Jianchen was filled with helplessness when he heard the grand elder's words. He knew that the grand elder would not believe him no matter how he tried to explain himself. With his inflexible personality, he was certain that he possessed the presence of a ruler.
"Should I reveal my true identity or not? That's probably the only way for the grand elder to believe that I'm not some ruler of the Turtle clan," Jianchen thought. He was already hesitating over revealing his identity to the grand elder.
The grand elder sighed, "My Turtle clan was once a peak clan in the sea realm. Even with the entire sea realm in perspective, we ranked in the top ten. During our peak, we produced four rulers in a row, and every single one of them was at the peak of the 16th Star. They were at the level of hall elders. At that time, no one dared to provoke the Turtle clan aside from the three divine halls."
"It's a pity that after so many years, the strength of the Turtle clan has declined with each generation. The number of rulers has constantly decreased, and the strength of the entire clan has rapidly declined as well. We've already fallen from being a peak clan in the sea realm to this mediocre clan, and no one with the bloodline of a ruler has appeared in thirty thousand years. If this continues, we'll probably become weaker and weaker. In the end, we'll be swallowed up by other powerful clans. " A sliver of pain appeared on the grand elder's face. As an old man of the Turtle clan, he really did not want to see something like this happen.
"Ruler, you are the hope of my Turtle clan. Only under your lead can the Turtle clan reach its former glory and achieve what it once was. I hope the ruler can return to the Turtle clan. Old Man will definitely assist the ruler with everything he has," the grand elder pleaded to Jianchen. His face was filled with hope.
"Grand elder, don't say anymore. I'm not a member of your Turtle clan, so I won't go back with you." Jianchen rejected the grand elder's request without any hesitation before leaving with Xie Wang.
"Ruler, if you don't come back with me, I'll stay by your side the entire time," the grand elder was stubborn as he immediately followed Jianchen.
Jianchen was extremely happy to have the grand elder follow him. With a Holy Emperor by his side, he did not need to worry about Qing Yixuan coming to find him again.
Jianchen flew in the direction of the divine hall with Xie Wang while the grand elder followed by his side. Jianchen had been in the Sea Region World for nearly a month now. During this time, he had been tied up with some trivial matters and had not been able to properly cultivate at all. This had already gone against his purpose of coming to the Sea Region.
As a result, Jianchen planned on cultivating in the divine hall for extended periods of time. Once his strength increased, he would immediately return to the Tian Yuan Continent.
After the three of them flew for a distance of 5,000 kilometres, a city appeared before Jianchen's eyes. Jianchen directly flew over the city.
However, when he approached the center of the city, his eyes suddenly narrowed. He suddenly looked down and immediately descended, landing on the bustling streets of the city.
Before Jianchen was a castle-like building. It was constructed in an extremely grand manner, and people came and went from the wide open entrance. It was very busy.
"The Pavilion of Wondrous Treasures!" Jianchen softly murmured when he saw the large, flamboyant words on the signboard. A gleam of excitement flickered through his eyes as he made his way to the Pavilion of Wondrous Treasures.
"Esteemed warriors, how may I be of service to you?" As soon as they entered the Pavilion of Wondrous Treasures, a sharp-eyed worker who was adept at reading people ran over. He circled around Jianchen and the others with an enchanting smile. He was extremely enthusiastic.
"Take me to the fifth floor." Jianchen behaved like an expert, directly tossing a supreme quality crystal coin to the worker. He was so generous that it attracted the curious gazes of the people in the surroundings toward Jianchen.
"The taste of a warrior really is something that ordinary people can't compare to. The fifth floor is where the most valuable items are stored in our Pavilion of Wondrous Treasures. It's not a place that ordinary people can go up. Only great figures like you have the right to go up there …" The worker was overjoyed to receive a supreme quality crystal coin so easily. He continuously flattered Jianchen.
"Cut the crap. Lead the way," Jianchen said rather impatiently.
"Yes, yes, yes. I will lead the way immediately. Please come this way." Seeing that Jianchen was already unhappy, the worker immediately stopped talking nonsense and directly led Jianchen upstairs.
Jianchen was led by the worker to the fifth floor of the Pavilion of Wondrous Treasures. Although the fifth floor was the same size as the first floor, the items placed here were much rarer. There were only a few items, but every one of them was a rare treasure. At this moment, there were more than twenty people in gorgeous clothes surrounding a few treasures and looking them up and down.
Among these people, a tall woman in white clothes was the most eye-catching. The woman had a face that could topple countries and cities. Her skin was like mutton fat that could be broken by the slightest touch. Her pair of limpid eyes were filled with a ruthless coldness, revealing a coldness that repelled people thousands of miles away. When she stood with these people, she was like a flower stuck in cow dung. She was so dazzling that no one could ignore her existence.
Her existence caused all the officials and nobles who were looking at the treasures to steal glances at her from the corner of their eyes. Although their gazes were fixed on the treasures, their minds were not on the treasures at all.
