Chapter 2011

Ever since he heard about the Absolute Beginning Demonic Mine, Gu Chen had the thought of exploring it.

Now that Saint Chen was involved, Gu Chen's interest in the Absolute Beginning Demonic Mine grew even greater.

He already had the thought of going, but the Great Prophet's reminder made him give up on the idea for now.

Right now, the Absolute Beginning Demonic Mine was everyone's target. If he wanted to go, he had to wait for the storm to pass.

"Patriarch Chen, I'm sure you understand the current situation. I promise you that when the time is right, I will accompany you to the Absolute Beginning Demonic Mine to search for Saint Chen's whereabouts. But before that, please be patient and stay in Peidu to cultivate. "

Gu Chen was more or less worried that Chen Wenfeng would act impulsively.

"You will go with me? Are you serious? "

Chen Wenfeng was a little shocked. Though they were allies, the Absolute Beginning Demonic Mine was a dangerous place. The chances of him finding his ancestor there were like finding a needle in a haystack. How could a normal person promise him such a thing?

"If Saint Chen is still alive, perhaps Chief Chen won't have to hide his identity anymore. We will have a backer. Isn't it worth the risk?"

Gu Chen answered freely. Chen Wenfeng stared at him for a while and nodded solemnly. "Okay, I won't act impulsively. If you go with me, the chances will be higher."

This was indeed not the right time. Whether Gu Chen was being sincere or not, they would know when the time was right.

The three chatted for a long time and understood most of what they wanted to know. Chen Wenfeng left first.

Only Gu Chen and the Great Prophet were left. Gu Chen said casually, "How is Patriarch Mu? I was worried that you wouldn't come back. "

"Human? Frined Gu, do you know what race Patriarch Mu is? "

The Great Prophet said with a faint smile. Without others around, the way he addressed Gu Chen also changed.

"Of course Patriarch Mu is from the Shepherd Tribe. Is there a problem?"

The Great Prophet shook his head.

"Patriarch Mu is the ancestor of the Shepherd Tribe. In the eyes of others, he is also from the Shepherd Tribe. However, the name Mu Clan only started with Ancestor Mu. "

"This is actually a question of which came first, the egg or the chicken. Because Ancestor Mu has existed for too long, no one knows his true race."

"Oh?" Gu Chen listened carefully. He knew the Great Prophet wouldn't mention this for no reason.

"Everyone knows that Ancestor Mu has mastered the Great Fusion Technique of the Eight Great Techniques, but very few people truly understand this Great Dao technique."

"This Great Dao Technique can fuse the bloodlines of all living beings in the universe, and it can also fuse almost all substances to continuously evolve itself."

"No one knows which race Ancestor Mu originally belonged to, because when he rose to fame, he had already used the Great Fusion Technique to escape the restrictions of his original race and walked a unique path of evolution."

"Think about it, a person who has been hunting the bloodlines of powerful races for countless years and fusing them into his own body to make himself perfect, is he a human or a beast? He can only be described as a monster! "

As the Great Prophet spoke, his gaze became solemn. When he was invited by Ancestor Mu and saw his appearance, it could be said that he would never forget it for the rest of his life.

It wasn't that Ancestor Mu's appearance was ferocious and terrifying, but the aura he exuded. It was an aura that was above all living beings in the universe. It was an aura that made him, who was merely a human, instinctively tremble!

"So the Great Fusion Technique is such an amazing technique."

A strange light appeared in Gu Chen's eyes. He could imagine how powerful Ancestor Mu was from the Great Prophet's words, but at the same time, he couldn't help but think of his Demonic Sky-Devouring Butterfly.

His Demonic Sky-Devouring Butterfly could devour other living beings and filter out the outstanding bloodline factors, allowing itself to evolve. It sounded very similar to Ancestor Mu, who had the Great Fusion Technique.

Of course, Ancestor Mu's level was not something the Demonic Sky-Devouring Butterfly could compare to. How could the mere instincts of a demonic butterfly compare to the mighty Great Fusion Technique?

"It's not just an amazing technique. Compared to other Great Dao techniques, the most terrifying thing about the Great Fusion Technique is that it can be inherited! "

Deep fear appeared in the Great Prophet's eyes. "There are currently tens of thousands of tribes of various sizes in the Mu Tribe, and each tribe seems to be a different race. However, they all belong to the Mu Tribe because their ancestors are all Ancestor Mu's biological children.

"Rumor has it that Ancestor Mu is a male and female body, and because he cultivates the Great Fusion Technique, every child he gives birth to is a brand-new life form that combines the advantages of many races. They possess talent that far surpasses that of other races.

"It's said that half of these brand-new life forms die prematurely because they can't meet Ancestor Mu's requirements. Therefore, they are directly eaten by him. And those that can stay and grow up smoothly will often found a new tribe. "

Gu Chen clicked his tongue when he heard this, and he couldn't help but say, "In other words, all the people of the Mu Dynasty are equivalent to the bloodline of Ancestor Mu?"

The Great Prophet nodded.

Gu Chen immediately understood why the Mu Dynasty was the leader of the Thirteen Dynasties of the Second Mountain and Sea. It wasn't just because Ancestor Mu was powerful, but because of the terrifying power of the nation!

The people of the dynasty were all descendants of Ancestor Mu. Because of the Great Fusion Technique, they possessed talent that surpassed that of other races. How powerful would they be if they were passed down from generation to generation?

"The people of the Centaur Tribe under the Mu Tribe are all naturally good at archery. Because of this, the Mu Dynasty has the most powerful archer army in the Dao World.

