Chapter 3187: An Object of the Gods’ World
Jian Chen and Shangguan Mu’er stood calmly within the formation. Right before them was the Infinite Prime old man who watched over it. He was extremely stern as he said solemnly, “Fellows, this interplanar teleportation formation belongs to our Jade Pill sect. You should be familiar with the rules for taking an interplanar teleportation formation.”
“The Jade Pill sect?” Jian Chen murmured and became slightly surprised, but his expression soon became rather strange.
He had learnt from Ming Dong a long time ago that the Jade Pill sect had contributed many resources to the Tian Yuan clan, even building an interplanar teleportation formation for free in the southern region. On top of that, the Jade Pill sect covered all the expenses for maintaining its operation.
“May I ask who’s so bold that not only have you defied the rules of our Jade Pill sect, but you’ve even trapped one of our elders?” At this moment, a solemn voice rang out. A great elder of the Jade Pill sect had personally arrived here, entering the formation with a flash.
He was a ruddy old man, giving off the heavy smell of pills. He was a Third Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime.
As soon as he entered the formation, his gaze locked onto Jian Chen and Shangguan Mu’er sharply. With the Jade Pill sect’s current strength and prestige, even Chaotic Primes had no right to break the rules they had set on the Heniu Plane.
However, when the great elder saw Jian Chen, his eyes immediately narrowed slightly. After a careful examination, his attitude immediately changed, asking carefully with an uncertain tone, “Fellow, a-a-are you perhaps the founder of the Tian Yuan clan in the southern region of the Cloud Plane, Jian Chen?”
“That’s correct. I am Jian Chen,” Jian Chen said impassively.
Having received confirmation, the great elder of the Jade Pill sect immediately adjusted his attitude. He smiled amicably and spoke extremely politely, even coming off as humble. He laughed it off. “So it’s fellow Jian Chen. Hahahaha. It’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. Our formation activates automatically. We never intended that to happen. Please don’t take this to heart, fellow Jian Chen.”
The great elder apologised in a very humble manner. The drastic change in his attitude left the Infinite Prime elder stationed here stunned. It took him quite a while before he returned to his senses.
“Fellow Jian Chen, you’ve finally paid a visit to the Heniu Plane. You really should pay a visit to our Jade Pill sect so that we can live up to our role as the local host.” In the end, the great elder of the Jade Pill sect directly invited Jian Chen to visit the sect with him.
Although he was aware that Jian Chen had impersonated the fifth hall master back then in the Darkstar World and deceived the Jade Pill sect viciously, the great elder completely refused to bring the matter up again.
“Thank you for your kind intentions, but I have something important I need to attend to, so I need to return to the Tian Yuan clan immediately. As a result, I can only visit your esteemed sect some other day,” Jian Chen said. He recalled the overbearing response from the Jade Pill sect back then again, how they would never stop until they got an explanation they wanted for what had happened in the Darkstar World. Now, when he was met with the great elder’s enthusiasm, he really struggled to adjust to this great change.
“Hahaha, not a problem, not a problem. Since you have something important to attend to, we definitely can’t waste your precious time here. I hope fellow Jian Chen can give our Jade Pill sect the small opportunity to play the role of the local host when you pass by the Heniu Plane next time.” The great elder of the Jade Pill sect fawned over Jian Chen before personally ordering the dismantling of the formation here, escorting Jian Chen all the way to the interplanar teleportation formation. Not only did he completely ignore the fact that Jian Chen was carrying other lifeforms on him, but he even let him use the teleportation formation for free.
Very soon, with a flash of white light, Jian Chen and Shangguan Mu’er left the Heniu Plane.
“Great elder, our Jade Pill sect is still a peak organisation of the Heniu clan after all. With our strength and status, do we really have to treat him so politely?” After Jian Chen had left, the Infinite Prime elder stationed there asked in confusion, forcefully changing “suck up to him so much” to “treat him so politely”.
The great elder let out a sigh. He said slowly, “Behind their Tian Yuan clan is the figure of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. As the actual person in charge of the Tian Yuan clan, I think you understand just how much power he possesses.”
Reaching there, the great elder of the Jade Pill sect seemed to recall something. He let out a deep sigh and said with mixed emotions, “Although some disputes have occurred between our Jade Pill sect and Jian Chen over the matters of the World of the Fallen Beast, even our two ancestors refuse to mention that matter again.”
“We can only befriend the current Tian Yuan clan. We cannot afford to offend them.”
……
…
Within the majestic palace of the Cloudsurge Empire on the Delight Plane.
The current emperor, Ye Yizhan, currently sat on the large dragon throne in dragon robes. He listened to the reports of his subjects, managing the affairs of the empire.
Suddenly, an attendant walked in and bowed down. He said politely, “Your majesty, someone called Jian Chen wishes to see your majesty outside. He claims to be from the Tian Yuan clan of the Cloud Plane.”
“Jian Chen? From the Tian Yuan clan? Why has he come?” Ye Yizhan slowly put down the report in his hand before standing up immediately. He said, “Invite him in quickly. I will be waiting for him in the Cloud hall.”
The so-called Cloud hall was the hall that the Cloudsurge Empire specially used to receive important guests. When people of regular status came to visit, even if they could receive an audience with Ye Yizhan, they did not necessarily have the right to be received in the Cloud hall.
In the splendid and imposing Cloud hall, Jian Chen and Shangguan Mu’er met with the emperor of the Cloudsurge Empire. After a simple conversation, Jian Chen directly stated his intentions. He wanted to meet with the Rain Abbess.
“You want to meet with the abbess? T-that’s not something I can decide, as even I cannot set foot in her place of cultivation without her permission.” Ye Yizhan was troubled because this was indeed beyond what he was capable of.
He might have been the emperor of the Cloudsurge Empire, possessing unrivalled authority, but Ye Yizhan understood that he only played the role of a caretaker at most in the Rain Abbess’s eyes.
On top of that, the abbess did not like to be disturbed either.
“You know where I cultivate. Since you want to see me, come by yourself.”
Right as Ye Yizhan was troubled, the Rain Abbess’s voice rang out clearly. It was still cold like before, without any emotion at all.
Jian Chen and Ye Yizhan immediately bowed deeply towards the depths of the palace with cupped fists. Afterwards, Jian Chen directly ventured to where the Rain Abbess cultivated with Shangguan Mu’er.
Jian Chen had already visited that place before when the Empyrean Demon Cult attacked the Cloudsurge Empire, so he obviously knew the way.
By a pool of water, Jian Chen saw the Rain Abbess.
Today, the Rain Abbess had changed into a set of white clothes. Her long, black hair was draped down her shoulder casually. She sat with her back towards Jian Chen by the pool, watching the fish swimming around in the water quietly.
“Why are you looking for me?” the Rain Abbess asked without looking back. She spoke with indifference.
Jian Chen first bowed towards the Rain Abbess with Shangguan Mu’er before taking out the teleportation formation he had found on the continent fragment in a lower world. He said, “I’ve come to see senior because I hope you can help me take a look at this teleportation formation.”
“This teleportation formation is an object of the Gods’ World. It’s of roughly the same quality as the interplanar teleportation formation of our Saints’ World,” the Rain Abbess said indifferently.
