At the same time, Poseidon of the Sea race, Yang Lie, Guihai Yidao, Feng Xiaotian, Houston, and the four A 'Da brothers all hurried over from various places. They all gathered in Changyang Prefecture to congratulate Jianchen.
Although Jianchen did not plan on holding any sort of celebration, Shangguan Aojian's appearance in Changyang Prefecture as Jianchen's son was a form of acknowledgement of his ancestry according to the customs of the Tian Yuan Continent. Even regular families would hold celebrations, not to mention that this had happened to two sovereigns, Jianchen and Shangguan Mu 'er. As a result, the ancestors of many large clans and organisations across the four races came uninvited, bringing lavish gifts to congratulate them. Even the patriarch of the Tianqin clan, Qin Xiao, Tianmu Ling, the king of the Qin Empire, Qin Ji, Kwon Youcai, Kara Livi, the president, and the grand elder of the Radiant Saint Master Union, and many other people who were on good terms with Jianchen came. In the end, Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian could not help but reject Jianchen's suggestion of not holding a celebration. They formally ordered a banquet to be held to entertain the guests.
After the celebration, everyone left. Only the four A 'Da brothers remained.
Jianchen knew what the four brothers were up to, so he called out to them before leaving Changyang Prefecture with them. They arrived at the center of a desolate mountain range.
A few magical beasts lived in the mountains. They were not very powerful, only Class 6 at most. However, with the arrival of Jianchen and the others, the powerful presences that the four brothers radiated from time to time immediately caused the magical beasts to flee in fright.
Jian Chen extended his right hand and a damaged tower the size of a finger suddenly appeared in his hand. The tower was covered in sword slashes, and every single one of them flickered with light. They formed a powerful seal that sealed the tiny tower.
The tower was the treasure that Jianchen had obtained from the Sea of Despair in the sea realm, the Anatta Grand Prime's Anatta Tower.
With the appearance of the Anatta Tower, the four of them immediately looked at it. Their faces were filled with curiosity and a sliver of confusion.
This was because the four of them found the Anatta Tower to be both familiar and unfamiliar.
"You should be looking for me because of this tower, right?" Jianchen stared at the four of them and said calmly.
The four brothers said nothing. All of their attention was focused on the Anatta Tower. All of their attention had been drawn away.
With a toss of his right hand, the finger-sized Anatta Tower was tossed into the air. Under Jian Chen's control, the finger-sized Anatta Tower rapidly expanded in the air. In the blink of an eye, it had become a huge tower that reached into the clouds, several thousand meters in diameter.
Boom!
The enlarged Anatta Tower slammed into the ground with a heavy boom, causing the ground to shake violently. As soon as the Anatta Tower left Jianchen's hand, its weight was immediately revealed, causing the ground to sink.
Looking at the Anatta Tower that had sunk several dozen meters, he shook his head helplessly.
Jian Chen shook his head rather helplessly. He had not completely refined the Anatta Tower, so placing it on the ground was a troublesome matter. This was because the Anatta Tower was as light as a feather in his hand, but once it left his hand, its weight would become apparent. As a result, he needed to make the Anatta Tower larger, the larger the better. He needed a larger surface area to support the Anatta Tower's weight. Otherwise, if it remained the size of a finger, the Anatta Tower might actually sink to the core of the planet.
"Come with me," Jianchen called out to the four brothers before flying through the damaged entrance of the Anatta Tower first.
The four brothers stared at the damaged tower that reached into the clouds in shock before flying in with Jianchen.
The Anatta Tower had a total of nine floors, and all of them were in a shattered state. A huge strand of sword Qi suppressed the edges of the nine floors.
Jianchen arrived before the sword Qi on the eastern side of the first floor with the four brothers. He stared at the huge strand of sword Qi in the shattered space and said, "The four of you should have sensed something from the Anatta Tower. The secret lies in the sword Qi. The owner of the sword Qi is called the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt. He's a supreme expert who stood at the apex of another world. Although I don't know where your cultivation method comes from, it must be related to the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt or created by the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt. The Anatta Tower is filled with remnants of the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt's sword Qi. Since the sword Qi comes from the same source as you, this might be the reason why you feel attracted to it."
"The Nirvanic Immortal Exalt possessed four swords. They were the Sword of Mortality, the Sword of Reincarnation, the Sword of Slaughter, and the Sword of Annihilation. The four swords all have their own shapes, and they just happen to share some similarities with the swords in your hands …"
"The reason why you were all able to break through to the Origin realm during the battle is also related to the sword Qi left behind by the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt. When I subdued the tower, I had the assistance of the four strands of sword Qi. They were hidden in my arm, and when the four of you fought against the crisis of the world, the four strands of sword Qi flew out of my arm and fused with you, which was why the four of you were able to break through at the same time …" Jianchen explained to the four brothers.
