Jianchen's unexpected idea stunned everyone present. Even the divine king was extremely surprised.
However, the elders of the Earth Spirit sect who had pleaded on Mu Ku's behalf all beamed with joy.
In their eyes, guarding the Tianyuan family for ten thousand years was nothing compared to their own lives.
Every single Divine King among them had lived for a very long time. Who knew how many years they had lived. Ten thousand years was just too short to them.
The sect master of the Earth Spirit sect finally let out a sigh of relief. Even though he also felt that it was extremely humiliating and humiliating for a Divine King to guard a clan that only had an Overgod for ten thousand years, it was nothing compared to Mu Ku's life.
Moreover, this Overgod was no ordinary Overgod. Instead, he possessed extraordinary battle prowess, a supreme Overgod who truly possessed the right to contend with the person who ranked first on the Overgods' Plaque.
Once an Overgod like that became a Divine King, he would definitely become an expert who stood above the Divine King in the future. He might even be able to contend with Primordial realm experts with his cultivation as a Divine King.
Guarding a clan for a supreme Overgod like that for ten thousand years was not something to be ashamed of.
"Elder Mu Ku, stop hesitating. Agree quickly …"
.....
Many Divine King elders and even the sect master of the Earth Spirit sect all communicated with elder Mu secretly.
Elder Mu stood on the stage with a pale face. He was dejected as he stared at Jianchen blankly. Naturally, he heard the messages from many elders. However, it was extremely difficult for him, a mighty Divine King, to guard a clan for someone else for ten thousand years.
Elder Mu stood on the stage silently for a very long time as he struggled inside. In the end, he slowly turned his head and looked at the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect.
The ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect stood in the distance calmly. He did not show any emotions at all.
In the end, elder Mu looked at Jianchen. He stared at this rising star who was only an Overgod but possessed battle prowess so great that even he was not his opponent. He sighed helplessly inside and said with some sorrow, "I … will guard your Tianyuan family for ten thousand years."
It took Mu Ku a lot of effort to say this short sentence. After saying these words, his entire person became dispirited, as if he had lost his soul, and he was listless.
"Since the grievances have been resolved, it's time for us to leave. Sang Tu, let's catch up another day," the divine king said to the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect.
The ancestor clasped his fist towards the divine king. After a simple greeting, he bid farewell to him.
Afterwards, the divine king and Jianchen boarded the carriage and left under the gazes of the elders and disciples of the Earth Spirit sect.
Elder Mu did not leave with them. He would be staying with the Tianyuan family this time, protecting the Tianyuan family for ten thousand years. As a result, he had some matters to deal with in the sect before he left.
"Mu Ku, come see me," the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect said to Mu Ku before drifting off.
Origin energy had turned into mist on the tallest mountain in the Earth Spirit sect. It formed a faint mist that coiled around the peak of the mountain, causing the mountain to become indistinct. It was like it was within a sea of clouds.
The mountain was the spiritual symbol of the Earth Spirit sect. At the same time, it was the pillar of the sect. It was the backbone that propped up the sect's prosperity.
This was because it was where the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect cultivated.
At this moment, the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect stood on the edge of a cliff on the top of the mountain. He stared at the world in the distance deeply as the wind whistled through the air, ruffling his silver-white hair and clothes.
Behind him was the current sect master of the Earth Spirit sect and the dejected Mu Ku. They stood there respectfully.
"Mu Ku, do you know why I defeated you?" The ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect said calmly with his back towards them.
However, there was a hint of helplessness in his calm voice.
"Originally, I did not understand, but I understood afterwards. It's because the Primordial realm expert behind Jianchen is very powerful," said Mu Ku.
"Ancestor, do you know the identity of the Primordial realm expert behind Jianchen?" The sect master asked.
The ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect sighed deeply, "I don't know the identity of the Primordial realm expert behind Jianchen, but that person is not someone our Earth Spirit sect can afford to provoke. She's so powerful that she only needs to raise a hand to destroy our Earth Spirit sect."
As he said that, the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect could not help but think about what had happened three days ago.
At that time, he was cultivating in seclusion in his secret room when a beautiful woman in white robes silently appeared in his secret room. If it weren't for the aura that the woman released waking him up, he probably wouldn't have known that a stranger had broken into this secret room that he had set up layers upon layers of formations without his knowledge.
Although the woman did not attack him, the pressure she gave off was so powerful that the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect still remembered it like it was yesterday.
That pressure was something he would never forget for the rest of his life. In the face of this pressure, he felt that he did not even have the strength to resist. It was as though he was facing a Primordial Chaos expert and was as weak as an ant.
He had no doubt that the woman possessed the terrifying strength to obliterate the Earth Spirit sect with just a raise of her hand.
How could his Earth Spirit sect afford to offend such a supreme expert?
