Chapter 3674: The Venerable Arrives in Person

“The Heavenly Talisman Venerable?” Jian Chen thought to himself. He had only arrived in the Immortals’ World recently, so his knowledge of the peak experts of the Immortals’ World was quite lacking. However, he soon asked the sword spirits.

“Zi Ying, Qing Suo, do you know the Heavenly Talisman Venerable?”

“The Heavenly Talisman Venerable? I didn’t expect him to still be alive.” Zi Ying and Qing Suo answered very quickly. There was a hint of speechlessness. “The Heavenly Talisman Venerable is one of the most reputed and senior peak experts of the Immortals’ World. When the old master first forged us, the Heavenly Talisman Venerable had already spent at least a hundred million years as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.”

“In terms of age alone, even our old master is the Heavenly Talisman Venerable’s junior.”

Jian Chen was greatly shocked. He had never expected that the Heavenly Talisman Venerable was so impressive. Not only was he a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, but he had remained at that realm for over a hundred million years as well.

He Yu was actually the disciple of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt!

“The Heavenly Talisman Venerable is a person of great reputation in the Immortals’ World. He is upright in character and once possessed friends far and wide. He has assisted many people before. Even our old master showed great respect towards the Heavenly Talisman Venerable. If this person is the Heavenly Talisman Venerable’s disciple, then you can’t harass him, master,” Qing Suo said.

The sword spirits’ information immediately made Jian Chen change his attitude towards He Yu slightly. After a moment of thought, he said, “Since you are the Heavenly Talisman Venerable’s disciple, then I’ll agree to your condition for his sake.”

“However, you can only stay in my personal divine hall.”

In response, Immortal Emperor He Yu beamed with joy as if he had already gotten his revenge. He bowed and thanked him.

“Brother He Yu, won’t this be a little inappropriate? What if this senior isn’t the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ opponent? Wouldn’t… wouldn’t we be shooting ourselves in the foot?” Jun Yiming communicated carefully. He was uneasy.

“Don’t worry. Since I’m bold enough to stay behind, I obviously have a certain level of confidence. Even at worst, I can leave with ease.” Immortal Emperor He Yu did not communicate secretly, instead answering with composure. Clearly, he was aware that it was very difficult for their conversation to remain a secret before someone with Jian Chen’s strength.

Jian Chen glanced deeply at Immortal Emperor He Yu before extending his hand. A tiny and detailed divine hall hovered there. It was a medium quality god artifact that had been shrunken down.

“If that’s the case, the four of you can go in first,” Jian Chen said to He Yu and the three Immortal Emperors of the Jun family.

At the same time, the entrance of the divine hall opened up. A suction force emerged, enveloping the four of them.

The force was not powerful. With their strength as Immortal Emperors, they could break free from it with the slightest resistance.

However, right when the four of them were about to enter the divine hall, an old man in the robes of a daoist priest suddenly appeared.

His robes were extremely old and shabby, covered in patches. The old man’s appearance was nothing special as well. He possessed no features that attracted any attention.

With the old daoist priest’s arrival, the suction force from the divine hall was immediately interrupted.

Jian Chen narrowed his eyes. He stared straight at the old man as he raised his guard.

Even with his strength, he failed to sense the old man’s arrival. He was clearly standing right there, but he was also like empty air. If Jian Chen shut his eyes, he would not be able to sense this person’s existence at all.

“Master, w-what brings you here?” Immortal Emperor He Yu was pleasantly surprised as if he never expected anything like this.

The way Immortal Emperor He Yu referred to the old daoist priest immediately made Jian Chen’s mind shudder. He instantly identified the old man. He clasped his fist and bowed. “Greetings, Heavenly Talisman Venerable!”

The Heavenly Talisman Venerable glanced deeply at Jian Chen before smiling slightly. He nodded towards Jian Chen amicably before turning his attention to Immortal Emperor He Yu. He sighed gently and said, “Oh you, you sure know how to make your master worry. Not only have you secretly run here to the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, but you even want to participate in its destruction. You probably don’t know just how severe this matter is.”

