Chapter 3765: Arrangements

Outside the Immortal Rising City, the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master continued to rain attacks on the protective formation below. Each attack would expend a vast amount of the protective formation’s energy.

These attacks did not take too much of a toll on them, as they could only be considered as casual attacks. Clearly, due to certain reasons, neither of them dared to use their full strength. They could only slowly waste away the protective formation’s energy.

“With the Energy-devouring Furnace’s addition, the Immortal Rising City’s formation probably won’t last for much longer. Fellow Void-perceiving, fortunately, you borrowed the god artifact from the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. Otherwise, if we wanted to deal with the Immortal Rising City, who knows how much more effort it would take.” The Wukun Master sat mid-air and used his mind to control his god artifact sword to attack the formation. Meanwhile, he held a flask of alcohol and took a sip every now and then. He was at leisure.

The Void-perceiving Ancestor stared at the Immortal Rising City below as if victory was within his grasp already. He sneered and said, “In the past, the thing I was most worried about when attacking the Immortal Rising City was harming the various organisations stationed in the city with the uncontrollable shockwaves of battle, particularly the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance. If they suffered any losses, even my Void-perceiving sect would not be able to bear the consequences. But fortunately, we have the Energy-devouring Furnace. With the Energy-devouring Furnace constantly draining the Immortal Rising City’s energy, we can perfectly avoid a storm of destruction once the formation falls. It is truly a flawless plan.”

The Void-perceiving Ancestor accepted the flask from the Wukun Master and took a few fierce swigs before he said, “However, our Void-perceiving sect has paid a certain price to borrow this Energy-absorbing Furnace. Let alone others, just the Skyscraping Sword Scripture that we obtain from Immortal Exalt Tan Yu has to be handed over to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.”

“Immortal Exalt Tan Yu is the only person who can be blamed. Who told him to obtain the Skyscraping Sword Scripture? If it were not for the Skyscraping Sword Scripture, the situation between our Void-perceiving sect and the Immortal Rising City would not have devolved so quickly to a matter of life and death.”

“I have no interest in the feud between your Void-perceiving sect and the Immortal Rising City. However, once this is all over, you better not forget what you promised to my Sword Sect of Mount Kun,” said the Wukun Master.

The Void-perceiving Ancestor glanced at the Wukun Master and said steadily, “The spiritual veins of your Sword Sect of Mount Kun are on the verge of running out. For the sake of the sect’s development, you’re in search of a blessed land to rebuild the sect. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t forget about what I promised you. Once this is all over, everything in the Immortal Rising City will belong to your Sword Sect of Mount Kun. My Void-perceiving sect will give you a large number of resources to assist you in rebuilding your sect. In the future, our sects will be eternal allies.”

When he heard that, the Wukun Master smiled in satisfaction. The spiritual veins of the Sword Sect of Mount Kun that he came from were on the brink of running out, which severely impacted the sect’s future development. Right now, they had to expend a tremendous amount of extra immortal crystals each day to replenish the spiritual Qi. Even for a peak organisation with deep heritage that dominated an entire region like the Sword Sect of Mount Kun, they could not last too long under this tremendous expenditure.

Right now on the Hall Brilliance Heaven, all of the places rich in spiritual Qi had been occupied already. Under these circumstances, the only way for the Sword Sect of Mount Kun to find a blessed land was to take the territory of other organisations…

……

…

In the Immortal Rising City, Jian Chen had already returned to his rented courtyard. After giving Jing Mumu a simple task for cultivation, he shut himself in a secret room.

Jian Chen sat with his legs crossed in the secret room. He seemed like he was cultivating, but in reality, his soul had already entered the Primeval Divine Hall.

At this moment, Dan Chenzi had already shut himself in his alchemy room inside the Primeval Divine Hall. Scorching heat filled the place as terrifying flames roared away. As he tossed heavenly resources into his cauldron one by one, the fragrance permeated the alchemy room.

Dan Chenzi had already begun refining pills again. He was refining the same pills as before, high grade Godking pills.

Several Immortal Emperors stood with their hands behind their backs around the cauldron. They were all attentive, ready to take action at any moment.

