The sky was clear and cloudless with a gentle breeze. The golden sun emitted a dazzling golden light that illuminated the entire Tian Yuan Continent, bringing light and warmth to the world.
Thousands of meters high in the sky, Jianchen and Wang Yifeng flew through the air at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, they had disappeared from the horizon.
"Jianchen, you really are too strong. I never thought that a Saint Ruler would be killed by you. Although I was unable to witness this shocking battle with my own eyes, I was still shocked by the scene. That earth-shattering sound, that earth-shattering scene, I even felt that the world was about to be destroyed by you." Wang Yifeng's expression was filled with excitement as he spoke non-stop. "The strength of a Saint Ruler is indeed very strong. It is not something that can be defeated by a human. Today, I have finally witnessed it. In the future, I, Wang Yifeng, will have the face to brag about it. A battle between Saint Rulers is something that is hard to come by even in a hundred years."
Jianchen chuckled. "You think too highly of me. A Saint Ruler is not so easy to kill. Although the battle between me and the Saint Ruler of the Jiede family was very intense, the two of us were evenly matched. Neither of us could do anything to the other. The Saint Ruler of the Jiede family was not killed by me."
"That's still very impressive. Jian Chen, you don't seem to be as old as me right now, but I never thought you'd already become a Saint Ruler. Your future accomplishments are limitless. It's my fortune to be able to follow you. I'll definitely be able to live a good life in the future." Wang Yifeng said with a cheeky smile. To be able to follow a Saint Ruler was something that he was very happy about.
Suddenly, Wang Yifeng seemed to have thought of something. His expression tensed up as he nervously looked at Jianchen and said, "Oh right, Jianchen, you cannot abandon me. Although I am only a Second Cycle Earth Saint Master, my potential is not weak. I am only 35 years old and can be considered a genius in the Tian Yuan Continent. Breaking through to the Heaven Saint Master realm is a matter of time. The only thing I lack is time. I can even reach the Saint Ruler realm."
"If you are willing to join my mercenary group, I will naturally not abandon you. But I have to make it clear that following me is not necessarily a good thing. Although I am not weak, my future opponents will be even stronger. They are not to be trifled with." Jianchen said in a light tone.
"Haha, I don't care about that. Who knows what will happen in the future. However, I, Wang Yifeng, will definitely follow you." Wang Yifeng laughed as he spoke, as if he was determined to stick to Jian Chen.
Afterward, Jianchen returned to Mercenary City with Wang Yifeng. First, he told Wang Yifeng to wait for him in the city. Afterward, he chatted with Xiao Ling a little before leaving. He flew toward Longevity Valley.
At the same time, a burly, stocky, middle-aged man sat in a secret room with a cold expression in a first class city of the kingdom closest to Mercenary City.
"Esteemed sir, we have already investigated the information you requested." An old man sat across from the middle-aged man in the secret room with a professional smile.
"Speak! If the information is reliable, I will reward you handsomely. "The middle-aged man's eyes lit up as he said coldly.
As soon as he heard that there would be a reward, the old man's smile grew even wider. The thick wrinkles on his face crumpled into a ball, and he quickly said: "Esteemed sir, after our Lost Tracks Sect's investigation, we have already gained a preliminary understanding of Jianchen's movements. After experiencing that shocking incident in Mercenary City, he stayed in Mercenary City for another month before leaving. A few days later, he appeared in a first class city of the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom, wiping out a powerful family, causing great damage to the entire city. He probably used a Heaven Tier Battle Skill …"
The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently and said: "Don't tell me such useless nonsense. Get to the point, I just want to know his whereabouts."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The old man hurriedly replied. Sorting out his thoughts, he said: "Since Jianchen is a Heaven Saint Master, he travels by air, so we are unable to follow him. We only know that he returned to Mercenary City with someone two days ago, but he did not stay for long before leaving. He seems to have gone to the Cross Mountains."
"The Cross Mountains!" A gleam of light flashed through the middle-aged man's eyes as he murmured, "Why did he go there?"
"Esteemed sir, Jianchen only left in the direction of the Cross Mountains. We cannot guarantee where he will go or whether he will change his route midway. However, I can guarantee you that as soon as we learn of Jianchen's location, we will contact you as soon as possible." The old man continued.
