Chapter 1201.2 - New Force (2/2)

Mu Chen not only found the complete scroll of the Nine Dragon Devouring Fairy Array, he even got the Demon Subduing Troop, which was more powerful than the Spirit-Slaughtering Troop. He could not help but feel overwhelmed by it.

Luckily, he was a detail oriented person. After Mu Chen pondered for a while, he felt that the timing was too coincidental. Be it the scroll or the troop, he could not have found either so quickly since they were deeply hidden. All of it seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand, but there was no one except Mu Chen in this palace. Or maybe…There was another thing watching him.

The Hidden Scripture Pavillion!

The Hidden Scripture Pavillion was rather profound. Despite the fact that Mu Chen had reached Lower Earthly Sovereign, he could not detect its location at all. Apparently, it had high intelligence. The things that it did could be out of kindness, since Mu Chen was the new owner of the Ancient Celestial Palace. No matter what, Mu Chen cupped his fist and bowed to the air in the palace. He could only do this to thank the Hidden Scripture Pavilion for its generosity.

While he was delighted over his gains, he received a message from Mandela asking him to end his cultivation and return to Daluotian for some important matters.

…

Daluotian.

When Mu Chen rushed into the hall, not only was Mandela around, but the five Lower Earthly Sovereigns including the Holy Ancestor, Liu Tiandao, and the Goblin Emperor were there, too.

The well-known Sovereigns in the North Territory nodded at Mu Chen as a form of greeting. Of course, if it were the past Mu Chen, they would not have given any form of greeting, given their status and capabilities. But things had changed. After Mu Chen came out of the Ancient Celestial Palace, he had made it to the Lower Earthly Sovereign, which was on par with them now. Since Mu Chen has reached this level, he had equal status. Hence, they did not dare to be cocky.

Mu Chen nodded to them, returning the gesture. He sat beside Mandela. Elders such as the Sleeping King from Daluo Territory were standing behind Mu Chen.

Mandela nodded when she saw Mu Chen arrive. She lifted her small face and looked at the five of them. With an indifferent voice she said, “I guess you all know the reason why I called you here. We have access to the Ancient Celestial Palace, and we are using it to serve as our foundation.”

While Mu Chen had been cultivating, Mandela had notified Liu Tiandao and the rest about it. They remained calm on the surface, even though they felt surprised. In fact, they were rejoicing, as they knew how precious the Ancient Celestial Palace was. If they could connect to it, it would be extremely helpful with their cultivation in the future.

“Although we have formed the North Territory Alliance, there was no teamwork, and everyone acted of their free will, so I have decided to create a new force. If anyone wishes to participate in this force, you will have to give up your sects and lead your disciples to be part of it,” said Mandela slowly, looking around with her pitch-black eyes.

The five Lower Earthly Sovereigns had a slight change in their expressions when they heard this. Hesitation flashed in their eyes. What Mandela meant was that she was going to unite the entire North Territory. Once they were in, they could no longer rule how they used to, as they would have a real leader and ruler over their heads.

This was somewhat uncomfortable for them. After all, they were used to being above everyone else in their own sects. Hence, they could not adapt to the idea of serving someone else as their leader.

If Mandela had requested this in the past, they would have joined hands to object. But now, Mandela had already reached the Complete Earthly Sovereign level. She way surpassed them in terms of capability. Moreover, apart from Mandela, there was Mu Chen, who had just reached Lower Earthly Sovereign. They had to admit that it was impossible to go against the current Daluo Territory, even if they joined hands now.

“Anyone who does not wish to participate can leave the North Territory now,” said Mandela, again without any emotion. Her tone was calm yet dictatorial. Even the five Lower Earthly Sovereigns could not express their anger because they knew she had the right to say that.

As such, they pondered for a moment, and eventually nodded slowly. They said in a united voice, “We are willing to join!”

Because Mandela had reached the Complete Earthly Sovereign level, and she was the only outstanding one in the entire Tianluo Continent, under her protection they could have security, and the current status of the Tianluo Continent would be leveled up. Daluo Territory would become a well-known and recognized overlord, even outside of the North Territory.

Moreover, Mandela had control over the Ancient Celestial Palace. With such a precious land serving as their foundation in the sect, they would have a bright future ahead. In times to come, they could even become one of the super forces in the Great Thousand World.

When the time come, they were the elders of this new force, and their status would be incomparable. Hence, after weighing the pros and cons, the five Lower Earthly Sovereigns decided to participate in it.

Mandela remained calm when she saw this. Apparently, it was within her expectation. However, things did not end there. She smiled and said, “Since no one has any objections, I’ll announce another thing. The ruler of this new force will be Mu Chen.”

Silence fell in the hall.

Even Mu Chen’s eyes popped wide open. He was looking at Mandela with a face full of shock and surprise.

What is going on?
