Chapter 2430: The First Majesty
The grand Heavenly Palace of Bisheng was extremely quiet inside. Jian Chen followed the divine general through the structure. He felt like the laws of the world here were as vast as the ocean.
It was as if the entire Heavenly Palace of Bisheng was forged from the ways of the world, and everything he saw there hid the truths of the world. They contained endless mysteries as if they were created by nature itself.
“It really is a peak god artifact in the world.” Jian Chen was secretly amazed as he studied the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.
He had already heard that the Anatta Grand Exalt had a total of three treasures. They were the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, the Anatta Tower, and the Fortune Jade Pedestal. The Heavenly Palace of Bisheng standing before him right now was a treasure at the same level as the Anatta Tower.
However, the Anatta Tower was damaged, and it had been sealed up by the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt’s sword Qi. It no longer possessed the might that a peak god artifact should possess. As a result, the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng invoked far more shock in Jian Chen’s heart.
“Sir, Jian Chen has been brought over,” said the divine general respectfully. He stopped within a majestic hall within the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng before speaking to the empty hall.
“You are dismissed.” An obscure voice rang out from the empty hall. It sounded like an old man who was brimming with energy.
“Yes, sir!” The divine general bowed politely before backing away.
Jian Chen clutched the Anatta Tower as he stood there calmly. He looked around, but he did not see a single person.
“Are you that Jian Chen who ran amuck through the entire world with master’s treasure?” The old voice rang out once again. However, it was no longer obscure this time. Instead, it rang out from behind Jian Chen.
Jian Chen was startled. He immediately looked back. A white-robed old man had appeared behind him at a certain time.
The old man was completely snow-white. His gaze was profound, seemingly possessing the power of galaxies. He did seem slightly sage-like. He had appeared behind Jian Chen silently. Even with Jian Chen’s current strength, he was unable to sense the old man’s existence.
When his soul swept over, he found nothing as well; it was like the old man’s existence could only be found by sight. All other senses were useless.
“Stop searching. You’re too weak, so it’s impossible for you to sense my existence. Become a Grand Prime first if you want to do that,” said the old man rather proudly as he stroked his long beard.
“Senior, you are?” Jian Chen clasped his fist and asked cautiously.
“I am Bisheng, the hall spirit of this divine hall,” said the old man.
“So it’s senior Bisheng. Greetings from junior Jian Chen…” Jian Chen clasped his fist. He glanced at Bisheng before looking at the Anatta Tower in his hand. He hesitated.
He had come here to return the Anatta Tower, but in the end, he only met was an artifact spirit. He was obviously rather unwilling to hand over something as important as the Anatta Tower to an artifact spirit.
Perhaps he saw Jian Chen’s hesitance, but Bisheng snorted gently and waved his hand. With his back to Jian Chen, he said rather proudly, “Aside from master and the few majesties, I hold the greatest authority in the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. If you have any demands, just tell me.”
“Senior Bisheng, I wish to see the first majesty.” Jian Chen clasped his fist. The renown of the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng was as prominent as thunder to his ears. She was a supreme expert who stood at the very peak of the Saints’ World, an existence only second to Grand Exalts. Since he was going to return the Anatta Tower, he needed to hand it to the first majesty.
The first majesty was the one in charge within the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. She could command everyone and was a peak expert who stunned the entire Saints’ World.
“Brat, although it’s quite the merit for you to return master’s treasure, who do you think the first majesty is? Is she someone you can see just because you want to?” Bisheng said with displeasure.
“If I don’t see the first majesty, I won’t return the Anatta Tower,” Jian Chen said firmly. He did not back away. Although he was within the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng right now, where his life was in someone else’s hands, he did not worry at all.
The Heavenly Palace of Bisheng was a peak organisation in the Saints’ World. The more colossal they were, the more they cared about their pride. The Heavenly Palace of Bisheng definitely had no reason to trouble him now that he had come to return the Anatta Tower after so many difficulties.
“Kid, I’ve already shown you enough respect by receiving you personally. Don’t demand for more than what you deserve.” Bisheng frowned. He felt like he was being underestimated.
“Bisheng, you can go.” At this moment, a pleasant but cold voice rang out. A woman slowly walked over from the other side of the hall.
The woman gave off the presence of the ways, and she was shrouded by a dazzling light. Only a hazy figure was visible from the outside.
Jian Chen’s heart immediately shuddered when he saw the woman. He was able to recognise with a single glance that the woman shrouded in light was the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, Yi Xin.
His soul had once fused with the clone of the Samsaric Immortal Exalt in the Neptunean Divine Palace and clashed with the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng from the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s point of view.
At that time, he had been deeply stunned by the first majesty’s strength.
The Neptunean Divine Palace was a high grade god artifact. Its defences were astonishing, but even with its many powerful formations, it had not been able to stop the first majesty. She used an extremely short amount of time to get through the formations and infiltrate the interior, dispersing the Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s clone.
Although it was only a clone of the Samsaric Immortal Exalt, possessing strength nowhere close to the original body, it was still a Grand Exalt’s clone after all. All of this demonstrated the terrifying strength the first majesty possessed.
As a result, Jian Chen felt his heart tighten as he faced the first majesty. After all, the person before him was only a step away from becoming a Grand Exalt.
As long as she took that step, she would become a sovereign of the world.
“This tower is master’s treasure. Originally, it was lost in a lower world, so it was impossible to peer into its location. It would have been extremely difficult to search for it. You’ve done the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng a great service by bringing the tower here. Tell me, what do you want?” said the first majesty. She slowly raised her slender hand, and with a casual gesture, the Anatta Tower in Jian Chen’s hand landed on hers.
Jian Chen was unable to stop the Anatta Tower’s departure at all!
“May I ask what I can exchange the merit for?” Jian Chen asked.
Yi Xin held the Anatta Tower in her hand and studied it carefully. It was like she was looking at the sword slashes on there. She said leisurely, “Various peak cultivation methods, ancient secret techniques, heavenly resources, and cultivation resources. As long as you can mention it, our Heavenly Palace of Bisheng will be able to give it to you. If you want to, you can even use some of your merit to join our Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, or even move your clan to the Prosper Plane to be placed under our protection…”
It had to be mentioned that the conditions Yi Xin offered were extremely tempting. The last condition she offered was even enough to drive a few peak organisations insane.
So many peak experts did everything that they could to find the Anatta Tower on the Desolate Plane because they wanted to return the Anatta Tower to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng and use the merit of their service to benefit their clans.
Conflict was omnipresent in the Saints’ World. Everlasting empires were not truly everlasting, while peak clans could also face destruction. Even Grand Primes could die.
Only by joining one of the greatest organisations in the Saints’ World and receiving their protection would they be able to ensure that their clan would continue to exist, without any worries about other enemies.
This was why all the peak experts fought over the Anatta Tower.
“I want the first majesty to kill someone for me,” Jian Chen said with killing intent.
“Kill someone?” Yi Xin was surprised.
“That’s right, a Grand Prime.” Jian Chen slid his finger through the air, and a strand of sword Qi shot out. He used it to depict the Elder of Mountains and Seas.
He wanted to avenge Kai Ya, but the Elder of Mountains and Seas was so powerful that even if he fused the twin swords, he was not completely confident about killing the Elder of Mountains and Seas. Moreover, he would end up exposing himself. As a result, it would be best if he did not expose the twin swords. The safest method was to ask the first majesty to take action.
With the first majesty’s strength, killing the Elder of Mountains and Seas was a piece of cake.
