The Great Ruler 1408 Xuan Tian was Subdued

One year ago when the Mu Estate fought with the three overlords in the North Territory, the estate became well-known on Tianluo Continent. Not only that, but this fight had also brought the Mu Estate to the highest level on Tianluo Continent. Many forces were fearful, and at the same time, filled with respect for the estate.

From now on, the North Territory belonged to the Mu Estate, and no forces dared to eye it anymore. The other top forces on Tianluo Continent would be wary of the Mu Estate as well.

There were Heavenly Sovereigns in the Mu Estate, and given Mu Chen's stunning combat force, the Mu Estate would have been added to the list of supreme powers, if not for their weak foundation. If Mu Chen was on another continent, based on his strength alone, he could have taken over the entire continent and made it his exclusive property, and no one would have dared to say a word against him.

These were the rules in the Great Thousand World. As long as one became a Heavenly Sovereign, it was as if he were the most powerful being in the Great Thousand World, controlling it. He would be well respected and regarded as the ruler of a region.

However, Tianluo Continent was, after all, one of the supercontinents in the Great Thousand World. It had rich resources that one could not even dream of that even the supreme powers were eyeing. Although it looked as though there was no Heavenly Sovereign on Tianluo Continent, there were supreme powers behind every top force secretly backing them up.

In such a complicated environment, even with Mu Chen heading the Mu Estate, they were still unable to rule over Tianluo Continent, even though they seemed to stand out from the top forces. They could only take over the North Territory at the moment.

If the Mu Estate had taken over by force, they might have caused displeasure among the other supreme powers. If that happened, it would involve more supreme powers besides the Zi Qi Spiritual Cave, Thunder Temple, and Long Diao Cave.

If the Mu Estate had too many enemies, Mu Chen would not be able to handle them unless he was at the Divine Heavenly Sovereign level. By then, he could easily take over Tianluo Continent.

Thus, after the victory, Mu Chen passed down orders that the Mu Estate only take over the North Territory and not the other regions. This was to avoid having conflicts with or retaliation from the supreme powers behind the forces. After all, the Mu Estate would need a long while to put things in order after taking over the North Territory.

In the Ancient Celestial Palace at the Mu Estate.

A ray of light came down from the heavens and landed on a towering mountain beside the Heavenly River. Mu Chen then appeared on the peak of the mountain and sat cross-legged on it. He looked down from the peak and saw the Heavenly River twirling around the towering mountain like a jade belt.

Several stone cultivation platforms had been set up around the Heavenly River, and many people were cultivating on them. Mu Chen's earlier movement had created a great impact, and many people were looking in his direction.

Usually, those who came to the Heavenly River to cultivate were the young promising people from the various sects. This was because the people at that age would benefit the most from the Heavenly River. The young men looked outstanding, and the girls were young and beautiful with ethereal qualities. They made the area look more interesting.

"Look, that is the Estate Master!" When Mu Chen appeared on the mountain outside the Heavenly River, many young men and girls looked at him with admiration.

"Estate Master is so impressive. He is so young, but he has already stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign level and become one of the masters in the Great Thousand World," many beautiful girls said in adoration as they looked at Mu Chen.

"Hahaha, stop dreaming, friends. Our Estate Master is so high up. He would not take a liking to us," a rational girl said, laughing.

A young man said, "I have heard that our Estate Master has already found his soulmate. She is the lady who has cultivated the Luo God Celestial Body. She will be the Great Beauty in the Great Thousand World. You had better stop dreaming." Having said that, the young man glanced at the girls who were around.

The area around the Heavenly River was suddenly bustling with a lot of people. Although Mu Chen was far from the Heavenly River, he was able to capture the conversations and laughter that was going on around the river. He found it funny and embarrassing at the same time.

When he saw the young men and girls, he had some mixed feelings. He recalled the days when he was still at the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. When he was cultivating there, he was filled with admiration for the top powers, just like the young men and girls here were.

When Mu Chen thought of it, he smiled. After he put away these thoughts, a ray of light shot out from his eyes. It turned into a crystal pagoda that hung before him.

For the past few days, he had been staying in the Mu Estate to ensure that the entire North Territory was under control. He was able to put aside some time now to enter the Ancient Celestial Palace to deal with the problem that was still in the crystal pagoda.

When he fought Ancestor Xuan Tian a few days ago, he had only suppressed Ancestor Xuan Tian in the pagoda and had not truly defeated him. Mu Chen had some time at the moment to finish him off. If he did not do that, he would not be able to use the pagoda in the future when dealing with his enemies.

The crystal pagoda hung quietly before him and exuded a Holy Light. Mu Chen moved his body, turned into a streamer, and shot into the pagoda. In the twinkle of an eye, he appeared inside the pagoda.

