"Brother Jianchen, are we unable to find the Artifact Spirit?" Somewhere on the twelfth floor of the Cang Poseidon Palace, Xiao Man sat on the ground rather powerlessly. She used her hands to support her chin as she stared at Jianchen helplessly. Her pitiful appearance was heart-wrenching.
In the past few days, they had been to many places. Not only had Jianchen taken Xiao Man to every place on the twelfth floor, but they had even left their footprints on the eleventh floor below. They had tried everything they could think of to find the Artifact Spirit in different places, but it was to no avail.
It seemed like the method Xiao Man had used to disturb the Artifact Spirit the first time had completely failed.
Jianchen stood beside Xiao Man like a sword stabbed into the ground. An invisible sword intent radiated from him. At this moment, he raised his head to look at the pitch-black sky of the Cang Poseidon Palace. His gaze was extremely deep as he said softly, "Xiao Man, the Artifact Spirit of the Cang Poseidon Palace might have fallen."
"Hmph, little guy, who did you say had fallen?"
However, just when Jianchen had finished speaking, an old voice rang out from nowhere. It was filled with great dissatisfaction.
The sudden voice immediately shocked Jianchen. He turned his head and saw a short old man who was only four feet tall, barely reaching Jianchen's chest, appear beside Jianchen without any warning. He raised his head slightly and stared at Jianchen angrily.
Behind the old man was Xiao Man, who sat on the ground. The old man just happened to be standing between Jianchen and Xiao Man, separating the two of them.
"You are?" Jianchen's eyes narrowed as he stared at the old man in shock. This was because he could not sense any presence from the old man at all. When he scanned with his soul, there was no one before him. He could only discover his existence with his naked eye.
Jianchen knew the identity of the short old man in almost an instant. He had to be the Artifact Spirit of the Cang Poseidon Palace without a doubt.
"Little guy, watch what you say next time. If you say anything else, I'll make it so that you'll never be able to walk out of the Cang Poseidon Palace. I'll trap you here for the rest of your life," the short old man said angrily with a stern face. He was threatening Jian Chen.
Jianchen stared at the old man without saying anything.
Clearly, he was extremely surprised that the Artifact Spirit of the Cang Poseidon Palace Palace was still alive.
"You didn't die at the hands of the Samsaric Immortal Exalt?" After a while, Jianchen asked in surprise.
However, as soon as Jianchen said that, the short old man leapt up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He immediately jumped up from the ground and swung his hand towards Jianchen's head. He yelled furiously, "Little bastard, what are you saying? Do you know how to speak? Do you believe that I won't kill you with a single slap? In the Neptunean Divine Palace, I am the ruler. Does that old bastard from the Samsaric Samsaric want to kill me with just a clone? Little bastard, are you trying to piss me off or are you looking down on me? "
Jianchen's head was firmly slapped by the short old man. The short old man was the Artifact Spirit of the Cang Poseidon Palace. In the Cang Poseidon Palace, he was like a god. Jianchen could not resist at all.
Fortunately, the old man's slap did not contain any power, so although it landed firmly on Jianchen's head, it did not injure Jianchen.
"Uncle, are you the Artifact Spirit of the Cang Poseidon Palace?" Xiao Man also stood up from the ground and stared at the short old man in surprise. She was actually a head taller than the short old man when she stood there.
The short old man no longer paid any attention to Jianchen. He turned around and looked at Xiao Man. As he sensed the presence of Xiao Man's bloodline, his expression gradually became mixed. There was heavy sorrow as well.
"Correct, I am the Artifact Spirit of the Cang Poseidon Palace." The short old man admitted his identity. He looked at Xiao Man with extremely mixed feelings and said, "Back then, after the Samsaric Immortal Exalt destroyed the Daoist Sect of Neptunea, I fell into a slumber due to my heavy injuries. Even now, I still haven't completely recovered. If it weren't for master's bloodline, which awakened me with master's bloodline, I probably would have remained in a slumber for a very long time. "
"However, I never thought that the Samsaric Immortal Exalt would actually leave behind a clone of his soul in the divine palace. As a result, as soon as I awakened from my slumber a few years ago, I was attacked by the Samsaric Immortal Exalt. He originally wanted to disperse my consciousness and take the Cang Poseidon Palace for himself. The Samsaric Immortal Exalt was powerful, one of the five Grand Exalts of the Immortals' World, but he only left behind a clone of his soul. He was dreaming if he wanted to disperse my consciousness with just a clone … "said the Artifact Spirit of the Cang Poseidon Palace. As soon as he mentioned the Samsaric Immortal Exalt, he gritted his teeth and was filled with hatred.
Xiao Man remained silent. As soon as she heard the Artifact Spirit mention the Samsaric Immortal Exalt, she could not help but think of her parents. After entering the Cang Poseidon Palace, she already knew that the deaths of her parents were inextricably linked to the Samsaric Immortal Exalt.
"Your father should have been my master's only grandson. Although my master was an expert who stood at the apex of the Saints' World and was only second to Grand Exalts, he had extremely few descendants. He only had a son and a grandson. In the past, when the Samsaric Immortal Exalt attacked the Daoist Sect of Neptunea, only his grandson was forcefully sent away by my master with his abilities. He severed his bloodline connection, which was why he was able to avoid the disaster back then. "
"However, the Samsaric Immortal Exalt was just too powerful. He grasped the Way of Karma, so he could find all the disciples scattered across the entire Saints' World through the connections between the disciples of the Daoist Sect of Neptunea effortlessly. His power of samsara only needed to extend through the threads of karma, so no matter how far away they were, they would not be able to escape death."
"The grandson sent away by my master, your father, was also found by the Samsaric Immortal Exalt through the Way of Karma. Although my master discovered it in time and interfered with it with the power of the ways, forcefully severing all the threads of karma on his grandson from afar, he was still a step too late. A strand of the Samsaric Immortal Exalt's power of samsara had already extended through the threads of karma. "
The Artifact Spirit of the Cang Poseidon Palace sighed gloomily. She looked at Xiao Man with mixed feelings and said, "You can already imagine the result. Although your father's cultivation was not weak in the past, the difference was just too great when compared to the Samsaric Immortal Exalt. Not only would his cultivation regress after being corroded by the power of samsara, but he would also age day by day. His vitality would rapidly drain away."
"However, since your father was able to last until now and even leave behind the power of your bloodline, it must be said that it's a miracle. The Samsaric Immortal Exalt is one of the five Grand Exalts of the Immortals' World. Due to master's interference, there's only an extremely tiny amount of the power of samsara he left in your father's body. However, logically speaking, it's impossible for your father to last until now. It looks like someone has helped your father in the past as well. "A sliver of surprise appeared in the Artifact Spirit's eyes.
Xiao Man was already covered in tears when she heard about her parents' deaths again. She sobbed softly and gritted her teeth, "My father, mother, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all killed by the Samsaric Immortal Exalt. He's an evil person, a great evil person. If I have enough strength in the future, I will definitely take revenge for my father, mother, grandfather, and great-grandfather that I've never met. I'll kill my enemy with my own hands."
At this moment, a seed of hatred had been planted in Xiao Man's heart. The Samsara Immortal Venerate had killed her entire family, so her hatred for the Samsara Immortal Venerate was extremely deep.
