Two weeks later, the higher echelon gathered outside of the grand hall in the Mu Estate. Mu Chen stood with his hands behind his back. After a while, he turned around and looked at Mandela and Ancestor Xuan Tian, who stood before the higher echelon of the Mu Estate.

"As usual, Mandela will hold down the fort while I'm away. Ancestor Xuan Tian might have to strike if there is an invasion," Mu Chen said, while he grinned at the two of them.

Ancestor Xuan Tian chuckled, then cupped his fist and said, "Don't worry, Estate Master. Since I'm the elder of the Mu Estate, I'll definitely perform my duties."

Mandela nodded as she stared at Mu Chen with her big, gleaming eyes. She said in a low voice, "You must be careful."

Even though Mu Chen was a Heavenly Sovereign and was superior to her, his target this time was one of the five ancient clans in this Great Thousand World, the Budur Ancient Clan. Such an ancient clan had domineering strength and abundant resources that were beyond one's imagination. As such, any Heavenly Sovereigns would need to maintain a high-level of vigilance against such a magnificent opponent.

Mu Chen nodded his head and chuckled, "Don't worry. I know my limits." He knew how daunting the Budur Ancient Clan was, but he had a plan this time.

"Let's go," Mu Chen said as he turned around and glanced at Ling Xi and Long Xiang.

He quickly left after all of the tasks had been distributed. Ling Xi and Long Xiang had been living in the Budur Ancient Clan for quite some time, and with them around, it would be a great benefit to him. Ling Xi and Long Xiang nodded upon hearing his order.

Mu Chen walked into the Transfer Spiritual Array before the grand hall, while Ling Xi and Long Xiang followed closely behind him. The three of them stood within it, while the boundless spiritual energy rays slowly gathered around them.

As the spiritual rays filled their eyes, Mu Chen looked at the empty space in the distance and muttered, "Budur Ancient Clan… I'm coming for you."

Since the moment that he had stepped into the Northern Spiritual Realm, he had been working hard for this day. He had gone through hardships and uncountable tribulations in order to be prepared for what was about to come.

In this way, the inexperienced and innocent juvenile who walked had out of the Northern Spiritual Realm had now become a Heavenly Sovereign and the pinnacle of this Great Thousand World! Now, it was finally time to settle this feud!

As the radiant spiritual rays encompassed them, Mu Chen and the other two disappeared within the Transfer Spiritual Array.

…

One of the six continents in the Great Thousand World, the Budur Continent.

As one of the six continents, the Budur Continent should have had uncountable forces, yet there was only one force that ruled the entire continent, the Budur Ancient Clan.

Judging from the name alone, it was apparent that the Budur Ancient Clan had treated the vast and boundless continent as their own. However, no one was ever displeased over their tyrannical behavior. After all, as it was one of the forces with the most ancient backgrounds in the Great Thousand World, the Budur Ancient Clan was armed with the qualifications and strength to draw a continent for their own use.

A majestic and towering city was situated in the center of the Budur Continent. It was named Budur City.

As the central city of the Budur Continent, Budur City was always crowded with people. However, the recent influx of people visiting the city had caused it to hit its peak. This was because the supreme powers from various places had all rushed over at the same time to take part in the the Contest of the Lineages of the Budur Ancient Clan.

A magnificent mountain stood tall in the center of the city, and a huge square could be seen there as well. At this moment, numerous light figures descended from the sky to land in the square. This made the atmosphere become quite boisterous.

"The Budur Ancient Clan really lives up to its name. No one can compare with it!" said the handsome young man, who was in the lead.

Three people were standing at the border of the square at this time. They were Mu Chen, Ling Xi, and Long Xiang, who had spent an entire two weeks to get here from the Tianluo Continent.

Mu Chen was exclaiming at this time because he had just found out that almost every batch of light figures that descended from the sky was bringing about a stalwart, earth-shaking fluctuation. These people were all Heavenly Sovereigns, none of whom were exceptional.

"Those who were invited by the Budur Ancient Clan are the top-notch forces from the Great Thousand World. Some of the weaker forces came uninvited in hopes of establishing a friendly connection with the Budur Ancient Clan," said Ling Xi softly from the side.

"I guess the Mu Estate is also considered to be among the weaker forces." Mu Chen chuckled.

The Mu Estate had been able to make its way into the ranking of the supreme forces only because of him. Still, they were much weaker than the many supreme forces here in terms of foundations.

Long Xiang snorted. "If our Queen is here, Mu Estate will have someone who is a Divine Heavenly Sovereign backing him. Compared to the various supreme forces of the Great Thousand World, we are still considered to be top-notch."

Mu Chen smiled and shook his head. He then lifted his head to look at the sky above the magnificent mountain, where a large spatial gate was shining. On the other side of the spatial gate was the Budur Territory, where the lineage resided. That was the core of the Budur Ancient Clan.

