"Have both of you seen the perpetrator?"

Hearing his casual question, Gu Lion King and Evil Fish Liang trembled as they quickly nodded.

"Why didn't you inform me of this earlier?" the man donned in green asked in a gentle tone.

Gu Lion King and Evil Fish Liang were both pale as Gu Lion King replied bitterly, "We originally wanted to capture him first and then leave it to you, our Lord, to decide. This is a matter that we did not consider thoroughly. We will accept your punishment."

The man's long fingers tapped gently on his knees, while he glanced calmly at the two men. As sweat ran down their backs, he said slowly, "As you two have been following me for many years, I will let bygones be bygones this time. I will explain this to the elder so the both of you will escape punishment."

"Thank you my Lord!" Gu Lion King and Evil Fish Liang were overjoyed and immediately bowed respectfully, gratitude surging in their eyes.

"Also, it is rumored that the perpetrator has cultivated the Holy Pagoda. Is that correct?" the green-robed man smiled and asked.

Gu Lion King nodded and said, "Young Lord, this perpetrator is gifted, as it is only by virtue of an Upper Earthly Sovereign's power that he was able to force me into a corner. According to my estimate, he must have cultivated the Holy Pagoda. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be so strong!"

The green-robed man narrowed his eyes as he smiled calmly. "He really is Qing Yanjing's son. I did not expect for him to still be able to achieve this step, especially with no support or resources from the Budur Ancient Clan."

Evil Fish Liang said hatefully, "Although the perpetrator does indeed have some skills, in comparison with you, my Lord, the difference is that of a firefly and the moon."

"Of course, our Lord is a supreme talent and the pride of the Budur Ancient Clan. As such, he will be in charge in the future, and Mu Chen will be eclipsed by our Lord." Gu Lion King also nodded in agreement.

At this point, Gu Lion King paused, hesitating bit. He then said, "But, when I met the perpetrator, I found that he had the two incarnations of equal strength as his own. As it was extremely powerful, I was caught unprepared."

"Two incarnations of equal strength as his own?" Upon hearing this, the green-robed man's gaze flashed. Then, he suddenly exclaimed, "Unless… Is that one of the rumored 36 volumes of the Rare Super Power, Qi into Trinity?"

Beside him, the Heavenly Sovereign, who was wearing a black robe, nodded and said, "The normal Spiritual Energy Clone is, at best, only about 1/10 of the strength of the actual body. To have equal strength, that can only be accomplished via the rumored Qi into Trinity. However, since it's been many years since the Qi into Trinity has appeared, I didn't expect that the perpetrator would have such amazing luck."

At this point, desire flashed in the black-robed Heavenly Sovereign's eyes. After all, a Rare Super Power of that rank was extremely attractive, even to a Heavenly Sovereign like him.

"Only our Lord is worthy of such a formidable Rare Super Power. How dare the perpetrator possess it?" Gu Lion King exclaimed harshly. He was clearly trying to incite the green-robed man to fight for it.

However, the green-robed man remained calm and unmoved. He then remarked nonchalantly, "The Qi into Trinity is appealing indeed, but as of now, I cannot spare the time to find trouble with him."

The black-robed Heavenly Sovereign nodded, then said, "The Young Lord is right. The Ancient Holy Gulf is near, and the most urgent thing is to attain the most perfect performance. If our Lord can obtain the Rare Super Power of our clan, Eight Budur, that has been lost for many years, he will certainly be able to surpass the other competitors and become the next head of our clan."

Eight Budur? Upon hearing this, Gu Lion King and Evil Fish Liang were shocked.

Gu Lion King then asked, "Is that one of the legendary 36 volumes of the Rare Super Power, Eight Budur?"

The green-robed man smiled leisurely and asked, "What's so surprising about this? The Eight Budur was created by our ancestor. However, this ancestor of our clan fought fiercely with the Heaven Demon Emperor of the Extraterritorial Race in the Ancient Holy Gulf. Unfortunately, he fell."

He then added, "Thus, the methods of practicing the Eight Budur were lost. Over the years, my people have tried everything they could to rediscover these methods, yet none of them have succeeded."

The Ancient Holy Gulf was one of the places in the Primordial Times where the Great Thousand World and the Extraterritorial Race fought in a decisive battle. The environment was cruel and harsh. Even a Complete Earthly Sovereign would be annihilated if they were careless.

The black-robed Heavenly Sovereign sighed upon hearing this. "It is a pity that the repelling force of that region is so strong, as it is an important junction between the Great Thousand World and the Extraterritorial Race. Once a Heavenly Sovereign approaches it, it will lead to a turbulent flow of time and space. If one is careless, I'm afraid the he would be transported into the territory of the Extraterritorial Race."

Hearing this, Gu Lion King and Evil Fish Liang both shivered. If they were transported into the Extraterritorial Race's territory, even a Heavenly Sovereign would be gradually exhausted to the point of death! Moreover, if one attracted the Demon Emperors, their situation would be even more hopeless!

