Chapter 2429: Returning the Anatta Tower
Afterwards, the doubtful Qing Yixuan headed to the southern region through a teleportation formation under Hu Wei’s enthusiastic and warm treatment.
At the same time, on the distant Prosper Plane, Jian Chen stood beneath the Godkings’ Throne and stared at Qing Yixuan’s name quietly as it rose to nine hundred and fortieth. He sank into his thoughts.
He understood that from the moment she received Swordmaster Yun Chi’s legacy, she had begun to rise up.
Although he had no idea just how great her future accomplishments would be, it would definitely be more than this.
Dismissing his thoughts, Jian Chen no longer paid any more attention to the Godkings’ Throne. He turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
If it were not for what happened on the Star Brilliance Plane and Kai Ya was still present, he might have been happy for Qing Yixuan. However, all he felt was fury and hatred now. He could not lighten up at all.
Jian Chen was in no hurry to go to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng located in the central region of the Prosper Plane. First, he rented an estate within the bustling city.
The estate was quite large, and it was covered with formations, making it extremely tough. Jian Chen had only managed to rent it with five-colored divine crystals.
A secret room deep underground was located in the estate. Jian Chen activated all the formations in the estate and sat down in the underground room.
The damaged Anatta Tower appeared before him quietly. The sword slashes on there stood out.
Jian Chen just sat there, staring at the Anatta Tower.
The Anatta Tower had come from the sea realm in the world of the Tian Yuan Continent. He had faced many disasters along the way, and quite a few of them had been blocked by the Anatta Tower.
In other words, he definitely would not be here today if it were not for the Anatta Tower.
As a result, he felt some attachment to the Anatta Tower.
But now, the Anatta Tower was about to leave him.
However, Jian Chen was not reluctant to part with it. The Anatta Tower was powerful, but it was already damaged and extremely difficult to refine. It would be impossible for him to unleash its full power. As his strength increased in the future, the assistance the Anatta Tower could provide would only reduce.
Moreover, the Anatta Tower was an object of desire, eyed by all people. It had caused him quite a few problems in the past few years. As a matter of fact, Kai Ya had died because of it.
This was why he felt no reluctance in returning the Anatta Tower to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.
“The most precious thing about the Anatta Tower is the slashes on it. These slashes were left behind by the greatest expert of the Immortals’ World in the past, the Nirvanic Sword Immortal. Every single slash contains the will of a Sword God. If I could just comprehend a sliver of it, I would definitely benefit,” thought Jian Chen. He stared at the sword slashes on it for a while before entering the Anatta Tower with a flash.
The Anatta Tower had a total of nine floors. The nine floors were like nine worlds. However, each world was damaged. A strand of sword Qi several tens of thousand metres long hovered at the end of each world, within the shattered space, preventing the nine worlds from automatically healing.
Jian Chen arrived at the edge of the world on the first floor. Before him was dark nothingness. It was the destroyed world.
He sat down and closed his eyes, beginning an attempt to comprehend the sword Qi left there by the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt.
In the past, he was unable to comprehend these strands of sword Qi at all due to his limited strength and cultivation, but he was already a Sword Immortal now, a Primordial realm expert. The Anatta Tower was about to leave him, so he wanted to try one last time.
However, very soon, Jian Chen’s body shook, and his face became rather pale. He opened his eyes, and he stared at the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt’s sword Qi with mixed feelings. He sighed powerlessly.
The Nirvanic Immortal Exalt was just too powerful. As soon as Jian Chen tried to comprehend it, he felt the sword Qi spring to life and stab into his soul, causing splitting pain in his head. It was like his soul was being torn to pieces.
“It still doesn’t work. I probably need to reach Sword Sage at the very least to comprehend this strand of sword Qi. After all, these strands of sword Qi left behind by the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt in the past were all used for suppression and killing. Every single strand contains extremely great offensive power. They’re nowhere near as gentle as imprints used to pass on laws.” Jian Chen felt great pity. He had only broken through to Sword Immortal recently, so he was just too far away from Sword Sage.
Afterwards, he arrived on the ninth floor and stowed the fortune jade away. In the end, he left with the empty Anatta Tower, arriving in the central region of the Prosper Plane through a teleportation formation.
The central region was where the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng stood.
The Heavenly Palace of Bisheng held supreme authority on the Prosper Plane. No one dared to defy them. They all held the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng in supreme regard.
Jian Chen arrived before the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng on this day. From a distance, he could see a familiar, golden hall.
The hall stood there silently like it reached towards the sky. A majestic might made all the ways of the world seem to revolve around it. As a result, the divine hall seemed like the only existence in the world.
“Is this the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng? It’s exactly the same as the projection of the divine hall I saw on the ninth floor in the past.” Jian Chen felt extremely shocked as he looked at the majestic divine hall up ahead. He was a Primordial realm expert, so his senses were extremely great. Not only did he feel insignificant as he stood before the divine hall, but he also discovered to his surprise that as he rapidly approached the divine hall, his grasp and ability to sense the Way of the Sword became weaker and weaker.
It was as if the existence of the divine hall had suppressed all the ways, where no cultivator could use the ways they comprehended as they wished before it.
“State your identity!” At this moment, a divine general in golden armor appeared before Jian Chen silently, blocking his path.
The divine general was a Godking, but his presence was so powerful that it was no weaker than the supreme Godkings from the Godkings’ Throne.
The Heavenly Palace of Bisheng was one of the most powerful organisations in the Saints’ World. Who knows how many experts wanted to join the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng in the Saints’ World. Even if they became a divine general, it would be a great honour.
As a result, every single divine general of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng would be picked from countless prodigies. Every single one of them possessed extremely great battle prowess. Coupled with the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng’s nurturing, they could claim to be invincible among the same level of cultivation.
“I’ve come to return the Anatta Tower.” Jian Chen directly took out the Anatta Tower.
The eyes of the divine general immediately narrowed when he saw the Anatta Tower in Jian Chen’s hands. He glanced at Jian Chen deeply and said, “Come with me. I’ll take you to sir Bisheng.”
