Aside from the Sky-Splitting Chant, Jianchen also found a Heaven Tier cultivation method in the Space Ring. Although it was also a Heaven Tier cultivation method, it was much more mediocre compared to battle skills. Changyang Prefecture and Kargath Academy each had one. Although that was the case, Jianchen didn't mind because a powerful clan definitely wouldn't only have one cultivation method.
Although almost everyone could only cultivate one cultivation method and battle skill, to a clan or a force, the more the better. After all, one cultivation method wasn't suitable for everyone.
There weren't many valuable items in the Space Ring left behind by the Holy King. There wasn't a single magic core or coin. They must have been left to the Qiangan Kingdom. Apart from a Heaven Tier battle skill and a Heaven Tier cultivation method, nothing else caught Jianchen's attention.
After putting away the Space Ring, Jianchen looked around the wooden house a few more times, but he didn't find anything. He didn't find any hidden compartments or secret passages. However, he discovered that after he put away the Holy King's skeleton, the powerful energy contained in the ironwood was rapidly dissipating. Although this small wooden hut was constructed from extremely sturdy ironwood, it was still unable to last forever in this dark and damp mountainside. Without the support of the Saint King skeleton's energy, once the energy within the ironwood completely dissipated, this ironwood hut that had existed for who knew how many years would also disappear from this world.
After that, Jianchen wandered around the wooden house again, but he still didn't find anything. He could only leave. Going out was much easier than going in. As soon as Jianchen stepped into the formation, he felt a fluctuation in the surrounding space. Then, he was directly teleported into the pitch-black passage with a diameter of three meters.
Jianchen took a deep breath and then walked out with a smile on his face. He thought to himself, 'The king of the Qiangan Kingdom didn't lie to me. This really is an intact Holy King's abode. Not only did I obtain a Holy King's skeleton that contains powerful energy, but there's also a Heaven Tier battle skill and a cultivation method.'
A light appeared in front of Jianchen. Jianchen quickly exited the cave that led to the abode and arrived above the cold pond at the bottom of the canyon.
However, at this moment, Jianchen's expression changed. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and then a faint cyan light flashed. His body had already moved five meters to the side.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Five whistles rang out as five powerful strands of sword Qi shot over from above. They passed through where Jian Chen had just been standing and shot into the lake below with a thunderous boom, kicking up a huge splash.
Jianchen's expression became very unsightly. He suddenly looked up and saw that five figures had appeared above him at an unknown time. The five attacks just now were launched by them.
The Wind Elemental Energy around Jianchen's body suddenly became stronger. His body shot into the sky like an arrow.
"Don't let him escape!" One of the five people in the sky immediately shouted. The five of them immediately formed a circle in the sky and sealed off all of Jianchen's escape routes. At the same time, five sword Qis shot at Jianchen.
Jianchen's eyes shone brightly. Five fire elemental swords quickly condensed in front of his chest. Then, they turned into five furious dragons that emitted intense heat and collided with the five sword Qis.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion erupted in the air. The surging energy and waves of fire wreaked havoc in the canyon. The powerful energy waves slammed into the walls on both sides and bounced back. This repeated over and over again, causing the walls to be damaged to the point where countless thick cracks appeared. The entire cliff shook violently. A large number of rocks fell down, falling into the cold pond below.
Jianchen charged up from the bottom of the cliff. He did not run away like the five Heaven Saint Masters thought he would. Instead, he came to the same height as them and floated there.
"Who are you?" Jianchen asked in a low voice. A strong killing intent flickered in his eyes. His sharp gaze slowly swept past the five people, but when Jianchen saw the two old men among them, his gaze suddenly froze. His eyes revealed an extremely shocked expression.
Jianchen's mind flashed back to a few years ago outside Wake City. He had accidentally bumped into Huang Luan, who was bathing in the river. The two powerful old men that Huang Luan had called Uncle Feng and Uncle Yun, were they not the two people in front of him? Although it had been a few years, Jianchen still recognized the two of them with a single glance.
"It's you!"
"It's actually you!"
When Jianchen saw the two Elders of Wind and Cloud, the two Elders of Wind and Cloud also recognized him. Their eyes immediately widened and their faces were filled with disbelief.
The three people in the surroundings noticed the expressions of the two Elders of Wind and Cloud. Someone immediately asked, "Elder Feng, Elder Yun, do you two know him?"
The two Elders of Wind and Cloud acted as if they did not hear the question. Their faces were filled with shock as they stared at the floating Jianchen. Their voices trembled as they asked, "Y- y- you've actually reached the realm of Heaven Saint Master." The two Elders of Wind and Cloud's hearts began to churn.
