Chapter 3066: Shrinking Back Knowingly
The Ice Pole Plane, the Heavenly Crane clan.
In an extremely impressive guest room, ancestor Lan personally received a Grand Prime ancestor from the Spirit God clan.
At this very moment, the small old man from the Spirit God clan sat back in a seat carved from high quality warm jade. His face was filled with comfort.
“It’s so cold. It’s really so cold. The Ice Pole Plane is far too cold. If it weren’t for the sake of Jian Chen, I’d never spend so much time in a damned place like this. I really don’t like the climate of the Ice Pole Plane,” the small old man enjoyed the warmth from the jade seat as he grumbled.
To another side, ancestor Lan slowly took her seat. She stared at the small old man before her and said gently, “Does your Spirit God clan really plan on taking Jian Chen in as a son-in-law?”
The small old man looked up and glanced at ancestor Lan. Despite the tremendous disparity in strength, he did not show any fear at all. Instead, he behaved like it was supposed to be. “What else could it be? Haven’t I come all the way here just for that?”
“Since your Spirit God clan plans on having Jian Chen marry into the clan, then does your clan know about Jian Chen’s true identity?”
“True identity?” The old man grinned and said, “He’s been forced into such a sorry state by these people. Even if he actually has some kind of origin, it can’t be too impressive. Anyway, our Spirit God clan will be reserving this son-in-law. If he marries into the Spirit God clan, we’ll shoulder all the troubles he’s stirred up!”
Ancestor Lan let out a gentle sigh and said, “Actually, Jian Chen’s identity is nowhere near as simple as you imagined it to be. With regards to his other identity, only the Icecloud Founding Ancestor and I know about it on the Ice Pole Plane right now. Originally, we planned on keeping it a secret, but now, we have to reveal it to your Spirit God clan first.”
“Oh? Don’t tell me Jian Chen has some kind of impressive background?” The old man sat in the chair lazily without taking this too seriously. After all, he represented the Spirit God clan. Even though the Spirit God clan was on a decline and had lost their title as an archaean clan, they were still a dominant force in the Saints’ World.
Ancestor Lan stared at the old man. She cast down a sound-isolating barrier before saying slowly, “Jian Chen’s other identity is the reincarnation of the Snow Goddess’s younger brother!”
“Oh, he’s just the reincarnation of the Snow Goddess’s younger brother? What’s so impressive about tha-” the old man said without any concern, but as soon as he reached there, he came to a halt. Shortly afterwards, he leapt out of his seat and widened his eyes.
“What did you say? The reincarnation of the Snow Goddess’s younger brother? Jian Chen is t-t-the younger brother of the Snow Goddess’s reincarnation?” The old man was completely stupefied, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
“Ancestor Lan, are you certain Jian Chen is the reincarnation of the Snow Goddess’s younger brother? Y-y-you’re not fooling around with me, are you? I’m not that easy to deceive.” As he spoke, the old man gradually became stern.
“Given the significance of the matter, I would never spout nonsense unless I possessed evidence. Your Spirit God clan should know a little bit about the Snow Goddess’s personality.” Ancestor Lan was completely serious. “And I can reveal another piece of information to your Spirit God clan. The Snow Goddess will formally return to the Ice Pole Plane before long.”
“Oh my goodness! H-h-how is this happening? Jian Chen is a-a-actually the reincarnation of the Snow Goddess’s younger brother.”
The Grand Prime ancestor from the Spirit God clan did not have any doubts about what ancestor Lan said. He knew quite well just what kind of person the Snow Goddess was. If ancestor Lan was bold enough to joke about this, then that would be a great crime.
As a result, the old man immediately became caught between a rock and a hard place after learning about Jian Chen’s identity. He was troubled.
That identity truly was far too outstanding, noble, and special. Just what right did their Spirit God clan possess to make the reincarnation of the Snow Goddess’s younger brother marry into their clan? This was a significant matter that would damage the Snow Goddess’s pride.
Let alone having him marry into the clan, even if their Spirit God clan offered up their most outstanding, most noble daughter, they would still have to consider whether Jian Chen would actually take a liking to her or not.
After all, this was the Snow Goddess’s younger brother. He did not know whether the Snow Goddess would actually recognise him, but that was still his identity after all.
The Snow Goddess was another Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, and behind her was the Ice Goddess whose fate was still unknown!
Even when their Spirit God clan had the Overarching Heaven Grand Exalt’s support, they dared not offend the Ice Goddess Hall.
“Oh my goodness. I’ve been careless, I’ve been careless. I didn’t think my friend Jian Chen would be- Looks like it’s fated for my visit to be in vain. Ancestor Lan, thank you for telling me about this. Otherwise, I probably would have caused a great deal of trouble for the clan.” The old man immediately clasped his fist towards ancestor Lan. He was grateful.
“You’re welcome. However, please do keep Jian Chen’s identity a secret!” ancestor Lan said. She also felt extremely powerfless inside.
The Spirit God clan was mighty and influential, such that the Heavenly Crane clan could not afford to offend them, yet Jian Chen could not be married into their clan either. In order to deal with the Spirit God clan, she had no choice but to divulge Jian Chen’s identity so that the Spirit God clan would realise what they were dealing with and shrink back knowingly.
The people from the Spirit God clan had left. After learning that Jian Chen was the Snow Goddess’s younger brother, they immediately gave up on all of their hopes and wishes involving him.
On the Delight Plane, the Rain Abbess returned to the Cloudsurge Empire and told Mo Tianyun about everything that had happened on the Ice Pole Plane.
A smile immediately appeared on Mo Tianyun’s face. “The Spirit God clan sure has lent quite a bit of help. If it weren’t for them, you’d probably have to take action.”
The Rain Abbess was unfazed. She did not care about anything that happened on the Ice Pole Plane. “When are we going to the Xuanhuang Microcosm?”
As soon as that was mentioned, Mo Tianyun’s smile gradually vanished. He became stern and said, “The level of this Xuanhuang Microcosm is quite high. Based on my initial estimates, there should be Grand Prime Xuanhuang beasts. The laws and ways in there are different from the six worlds too. Once we enter, our strength will be severely suppressed, so before we set off, we need to make ample preparations.”
The Rain Abbess nodded. “If that’s the case, I’ll refine a World of Laws. The World of Laws has its own three thousand ways. Even though they’re not of particularly high level, at least we can use some laws with that, so we won’t have too difficult of a time when we face the Xuanhuang beasts.”
“You even know how to refine Worlds of Laws?” Mo Tianyun looked over at the Rain Abbess in surprise.
Ignoring the Empyrean Demon Lord’s surprise, the Rain Abbess continued, “If we combine the forces of my Cloudsurge Empire and your Empyrean Demon Cult, we should be able to assemble the various materials required for refining a World of Laws.”
