current Grade Five Sovereign’s ability, his level of spiritual energy was way too low.

“Moreover, it is more useful in Daluo Territory’s hands as compared to using it myself. Currently, the Lord of Divine Pavilion has perished. The situation might change in the North Territory. So I believe Daluo Territory will need this more than me.”

Mu Chen looked at Mandela, who was pondering. He smiled. “You don’t have to feel burdened. The stronger Daluo Territory becomes, the more power I can use to make myself stronger. Just take it as an investment from me. Maybe next time, I’ll need your help again.”

Mandela swallowed her words while she was looking at Mu Chen, who was smiling. His eyes surged with seriousness. She was shocked and moved by Mu Chen’s actions. After all, even a top power of Earthly Sovereign level would be tempted by this powerful sacred object, but Mu Chen calmly handed it over to her.

He did not have to. He should know her character. She would not force him to hand it over to her for sure.

However, like what Mu Chen had said, if she could have the Starry Suppression Tower, she would be able to fight with an Upper Earthly Sovereign.

This would be extremely helpful in the uprising chaotic situation in the North Territory.

Mandela stared at the dark golden pyramid on Mu Chen’s palm. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, “This will be under my care temporarily. In the future, I will return it when you have the power to control it.”

Mu Chen only smiled and nodded. He did not say anything further. He was thinking, maybe by that time, a tower would not be able to satisfy him anymore.

“In addition…” Mandela was blushing slightly as she stuttered, “Could you give me the Spiritual Deity Liquid in that tower? I will compensate you next time.”

For Mandela, the temptation of the Spiritual Deity Liquid was more than the Starry Suppression Tower now. She was halfway towards Upper Earthly Sovereign. One more step, and she could achieve a breakthrough.

Mu Chen could not help but laugh. He nodded. Although the Spiritual Deity Liquid was indeed formidable, like the tower, it was not something that he could handle.

Given its purity and vast amount, he would not be able to refine the liquid. His physical body would explode due to the inflation of the spiritual energy if he forcefully absorbed it.

So, when he gave the tower to Mandela, it included that drop of Spiritual Deity Liquid.

Mandela blushed even more upon seeing Mu Chen’s nod. She did not look like the Dominator of Daluo Territory, but more like a cute little girl-next-door.

“But I have one condition…” Mu Chen smiled. “Previously, the Fourth Hall Master said that the Starry Suppression Tower could be used to track the Primordial Celestial Palace. I hope you can track it down for me.”

The Primordial Celestial Palace relic was a precious place that numerous forces were eyeing. Not everyone was able to track it down. So, he did not think that he could do it himself, either. Hence, he could only rely on Mandela’s help.

Besides, even if he were lucky enough to have found the relic, it would create an uproar. By then, it would attract many forces. Thus, even if he could find the location of the relic, he could not do it alone if he wanted to retrieve the cultivation method of the Immortal Golden Body.

He would definitely need Mandela’s help when the time came. Otherwise, he would not be able to fight against those super powers in the Tianluo Continent.

The previous investment that he was talking about was not for show. He did need the help from Mandela since he had not become independent yet.

Mandela shook off her embarrassment, and she nodded with a solemn look on her face. “I will definitely do my best if we can detect the Celestial Palace.”
