Jianchen stood ten kilometres away as he watched on coldly. Determination filled his face. This time, he had to obtain the Grand Exalt's cultivation method. No one could stop him, not even Primordial realm elders.
The difficulty of opening the miniature world with the Artifact Spirit was far greater than he had expected. The space at the bottom of the gorge twisted for an entire day, but it still did not open completely.
However, a fist-sized tunnel had appeared in the centre of the gorge.
The tunnel led to the World Gate that contained the legacy imprint of the master of the Tower of Radiance.
However, the tunnel was just too small right now. It was only the size of a fist, and it constantly twisted and collapsed. It was impossible for people to enter.
"Chang Yang, why are you here as well?" At this moment, Donglin Yan Xue arrived beside Jianchen with her eight retainers. She also stared at the distorted space in the gorge sternly. She said to Jianchen, "You have to be careful. No matter what happens, don't approach that place. Although your talent is unprecedented, your cultivation is still too weak. Once some unpredictable danger happens, it'll be very difficult for you to protect yourself. "
Donglin Yan Xue's voice was filled with concern.
Jianchen remained silent. He stared at the gorge closely and said nothing. He and Donglin Yan Xue were fated to be on different sides. If he became too involved, he might even end up dragging her down.
After all, he possessed Martial Soul Force and was a member of the Martial Soul lineage. The Martial Soul lineage was fated to be enemies with the Radiant Saint Hall.
At the same time, a majestic divine hall stood high above the clouds on the Desolate Plane in a sea of clouds. It seemed to be able to look down on the world.
Over a dozen people were gathered together in a sacred and majestic hall within the divine hall. There were both men and women of various ages, but without exception, every single one of them radiated with a terrifying presence that caused the stars to tremble.
These people were all peak experts who stood at the apex of a plane. They were supreme existences that could make the entire plane tremble with just a stomp of their feet.
Of course, they were not native to the Desolate Plane. Instead, they came from various places on the forty-nine great planes and eighty-one great planets of the Saints' World. They had all gathered together because of the Anatta Tower.
"After a few years of investigation, basically all the cultivators on the Desolate Plane have been investigated. We've peered into all the known Divine King and Infinite Primes, but we haven't found any traces of Jianchen …" A burly, golden-robed, middle-aged man said emotionlessly.
"No, there are still some missing. In the Divine King's Realm, three people entered a small world to train, and they still haven't come out. There are still six people below the level of the Divine King. Due to various reasons, we haven't been able to find them. If Jianchen is still in the Barren State, then he must be hiding among the nine. It's just that the nine of them all come from peak organisations on the Desolate Plane. We can't push these native organisations too hard. After all, our actions in the past few years have already infuriated them. We're just afraid that if we push them too hard, they'll retaliate. " An old woman said with a hoarse voice as soon as the golden-robed man finished speaking.
"We really can't push the native organisations on the Desolate Plane too hard. If they manage to persuade the Celestial Sword Saint and get him to appear, we'll be in big trouble …"
"I've studied the nine of them in detail. We've investigated three of them. They entered the miniature worlds under the control of their clans to train many years ago, so it's unlikely for them to be Jianchen. As for the remaining six, one of them is the great-grandson of a Chaotic Prime. He was once heavily injured, and only a damaged soul remains. As a result, it's impossible for him to be Jianchen … "
"In other words, the remaining five people are the most suspicious …"
"The final five people are from the Radiant Saint Hall, the North River Divine Sect, the Daoist Sect of Origin, the Chaoyang clan, and the Daohuang Empire …"
"It's just five organisations. Why don't we just pressure them and get them to hand over the five of them immediately so that we can investigate their identities …"
"I don't think that's a good idea. The people from the Daohuang Empire and the Chaoyang clan have already visited the Sword God Mountains several times, requesting the Celestial Sword Saint to appear. I think we shouldn't be too overbearing on the Desolate Plane, just in case we displease the Celestial Sword Saint. Everyone has personally witnessed the Celestial Sword Saint's strength. Is there anyone among you who can block a single strike from the Celestial Sword Saint? "
When these words were spoken, everyone fell into silence. They had become fearful of the Celestial Sword Saint ever since they visited the Sword God Mountains together and the Celestial Sword Saint had beheaded a peak expert in a single stroke.
It was also from then on that they began to hold back their arrogance. They no longer dared to act too recklessly on the Desolate Plane.
"In my opinion, we should split into five groups and wait in these five places. Once the five of them emerge from the miniature world, we'll immediately investigate them and learn their identities …" A white-robed old man suggested after a while of thought.
"That's the only thing we can do right now …"
…
The experts gathered there reached an agreement very soon, and they immediately set off in different directions.
On the surface, they had already formed an alliance, but that was only to fend off the native organisations on the Desolate Plane. Their objective was to find Jianchen from the sea of people. Once Jianchen appeared, their alliance would immediately disperse. They would compete for the Anatta Tower.
The leader of the Radiant Saint Hall sat on the throne with an ugly expression in the sacred hall that stood above the clouds. Below him sat the eight vice-leaders to his two sides.
At this moment, the eight vice-leaders sat there with sunken faces as well. They stared at the three men who stood in the centre very casually with ill intent.
"You want to remain here for long periods of time and wait for the disciple who hasn't undergone a blood test to come out? Hmph, what do you think our Radiant Saint Hall is? "The leader of the Radiant Saint Hall growled as he struggled to contain his anger.
The three men all possessed tremendous presences. They were experts on the same level as the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall.
"Please calm down, leader. We're only serving the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. We want to find Jianchen sooner so that we can return the Anatta Tower to the first majesty," the three men giggled. They did not care about the leader's fury at all.
"Chang Yang is a Radiant Saint Master. How can he be the Jianchen you're looking for? You've got the wrong person," Xuan Zhan said sternly. Xuan Zhan, one of the eight vice-hall masters, said in a deep voice. He was the only one among the eight vice-hall masters who dared to go against the three powerhouses.
This was because he was only a step away from that level of cultivation. No one knew when he would break through.
"Who said fighters can't become Radiant Saint Masters? Isn't the Martial Soul lineage the best example? Anyway, as long as they haven't been verified by us, they can be Jianchen in disguise. "
"Hmph, you're twisting words!" The leader snorted coldly.