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and threw a bulging bag of money onto the table. He said coldly: "This is your reward. Remember, you must track Jianchen with all your strength. As soon as he leaves Mercenary City, contact me as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The old man hurriedly replied. He immediately picked up the bag of money on the table and opened it. Immediately, a violet light shone out. The old man's smile became even more enchanting when he saw this.
…
Jianchen returned to Longevity Valley by himself. Now that the matters outside had been temporarily dealt with, he planned on staying in Longevity Valley and waiting for Little Fatty's return. At the same time, he could properly familiarize himself with his newly obtained Chaotic Force.
As for the Shi family, with their ancestor dead, the remaining Heaven Saint Masters no longer posed any threat to Jianchen. They would not be able to cause any trouble. At the same time, his current strength was equivalent to a Saint Ruler. As his strength increased, his insight had increased as well. He no longer took the Shi family seriously after they had lost their Saint Ruler, so he could not be bothered to make another trip to deal with their remaining forces. He planned on letting the Flame Mercenaries train their troops once they grew stronger.
After returning to Longevity Valley, Jianchen exchanged some pleasantries with the villagers. Afterward, he temporarily settled down in a wooden hut under Xiu Mi's arrangements.
In the evening, Jianchen ate dinner with Xiu Mi and his wife before directly locking himself up in the wooden hut. Jianchen sat on the bed like a statue in the pitch-black hut. He was currently learning more about Chaotic Force from the sword spirits.
"Master, your current Chaotic Force can't be considered true Chaotic Force. It's much weaker than true Chaotic Force, so when you use it, you can't just send it out. Not only will it consume a lot of Chaotic Force, but it'll also be much weaker," Ziying said in Jianchen's head.
"If that's the case, doesn't that mean I can only use my fists to fight in close combat in the future?" Jianchen said in a rather troubled manner.
"Yes, master. Chaotic Force is extremely brutal. Regular weapons are unable to support the flow of Chaotic Force, so before you forge the Azulet swords, you can only rely on your Chaotic Body to fight in close combat," Ziying said.
"Master, don't worry. As long as you find enough materials, you can forge the Azulet swords. Chaos gives birth to yin and yang, and Ziying and Qing Suo are condensed from yin and yang Qi, so Ziying and Qing Suo are extremely close to Chaotic Force. As long as you successfully forge the Azulet swords and use Chaotic Force to support them, the power of the swords will increase by leaps and bounds. At that time, you'll be able to roam the world," Qing Suo said.
Jianchen's heart beat wildly when he heard Qing Suo's words. He desperately wanted to forge the Azulet swords, but he soon felt extremely troubled. The materials were just too difficult to find. Who knew when he would be able to gather enough materials to forge the swords?
"Master, Ruler Armaments might just be able to endure Chaotic Force. Why don't you find a suitable Ruler Armament to replace them?" Ziying suggested.
"Yes, master. Ruler Armaments should be able to endure Chaotic Force. Before you forge the Azulet swords, you can find a Ruler Armament to replace them. However, I think that since a Saint Ruler at the Ninth Heavenly Layer could leave behind a Ruler Armament, wouldn't a Holy Emperor at the Ninth Heavenly Layer be able to do the same? If it's possible, you should find a weapon left behind by a Holy Emperor at the Ninth Heavenly Layer. It has to be much more powerful than a Saint Ruler's weapon," Qing Suo said.
"A Holy Emperor at the Ninth Heavenly Layer!" Jianchen smiled bitterly inside when he heard that. A Ruler Armament left behind by a Saint Ruler was already so difficult to find, let alone an item left behind by a Holy Emperor at the Ninth Heavenly Layer. There were probably only a few god artifacts like that on the entire Tian Yuan Continent. However, Qing Suo's suggestion was not a bad idea. Whether or not he could find one would depend on luck.
"Ziying, Qing Suo, Saint Rulers have grasped the mysteries of the world and can use Spatial Force. Even if I cultivate the Chaotic Body, I won't be able to pose a threat to them. Do you have any methods to deal with this problem?"