He Yu immediately behaved like a child who had made a mistake, answering softly with his head lowered, “You’re right, master. However, I had no plans on doing anything to the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. I only wanted to serve as a spectator.”

“A spectator? Hmph, this is nowhere near as simple as you think it to be. Do you really think the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is incapable of finding out about everything?” the Heavenly Talisman Venerable said seriously.

Immortal Emperor He Yu lowered his head deeply. He did not dare to say anything.

Looking at Immortal Emperor He Yu’s behaviour, the Heavenly Talisman Venerable sighed deeply and said, “How many times have I told you? Stop seeking revenge from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. If you really want revenge, then you need to wait for a proper opportunity, but right now is nowhere close to that. Instead, you’ve snuck in here and killed a great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”

“Master, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants lost ten great elders and several dozen Immortal Monarch elders a thousand years ago. Didn’t they just accept the loss quietly?” Immortal Emperor He Yu said.

“The situation back then is different because it had to do with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. The karmic connections behind the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is very messy and complicated…” As if the Heavenly Talisman Venerable did not want to dwell on that topic, he suddenly stopped before telling He Yu sternly, “Anyway, you can’t get involved with the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Now is not the time for revenge yet.”

As soon as he said that, the Heavenly Talisman Venerable swung his hand, and Immortal Emperor He Yu vanished with the three Immortal Emperors from the Jun family.

Afterwards, the Heavenly Talisman Venerable looked at Jian Chen. His gaze immediately deepened as if a sea of stars were nurtured within his eyes, encompassing all of creation.

“Do you really plan on destroying these people from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants?” the Heavenly Talisman Venerable asked sternly.

Jian Chen nodded and said, “The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has an insurmountable grievance with my sect. I’m only collecting some interest on the debt today.”

“Since you’ve already made up your mind, I won’t stop you, but the three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains that you are looking for are placed in the central high quality divine hall,” said the Heavenly Talisman Venerable.

However, when Jian Chen heard that, it was no different from a bombshell. It made his heart heave.

How did the Heavenly Talisman Venerable know he was searching for the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains?

“As a result, if you want to reclaim the three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains, you need to find a way to open up the divine hall. The existence of the three Energy-gathering Mountains has provided the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants with a tremendous amount of spiritual Qi, allowing them to maintain the tremendous expenditure of spiritual Qi across the entire sect at a very small cost.”

“Whether it’s the protective formation or the powerful trump cards left here by the ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, they all require a tremendous amount of energy to activate. As a result, if you really want to take a proper shot at the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, you need to sever the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ supply of spiritual Qi.”

“If you can’t achieve that, then you’ll probably struggle to escape from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants even with the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race and the high quality god artifact armour that can hide your traces.”

“That’s because the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants possesses a sovereign god artifact. The sovereign god artifact was bestowed upon the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants a million years ago by the Sacred Beast clan. Even though the sovereign god artifact is already damaged, once it’s activated, it can instantly seize all living creatures within the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Even mid Immortal Exalts will struggle to break free.”

When he heard that, Jian Chen’s heart lurched. The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants actually possessed a damaged sovereign god artifact?

That had indeed surpassed his expectations.

However, what surprised Jian Chen even more was that the Heavenly Talisman Venerable even knew about the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race and the Divine Armour of Heavenflight.

That meant all of his disguises were no different from useless before the Heavenly Talisman Venerable.

“The sovereign god artifact’s energy is entirely supplied by the three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains, so as long as the three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains stop operating, the sovereign god artifact will become useless.”

“As for the three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains, because the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is unfamiliar with the complete method of use, they’re unable to make the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains self-sufficient, where they can sustain themselves by the spiritual Qi they draw in. As a result, they’re forced to power them using an external energy source.”

“And this external energy source is the three Skyfire Volcanoes. Once the three Skyfire Volcanoes are destroyed, the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains will obviously stop operating.”
