Liu Bai's words allowed Qing Yanjing to calm down. Although she was still worried about her son's safety, under the current circumstances, the best choice they had was to wait.
Inside the Ancient Tower.
After Mu Chen self detonated his Immortal Golden Body and disappeared, only Ye Qing and Maha You remained in the arena. However, it was obvious that Ye Qing alone was no match for Maha You, so before long, he followed in Mu Chen's footsteps and chose to self detonate his Celestial Body to preserve his life!
Seeing this, a fanatical smile curled onto Maha You's lips.
"Finally, no one is left to compete with me. Now, as long as I subdue you, I will succeed!" Maha You muttered while staring at the dark golden figure.
Roar!
As Maha You locked onto the dark golden figure, the latter also turned its violent gaze toward him.
The previous two prey had both chosen self destruction at the last moment, leaving it with nothing to gain. This final one could not be allowed to escape.
Thus, its figure suddenly transformed into a streak of dark golden light that shot across the sky straight toward Maha You.
This time, however, Maha You did not flee. Instead, a savage grin appeared on his face.
He raised his hand, revealing an ancient yellow talisman. Faintly, an extremely terrifying fluctuation radiated from it.
Upon closer inspection, blood red patterns could be seen on the talisman. Those blood red markings had been formed from essence blood, and judging from the terrifying fluctuations they emitted, it was undoubtedly Saint Grade blood.
"A Saint Pattern Talisman? Maha Tian, you actually prepared something like this for him. It seems your Maha Ancient Clan truly harbored ulterior motives all along!" Qing Yanjing erupted in anger once more when she saw this scene outside the tower.
Maha Tian glanced at her indifferently.
"My Maha Ancient Clan has never concealed its desire for the Primordial Immortal Body. After waiting tens of thousands of years for such an opportunity, naturally we had to make thorough preparations."
Qing Yanjing gritted her teeth but found herself unable to refute him.
Although the dark golden figure was powerful, it was still incapable of resisting a Saint Pattern Talisman that could unleash Saint Grade power.
As the "Primordial Immortal Body" was gradually suppressed by the Saint Pattern Talisman, Maha You began laughing arrogantly.
Outside, countless spectators started discussing the situation, convinced that the Maha Ancient Clan was finally going to succeed this time.
"Hahaha!"
On the high platform, Maha Tian burst into loud laughter. Even with his composure, he found it difficult to restrain himself in the face of such a scene.
"Congratulations, Clan Leader!"
Behind him, the elders of the Maha Ancient Clan all offered their congratulations, their faces filled with ecstatic joy. After safeguarding the Primordial Immortal Body for tens of thousands of years, they were finally about to shed the identity of mere custodians.
Qing Yanjing bit her silver teeth tightly, while Buddha Xuan frowned deeply.
At this point, they could no longer worry only about whether Mu Chen would emerge safely. They also had to consider whether the Buddha Ancient Clan would face future upheavals because of this development.
Just as everyone believed the outcome had already been decided, a sudden change occurred.
From a deep abyss left behind by countless battles, a glazed light pillar shot into the heavens.
Moments later, a glazed figure slowly emerged.
"What?!"
Maha You was stunned. Looking carefully, he realized the figure was none other than Mu Chen, who had supposedly disappeared!
Beside Mu Chen stood a blurry glazed silhouette that flickered intermittently, as though some terrifying existence was being nurtured within it.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the dark golden figure that had already been controlled by the Saint Pattern Talisman let out a low growl.
A trace of fear appeared within its dark golden eyes. It struggled frantically as though trying to escape from this place.
"What is happening?"
Countless people stared at the sudden reversal in confusion.
Just moments ago, Maha You had seemed certain of victory. How had the situation changed so abruptly?
"Mu Chen! What did you do?" Maha You roared.
"Hehe, nothing much."
Mu Chen showed none of the weakness one would expect after losing his Celestial Body. Looking at Maha You with amusement, he said calmly,
"I simply want to borrow something from you."
Maha You frowned as an intense sense of danger rose within him.
"What do you want?"
"That!"
Following Mu Chen's pointing finger, Maha You's gaze landed upon the struggling dark golden figure.
Had this fellow gone mad?
Had he forgotten that he had just been forced to self detonate his Celestial Body to barely save his life?
"You want it?"
Maha You stared at Mu Chen as a twisted grin spread across his face.
"Then you can have it."
He raised his hand and waved lightly.
Swish!
The dark golden figure behind him suddenly shot forward. Its dark golden palm seemed to pierce through space itself as it lunged directly toward Mu Chen's throat.
