"Artifact Spirit, do you have any other methods to get through the seal?" Jianchen felt rather worried inside.
The Artifact Spirit lowered its head in thought for a while before shaking its head in the end, "Master, the seal in his head is extremely profound. It should have been created by the Holy Emperor. I'm unable to forcefully remove the seal without harming him with my current abilities. Unless I find a way to remove the seal, it's impossible."
Jianchen frowned. He knew that the ancestor probably did not have much time left. If he could not break through to Saint Ruler, he would not have much time left.
"Great-grandson, there's no need to worry about your great-grandfather. Your great-grandfather knows the seal extremely well. It's one of the five great seals of Changyang Prefecture. It's passed down from ancient times and was personally created by the Holy Emperor. It's extremely profound. The only way to remove the seal is to find a way to remove it," said Changyang Zu Yunkong.
"Great-grandfather, do you know how to remove the seal?" Jianchen asked.
"Only the great elders who have grasped the seal know how to remove the seal. No one else knows about it aside from them," Changyang Zu Yunkong gently sighed.
"Is the only way to remove the seal to find the great elders of Changyang Prefecture?" Jianchen asked sternly. This was an extremely difficult matter. At the very least, it was basically impossible for him right now.
"Yes, that is indeed the case. However, this is simply impossible." Changyang Zu Yunkong became sorrowful, "Back then, I almost caused Changyang Prefecture to be doomed. The fact that they didn't execute me on the spot is already extremely merciful. It's impossible for the great elders to remove the seal."
"Ziying, Qing Suo, do you have any methods to remove the seal?" Jianchen asked the sword spirits for help again. They were his last hope now.
"Master, the seal is profound, but we can remove it effortlessly if we were in our peak condition. However, we're still too weak right now. We're nowhere close to being able to remove the seal," Ziying's voice rang out in Jianchen's head.
"Then how long will it take for you to return to your peak condition?" Jianchen asked.
After a moment of thought, Ziying said, "Master, the energy in this realm is far too weak. We'll never be able to return to our peak condition if we stay here. Even if we absorb all the energy in the crystal, we'll only be able to recover less than a thousandth of our strength. However, once we absorb all the energy in the crystal, we should be able to remove the seal without harming him."
Jian Chen immediately became excited when he heard that. He said, "May I ask how much longer you'll have to wait before you can absorb all the energy in the crystal?"
"With our current speed, we'll need around three thousand years to completely absorb all the energy in the crystal," Ziying said rather bitterly.
"What? Over three thousand years?" Jianchen was surprised before feeling bitter inside. That was just far too long for him. Even if his great-grandfather broke through to Saint Ruler, he would only be able to live for another two thousand years. He would not be able to wait for the sword spirits to recover.
Jianchen left the artifact space with Changyang Zu Yunkong in disappointment. He returned to the cave once again, but his heart was extremely heavy right now. He could not just watch his great-grandfather endure such painful torture until he died.
"Great-grandfather, consume the ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resource. That way, you'll be able to extend your lifespan a little. As for your seal, I'll find a way to break through it," Jian Chen said rather sternly.
"Child, even if I eat the ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resource, I'll only have to endure another hundred or two hundred years of pain. You better take it back to Chang Wuji. His talent is mediocre, so it'll be rather difficult for him to break through to Saint Ruler. He needs it more than me," said Changyang Zu Yunkong.
The Heavenly Enchantress watched this with mixed feelings. After hesitating slightly, she said, "Actually, Changyang Zu Yunkong still has a chance to break through to Saint Ruler."
Jianchen and Changyang Zu Yunkong's eyes immediately lit up when they heard what the Heavenly Enchantress had said. The flames of hope immediately lit up in their hearts. Jianchen looked at the Heavenly Enchantress and asked in a hurry, "Senior, may I ask what method you have for my great-grandfather to break through to Saint Ruler?"
The Heavenly Enchantress slowly said, "There's still some Dragon Saliva Grass in the Sea of Illusory Stars. It was left behind by one of the four great magical beast races, the dragon race. As long as you can find Dragon Saliva Grass that's over a hundred thousand years old, you can temporarily suppress the seal in his head. Although you won't be able to remove the seal, you'll be able to let him reach Saint Ruler successfully and increase his lifespan by two thousand years."
"The Sea of Illusory Stars!" Jianchen murmured before his eyes shone brighter and brighter. There just happened to be a material for forging the Azulet swords in the Sea of Illusory Stars, Stardust.