"The people of the Gigantic Scale Tribe under the Mu Tribe are all giants with the upper bodies of giants and the lower bodies of Qilins. They are also known as the most powerful cavalry in the Dao World.

"Over the long years, Ancestor Mu has used his advantages to cultivate many extremely powerful troops for the Mu Dynasty. They are simply invincible!"

The Great Prophet gave examples, which made Gu Chen's eyelids twitch. He asked in disbelief, "The Great Fusion Technique is so heaven-defying. If this goes on, won't the Mu Tribe become the most powerful race in the Dao World? Ancestor Mu's actions have definitely infringed on the interests of the major powers in the Dao World. Don't tell me the other powers don't have any countermeasures? "

The rise of a race with almost limitless possibilities for evolution would definitely threaten the interests of the other major powers. Logically speaking, the major powers in the Dao World would never allow the Mu Tribe to grow!

"The Mu Tribe's fearsomeness naturally attracted the fear of many major powers. However, although Ancestor Mu can give birth to children with all kinds of talent, he can't decide what kind of talent his children will have. In other words, it's random, and he can't control it.

"Furthermore, every child he gives birth to will actually affect Ancestor Mu's physical condition. Later on, Ancestor Mu has fewer and fewer children. The number of tribes in the Mu Dynasty has been maintained at a stable level, so the major powers are much more at ease.

"Of course, there's another important reason: the Supreme Qi Palace!"

As the Great Prophet explained, he suddenly changed the topic.

"The Supreme Qi Palace is a member of the Ancestor of Primordial Chaos. It is the most transcendent power in the Second Mountain and Sea. The entire Second Mountain and Sea can be said to be under its sphere of influence.

"It's said that the Supreme Qi Palace has tacitly approved many of Ancestor Mu's actions. Since it has approved them, what right do the major powers in the other Mountains and Seas have to interfere? If they make a move against the Mu Tribe, it's the same as provoking the Supreme Qi Palace! "

Gu Chen frowned when he heard this. "Ancestor Mu has the support of the Supreme Qi Palace? Ancestor Mu is so powerful. Isn't the Supreme Qi Palace worried that the Mu Tribe will grow stronger and threaten their position? "

"As a member of the Primordial Chaos Group, they can overrule all of the Dao Court's suggestions with a single word. Naturally, the Supreme Qi Palace has its reasons.

"However, you don't need to worry. Although the Supreme Qi Palace has prevented the outside powers from targeting the Mu Tribe, it has always treated everyone equally within the Second Mountain and Sea. In fact, most of the time, the Mu Tribe is restricted by the Supreme Qi Palace's rules. "

The Great Prophet stroked his beard and chuckled. "If that wasn't the case, how could the Old Man have returned safely after being invited away by Ancestor Mu?"

Gu Chen heard the Great Prophet's words and asked, "What did Ancestor Mu ask you?"

"Nothing much. I was just curious about the Great Prophecy Technique, so I beat around the bush," the Great Prophet replied calmly.

"Then did the Great Prophet admit it?" Gu Chen teased.

"The Great Prophecy Technique has been lost for a long time. Everyone knows about it." The Great Prophet chuckled.

There was no evidence and it was only a suspicion. Ancestor Mu would not do anything to him.

After all, he was a dignified Dao Ancestor. He had to maintain some face, not to mention the restrictions of the Supreme Qi Palace.

"Then did Ancestor Mu ask you to perform a divination to predict the future of the Mu Tribe?"

"The Old Man does not have the ability to perform divination for the Dao Ancestor."

"Apart from that, did Ancestor Mu ask me about it?"

"You're just a nobody. Why would he mention you?"

The Great Prophet answered with a dissatisfied look on his face.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, had hidden himself from the world, while he had been pushed into the spotlight.

Fortunately, he was smart and quick-witted. Otherwise, he might have lost his life if he had been invited away by Ancestor Mu.

After listening to his encounter with Ancestor Mu, Gu Chen heaved a huge sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Great Prophet had dealt with it calmly and had not encountered any problems. They could now follow their original plan and bide their time.

After thinking about it, Gu Chen took out two Divine Traveling Pearls and placed them on the table.

"What's the meaning of this?" the Great Prophet asked with a glance.

"Previously, Great Prophet asked Prophet Qiao to pass the Ghost Lotus to me in return for a favor. Today, I'll bring you to an interesting place."

Gu Chen smiled. These two Divine Traveling Pearls had been found in the Hakone Saint's lair. Ever since he had obtained them, he had investigated and confirmed that the Divine Traveling Realm they connected to was what he was looking for.

"Return for a favor? Could Frined Gu be trying to test the Old Man? "

The Great Prophet shook his head helplessly. "Don't forget Fellow Daoist Zuo's reminder. He doesn't want us to continue investigating the secrets of the Heaven and Earth Association."

"Although Zuo Chunqiu has a plan, there will always be unexpected variables in this world."

"Just like how Ancestor Mu suddenly interfered with the situation of the Jade Dynasty because of the Absolute Beginning Demon Mine's phenomenon. No matter how thorough Zuo Chunqiu's considerations are, there's no guarantee that nothing will go wrong."

"Thus, we must have a backup plan. If Zuo Chunqiu isn't willing to tell us, we'll investigate it ourselves. This Gu has never been one to stick to the rules, and I don't intend to let Zuo Chunqiu bear the risk alone. "

"As for the worries of alerting the enemy or being more of a hindrance, let's put them aside for now. We just need to be careful."

"How about it? Great Prophet, are you willing to come with me? "

After Gu Chen finished speaking indifferently, the Great Prophet sighed and reached out to pick up one of the Divine Traveling Pearls.

"Very well, this old man will accompany you for a walk."