The two of them were not unfamiliar with Jianchen. They had an extremely deep impression of him. Back in Wake City, Jianchen, who was only a Great Saint, had taken advantage of their carelessness to 'peek' at their young lady Huang Luan bathing. This was also the first time their young lady Huang Luan's body had been exposed to a boy. Afterwards, when the two of them attacked Jianchen, they were injured by the Azulet Sword Spirits within Jianchen's body, which greatly shocked them.
Afterwards, during the Mercenary Tournament half a year ago, the two of them had witnessed Jianchen's performance in the ring. At that time, they were extremely shocked. A few years ago, Jianchen was only a Great Saint. They never thought that in just a short four to five years, he would soar to the realm of Earth Saint Master at an unbelievable speed. This rate of improvement was truly shocking.
Furthermore, they had learned from Huang Luan about Jianchen's performance in the Mercenary Tournament. It was said that the Huang family's treasure, the Sun Moon Bow, had almost been taken away by the Shi family. In the end, it was all thanks to Jianchen that the Huang family managed to keep the bow. Because of this, Jianchen had even offended the powerful Shi family.
And now, only half a year had passed. Jianchen, who had only been a First Cycle Earth Saint Master during the Mercenary Tournament, had suddenly soared to the realm of Heaven Saint Master at an even more terrifying rate. This rate of improvement left the two Elders of Wind and Cloud dumbfounded. They found it very difficult to accept.
"Elder Feng, Elder Yun, who is he? Do the two of you know him? "Another person asked.
The two Elders of Wind and Cloud took a deep breath and slowly calmed themselves down. Elder Feng said, "He is Jianchen, the Jianchen who obtained first place in this year's Mercenary Tournament."
"What? He is Jianchen? " Hearing this, the other three looked at Jianchen in surprise. Their eyes were filled with shock.
Those who could participate in the Mercenary Tournament could not be older than fifty years old. Since Jianchen was this year's Mercenary King, he was definitely younger than fifty years old. It had only been half a year since the Mercenary Tournament had ended. In other words, this young man in front of them had become a Heaven Saint Master before the age of fifty.
Across the entire Tian Yuan Continent, such a rapid rate of improvement could be considered a peerless genius.
"Jianchen, why are you here?" Elder Yun asked as he looked at Jianchen in surprise.
Jianchen stared at everyone emotionlessly and coldly said, "I should be the one asking you this. Why are you here? Why did you attack me earlier?"
Hearing this, Elder Yun looked at the entrance of the Saint King's dwelling. A gleam of light flashed through his eyes and he quickly understood the situation. His face immediately sank as he muttered to himself, "I never thought that the person the Heaven Saint Master from the Qiangan Kingdom was talking about was actually Jianchen."
Although Elder Yun's voice was very soft, Jianchen still heard it clearly. A strong killing intent flashed through his eyes as he asked in a deep voice, "Did Qiangan Yun tell you the location of the Saint King's dwelling?"
"Yes, it was indeed a Heaven Saint Master from the Qiangan Kingdom who told us about the Saint King's dwelling. In exchange, they told us to take a person's life." The middle-aged man expressionlessly said. His gaze towards Jianchen was cold.
Jianchen sneered as his gaze became colder and colder, "I never thought that the Qiangan Kingdom would play this game with me. The person they want you to kill must be me."
"Yes," the middle-aged man emotionlessly replied.
Jianchen glared at the middle-aged man and said, "Now that I'm here, what are you going to do?"
The middle-aged man was furious. He coldly snorted and said, "Since our Huang family has agreed to something, we will definitely do it. No matter who you are, stay here today."
"No!" The Wind and Cloud Brothers' expressions changed as they said, "Jianchen is a great benefactor to our Huang family. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been able to keep the Sun Moon Bow. It would have been taken away by the Shi family a long time ago. Moreover, he saved the young miss' life."
"Elder Yun, this is only the young miss' side of the story. We don't know what happened in the trial space, so we can't tell if it's true or not. Who can guarantee that the young miss is telling the truth?" The middle-aged man righteously countered.
"Then Shi Xiangran's death should be true." Elder Feng also opened his mouth. He was clearly on Jianchen's side.
"What can Shi Xiangran's death prove? Maybe it's a personal grudge between Jianchen and Shi Xiangran." The middle-aged man argued.
The Wind and Cloud Brothers glanced at each other as their expressions became extremely ugly. After knowing that the person they wanted to kill was Jianchen, the two of them had already changed their minds. Even if the Huang family's reputation would be damaged, they definitely wouldn't do anything to Jianchen. Not to mention Jianchen's talent, just his kindness to the Huang family was enough for them to do so. Moreover, there was an inexplicable relationship between him and Huang Luan.