"You can't. The Sea of Illusory Stars is the most dangerous place on the Tian Yuan Continent aside from the Death Nest. Even Saint Rulers might not be able to make it out alive if they enter, and hundred-thousand-year-old Dragon Saliva Grass definitely grows in the depths of the Sea of Illusory Stars. The danger there is several times greater than the outskirts. I've heard from the seniors of the clan that even the Holy Emperor would struggle to return unscathed if he entered the depths of the Sea of Illusory Stars. Great-grandson, you can't go there. The Sea of Illusory Stars is not a place you can enter, "Changyang Zu Yunkong sternly said. He was a member of the ten protector clans, so he had an extremely good understanding of the Sea of Illusory Stars.
"Great-grandfather, once the Dragon Saliva Grass suppresses the seal in your head, you'll be able to successfully break through to Saint Ruler and gain two thousand years of life. Two thousand years is more than enough. I'll definitely think of a way to get the great elder of the Changyang Prefecture to remove the seal during that time, so I have to go to the Sea of Illusory Stars. There's something I want in there," Jianchen firmly said. He had to go to the Sea of Illusory Stars. No matter how dangerous it was, he did not fear it because there were materials for forging the Azulet swords there.
"Changyang Zu Yunkong, your great-grandson has already become a Saint Ruler. Although the Sea of Illusory Stars is rather dangerous for him, it'll be fine as long as he's careful," the Heavenly Enchantress' voice rang out from beside him.
"What? Great-grandson, you've already become a Saint Ruler? " Changyang Zu Yunkong immediately became stunned. He stared at Jianchen blankly as his heart churned.
Jianchen nodded slightly, "Great-grandfather, you should believe that I have the strength now. I will definitely go to the Sea of Illusory Stars and find Dragon Saliva Grass that's over a hundred thousand years old."
Jianchen left the cave and raised his head to look at the azure sky. He exhaled deeply and slowly suppressed his surging emotions. Everything that had happened today was like a dream to him. He had never thought that he would meet the ancestor of Changyang Prefecture who had disappeared for several hundred years on Three Saint Island, nor did he think that the ancestor who had founded the Changyang Prefecture would have such a relationship with the protector clans.
Nubis cautiously flew over from afar. He stared at Jianchen's mixed emotions in surprise and asked, "Jianchen, are you fine? Did that demoness do anything to you?"
Jianchen gently shook his head. He did not go into the details of what had happened in the cave. He said, "Nubis, I want to go to the Sea of Illusory Stars."
"The Sea of Illusory Stars! What are you going there for? That used to be Dragon Island where the Dragon clan resided, but for some reason, it changed drastically and became the Sea of Illusory Stars in the end. It's extremely dangerous there, and even Saint Rulers can only move around the outskirts. They can't set foot in the depths, "Nubis became rather stern.
"I must go to the Sea of Illusory Stars. No matter how dangerous it is, I must go." Jianchen's gaze became unprecedentedly determined.
"Have you considered it carefully? Hundred-thousand-year-old Dragon Saliva Grass can only be found in the depths of the Sea of Illusory Stars. Even Saint Rulers will die there. Do you really plan on going in?" The Heavenly Enchantress' voice rang out from behind.
Nubis's face immediately changed when he saw the Heavenly Enchantress. He instinctively took a few steps back and his gaze toward the Heavenly Enchantress was filled with deep fear.
Jianchen turned around and looked at the Heavenly Enchantress. Her bright eyes seemed to be filled with water. Her gaze was enchanting, as if she wanted to suck in a person's soul. Jianchen's heart shuddered, but Jianchen did not lose his composure due to his composure. He clasped his hands and said, "Senior, please tell me where the Sea of Illusory Stars is."
The Heavenly Enchantress stared at Jianchen with her enchanting eyes, but Jianchen did not shrink back at all. He stared back at the Heavenly Enchantress and remained calm the entire time.
This lasted for quite a while before the Heavenly Enchantress finally nodded slowly. She said, "The Sea of Illusory Stars is famed for its illusions. There will be various illusions there, and the deeper you go, the more powerful the illusions will be. You'll become lost if you're careless. You should be able to deal with regular illusions with your composure. Whatever, since you want to go, I'll go with you. The Dragon Saliva Grass will be of great help to me, so I need it too. "
Jianchen was overjoyed when he heard that. Although he did not know much about the Heavenly Enchantress' strength, just the fact that she could change the laws of the world with her music was enough to shock him. His chances of success would greatly increase with the Heavenly Enchantress' accompaniment.
"Jianchen, I'll go with you as well. I'll be able to see just what Dragon Island used to be like," Nubis said reluctantly.
The Heavenly Enchantress stared at Nubis and said, "Since you know that the Sea of Illusory Stars used to be Dragon Island, you should know that the place can suppress all magical beasts. At the same time, the endless illusions are the bane of all magical beasts. You'll just be going to your death if you go there."
"Nubis, you better stay here and increase your strength. Wait for our return," Jianchen said to Nubis.
