A few seconds later, the surrounding space violently pulsed. Large ripples appeared like water, and afterwards, eleven spatial cracks suddenly appeared, quickly forming Space Gates. Immediately, quite a few people emerged. They were the people from the protector clans and Mercenary City. The person leading the group from Mercenary City was the grand elder of Mercenary City, Tian Jian.
Suddenly, another spatial crack appeared, and an old man in plain clothes walked out from it. The old man had come alone, but no one dared to underestimate him with his appearance. Even the strongest experts from the protector clans looked at the old man sternly.
"Sect master of the Bloodsword sect, Houston, I never thought you'd come as well," Tian Jian smiled at the old man.
"Over a dozen presences of Class 8 Magical Beasts have suddenly appeared. As a human, how can I not come when something so major has happened?" Houston was emotionless, and his voice was very indifferent. However, he was nowhere near as calm as he seemed on the surface.
"What happened here? Why have over a dozen presences of Class 8 Magical Beasts suddenly appeared?" A middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance asked. She was the pavilion master of the Pure Heart Pavilion.
"Also, this space seems to have been sealed by a mysterious power earlier, preventing the Space Gate we created from reaching this place. We've been delayed by quite a bit, or the Class 8 Magical Beasts definitely wouldn't have been able to escape so quickly," said a middle-aged man. He was also a peak expert from the protector clans.
The middle-aged woman from the Zaar family did not hide anything. She explained everything that had just happened in detail. She did not even hide the Winged Tiger God.
"What? The Winged Tiger is following a junior who's both a Radiant Saint Master and a fighter? How can a Radiant Saint Master and a fighter exist at the same time? "An expert from the protector clans immediately voiced his doubts.
This was because a Radiant Saint Master and a fighter could not exist on the Tian Yuan Continent at the same time. This was basically an indisputable fact because there had never been a person who was both a Radiant Saint Master and a fighter since ancient times.
"I never thought that all the Class 8 Magical Beasts trapped in the artifact space would escape. This is an extremely bad thing for our Tian Yuan Continent. If they work together with the experts of the Beast God Continent, the strength of the Beast God Continent will definitely increase drastically," said the ancestor of the Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Qing Yun.
"Let's not talk about this right now. Our priority is to find the Winged Tiger. We can't let the experts of the Beast God Continent obtain the Winged Tiger first, or our Tian Yuan Continent will be doomed once the Winged Tiger reaches its peak," said an expert from a protector clan.
"Why don't we work together and use a secret technique to search the entire Tian Yuan Continent and find that person?" Someone suggested.
Afterward, a Holy Emperor from the protector clans stepped forward. They worked together to use a secret technique to search the entire Tian Yuan Continent.
Mercenary City did not participate. The grand elder Tian Jian hovered in the air as he watched them use the secret technique. He also felt rather worried, afraid that they would find Jianchen.
Houston was also worried. He treated Jianchen as his successor, and he had personally witnessed Jianchen grow from an Earth Saint Master with a shattered Saint Weapon to such a level. He obviously did not wish for such an unprecedented prodigy to die along the way.
This was because he understood that if Jianchen continued on, his future accomplishments would definitely be no less than his own. He might even surpass him and become the second Holy Emperor on the Tian Yuan Continent.
The search lasted around ten minutes before it finally came to an end. However, the people responsible for the search all had very ugly expressions. One of them said, "We've already searched the entire Tian Yuan Continent, but we haven't sensed the presence of the Winged Tiger. However, we have discovered a few Class 8 Magical Beasts that have emerged from the artifact space."
The faces of the people from the protector clans sank with that, while Tian Jian and Houston let out a sigh of relief.
"Since we can't find the Winged Tiger, why don't we kill the Class 8 Magical Beasts that have escaped from the artifact space and weaken the Beast God Continent?" An old woman from a protector clan said with a hoarse voice.
"No. If we kill those Class 8 Magical Beasts, we may be able to weaken the Beast God Continent's strength, but we'll definitely end up angering the Beast God Continent. It'll cause the war between our continents to erupt prematurely. That's extremely disadvantageous to us." As soon as the old woman raised her opinion, a voice of objection rang out.
"That's right. Our Tian Yuan Continent has always been weaker than the Beast God Continent, so we can't start a war prematurely right now. We still need some time to gather all our strength. Only then will we have the power to fight them. The matter at hand is to find the Winged Tiger as soon as possible. "
…
On a plain several million kilometers away from the Holy Emperor's Empire, Jianchen sat on the ground as he looked at the palm-sized, golden tower in his hand.
The workmanship of the tower was extremely exquisite. It was divided into a total of nine floors, and it shone with golden light. It was quite pretty.
