Chapter 3392: The Moment for Return
At this moment, the two sword spirits turned into a young man and a young woman over Jian Chen’s head in seated positions. The man was handsome; the woman was beautiful. They seemed like a match made in heaven.
The sword spirits looked towards the artifact spirit of the Source of Life at the same time. Their eyes were slightly confused and doubtful.
They had only just awakened from their slumber. They were completely unaware of what had happened over the years, so they obviously did not know about the Source of Life’s existence.
“Don’t tell me this is the legendary Source of Life?’ At this moment, Zi Ying suddenly spoke up. His eyes were filled with surprise.
“Hmm? Zi Ying, you actually know about the Source of Life?” Jian Chen was surprised. In his knowledge, the twin swords and the Source of Life existed in completely different eras.
When the Source of Life and the Wood Spirits left the other Spiritsages, the world did not have the twin swords.
“I’ve heard about it. After all, some records and rumours regarding the existence of all peak god artifacts will remain in the world to some degree even when they’re destroyed,” said Zi Ying.
“Wh-y-why are you natural spirits appearing on him?” The artifact spirit of the Source of Life stared at the sword spirits in shock. There was a hint of seriousness in the depths of its eyes, as well as much reverence.
“Jian Chen is our master. What’s wrong with us following him around?” Zi Ying shot a glance at the artifact spirit of the Source of Life.
“What? H-h-he’s your master? N-no, that’s impossible. You natural spirits are unique in the world. How can existences as proud as you find such a feeble person as a master?” The Source of Life was in disbelief.
Qing Suo and Zi Ying both sneered in response. Qing Suo mockingly said, “Hmph, how can the likes of you notice exactly what makes our master extraordinary? Surely you know about the Primeval Qi, right?”
“Primeval Qi? The Primeval Qi that was created with chaos?” The Source of Life was taken aback.
“Exactly that!” Qing Suo stared at the artifact spirit of the Source of Life in disdain and said, “Let me tell you. The Primeval Qi has also submitted, willingly accepting him as its master.”
“What?” The Source of Life was shocked. Afterwards, as if a bombshell had just been dropped on it, it was rather dazed. It murmured, “I-i-is that true?”
Actually, it already had an answer. As the artifact spirit of a sovereign god artifact, it understood the strength and pride of natural spirits extremely well. Existences on their level would never stoop so low to lie to it.
“Source of Life, you better set aside your arrogance in front of master, or hmph, you should know the consequences.” Qing Suo gave a threatening warning in the end. Afterwards, the two sword spirits returned to Jian Chen’s body at the same time.
The artifact spirit of the Source of Life was rather dazed. Originally, it looked down on Jian Chen very much. As the artifact spirit of a sovereign god artifact, it obviously had its own sense of pride.
Yet in the end, it actually found natural spirits on Jian Chen, and not just one, which was quite a shock to it.
Every single natural spirit was extraordinary. They were energies created at the birth of the universe, basically accompanying chaos. They were truly unique.
As a matter of fact, some of these natural spirits were undying. Even existences as powerful as sovereigns could not completely erase their existence.
Compared to these natural spirits, the Source of Life was obviously a level lower.
It was an artifact spirit created through nurture.
The artifact spirit of the Source of Life was very shocked. Afterwards, it said nothing at all, vanishing into Jian Chen’s forehead dejectedly.
However, the position it occupied was clearly behind the sword spirits.
Afterwards, Jian Chen casually split open the Wood Spirits World that had already become extremely feeble, immediately appearing in the space outside.
However, as soon as he arrived outside, he saw a film expand and virtually engulf the entire lower world.
This film was the fetal membrane of the world.
“Senior Feng, didn’t you return to the Spiritsages?” Jian Chen asked with mixed feelings.
“I only sent a soul clone to take them back to the clan. After all, the formation here has already been destroyed. It’s lost its concealing function. I was worried about leaving you here alone, which was why I remained here the entire time.” The fetal membrane of the world suddenly shrank, turning into a space of three hundred metres across around Jian Chen.
“Everyone thinks you’re dead already, so we must keep the fact that you’re still alive an absolute secret. If you remain inside this domain created from my body, even Anatta won’t discover you even if she was right before you.”
“Jian Chen, what are your plans next?” the Wind Venerable asked.
“I plan on going to the Immortals’ World!” Jian Chen said.
The Wind Venerable shook his head and said, “If you want to go to the Immortals’ World, you can’t leave for now, as the senses of Overarching Heaven’s soul are constantly observing everything that unfolds in the Saints’ World. If any experts perish in the Saints’ World or any major battles erupt, none of it can escape his senses.”
“You need to breach the world boundary before crossing the chaotic sea to reach the Immortals’ World.”
“Let me tell you about the chaotic sea. The chaotic sea, also known as the chaotic space, is a place that only Grand Exalts can set foot in. Those weaker will only die. However, you have the protection of the Source of Life. Given the quality of the Source of Life, it can protect you for a period of time, but only a period of time. If you want to reach the Immortals’ World, the Source of Life’s feeble powers are completely insufficient. If its master’s cultivation is powerful enough, it can be forcefully powered through its master’s energy. However, your cultivation is clearly nowhere near enough for a sovereign god artifact.”
“Secondly, there’s the world boundary. This is the world boundary of a major world, so it’s extremely tough. Given your current strength, it’s completely insufficient to cross it. You have a chance if you fuse the twin swords, but the bodies of the twin swords have been shattered, and the sword spirits are feeble. They’ve completely lost the edge that they possessed as medium quality god artifacts in the past.”
“The world boundary on the Saints’ World’s side is less of a problem. I can breach it for you. I can also send you through the chaotic space. However, you’ll be forced to rely on yourself for the world boundary on the Immortals’ World’s side. After all, if I take action, it’ll only make things worse. It’ll lead to a lot of problems for you.”
“Think about it. If a sovereign of the Saints’ World personally escorted you to the Immortals’ World, what would the people of the Immortals’ World think?”
Jian Chen frowned in response to that. “In other words, if I want to return to the Immortals’ World successfully, I have to repair the twin swords to the level of medium quality god artifacts?”
The Wind Venerable nodded. “That’s correct. You need to possess the ability to pierce the world boundary at the very least. However, that’s actually very simple. I can help your sword spirits recover very quickly, while refining medium quality god artifact swords is nothing difficult for the Spiritsages either.”
“However, if you want to leave the Saints’ World, you need to wait for a particular moment.”
“What moment?” Jian Chen asked.
“The moment when the experts of the Immortals’ World attack. Once they come, Overarching Heaven will no longer have the effort to spare to overlook the entire Saints’ World. It is also then when I can secretly take you away from here and escort you through the chaotic sea.”
“According to my estimates, the experts of the Immortals’ World will attack soon because Ancient Paths is refining something very powerful. They will definitely try everything that they can to destroy it.”