"Now, all of the other Young Lords of the clans are trying to prepare for battle and enter the Ancient Holy Gulf. Obviously, their purpose is to go for the Eight Budur. If they succeed, even our Lord would be utterly defeated." At this point, the black-robed Heavenly Sovereign's face was grave, as such a situation obviously had serious consequences.

Gu Lion King and Evil Fish Liang also nodded, as they both agreed that stabilizing the Young Lord's position was much more important than dealing with the perpetrator. Thus, it was possible to put it off, even temporarily.

"While our main focus is the Ancient Holy Gulf, we also have to pay attention to the perpetrator. I am also interested in the rumored Qi into Trinity." The green-robed man smiled. "If I could get the Eight Budur and Qi into Trinity, even if I were only a Complete Earthly Sovereign that was meeting a true Heavenly Sovereign, I'd still be able to stand a chance against him."

The combat prowess of two of the legendary Rare Super Powers was absolutely beyond imagination.

"The Lord is wise, and only you are qualified to possess such a treasure. It is also a blessing for the perpetrator, who is able to provide a dowry for the Lord," Gu Lion King said immediately.

The green-robed man smiled and said in a gentle tone, "Gather some men and try to ascertain the perpetrator's whereabouts. After handling matters in the Ancient Holy Gulf, I will go to him myself. I wouldn't mind saying a few words for him in front of the elder, assuming that he would take the initiative to hand over the Qi into Trinity."

He then added, "Of course, the most important thing is whether or not we can hold this perpetrator in our hands. If so, we can use him as a bargaining chip against Qing Yanjing. If we can convince her to support me within the clan, then our strength should be sufficient."

The black-robed Heavenly Sovereign nodded, then said, "Although Qing Yanjing has been imprisoned for many years, she still has some strong supporters in the clan. These supporters cannot be underestimated. Hence, if you really can get them to support us, that will undoubtedly be good news."

The green-robed man smiled and nodded. He then raised his head and looked into the misty depths, while smiling softly. "So, this perpetrator is indeed my blessing..."

...

In the dark depths of the dungeon.

As Mu Chen looked at the calm lady who was sitting quietly, he heaved a sigh of relief. He could see that Ling Xi was clearly safe.

Ling Xi also raised her face at this time, gazing at the young man in front of her. A moment later, a relieved smile appeared on her face.

In the past few years, Mu Chen had completely matured. His former shy and amateur self had been replaced by a man who possessed tenacity and a calming aura that gave people peace of mind. He was still as handsome as ever, but was now even more charming.

Looking at Mu Chen, Ling Xi's smile grew gentler. This young boy from the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy could now truly face things on his own.

He no longer needed her protection, nor did he need Aunt Jing to constantly worry and fret over him. Moreover, judging from his fearless visit to the Spiritual Jade Island, Ling Xi now knew that Mu Chen had grown to the point where he was no longer afraid of the storm.

"Aunt Jing. Mu Chen has finally grown up, so you don't have to worry about him anymore. Also, I believe that it may not be long before the Budur Ancient Clan can no longer use Mu Chen to threaten you…" Ling Xi said.

"Sister Ling Xi..." As Mu Chen looked at Ling Xi, a bright smile appeared on his handsome face. With a wave of his robes, he clapped his hands against the prison bars and tried to destroy them.

Buzz.

However, when his palm fell upon the bars, they remained motionless.

Mu Chen gazed at the prison bars with some astonishment, soon discovering that the prison itself was composed of a spiritual array. Its rank did not seem to be any weaker than the Great Protection Array of Spiritual Jade Island.

This made him a little embarrassed as he scratched his head. Looks like this attempt at acting cool totally failed…

Giggle.

Behind him, Luo Li could not help but giggle. Ling Xi also smiled, and while she conjured a simple seal, a spiritual fluctuation soon emanated throughout the space. Instantly, the dark prison turned illusory, then disappeared completely!

"Ling Xi, you've already taken control of the spiritual array!" Long Xiang could not help but be shocked.

"All of the spiritual arrays here are arranged by Aunt Jing. So, when I was here for three years, I naturally learned how to control all of them. So, even if you didn't come, Gu Lion King wouldn't be able to do anything to me!" Ling Xi smiled.

The three looked at each other and laughed, each of them thinking to themselves, So, we did all of this in vain!

As they were speechless, Ling Xi laughed gently and said, "Of course, the fact that you came to save me makes me extremely happy…" Her smile was clear and moving, and they could tell that it came from the bottom of her heart.

"But… It is an extras special blessing that you came here, Mu Chen." Ling Xi looked at Mu Chen's bewilderment as she stretched out her tiny, jade-like hand.

She then gently laid her fingertips on the smooth, mirror-like black stone ground, which shimmered like a sea of stars. Her next words made Mu Chen widen his eyes even more.

She glanced at him and said, "That is because here... Lies a present from Aunt Jing."