Clearly, under the suppression of the Saint Pattern Talisman, the dark golden figure was now under Maha You's control.
Unfortunately, Maha You did not see the panic within the dark golden figure's eyes. Otherwise, he would never have committed such an act of delivering it right into a trap.
Just as the dark golden palm reached Mu Chen's throat, it abruptly stopped.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone present, they saw that the glazed figure behind Mu Chen had extended a hand at some unknown moment and firmly grasped the wrist of the dark golden figure.
"Tsk tsk, the real Primordial Immortal Body has arrived..."
Liu Bai's voice was not loud, yet to the people around him it sounded like thunder.
"What did you say?!"
Maha Tian, who had been laughing moments earlier, now stared at Liu Bai with eyes wide open in disbelief.
"Nephew Liu, are you saying that the glazed figure behind Mu Chen is the true Primordial Immortal Body?!" Qing Yanjing asked with delight written all over her face.
"More or less."
Liu Bai smiled and nodded.
"I don't believe the Primordial Immortal Body could be controlled so easily by a single Saint Pattern Talisman. And judging from the current situation, that dark golden figure is clearly terrified of the glazed figure."
Before Liu Bai could finish speaking, the dark golden figure was directly smashed into the ground, completely incapable of resisting.
Mu Chen calmly looked at the incredulous Maha You in the distance, then turned toward the mysterious glazed body and smiled softly.
"Go. Reclaim the Immortal Origin that belongs to you."
"You have slumbered for tens of thousands of years. Now it is time for the world to know."
"The Primordial Immortal Body has returned to the world once more."
Those lightly spoken words completely shattered Maha You's confidence.
"Impossible! Mine is the true Primordial Immortal Body! You're talking nonsense! I refuse to believe it!"
With a furious roar, Maha You exerted all his strength to control the dark golden figure and launched an even fiercer battle against the glazed figure.
"It's useless, a counterfeit is still a counterfeit. Before the true Primordial Immortal Body, it is utterly insignificant."
As if to prove Mu Chen's words, the dark golden figure controlled by Maha You was already enveloped by the glazed halo behind the glazed figure.
Glazed light spread forth.
The dark golden figure let out despairing howls because its body was rapidly melting under the illumination of that light.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Its miserable cries echoed across heaven and earth, yet it could do nothing to stop it.
After only a few dozen breaths, the dark golden figure transformed into a dark golden pill about the size of a palm.
"How is this possible?!" Maha You stared at the scene in disbelief.
Outside the tower, Qing Yanjing, Maha Tian, and the others were equally stunned.
Everything before their eyes seemed to be confirming Liu Bai's words.
"So my son's is the real Primordial Immortal Body..."
Qing Yanjing muttered to herself.
But when those words entered Maha Tian's ears, they sounded unbearably mocking.
Rumble!
Within the Ancient Tower, countless bolts of lightning roared like furious dragons.
After devouring the dark golden pill, the glazed light surrounding the Primordial Immortal Body shone brilliantly, illuminating heaven and earth.
Streams of glazed radiance descended around the Primordial Immortal Body, while the glazed halo behind it emitted mysterious power.
At this moment, the numerous experts outside the Ancient Tower finally came to their senses.
All of them could vaguely feel an indescribable and mysterious pressure spreading from within the Ancient Tower.
Even Saint Grade experts felt wary in the face of such pressure.
Liu Bai frowned slightly.
It seemed he had still underestimated these Primitive Celestial Bodies.
With his Middle Phase Saint Grade cultivation, he could actually feel pressure from a masterless Celestial Body.
"I wonder what the remaining Primitive Celestial Bodies, the Endless Light Body, the Grand Spirit Ancient Body, and the Desolate Ancient Body, are like."
"Pass down the order. The Maha Ancient Clan is entering first level war readiness."
Maha Tian's voice suppressed immense rage and killing intent.
A closer look would reveal that his eyes were glowing with crimson Spiritual Energy, while a savage and vicious expression appeared on his face.
"Little brat. You dare steal something belonging to my Maha Ancient Clan? Even if the Buddha Ancient Clan protects you today, I will still make you spit it out!"
Upon hearing this, Qing Yanjing's expression changed drastically.
"Buddha Ancient Clan, prepare for battle!"
Boom!
Terrifying auras filled the void.
The entire Ancient City trembled beneath the pressure.
If the confrontation between these two Ancient Clans truly erupted into war, the consequences would be world shattering.
At that moment, everyone was already wondering whether they should leave.
If fighting truly broke out, getting caught in the aftermath would be disastrous.
