The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

Upon returning to the Holy Land, Han Mu went directly into his secluded cultivation room and instructed Zhou Meng and Luo Feng to guard the door and not allow anyone to disturb him.

Inside the secluded cultivation room, Han Mu sat cross-legged and took out the Chaos Pearl. The pearl was pitch black, with a chaotic luster flowing across its surface, radiating a rich aura of chaotic origin. Just by holding it in his hand, Han Mu could feel the immense power contained within it.

"The Chaos Pearl is the primordial treasure of the Chaos Sea. If I can completely refine it, my cultivation will at least reach the mid-stage of the Dominator realm, and I might even be able to touch the threshold of the late-stage Dominator realm." Han Mu murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

He held the Chaos Pearl in his palm, circulated the "Chaos Sovereign Scripture," and began to refine it.

Sensing Han Mu's domineering power, the Chaos Pearl began to resist. Chaotic runes appeared on the surface of the pearl, forming a protective layer to prevent Han Mu's power from intruding.

"As expected of a treasure from the origin of chaos, it actually possesses its own sentience." Han Mu was not surprised. The more powerful the treasure, the more difficult it is to refine. He was already prepared for this.

Han Mu increased his power output, and the power of domination surged towards the Chaos Pearl like a tidal wave. Cracks began to appear on the protective runes of the Chaos Pearl, but it quickly repaired itself, and the two sides were locked in a tug-of-war.

The refining process lasted for three days and three nights. Fine beads of sweat appeared on Han Mu's forehead. The Chaos Pearl's resistance was much stronger than he had imagined. He used 30% of his power but only refined less than 10%.

"At this rate, it will take at least three months to fully refine it, which is too slow." Han Mu frowned. He couldn't wait that long. There were even stronger beings deep within the Chaos Sea, and he had to improve his strength as soon as possible.

With a determined look, Han Mu summoned the Coffin of Origin and the Eternal Furnace. The two treasures floated above the Chaos Pearl, emanating the power of suppression and refining, helping Han Mu refine the Chaos Pearl together.

The suppressing power of the Coffin of Origin and the refining power of the Eternal Furnace acted simultaneously on the Chaos Pearl, instantly shattering its protective runes, and the Chaos Origin began to be absorbed by Han Mu.

"It works." Han Mu was overjoyed and absorbed the Chaos Origin with all his might. As the Chaos Origin surged into his body, his cultivation began to improve, and the bottleneck of the early stage of the Dominator began to loosen.

The refining process lasted for seven days and seven nights. Seventy percent of the Chaos Pearl was refined, and Han Mu's cultivation broke through to the mid-stage of the Dominator realm. His strength surged, and every move he made contained the power of the Chaos Law.

"Still 30% left, continue." Han Mu did not stop and continued to refine the remaining 30%.

Three days later, the Chaos Pearl was completely refined, transforming into a stream of light that merged into Han Mu's body, becoming one with his sovereign origin.

Han Mu opened his eyes, a chaotic light flashing within them. His cultivation was stable at the mid-stage of the Dominator realm, just one step away from the late-stage Dominator realm.

Han Mu brought up the system panel to check the status.

Name: Han Mu

[True Realm: Mid-Stage Dominator]

[Laws: Law of Time (Perfected), Law of Chaos (Mastered)]

[Status: Peak, lifespan increased by tens of millions of years]

[Possesses: Coffin of Origin (complete), Eternal Forge, Chaos Pearl (refined), Netherworld Guardian Token, Time Guardian Legacy]

[System Notification: Congratulations, host, for refining the Chaos Pearl and unlocking a new ability: Chaos Domain (You can deploy a Chaos Domain that suppresses all enemies within it)]

"Chaos Domain, good skill." Han Mu nodded in satisfaction. With the Chaos Domain, his combat power increased by at least 30%.

Han Mu got up and walked out of the seclusion room. Zhou Meng and Luo Feng were guarding outside the door. When they saw him come out, they immediately came to greet him.

"My lord, you've broken through!" Zhou Meng exclaimed in delight. He could sense that Han Mu's aura was several times stronger than before.

"Hmm, mid-stage Dominator, not far from late-stage Dominator," Han Mu said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is mighty! In just ten days, you've broken through from the early stage of the Sovereign realm to the middle stage. That's incredibly fast!" Luo Feng flattered.

"Stop flattering me. Has anything happened in the Holy Land while I was away?" Han Mu asked.

"It's nothing serious. A few ignorant forces tried to provoke us, but Zhou Ge and I dealt with them," Luo Feng said.

"That's good. By the way, during my seclusion, was there any movement from the Chaos Sea?" Han Mu asked. He sensed that the auras deep within the Chaos Sea were still there, but they didn't seem to have moved.

"No, the Chaos Sea is very calm. However, a few days ago, the Thunder Emperor of the Chaos Thunder Sea sent someone to deliver an invitation, inviting you to attend the Chaos Sea Ruler Gathering." Zhou Meng took out a golden invitation and handed it to Han Mu.