He looked around and saw crystal light bursting out in the pagoda. It gathered at the center of the pagoda to form a Crystal Star. A figure was sitting cross-legged in the Crystal Star, and he was continually activating his spiritual energy to defend against it.

When the figure in the Crystal Star noticed Mu Chen watching him, he opened his eyes and suddenly looked pale. He was Ancestor Xuan Tian, who had been subdued by Mu Chen with the help of the pagoda.

Mu Chen ignored the look on Ancestor Xuan Tian's face and looked around the pagoda with immense interest. A great change had taken place in the pagoda after Mu Chen stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign level. Every ray of crystal light in the pagoda contained umpteen ancient runes as he looked at them carefully. The runes possessed great sealing power.

The sealing power was so mighty that no matter how powerful Ancestor Xuan Tian was, he could not force his way out. The moment he activated his spiritual energy, the sealing power would come over him and seal up his spiritual energy.

Is the current sealing power of the pagoda able to work effectively on a Heavenly Sovereign? Light glittered in Mu Chen's eyes. Previously, the pagoda had not possessed this ability, but it seemed to be able to do so now.

The Budur Ancient Clan is indeed unique, being classified under the five big ancient clans in the Great Thousand World. The power of this seal is indeed overbearing. Mu Chen exclaimed in his heart. Without the help of the sealing power from the pagoda, he would have had a hard time dealing with Ancestor Xuan Tian.

"Ancestor Xuan Tian, are you enjoying yourself in my pagoda?" Mu Chen asked with a smile as he stared at Ancestor Xuan Tian.

Ancestor Xuan Tian looked pale. He was furious. However, he had to suppress his anger as he said humbly, "I admit defeat. I was in the wrong previously, and I apologize for what I have done. I can even compensate you, as long as you let me out of this place. What do you think?" He had to be humble and admit defeat since he was trapped in an unfavorable situation.

Mu Chen smiled and said, "You nearly caused my Mu Estate to fall apart. Do you think a simple apology can make up for that?"

Ancestor Xuan Tian shouted angrily, "What do you want, then? I did not kill anyone in your Mu Estate!"

Cold light flashed in Mu Chen's dark eyes as he said, "If you had done that, I would have killed you already!"

When Ancestor Xuan Tian sensed the killing intent in Mu Chen's voice, he became frightened. He knew that Mu Chen indeed had the capability to suppress him in this strange pagoda until the day he died.

When Ancestor Xuan Tian thought of it, he swallowed hard. He then tried to appease Mu Chen and said with a smile, "Brother Mu, why did you say that? In actual fact, there is no bad blood between us. Hei Guang is the one who instigated me to create trouble for you. Just tell me what I can do for you so that you will let me off. As long as it is within my capability, I will definitely do it!"

When Mu Chen heard it, he squinted. So, Elder Hei Guang is the one! However, Hei Guang could not possibly have done it alone. He must have had the backing of the most powerful force in the Budur Ancient Clan, which was the Xuan lineage.

"It may be possible for me to let you off," Mu Chen said casually as he stared at Ancestor Xuan Tian. Although he could suppress Ancestor Xuan Tian if he wished to, it would not do him any good.

When Ancestor Xuan Tian heard Mu Chen's tone soften, he was elated. He immediately asked, "Brother Mu, what can I do for you?"

Mu Chen smiled and said, "If you promise to be the elder of my Mu Estate and be under my command for 100 years, it will be as though nothing ever happened."

"What?" Ancestor Xuan Tian's eyes widened, and his face turned ghastly pale. He then shouted, "I have been living a carefree life all these years. Why should I be under your command!?" After all, he was a Heavenly Sovereign. How could he become Mu Chen's slave!?

Mu Chen was not surprised by his strong reaction, and he said flatly, "I will hold a grand ceremony to invite you as our elder. This is giving you due respect. Moreover, I will not instruct you to perform any task for no reason. I only want you to stay in our Mu Estate for 100 years. As long as you behave yourself, this will be good enough."

Ancestor Xuan Tian furrowed his brows and looked hesitant.

"If you do not wish to accept it, I will not force it upon you." Mu Chen looked down, and his eyes gradually turned cold. He then said, "However, we will have to settle our scores." Having said that, he formed a seal with his hands, and the pagoda shook. Crystal light started to whizz down from every direction.

When Ancestor Xuan Tian saw Mu Chen's actions, he was shocked. He gritted his teeth and said, "Thirty years! I will be the elder of your Mu Estate for 30 years. During this period, if anyone dares to create trouble for your Mu Estate, I will definitely stop them!"

Ancestor Xuan Tian could tell that Mu Chen was a decisive person. If they could not come to terms with each other, he would definitely not show him any mercy.

After Ancestor Xuan Tian made the statement, a gentle smile broke out on Mu Chen's face, and he nodded. "All right."
