Chapter 2386: Jun Kong’s Transformation
After confirming that there was nothing she could do to revert the situation, the hall elder of the God clan charged off into outer space with Audriana, leaving the Desolate Plane.
Across the vast Desolate Plane, none of the peak experts knew that Jian Chen had already left silently, having taken a teleportation formation right under their watch.
When the unkempt old man activated the teleportation formation that he watched over, no one on the entire plane had sensed it, including the important members of the Violet Wind Empire.
Even the soldiers who guarded the teleportation formation’s surroundings were no exception.
From when the unkempt old man struck a deal to when Jian Chen left the Desolate Plane, the minds of all the soldiers had blanked out. Only when Jian Chen left and the teleportation formation settled down did they recover.
The peak experts hovered above the huge pit in the central region of the Desolate Plane. All their hearts weighed heavily; they did not know how to handle the flesh and blood they had collected.
“I’ve collected quite a lot of this Ancient Great Ape’s flesh and blood. Since I don’t know what to do with it, I might as well hand it all up to master and let master decide,” Tu San thought. As soon as he remembered that he had the support of the Heaven-splitting Ancestor, someone only a step away from Grand Exalt, he became much more composed.
Based on his thoughts, the person behind destroying the Bloodtear Grand Exalt’s arrangements was Jian Chen. He only took part in the fight for a portion of the blood and flesh. Even if the Bloodtear Grand Exalt decided to investigate, he would not hold much blame. With his master’s status, he only needed to negotiate with the Bloodtear Grand Exalt, and it should all be resolved easily.
“The Bloodtear Grand Exalt left soon after he came. He must have known that it was Jian Chen who destroyed his arrangements. Jian Chen is difficult for us to find, but no matter how skilled he is, he cannot hide from the Bloodtear Grand Exalt,” thought Tu San. The light in his eyes flickered for a while before he decided to give up on the search for Jian Chen. He returned to the Heaven-splitting clan.
He needed to report to the events that happened on the Desolate Plane to the Heaven-splitting Ancestor. He also needed to hand over the flesh and blood he had collected immediately.
On the Loneheaven Plane, one of the four famed heavenly kings of the Loneheaven Plane, the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance, sat on the peak of the Azure Brilliance Mountain.
He had already assumed his human form. His wore azure robes, and his face was sunken. Cold light flickered through his frigid eyes.
At this moment, the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance coughed gently. With that, droplets of blood flew out from his throat.
His originally pale face became even paler.
“Celestial Sword Saint, I will have my revenge one day. I will return it a thousand fold. You better not let me find the opportunity…” The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance growled as killing intent surged in his eyes, almost condensing into something tangible.
His resentment and urge to kill the Celestial Sword Saint could no longer climb any higher.
“Heavenly king, we have already found Jian Chen’s origins…” At this moment, a voice rang out from below the Azure Brilliance Mountain. It was filled with respect.
The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance suddenly vanished. He appeared before a burly, middle-aged man like he had teleported as a bloodthirsty light flickered in his eyes. He said coldly, ‘Speak!”
“Yes, heavenly king!” The burly man lowered his head and said politely, “I’ve undertaken a detailed investigation and have confirmed that Jian Chen comes from the Cloud Plane. He has established a clan in a remote location in the southern region. They’re called the Tian Yuan clan.”
“The Cloud Plane! The Tian Yuan clan!” The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance smiled darkly as he said with killing intent, “Very good, very good. I’ve finally found out your origins. I’ll go and destroy the Tian Yuan clan right now!”
“Heavenly king, the Tian Yuan clan is only an unimportant clan. There’s no need for the heavenly king to personally take action for a small matter like this. Leave it to us.” The burly man smiled in an attempt to suck up.
“No!” The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance called out, “I want to personally take action against the Tian Yuan clan!”
The Azure Peng King was known for holding onto grudges in the Saints’ World. He would take revenge for the slightest grievances. No matter how weak someone was, they would face his revenge once they offended him.
Moreover, during the years he spent hunting down Jian Chen, he had suffered greatly several times, so his killing intent towards Jian Chen became even more powerful. Even the Tian Yuan clan behind Jian Chen had become a target for his destruction.
With a flash of azure light, the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance vanished. He had left the Loneheaven Plane with indescribable speed, heading towards the Cloud Plane.
Within a majestic divine hall in the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound on the Skyfire Plane, a middle-aged man who seemed to be in his forties sat with a woman. They gave off tremendous pressures.
They were two of the four ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound, Lian Qi and Gu Na. They were both Chaotic Primes.
Below Lian Qi and Gu Na stood a man and woman side by side. They stood slightly bowed.
The woman wore purple clothes and possessed supreme beauty. Her dark pupils seemed to hold a certain type of charm, enough to enchant people and suck away souls with a single glance.
The woman was Shangguan Mu;er.
The young man beside Shangguan Mu’er was the Daoist Sect of Divine Sounds proudest prodigy, Jun Kong.
Jun Kong was still extremely handsome and possessed a graceful bearing. He was a rare, handsome man within the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound, stealing the hearts of countless female disciples.
However, his complexion was unnaturally pale. He seemed rather frail.
Back in the Neptunean Divine Palace, Jun Kong had been devastated and beaten to a pulp by Ming Dong. His injuries were so severe that he almost had to abandon his body.
However, as Jun Kong possessed quite the status in the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound, his master, Lian Qi of the four ancestors, had used many medicines and heavenly resources regardless of the price to heal him.
However, he had only recovered to eighty percent.
The most surprising thing was that after what he went through in the Neptunean Divine Palace, Jun Kong seemed to witness life and death. After rising and falling, he underwent a huge metamorphosis. He seemed to comprehend the Concept of Life and Death.
The Concept of Life and Death was not a part of the laws of the world. Instead, it was one of the three ultimate concepts recorded within the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound.
The three ultimate concepts had been created by the peak expert of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound, the Third Ancestor, during their most glorious time. They were the Heart of the Demonic and Divine, the Heart of Life and Death, and the Heart of the Myriad.
No one had managed to comprehend the three great concepts after the Third Ancestor.
Now that Jun Kong had undergone a great upheaval, his mind transformed, and he seemed to comprehend the Heart of Life and Death out of the three great concepts. As a result, the four ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sect placed great focus on him, basically shielding him like a treasure.
“Mu’er, the artifact spirit of the Zither of the Demonic Cry has already awakened. You must have received the true inheritance of the Two Tunes of the Demonic and Divine. However, if you want to grasp the Two Tunes of the Demonic and Divine created by the Third Ancestor in the past, just the legacy alone is nowhere enough. You need to comprehend the Concept of the Demonic and Divine and understand the Heart of the Demonic and Divine. Only then will you be able to truly unleash the power of the Two Tunes of the Demonic and Divine.”
“Jun Kong, you only seem to have touched on the boundary with your Concept of Life and Death. You still need some time before you fully grasp it.”
“Whether it’s the Heart of the Demonic and Divine or the Heart of Life and Death, they’re both a part of the three ultimate concepts created by the Third Ancestor. As a result, we have decided to take the two of you to where the Third Ancestor cultivated in the past. Under the influence of the Third Ancestor’s presence, some incomplete concepts have lingered around. We hope that cultivating there will assist you in comprehending the concepts.”
“The two of you are the future of our Daoist Sect of Divine Sound. Whether we can stand at the apex of the Saints’ World and become the greatest organisation on the Skyfire Plane will be up to the two of you…”
Lian Qi of the four ancestors said to Shangguan Mu’er and Jun Kong sternly.
