“He’s broken through! That truly is the seed of ways left behind by the Skyscraping Sword Venerable. It’s actually allowed him to break through so quickly…”
“The seed of ways did play a role in Yang Yutian’s breakthrough, but you can’t ignore his talent either…”
“That’s right. If he had insufficient talent, he won’t be able to make any progress even with assistance from the seed of ways. However, it truly is extremely rare for someone to be able to break through so quickly like Yang Yutian…”
“Originally, I thought that even if he obtained the seed of ways, he would need several centuries or even millennia to break through successfully. After all, after reaching Immortal Emperor, each step takes an extremely long time. I never thought Yang Yutian would actually achieve it in just a short month…”
......
…
Jian Chen obviously could not hide his breakthrough from everyone present. At this moment, some of the Immortal Exalts nearby let out sighs. They looked at Jian Chen with extremely mixed gazes.
In the beginning, many of them had come for the seed of ways, yet right now, none of them cared about the seed of ways anymore. All they could think of was the sovereign god artifact on Yang Yutian.
However, the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star protected him on the side, which was why these Immortal Exalts were forced to hold back their urges, afraid to act out of line.
Otherwise, even if it were against Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts, some of these early Immortal Exalts would still be bold enough to fight for it.
Xing Caijian’s eyes shone brightly as well. She stared fixedly at the figure basking in light and smiled gently.
She obviously hoped that the successor of the twin swords was as powerful as possible.
She was not helping Jian Chen but the successor of the twin swords.
During the days that Jian Chen spent comprehending the Laws of the Sword, waves of Immortal Exalts came and left. Many of them knew Jian Chen’s precise location. If it were not for the fact that the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star had already been exposed, Jian Chen would have never been able to break through so peacefully.
Even Xing Caijian’s identity as the daughter of a heavenly emperor would not protect him.
Zuo Dao of the Divine Valley of the Nine Heavens and the Heavenloss Master of the Sword Sect of Yang Soul watched over Jian Chen just like before. Even though their presence was completely unnecessary, it represented their attitude on this matter.
Vice cult leader Lan Caidie of the Ghost Immortal cult did not show up here. After using the power of the Remnants of the Ghost Immortal, she had paid a very heavy price. Who knew where she was hiding right now, recovering silently.
Meanwhile, certain pieces of news involving Jian Chen had already spread through the entire Skyscraping World under the efforts of a few people.
He had killed great elders of the Immortal Feather sect!
His true identity was the Chang Yang that the Wayless Immortal Exalt of the Immortal Feather sect had put out a bounty for, one of the past Thousand Immortal Generals of the Observance Heaven City!
He possessed a powerful formation that had killed a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt ancestor of the Heavenly Palace of Scaling Heights, the Profound Spirit Master!
He possessed a sovereign god artifact that could heal him rapidly, making him virtually unkillable, and he had brought several tens of thousand stowaways into the Skyscraping World with him.
Originally, only the Immortal Exalts in the Skyscraping World knew about these pieces of news, but as word got out, virtually everyone learnt about it. Whether they were Immortal Emperors, Immortal Monarchs, or Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals, they all knew.
As the news spread, it immediately shocked the entire Skyscraping World. The city lord of the Immortal Rising City, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, was currently in the middle of comprehending one of the nine secret techniques. His expression changed again and again. For a moment, he could not even be bothered with comprehending the secret technique.
“A sovereign god artifact! He actually possesses a sovereign god artifact!” In another region near the foot of the Skyscraping World, the city lord of the Yi Immortal City, the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt, stood before a stone tablet with his eldest son. When they received this news, they were both shocked. Their hearts churned.
“The Profound Spirit Master is a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. I didn’t expect him of all people to die at Yang Yutian’s hands. Father, we should feel glad that we didn’t get involved,” the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt’s eldest son, Chi Yutian, said with lingering fear. Chills ran down his spine.
The Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt fell silent before letting out a sigh. “You have been very sensible. Regardless of Yang Yutian’s identity, regardless of what treasures he possesses, he is definitely someone that our Yi Immortal City cannot afford to provoke…”
......
,,,
“These people are just despicable.” Xing Caijian was also aware that the matters involving Yang Yutian had already spread through the Skyscraping World. She was powerless about this. She was not able to contain the news. After all, it was several dozen Immortal Exalts spreading the news. It was not like she could make the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star kill all of them.
Even if she actually wanted that, the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star would not take action.
“Once our trip in the Skyscraping World ends, fellow Yang Yutian will definitely make a resounding name for himself in the Immortals’ World.” The Heavenloss Master chuckled. He was not worried for Jian Chen at all. So what if he revealed his sovereign god artifact? So what if he killed great elders of the Immortal Feather sect? As long as the elder princess of the Heavenly Palace of Great Radiance stood forward to cover for him, just who in the Immortals’ World would still have the courage to touch him?
“Now, it’ll all just come down to how the elder princess of the Heavenly Palace of Great Radiance treats Yang Yutian,” thought the Heavenloss Master. He could not infer too much from a tablet alone. Right now, he both hoped that Jian Chen could be a little closer to the elder princess, but he also hoped that he was not too friendly with the elder princess.
The Heavenloss Master just happened to be in an extremely conflicted state. At the same time, he felt some uneasiness.
In the blink of an eye, three months had already passed since Jian Chen absorbed the seed of ways. On this day, the Skyscraping World suddenly shook violently. The mist that filled the entire world surged violently. Shortly afterwards, blinding golden light lit up in the sky, enveloping every inch of the Skyscraping World. It gave off a tremendous pressure that made all of the experts’ hearts skip a beat.
This was one of the Skyscraping World’s peak formations. At this moment, it had suddenly activated!
“The Skyscraping World is about to close. Everyone in here will be forcefully transported out by the formation’s power.” Xing Caijian looked up at the tremendous formation in the sky. This formation also originated from a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. Its purpose was for teleportation!
Virtually no one could hide themselves from this formation. It could ensure that no one would slip past its detection.
Xing Caijian was forced to rouse Jian Chen who was submerged in comprehension. She said, “Once we get out, don’t say anything. Just stand behind me. I will contact my father immediately.”
Jian Chen glanced at the tremendous formation in the sky that rapidly gathered power. After a moment of silence, he said, “Don’t worry about me. Since I have the courage to do all this in the Skyscraping World, I obviously have the confidence to escape as well.”
“You’ll only be taking a risk with that. The only way to ensure absolutely nothing can go wrong is to wait for my father to arrive.” Xing Caijian looked at Jian Chen.
“I’ve killed multiple great elders of the Immortal Feather sect. If the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor were to show himself, it would not be good. It will lead to even more severe consequences,” Jian Chen said seriously. In the Skyscraping World, Xing Caijian had provided him with tremendous help. Since he was confident about slipping away, he obviously did not wish to drag the Heavenly Star Palace into this.
