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.”

Hearing this, Mu Chen couldn’t help saying mockingly, “Didn’t the Great Elder used to say that I was a sinner? Why would you want me to acknowledge that I am part of the Budur Ancient Clan now?”

Budur Xuan’s face twitched, and a slight blush rose in his old cheeks.

Mu Chen did not go too far. He furrowed his brow and said, “I am not interested in the position of clan leader of the Budur Ancient Clan. Can’t someone else take the position instead?”

“You are the only person in the whole Budur Ancient Clan with the opportunity to attain Divine Grade,” Qing Yanjing said proudly.

Mu Chen’s head hurt. Managing the Mu Estate was bothersome enough, not to mention the Budur Ancient Clan with their countless years of heritage.

“Can we not ask for his help? I’ll just ask the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor.” Mu Chen pursed his lips.

“I doubt you will be able to summon those two.” Budur Xuan snorted coldly, extremely displeased. The Xuan and Mo lineages of the Budur Ancient Clan were vying to be the clan leader, but this young man was still hesitating, clearly reluctant.

“Why?” Mu Chen was suspicious.

Qing Yanjing’s expression sobered. She whispered, “The Extraterritorial Race has been behaving suspiciously. The Martial Border and the Endless Fire Territory guard the borders of the Great Thousand World. The Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor would not dare make any move.”

Mu Chen’s gaze shuttered. The Extraterritorial Race was the biggest enemy of everyone in the entire Great Thousand World. Other battles paled in comparison. If what Budur Xuan said was true, he really couldn’t ask for their help lightly.

Qing Yanjing held Mu Chen’s palm and said with a reddened gaze, “Chen, I know you still bear a grudge against the Budur Ancient Clan, but the blood of the clan still flows in you. Would you let your mother support the clan alone?”

Mu Chen could only surrender under Qing Yanjing’s gentle attack. He smiled bitterly. “Fine, mother. If I can really get the recognition of the Primordial Immortal Body, then I will be the clan leader of the Budur Ancient Clan.”

“What a considerate son.” The redness in Qiang Yanjing’s eyes disappeared immediately, and she grinned while caressing his hair.

Mu Chen sighed hopelessly. A woman’s acting was really scary.

Budur Xuan saw Mu Chen nodding and relaxed his expression. He had no choice but to ask Mu Chen to become the clan leader. After all, of the younger generation, Mu Chen’s talent and achievements were far beyond the other supreme talents in the clan. Furthermore, it was highly likely Mu Chen would attain Divine Grade. For the Budur Ancient Clan, having a Divine Heavenly Sovereign was very important. The Maha Ancient Clan could become the head of the five ancient clans because they had three Divine Heavenly Sovereigns.

If Mu Chen could attain Divine Grade, then the Budur Ancient Clan could compete with them. Therefore, as long as the reputation of the Budur Ancient Clan could be heightened, Budur Xuan would even acknowledge Mu Chen as the clan leader. No matter how stubborn he was, he couldn’t allow a future Divine Grade to leave the clan.

“Tomorrow the Aeon Congress will begin. I heard that there are a total of 108 people participating in the congress,” Budur Xuan said slowly.

“One hundred and eight.” Mu Chen was slightly shocked. This Great Thousand World was indeed really vast. In the past, he had not even met one person who had cultivated the Immortal Golden Body, and yet, 107 others had emerged. It could be seen that this world had many hidden talents.

“This was obviously the Immortal Emperor’s plan. He passed on many inheritances to select the most outstanding person among the lot.” If Mu Chen was correct, it seemed that the Immortal Emperor had contemplated a lot in selecting his descendants.

“Mother, in the previous Aeon Congresses, no one has ever been chosen by the Primordial Immortal Body?” Mu Chen asked. Since they were able to cultivate the Immortal Golden Body, they would not be weak, but none had been recognized by the Primordial Immortal Body throughout all these years.

Qing Yanjing shook her head slightly and exclaimed, “It is, after all, one of the five original Primitive Celestial Bodies, and it is invincible. It is not easy to get its approval.”

Mu Chen nodded and looked somber. He gazed towards the center of the city, where he felt the stirrings of an ancient and primitive aura. It seemed that it would not be easy to get the Primordial Immortal Body’s recognition.

Mu Chen pursed his lips, but his black eyes flashed with determination as he slowly clenched his fists. No matter how hard it was, he would never give up… Because that was the path he had chosen to attain Divine Grade.

“Tomorrow… let me fight the warriors of the world!”
