Chapter 3186: The Continent Fragment
Gazing at the fragment of a continent before him, Jian Chen’s expression changed as well. With his insight, he could also tell the content fragment originated from a higher world.
There was an intrinsic difference between higher worlds and lower worlds. Anything from a higher world, even a mere speck of dust, completely exceeded the lower world.
Not only was the energy of higher worlds at a higher level, their laws of the world were much more complete, so anything produced under this environment possessed a colossal gulf when compared to items of the lower world.
Every single brick and tile, every single pebble and grain of sand, was extremely tough compared to the lower world. It might even be indestructible.
Only a large world like the Saints’ World could produce such high-level materials.
“This continent fragment isn’t from the Saints’ World, as a great difference exists in the quality of the energy. And from the traces on there, it’s already existed for who knows how long.” Jian Chen became rather cautious and stern. He enveloped the entire fragment in a single moment with the senses of his soul.
Very soon, Jian Chen seemed to discover something. He immediately arrived in the centre of the fragment with Shangguan Mu’er like he had teleported.
An extremely spacious square existed there, but it had clearly experienced intense conflict in the past, so the entire place was uneven. There were many huge, bottomless holes.
The entire ruined land was covered in a thick layer of dust with many footprints left there.
These footprints were clearly left behind by Shangguan Aojian and the others.
In the centre of the square was an extremely ancient teleportation formation.
Even though the formation was rather damaged now and the passage of time had already left unerasable traces on it, its overall structure was still relatively intact.
Jian Chen stood in front of the ancient teleportation formation. His complexion became absolutely horrible as he said sternly, “Aojian and the others have already left through this teleportation formation.”
Shangguan Mu’er’s complexion became ugly as well. She said, “Jian Chen, your cultivation is higher than mine, so can you see where Aojian and the others were transported to?”
Jian Chen shook his head gently. He gazed at the ancient teleportation formation with mixed feelings and said, “I can only confirm that they’ve left this world already. They’ve been transported to a higher space through this teleportation formation. However, as to where exactly they’ve gone, even I cannot peer into that. After all, higher worlds are different from lower worlds. The difficulty behind obtaining information about higher worlds through peering and calculations is extremely difficult, not to mention that we’re in two different worlds right now.”
Jian Chen continued, “On top of that, the teleportation formation can no longer be used. Aojian and the others must have used up this teleportation formation’s last time.”
When she heard how Shangguan Aojian had already ventured to a higher world, Shangguan Mu’er immediately became sheet-white. She began to panic.
She understood exactly how dangerous higher worlds were. Even if Shangguan Aojian had already reached Godhood in the lower worlds, he was only a Deity.
The strength of a Deity was basically no different from an ant in a large world on par with the Saints’ World.
“This child, why doesn’t he just listen? Why did he venture to a higher world alone?” Shangguan Mu’er immediately began to panic. Once Shangguan Aojian ventured to a higher world, his fate would truly become unknown.
After a moment of thought, Jian Chen comforted her. “Mu’er, you’re far too worried. Aojian possesses the Innate Chaotic Body that is a result of the fortunes of nature. The path ahead of him is fated to be anything but ordinary. Perhaps it is the arrangements of fate for him to accidentally venture to a higher world this time.”
“Compared to your overprotectiveness towards Aojian, as his father, I instead hope that Aojian can fight tenaciously with his abilities. Since he possesses the Innate Chaotic Body, he is fated to become an expert of great power.”
“There are no experts produced in glasshouses. All true experts have made it to where they are by stepping over piles of corpses and pools of blood. They have paved their path through trials of life-or-death.”
As he said that, Jian Chen extended his finger, and a sharp strand of sword Qi immediately shot out. He drew a huge circle about three hundred metres across with the sword Qi around the teleportation formation. Then he stowed the entire teleportation formation away with the foundations.
“Mu’er, let’s go. Let’s go back to the Saints’ World and check the origins of this teleportation formation. It’s far too ancient, so ancient that even I can’t find any clues,” Jian Chen said. Although he did support Shangguan Aojian fighting tenaciously by himself, he felt like he had a duty to find out where Shangguan Aojian had gone exactly at the very least. With that, he could find him in the future.
Very soon, Jian Chen and Shangguan Mu’er returned to the Saints’ World. As they had not entered the Saints’ World through the Tian Yuan Continent, but a different world, they did not directly arrive on the Cloud Plane. Instead, they arrived on one of the forty-nine great planes of the Saints’ World, the Heniu Plane.
“The Heniu Plane was where the Daoist Sect of Neptunea once stood.” Jian Chen subconsciously glanced at outer space as soon as he arrived on the Heniu Plane. Even now, he could still clearly recall how many organisations had been drawn over in a struggle when the high quality god artifact, the Neptunean Divine Palace, appeared in the space beyond the Heniu Plane.
It filled Jian Chen with emotions and memories. Back then, he was still a Godhood cultivator.
As for now, some of the supreme Godkings from the Godkings’ Throne that had appeared in the Neptunean Divine Palace were still stuck as Godkings, while he had already surpassed all of his peers, becoming a Chaotic Prime.
Jian Chen did not idle around on the Heniu Plane. He directly took an interplanar teleportation formation with Shanguan Mu’er.
With his current strength, coupled with his Laws of Space at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Choatic Prime, he could even rival some experts that had only broken through to Grand Prime recently in outer space.
Nonetheless, teleportation formations were still the fastest and most convenient method to travel between planes.
However, right as Jian Chen and Shangguan Mu’er set foot in a teleportation formation, a powerful formation appeared and trapped them inside.
“Sigh, I forgot to wear the mask and disguise myself!” Jian Chen immediately understood what was happening, which made him sigh gently.
“You are forbidden from taking any other beings with you when taking the interplanar teleportation formation. The formation has detected other people in the spatial artifacts on you. You need to pay the correct price depending on how many people you’ve brought with you.” At the same time, an old voice rang out from outside. An Infinite Prime old man hovered outside the formation coldly.
But in the next moment, the old man’s face changed. A great power of space pulsed in his surroundings, wrapping around him in an instant.
“H-how dare you attack-” The old man was both surprised and furious, but before he could finish what he was saying, his figure vanished, having been dragged into the formation forcefully. He was unable to resist at all. All he could do was activate the jade talisman in his Space Ring with the senses of his soul.
