Time passed silently. After who knew how long, Jianchen slowly woke up.
The moment he woke up, he felt like his head was about to explode. An indescribable pain filled his head as his head ached.
Over two-thirds of his soul had collapsed on the Bridge of Life and Death. Not only was his soul heavily injured, but it had also become unprecedentedly weak.
Jianchen endured the heart-wrenching pain and dizziness in his head as he slowly opened his eyes. Immediately, the majestic outline of a hall appeared before him.
"This is … the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng?" Jianchen murmured. He was powerless, and his voice was feeble. He tried his best to remember everything that had happened before. Vaguely, he seemed to remember that he had taken the hundredth step successfully.
"I should've … successfully made it through … the Bridge of Life and Death." Jianchen said by himself. His voice was broken, and he needed to stop and catch his breath every time he said a few words.
"No, my body …" Very soon, Jianchen seemed to sense something. He suddenly looked at his body, and when he saw that his body was unscathed, his eyes immediately narrowed. He became confused and filled with disbelief.
He clearly remembered that his body had been heavily injured under the combined attacks of the Laws of Fire and the Laws of Destruction. Not only was there no skin, but a large portion of his flesh and bones had vanished as well. As a matter of fact, his limbs were incomplete.
However, looking at it now, his body was actually unscathed!
Of course, this was only the surface of his body. His internal injuries were still a mess.
It was not just his body. He immediately discovered that his chaotic neidan, which should have shattered, was actually as good as before. It was just much smaller in size, and the Chaotic Force was much weaker as well.
The series of changes and abnormalities immediately stunned Jianchen.
However, he seemed to think of something very soon. He suddenly looked towards the depths of the hall. A figure that seemed like a god immediately entered Jianchen's vision as he sat in the air and was enveloped by the light of the ways.
Without thinking, Jianchen knew the identity of the person in front of him. He immediately stood up from the ground with difficulty. This movement naturally affected the injuries in his body, causing him to grit his teeth in pain.
He endured the intense pain from his soul and body as he bowed deeply towards the Anatta Grand Exalt, "Junior Jianchen greets the Grand Exalt!"
However, the Anatta Grand Exalt did not reply at all.
"Junior Jianchen greets Your Highness Grand Exalt!" With no other choice, Jianchen could only bow a second time.
The Anatta Grand Exalt still did not respond to the second bow.
"Your majesty …" For a moment, Jianchen was rather at a loss. The Grand Exalt's thoughts were unfathomable. He had no idea why the Anatta Grand Exalt was ignoring him.
Could it be that the level he was standing on was too low and could not enter the eyes of the Grand Venerable?
However, it made sense when he thought about it. With his meager strength, he was no different from an ant before the Anatta Grand Exalt.
Was there a need for a sovereign to pay any attention to an ant's bow?
After thinking through this, Jianchen immediately stopped wasting his breath. He directly took out the crystal coffin that held Fairy Haoyue and cut straight to the chase. He said in a pleading tone, "Junior has crossed the Bridge of Life and Death to see the Grand Exalt because I have a request. I hope the Grand Exalt can save my friend."
This time, the Anatta Grand Exalt finally stopped remaining silent. She said in a dignified voice, "On the Bridge of Life and Death, you endured pain that only extraordinary people could endure. You experienced great challenges that extraordinary people could face. You paid a huge price, barely making it through the Bridge of Life and Death. Are you only asking me to save this person after paying such a great price?"
"You're absolutely right, your majesty. Junior went through all the trials just to save someone," Jianchen said.
After a moment of silence, the Anatta Grand Exalt said, "You've successfully crossed the Bridge of Life and Death, but you only have a single chance to see me. It doesn't mean I can fulfill your request."
"Junior naturally understands that. I just hope that the Grand Exalt can save my friend for the sake of my efforts in returning the Anatta Tower. This is because she's been injured by the Laws of Fire from the Flame Venerable. She doesn't have much time left. Your majesty, you're the only person who can save her, "Jian Chen begged bitterly. This was the first time he had begged someone like this.
However, this matter was related to Fairy Haoyue's life, so it was not up to him to decide. He had to grasp this final chance.
"No matter where the tower is, I can take it back with a single thought. No expert can stop me, so why do I need you to return it?" The Anatta Grand Exalt's cold, emotionless voice rang out. She did not give him any face at all.
Jianchen was immediately speechless when he heard that. He was stunned for a moment.
He knew that his contributions in returning the Anatta Tower would not necessarily be recognised by the Anatta Grand Exalt. After all, the contributions had been promised by the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.
However, he had never thought that after going through so much trouble and risking his life to return the Anatta Tower, his actions would actually be so worthless in the eyes of the Anatta Grand Exalt.
Back then, he had spent so much effort and even paid with his life, yet in the end, all his efforts were laughable and childish in the eyes of the Anatta Grand Exalt.
Caia had even died to the hands of the Elder of Mountains and Seas.
At that moment, Jianchen actually felt sorrowful.
However, he had to suppress all his emotions at this moment. He bowed deeply towards the Anatta Grand Exalt again and pleaded, "Junior is willing to use a rare treasure in exchange for a chance for the Grand Exalt to take action." Now that things had developed like this, Jianchen had no other choice. He was already prepared to take out the fortune jade.
Fortune jade was extremely rare, and it possessed the ability to block all senses. Only the naked eye could discover it. As a result, he believed that even with the Anatta Grand Exalt's heaven-defying ability to see through all lies, she would not know that he possessed a treasure like the fortune jade.
"Apart from the Fruit of Ways and Chaotic Ancient Qi from the chaotic space, there are no other treasures in the world that can catch my attention. Even if you can take out a complete supreme god artifact, I still won't take it seriously because I have no use for supreme god artifacts that don't suit me. "
"Both the Fruit of Ways and Chaotic Ancient Qi are items that have surpassed God Tier materials. Do you have the Fruit of Ways and Chaotic Ancient Qi on you?" The Anatta Grand Exalt's words were like a bucket of cold water that splashed Jianchen's heart. It immediately chilled him.
