The Great Ruler Chapter 1435 – The Showing Up of Qing Yanjing

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

Boom!

The booming sound continued to reverberate throughout Heaven and Earth as Budur Xuan stood in the air, his hands behind his back. An enormous black and white halo spun continuously above him, smashing the incoming spiritual energy ribbons completely.

At this time, Budur Xuan was getting closer to the Fortify Clan Grand Array. No matter how much Mu Chen circulated the energy of the array, he could not shake Budur Xuan by even a small fraction.

As various powerhouses watched this scene, they felt slight pity for Mu Chen. The mightiness of the Divine Grade was indeed beyond anyone’s imagination. Earlier, Mu Chen had suppressed multiple elders from the Budur Ancient Clan by using the power of the Fortify Clan Grand Array. But now, Budur Xuan had forced Mu Chen to stay in the array.

Upon a mountain summit that was not far away, Ling Xi, Long Xiang, and Qing Shuang observed the situation, anxiety flashing in their eyes. They could only pray for Mu Chen to survive this ordeal.

“What should we do now?” Qing Xuan looked at Qing Tian anxiously. If this situation persisted, it would not be long until Mu Chen was defeated.

Qing Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head. “The Great Elder is furious now, so there’s nothing we can do. But, you don’t have to worry too much, as even if he captures Mu Chen, the Great Elder will not deal too harshly with him.”

Qing Xuan grit her teeth and asked in reply, “Even so, confining Mu Chen will still delay his progress, right?”

After all, Mu Chen had superior talent and also possessed the Nine Divine Pulses. This was the time for him to improve his skills and march towards his peak. If he was confined, he would waste precious practice time. Then, he would have to spend more time and effort to reach the peak at a later date.

Qing Tian wore a bitter expression. He could only let out a low sigh as he said, “If that is the case, we must think of some way to free him secretly, even if it means that we will be punished by the Great Elder…”

Qing Xuan could only sigh helplessly as well, as they seemed to have no other choice.

From a mountain peak where the Maha Ancient Clan resided, Maha You had a smile on his face as he chuckled, then said, “Our trip to the Budur Ancient Clan has clearly been a fruitful one, since we are getting to watch such an exciting show!”

The rest of the powerhouses in the Maha Ancient Clan nodded their heads in agreement. They were all expecting the Budur Ancient Clan to put on a good show.

As the clan members of the Maha Ancient Clan, they wished for the situation in Budur Ancient Clan to become as chaotic as possible, and since Mu Chen had stirred up trouble in the Budur Ancient Clan, it was clearly to their advantage.

“However, Mu Chen is somewhat naïve. Although I don’t know how he is able to control the Fortify Clan Grand Array, the power that he can generate from the grand array is no more than 30 or 40 percent. As he is challenging Budur Xuan with only this, he is clearly just being clouded by wishful thinking.” Maha You sneered.

He then said lazily, “Well, it would be good if Mu Chen is captured by the Budur Ancient Clan. Otherwise, when it’s time for our Aeon Congress, there will be another unwelcome fellow in attendance.”

In their eyes, there was no doubt that Mu Chen would be defeated.

…

At the moment, Budur Xuan stood in the air, then walked slowly towards the Fortify Clan Grand Array. He stared at Mu Chen, who was currently hidden in the grand array.

Suddenly, he bellowed, “Lad, do you still dare to resist?”

Mu Chen slowly opened his eyes, then swept over Budur Xuan with a cold glaze. Then, without a word, he formed a seal with his hands. Instantly, the Fortify Clan Grand Array circulated and exploded with a thunderous sound.

A Gemstone Mountain that could conceal the sky and the sun was refined immediately, and a gigantic shadow was cast over Budur Xuan, instantly suppressing him. Upon seeing this, Budur Xuan frowned immediately.

With anger swirling in his eyes, he put his palms together and formed a seal. Instantly, the Black and White Halo expanded and the wind blew stronger. In the blink of eye, it had enlarged exponentially in size!

The Black and White Halo then collided head-on with the Gemstone Mountain. The Gemstone Mountain cracked, and within a short while, the Black and White Halo shot towards the sky as the Gemstone Mountain exploded in the air. At that moment, bejeweled dust fell down from the sky like a magnificent meteoric rain.

Mu Chen’s pupils slightly narrowed when he saw this. This expert of a Divine Grade was quite daunting indeed! Even though he had circulated the array to its maximum power, it still could not defeat Budur Xuan!

Rumble.

The Black and White Halo then charged fiercely towards the Fortify Clan Grand Array. The Black and White Halo then suddenly transformed into a gigantic black and white hand, which forced its way through the array in an attempt to seize Mu Chen!

Ka Cha!

As the black and white hand clashed with the array, a daunting spiritual energy impact exploded. However, the black and white giant hand was too ferocious, and it penetrated the grand array with great force, almost grasped Mu Chen!

Upon seeing this, everyone exclaimed in shock! Apparently, Budur Xuan intended to seize Mu Chen out of the array! He could then take control of the Fortify Clan Grand Array!

“You’re an arrogant and disrespectful lad! Since Qing Yanjing cannot teach you any manners, I’ll teach you some personally today! You will learn to respect the hierarchy!” Budur Xuan’s cold bellow echoed throughout the land as the black and white giant hand enveloped all of the areas around Mu Chen, leaving him with no room to escape.

Many powerhouses watched and shook their heads. It looked like Mu Chen was doomed.

“Uncle Diao, get my dad here now!” Lin Jing, who was watching the scene in horror, quickly grabbed Lin Diao by his arms and yelled in a hurry.

