Chapter 2393: The Elder of Mountains and Seas
Not only did Jian Chen wear Mo Tianyun’s mask and conceal his presence, he even altered his stature drastically. Kai Ya also used a disguise.
Neither of them used their true appearances.
“The two of them are only Godkings, yet they’ve come through an interplanar teleportation formation. You can tell with a single glance that they have a huge background...”
“That’s an interplanar teleportation formation. It’s said that a single transportation comes at an astronomical price, where even regular Primordial realm experts can’t afford it...”
Jian Chen and Kai Ya’s arrival immediately attracted the attention of the people around the teleportation formation. Many of the studied Jian Chen and Kai Ya as they discussed among themselves softly.
“Let’s go,” said Jian Chen before immediately vanishing into the sea of people with Kai Ya.
At the same time, on the distant Desolate Plane, all the peak experts were no longer in the mood to look for Jian Chen and fight over the Anatta Tower anymore after what happened with the Bloodtear Grand Exalt. All of them left the Desolate Plane and returned to their clans with no idea about how to deal with Gusta’s flesh and blood.
However, there was one exception.
He was a hook-nosed old man that had short hair. He was the ancestor of a large organisation on the Aqua Plane of the forty-nine great planes in the Saints’ World. People called him the Elder of Mountains and Seas.
Although the Elder of Mountains and Seas had already left the Desolate Plane, he was in no hurry to return to the Aqua Plane. Instead, he sat in the sea of stars and used a secret technique, as if he was trying to sense something.
Quite a long while later, the Elder of Mountains and Seas opened his eyes slowly, and a gleam of excitement appeared in his eyes. He sniggered and said, “Jian Chen, I’ve already seen your true appearance when I was outside the Sword God Mountains. You would have never thought that I possess an innate ability that allows me to find anyone, no matter how far they’ve fled, no matter how well they’ve hidden, as long as I’ve seen them before.”
“Before I saw you, there was nothing that I could do. I wouldn’t have been able to find you no matter how I tried forecasting or peering into your matters. However, since I’ve seen you, there’s nowhere for you to hide. Hehe, I’ve already found you. I never thought you would have actually managed to leave the Desolate Plane without raising anyone’s attention.”
“However, that is perfect for me. Even if I took the Anatta Tower from you on the Desolate Plane, it might not necessarily end up with me. But now that you’ve left the Desolate Plane secretly, only I know about your whereabouts. It looks like the Anatta Tower is mine.”
“Hehehehe, here comes my fortuitous encounter. Jian Chen, I would like to see how you hide now...”
The Elder of Mountains and Seas sneered excitedly. Immediately, he took off in the direction he could vaguely sense. He moved extremely quickly, vanishing into the sea of stars with a few flashes.
Elsewhere, Jian Chen and Kai Ya had asked around and found out their current location. They were on the Jadefluid Plane, and they current stood within an imperial capital of the Shenquan Empire, one of the everlasting empires there.
The Jadefluid Plane ranked slightly lower than the Desolate Plane among the forty-nine great planes.
In reality, the Jadefluid Plane matched the Desolate Plane in terms of peak experts. The only thing they lacked was a peak expert who could astound the entire plane like the Celestial Sword Saint.
“The Jadefluid Plane is far too close to the Desolate Plane, so we can’t stay here for long. We need to leave as soon as possible,” Jian Chen said as he felt secretly vexed. Due to leaving in too great of a hurry, he did not select a transportation location. In the end, the unkempt old man had sent them to the closest Jadefluid Plane.
He had spent a total of one thousand five-colored divine crystals, yet he had been sent to a location that he could reach with a few dozen. He had indeed suffered quite a loss in the deal.
Now, the five-colored divine crystals that he had obtained after so much effort were all spent.
“The Jadefluid Plane is indeed not safe. If the people on the Desolate Plane want to come here, it won’t take them long even without teleportation formations. We can’t end up trapped like last time,” said Kai Ya in agreement. Obviously, she believed that the further they were from the Desolate Plane, the safer they would be.
After a while of thought, Jian Chen said, “We’re out of five-colored divine crystals, so we won’t be able to use the teleportation formations to travel anymore. We can only take a spatial battleship off the Jadefluid Plane.”
“Then where should we go?” Kai Ya asked.