However, they all looked at the cauldron with a hint of wonder

In their eyes, Dan Chenzi was not refining pills but creating miracles.

They were also aware that in a few more years, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens would gain more than ten thousand Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals again.

In the Hall of Alchemy, Dan Chenzi was not the only one busying about. Among the original disciples of the Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi, some of the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals and Immortal Monarchs who had recovered began refining pills as well.

Most of the pills they refined were suitable for Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals to rapidly recover their energy.

They refined cauldrons after cauldrons of these Immortal Tier pills. Their supply grew with each passing day.

These pills were all prepared for the Divine Formation of the Heavens!

The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens strengthened with each passing day. While some of the disciples of higher cultivations still struggled with their breakthroughs and their numbers did not increase substantially, the disciples that had joined much later basically made progress with each passing day given the abundant resources. It was not an exaggeration at all to say that they made substantial progress each day.

Jian Chen obviously noticed the changes with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, which left him very glad.

It had to be mentioned that with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ current strength, they were a large sect even when compared to an entire heaven. It was just because they had far too many enemies that they were forced to hide away in the Primeval Divine Hall.

Shortly afterwards, Jian Chen called over the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

“Make some preparations. We’ll be fighting and killing some enemies in a few days’ time,” Jian Chen said to the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s eyes immediately lit up in excitement. Black flames leapt about in his eyes as he cackled. “Sect master, are we going to deal with the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment?”

“Not the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment but two Immortal Exalts of the Hall Brilliance Heaven. They’re both Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts,” said Jian Chen.

“Two Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts? Leave it to me. My strength might not have recovered completely, but I still have my foundations at the Fourth Heavenly Layer. Dealing with two Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts won’t be a problem,” the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt said in guarantee. He did not have any objections to Jian Chen’s requests.

“It won’t be appropriate to let this battle draw out. We need to end it quickly. We need to hopefully kill them in a single stroke,” Jian Chen said in thought.

“Kill them in a single stroke?” The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt furrowed his brows. Given his current situation, he could face off against two Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts with his foundations as a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.

However, if it came to killing them in a single stroke, he could not do that even at his peak condition.

“Don’t worry about not being able to achieve that. I will be helping out on the side when the time comes,” said Jian Chen. Although he also possessed the strength to fend off Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts right now, it would definitely lead to a drawn out battle.

As a result, if he wanted to kill Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts swiftly, he needed the Immortal Devouring Orchid and the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt to participate.

More accurately, he needed the three of them to work together.

Afterwards, Jian Chen discussed the details with the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and the Immortal Devouring Orchid. He began making preparations for the upcoming battle.

If it were simply killing two Immortal Exalts, it would be a piece of cake with the strength that Jian Chen currently possessed. However, due to various considerations, Jian Chen hoped to minimise the disturbances when fighting. He did not want to draw over the various experts of the Hall Brilliance Heaven.

As a result, he had to properly plan out the upcoming operation.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. This short time had been a torturous wait to both the city lord of the Immortal Rising City, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, the eight clans, and all the cultivators trapped in the Immortal Rising City.

The eight clans did not know about Jian Chen’s existence. Under Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s orders, they had already begun preparing their final path of retreat. Many of their weaker clansmen had already been moved into various divine halls. They were ready to charge out of the encirclement as soon as the formation ran out of energy.

“Yang Yutian said he would do it in half a months’ time. Today is the last day.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu sat on his throne in the majestic city lord’s estate. He gazed at the empty hall with worry and uneasiness on his face.

The Immortal Rising City had lasted half a month under the Energy-absorbing Furnace’s assault, which cost them a tremendous amount of energy. Both the city lord’s estate and the eight clans had used up a vast amount of immortal crystals to maintain the formation’s operation.

Now, their supply of immortal crystals was only enough for them to last a few more days.

“I wonder how this gamble will turn out. Not only does this affect the future of the Immortal Rising City, but it also will determine my fate.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was anything but calm. Various thoughts filled his head.

“City lord, fellow Yang Yutian is here.” At this moment, vice city lord He Luo appeared in the hall with mixed feelings.

“Invite him in… No, this time, let me receive him personally.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu gathered his focus and immediately stood up, making his way outside.