Whether it was elder Mu Ku or the current sect master of the Earth Spirit sect, they were both shocked when they heard the ancestor's words.
They had heard that there was a Primordial realm expert behind Jianchen, but they had never thought that the Primordial realm expert would possess such terrifying strength, where even the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect feared her so much.
"Do you understand now?" A sliver of bitterness appeared on the ancestor's face. He said helplessly, "We can't afford to offend the person behind Jianchen, but our Earth Spirit sect has to maintain our dignity after all. If we directly admit defeat and the news spreads, it'll be bad for our Earth Spirit sect's reputation. That's why we let you fight Jianchen and lose to Jianchen in public. That way, not only will we be able to give an explanation to Jianchen and avoid offending the expert behind Jianchen, but we'll also be able to maintain the dignity of our Earth Spirit sect. "
"Although it's not very glorious for a Divine King to lose to an Overgod, Jianchen has already defeated a Divine King in the northern region. He already possesses the strength to rank first on the Overgods' Plaque, so it's not embarrassing for him to lose to a supreme Overgod like that."
"Mu Ku, go pack up. Once you're ready, we'll set off. Protect the Tianyuan family for ten thousand years."
"Yes, ancestor," Mu Ku replied politely. His heart was filled with warmth.
Now, he finally understood why his ancestor had told him that he could only lose in the battle against Jian Chen and not win.
As it turned out, Jianchen actually had a supreme expert who could easily destroy the Earth Spirit sect behind him. It was no wonder that the ancestor would make a decision like that.
After the sect master and Mu Ku left, the ancestor stood on the cliff silently for a while. Afterwards, with a flip of his hand, a piece of jade immediately appeared in his hand.
He held the piece of jade and recorded information on it with the senses of his soul. A while later, he suddenly looked into the distance, and with a wave of his hand, he tossed the piece of jade out.
Immediately, the piece of jade turned into a white streak of light, shooting off into the distance with unbelievable speed. It vanished in a single instance.
.....
Several middle-aged men appeared silently in the depths of the Yin Mountains of Sevens Despair. They hovered above the Yin Mountains of Sevens Despair as they stared down with sunken faces.
Below them, the mountains had already collapsed. Rubble had been piled up, and it was a mess.
Amidst the rubble, one could clearly see several gigantic figures lying on the ground.
Even though these figures were already dead, they still radiated with rather powerful presences. Every single one of them possessed the strength of a late Divine King when they were alive.
"Who is it? Who was the culprit? Who was it that stole this emperor's Great Dao Flower? " A middle-aged man stood at the very front in purplish-golden robes. He was dignified as he stared down coldly as he spoke through gritted teeth.
The middle-aged man was the ninth prince of the Blood Sun Empire.
"Ninth prince, I've already sent people to investigate, but this is related to a Primordial realm expert after all. It'll take some time to find out anything. However, I believe we'll find some clues very soon, "a Divine King behind the ninth prince said carefully.
"Hurry up and investigate. I want to know the identity of this Primordial realm expert as soon as possible. Hmph, so what if you're a Primordial realm expert to steal my Flower of Ways?" The ninth prince's eyes were cold. His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Divine King. He was only a step away from the Primordial realm.
Originally, he could have crossed this step easily with the Flower of Ways. It would not have taken him too much time.
However, now that the Flower of Ways had been stolen, the time he needed to break through to the Primordial realm would be extended indefinitely.
At this moment, a white piece of jade tore through the air and hovered in front of the Ninth Prince.
The ninth prince stared at the jade slip calmly and slowly caught it. He said, "This item should have come from a Primordial realm expert, but there are only a few Primordial realm experts in the Heavenly Moon Empire. Looking at the direction the jade slip came from, it should have come from the person from the Earth Spirit sect."
"Ninth prince, does the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect know anything about the jade slip?" A person behind the ninth prince asked.
"I hope so," the ninth prince said coldly. He immediately sent the senses of his soul into the jade slip.
Very soon, he read through the contents of the jade slip. A cold light flashed through his eyes, and he crushed the jade slip to pieces. He said emotionlessly, "Let's go. To the Dong 'an province of the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian."
.....
Jianchen directly returned to the Tianyuan family. As soon as he returned, he could clearly sense that the atmosphere of the entire clan had become extraordinarily lively. It was enveloped by a heavy atmosphere of joy.
"Patriarch, you've finally returned. Xiyu has successfully broken through and become an Overgod," Mo Ling saw Jianchen from afar and immediately ran over excitedly.
The Tianyuan family had gained an Overgod. This was definitely something worth celebrating.
This was because Overgods were still the rulers of a province in the current Divine Kingdom of Pingtian.
"Xiyu!" Jianchen could not help but think of the embroidered box he had given to princess Tai 'an when he mentioned Xiyu.