A surge of Spiritual Energy rippled.
The Ancient Tower moved once more.
Everyone looked over and realized that Maha You's Immortal Golden Body had already been destroyed by Mu Chen. Having admitted defeat, he had been expelled from the Ancient Tower.
"Go. Bring him back."
Maha Tian's face had completely darkened as he ordered one of the Maha Ancient Clan elders.
Immediately, an elder rushed out and quickly arrived beside the motionless Maha You. Carefully supporting him with Spiritual Energy, he brought him back to the Maha Ancient Clan camp.
"Big Brother, I..."
Maha You's face was deathly pale.
When he saw his elder brother, he opened his mouth, but blood immediately flowed from the corner of his lips.
"Don't speak."
Maha Tian cut him off.
Flames flickered within his eyes.
Raising his hand, he released a stream of black and white Spiritual Energy that transformed into a rotating Taiji diagram, protecting the critically injured Maha You before ordering others to escort him back to the clan.
With the resources of the Maha Ancient Clan, preserving Maha You's life was not a problem.
At worst, he could cultivate the clan's inherited Maha Boundless Body once more.
Although it was inferior to the Primitive Celestial Bodies, it was still second only to them.
If everything went smoothly, Maha You could still become a major expert within a hundred years.
After Maha You's departure, Ye Qing also chose to withdraw.
However, his situation could not compare to Maha You's.
Ye Qing himself was already the strongest expert of his faction, and in his current condition, there was no one capable of helping him.
In the end, Liu Bai took pity on him and temporarily sealed the Spiritual Energy dissipating within his body.
Amid the endless gratitude of Ye Qing's disciples, he then left.
At this point, the atmosphere outside the Ancient Tower had almost completely frozen.
Many people had already begun quietly leaving, while those who remained stayed alert and ready to flee at any moment.
"Why hasn't that kid come out yet? Is he planning to hide inside forever?"
Within the Maha Ancient Clan camp, one elder could not help muttering.
At this moment, Mu Chen was the fuse.
The instant he appeared, the two Ancient Clans would undoubtedly go to war.
Unfortunately, after Maha You and Ye Qing had left, the light screens that displayed the situation inside the tower had disappeared.
As a result, nobody knew what was happening within the tower now.
Jiu You moved closer to Liu Bai and quietly asked,
"Will they really fight?"
"They'll definitely fight," Liu Bai replied indifferently.
"But not anytime soon. They'll have to wait until Mu Chen comes out."
With the situation still unclear, there was no way the two Ancient Clans would casually begin a war.
"How long do you think they'll wait?"
"No idea. At least half a year, probably."
Jiu You looked at him suspiciously.
It sounded like he had simply made up that timeframe on the spot.
"Alright, stop watching."
Liu Bai patted her jade hand.
"You should leave soon. If you stay too long, I'm afraid Mandala will start worrying."
"What about you? Didn't you arrange to meet those Great Spirit Mountain monks on the Skylaw Continent in five days?" Jiu You frowned and asked.
"You don't need to worry about that."
Liu Bai smiled lightly.
"I'll send one of my clones back with you."
Having reached the Three Union Realm, the two clones created by One Qi into Three Purities were now virtually identical to the original body.
They could act independently without issue.
Therefore, sending a clone back to the Skylaw Continent posed no problem at all.
"Alright. Be careful."
Jiu You nodded.
She was not worried about Liu Bai's safety.
The Maha Ancient Clan was strong, but it was not stronger than the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor who had commanded the Demons.
Even the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor had been slain by Liu Bai, so there was no way the Maha Ancient Clan could keep him here.
Moreover, the Buddha Ancient Clan was present as well.
If a battle broke out, the Buddha Ancient Clan would be the main force.
At most, Liu Bai would only assist.
If Maha Tian had no other preparations, Liu Bai might not even need to intervene. The Buddha Ancient Clan alone would likely be enough to stop them.
The problem was that Jiu You simply did not understand the true strength of the Maha Ancient Clan.
How could a clan that had risen from being the weakest among the Five Ancient Clans to becoming the strongest rely solely on Maha Tian, a single Saint Grade expert?
Meanwhile, Maha Tian had been paying close attention to Liu Bai and Jiu You's actions.
He understood very well the relationship between Liu Bai and the Buddha Ancient Clan.
If fighting broke out, Liu Bai would never stand by and watch.
Yet when it came to the Primordial Immortal Body, retreat was impossible.
"Liu Bai... Hmph!"
Although he was extremely wary of Liu Bai, Maha Tian was not without preparations.
