Chapter 2480: Returning to the Desolate Plane
The protective power from the protector swords could actually block their Martial Soul Force; that really was bad news for them.
This was because their Martial Soul Force would become completely useless before the wielders of the protector swords.
“Why would it be like this? What are the origins of the protector swords? They can even block our Martial Soul Force,” Chu Jian said sternly.
“There has never been an item or existence that can block our Martial Soul Force in the history of our lineage. None of the ancient archives have any records of something like that,” said Su Qi with a frown.
“The Radiant Saint Hall now has six protector swords. What will our Martial Soul lineage use to handle them in the future?” Yun Ziting asked solemnly.
For a moment, all eight successors of the Martial Soul lineage fell silent. The protector swords were so powerful and the Radiant Saint Hall had gained six of them all of a sudden. Coupled with their leader, Yu Chen, the vice-leaders, and the elders, they were several times more powerful than the Martial Soul lineage now.
Even with their alliance with the Neptunean Divine Palace, they were unable to make up for this difference.
“Senior Yue Chao, may I ask who the wielders are?” Jian Chen suddenly asked a while later.
“The identities of the six wielders have not all been made public. I only know two of them, and they’re Donglin Yanxue and Han Xin,” said Yue Chao.
“What? Two of the wielders are Donglin Yanxue and Han Xin?” Jian Chen was alarmed and stunned. He was clearly taken aback.
He was familiar with both of them.
Of the two, Donglin Yanxue was not as surprising. She was the Chosen Saint of the Radiant Saint Hall, and her talent was outstanding. As such, it made sense for her to obtain a protector sword. However, both Han Xin’s talent and potential were only average in the Radiant Saint Hall. He was not special, so him managing to inherit a protector sword surprised Jian Chen.
“Has it got to do with the artifact spirit?” Jian Chen suspected secretly as the light in his eyes flickered with uncertainty.
After a moment of hesitation, he stood up and immediately bid farewell to Hun Zang and the others. He told them he wanted to go to the Desolate Plane.
“You can’t. The Radiant Saint Hall is powerful on the Desolate Plane. Although they’re not exactly the supreme rulers, they’re not far from it now. Eighth junior, you’re also the person that the Radiant Saint Hall resents the most, so it’s too dangerous for you to go to the Desolate Plane,” Hun Zang said immediately.
“That’s right. Eighth junior, you’ve taken away the Grand Exalt’s cultivation method from the Radiant Saint Hall. The Radiant Saint Hall is currently looking for you everywhere. If you go to the Desolate Plane, you’re basically entering the belly of the beast.”
“Eighth junior, you can’t go to the Desolate Plane. After all, you don’t possess strength like senior Yue Chao…”
The other successors tried to persuade him as well.
“Seniors, do not worry. I have my methods of hiding, so I can prevent anyone from discovering me. You can’t forget how I managed to elude so many peak experts and all their exceptional abilities back on the Desolate Plane. My strength is obviously not as great as senior Yue Chao’s, but my ability to stay hidden is probably greater than any of you,” Jian Chen said confidently. Not only did he have the mask from Mo Tianyun, which would cover his presence completely, he also had the jade pendant from the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, which prevented innate abilities like what the Elder of Mountains and Seas possessed from finding him.
With those two factors, he could truly reach perfection with his disguises. Unless it was a supreme expert like the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, basically no one in the Saints’ World could see through his disguises.
Swish!
Jian Chen immediately turned into a streak of light and shot off the Martial Soul Mountain with lightning speed. He vanished into the vast sea of stars in an instant, leaving by himself.
“Has Jian Chen left?” After Jian Chen’s departure, the gloomy Zi Yun arrived as well. She looked at the people of the Martial Soul lineage with hollow eyes.
Su Qi sighed inside when she saw Zi Yun’s appearance. She said softly, “Eighth junior is only leaving the Martial Soul Mountain temporarily. He’ll be back before long.”
Zi Yun said nothing. She turned around and left rather gloomily, disappearing into the Neptunean Divine Palace.
A powerful streak of light shot through outer space like a comet, covering ground rapidly.
Within the streak of light was Jian Chen, who was holding a star chart. He navigated his way as he unleashed his full speed.
“With my current speed, I only need three days to reach the closest interplanar teleportation formation,” thought Jian Chen. He did not teleport to the Desolate Plane using the power of the Martial Soul Mountain this time. Instead, he planned on using teleportation formations.
Each time the Martial Soul Mountain teleported someone, it would consume a tremendous amount of power. Moreover, it would form a huge target, which could be easily discovered by people. It would be inconvenient given the purpose of his visit. If he used interplanar teleportation formations, he would be able to truly avoid any and all attention.
Three days later, Jian Chen arrived on the great planet closest to him. He paid some five-colored divine crystals and stepped into the teleportation formation.
“Although I’ve lost the Anatta Tower, the mask from senior Mo Tianyun can disguise the divine hall on me too, preventing the formation from discovering anything living on me,” thought Jian Chen. Every single interplanar formation forbid people carrying spatial artifacts with living creatures inside; this was to prevent people from moving large numbers of people and affecting their profits.
After all, an interplanar teleportation formation was a money-maker for any peak organisation. They would never let anyone reduce their earnings.
Of course, this rule could be ignored if one had powerful strength or a great background.
Several dozen teleportation formations were arranged in a large square in the centre of the imperial capital of the Violet Wind Empire. The teleportation formations constantly flickered as cultivators flowed in and out. It was clearly extremely busy.
Of course, the teleportation formations that constantly flickered could only take people across planes. The larger teleportation formations that could take people across planes were clearly much more quiet. They would normally go for around a dozen days or more without lighting up.
Several dozen soldiers were stationed around the interplanar teleportation formations. The person who stood out the most among the soldiers was an extremely unkempt man. He was laying back on a cane chair. He seemed to be extremely comfortable.
At this moment, one of the interplanar teleportation formations suddenly lit up. With an intense flash of white light, a white-robed middle-aged man with a striking appearance emerged.
The middle-aged man was Jian Chen after changing his appearance.
Jian Chen caught sight of the unkempt old man on the cane chair nearby. His expression did not change, but he sighed emotionally inside, “I left here several dozen years ago. I never thought I would return now.”
Although the unkempt old man had shown him kindness in the past, Jian Chen also understood what his identity was right now. He could not show that he knew the unkempt old man, so he did not look at the old man much at all. He walked out of the teleportation and disappeared into the sea of people very soon.
However, unbeknownst to him, when he was about to disappear into the sea of people, the unkempt old man’s eyes suddenly snapped open. He glanced at Jian Chen with suspicion and wondered, “Why has this troublemaker come here again? Wherever this kid goes, there’s never peace. He went to the Star Brilliance a while back, but in the end, a Grand Prime died for no reason and drew out Nine Brilliance. Afterwards, he went to the Aqua Plane and destroyed a large sect there. Now, he has actually returned to the Desolate Plane. I hope he doesn’t make a mess of the Desolate Plane like last time…”
