Chapter 3796: The Materials Gathered
“Master, the leader of the Hall of Alchemy seeks you.” The voice of the Primeval artifact spirit rang out in Jian Chen’s head.
Jian Chen immediately sent a wisp of his soul into the Primeval Divine Hall. Over ten thousand disciples that had used high grade Godking pills to break through to Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal currently sat before him, ingesting Immortal Tier pills every now and then to rapidly recover their exhausted energy.
“Greetings, sect master!” Dan Chenzi bowed down by Jian Chen’s side out of respect.
“Dan Chenzi, you’re looking for me?” Jian Chen’s gaze was gentle. The Hall of Alchemy that Dan Chenzi led had played an extremely great role in why he could use the Divine Formation of the Heavens again and again. They were why he could use his greatest trump card freely.
“Sect master, I do indeed have something to report. The heavenly resources required for refining supreme grade Immortal Tier pills are close to running out. Although there are several million heavenly resources that have been moved into the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, these heavenly resources vary in quality, and they have different functions as well.”
“As a result, basically all of the heavenly resources that can be refined into recovery pills have been picked clean.”
“After all, the energy required for the Divine Formation of the Heavens is far too startling. Activating it once basically completely drains the energy of all the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals. Every single one of them needs to consume several supreme grade Immortal Tier pills if they want to make a complete recovery as quickly as possible.”
“With over ten thousand Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals, each activation depletes several tens of thousand supreme grade Immortal Tier pills. No matter how many supreme grade Immortal Tier pills we have, we’ll run out eventually.”
Dan Chenzi felt pained and helpless. The Divine Formation of the Heavens was very powerful, but it was not something that any organisation could afford to use.
“How many recovery supreme grade Immortal Tier pills still remain?” Jian Chen asked.
“Probably only enough to use the Divine Formation of the Heavens another two times,” Dan Chenzi said.
There were multiple ways to recover energy. Absorbing the spiritual Qi in the surroundings or using various kinds of immortal crystals were both options.
However, neither of these two methods were as fast as consuming supreme grade Immortal Tier pills.
As Jian Chen did not know when he would encounter a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt like the Transcension Ancestor, the order he gave to the disciples was to return to their peak condition as soon as possible. He wanted to ensure that the Divine Formation of the Heavens could be used at any moment.
That would drastically increase the demand on his supplies, but at a time like this, he could not afford to be stingy.
“Give me a list of materials. I’ll do my best to gather them!”
After accepting a list of materials from Dan Chenzi, Jian Chen picked a few God Tier heavenly resources from the medicinal gardens in the Primeval Divine Hall before leaving.
The God Tier heavenly resources were all for soul recovery.
After killing the Space-purging Ancestor, Jian Chen also began raising his vigilance. He knew that the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment would suspect him very soon. Perhaps the Transcension Ancestor would come to find him in the near future, so he had to make all of his preparations.
“Senior, there’s an old man outside who wishes to see you. I can’t see through his cultivation. He claims to be from the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance.” Jing Feng’s voice rang out from outside.
“Invite him in!” Jian Chen’s voice rang out. He already knew who it was.
Very soon, Jian Chen sat together with elder Ling from the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance in the guest room.
“Fellow, these are the heavenly resources that you wanted. During this time, our Merchant Union of Star Brilliance coordinated some shipments from the branches on other heavens. The first batch has already arrived. That’s thirty thousand sets in total.” Elder Ling personally passed a Space Ring over to Jian Chen. He was clearly more enthusiastic than before, even showing some signs of being overly cautious.
“This is only the first batch. I will deliver the next few batches one by one in the future. I was worried about making you wait, which is why I delivered the first batch to you immediately as soon as it had arrived.”
“This is a mere trifle, so you can just send your subordinates. There’s no need for you to come in person, fellow.” Jian Chen smiled gently. He knew the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance had probably found out something. Otherwise, elder Ling would never have come personally to deliver a batch of low level heavenly resources with his status as a mighty Immortal Emperor.
“Oh right, I have another list of heavenly resources here. Hopefully, you can gather them for me. The more the better, with no limit on it, but I do need them as sets.” Jian Chen conveniently gave the list of materials from Dan Chenzi to elder Ling before passing over another Space Ring. “This is the down payment!”
“This combination of heavenly resources should be for a certain supreme grade Immortal Tier recovery pill, right?” Elder Ling immediately recognised the pill that Jian Chen was trying to refine, but he did not ask any further as a sensible man. He accepted the list of materials and left the courtyard.
Jian Chen studied the first batch of materials for refining high grade Godking pills that elder Ling had brought over. He smiled slightly. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens currently had eleven thousand Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals. He had purchased fifteen thousand sets of materials for refining high grade Godking pills from the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance last time.
Coupled with the thirty thousand sets now, he had finally found the means to assemble the fifty thousand Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals required for the Divine Formation of the Heavens.
Even if the refinement process failed a few times, it would not have any impact.
“What I lack right now is only time! Once I assemble fifty thousand Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals, the Divine Formation of the Heavens will be even more startling.” Jian Chen clutched the Space Ring. His eyes were filled with anticipation.
Afterwards, Jian Chen shut himself in the secret room again. He ingested the God Tier heavenly resources to recover the power of the soul he had expended due to the Profound Sword Qi.
During the time he spent in secluded cultivation, the Hall Brilliance Heaven had been anything but peaceful. The appearance of the Fiend Soul Banner seemed to rile up a few major figures. Under the Warring Old Freak of the War sect’s calling, he gathered a few righteous Immortal Exalts together and formed a terrifying force that no one could resist, carrying out a fine search through all the peak organisations on the Hall Brilliance Heaven.
The Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment did not join them. At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire sect was extraordinarily heavy. From the regular disciples beneath Golden Immortal to the Immortal Emperor great elders, everyone’s hearts weighed heavily.
That was because they had already found out that one of their three ancestors, the Space-purging Ancestor, had perished outside.
The Space-purging Ancestor’s death had dealt a heavy blow to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.
In the forbidden grounds of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, the Flying Leaf Ancestor gathered with the Transcension Ancestor.
The Transcension Ancestor was still a clone.
“Senior brother, the Warring Old Freak and the others are currently searching the entire Hall Brilliance Heaven. They’re not going to find anything, are they?” The Flying Leaf Ancestor stood beside the Transcension Ancestor in complete worry.
A powerful formation operated around the two, isolating everything inside the tower.
“You don’t have to worry about this. Even if they turn every rock on the Hall Brilliance Heaven upside down, they’ll never find any traces that connect to me. I understand what a demonic god artifact like the Fiend Soul Banner means better than anyone, so I’ve already made ample preparations to forge it. I’ve considered all of the consequences and eliminated all risks.”
“Even those smaller organisations under my control on the Hall Brilliance Heaven won’t leave behind any clues. Even if the Warring Old Freak noticed their actions, he won’t find any connection with me. It’ll be useless even if they search their souls.”
“Unless… they can find a demonic expert who possesses extremely great mastery over souls who will go to extremely great lengths, dissecting and searching through their souls strand by strand. Only then do they have a chance.”
“But even in the Demons’ World, there are only a handful of experts that possess such mastery over souls, let alone the Immortals’ World.”
“As a result, the chances are basically zero,” the Transcension Ancestor said with certainty. He was extremely confident in his methods.
“Then I don’t have to worry.” The Flying Leaf Ancestor was completely relieved. Her heart sitting in her throat finally settled back down.
“We shouldn’t be thinking about the Fiend Soul Banner right now. Instead, we should be worrying about your senior brother Space-purging. How did he die, and who did he die to?” the Space-purging Ancestor said.
