Chapter 2415: Kai Ya in Love
Back on the Cloud Plane, fairy Hao Yue had become especially powerful after she recovered. She had killed her way into the Empyrean Demon Cult alone. Even when the three vice-leaders worked together, they could do nothing to her. In the end, she punched a hole through the headquarters of the Empyrean Demon Cult and basically swaggered out.
Now, after so many years, fairy Hao Yue had probably become a Chaotic Prime.
“Nan Potian of the Moon God Hall was a peak Chaotic Prime already many years ago. I wonder if he has broken through to Grand Prime now. However, even if Nan Potian hasn’t broken through, it’s impossible for fairy Hao Yue to be his opponent. I hope fairy Hao Yue is safe,” Jian Chen thought as he worried for her safety.
However, he also understood that he himself was in trouble right now and would not necessarily survive. He was currently being chased by a mysterious expert, so he was in no shape to help fairy Hao Yue.
“I can only hurry to the Prosper Plane as quickly as I can. As long as I personally return the Anatta Tower to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, the merit will be very great. Not only will I be able to exchange for a large amount of cultivation resources for my sister, but I’ll also be able to spare the effort to help out fairy Hao Yue. With the strength of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, settling the Moon God Hall’s problems is only a matter of a single sentence.” Jian Chen became eager. He wanted to reach the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng immediately.
At this moment, Jian Chen flipped his hand, and a single talisman appeared in his hands.
“Is this a Cosmic Movement Talisman?” Jian Chen’s eyes lit up as he stared at it.
He had obtained several Cosmic Movement Talismans from the Grand Prime’s Space Ring back in the Neptunean Divine Palace.
Those Cosmic Movement Talismans were of extremely high quality. They could transport people incredibly far away. Once they were activated, it was even possible to escape from regular Grand Primes.
Now that he had found a talisman that was basically the same as them, Jian Chen immediately rejoiced.
The mysterious expert pursuing them could find his position in the sea of stars with precision through a wondrous secret technique. Jian Chen could not shake him off no matter how he tried. The appearance of the Cosmic Movement Talisman was basically giving him exactly what he needed when he needed it the most.
“No, this Cosmic Movement Talisman is of a very low quality. It can’t be compared to the ones I obtained from the Neptunean Divine Palace.” However, very soon, Jian Chen sighed in disappointment.
The quality of the Cosmic Movement Talisman was insufficient. Let alone the fact that it could not transport them very far away, even when he activated it, it was extremely likely for foreign powers to interfere with it, causing it to fail.
As a result, he might have been able to escape from some Chaotic Primes with the Cosmic Movement Talisman, but it would be far too difficult to escape from Grand Primes using it.
“Jian Chen, he’s catching up,” Kai Ya warned at this moment.
With that, Jian Chen stowed the Cosmic Movement Talisman away and ripped open space, returning to the Saints’ World.
Very soon, this flight and pursuit had already lasted for half a year. In order to avoid the Elder of Mountains and Seas, Jian Chen alternated between the Saints’ World and the spatial cracks, maintaining a certain distance from the Elder of Mountains and Seas the entire time, avoiding the range of the senses of his soul.
During this time, the Elder of Mountains and Seas had used hastening secret techniques several times to lock onto Jian Chen with the senses of his soul. Unfortunately, Jian Chen had Kai Ya. Kai Ya’s senses were unimaginably powerful, locating the Elder of Mountains and Seas precisely. She would always be able to remind Jian Chen before his arrival, which caused the Elder of Mountains and Seas much anger.
“Jian Chen, even if you flee to the ends of the world, you won’t be able to escape from me,” the Elder of Mountains and Seas roared out furiously from behind. He had gradually become impatient after half a year of pursuit. He became agitated.
The longer he took, the worse it would be for him. Once other experts received the news, all of this would end up as wasted effort.
“There are two more days until we arrive on the Star Brilliance Plane.”
A small spaceship tore through the dark outer space, moving with great speeds.
