Chapter 2476: I Only Recognise Jian Chen
“Let’s go!” Hun Zang called out, and the Martial Soul Mountain there suddenly vanished. It completely disappeared along with the eight successors of the Martial Soul lineage and the Neptunean Divine Palace.
The attacks from the Grand Primes landed where the Martial Soul Mountain vanished. Devastating shockwaves collapsed space, reducing that region into darkness.
There were so many of them, but they were unable to stop the Martial Soul Mountain from leaving.
“I really never thought that we would go to such lengths only to be taken advantage of by the Martial Soul lineage in the end,” a Grand Prime old man sighed at the sky. His face was filled with helplessness and regret.
The other experts also hovered in outer space and stared at where the Martial Soul Mountain had vanished from. Although they were vexed, they also felt powerless.
The eyes of the expert in gold and violet armor were cold. His face was extremely ugly. He snorted coldly before leaving in a flash.
All the peak experts who took part in the operation for the Neptunean Divine Palace ended up wasting their efforts. They allowed the Martial Soul lineage to take away the Neptunean Divine Palace easily.
The colossal Martial Soul Mountain hovered quietly in a distant region of outer space. It moved through space with an irregular motion.
Jian Chen, Hun Zang, and the others suddenly appeared on the Martial Soul Mountain. They had crossed a huge distance with the Neptunean Divine Palace, returning to the Martial Soul Mountain.
However, everyone was staring at the fist-sized Neptunean Divine Palace in Jian Chen’s hand. They all smiled.
“I never thought that forging an alliance with the Neptunean Divine Palace would be so easy,” said Jian Chen’s fifth senior sister, Su Qi. Clearly, she was extremely happy.
Hun Zang chuckled from that. “Eighth junior was crucial to this entire process happening without a hitch. If it were not for eighth junior’s connection, the master of the Neptunean Divine Palace would have never been willing to work with us.”
“Haha, our Martial Soul lineage really has gained quite a lot of good fortune with eighth junior’s arrival. The peak organisations have tried everything they can think of to rope in the Neptunean Divine Palace, but we, the Martial Soul lineage, succeeded in our first attack. It’s all because of eighth junior,” added Yue Chao in praise.
Clearly, the members of the Martial Soul lineage were extremely delighted over the fact that they had successfully forged an alliance with the Neptunean Divine Palace. Although the master of the Neptunean Divine Palace was still very weak, the divine hall was a high quality god artifact after all. It would bring great help to the Martial Soul lineage.
If the Martial Soul lineage waged battles elsewhere, the Neptunean Divine Palace would basically be a sturdy, moving fortress.
After all, the true Martial Soul Mountain could not be controlled. Moving through space with the power of the mountain soul could only take them to regions in outer space. They were unable to descend on the forty-nine great planes or the eighty-one great planets. Moreover, the mountain soul was not invincible. Once they encountered an extremely powerful opponent, its power could still be dispersed.
In terms of defence, the mountain soul completely paled in comparison to a high quality god artifact.
The addition of the Neptunean Divine Palace had made up for the Martial Soul lineage’s only flaw in battle.
Bang!
With a heavy thud, the Neptunean Divine Palace turned back to thousands of metres long and landed on an open area of the Martial Soul Mountain.
If it were not for how extraordinary the Martial Soul Mountain was, this would probably be enough to crush the mountain to pieces.
Jian Chen looked at the Neptunean Divine Palace and smiled faintly. He knew that this had all been on purpose because even if the divine hall was terrifyingly massive, the artifact spirit could still make it as light as a feather and prevent all this.
“The Martial Soul Mountain really is extraordinary. I feel like it’s even more mysterious than the rumors say. When I tested it just then, I could not shake it up at all with my current power. Moreover, I can sense a very great suppressive power hidden in here. Once the suppressive power erupts, even I probably can’t leave. Little master, stay in here. Don’t go out,” said the short old man in the Neptunean Divine Palace sternly. He was fearful towards the Martial Soul Mountain.
“I believe that brother Jian Chen won’t harm me. If he really does harm me, then… then I’ll just accept all of it.” Xiao Man seemed like she was ready to risk everything. She completely ignored the artifact spirit’s words and immediately flew out.
Zi Yun followed Xiao Man closely. As she looked at the entrance that grew closer and closer, she discovered that her heart had started to beat faster and faster. Jian Chen’s tall, sturdy figure would constantly appear in her mind.
Finally, the two of them emerged from the Neptunean Divine Palace. They stood at the Neptunean Divine Palace’s grand entrance. From there, they saw Jian Chen standing with the seven other successors of the Martial Soul lineage with a single glance.
“Brother Jian Chen, I’ve finally found you!” Xiao Man called out happily. Just like an orphan who had found her long lost parents, she seemed extremely excited. She immediately ran over and clung onto Jian Chen’s arm closely.
Zi Yun stood at the entrance as she smiled. Her gaze remained fixed on Jian Chen the entire time. She seemed rather composed on the surface, but she was nowhere close to calm inside.
“Xiao Man, you’ve grown up!” Jian Chen smiled. Xiao Man now seemed like a lady in her twenties, no longer the little girl he had met back then.
Even Xiao Man’s strength had increased drastically since then. She had reached late Reciprocity, only a step away from Godhood.
Afterwards, Jian Chen looked at Zi Yun. He smiled and nodded at her in greeting.
“Several decades have passed, but apart from growing stronger, he hasn’t changed at all,” thought Zi Yun. For some reason, she suddenly felt extremely calm the moment she saw Jian Chen. It was as if the sense of danger she experienced in the past few years when she fled with Xiao Man in the Neptunean Divine Palace had evaporated in an instant.
It was like she had managed to find a calm, little island in the surging, tempestuous seas, finding a place that could shelter her from everything.
With a slight greeting, they formally began the discussion of the alliance.
“We can form an alliance, but I’ll only discuss with brother Jian Chen. I won’t talk to anyone else other than brother Jian Chen,” Xiao Man said firmly.
Hun Zang and the others looked at one another. In the end, they smiled bitterly and helplessly. Without any other choice, they could only allow Jian Chen and Xiao Man to discuss the exact details of the alliance separately.