"Jianchen, is the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt from a higher world?" A 'Da asked.
Jianchen nodded, "That's right. The Nirvanic Immortal Exalt is indeed from a higher world, but he doesn't belong to the Saints' World. Instead, he's from the Immortals' World, an enemy of the Saints' World. At the same time, he's the greatest expert of the Immortals' World. His strength is beyond our imagination." Jianchen sighed at the sky when he reached there. He said in pity, "It's just a pity that the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt's glory is a thing of the past because he has already passed away. He died on the battlefield between the Saints' World and the Immortals' World."
The four brothers revealed mixed feelings when they heard that the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt was already dead. They learnt about the origins of their cultivation method, but it was a pity that the original owner of the cultivation method was already dead.
"What you see before you is the sword Qi of the God-Vanquishing Sword. A 'Da, I can see that your sword is rather similar to the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt's God-Vanquishing Sword. See if you can form a connection with the sword Qi. It would be even better if you can absorb the power from the sword Qi." Jian Chen stared at A 'Da with brimming interest. He had brought A' Da into the Anatta Tower this time because he wanted to see if the four of them could make the strands of sword Qi disappear or not. He wanted to see if the four of them had a way to make the strands of sword Qi disappear.
This was because the sword Qi were seals that sealed away the Anatta Tower's power. If the seals were not removed, he would not be able to unleash the tower's true power even if he refined it completely.
A 'Da stared at the sword Qi for a while before shaking his head, "The sword Qi is both familiar and unfamiliar to me. It's impossible to absorb the power from the sword Qi because I can clearly sense how powerful the sword Qi is. Even with my current strength, I still shiver in fear. If I absorb it, I'll probably be ripped to pieces in a single moment and wiped out."
A sliver of disappointment appeared in Jianchen's eyes, but he did not become dejected. He brought the four of them to the second strand of sword Qi. The second strand of sword Qi came from the God-Vanquishing Sword, which corresponded to A 'Er's sword.
However, the result was the same as A 'Da's. A' Er found the sword Qi to be rather familiar, but he was still unable to absorb its power.
Afterwards, Jian Chen led the four brothers through all four corners of the first floor, but he found nothing in the end. Only when he had explored all nine floors of the Anatta Tower with the four of them did he return in disappointment. He left the Anatta Tower.
"What about the sword Qi outside? Do you have any way of controlling it? Or absorbing it? " Jianchen stood outside the Anatta Tower and looked at the sword slashes. Even though he already knew what to do, he still wanted to try.
The four brothers stared at the sword Qi before closing their eyes very soon. Their presences suddenly changed at that moment.
Jianchen's eyes suddenly narrowed as he stared at the four brothers. At that moment, he felt like the four brothers seemed to have fused with the sword Qi.
"They're using the sword slashes to comprehend the Way of the Sword!" Jianchen's heart skipped a beat. He had experienced something similar when he first saw the sword slashes, but unfortunately, due to his low cultivation, not only did he fail to benefit from it, but he had almost suffered a powerful backlash.
"The cultivation method the four brothers use should be passed down by the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt. It comes from the same source as the sword Qi. I wonder if they can comprehend it successfully," Jianchen thought.
However, as soon as he thought of that, the four brothers' presences immediately became chaotic. They all vomited blood as their faces became extremely pale.
Jianchen arrived before the four brothers and raised his hand to use Radiant Saint Force to heal them. Although the four brothers suffered from a backlash, they were not too heavily injured. With Jianchen's abilities as a Class 9 Radiant Saint Master, the four brothers made a full recovery before long.
"What powerful sword Qi. I've never felt such powerful sword Qi before. I never thought that I wouldn't even have the right to comprehend it with my strength at the Origin realm," A 'Ah sighed. A 'Da exhaled deeply. He glanced at the sword slash on the Anatta Tower in lingering fear before immediately looking away. He no longer dared to try comprehending it.
Jianchen stared at the sword slashes. He did not tell the four brothers that the sword Qi had actually become much weaker after resisting the Anatta Tower for so long.
Afterwards.
The five of them circled around the Anatta Tower a few more times while the four brothers flew to the very top of the tower. They saw the four slashes that no longer contained any sword Qi, but they failed to benefit from it in the end.
