Chapter 3784: Remnants of a Grand Exalt

“Alright, master!” Jing Mumu nodded before shutting her eyes and releasing the senses of her soul carefully. In a timid manner, it slowly approached the speck of dust.

Jian Chen’s eyes shone brightly, observing Jing Mumu without shifting his gaze.

The speck of dust was extremely exceptional. He struggled to tell its origins; he could not even recognise its material.

However, the sword intent that radiated from the speck of dust even brought a strong sense of discomfort to Jian Chen’s soul, making him feel like it was tearing apart. If he had been any weaker, the influence and damage would have been even more severe.

As a result, when Jing Mumu’s soul approached the speck of dust, Jian Chen was already prepared. As soon as something went wrong, he would forcefully intervene to prevent her from suffering any damage.

But fortunately, Jian Chen’s worries were unnecessary. Perhaps because there was a destiny between the speck of dust and Jing Mumu, or perhaps because of certain other reasons, Jing Mumu did not face any resistance or harm when her soul approached the speck of dust.

Her soul approached the speck of dust without any obstruction, but in the next moment, Jing Mumu seemed to make a great discovery. Her face was filled with deep shock as she dazed out.

Jian Chen narrowed his eyes. He knew Jing Mumu must have discovered something, which left him intrigued.

With his current cultivation and experiences, he could see through the nature of many substances in the world and roughly understand what they were. However, the speck of dust left him completely stumped. Not only was it able to perfectly blend into anything, but it was also indestructible. Naturally, he was curious.

At this moment, Jing Mumu’s mind seemed to be entirely submerged in the speck of dust. She was entranced.

Jian Chen levitated a metre in the air with his legs crossed, patiently waiting for Jing Mumu to rouse. He could sense that Jing Mumu was not in any danger. However, the wisp of the senses of her soul that she released had vanished. It seemed like it had entered the speck of dust.

This wait lasted for several hours before Jing Mumu’s soul finally returned. As she opened her eyes, excitement flooded her beautiful face. She said in delight, “Master, I know what this is now. Why don’t you guess what I discovered?”

Seeing how happy Jing Mumu was, Jian Chen could not help but smile gently. “Your soul seemed to vanish when it approached this time. On top of that, you were gone for several hours. As a result, I deduce that there is quite a large space in the speck of dust. Perhaps there is even a very large miniature world.”

“Sure enough, I can’t hide anything from master. Master is right. There is indeed a very large miniature world inside, except the world inside is very barren, without any signs of life,” said Jing Mumu.

“So it really is a miniature world.” Jian Chen was amazed. He gazed at the speck of dust that was almost invisible to the naked eye and said, “Then what did you discover?”

“Master, the miniature world was far too big. I couldn’t even reach the boundary. I was just worried about making master wait for too long, so I exited the miniature world early to let master know.”

“However, I could vaguely sense a calling from the depths of the miniature world. However, it was extremely far away, so I didn’t know whether I should go or not.”

Jing Mumu was conflicted.

“Mumu, enter the world again and head off in the direction that you sense. Don’t worry about me,” said Jian Chen.

“Alright, master!” Jing Mumu seemed like she only lacked a person to make decisions for her. As soon as Jian Chen said that, she eagerly entered the world within the speck of dust.

“Master, if I’ve guessed correctly, the speck of dust in your hand should be the remnants of a supreme expert!” The artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall’s voice rang out at this moment.

“What? This is the remnants of an expert?” Jian Chen narrowed his eyes when he heard that and studied the speck of dust in his hand closely again, but he still failed to see anything special about it.

It was as if the level that this item touched upon had already completely surpassed the limits of his knowledge.

“Primeval artifact spirit, in your opinion, what kind of cultivation did the expert that this speck of dust originated from have?” Jian Chen asked. He could only sense that the speck of dust in his hand was even tougher than high quality god artifacts. As for its limits, he had no concept at all, as that required a cultivation of Immortal Exalt at the very least to estimate.

The artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall fell silent. After a good while, it responded slowly with a stern tone, “It’s a Saint, an extremely powerful and ancient Saint, even more powerful than my old master, the Saint of Grand Clarity.”

Jian Chen’s hand jerked, and the speck of dust in his hand almost fell to the ground. The artifact spirit’s words were like a bombshell to him, leaving him stunned.

A Saint? The speck of dust in his hand was the remnants of a Saint?

That conclusion left Jian Chen’s heart churning.

“This girl Jing Mumu actually managed to find the remnants of a Grand Exalt in a place like the appraisal fair?” For a moment, Jian Chen had no idea what to say. Most importantly, Jing Mumu had even managed to purchase this item for just a hundred thousand supreme grade immortal crystals.

Jian Chen sank into his thoughts. His thoughts ran amuck.

“Remnants that turned into a speck of dust… even after all these years, it still remains so tough, which is enough to deduce that the Saint’s body must have been extremely powerful.”

“As soon as this speck of dust makes contact with certain substances, it can blend in perfectly. Both its colour and presence will change, almost merging perfectly with anything in the world. This should be the way that the Saint comprehended, or it’s an innate ability.”

“The speck of dust emitted powerful sword intent once it made contact with Jing Mumu’s blood. This is the Laws of the Sword.”

“From that, it’s quite obvious that the Saint was also a Sword God. As for why Jing Mumu’s blood is able to awaken the sword intent inside the dust, it should be because of the Sword Constitution of Soul Connection.”

Jian Chen rapidly deduced more information from these leads.

In the blink of an eye, it had already been three days since Jing Mumu’s soul entered the world within the speck of dust. After waiting patiently for three days, Jing Mumu finally exited the miniature world. Her face was filled with exhaustion. She had over-exhausted her soul.

However, she was extremely dejected and extremely sorrowful.

“My dear disciple, what did you experience inside?” Jian Chen furrowed his brows slightly after noticing the change in Jing Mumu’s emotions.

“Master, I reached the place that was calling me. I discovered a set of bones there.”