"So this is what the saint artifacts of the Radiant Saint Master Union look like. But Artifact Spirit, why have you left the union?" Jianchen looked at the golden tower in his hand again and again as if he was talking to himself. The wounds he had received from the battle against the Saint Rulers from the eight great clans had already been completely healed by the monstrous regenerative abilities of the Chaotic Body.
"Exalted one, I've stayed in the union for several hundred thousand years. I don't want to remain in this world forever. I'm willing to follow by your side and see an even vaster world," the Artifact Spirit's voice rang out in Jianchen's head. It was extremely sincere.
"Artifact Spirit, at least you know how to follow by master's side. Don't worry, master's future accomplishments will be limitless. Once master becomes powerful, there will be plenty of benefits for you. All you need to do is gather some materials and refine this artifact of yours, and your strength will increase by several hundred times," Ziying's voice suddenly rang out.
Jianchen could clearly feel the golden tower in his hand tremble by an undetectable amount. Clearly, Ziying's words had made the Artifact Spirit extremely excited.
"Artifact Spirit, just how powerful are you right now? Can you help me fend off the experts of the protector clans?" Jianchen asked. This was the question he cared about the most.
"Master, don't count on this artifact's Artifact Spirit. This artifact is a support artifact, not an attack artifact. Its battle prowess is pitifully weak. It can be used to store some things, but if it's used against enemies, it probably won't even be able to harm master at all," Ziying's voice rang out in Jianchen's head.
Jianchen immediately became stunned when he heard that. He said in disbelief, "How is that possible? Can't the Artifact Spirit seal Class 8 Magical Beasts? Why is it so weak?"
"Exalted one, you might not know this, but I am indeed a support artifact. My purpose is to absorb the Radiant Saint Masters in the world and convert them into origin energy. If I'm in the artifact space, I can unleash strength equivalent to a Saint Emperor. If I'm outside, my strength will be drastically reduced, and it'll be difficult for me to deal with a Saint Ruler. "The artifact spirit's voice was filled with bitterness.
Jianchen secretly sighed inside. Originally, he wanted to use the Artifact Spirit to fend off the protector clans, but it seemed like it was all a fantasy now.
"Artifact Spirit, why don't you recognize me as your master?" Ziying's dignified voice rang out in the Artifact Spirit's head.
With that, the Artifact Spirit immediately quivered. After a moment of hesitation, it immediately recognized Jianchen as its master. It then shot into Jianchen's forehead as a golden streak of light and disappeared. It had already arrived in Jianchen's sea of consciousness, obediently hovering beside the sword spirits that were absorbing the energy from the five-colored crystal.
"Master, I've already recognized you as my master. You can put the Winged Tiger into the artifact space," the Artifact Spirit's voice rang out in Jianchen's head.
With that, Jianchen hesitated for a while. After asking for the White Tiger's opinion, he finally put the White Tiger into the artifact space. That way, he would be able to hide his identity better and avoid many unnecessary troubles.
After the Artifact Spirit recognized him as its master, Jianchen finally relaxed. Now that the Artifact Spirit was by his side at all times, becoming a Class 7 Radiant Saint Master was no longer a problem. He only needed to wait for a year before the seal on the Radiant Saint Force origin energy was removed. Then, he would become a Class 7 Radiant Saint Master, possessing the ability to come back from the dead.
Jianchen stood up and took out a set of blue robes from his Space Ring. After dressing himself up as a fighter, he left.
Two hours later, Jianchen had already traveled ten thousand kilometers away. He then entered a first class city, planning on buying a map to find his way home.
As soon as he entered the city, Jianchen heard the news of the Winged Tiger everywhere. Even the commoners knew about the Winged Tiger.
Jianchen listened to the discussions of the Winged Tiger as he made his way to the largest grocery store in the city. He then bought the largest map.
"I never thought I'd actually come here." Jianchen immediately smiled bitterly when he saw the markings on the map. He was currently in the Felicity Empire, one of the three great empires. He was almost ten million kilometers away from the Holy Emperor's Empire.
"Why have I come so far away? This is bad. If I don't have a Space Gate, who knows how long it'll take for me to return to the Kingdom of Gesun," Jianchen bitterly smiled. He immediately felt a headache coming on.
"Whatever. Let's see if I can find a Space Gate first." Jianchen put away the map and left the city. He planned on trying to find a Space Gate to return. That way, he could save a lot of time on the road.
Three days later, Jianchen flew through the air. He was heading towards a relatively powerful sect. He wanted to see if he could find a public Space Gate nearby.
Suddenly, the space before Jianchen tore open and a Space Gate quickly formed. A middle-aged man in white robes stepped out from it.
"Senior!" Seeing the middle-aged man, Jianchen's face immediately lit up with joy. This person was the Great Elder of the City of Soldiers, Tian Jian.
