Xu Ran could not help but smile faintly. As she chatted with Jianchen, she glanced past Ming Dong, who stood beside Jianchen, and Ming Xie, who stood beside Ming Dong. Her eyes were filled with mixed emotions.
She had already learnt Ming Dong's true identity, so she fell silent.
In the past, she could have been as glorious as Ming Dong, possessing an extremely great identity and background. Her future was bright, but all of that had been shattered by the incident caused by her master.
"Senior Xu, I obtained some hell water when I destroyed the Gloomwater sect. Please accept this droplet of hell water," Jianchen immediately took out a droplet of hell water and passed it to Xu Ran in a jade bottle of high quality.
Xu Ran did not turn him down. She stowed the hell water away and said, "Hell water is good stuff. In particular, it has wondrous effects and nourishes the soul. It's even effective on Grand Primes. It's extremely rare in the Saints' World, where it's priceless. A single droplet is hard to come by, so don't waste it recklessly. You have to use it wisely."
Jianchen nodded. He had already understood the effects of hell water, but he felt that the legends were slightly exaggerated. After all, he had ingested hell water before and discovered that it was quite effective, but it was not as great as the legends said.
"The main effect of hell water is towards the soul. My soul has fused with a droplet of true Chaotic Force, so it has undergone a qualitative change. Is that the reason why the effects of hell water are greatly reduced?" Jianchen thought. He could not help but become suspicious.
If that really was the case, he did not plan on ingesting the remaining droplets of hell water. Otherwise, he would not be able to unleash the full effects of hell water. It would be far too wasteful.
The light in the eyes of protector Xue and the three other Primordial realm experts who had come to stop Jianchen behind Jianchen all flickered when they heard about hell water.
He revealed a burning and thirsty expression.
The Aqua Plane was just too far away from the Cloud Plane, so they had never heard of the peak sect on the Aqua Plane, the Gloomwater sect. However, the specialty of the Aqua Plane, hell water, was renowned in the Saints' World. It was a rare soul treasure, so they all coveted it.
A droplet of hell water was enough for Infinite Primes like them to fight tooth and nail over it. It could lead to a bloody battle between Primordial realm experts. However, they did not dare to act rashly in the Tianyuan family.
After a simple exchange of greetings, Xu Ran directly left and returned to the independent area that the Tianyuan family had specially allocated for her to cultivate in seclusion.
At her level of cultivation, she was basically detached from worldly affairs and didn't care about the mortal world. Therefore, she never asked about or paid attention to the various matters within the Tianyuan family. She only needed to sit here, and everything was enough. Only when something big happened would she be alarmed.
After Xu Ran left, Jianchen and the others arrived in the Tianyuan family. They entered the majestic and dignified discussion hall and learned about the current situation of the Tianyuan family from everyone.
"Brother, you deal with the matters of the clan first. I'll be leaving first. We'll catch up after you're done with the matters of the clan."
Jianchen sat down on the patriarch's seat casually and naturally in the discussion hall. The other senior members and upper echelon of the Tianyuan family all sat to the two sides of him quietly, forming a line towards the entrance.
Ming Dong was a carefree person, so he was rather unaccustomed to a situation like this. As a result, he took his leave early and left with Ming Xie.
Xi Yu took the initiative to stand forward and report the exact situation of the Tianyuan family to Jianchen.
"Currently, our Tianyuan family has recruited over a hundred and fifty Divine King experts and eighteen Primordial realm experts above the Divine King realm. Ten of them are early Infinite Primes, five are mid Infinite Primes, and only three are late Infinite Primes …"
"Moreover, our Tianyuan family has created an army of ten thousand people. They're all Gods and above, and a third of them are Overgods. We've named the army the Sword God Army, and Nubis is the commander of the Sword God Army …"
"The closest empire, the Heavenly Moon Empire, wants to ally with our Pingtian Empire, but we've turned them down. However, the Heavenly Moon Empire has given us three high grade divine crystal mines …"
.....
Over the past few decades, the Tianyuan family had truly changed drastically. Xi Yu recounted everything in detail for several hours. Only then did she manage to describe the current Tianyuan family.
Xi Yu returned to her seat after reporting and stopping her vomiting. Jian Chen, on the other hand, sank into his thoughts as if he had a lot on his mind.
He had returned after several decades, but he also understood that he could no longer see some of his old friends from the Tianyuan family.
Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling had left with a mysterious old man. There had been no news of them since then, and their whereabouts were unknown.
Jianchen knew about their situation. They had probably returned to Mo Tianyun's side.
Moreover, Ruijin, Honglian, and Black Fish, the three seniors who had protected him on the Tian Yuan Continent, had left the Tianyuan family many years ago to train. They had yet to return, and there was no news of them as well.
The White Tiger, whom he had basically watched grow up, had also left the Tianyuan family and gone to a distant place to train. There was still no news of him.
"Sigh." After quite a while, Jianchen let out a long sigh. His voice was filled with melancholy, reminiscence, and yearning.
The Tianyuan family had completely stabilized now. They had become powerful, but how many of his acquaintances and friends who had come to the Saints' World with him from the Tian Yuan Continent were still around?
As a matter of fact, he did not even know if he would be able to see them again in the dangerous Saints' World.
In particular, Ruijin, Honglian, and Black Fish were seniors who had helped Jianchen greatly. If anything happened to them, Jianchen would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.
At this moment, a divine hall appeared in Jianchen's hand. Hei Ya was roused from cultivating in the divine hall by Jianchen, and he walked out.
"Master!" Hei Ya clasped his fist at Jianchen politely.
"Hei Ya, look through these people one by one. Remember their presences," said Jianchen.
"Yes, master!"
At this moment, Nubis said from his seat lazily, "Jianchen, there's one more thing that can't be ignored. When Ming Dong came to the Tianyuan family, he gave us a tremendous amount of cultivation resources and legacy cultivation methods. That little bastard sure is free, tossing such a great amount of wealth to us so that we can deal with it ourselves. He just has a Chaotic Prime guard with him as he travels around with that princess of some empire. His life is as happy as it can be, but it's been hard on us. The distribution of these resources and legacies has caused a great controversy in the Tianyuan family. "
"We obviously have to take care of the founding members of the Tianyuan family. No matter what their talent is, we can't lack the resources and legacies. However, in the eyes of the people who joined our Tianyuan family later on, we're being unfair. The weaker people obviously don't dare to say it out loud, but the Primordial realm experts we've recruited make it rather obvious. They say things like cultivation needs, unhealed injuries, problems with their cultivation methods, or things they need to break through. In short, a few Primordial realm experts use various excuses to ask for resources and legacies. If we refuse to give them to them, they'll keep a straight face, or if they're in a bad mood, they'll directly unleash the pressure of a Primordial realm expert, immobilizing you …"