Xiao Xiao was looking at Yao Chen too, anxiety swirling in her bewitching eyes. Lin Diao and Yao Chen frowned slightly, while they exchanged meaningful looks and nodded their heads, signaling that they should call upon the Martial Ancestor and the Flame Emperor.

However, just as they were about to strike, they suddenly sensed something. Both of them stopped their movements at the same time, while they gazed at the spot behind Mu Chen. This was because the space behind him had suddenly torn apart, and a vague and thin figure had walked out from it!

At the same time, a cold and furious female voice rang out abruptly, “Budur Xuan, I don’t need you to teach my child anything!”

The moment the female voice was heard, a spiritual array spread out in the air above Mu Chen. The array formed another world. It was like a galaxy, and it looked extremely fascinating!

When the black and white giant hand came slapping down, it was wrapped within this galaxy array. Both the array and the hand vibrated and vanished at the same time.

The sudden daunting collision filled the spectators with horror, as they did not expect this figure to suddenly appear and strike. This figure was clearly powerful, as she could block the offense of Budur Xuan so easily!

All of them cast their shocked gazes towards Mu Chen, as behind him, a lady, who was dressed in white, had just walked out in mid-air! At that moment, millions of spiritual seals, which seemed to be able to form a spiritual array all by themselves, were flickering around her.

“Oh my gosh, she’s a Spiritual Array Ancestral Master, and the spiritual seals around her can form a world on their own! That’s the sign of a Divine Grade Ancestral Master!”

“A Divine Grade Ancestral Master… This is too scary!”

“What did she say just now? Mu Chen is her child? She’s his mother?”

While the various supreme powers were dumbfounded, the powerhouses of the Budur Ancient Clan looked at that slender figure, not knowing what to do. Others might not know her, but they knew her very well! The figure who had just appeared was Mu Chen’s mother, Qing Yanjing!

Lin Diao and Yao Chen were stunned as they stared at the slender figure. Yao Chen then exclaimed, “I never expected that Mu Chen’s mother would actually be a Divine Grade Ancestral Master…”

This was because the Great Thousand World had very few Divine Grade Heavenly Sovereigns. The number of people who could master the spiritual array to earn the title of Divine Grade Ancestral Master level was even less!

“Heh heh, since Mu Chen’s mother has shown up, it looks like we don’t have to meddle in this affair today,” Lin Diao said with a smile.

While the rest of the world was shocked about all that was happening, Mu Chen clearly heard the voice from behind him. He immediately shivered. With great difficulty, he turned around slowly and looked at the serene figure behind him.

At the same time, that serene figure fixed her gaze upon him. The non-stop vibration of the spiritual seals around her hinted at the intense emotions that she was undergoing at that moment.

“Mother…” As Mu Chen looked at her, he uttered one word in disbelief.

Even though he had seen Qing Yanjing once before, when he was in the Northern Heavens Continent, it had only been her spiritual body. But now, she was standing before him in person!

Ever since Mu Chen had left the Northern Spiritual Realm, he had been thinking of this moment. For this, he had gone through numerous tribulations. Now, he was no longer the young and ignorant juvenile that he had been back then. The day he had been waiting for had finally arrived!

Although the slender figure before him should have felt strange to him, the moment Mu Chen saw her, he felt like he knew her on a deep level. When Qing Yanjing had left, he was still an infant. But, after all of these years, he had a clearer idea of what Qing Yanjing had done for him.

To protect him, she had returned to the Budur Ancient Clan and accepted the punishment of solitary confinement. She also had to endure the pain of longing for her son, having only a simple hope that he would could grow up safely in her absence.

To protect him, she even had to endure the pain that was similar to tearing her own flesh apart, just in order to bestow her Eight Divine Pulses on him. When he thought of these sacrifices, he could feel an enormous bitterness in his heart on her behalf, and he was touched by her love for him. Instantly, his eyes became red as tears welled up in them.

As she was looking in Mu Chen eyes, something struck Qing Yanjing’s heart like a hammer. The ferocity and coldness that she had been consumed by when she was confronting Budur Xuan instantly disappeared.

She moved forward quickly, and with trembling hands, she touched Mu Chen’s face and said, “You’ve grown up…”

Her voice sounded husky, yet gentle. After she left, her infant son had grown into a tall and handsome man! He looked somewhat like his father, but his eyes and eyebrows resembled hers.

Qing Yanjing could hardly take her eyes off Mu Chen, and she felt a strong bond to her beautiful son at this moment. Feeling her cold and trembling palms on his face, Mu Chen could no longer contain his emotions.

With a gentle voice, he said, “Mother, I finally found you.”

Upon hearing this, tears could not help but roll down Qing Yanjing’s cheeks. She felt her heart aching for him because she knew the amount of hard work it had required for Mu Chen to get to the Budur Ancient Clan.

Qing Yanjing could see that he had grown powerful through the countless life and death experiences that he had encountered thus far. Just by thinking of these things, she felt as though a knife had just pierced through her heart.

“It’s all my fault,” Qing Yanjing said with regret. At that moment, she did not look like a Divine Grade Ancestral Master, but more like a mother who loved her child dearly.

Mu Chen gently held Qing Yanjing’s hands, and with a gleaming smile on his handsome face, he said, “No. Besides… None of that matters now, as I promised father that I would bring you home for a reunion.”

Qing Yanjing nodded her head, while trying to calm herself down.

Mu Chen then said, “But, before that, I’m going to repay all of the grievances that you have suffered for all these years!”
