Chapter 3697: Grasping at Every Opportunity
“Hehehehe, just leave this to me. I’ve devoured the souls of a few great elders, so I’ve found some useful information from their souls.” The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt appeared before Jian Chen. He took one of the talismans from Jian Chen before telling the Immortal Devouring Orchid in the distance, “You’ve devoured so many of those little elephants, so you probably haven’t digested them all in such a short amount of time. Give me a corpse. They need to be Immortal Monarch at the very least. An Immortal Emperor would be even better.”
The Immortal Devouring Orchid cracked open with a huge, black mouth. In the next moment, the corpse of an Immortal Emperor flew out.
A part of the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s soul directly took its place in the Immortal Emperor’s corpse. Afterwards, it moved around stiffly and awkwardly as if it was adjusting to this new body.
“Sigh, I’m too feeble. I’m just temporarily controlling this Immortal Emperor’s body, yet it’s actually so difficult. However, I only need to use a secret technique, so it shouldn’t be much of an issue.” The Immortal Emperor’s body under the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s control let out a hoarse voice. His eyes shone with an eerie redness, which made him seem extremely demonic.
In the next moment, he formed a seal with both hands and sent an imprint into the tablet before gently sweeping the formation around the treasury with the tablet.
The formation around the treasury rippled slightly and silently as a door cracked open.
“Alright, you can go in. However, the treasury seems to be divided into many levels of authority. The Immortal Emperor I devoured doesn’t seem to possess the highest authority, so you might not be able to enter the highest level,” said the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
Jian Chen clasped his fist towards the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and said, “Thousand Soul Demon Exalt, you better come in with me.”
“Looks like you still don’t trust me. My life is at your whim. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything that threatens you no matter what.” The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt sniggered before stepping into the formation first.
Jian Chen brought the Immortal Devouring Orchid with him before following the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt through the entrance to the treasury.
“Thousand Soul Demon Exalt, you’re already my servant now, but you don’t seem to have realised that you’re a servant.” Jian Chen’s eyes shone with cold light as he stared at the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt closely.
The Immortal Emperor under the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s control halted. He hesitated slightly before turning around and staring at Jian Chen. He said seriously, “My life is already at your whim. Logically speaking, I have indeed become your servant, but can you promise me one thing?”
“Go on!”
“That is, before you become an Immortal Exalt, treat me as an equal. Of course, that’s only on the surface. In reality, I will obey your every command. However, before you become an Immortal Exalt, I won’t refer to you as my master whether privately or publicly.”
“I am a Fourth Heavenly Layer Demon Exalt after all. I have a certain amount of reputation in the Immortals’ World and the Demons’ World. If you want me to refer to an Immortal Emperor as a master, you really are making things difficult for me.”
“I know your background is extraordinary and you possess three sovereign god artifacts, but your cultivation is still a little too long right now,” said the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt. The difference in cultivation still ended up being something he could not accept so easily.
“If that’s all, then I can promise you that. However, there is something you must be aware of. If you ever defy my orders, you have no need to live any longer. I might just be an Immortal Emperor right now, but it’s not like I can’t kill Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts as long as I pay a price,” Jian Chen said emotionlessly.
“Please don’t worry. That definitely won’t happen in the future.” The Immortal Emperor under the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s control immediately smiled apologetically.
The treasury of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants was filled with various immortal artifacts.
The first floor was low quality immortal artifacts!
The second floor was medium quality immortal artifacts!
The third floor was high quality immortal artifacts!
The fourth floor was supreme quality immortal artifacts!
The fifth floor was low quality god artifacts!
Jian Chen and the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt made their way up together.When they made it to the sixth floor, they finally stopped.
Over a hundred medium quality god artifacts filled the sixth floor, varying in size and shape.
In the end, the entire treasury was emptied out. Abruptly, Jian Chen had gained over a hundred medium quality god artifacts and almost a thousand low quality god artifacts!
As for the various immortal artifacts, Jian Chen did not even bother keeping count.
In the end, Jian Chen stood at the entrance to the seventh floor. Gazing at the pitch-black entrance, he could only give up.
Even though he had determined that the seventh floor was high quality god artifacts, his current state was not suitable for fusing the swords a second time.
After leaving the treasury, Jian Chen arrived at another important place very soon. That was where the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants kept record of their various cultivation methods.
Unfortunately, all of the cultivation methods there were for daemons. Only members of the Elephant clan could practise them. Some cultivation methods even had extremely high requirements on bloodlines, which were basically useless to Jian Chen.
However, Jian Chen still took away all the cultivation methods that he could like they were garbage.
A dozen days later, there was nothing of value left in the enormous Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants apart from the seven ancestral towers in the distance and the pair of Dragon Blood Fish.
Elder Nong and Chen Shifang had already returned to the Primeval Divine Hall. Jian Chen left the various spiritual mountains, spiritual veins, and medicinal gardens they had collected from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants to them to arrange.
Inside the Primeval Divine Hall, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens immediately expanded by several hundred times in size. All of the disciples began busying about, setting up a new sect.
Jian Chen brought the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and the Immortal Devouring Orchid to the pool where the Dragon Blood Fish resided.
At this moment, due to losing the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains and all of the spiritual veins, the pool that was originally thick with spiritual Qi became parched of it.
The pair of Dragon Blood Fish dove down to the bottom of the pool. Their eyes were shut as if they were deep asleep.
“Sect master, these Dragon Blood Fish are precious. It’s far too great of a pity to not be able to take them with us.” The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt stood on the edge of the pool. He stared at the pair of Dragon Blood Fish with shining eyes and slavered over them. “The Dragon Blood Fish played a very big role in why the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants could nurture so many experts in just a short million years.”
Jian Chen’s eyes flickered. He was hesitant. He was also very much tempted by the Dragon Blood Fish. If the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens possessed this pair of Dragon Blood Fish, they would have experts springing forth in the future.
However, the Heavenly Talisman Venerable’s warning was right by his ear. If he touched the Dragon Blood Fish, that was equivalent to provoking the Sacred Beast clan.
The Sacred Beast clan had completely inherited the heritage of an entire major world. They did not have any Grand Exalts, but they even surpassed Grand Exalts from certain angles.
“We can’t touch these Dragon Blood Fish for now. We still can’t provoke the Sacred Beast clan.” In the end, Jian Chen sighed gently and gave up on all of his thoughts regarding the Dragon Blood Fish.
When Jian Chen said that, the pair of tense Dragon Blood Fish that dwelled at the bottom of the pool seemed to ease up slightly.
