A quiet manor to the west of Aeon City.

Although Aeon City was already full of people, the manor was still extremely quiet. The masters all over the city did not dare to go near the manor, as if it were taboo. That was because the manor belonged to the Budur Ancient Clan.

When Mu Chen reached the manor, the guards at the gate immediately recognized him and hurriedly greeted him. “Young Master Mu Chen, the Great Elder is already waiting inside.”

After Mu Chen’s previous conflict with the Budur Ancient Clan, everybody in the clan knew him, and now that Qing Yanjing had become the Great Elder and was in charge of the clan, nobody dared to treat the son of the Great Elder with anything less than the utmost respect.

“Thank you.” Mu Chen nodded slightly. Although he had no interest in being the so-called Young Master of the Budur Ancient Clan, he couldn’t bother to correct it. He walked straight into the manor, past the courtyard, and saw Qing Yanjing standing in front of the hall.

“Mother.” Mu Chen stepped forward quickly and smiled at Qing Yanjing.

“You cause chaos when you leave the house,” Qing Yanjing rebuked while gently caressing his hair. She had clearly heard about Mu Chen and Huang Xuanzhi and the Ghost Emperor.

“It was inevitable.” Mu Chen shook his head helplessly, then immediately smiled at Qiang Yanjing. “Where is father?”

Qing Yanjing’s expression became solemn as she replied, “This is a place of chaos. We can’t let him make more of a mess.” She stared at Mu Chen and said slowly, “Chen, are you sure you want to compete for the Primordial Immortal Body?”

Mu Chen’s expression turned serious. He nodded firmly and said, “Mother, I have been working hard for many years for this Primordial Immortal Body, and I will never give it up.”

That was the path he had chosen to attain Divine Grade Heavenly Sovereign. If he couldn’t get the Primordial Immortal Body, his effort all these years would be in vain. If he wanted to reach Divine Grade, he would have to spend a lot of time and energy. Therefore, the Primordial Immortal Body was his path to Divine Grade.

Qing Yanjing looked at Mu Chen’s determined expression and then nodded and smiled. “Since my son has such ambition, then I will support you wholeheartedly.”

“Thank you, mother.” Mu Chen’s heart warmed, because he was very clear that the fight for the Primordial Immortal Body would not be so simple. Even if he succeeded, he would be stopped by the Maha Ancient Clan.

This ancient clan regarded the Primordial Immortal Body as their exclusive property. If the Immortal Emperor had not set the Aeon Congress in the past, they would not even have allowed other people to compete for the Primordial Immortal Body.

When Qing Yanjing openly supported him, their relationship with the Maha Ancient Clan would be ruined. At that time, there would inevitably be an earth-shaking clash.

“Due to the Maha Ancient Clan’s significant strength, I invited a helper for you.” Qing Yanjing smiled and pointed to a courtyard not far away.

Mu Chen followed her gaze and gaped disbelievingly. In the courtyard, an old man in linen was digging the ground with a hoe. Looking at the old man’s face, Mu Chen couldn’t help but exclaim, “Budur Xuan?”

The old man was none other than the previous Great Elder of the Budur Ancient Clan, Budur Xuan. Mu Chen never would have thought that Qing Yanjing would summon him.

At that moment, Budur Xuan also looked up and dropped his hoe. He walked over expressionlessly, looked Mu Chen up and down, and said coldly, “How can this kid get the Primordial Immortal Body? This old man will not believe it. Maha You, Ye Qing, Ta Bacang, and Shi Luo are not easy opponents.”

Qing Yanjing smiled and said, “Great Elder, whether or not Mu Chen can get the recognition of the Primordial Immortal Body is his business. I only need you to protect him after his success.”

After a momentary pause, Budur Xuan said, “I can help you, but you know my condition.”

“What condition?” Mu Chen interrupted, gazing warily at Budur Xuan. This old man had caused him to be separated from his mother for decades, and now that they had finally reunited, what other trick could he have up his sleeve?

Qing Yanjing said, “The Great Elder’s condition is, if you really get the recognition of the Primordial Immortal Body, you must acknowledge your ancestry and acknowledge that you are of the Budur Ancient Clan, and you’ll have to become the clan leader of the Budur Ancient Clan.”
