Chapter 3758: Elder Ling
Jian Chen was aware that the seven ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants would definitely fly into a furious rage after witnessing the miserable situation of their sect. He knew they would turn the entire Reverent Observance Heaven upside down.
However, he never expected the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants to act so recklessly, directly kicking up a storm of blood on the Reverent Observance Heaven, destroying several peak organisations one after another and committing deeds that incurred fury from all.
If something like that had occurred elsewhere, they definitely would have faced the backlash of the combined forces of all the organisations. The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants was powerful, but they were still nowhere close to the point where they could fend off all the organisations on the Reverent Observance Heaven alone.
Yet, this did not happen on the Reverent Observance Heaven.
“The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is backed by the Sacred Beast clan. Looks like it’s the reputation of the Sacred Beast clan that prevents all the organisations on the Reverent Observance Heaven from banding together, allowing the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants to run amok,” Jian Chen thought.
He knew that the Sacred Beast clan was extremely powerful. Even the Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, the Heavenly Talisman Venerable, was extremely fearful of them.
Even the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets chose to keep silent when he mentioned the possibility that the Sacred Beast King might have killed the Star Clustered Ancestor.
It was no wonder that the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had the courage to act with such unruliness. It was thanks to their powerful backing.
Jian Chen set aside his thoughts and kept looking, but very soon, the events that occurred next left him both speechless and shocked.
The elder princess of the Heavenly Palace of Great Radiance descended on the Reverent Observance Heaven. Among the seven ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, she killed the Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, destroyed the body of the Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, the Cloud-treading Ancestor, and destroyed the body of the Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, the Space-splitting Venerable, almost imprisoning him before the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
The supreme ancestors of the Sacred Beast clan emerged. The four supreme ancestors engaged the elder princess of the Heavenly Palace of Great Radiance personally with sovereign god artifacts in a historic battle, with the elder princess of the Heavenly Palace of Great Radiance emerging victoriously in the end.
When he looked at the startling news regarding Fang Jing, Jian Chen could not help but smile. He could not help but think of how he initially met Fang Jing.
In the past, he encountered Fang Jing for the first time in a city called the Scarlet Water City on the Aqua Plane of the forty-nine planes of the Saints’ World.
Back then, Fang Jing was merely a regular girl with pitiful and impoverished origins. She relied on selling maps of the city to make a living, and she had to take care of a heavily-injured, bed-ridden grandfather. Her life was extremely difficult.
And now, Fang Jing had already become so powerful. She could emerge victorious against the four supreme ancestors of the Sacred Beast clan alone.
“When I first met Fang Jing’er, I clearly saw many threads of karma between me and her. Each thread was particularly thick, too thick for us to just be chance acquaintances. Why were there these threads of karma?” Jian Chen thought of the threads of karma he had initially seen again. They became his greatest source of confusion.
Unfortunately, as Fang Jing’s strength increased, he was unable to see these threads of karma anymore.
Apart from that, Jian Chen also saw the bounty that the Immortal Feather sect had put out for him!
“Sure enough, the Immortal Feather sect refuses to drop the matter.” Jian Chen sneered. The Immortal Feather sect did not know his exact details, so the clues they provided were limited to some characteristics.
A practitioner of the Chaotic Body, having grasped the Laws of the Sword and the Laws of Space, possessing an undying body and so on.
Moreover, it included some of the secret techniques that Jian Chen had used while contending for the position of Thousand Immortal General in the Observance Heaven City. All of it had been made public.
“Many people in the Immortals’ World have grasped the Laws of the Sword and the Laws of Space, but the Chaotic Body is quite rare. In particular, there probably aren’t a lot of people throughout the entire Immortals’ World who have reached my level of the Chaotic Body.
“However, the remuneration they’ve put forward seems a little unsatisfactory. If I’m found, captured, and handed over to the Immortal Feather sect, it’s worth five hundred thousand five-coloured immortal crystals, fifty high grade God Tier pills, and a favour from an ancestor of the Immortal Feather sect…”
“Providing leads with regards to this person is worth a hundred thousand five-coloured immortal crystals…”
“Five hundred thousand five-coloured immortal crystals and fifty high grade God Tier pills. Am I really only worth this little in the eyes of the Immortal Feather sect?”
