The Great Ruler Chapter 1411 – The Spiritual Pulse Hall

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the Great Thousand World, amid the Budur Ancient Clan.

A stone tablet was sitting at the center of the large, main hall. It was dark red in color and ancient runes were engraved upon it. It exuded a mysterious fluctuation, while spiritual lights of various brightnesses glittered upon it.

The stone tablet was known as the Spiritual Pulse Tablet, and it was a prized possession of the Budur Ancient Clan. The stone tablet was able to check the Spiritual Pulses of the clan members who possessed the bloodline of the Budur Ancient Clan. Whenever any clan member gave birth to a baby, the Spiritual Pulse Tablet would sense the Spiritual Pulse in the baby, then produce their respective spiritual light.

At the moment, about 100 people were sitting cross-legged around the stone tablet, each holding a brush and a script. They fixed their gazes on the Spiritual Pulse Tablet, and from the brightness of the spiritual light that was shown, they would be able to know the newborn’s Spiritual Pulse level.

Since the ancient times, the Budur Ancient Clan had strict control over their bloodline. Currently, they had a large number of clan members, and each day, several new babies were born. The Spiritual Pulses of all of these babies were captured by the Spiritual Pulse Tablet.

An elder was standing before the Spiritual Pulse Tablet, his hands behind his back. He was the Spiritual Pulse Hall Master.

The Spiritual Pulse Hall Master looked at the Spiritual Pulse Tablet, then waved his hand and asked, “How many Spiritual Pulses are there today?”

The supervisor, who was standing behind him, replied respectfully, “Hall Master, today there are more than 10,000. Among them, 8,000 possess the Human Grade Spiritual Pulse, 2,000 possess the Earth Grade, and 32 possess the Heavens Grade.”

When the Spiritual Pulse Hall Master heard this report, he nodded and said, “Do a thorough check on the 32 Heavens Grade Spiritual Pulses, then let them cultivate in the Inner Clan. At the same time, reward their respective clans.”

The supervisor jotted down what he had just said. Those who possessed the Heavens Grade Spiritual Pulse had great cultivation talents. The Budur Ancient Clan would groom them in the future, as they were the elites and would be of great value to them. Judging from this new crop, the Budur Ancient Clan had a rich base.

“This year, there are only five Divine Pulses in our clan, which all belong to the Seven Divine Pulse. Compared to last year, the level has dropped,” The Spiritual Pulse Hall Master said, while feeling more than a little unhappy about it.

Although the Heavens Grade was considered good, the Divine Pulse was the most valuable to the Budur Ancient Clan. A person with the Divine Pulse level might not step into the Heavenly Sovereign level, but he stood a higher chance of achieving it as compared to the rest of the people.

Those who were behind the Hall Master nodded in agreement, while someone exclaimed, “Indeed. It has been a long time since the Divine Pulse level has been seen in our world.”

The Spiritual Pulse Hall Master smiled and said, “Yes, it’s not often such an occurrence happens. It will be our good fortune to be able to see this happening.”

When the people heard his words, they nodded and smiled. It was indeed rare for a Divine Pulse level to appear in their Budur Ancient Clan, even given their large scale. If they could have it recorded, they would be rewarded by the clan and would be envied by all.

“Okay. You shall continue with your observation, and be sure that you don’t miss anyone.” The Spiritual Pulse Hall Master nodded, then did not say another word when he saw that the Spiritual Pulse Tablet was still. He then waved his hand and was preparing to leave.

Buzz!

However, just as he turned around to leave, the Spiritual Pulse Tablet, which had been sitting quietly at the center of the main hall, suddenly shook. In the next instant, everyone saw an indescribable Spiritual Energy light beam bursting out from the Spiritual Pulse Tablet, like a volcano!

A windstorm swirled out in the main hall and caught everyone by surprise. The windstorm swept the people up from the ground. The main hall instantly descended into utter chaos.

The Spiritual Pulse Hall Master forcibly turned around and activated his spiritual energy in order to fend off the shockwaves from the spiritual light. His eyes widened as he looked at the light beam that had just shot out from the Spiritual Pulse Tablet.

“The spiritual light is so strong. What Spiritual Pulse is this?” The Spiritual Pulse Hall Master was shocked.

Back when Lord Qing Yanjing was born, the Spiritual Pulse Tablet had shaken violently. Her Eight Divine Pulse had taken the entire clan by surprise. However, the Spiritual Pulse Hall Master was surprised that the current commotion was even more serious than that Eight Divine Pulse!

“Could it be… The legendary Nine Divine Pulse?” he wondered aloud.

When the Spiritual Pulse Hall Master thought of it, he was dumbfounded and his heart throbbed vigorously. The Nine Divine Pulse was legendary, and it was rarely seen in the Budur Ancient Clan!

Boom!