Han Mu accepted the invitation, opened it, and read: "The Chaos Sea Sovereigns Gathering, held once every hundred years. This gathering is hosted by the Thunder Emperor, and all Sovereigns of the Chaos Sea are invited to participate and discuss important matters concerning the Chaos Sea."

"A gathering of the rulers of the Chaos Sea, how interesting. I might as well go and meet the other rulers." Han Mu put away the invitation and decided to attend.

"My lord, I've heard that the gathering of the rulers of the Chaos Sea is very dangerous. Sometimes rulers fight each other at the gathering, and some even perish," Zhou Meng said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm currently in the mid-stage of the Overlord realm, and I also have the Coffin of Origin and the Chaos Pearl. Even if I encounter a late-stage Overlord, I'll still have the strength to fight back," Han Mu said confidently.

"Then I'll accompany you up there," Zhou Meng said.

"No need. You and Luo Feng stay in the Holy Domain and take care of the house. I'll go alone." Han Mu shook his head. The Sovereign Gathering was not something Zhou Meng could attend; going there would only make things dangerous.

"Then be careful, my lord." Zhou Meng did not insist any further.

After explaining a few things, Han Mu left the Holy Domain and headed to the Chaotic Thunder Sea.

The chaotic sea of ​​thunder continued to rumble with lightning. Han Mu entered the sea of ​​thunder and quickly arrived in front of the Thunder Palace. The palace gates were open, and seven or eight figures, all of whom were at the Sovereign Realm, were already sitting inside.

When Lei Di saw Han Mu, he stood up to greet him.

"Brother Han is here, please come in." Lei Di said warmly.

"Brother Lei, you're too kind." Han Mu cupped his hands in greeting, entered the palace, and sat down in an empty seat.

The other rulers all looked at Han Mu with curiosity and scrutiny in their eyes. Han Mu was a newly promoted ruler, and none of them had ever seen him before.

"Everyone, this is Han Mu, the newly promoted ruler, whose strength is considerable," Lei Di introduced.

"How strong can a newly promoted ruler be?" A burly man scoffed. He was the ruler of the Chaos War Sea, a War Emperor, and a mid-stage ruler.

"War Emperor, do you want to give it a try?" Han Mu said calmly, he didn't like being looked down upon.

"Let's give it a try." The War Emperor stood up and threw a punch at Han Mu. The fist imprint contained terrifying battle intent, as if it could tear apart the chaos.

Han Mu neither dodged nor evaded, and threw a punch as well. The two fists collided, producing a deafening roar. The War Emperor staggered back three steps, while Han Mu remained unmoved.

The entire audience was in an uproar. The War Emperor was a veteran mid-stage Dominator, yet he was knocked back by Han Mu with a single punch. This newly promoted Dominator was too strong.

"Good, good strength, Brother Han, I'm impressed." The War Emperor was not angry at all, but laughed heartily. He was a straightforward person and only respected the strong.

"Brother Zhan Di is too kind," Han Mu said calmly, withdrawing his fist.

"Alright, now that everyone knows each other, let's get down to business," Lei Di said, and everyone quieted down.

"The reason we've gathered everyone here is because a new Chaos Secret Realm has appeared in the Chaos Sea, where a Chaos Treasure has been born. However, the secret realm has powerful restrictions, and it will take the combined efforts of multiple rulers to open it," said the Thunder Emperor.

"Where is the Chaos Realm?" a ruler asked.

"At the deepest part of the Chaos Sea, in the Abyss of Chaos," said the Thunder Emperor.

Everyone's expressions were solemn. The Abyss of Chaos was the most dangerous place in the Chaos Sea. It was said to be connected to the void beyond the chaos, and it was very difficult to come out once you went in.

"The Abyss of Chaos is too dangerous; if you go in, you might not come out," a ruler said hesitantly.

"Fortune favors the bold, and the treasures of chaos are rare; if you miss this chance, you may never have another one," said the Thunder Emperor.

Han Mu pondered for a moment and decided to go and take a look. He was now in the mid-stage of the Dominator realm, and with the Coffin of Origin and the Chaos Pearl protecting him, he could escape unscathed even if he encountered danger.

"I'll go," Han Mu said.

"Good, Brother Han has guts. Who else is going?" Lei Di looked at the other rulers.

Ultimately, five rulers decided to go to the Abyss of Chaos: the Thunder Emperor, the Flame Emperor, the Ice Emperor, the War Emperor, and Han Mu. The other rulers, unwilling to take the risk, chose to give up.

"Alright, let's form a team of five and meet at the entrance to the Abyss of Chaos in three days," said the Thunder Emperor.

After everyone dispersed, Han Mu left the Chaotic Thunder Sea and prepared to head to the Abyss of Chaos.
