Chapter 2563: The Might of the Laws of Space
The Gentle Breeze Ancestor’s words made the four other supreme experts of the Four Symbols Alliance sink into deep thought. All of them furrowed their brows sternly.
They all understood that while the Four Symbols Alliance and Righteous Alliance seemed to have agreed to a ceasefire on the surface, this was only temporary.
This had only happened because the Four Symbols Alliance had gained a Grand Prime, lessening their difference in strength compared to the Righteous Alliance. Coupled with how the people of the Righteous Alliance were not in complete agreement, prioritising their own safety in battle without going all out, the Righteous Alliance could not help but agree to a ceasefire with the Four Symbols Alliance.
Once the Righteous Alliance gained the power to crush them in an overwhelming manner, the ceasefire agreement would be no different from a thin piece of paper.
As a result, the Four Symbols Alliance was indeed in desperate need of allying themselves with someone or something powerful.
“The young star lord’s appearance has indeed given our Four Symbols Alliance an opportunity. We have to rope him in regardless of the price, and we also have to keep the matter of the young star lord an absolute secret so that the Righteous Alliance doesn’t learn about him…”
“”I hope that the young star lord won’t be as unapproachable as Ming Dong…”
The Four Symbols Alliance made their decision very quickly.
…
Jian Chen cultivated within his residence inside the Tian Yuan clan. Suddenly, there was a knock on his door. After he gave them permission to enter, Xi Yu, who was responsible for most of the affairs in the clan, hurried in.
“Xi Yu, what has made you so hurried?” A gleam of interest flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes when he saw how hurried Xi Yu was.
“Patriarch, someone has come to visit. He said that he’s the young star lord of the Star Brilliance Plane. I don’t know who the young star lord is, but he seems to come from very great origins. As soon as he stated his identity, senior Xu immediately told me to come find you secretly,” Xi Yu said in a hurry. She realised that this person’s identity was probably extraordinary since Xu Ran had personally spoken on this matter.
Basically everyone knew what the young star lord represented on the Star Brilliance Plane, but everyone who knew the name was basically important figures or people of great origins beyond the Star Brilliance Plane.
Xi Yu clearly was not on the level where she could come into contact with such information, so she naturally did not know who the young star lord was.
“The young star lord of the Star Brilliance Plane?’ Jian Chen furrowed his brows. He had been to the Star Brilliance Plane, so he had naturally heard about the young star lord before.
When he crossed through space on a spatial battleship, he had met many juniors of peak clans who went as far as to cross the sea of stars just to congratulate the young star lord on his birthday. As a result, he was familiar with the young star lord.
He was the foster son of a supreme expert, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord. His identity was extraordinary.
Jian Chen stood up and left his residence. He went to the hall that was specially used to receive esteemed guests and saw the legendary young star lord.
Currently, the young star lord sat lazily in a chair. His legs were placed on the table before him as he played around with a spiritual fruit in his hand. He seemed very bored.
The old man who had come with him stood beside the young star lord quietly like an old servant.
Jian Chen looked at the young man. He studied him as he clasped his hands. “You must be the renowned young star lord. Greetings. I am the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, Jian Chen.”
The young star lord did not adjust his posture. He looked up and glanced at Jian Chen. He took him lightly. “Jian Chen? I’ve heard of you. You got real lucky somewhere and picked up the Anatta Tower, and then you fled across the Saints’ World. In the end, you hid on the Desolate Plane for a few years.”
The young star lord said indifferently, but his attitude and tone exposed his contempt.
Jian Chen smiled indifferently, acting as if he could not hear the young star lord’s tone at all. He said relaxedly, “The young star lord possesses a great status and identity, yet you’ve heard of me. That’s a great honor for me.”
The young star lord clenched his hand slightly and crushed the spiritual fruit he was holding. Milky-white juice flowed out, filling the entire room with a heavy fragrance.
Although the spiritual fruit had not reached the God Tier, it was not of a low quality. It was extremely valuable, such that even across the entire Tian Yuan clan, there were not many of them.
“You’re actually using such low quality spiritual fruits to receive your guests. Isn’t the Tian Yuan clan far too stingy? Or should I say that the Tian Yuan clan doesn’t take me seriously?” The young star lord shook his hand in disdain as if he was afraid that the juice would dirty him. Before Jian Chen could reply, he continued, “You were hunted down by so many experts, yet you’re still able to survive until now. I need to say that you have really good luck.”
“Of course not, young star lord. I only barely survived,” Jian Chen said without any particular modesty or haughtiness. As he looked at the fruit that the young star lord had crushed, a sliver of coldness appeared in his eyes. He said, “The Tian Yuan clan is only a small place, nowhere close to being as wealthy as the Star Brilliance Plane. Please forgive us if we’ve received you poorly.”
“Enough, you don’t need to explain anymore. I know your Tian Yuan clan is only a small clan on the Cloud Plane. Whatever you can take out will naturally be unpresentable to those of higher status. Call Shangguan Mu’er over. I’ve come to the Tian Yun clan to meet the successor of the Third Ancestor,” the young star lord said arrogantly.
“I may have to disappoint the young star lord. Mu’er is currently in secluded cultivation, so she’s not meeting anyone.” Jian Chen’s voice gradually turned cold. He finally understood why the young star lord had come now.
The young star lord’s face immediately sank when he heard that. His gaze became piercing.
“How dare you!” The old man behind the young star lord called out. His presence as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime radiated outwards, crushing down on Jian Chen in an overwhelming manner. He growled and said, “Didn’t you heard what the young star lord said? As long as the young star lord wants to see someone, it doesn’t matter who she is or what she is doing. She is supposed to stop whatever she’s doing and come here immediately.”
Jian Chen stood still under the presence of the Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime. His eyes became cold as he stared right at the old man and young star lord sharply. He said, “Mu’er’s cultivation is more important than anything else. Even if your foster father, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord, was here, I would not let him interfere with Mu’er’s cultivation, let alone you.”
“Jian Chen, how dare you speak ill of the star lord!” The old man was furious. Like a bolt of lightning, he flew towards Jian Chen. He had already readied his hand to slap Jian Chen.
However, at this moment, the surrounding space began to pulse and distort slightly.
Afterwards, the old man became as slow as a snail. He should have been as swift as lightning, but he became as slow as a regular human. He leapt two metres away, and at the same time, he had already swung his hand, hitting nothing with a cold gust of wind.
His posture seemed extremely strange. He was over ten metres away from Jian Chen. In the end, all that happened was that he jumped two metres and swung his hand.
“The Laws of Space!” The old man narrowed his eyes in surprise. He had never heard that Jian Chen’s Laws of Space had reached such a level from the information he possessed.
