Chapter 2941: Fated Place of Belonging
Fang Jing was extremely confident about the four brothers’ origins. She looked at the four brothers like she was marvelling at an extremely rare treasure.
However, the four brothers were unable to accept this. They widened their eyes at the same time, their faces filled with disbelief, “Elder princess, you said the four of us are strands of sword Qi produced by a supreme figure? No, that’s impossible. We’ve been born with a mortal body of flash. We all have parents, so how can we be sword Qi?”
“Yes and no. You’ll understand one day. But from today onwards, you don’t have to return to the Saints’ World. The Saints’ World is littered with experts and as your strength increases, the level which you come into contact with will climb higher and higher. The people you meet will be stronger and stronger too. Once you appear before certain supreme experts, you’ll be in trouble.”
“All of these supreme experts possess exceptional ability. They’ll be able to see through you in a single glance, and you’re related to the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt, so they definitely won’t spare you.”
Fang Jing said earnestly and instructed them seriously. Clearly, she did not want the four of them to think too much about their identities, or more accurately, she did not care whether the four brothers believed her or not. The reason why she told them this was purely because of the fact that they came from the same world.
On top of that, it was out of some admiration towards the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt.
“Elder princess, wouldn’t that mean we’ll have to stay here forever?” A’Er frowned.
“You only have to stay here for now. Once my cultivation recovers and I recall the Dominion’s Brush that’s fallen in the space beyond the worlds, I’ll be able to take you back to the Immortals’ World,” said Fang Jing.
“The space beyond the worlds? What kind of place is that?” The four brothers were both mystified and curious. They heard the elder princess mention a lot of high-level information they had never been in contact with.
Perhaps because of their origins, Fang Jing was extremely friendly towards the four of them. She basically answered all of their questions, explaining patiently, “The space beyond the worlds is the space outside the major worlds, as well as a part of chaotic space. Only sovereigns of the world who’ve grasped a complete way or experts who wield supreme treasures on the same level can set foot there.”
“As a result, I can only take you away from here, pass through the space beyond the worlds and return to the Immortals’ World once I recall the Dominion’s Brush.”
The four brothers hesitated. They all thought of Jian Chen at the same time, nor did they forget about the place called the Cloud Plane in the Saints’ World where they could find the Tian Yuan clan established by Jian Chen.
The four brothers had no friends in the Saints’ World, but they did have quite a few acquaintances who ascended to the Saints’ World from the Tian Yuan Continent below. They were all gathered in the Tian Yuan clan too.
Originally, the four brothers planned on settling down in the Tian Yuan clan on the Cloud Plane once they left the Spirits’ World. There were many acquaintances from the same world there after all. It was the only place that the four of them could think of and wanted to go to so far.
But in the end, they were told that not only were they unable to leave the Spirits’ World, they even had to follow an unfamiliar expert to an unfamiliar world, which obviously left the four brothers rather conflicted.
Perhaps because she had read their thoughts, Fang Jing continued, “If you remain in the Saints’ World, the only fate awaiting you in the end is death. The Immortals’ World is the only place you can go, as well as your place of belonging.”
“The four divine swords of the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt have always remained in the Immortals’ World. The four divine swords turned into four mountains and formed a terrifying sword formation, which no one in the Immortals’ World can touch. Since the four of you originate from sword Qi of the four divine swords, it’ll definitely be quite the opportunity if you go.”
“Then can the four of us wield the four divine swords?” A’San stared at Fang Jing excitedly.
Fang Jing broke into laughter. Her gaze towards A’San was filled with undisguised ridicule, “Just you? And you think you can wield the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt’s four divine swords? You probably still haven’t even truly understood what kind of connection exists between you and the four divine swords.”
“Listen up. The four of you only originate from strands of sword Qi. You can say the sword Qi was left behind by the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt, and you can also say the sword Qi was left behind by the four divine swords. As a result, the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt and the four divine swords can be regarded as your masters, relatively speaking. Before the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt of the four divine swords, you can only be regarded as slaves.”
Fang Jing paused, as if she felt it was rather inappropriate to call them slaves, so she corrected, “Perhaps attendants of the swords would be a little more appropriate.”
“Since that’s the case, what’s the point of returning and becoming slaves?” A’San was very disappointed.
“Because the sword spirits of the four divine swords still remain and they’re still in their peak condition. If you go to the Immortals’ World, you’ll obviously receive the four divine swords’ protection. Do you have any idea just how many immortals there are in the Immortals’ World who are willing to become slaves just so they had such a lofty existence they could rely on, only to never find an opportunity?” Fang Jing laughed.
“Elder princess, have you seen the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt before?” A’Da asked.
Fang Jing shook her head, “The Nirvanic Immortal Exalt passed away far, far too long ago. I wasn’t even born back then. I might not have seen the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt before, but I do know a lot about the many legends and deeds regarding him.”
As soon as she reached there, Fang Jing’s eyes narrowed and she immediately growled, “An expert’s here! Hush!”
The four brothers changed in expression and immediately stopped talking.
As for Fang Jing, she shut her eyes and sat down, circulating the power of laws carefully and doing all that she could to hide this place.
Lei Yun passed by at a leisurely pace outside the spatial crack. The powerful senses of his soul radiated out at full strength, closely checking every single inch of space.
Only after thirty whole minutes did Lei Yun gradually travel off into the distance. He did not discover the ruined continent hidden within the spatial crack.
However, this fact did not cheer up Fang Jing. She became stern and murmured to herself, “This place will be discovered sooner or later. Looks like we can’t stay here for too long.” Fan Jing looked at the vestige of the Grand Exalt nearby and with a flash, she had already entered it.
As for the four brothers, they did not set foot in there. They obviously knew an opportunity was hiding inside, but they also knew how to behave. They obviously would not contend against Fang Jing for it.
Fang Jing did not remain in there for long. She emerged very quickly and shook her head and sighed, “This place was clearly left behind before the Immortals’ World had shattered. Far, far too much time has passed already, Many of the items inside have already been eroded away by time. Although there is an indestructible legacy, this legacy can only be obtained by those destined to receive it.”
“The legacy of a Grand Exalt cannot be seized through force.”
“We’re going to go outside, but the Burial Zone is very dangerous right now. Many experts are searching for traces of the Origin of Ways. You still haven’t completely refined the Origin of Ways you’ve absorbed, so there will be a trace on you no matter what. It’ll be very difficult to fool these experts, so once we go outside, you must be careful,” Fang Jing instructed sternly.
“We’re willing to go with you, senior!” The four brothers said immediately. They knew their limitations. There were many Primordial realm experts outside, so with just their measly Godking cultivation, it would be very difficult for them to protect themselves.
After all, it was different from the past right now. Once the news that the four of them possessed the Origin of Ways, they would immediately become the targets of the Primordial realm experts.
By then, they would not just be facing off against an Infinite Prime, but a great group of Infinite Primes and Chaotic Primes.
Fang Jing shook her head, “There’ll definitely be supreme experts watching this place this time. I haven’t fully recovered yet, so even I’m not confident on retreating unscathed before experts like that. As a result, I won’t be able to protect you for now. If you want to follow me, you’ll be dragged into the mess instead.”