“The Anatta Tower is an object of desire. I plan on returning the Anatta Tower to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng in exchange for great merit,” said Jian Chen. He understood that he would never have peace as long as the Anatta Tower was on him. He would become the target of many peak experts.
If these people looked into his background and found the Tian Yuan clan, there would be a lot of trouble.
After all, he had left the Cloud Plane many years ago. He had no idea about the Tian Yuan clan’s current situation.
Although Ming Dong had already ventured to the Tian Yuan clan after leaving the Neptunean Divine Palace, Jian Chen needed to prepare for the worst.
Before long, Jian Chen and Kai Ya arrived at the spatial port of the Shenquan Empire. They were ready to take a spatial battleship that went to the Prosper Plane where the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng stood.
Although they were already powerful enough to travel through outer space lone, their speed would be much slower than a spatial battleship.
After all, even the spatial battleships of the lowest quality moved much faster than Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes. It would be impossible to match their speed unless there was a Chaotic Prime.
Even if he used the Laws of Space with his current strength, he would not be able to outspeed a spatial battleship.
However, when he checked the amount of time required to go to the Prosper Plane, Jian Chen became troubled.
The Jadefluid Plane was extremely distant from the Prosper Plane. They had to pass through several great planes and over a dozen planets. The journey alone would take several tens of thousand years.
Moreover, this did not include the time that would be wasted by the disturbance of various space beasts and by avoiding areas of danger. The journey would take even longer once such things were considered.
Jian Chen could not afford to wait such a long time.
“Let’s go to the Star Brilliance Plane. The Star Brilliance Plane is the closest to the Jadefluid Plane. It’ll only take over a decade to get there. I’ll be able to use that time to properly cultivate on the spatial battleship.” Jian Chen quickly came to a decision. Now, not only did he possess five droplets of essence blood from Gusta, but he also possessed Gusta’s energy reserve, the fleshly core.
With such tremendous energy on hand, he did not have to worry about cultivation resources to reach the fifteenth or even sixteenth layer now, let alone breaking through to the fourteenth layer of the Chaotic Body.
As long as his comprehension of laws was sufficient, he could immediately breakthrough with his Chaotic Body.
Afterwards, Jian Chen changed his appearance once again, becoming a middle-aged man with a stature not too burly or slender through Mo Tianyun’s mask. Afterwards, he boarded the spatial battleship with Kai Ya, hurrying off to the Star Brilliance Plane.
Before long, the spatial battleship rose up to outer space and left the Jadefluid Plane, gliding through outer space.
Jian Chen immediately entered secluded cultivation. He personally cast down a formation before immediately absorbing the energy within Gusta’s essence blood to break through to the fourteenth layer of the Chaotic Body.
The thirteenth layer of the Chaotic Body had bestowed upon him the battle prowess to fight and kill early Infinite Primes. But in reality, his level of cultivation was only peak Godking in terms of how cultivation was divided in the Saints’ World.
It was the fourteenth layer of the Chaotic Body that matched up with Infinite Primes in the Saints’ World.
After all, the Chaotic Body was a completely different system of cultivation. Both the systems used in the Saints’ World and the Immortals’ World differed greatly. It was impossible to make an accurate comparison between the different cultivation systems. He could only roughly determine where he was.
“The fourteenth layer of the Chaotic Body is equivalent to Infinite Primes in the Saints’ World, while the fifteenth layer is also equivalent to Infinite Primes. I presume that the fourteenth layer is around the peak of early Infinite Prime, so around the Third Heavenly Layer.”
“The fifteenth layer is equivalent to late Infinite Prime, which is from the Seventh to the Ninth Heavenly Layers. The sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth layers should correspond to early, mid and late Chaotic Prime.”
“The eighteenth layer is the limit of the Chaotic Prime, which is peak Chaotic Prime.”
“That is because none of the people in the Immortals’ World who had cultivated the Chaotic Body has managed to surpass the eighteenth layer and reach the legendary Great Perfection.”
“This Great Perfection is equivalent to Grand Primes of the Saints’ World and Immortal Exalts of the Immortals’ World...”
Jian Chen thought to himself. Although the final limit of the Chaotic Body was Chaotic Prime, and he might never be able to progress any further than that, he did not become downhearted at all. Instead, his fighting spirit was riled up. He had to disprove the rumour that the Chaotic Body could never reach Great Perfection. He would reach the highest level of the Chaotic Body.
