Chapter 2679: The Heavenly Crane Clan

The identity and status of a Grand Exalt’s successor was enough to make all cultivators in the Saints’ World envious. Even a few Grand Primes would be tempted and desire such an identity.

As a result, even though Jin Hong was not powerful, just a Godking, he seemed to have become the point of focus simply by standing there. He became the most dazzling figure in the surroundings.

As a matter of fact, even the Grand Prime from the Dire Wolf clan who had purposefully come to escort him treated him with great importance as if he were the supreme king of the clan.

“Young master Jin Hong, I am He Qianqian. I come from the Heavenly Crane clan of the Ice Pole Plane. I have been tasked by the seniors of my clan to remain within the World of the Fallen Beast for an entire decade. I do hope young master Jin Hong can watch out for me…” At this moment, a captivating woman appeared before Jin Hong and spoke gently.

She seemed to be around twenty years of age and was extremely beautiful, enough to enchant everyone. However, she gave off a sense of coldness that directly influenced the surroundings. It made the temperature around her suddenly plummet. Coupled with her snow-white dress, she seemed very much like a levitating ice beauty.

He Qianqian had clearly cultivated the Laws of Ice. Due to her cultivation method, wherever she stood seemed to be transformed into a world of frost.

“The Ice Pole Plane? The Ice Pole Plane of the seven sacred planes of the Saints’ World?”

“The Ice Pole Plane. That’s a place watched over by the Ice Goddess. The Ice Pole Plane is completely covered by a snowy tundra, making it the ultimate holy land for those who cultivate the Laws of Ice…”

“The Ice Goddess? Haha, the Ice Goddess Hall is under the control of the Moon God Hall now. It has even come to this, so why are you still talking about the Ice Goddess? The Ice Goddess has probably died a long time ago…”

“What? The Ice Goddess Hall is under the control of the Moon God Hall? That’s impossible…”

“The Ice Goddess has to be dead. Otherwise, how would the Ice Goddess Hall fall into the hands of others…”

“Sigh, out of the seven Grand Exalts of the Saints’ World in the past, the War God of the God clan who ranked first fell in battle, while the Space-Time Elder and the Anatta Grand Prime who stood at equal second and third place died as well. Now, even the Ice Goddess hasn’t managed to avoid that fate. I wonder just how many Grand Exalts of our Saints’ World still remain after that war back then…”

……

…

The Primordial realm experts in the surroundings had only been conversing casually, but many of them immediately sighed as soon as the Ice Goddess was mentioned. A few of them had personally witnessed the war back then. They could not help but give out emotional sighs at a time like this and show sorrow.

“It’s actually someone from the Ice Pole Plane. It looks like I need to find an opportunity to come in contact with He Qianqian. I might be able to learn about some matters regarding the Ice Goddess Hall and the Moon God Hall from her.” Jian Chen did not stand out at all among the crowd. He looked at He Qianqian high in the air, and the light in his eyes flickered.

He was rather worried about fairy Hao Yue. Quite some time had passed since fairy Hao Yue left, but there was still no news of her. He wondered how she was doing.

He was actually less worried about his sister, Changyang Mingyue. After all, his sister was under protector Shui’s protection, remaining hidden somewhere as she quietly recovered her strength. She was obviously much safer than fairy Hao Yue, who had directly dove into the belly of the beast.

After He Qianqian, a few more young ladies and young masters from various planes of the Saints’ World greeted Jin Hong. They were all extremely kind. Some of them even expressed their respect.

These young masters and young ladies were all under the age of a thousand. They were all part of the promising young generation, but their strength obviously was not close to Jin Hong’s. Only an extremely few of them had reached Godking. Most of them were Overgods.

However, even with that being the case, they possessed great statuses in their respective clans.

Even if reaching Overgod within a thousand years was not enough to rival supreme prodigies, they were still talented.

Not to mention that several of them had made it onto the Overgods’ Plaque!

Jian Chen ceased to pay attention to the matters between the clans. He discreetly arrived before a divine hall that stood to the side of the square.

The divine hall was a medium quality god artifact. Above the main entrance was a single, ancient word written boldly and powerfully, hiding the truths of the world—Heavenly Crane.

This was clearly the divine hall that belonged to the Heavenly Crane clan, equivalent to a temporary resting spot on the square. Not only would it be convenient for members of the Heavenly Crane clan to enter the World of the Fallen Beast from here, but it also provided a safe and secretive location for the Heavenly Crane clan to purchase some heavenly resources that came out of the World of the Fallen Beast.

There were several dozen divine halls like the Heavenly Crane clan’s scattered across the square. Every single one of them represented a great organisation in the Saints’ World.

Jian Chen even saw a divine hall that belonged to the Cloudsurge Empire of the Delight Plane.

The entrance to the Heavenly Crane clan’s divine hall was open. Two Godkings stood at the entrance like statues. They were guards.

However, these two Godkings had already surpassed a thousand years old. Their eyes were filled with age. Who knows how many tens of thousand years they had lived for already. They were cultivators with limited talent. There were a lot of people like them in the Saints’ World. They would basically remain like that for the rest of their lives if they did not come across any major fortuitous encounters.

“Stop. This is the base of the Heavenly Crane clan. Why have you come?” As soon as Jian Chen approached the divine hall, a Godking stopped him and asked emotionlessly.

“I want to join the Heavenly Crane clan in order to enter the World of the Fallen Beast. Please pass this on for me.” Jian Chen clasped his fist. At the same time, he passed some supreme grade divine crystals to the guard secretly.

Jian Chen had already understood the rules here. Many peak organisations of the Saints’ World had operations in the World of the Fallen Beast. However, due to the entry conditions being far too strict, none of the peak organisations could maneuver too much of their power out of the World of the Fallen Beast for the sake of their interests. As a result, they could only recruit outsiders to make up for the absence in power.

The recruitment was not particularly restrictive. It was basically only effective in the Spirits’ World. Once these recruited people returned to the Saints’ World, the peak organisations would never recognise their assistance. They would only make exceptions for those who had committed deeds of great merit.

The eyes of the two guards lit up as soon as they saw the supreme grade divine crystals. They ravished in joy and immediately turned much more friendly. “Please wait, brother. I’ll contact the caretaker immediately.” As he said that, the senses of his soul immediately shot into the depths of the divine hall.

Before long, a peak Godking old man emerged from the divine hall. The old man clearly possessed quite a lot of authority here. He had grown accustomed to his power here, so he obviously developed a sense of arrogance. He stood with his hands behind his back and his chin raised high, looking down on everything. He looked down on Jian Chen from above and said haughtily, “Kid, you want to join our Heavenly Crane clan to enter the World of the Fallen Beast? What’s your name? Where do you come from in the Saints’ World? Under who did you study?”
