Chapter 3786: Visitor from the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment

Jing Feng was not unfamiliar with the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. After all, it was a supreme organisation that ranked second on the Hall Brilliance Heaven.
Now, a great elder of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment was personally visiting Jian Chen. If this had occurred before the appraisal fair, Jing Feng would definitely be very shocked.
But after experiencing the events of the appraisal fair, Jing Feng had already grown numb. Even the city lord of the Immortal Rising City, a mighty Immortal Exalt, treated Jian Chen courteously. As such, it seemed rather normal now that a great elder of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment was visiting him.
“Let him in,” Jian Chen said calmly.
“Yes, senior!” Jing Feng accepted the order and immediately backed down. By Jian Chen’s side, he seemed more like an old servant, specially handling some miscellaneous affairs for him.
“Mumu, you should go as well. I’ll hold onto the Nine Limits Saint’s fortune for now. I’ll give it to you when you break through to Golden Immortal,” Jian Chen said to Jing Mumu after Jing Feng had left.
“Alright, master. Then I’ll go and cultivate now!” Jing Mumu was ecstatic, running off happily.
Soon after Jing Mumu had left, Jing Feng brought a ruddy old man over to Jian Chen.
The old man studied Jian Chen first. Seeing how composed he was, without being overwhelmed by his presence, he finally seemed to confirm something inside. He clasped his fist and bowed towards Jian Chen. “I am Xia Zhilai. I am a great elder of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. Greetings, senior!”
Xia Zhilai clearly failed to see through Jian Chen’s cultivation. Coupled with how Jian Chen was clearly unfazed by a great elder of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, he subconsciously treated Jian Chen as a powerful Immortal Exalt.
Such a person also happened to be the one he was looking for.
“The two of us are both Immortal Emperors. I would be of the Sixth Heavenly Layer, while you’re at the Seventh Heavenly Layer. You’re clearly stronger than me, so I really can’t accept being called senior,” Jian Chen said calmly.
When he heard that, the great elder of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, Xia Zhilai, was visibly taken aback. He subconsciously glanced around and said in complete surprise, “Fellow, you’re actually an Immortal Emperor as well? May I ask if the master of this place is currently present?”
“I rented this courtyard. If you’re looking for the master of this place, it should be very easy given the abilities and methods of your Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment,” Jian Chen said casually.
“You flatter us, fellow. The master I’m referring to is not the owner of this property.” Xia Zhilai shook his head gently. He paused for a moment before continuing, “I’ll be honest. I’ve come this time because I sensed the presence of the Energy-devouring Furnace through a secret treasure.”
“The Energy-devouring Furnace is one of the treasures of our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. We cannot afford to lose it, which is why I specially came to investigate.”
“The Energy-devouring Furnace? So you came for that thing. You should have told me sooner. It happens to be in my possession.” Jian Chen’s lips curled. Shortly afterwards, he reached out, and the Energy-devouring Furnace that had already shrunk to the size of a hand appeared in his palm.
“Is it this?” Jian Chen looked at Xia Zhilai with a faint smile.
“The Energy-devouring Furnace! I-i-it’s actually in your possession?” Xia Zhilai’s gaze was immediately drawn away by the Energy-devouring Furnace. His face was filled with surprise.
Before he had come here, he had paid a visit to the city lord’s estate. He brought the will of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment with him, asking Immortal Exalt Tan Yu to return the Energy-devouring Furnace. However, he was told that the Energy-devouring Furnace was not in Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s possession.
Under Xia Zhilai’s probings, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu made no attempt to hide it. He directly told him that the Energy-devouring Furnace had fallen into the hands of the saviour of the Immortal Rising City.
Immortal Exalt Tan Yu did not disclose the saviour’s identity, but that could not stump the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. They carried out a simple investigation. Coupled with the events of the appraisal fair, they locked onto this courtyard very quickly.
In Xia Zhilai’s eyes, the courtyard must have been hiding an extremely powerful Immortal Exalt who could easily kill the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master, which was why he behaved so courteously in the beginning.
The Energy-devouring Furnace must have ended up in the hands of that Immortal Exalt as well.
But right now, the Energy-devouring Furnace was in the possession of someone who claimed to be an Immortal Emperor, whose strength was even beneath his own. That obviously left him stunned.
The current events formed an extremely great contrast against his initial thoughts.
“I don’t just have the Energy-devouring Furnace. I also have this.” As Jian Chen said that, another item appeared in his hand.
It was a chain that glistened brightly, emanating with the ripples in space, giving off the might of a high quality god artifact.
From the moment he accepted the Energy-devouring Furnace from Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, he had agreed to bear the consequences of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. Now that the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment had come knocking, there was obviously no need for Jian Chen to keep hiding. He had to make the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment turn their attention towards him.
“Is that the Heaven-locking Chains? That’s actually in your possession too?” Xia Zhilai was startled at first before becoming overjoyed. He immediately eased up.
His mission for setting out this time was to retrieve the two lost high quality god aritfacts of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. Originally, he thought it would be an extremely difficult mission, one that he would struggle to complete. He had never imagined that he would locate the two god artifacts so quickly.
That took him by surprise and left him overjoyed.
“Fantastic. This is absolutely fantastic. I never thought that both of our lost high quality god artifacts would be with you.” Xia Zhilai bowed deeply towards Jian Chen and said politely, “Fellow, may I ask what your demands are for our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment to exchange these two items from you?”
“You want to take these two high quality god artifacts back?” Jian Chen smiled slightly and said, “Get the ancestors of your Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment to discuss this with me personally.”
When he heard that, Xia Zhilai’s excitement gradually vanished. He furrowed his brows. “Fellow, as a great elder of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, I still have some authority over certain matters. I do have the authority to decide this trifle.”
“The value of these two high quality god artifacts are startling. Even some experts who have broken through to Immortal Exalt recently don’t possess anything that comes close, yet in the eyes of an Immortal Emperor great elder, it’s instead a trifle. Don’t tell me the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment has already become that wealthy?”
Xia Zhilai’s politeness vanished. His voice gradually sank. “From what you’re implying, don’t tell me you want to take a bite out of us and rip us off viciously?”
“I asked you to get the ancestors of your Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment to discuss this with me personally. Otherwise, you can forget about retrieving these two high quality god artifacts.” Jian Chen became slightly impatient. With a wave of his hand, the Energy-devouring Furnace and the Heaven-locking Chains vanished, having been stowed away again.
Xia Zhilai’s expression changed rapidly. The two lost high quality god artifacts of the sect were right in front of him. He was basically tempted to snatch them back immediately.
However, when he recalled the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master’s fates, he had qualms. He did not dare to make trouble here.
The person before him claimed to be just a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor. Xia Zhilai obviously believed him, as he did not believe it was necessary to lie about that.
However, standing behind this person was definitely an extremely powerful Immortal Exalt!
After a series of deliberations, Xia Zhilai suppressed his fury and clasped his fist. “Fellow, since you want the ancestors of our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment to discuss this with you personally, I’ll pass on the message. However, you still have to provide me with an explanation when the ancestors ask me about who you are.”
“I am Yang Yutian. I don’t have a particularly powerful background. I’m only a wanderer who travels the Immortals’ World. Jing Feng, send him off!”
