My stunning iceberg CEO wife

Chapter 1117: Chapter 1117: Eastern Princess

”I sense it, a strong Half-Immortal King Realm presence,” Mu Chen said with a frown.

”Boss, what should we do now?”

”I underestimated it. If I had known earlier, I would have gone to the Big World first and brought the Asura God trio here. It wouldn’t be as awkward as it is now,” Mu Chen said, feeling helpless.

”Boss, it’s too late to regret now. We can only rely on ourselves,” Devouring Qilin said, speechless.

”Even if it’s too late, it’s okay. The Imperial City is so big, finding me is a pipe dream,” Mu Chen said, releasing an aura. The Divine Dragon Eye appeared and vanished in a blink.

In the following days, Mu Chen began to frantically evade the strong warriors’ probes, exchanging resources for cultivation. His aura grew increasingly close to the Hongmeng Aura. He felt that with a month’s effort of devouring, he could break through the realm. Unfortunately, the resources needed for the breakthrough were vast.

After searching for a few days with no sight of Mu Chen, the guards defending the Imperial City, pressured to leave, eventually opened the array, allowing everyone to leave normally.

”Huh? Are they really letting me leave? What is the Origin’s purpose?” Mu Chen said, speechless. He had prepared to fight the Origin and then escape, but unexpectedly, the array opened. It was too unreal.

”Boss, there’s only one explanation: the Origin might not be in the Longevity World, or perhaps it’s in seclusion,” Devouring Qilin explained.

”It should be in seclusion. Legend has it that no one has broken through to the Immortal King Realm for countless years. The Origin might be frowning as well,” Mu Chen said lightly.

”So if that’s the case, Boss, what do we do next?”

”The Longevity World is divided into five dynasties: Eastern Dynasty, Western Dynasty, Southern Dynasty, Northern Dynasty, and finally the Central Province Dynasty. The four major forces are a mountain, a manor, a palace, and a sect, and there’s also the Zhen Tian Academy. Additionally, there are two major evil forces, Hunters and Dark Hawk, as well as the Demon Clan, Ghost Clan, Zombie Clan, Soul Beast Clan, Sea Demon Clan, and three major hidden families. Finally, there are two or three powerful Auction Pavilions, but don’t touch those forces for now. They’re unbeatable. Let’s head to the Auction Pavilion first,” Mu Chen said seriously.

During this time, Mu Chen also learned about the entire situation in the Longevity World, which made things much more convenient.

”Boss, where do you plan to go to the Auction Pavilion?”

”To the most terrifying place in the Eastern Dynasty, Eastern City, where there’s a super large Auction Pavilion called the Eastern Auction Pavilion. Let’s go there,” Mu Chen said, disappearing in an instant.

Mu Chen didn’t consider returning to the Big World to bring along the Asura God and others. His own strength was formidable enough, so he didn’t need protection. Moreover, having someone around would be inconvenient, so he ultimately chose to go alone. When he returned later to bring the Ice Ancestor, he could take the trio along as well.

Soon after, Mu Chen descended upon the Eastern Dynasty, arriving directly in Eastern City.

At the entrance of Eastern City, the guards were strict, with warriors lined up under the city gate, and many people coming and going continuously.

”Eastern City is even more mysterious than I imagined. Let’s go inside and take a look,” Mu Chen said immediately, entering without further ado.

Inside Eastern City, it was just as bustling as the Imperial City, and the castle interiors were quite similar, albeit with different architecture.

”For a dynasty to last, there must be a reason. The treasury should have many resources!” Mu Chen said with a wicked smile, considering the dynasty’s treasury.

”But the immediate priority is to break through to the Hongmeng Realm first. Everything else can wait,” Mu Chen said, randomly choosing someone to ask.

”Bro, where is the Eastern Auction Pavilion?” Mu Chen inquired, looking at a young man passing by.

”The Eastern Auction Pavilion is at the end of the street, just a few kilometers away—easy to reach in the blink of an eye,” the young man replied earnestly.

”Thank you.”

”Is this your first time here, brother?”

”Yes, it is.”

”I thought you were here to see the beauties.”

”Beauties? How beautiful are they?” Mu Chen asked, curious.

In Mu Chen’s mind, wives, beauties, and cultivation were the most important. If there really were beauties, Mu Chen wouldn’t mind taking them as maids.

”It’s the Eastern Princess, the princess of the Eastern Dynasty. Across the Longevity World, the Eastern Princess ranks second in beauty, comparable to the fairies of the Immortal World,” the young man said excitedly.

”Interesting. No wonder Eastern City is so strict today; it’s because of this princess,” Mu Chen nodded, understanding.

”I won’t chat with you anymore, little brother. I’m off to see the beauty.”

”Tell me more, here, take this,” Mu Chen said, handing over an Emperor Weapon.

”Whoa, an Emperor Weapon! Are you really giving it to me?” the young man asked in shock.

”Yes, it’s yours,” Mu Chen said seriously.

”Wow, little brother, you’re so generous. Let me fill you in: This time, the Eastern Princess is choosing a husband, and the message has spread throughout the Longevity World. Everyone is coming in admiration. The person who wins the martial contest can become her husband.”

”Interesting. Where’s the contest being held?”

”It’s in the Eastern Martial Arts Arena in Eastern City. There must be over a billion people gathered there already. I thought I’d lose out on the entrance fee, but meeting you was worth it,” the young man said excitedly.

”Got it, I’m leaving now,” Mu Chen said and then disappeared in a blink.

But just a few seconds later, someone suddenly appeared in front of Mu Chen, exuding killing intent.

”Is there a problem?” Mu Chen asked, looking at the middle-aged man who appeared.

”Don’t you know that you’re not allowed to transcend space in Eastern City?” the middle-aged man said, his killing intent rising.

”I didn’t know,” Mu Chen said seriously.

”Since it’s your first time, hand over a hundred thousand lower-grade Longevity Stones.”

”And if I don’t pay?”

”If you don’t pay, you’ll die. It’s the rule of Eastern City.”

”Fine, I yield to you,” Mu Chen said reluctantly. It wasn’t the time to battle the Eastern Dynasty, so he temporarily endured, handing over a Reincarnation Weapon.

”If you transcend space again, you’ll be executed,” the middle-aged man said before disappearing instantly.

”Damn it, when did I ever have to endure something like this?” Mu Chen’s eyes darkened, and he exuded killing intent before disappearing.

Next, Mu Chen arrived at the Eastern Auction Pavilion. Logically, such a martial contest wouldn’t follow the usual timing, so Mu Chen planned to trade weapons for resources before going to the Eastern Martial Arts Arena.

”What’s going on? Why is there so little traffic? Did everyone go to see the beauty?” Mu Chen said speechlessly, noticing the paucity of people upon arriving at the Eastern Auction Pavilion.

”Young friend, do you need anything?” At this moment, an elderly man in black clothing looked at Mu Chen and asked.

”Trade, exchange resources.”
