Now that vice-leader Xuan Zhan had appeared, Jianchen knew that he could not remain on the Desolate Plane regardless of whether Xuan Zhan would leak information about him or not. He immediately clasped his fist at the three of them and said, "Yan Xue, Bai Yu, teacher, take care. I'll be taking my leave first." Afterwards, he looked at Bai Yu and Han Xin with mixed feelings. He said seriously, "Perhaps we will become enemies in the future, but no matter what happens to our identities, you will always be my junior sister and teacher. Farewell!"
With that, Jianchen left without even looking back.
Donglin Yan Xue was reluctant to part with Jianchen as she watched him leave. She followed him without any hesitation, "Let me send you off. If Xuan Ming targets you, my protector sword can keep him busy."
"Let's return to Donglin City. There's a teleportation formation that can cross planes in Donglin City."
"Xuan Ming!" Jianchen sighed emotionally when he heard this name again. Although he had only met Xuan Ming by chance, they were still acquaintances after all. He never thought that Xuan Ming would treat him like this when they met again today, which disappointed Jianchen very much.
However, this was related to a Grand Exalt's cultivation method after all. Before such a peak cultivation method, let alone his simple relationship with Xuan Ming, even many close friends who had gone through life and death with him would probably fight to the bitter end.
"Father, why are you taking me away? The Method of the Exalted Saint is with Jianchen. That's a cultivation method of the highest level in the world. Once you obtain it, you'll be on the verge of ascension. Even if you don't become a Grand Exalt, you'll be someone who can shake up an entire world." Xuan Ming looked at his father reluctantly in the Divine Sacred Hall that stood above the clouds within the Radiant Saint Hall.
Now that he had become a protector of the Radiant Saint Hall, both his status and strength were completely different from before. With such a great status, he already possessed the right to fight for even greater benefits for himself. The Method of the Exalted Saint happened to be something that he was extremely interested in.
Xuan Zhan stared at the pitiful Xuan Ming and sighed gently, "Ming 'er, is a protector sword enough to make you lose your mind? You have to understand that the power from the protector swords is only external. Since the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance can bestow the protector swords to you, the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance can take them back as well. Once you lose your protector swords, do you think you still have the power to protect the Grand Exalt's cultivation method? "
Hearing this, Xuan Ming immediately calmed down. He understood that everything he had now was brought to him by the Protector Swords.
"Since the protector swords, they won't leave me so easily," Xuan Ming became a bit more. Xuan Ming also felt a little afraid. If a person had great power and became a high and mighty existence, then he would definitely not be able to accept losing this power and becoming a loser who was chased off the throne by someone else.
Xuan Zhan shook his head, "You're wrong. All of you believe the protector swords have chosen you, but in reality, the protector swords aren't the ones that have chosen you. Instead, it's the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance."
"Whoever the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance wants to become the master of a protector sword will become the protector. Otherwise, how could Bai Yu and Han Xin possess a protector sword with just their talent? Moreover, the protector swords would rank higher than the two of us. They're not descendants of Grand Exalts. "
Xuan Zhan had already made it so clear. If Xuan Ming still did not understand, he would be far too foolish.
"Father, are you saying that we obtained the protector swords all because of Jianchen?" Xuan Ming paled in fright. Disbelief filled his face.
Xuan Zhan did not give a direct answer. He said sternly, "The Tower of Radiance has been silent for such a long time, yet something just happened to happen when Jian Chen entered, awakening the artifact spirit from its slumber. In the past, when Jianchen and Gongsun Zhi fought over the Grand Exalt's legacy in the miniature world, the gateway to the miniature world suddenly closed after Jianchen left, trapping all the Divine King of Radiance inside. Aside from Gongsun Zhi who's a descendant of the Grand Exalt, the other five wielders all have some connection to Jianchen. Don't you think that's a little too much of a coincidence? "
Xuan Ming sank into his thoughts when he heard that. His gaze changed as he became surprised and doubtful. He was extremely shocked.
"Ming 'er, you better cultivate peacefully from now on. Don't worry about anything else. Don't even think about the Method of the Exalted Saint. Even if you obtain it, you'll become mortal enemies with Gongsun Zhi. Gongsun Zhi is a descendant of the Grand Exalt, and he has obtained other legacies apart from the cultivation method. Logically speaking, it's perfectly justifiable for him to obtain the cultivation method, "Xuan Zhan said with mixed feelings. He hesitated for quite a while, but he still did not tell Xuan Ming that the Martial Soul lineage was an imperial clan in the end.
He did not plan on letting a third person know about this shocking news, just in case the Radiant Saint Hall was thrown into an uproar.
"I- did I do something wrong? Have I really been blinded by greed? "Xuan Ming could not help but ask himself at this moment.
.....
Jianchen left the Desolate Plane successfully through the teleportation formation in Donglin City. Afterwards, he travelled without stopping, teleporting along the way and returning to the Martial Soul Mountain in the shortest amount of time possible. He told the seven other successors of the Martial Soul lineage everything he had learnt.
"If the three protector swords don't target us and only guard the Desolate Plane, the pressure we face will be reduced drastically," the other members of the Martial Soul lineage all let out a sigh of relief after hearing Jianchen's news.
"The only problem is Xuan Zhan. Xuan Zhan is already extremely powerful. Coupled with a protector sword, he's basically like a tiger that has grown wings. I have to admit that no one in our Martial Soul lineage is Xuan Zhan's opponent anymore," Hun Zang said sternly as he frowned heavily.
"Since we're not his opponent, we'll just guard the Martial Soul Mountain to the death. As long as we stay on the Martial Soul Mountain, even if Xuan Zhan has a protector sword, he won't be able to break through," said Su Qi's eldest sister. The Martial Soul Mountain was the final line of defence for the Martial Soul lineage. Unless they encountered a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime like the Heaven-splitting Ancestor, no one in the Saints' World could break through the Martial Soul Mountain.
"I hope our Martial Soul lineage can produce a ninth successor as soon as possible. Once the nine successors gather, our Martial Soul lineage will usher in an unprecedented age of prosperity. We'll reign supreme in the Saints' World. After all, the records clearly state that when the nine successors appeared, our Martial Soul lineage could even contend against Grand Exalts, "said Chu Jian eagerly.
