Chapter 1089: The Strength of the Ancient Celestial Palace

Even after the princes’ meeting ended, the atmosphere in Daluotian remained highly charged. Part of the reason for this intensity was due to the appointing of the new princes, but the most important factor was the appearance of the Ancient Celestial Palace Relic.

Almost everyone knew how mighty the Ancient Celestial Palace was. No other forces had ever reached its status or strength, even throughout the current Tianluo Continent!

Hence, wherever the relic was concerned, everyone was interested. In fact, if one had enough luck within this ancient relic, he could leap to greater heights and rise with the wind. From then onwards, he would shine.

Therefore, the battle in this Ancient Celestial Palace Relic was the most exciting and competitive battle that the Tianluo Continent had witnessed in a thousand years! Any forces, even those with the least strength, would not want to miss it. After all, the attractiveness of the Ancient Celestial Palace was too overwhelming.

While all of the people in the Daluo Territory were discussing the Ancient Celestial Palace, Nine Nether Palace was also engaged in spectating. Ever since Mu Chen and Nine Nether had been crowned with prince status, Nine Nether Palace had suddenly become the strongest among the forces in the Daluo Territory. After all, there had never been a force having two princes at the same time.

So when the meeting ended, Nine Nether Palace soared in both status and popularity. All of the top powers from various teams came to visit, with the intention to forge alliances and seek refuge. They also figured that, i they could get the support of the two new princes, they could save themselves a lot of trouble in the future.

However, this also made Mu Chen and Nine Nether vexed, as they soon grew exhausted by these endless visits. After all, they were not good at socializing to begin with.

Eventually, they convinced their majordomo, Tang Bing, to handle the situation, while the pair announced themselves as being in a closed-door meditation. This clever ploy finally provided them some peace.

Nine Nether Palace, in the backyard.

The stone pavilion and the running stream created an elegant and peaceful environment within the secluded backyard. Nine Nether sat on the rocks alongside the stream.

Her body was curvaceous and slender, the sexy outline of which was hidden underneath her clothes. Her eyes were closed and her spiritual energy circulated gracefully around her.

There seemed to be a transparent flame burning around her. Although there was no high temperature being exuded, the flame continuously twisted and had a daunting oppression.

After quietly meditating for quite some time, she opened her pretty eyes and stretched her back lazily. As she extended her body, her overwhelmingly curvy lines only grew more alluring. This attracted a stare from the direction of the stone pavilion.

Somehow sensing the stare, which turned out to be coming from the eyes of Mu Chen, Nine Nether threw a death stare back at him at once. Mu Chen cleared his dry throat and acted like nothing had happened. He then quickly turned towards the scroll on the Spiritual Array in his hand.

“The crowd outside of Nine Nether Palace is making a lot of noise, whereas the both of you are hiding here in the peace and quiet!” Suddenly a playful voice, belonging to Mandela, was heard in the pavilion.

As a space rippled above the stream, Mandela appeared in her black dress and bare feet. A faint smile spread across on her small delicate face.

“My respects to the Dominator,” Nine Nether said, immediately standing up.

Mu Chen put down his scroll and said, “The preparation for the alliance of the North Territory… Has it been completed? If not, how would you have time to drop by here?”

“There isn’t much to prepare. Those fellows are not idiots! Given their individual strengths and knowing how tempting the Ancient Celestial Palace is, they knew they were not qualified to vie with other top-notch forces of the Tianluo Continent. So, they naturally would be even more concerned about the alliance,” Mandela said casually, while sitting on a stone.

She then soaked her feet in the cold stream water and asked her own question of Mu Chen. “How about you? Aren’t you the one who has been waiting for the appearance of the Ancient Celestial Palace? Now that it has finally revealed, how are you still keeping your cool?”

Mu Chen laughed. “I’m faking it. The appearance of it has stirred up quite a commotion. I wondered how many top-notch forces would be coming after it. My half-step Grade Nine Sovereign could barely be useful.”

As the news regarding the Ancient Celestial Palace spread, Mu Chen had initially been very excited. By now, he had calmed down. Although he had been waiting for this day ever since he obtained the Great Solar Undying Body, he knew how competitive it would be to fight for it. Under such circumstances, even Mandela, who was an Upper Earthly Sovereign, did not have absolute confidence of winning a victory, let alone a half-step Grade Nine Sovereign like himself.

Mandela smiled when she heard this, then said, “The evolution method of the Great Solar Undying Body is of no use to common people. Only those who have been practicing it can cultivate it successfully. Hence, most of the people would not fight with you.”

At this point, Mandela changed her tone. “Even though the competition is small, it means that its difficulty level is higher.”

Mu Chen nodded slightly. Those who were fighting for the evolution method must be those who had been practicing the Great Solar Undying Body for some time. It also meant that his opponents would have some extraordinary talents. Otherwise, they would not have been able to maintain the stringent conditioning required for cultivating the Great Solar Undying Body.
