Chapter 3482: Tian Jizi
Jian Chen only felt a power so great that he could not resist envelop him. Before this power, he was like a lone boat in the raging ocean. He was that insignificant, such that the slightest gale or wave could doom him.
However, that state only lasted for a short instant. In the blink of an eye, he had left the secret room in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and arrived in an idyllic world.
This world was like a paradise. Wisps of mist curled through the air as spiritual birds soared around. The mountains obscured by the fog extended off one after another. It was lovely.
Meanwhile, Jian Chen discovered that he was at the top of one of these mountains. Beside him was a gazebo sculpted from jade, and the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets sat before a jade table inside it.
Faced with the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, Jian Chen became extremely stern. Even though he did not know his exact strength, the feeling he experienced for that instant earlier was like when he faced the Heartless Child and the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild.
“My friend, there’s no need to be so reserved here. Come, sit in front of me.” At this moment, the leader of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets waved at Jian Chen and smiled warmly.
Jian Chen cupped his fist at the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets before sitting down in front of him.
The master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets took out a jade bottle and took action personally, pouring a cup of spiritual fluid for both him and Jian Chen. “This is immortal alcohol of a myriad treasures that I’ve carefully brewed myself. It uses nine thousand, nine hundred, and ninety nine heavenly resources. Just the high grade God Tier heavenly resources almost amount to a hundred. It took a total of a hundred thousand years before I managed to produce just five litres of it. Normally, I can’t even bring myself to savour it.”
“My friend, why don’t you try the immortal alcohol of a mystriad treasures that I’ve brewed myself? Under normal circumstances, only Immortal Exalts can drink it or they’ll blow up from the sheer amount of energy it contains, but your Chaotic Body is already quite powerful. You should be able to withstand it.”
Jian Chen did not touch the alcohol. Instead, he cupped his fist at the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and asked politely, “Senior, you already know who I am?”
“I don’t know who you are, but I do know the sword spirits. From the moment you entered the Observance Heaven city, the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven city had already contacted me.” The master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets stared at Jian Chen, but he did not seem like he was looking at him. Instead, he seemed like he was looking at the sword spirits inside him.
“Zi Ying, Qing Suo, after over three million years, you’ve finally appeared in the Immortals’ World again.” The master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets sighed.
The sword spirits’ illusionary figures appeared over Jian Chen’s head. They remained in the same state of a handsome man and a beautiful woman. They seemed like a match made in heaven.
“Tian Jizi, we just knew you’d still be alive,“ the sword spirits looked at the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and said calmly.
The master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets smiled and said, “Our Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets holds itself in harmony with the world. We don’t participate in any grievances, nor do we fight over resources. We only live off selling information. Not only do we have no enemies in the Immortals’ World, but we even have friends abroad. Naturally, I can live for long.”
As he said that, the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets glanced at Jian Chen before asking the sword spirits, “However, I am very curious about why you got him to practise the Chaotic Body? You two sword spirits should be more than just aware of the downsides of Chaotic Force.”
“The Chaotic Body possesses an absolute advantage amongst its peers of the same cultivation, but after reaching Immortal Exalt, its advantages will gradually diminish. In the end, they will even end up as the weakest Immortal Exalt.”
“Our master is different. We’re certain our master can break through the restraints and create a miracle. The shackles of the Chaotic Body cannot tie him down,” said Qing Suo.
The master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “You two sword spirits are extremely rare natural spirits. Since you’ve said something like that, you must have your reasons. However, that all makes sense now. When I first learnt from the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven city that you had returned, I tried peering around with the techniques of divination. In the end, I actually failed to find anything about the person you chose at all.”
“There are only three circumstances when my divination fails.The first is that you possess a supreme treasure of extremely high quality that can conceal all of your presence. On top of that, the quality of this supreme treasure has to be beyond high quality god artifacts at the very least.”
“The sword spirits obviously aren’t. The two other sovereign god artifacts on you aren’t either. They don’t possess this ability.”
Jian Chen stiffened slightly. He never expected the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to even know that the Primeval Divine Hall and the Source of Life was on him.
However, he soon came to a realisation after some thought. The artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven city had probably divulged it to him.
“The second is for a Grand Exalt to use their exceptional methods to erase all of your information from the world, sealing away everything regarding you forever through their unbelievable powers. However, this requires tremendous effort from Grand Exalts. It’s not realistic either.”
“Because while Grand Exalts can do that, they have no need to do that. There’s no point.”
“Thirdly!” The master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets’ eyes suddenly shone. He stared straight at Jian Chen with his elderly eyes as if he was trying to see through everything that Jian Chen was hiding, trying to observe the deepest of his secrets. Afterwards, he emphasised word by word. “You’re a Grand Exalt!”
Jian Chen burst out laughing. “You must be joking, senior. How could I be a Grand Exalt?”
“I’m not talking about you right now. I’m talking about you in the past.” The master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets sighed gently and said, “Actually, even I have begun to wonder whether you’re the reincarnation of the Grand Exalt of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”
For a moment, Jian Chen had no idea what to say. This was not the first time he had been suspected to be the reincarnation of the Grand Exalt of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
The master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets did not dwell on this topic for too long. He picked up the jade cup with two fingers and began to try the alcohol. At the same time, he said to Jian Chen, “The spiritual qi in the immortal alcohol of a myriad treasures disperses with each passing moment. In order to ensure its proper taste, you best drink it soon.”
“Thank you, senior!” Jian Chen thanked him before picking up the jade cup and taking a slight sip. In the next moment, all of his hairs stood on end and colourful haze emerged from his body. At that moment, he became surrounded by hazy light.
The energy in the alcohol was far too terrifying. It possessed all sorts of effects. With a single sip, not only did Jian Chen feel his cultivation increase, but even his soul seemed to elevate. His entire body was filled with a sense of comfort.
Jian Chen could not help but shut his eyes and refine away the energy from the alcohol with all of his efforts. Only at this moment did he truly understand that it was not an exaggeration when the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets said a single cup of the alcohol could kill an Immortal Emperor.
Only after almost a minute did Jian Chen gradually recover. The mouthful of alcohol had actually made his Chaotic Force show signs of growth.
“My little friend, it was an extremely wise decision to not expose the twin swords after coming to the Immortals' World. Otherwise, with your current strength, it would have been very difficult for you to make it to the Reverent Observance Heaven unless you had a sovereign of the Immortals’ World supporting you from behind.” The master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets’words immediately made Jian Chen’s heart sink.
He did not know if the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets knew his true identity, but at the very least, he already knew he was a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor and had a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Devouring Orchid on him, coupled with the fact that he was hiding three sovereign god artifacts.
Despite all these trump cards, the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets still said with absolute certainty that he would not have made it to the Reverent Observance Heaven. The lurking danger was truly chilling.
At the very least, Jian Chen understood something from what the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had said. Even regular Immortal Exalts would probably not be of much use when faced with the danger lurking behind the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
“Senior, could you tell me exactly which organisations are secretly the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ enemies?” Jian Chen cupped his hands.
“Under normal circumstances, our Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets would ask for a rather demanding fee to answer this questions, but this time, considering how you are the successor of that senior, I’ll provide you with this information for free as a representative of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.” The master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets tidied through his thoughts and said, “These matters are quite complicated. Some of the reasons involved began three million years ago…”