As the Spiritual Pulse Hall Master and the rest of the people looked on in amazement, the spiritual light that shot out of the Spiritual Pulse Tablet became more violent. It broke out of the dome of the main hall and shot up into the sky. Many members of the Budur Ancient Clan were baffled by such an occurrence.

Swoosh!

When the spiritual light broke through the main hall and shot up into the sky, the space beside the Spiritual Pulse Hall Master twisted and an elderly man stepped out. He fixed his gaze on the Spiritual Pulse Tablet.

“Greetings, First Elder!” When the Spiritual Pulse Hall Master saw the old man standing beside him, he shuddered and hastily bowed to him.

The old man was the First Elder, Budur Xuan, who currently held the highest position in the Budur Ancient Clan. In the Budur Ancient Clan, only the Clan Leader and the First Elder could name themselves after the clan, Budur. All these years, no one had assumed the position of the Clan Leader, so only the First Elder was named after the clan.

The First Elder nodded at the Spiritual Pulse Hall Master, while he continued staring at the Spiritual Pulse Tablet.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The space in the main hall twisted continually, while people began stepping out of it, one after another, then appeared in the main hall. These were the elders in the Budur Ancient Clan, all of whom held high positions. At this moment, they were staring in amazement at the spiritual light that had just shot out of the Spiritual Pulse Tablet.

“First Elder, this is…” one of the elders said in a low voice.

The First Elder stared at the Spiritual Pulse Tablet for a long while, then slowly nodded his head and said, “This is the Nine Divine Pulse!”

Wow!

All the elders cried out when they heard what the First Elder had said. They could not believe that it was the Nine Divine Pulse! The Budur Ancient Clan had not come across the Nine Divine Pulse for decades!

When Qing Yanjing was born with the Eight Divine Pulse, no one else had a higher level than her. After that, she had displayed amazing talent and had stepped into the realm of the Spiritual Array Ancestral Master, which took everyone by surprise.

The Eight Divine Pulse was powerful enough, so they couldn’t imagine how powerful the Nine Divine Pulse was! Moreover, it was rarely seen!

If the person was well groomed, this would mean that the Budur Ancient Clan would have another Divine Heavenly Sovereign! This was a piece of great news for them!

“Which lineage has this Nine Divine Pulse come from?” one of the elders asked curiously.

The eyes of all of the elders glittered. Some of them were from the Xuan and Mo lineages, which were the most powerful clans in the Budur Ancient Clan. As such, they were already planning to have a check done.

If the person who possessed the Nine Divine Pulse was an ordinary clan member, they would immediately recruit him into their lineage. If that tactic failed, they would get someone from their lineage to marry this person. No matter what, they were determined to have the person with the Nine Divine Pulse under their control!

The great movement of the Spiritual Pulse Tablet continued for 15 minutes before it stopped. Although the Spiritual Pulse Tablet had stilled, the main hall was still in an uproar.

After the First Elder calmed himself, he looked around and said, “Check all of the bloodlines in our clan and find the owner of the Nine Divine Pulse. Bring him into the Inner Clan and provide him with the best grooming. He is our gifted child, after all.”

He then added, “I know all of you have your own plans, but let me make this clearly to you… Regardless of which lineage you belong to, if you dare to hinder the progress of this matter, I will not let you off easily!”

The First Elder face was stern, and although his body was bent and looked frail, he exuded a horrifying aura that even frightened the elders in the Budur Ancient Clan. As such, they could only respond respectfully to him.

When the First Elder saw that the people were afraid of him, he nodded satisfactorily and said, “You may go now. Two months from now, we will hold the grand event, which is the Contest of the Lineages. Many of the supreme powers from the Great Thousand World will be here to watch it. You must prepare well and not bring shame to our clan.”

“Yes!” everyone replied in unison.

…

While the elders in the Budur Ancient Clan were taken aback by the appearance of the Nine Divine Pulse… In a secluded space, which was filled with an ancient aura, an elegant figure quietly sat cross-legged. The space around her twisted continually, while spiritual light surged around her, forming several mysterious spiritual arrays.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes. She usually looked calm, but at this moment, she was clearly elated. She placed her hand on her chest. Earlier on, she had felt the throbbing in her bloodline.

As she sensed it now, she realized that it was the Eight Divine Pulse that she had left behind in Mu Chen’s body. It had been refined!

Qing Yanjing was moved by this, and she looked quite pleased and proud. Her joy at this moment even surpassed the time when she had stepped into the realm of the Ancestral Master!

“Mu Chen, my son… You have finally reached this stage,” She murmured as she smiled warmly.

But, she suddenly felt a prick in her heart. She knew that, regardless of how talented Mu Chen was, he must have gone through many struggles before he could reach this stage.

She grasped her hands together, then said softly, “Since my child has reached this stage, I must get ready as well…”

Qing Yanjing’s eyes were filled with anticipation. She knew that she would see her son soon.