Beside the woman was a handsome, well-dressed young man with an extraordinary bearing. He had a sunny smile on his face as he said something to the woman. The gaze he used to look at the woman was filled with infatuation. There was undisguised adoration in his eyes.
Beside the young man were two middle-aged men dressed like servants. They were expressionless and had cold gazes. They were both Sixth Cycle Heaven Saint Masters.
In the sea realm, fighting was forbidden in the cities, yet the young man had two Sixth Cycle Heaven Saint Master guards following him in the city. From this, it could be seen that his identity was definitely not ordinary. He was definitely the young master of a large clan.
"Miss, I've already introduced myself, but I still don't know your name. I don't know which organization you are from or where you cultivate," the young man said with a gentle smile. The young man said with a smile beside the woman in white. His tone was soft, his attitude was gentle, and he was very amiable.
The young man was called Nanyun Lie. He was the young master of the Nanyun clan. His great grandfather was the current patriarch of the Nanyun clan.
There was probably no one who did not know the Nanyun clan in a radius of several hundred thousand kilometers. The Nanyun clan was a well-known clan in the territory of the Poseidon Hall. They possessed 15th Star experts, and there were two of them. They were an overlord that reigned over a region. They were fully worthy of being called a first-rate organization. They even controlled several medium-sized tribes and clans, so their range of influence was even greater.
The woman's expression was cold. She completely ignored Nanyun Lie who was blabbering on beside her. Her cold eyes stared unblinkingly at the sword before her.
The longsword was only two fingers wide, and its body was bright like a mirror. It emitted a layer of hazy treasure light, and a vast and terrifying energy was faintly circulating within the body of the sword.
At this moment, the woman's expression changed. She suddenly turned around and her cold eyes immediately locked onto Jianchen. The moment she saw Jianchen, her eyes immediately sharpened as she gritted her teeth.
The woman was one of the eight great human experts, Qing Yixuan!
The Xie Wang's expression immediately changed when he saw Qing Yixuan. He said through a communication technique, "God dammit, why is she here? Jianchen, why have you come here for no reason? We can't even hide from this person, yet you're throwing yourself at her."
Jianchen ignored the Xie Wang. He glanced between Qing Yixuan and Nanyun Lie for a while before revealing a strange expression. He said nothing and directly walked towards Qing Yixuan. In the end, he stopped before the sword.
As soon as Jian Chen's gaze landed on the sword, his eyes immediately burned with desire, as if he had discovered a supreme treasure. He was drooling with desire. He knew that the sword before him was definitely at least ten times more powerful than the Dragonslaying sword.
Jianchen extended his trembling hand towards the hilt of the sword. However, as soon as his hand came in contact with the hilt, a sharp sword Qi immediately shot out, piercing through Jianchen's Chaotic Body and injuring his hand. Immediately, blood began to flow from the wound.
Jianchen was secretly surprised when he felt the piercing pain from his hand. The power of the sword had exceeded his imagination. He had never thought that just a single strand of sword Qi would be so powerful, even piercing through his Chaotic Body. If it were someone else with similar strength, they would definitely end up in an even more miserable state.
With a thought, the chaotic neidan in Jianchen's dantian immediately began to emit strands of Chaotic Force, pushing the defences of the Chaotic Body to the limit. Afterward, he reached for the hilt of the sword once more.
Sharp sword Qi immediately shot out when his hand came in contact with the hilt. It left behind white marks on Jianchen's hand, but it was unable to harm Jianchen at all now.
A sliver of surprise immediately appeared in Qing Yixuan's eyes when she saw this. She was shocked by the strength of Jian Chen's body.
"T- this is a weapon left behind by a human expert at the end of their lifespan. It should be a King Weapon, left behind by the Holy Emperor of the Ninth Heavenly Layer," the grand elder sighed in amazement as he studied the sword without blinking.
Jianchen was unable to contain his excitement when he heard that. He picked up the sword and carefully studied it. Joy filled his face as he murmured, "A King Weapon. It really is a Saint Weapon left behind by the Holy Emperor of the Ninth Heavenly Layer. It really is extraordinarily powerful. This sword suits me just too well."
"Put down the King Weapon. You're not worthy of possessing one with your strength," Qing Yixuan coldly called out to Jianchen. Qing Yixuan coldly stared at Jianchen and called out. She absolutely hated Jianchen inside, but she dared not do anything to Jianchen with the grand elder by his side.
"Who says I'm not worthy? I want this King Saint Artifact. Shopkeeper, what's the price of this weapon?" Jian Chen's attention was completely focused on the King Saint Artifact. He was extremely excited. His Dragonslaying sword had already become slightly damaged, and as his strength increased in the future, the sword would become less and less useful to him. If he reached the third layer of the Chaotic Body, the Dragonslaying sword would not be able to endure Chaotic Force anymore. The King Weapon left behind by the Holy Emperor of the Ninth Heavenly Layer just happened to solve his problem.
