In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed since Jianchen's wedding. The various experts who had come to attend the wedding all dispersed, and Flame City gradually returned to its usual peace. However, a small number of people chose not to leave. They remained in the city.
In the morning, Huang Luan and You Yue helped Jianchen change his clothes in the city lord's estate. Their eyes were filled with sweetness and happiness.
"Yue 'er, Luan' er, I'll take you to see some old friends of mine in a bit," Jianchen smiled as he looked at the two girls gently.
You Yue and Huang Luan nodded at the same time. They said nothing. In their hearts, Jianchen was everything.
Caia sat at a table in an inn within Flame City as she tasted the delicious breakfast on the table. However, it was not difficult to tell that she was in a very bad mood from her frown and displeasure from time to time.
A 'Da and his brothers sat at a table beside Caia. However, the four of them did not try the most delicious breakfast in the entire city. Instead, they glanced at Caia from time to time with some doubt and confusion on their faces.
This was because the four of them had discovered that whenever they were a certain distance away from Caia, killing intent would appear from the depths of their hearts. This killing intent was extremely strange. It was difficult for them to control at times, as if it wanted to rush out of their bodies and appear in the outside world. The four of them could not figure out the reason.
Kai Ya's frown deepened. She could sense the vague threat from the four brothers become even more intense. If it were not for the fact that all fighting was forbidden in Flame City, and if it were not for the fact that she knew she was not the opponent of the four brothers, she probably would have attacked the four of them.
Caia glanced at the little beast on her shoulder and immediately calmed down. She understood that even if she was not their opponent, there was no Holy Emperor in the world that could harm her as long as the little beast was present. Even Holy Emperors at Great Perfection would not be able to do so. The four brothers had clearly not become Holy Emperors yet.
"To be able to meet a few old friends here, I'm really overjoyed." At this moment, a hearty laugh rang out from the entrance of the inn. Jianchen walked in in white robes. To no surprise, You Yue and Huang Luan followed behind him.
Aside from the four brothers and Caia, there were many other people in the inn as well. As soon as Jianchen stepped in, everyone except the four brothers and Caia stood up at the same time. They all bowed towards Jianchen politely.
The four brothers and Caia looked at Jianchen as well. Unlike the other people in the inn, the five of them did not bow towards Jianchen. When they saw Jianchen's familiar face, they could not help but think about when they first met Jianchen in the sea realm. They immediately experienced mixed feelings.
In particular, the four brothers had met Jianchen in the divine realm for the first time. Back then, the four of them had almost come into conflict with Jianchen. At that time, the four of them could clearly sense that even if Jianchen was more powerful than them, there was a limit to it. However, Jianchen's status had changed so drastically that the four brothers felt like they were dreaming. This was because Jianchen, who was around the same strength as them back then, had already become a sovereign of the human race. He had even surpassed the Holy Emperor and become an Origin realm expert.
Jianchen smiled and clasped his fist towards the people in the inn in a friendly manner. Afterward, he directly made his way to Caia's table and sat down. However, he stared at the small beast on Caia's shoulder as a strange light appeared in his eyes.
"When I went to the Kalor tribe in the past, I discovered that everything had changed. I was originally worried that something bad had happened to you, but looking at it now, not only are you fine, you've even obtained a great fortuitous encounter." Jianchen stared at Caia deeply before glancing at the small beast on her shoulder from time to time. He sighed inside.
He recognized the small beast. It was the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast he had encountered in the depths of the divine realm. It was a true divine beast with tremendous potential. Originally, he planned on subduing it when he was strong enough, but it seemed like Caia had already taken it away.
As Jianchen stared at the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast, it opened its eyes as well. When it discovered Jianchen, it immediately stood up from Caia's shoulder. It shone with red, orange, and yellow light as it glared at Jianchen with its sharp eyes.
"Xiao Lu, don't be rude!" Caia gently pressed a finger against the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast and gently called out. It immediately quieted down before faintly smiling at Jianchen, "Warrior Jianchen, Xiao Lu doesn't know any better. Please don't take offense."
Jianchen chuckled as he stared at the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast. He sighed, "It's been so long, yet this little thing still remembers me. How rare."
Jianchen explained when he saw Caia's confusion, "When I ventured into the depths of the divine realm, I met this little thing from afar. It's a divine beast called the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast. It's still in its infancy. I originally wanted to subdue it, but I lacked the strength, so I could only give up helplessly. I'm very curious about how you managed to subdue it, Caia."
A sliver of surprise appeared in Caia's eyes when he heard that. He glanced at the little beast on his shoulder and said, "Back then, I was hunted down by my enemies and had nowhere to run, so I could only take the risk and venture into the depths of the divine realm. I met Xiao Lu in the depths of the divine realm. After it saw me, it took the initiative to follow me. Xiao Lu is very obedient and well-behaved."
"What! The Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast followed you of its own accord? " Jianchen was stunned. He was extremely surprised. He knew that the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast was not a divine beast as the people of this world understood it to be. If the divine beasts of this world were placed in the Immortals' World, they would only be regular immortal beasts. However, the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast was a true divine beast. Its strength was beyond what the people of this world could imagine.
However, a true divine beast like that was actually willing to follow by Caia's side, and it seemed to obey Caia's every command. Jianchen was very confused.
"Yeah, warrior Jianchen, is there something wrong? And it's all because of Xiao Lu that my strength has increased so quickly. Xiao Lu gave me some nectar to drink, which is why my strength has soared over the years, "Caia said.
"I see!" Jianchen understood. No wonder Caia's strength had increased so drastically in less than twenty years, going from Saint Ruler to the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. His rate of improvement was shocking. After all, Caia did not possess a heavenly resource like the Saints' Fruit, which was extremely precious even in the Immortals' World.
However, what surprised Jianchen was that the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast was actually willing to follow by Caia's side. This allowed him to indirectly understand how extraordinary Caia was. After all, the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast was a true divine beast. It would never follow an ordinary person for no reason, and it seemed to be so obedient to Caia.
Jianchen then looked at the four brothers and exchanged some pleasantries with them. Although he did not have deep feelings for the four brothers, they had once fought together in the depths of the divine realm after all. At the same time, the four of them practiced cultivation methods that were related to the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt of the Immortals' World, so they were basically on the same side.
In the past few years, the four brothers' strength had increased at an extremely rapid rate as well. They had all become experts at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor now.
Afterwards, Jianchen invited Caia and the four brothers to the city lord's estate as guests. They chatted casually before changing the topic to the World of Forsaken Saints. The four brothers and Caia only knew a little about the World of Forsaken Saints. They did not know much about it.
Jianchen obviously did not hide anything. He told Caia and the four brothers everything he knew. The four brothers and Caia became extremely stern when they learned about the true strength of the World of Forsaken Saints.
"I never thought that the World of Forsaken Saints would be so terrifying. Just the number of Holy Emperors is so great. This is basically a battlefield for the Holy Emperors. If the Holy Emperor takes part, he'll definitely be doomed. It's laughable that the four of us even planned on using the blood of the foreign experts to test our sword formation," A 'Da said with a sunken face, but he did not feel any fear at all.
"Brother, if the four of us split up, we'll definitely be doomed against the Holy Emperor, but if we form a sword formation, even the Holy Emperor won't be unkillable," A 'Er said confidently. His battle prowess was high.
