Hei Ya immediately paused when he heard that. He seemed troubled. Submitting to Jianchen was equivalent to betraying the fifth prince.
"You're not willing?" Jianchen's voice sank.
"I …" Hei Ya hesitated. After a moment of silence, he finally made up his mind when he thought about how Jianchen could easily kill Bai Qi and Bai He when he had just reached the Divine King realm. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's not impossible for me to submit to you, but you have to ensure that the fifth prince and his group can't leave the Blue Poseidon Palace. Otherwise, if the fifth prince learns that I've betrayed him, my clan will be destroyed."
"If you can't do that, I'd rather die by your hands than bring disaster to my clan." Hei Ya had no feelings for the fifth prince at all. This was because when he became the fifth prince's guard, he had not done it willingly. Instead, the fifth prince had threatened him with his clan and forced him to join. As a result, he had always resented the fifth prince.
"Alright, I promise you." Jianchen agreed without any hesitation. Hei Ya's innate ability truly delighted him. It would come in handy sooner or later. Moreover, he had killed Bai Qi and Bai He, so he had already become enemies with the fifth prince. The fifth prince would definitely not let this matter rest, so they would fight sooner or later.
Afterwards, Hei Ya immediately swore his loyalty to Jianchen. However, he also made it clear before he swore that as long as Jianchen did not get rid of the fifth prince, he would not be considered one of Jianchen's people.
"I need to leave first and find a place to hide. I can't let the fifth prince know that I've betrayed him. Otherwise, once he leaves the Poseidon Palace alive, my clan will be done for," Hei Ya said sternly.
"Just stay in the Neptunean Mountains. You'll be very safe here. No one will be able to threaten you. If the fifth prince's group finds their way here, they'll be dead for sure even if they have the protection of experts like the Divine King," said Master Chanlong.
Hei Ya looked at Chanlong. He could not help but think of the scene where Bai He's orchid had exploded for no reason. He asked fearfully, "Were you the one who secretly helped me escape earlier?"
Master Chanlong nodded.
"Alright, I'll stay in the Neptunean Mountains for now," Hei Ya agreed in an extremely straightforward manner.
Afterwards, Hei Ya found a cave nearby and used it as a temporary dwelling. Jianchen looked at Chanlong and asked, "Looks like you've come across a fortuitous encounter here as well. Even I was surprised by how you killed the orchid, and I failed to notice anything when you stopped Hei Ya from escaping."
Chanlong exhaled deeply and said, "I did come across a fortuitous encounter. Jianchen, would you believe me if I told you that I can kill Primordial realm experts effortlessly here?"
Jianchen's eyes shone brightly as he stared at Chanlong. He was extremely stern as he stared at him seriously. Only after quite a while did he say, "I believe you can do it, but why do you suddenly possess such great strength?"
"I can control the Grand Exalt's formation in the Neptunean Mountains. The entire region has become my territory," Chanlong did not hide anything from Jianchen, telling him the truth.
Jianchen's eyes narrowed in shock when he heard that. He struggled to maintain his composure.
After quite a while, he sucked in a deep breath and slowly calmed down. He stared at the severed limbs of the orchid. He knew that the orchid had been slain by the Grand Exalt's formation under Chanlong's control.
Suddenly, Jianchen's eyes narrowed. With a flash, he appeared in the severed limbs of the orchid. He discovered a thumb-sized seed in one of the severed roots. It shone with a hazy light as it nurtured a powerful presence of life. It was extraordinary.
"Hmm? Master, this is the Immortal Devouring Orchid," at this moment, the sword spirits' voices rang out in Jianchen's head.
"The Immortal Devouring Orchid is a product of the Immortals' World. It can only be produced in the Immortals' World. This orchid can cultivate by devouring all living things. It grows at an extremely shocking rate. It's an extremely special life form, and it's extremely rare even in the Immortals' World. Many large sects and organisations will carefully nurture an Immortal Devouring Orchid as a guardian spirit, "said the sword spirits.
"Although the Immortals' World and the Saints' World are enemies, there are still some people who will cross over. The Immortal Devouring Orchid came from the Immortals' World. It's just that many people in the Saints' World don't recognise the Immortal Devouring Orchid, nor do they know its true value. Otherwise, it would have never been buried like this. "
"Now that the Immortal Devouring Orchid is dead, only a seed remains," Jianchen shook his head and sighed gently.
"Master, the Immortal Devouring Orchid is born from a seed. The seed in your hand is equivalent to a descendant of the Immortal Devouring Orchid. Master, drop a droplet of blood on the seed so that it possesses your presence. That way, once the seed matures, it will treat you as its only master. At the same time, master's blood is the blood of chaos, so once the Immortal Devouring Orchid fuses with your blood, it will evolve even further. The Immortal Devouring Orchid is a special life form. It grows extremely quickly, so I believe it will become a great assistance to master very soon. " Qing Suo's gentle and clear voice rang out in Jianchen's head, urging him to drip a droplet of blood on the seed as soon as possible.
Jianchen did not drip a droplet of blood on the seed immediately. Instead, he asked Chanlong for the seed. After all, Chanlong had killed the Immortal Devouring Orchid, so logically speaking, it should belong to him.
"Since you're interested in the seed, feel free to take it." Chanlong did not care at all. In reality, he had travelled with Jianchen from the Cloud Plane, going through trials and tribulations together. They had gone through who knew how many battles of life and death together. They had truly crossed mountains of corpses and seas of blood, so they had already established a deep friendship.
Jianchen no longer hesitated. He dripped a droplet of chaotic blood on the seed without any hesitation. The blood immediately fused with the seed silently.
After absorbing the droplet of chaotic blood, the pulses of life within the Immortal Devouring Orchid clearly surged. It shone with even brighter light.
"The seed really is undergoing a transformation. This transformation will probably last for a few days," Jianchen could not help but secretly feel eager as he sensed the changes within the seed. He knew that the sword spirits would not speak without thinking. Since they had said that the seed would become a great assistance to him very soon, the seed might really bring him a pleasant surprise.
"Jianchen, what's happened here?" At this moment, Caia emerged from the cave. He frowned when he saw the corpses of Bai Qi and Bai He as well as the blood on Jianchen.
"Caia, you've broken through to the Divine King as well." Jianchen stared at Caia and immediately became overjoyed. He told Caia everything that had just happened.
Caia's eyes turned cold after learning about the entire situation. He sneered, "The fifth prince really is ignorant. Does he think that he can do whatever he wants with his measly strength?"
Jianchen's face stiffened. He stared at Caia blankly and asked in concern, "Caia, are you fine?" For some reason, the current Caia actually seemed rather unfamiliar to Jianchen. His voice that was filled with coldness actually possessed a sense of superiority, as if he looked down on everyone in the world.
Almost fifty Divine King had gathered around the fifth prince, as well as mister Shu who wielded a god artifact. This was already a rather powerful force, yet it was only 'measly' in Caia's words.
According to Jianchen's understanding, Caia was not someone like that. Even if she was powerful enough to crush the fifth prince and the others, she would not say something like that.
Chanlong also stared at Caia in surprise and doubt. Although he had not known Caia for very long, he knew what kind of person Caia was and what kind of personality she had. Chanlong also found Caia's words to be rather unfamiliar.
However, there was also a sense of familiarity within this unfamiliarity, as if this was how it should be, which made Chanlong feel conflicted.