When he saw the remuneration offered by the Immortal Feather sect, Jian Chen burst out laughing. Out of everything offered, probably only a favour from an ancestor of the Immortal Feather sect was of some value.
As for everything else, it could probably only attract Immortal Emperors.
As for those beneath Immortal Emperors, how were they supposed to discover an Immortal Emperor who intentionally hid himself?
After browsing through all of the news in the jade slip, Jian Chen closed his hand, and the jade slip immediately turned to powder.
However, Jian Chen still struggled to calm down after learning about what had happened on the Reverent Observance Heaven in the end.
With a flip of his hand, a tablet appeared in his hand.
The tablet was a token of identification that the elder princess of the Heavenly Palace of Great Radiance had given to Jian Chen when they parted on the Grand Sovereign Heaven.
With this tablet, he could directly visit the Heavenly Palace of Great Radiance!
Jian Chen held the tablet and rubbed it with his thumb absentmindedly. His mind drifted off slightly. Who knew what he was thinking.
A while later, he finally returned to his senses. He placed the tablet back into the space in his soul and shut his eyes to meditate.
In the blink of an eye, three days had elapsed. It was the designated time for the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance to hand over the materials to Jian Chen.
Jian Chen did not take Jing Feng or Jing Mumu with him this time. He made Jing Feng watch over Jing Mumu as she cultivated in the courtyard. Meanwhile, he visited the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance alone.
As soon as he approached the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance, Jian Chen immediately saw the manager of the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance from very far away. At this moment, she personally watched the entrance, waiting for someone extremely patiently.
She intentionally concealed her presence, so the people entering the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance only believed that she was a Daluo Golden Immortal. As such, they did not pay too much attention to her.
Clearly, there were only an extremely small number of people that could recognise her in the Immortal Rising City.
“Senior, you’re finally here. I’ve already waited here for quite some time.” Wang Miaomiao immediately went to receive Jian Chen when she saw him. She was very enthusiastic, quite different from three days ago.
Jian Chen was unperturbed. He was not surprised by Wang Miaomiao personally receiving him at all. “Have you prepared what I need?”
“I have, fortunately. I gathered it all the day before already. Please come with me, senior. This time, elder Ling will personally hand the heavenly resources over to you, senior.” Wang Miaomiao made an inviting gesture and personally led the way for Jian Chen.
When they passed through the first floor, some of the attendants recognised Wang Miaomiao. When they saw Wang Miaomiao leading the way personally, they immediately became shocked.
“T-that seems to be the head manager, the highest administrator of our Merchant Union of Star Brilliance…”
“Who exactly is he to require our head manager to personally receive him?”
“I know who this senior is. Do you remember the Immortal Monarch senior who visited us three days ago?”
……
…
The attendants scattered across the first floor discussed among themselves. Many of them were very excited.
“What are you discussing? Is this something that you should discuss? Get to work.” At this moment, someone who resembled a manager walked out, radiating with the presence of a Xuan Immortal.
The attendants gathered in the surroundings all scattered.
The person that seemed to be a manager gazed in the direction that Wang Miaomiao had vanished in. His gaze was filled with respect.
He was well aware that if the head manager of the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance personally received someone, then they would be an Immortal Emperor at the very least.
This time, Wang Miaomiao led Jian Chen directly to the sixth floor. They arrived in an extremely fancy guest room.
An old man in white robes was already waiting there.
“Elder Ling, the customer is here!” Wang Miaomiao bowed slightly towards the old man and said politely.
“Miaomiao, you can go.” Elder Ling waved his hand before looking at Jian Chen. He smiled enthusiastically and said, “Fellow, please forgive us for improperly tending to you three days ago. After all, it makes perfect sense for me to personally receive them when such an important figure visits.”