Jian Chen looked at his star chart inside the spaceship and finally became relieved. Once they reached the Star Brilliance Plane, they could just leave through a teleportation formation. By then, even Grand Primes would not be able to catch up to him.
Teleportation formations across planes were faster than almost all Grand Primes.
Jian Chen felt extremely fortunate along the way, as the location when he returned to the Saints’ World through a spatial crack would be unstable. Shifts were commonplace. They could even be taken to forbidden regions in space.
These forbidden regions of space were places where space beast sovereigns resided. Even many Grand Primes would not have the courage to venture into such places.
However, he had not experienced too great of a shift every time he returned to the Saints’ World from the spatial cracks. He remained in the surroundings of the Star Brilliance Plane, and the shifts even allowed his smaller spaceship to reach the Star Brilliance Plane a few years earlier than the larger spatial battleship from the Jadefluid Plane.
“The Star Brilliance Plane is right ahead,” said Jian Chen. He felt a sense of relief. He could clearly see the tremendous plane of land that belonged to the Star Brilliance Plane.
Due to being too far away, the Star Brilliance Plane was only the size of a fingernail to Jian Chen right now. It was like a piece of earth, floating quietly in outer space without moving at all.
The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance could cross this distance in a single moment, but Jian Chen needed two days.
Looking at the Star Brilliance Plane up ahead, Kai Ya, who stood beside Jian Chen, did not seem to lighten up at all. Instead, it seemed like something was weighing on her mind.
This was because she experienced an intense sense of threat during this entire half a year. The threat was so great that she felt like she was facing the heavens, where there was nowhere she could hide. The only thing she could do was wait for its arrival and accept it.
At this moment, Kai Ya suddenly looked at Jian Chen. The light in her eyes flickered as she hesitated.
It was as if there was something she wanted to say to Jian Chen, but she struggled to open her mouth about it.
“Kai Ya, what’s the matter?” Jian Chen was an Infinite Prime now. He was so powerful that even though he placed all his attention on the Star Brilliance Plane, he still sensed that there was something off with Kai Ya.
Kai Ya turned away and looked at the Star Brilliance Plane as if she was avoiding Jian Chen’s gaze. After a while of silence, she finally worked up the courage and said softly, “Jian Chen, there’s something I’ve actually always wanted to ask you, but I never dared to. Originally, I planned on burying it in my heart without anyone knowing, but I have an intense feeling that if I don’t say it now, I might not get a chance to in the future.”
Jian Chen was surprised when he heard that. He glanced at Kai Ya deeply and remained silent.
He was not dim. He could clearly tell what Kai Ya was trying to say from her tone and expression.
Kai Ya had clearly fallen in love with him.
This troubled Jian Chen. He actually had no idea how to handle this situation.
Kai Ya was born in the sea realm in the lower world. Jian Chen could still clearly remember the first time he met Kai Ya. Back then, he and Nubis sought refuge in the sea realm to avoid the many experts of the Beast God Continent.
Back then, Kai Ya was the daughter of a patriarch of a tribe within the sea realm. They had been brought together through some crystal coins, which led to everything else that followed.
Afterwards, he obtained the Octoterra Emperor’s cultivation method and passed it to Kai Ya, but unexpectedly, it caused the destruction of Kai Ya’s tribe. The entire tribe was exterminated, forcing Kai Ya to flee into a danger zone of the sea realm to survive.
Many years later, when Kai Ya emerged from the zone of danger, not only did her strength increase drastically, but she had even tamed a true divine beast, the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast. As a result, she stood at the apex of the Tian Yuan Continent. Afterwards, she was heavily injured in the war against the World of Forsaken Saints and was unconscious ever since.
In order to heal Kai Ya, he brought her to the Saints’ World and only managed to save her after strenuous effort.
Jian Chen admitted that he had gone to great lengths to awaken Kai Ya, even risking his life to venture into the Yin Mountains of Sevens Despair just to look for heavenly resources that could heal the soul.
Although he had done a lot for Kai Ya, he only treated her as his best friend. He felt no attraction towards her.
He had never expected Kai Ya to actually fall in love with him.
