Spiritual energy raged in the main hall and caused the space to shake.
Ancestor Xuan Tian was impressed by the spiritual energy fluctuations that had burst out from Mu Chen's body. Mu Chen had become more and more powerful. Given Ancestor Xuan Tian's strength, he would not be able to take Mu Chen on for ten rounds.
Mandela's face looked cold as she mumbled, ”Why did the Tianluo Alliance choose this time to challenge you? They were still wary of you previously.”
Mu Chen squinted and found it strange. His mother was, after all, a Divine Ancestral Master. Although Mu Chen would not use his mother as a backing to boss others around, the five Heavenly Sovereigns in the Tianluo Alliance had been wary of him because of his mother. However, they had chosen to go head on with him. Were they not afraid of his mother now?
”Check on them. I want to know their motives,” Mu Chen said as he gently tapped his fingers on the table. Although he was not afraid of them, he was a cautious person. In order to defeat his opponents, he had to know them well.
When Mandela heard him, she nodded.
…
Within a short period of time, they received news about the Tianluo Alliance. A day later, a large amount of information was placed before Mu Chen, and after carefully going through the information, he stopped reading. ”I was still wondering why they have become so daring. Someone behind them is stirring up trouble,” Mu Chen said flatly.
”Who is that?” Nine Nether asked.
”According to the information, some men from the Maha Ancient Clan looked up the five supreme powers one month ago,” Mu Chen said as a ray of cold light flashed in his eyes.
”The Maha Ancient Clan?” When Mandela, Nine Nether, and Elder Xuan Tian heard it, their expressions changed. Apparently, they were shocked to hear that the Maha Ancient Clan that they had no dealings with would come to the Tianluo Continent and create trouble for them.
”We have no association with the Maha Ancient Clan. Why are they dealing with you?” Mandela asked, as she was baffled.
Mu Chen squinted and pondered. After a while, he smiled and said, ”Half a year from now, the Maha Ancient Clan will be holding their Aeon Congress.”
Mandela and the other two looked blank. Apparently, they could not see how it was related to their Mu Estate.
”The Maha Ancient Clan is holding onto the Primordial Immortal Body, and the Primordial Immortal Body will select its master at the Aeon Congress,” Mu Chen said calmly. ”The Immortal Emperor has made the Maha Ancient Clan keeper of the Primordial Immortal Body. However, they have become greedy and want to make it their own property. They will not allow anyone to snatch it away from them.
”I have heard from my mother that whenever the Aeon Congress is about to start, the Maha Ancient Clan will check on the top powers who have cultivated the Immortal Golden Body in the Great Thousand World. They will then use various means to stop the top powers from participating in the Aeon Congress so that the Primordial Immortal Body will not be snatched away from them.
”I believe that they are targeting me, as I have been in the limelight recently. They are trying to use these means to stop me from participating in the Aeon Congress. As they are wary of my mother and dare not do it openly, they have instigated the five supreme powers to form the Tianluo Alliance to stop me.”
Nine Nether looked furious as she said coldly, ”They are so despicable!”
The means that the Maha Ancient Clan had used were infuriating. In the past, the Immortal Emperor had handed the Primordial Immortal Body to the Maha Ancient Clan for safekeeping and had opened up the cultivation methods of the Great Solar Undying Body and the Immortal Golden Body to the Great Thousand World. He had done it in hopes of finding a suitable master for the Primordial Immortal Body. However, the Maha Ancient Clan looked upon the Primordial Immortal Body as their own possession. Not only had they not fulfilled their duty in taking care of the Primordial Immortal Body, but they had also secretly stopped the other cultivators of the Immortal Golden Body from attending their Aeon Congress. They were despicable for behaving in such a manner.
Mandela's face turned cold, and she said mockingly, ”The Primordial Immortal Body is one of the five Primitive Celestial Bodies in the Great Thousand World, and it has helped the Immortal Emperor become the most powerful person in the Great Thousand World. It is so enticing for one to own it, thus it comes as no surprise that the Maha Ancient Clan has disregarded their reputation and used such despicable means.”
”What should we do now? There will probably be trouble at the Tianluo Banquet,” Elder Xuan Tian said, looking worried.
Mu Chen's eyes looked sharp, and after a while, he smiled and said disdainfully, ”Since the Tianluo Alliance has invited our Mu Estate over for the banquet, we would be tarnishing the reputation that we have painstakingly built up if we did not attend.”