All of the Budur Clan members on the Budur Continent were considered to be sub-branches. Hence, countless clan members worked hard to get into the Budur Territory in order to become part of the lineage.

Outside of the spatial gate, large spiritual vessels traveled to and fro between the two regions. The vessels would occasionally pick up guests from the square and escort them to the Budur Territory.

Troops were guarding the spatial gate, allowing only the spiritual vessels to pass through. As such, no one, including Heavenly Sovereigns, could barge through the gate.

"They have a high standard for allowing entrance to the Budur Ancient Clan," Ling Xi said, while she scanned the scene with her beautiful eyes.

According to the rules of the Budur Ancient Clan, these spiritual vessels would only allow priority boarding for those supreme forces with invitation cards. Thus, forces like them, who were not invited, would have to wait.

Some of the uninvited supreme forces were slightly annoyed by this way of doing things, but they could only withhold their dismay, as they were powerless to do anything about it.

"Let's just wait, since we are not here to send them our congratulatory gift. If they find our identities, I'm afraid we will not be able to enter that door." Mu Chen smiled faintly, while maintaining his composed look, but as his black eyes stared at that spatial door, a coldness was swirling deep within them.

"Little Lord, is it really appropriate for us to come here like this?" Long Xiang was a little hesitant.

After all, he knew the attitude that the Budur Ancient Clan had regarding Mu Chen. Given the strength of the Budur Ancient Clan, Mu Chen would not be able to escape them if he revealed his identity, despite his being a Heavenly Sovereign.

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'll not walk right into a trap."

Sensing his calmness, Long Xiang felt slightly relieved. Knowing Mu Chen's personality, he would not put himself in danger without making the necessary preparations beforehand.

While they were conversing, a vast beam came down from the sky. Eventually, multiple light figures also descended from the sky, then landed in the square in front of everyone's gazes.

As the light dissipated, a bewitching, pretty figure was the first to appear before everyone, drawing many astonishing gazes immediately. The pretty figure wore a long scarlet dress, which contoured her curvaceous body perfectly, blinding the eyes of people like a blazing fire.

As she rotated her eyeballs, her bewitching and cute face exuded a mesmerizing charm that captivated everyone present. Although she had an enchanting look, her eyes were rather cold-looking. This combination of cold and bewitching looks was kind of a signature style for her.

With this enchanting girl around, even those numerous Heavenly Sovereigns who had seen many worldly affairs could not help but cast a few longing glances at her. But, when they finally saw the flaming patterns on her dress, all of their faces became solemn and they withdrew their gazes quietly.

This was because the flaming patterns represented a top-notch force in the Great Thousand World, one that even the Budur Ancient Clan would not dare to overlook. It was, of course, the Endless Fire Territory!

"I never expected that the Endless Fire Territory would send someone here. In the past, they never participated in the Contest of the Lineages in the Budur Ancient Clan. I wonder what they are doing here now?" someone wondered aloud, while many of the figures present were also mumbling to themselves.

The bewitching, pretty figure in the red dress ignored the various gazes that were cast upon her from the square's surroundings as she brought her people and walked towards the center of the square. As the guest who was in-charge from the Budur Ancient Clan saw her, he had a slight change in his expression.

His previous arrogance towards the other guests was constrained, and he put a smile on his face before quickly walking over to receive her. But, before they could meet, the lady in the red dress suddenly paused after scanning the crowd with her slightly cold eyes. Subsequently, everyone saw a surprising smile surface on her cold and pretty face.

After this, the lady abandoned the Budur Ancient Clan's guest, who was still walking towards her. Instead, she walked to the side of the square and stopped in front of a handsome young man.

"Mu Chen, you really came!" she exclaimed.

Mu Chen looked at the bewitching and cold lady before him, a smile surfacing from on his face. He then said, "Long time no see, Xiao Xiao."

The person in front of him was Xiao Xiao, who he had not seen for ages! Apparently, she was representing the Endless Fire Territory.

Upon seeing Mu Chen, Xiao Xiao, whose pretty face was slightly cold just moments ago, became gentle and expressive. She then pursed her lips into a smile before she stepped aside to reveal the person behind her.

He was a white-robed old man, who had an old yet extremely kind-looking face. His eyes were full of wisdom, as though he had lived through many lifetimes.

Xiao Xiao held the old man's arms and grinned at Mu Chen. "Mu Chen, this is my Grandmaster. He's the Master of my Father."

Upon hearing that, Mu Chen was taken aback. He looked at the kind-looking old man before him. This old man had actually groomed the renowned Flame Emperor, who had gained the respect of countless powerhouses as his disciple!

Mu Chen was thrilled in his heart, but carefully maintained solemnity on his face. He bowed formally towards the old man and said, "Greetings to the old master!"
