Chapter 3580: Meeting the Pavilion Master Again

Zi Ying and Qing Suo both tried to persuade Jian Chen to give up on the idea of visiting the Observance Heaven City.

They were once superior existences that ranked the highest and the strongest among sovereign god artifacts. Especially after they fused together, their might was startling.

Yet now, they were being forced to become subordinates of the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City. The idea repulsed them as they found it difficult to accept.

In the Observance Heaven City, the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City possessed paramount authority. Regardless of your post in the Observance Heaven City, including the city lord, they were all considered subordinates of the Observance Heaven City.

And as their master, if Jian Chen fell under the control of the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City, the two of them would obviously be bound to it as well. Under certain circumstances, they would be forced to obey it.

Jian Chen also understood how the sword spirits felt, but he was in far too much of a hurry to awaken the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall. After all, only the artifact spirit could awaken the slumbering generals.

Now that he had finally found a way to awaken the artifact spirit after so much difficulty, he obviously did not want it to slip away.

Otherwise, if he kept waiting like this, who knew how long he would have to wait for. It could be tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, or even longer.

Afterwards, Jian Chen tried his best to convince the sword spirits. He provided the sword spirits with various reasons and delved into the advantages and disadvantages, doing everything within his ability to change their minds.

In the end, after tremendous effort, he finally managed to convince them, albeit barely, such that the sword spirits no longer objected.

“Master, even if you want to take up a post in the Observance Heaven City, you might not be able to, as the posts are only freed up once every ten thousand years. Whenever they renew the posts of the Observance Heaven City, countless immortals gather and contend for each post in a violent struggle.”

“As a result, every post in the Observance Heaven City is filled to the brim for every generation. There are never any missing positions. Once a post is confirmed, it cannot be contended for anymore,” said Zi Ying.

Jian Chen furrowed his brows. He felt like a bucket of cold water had just been poured over his hopeful heart. It immediately turned frigid. “Are you saying that I’m forced to wait for the next generation if I want a post in the Observance Heaven City?”

“Logically, yes. However, there’s something else. Although the sacred land of the Observance Heaven City produces Stainless Qi, this Stainless Qi cannot be obtained so easily. As for the exact reason behind the difficulty, we don’t know. After all, we basically would never pay attention to these trifles in the past,” said Qing Suo.

Jian Chen’s eyes shone like he was peering around. He frowned. “There are still six thousand years before the next change of posts.”

When the Observance Heaven City changed posts was not some secret. It was public information, so Jian Chen was able to peer into it very quickly.

After a moment of thought, Jian Chen equipped the Divine Armour of Heavenflight and vanished from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

Before long, Jian Chen appeared outside the Observance Heaven City. He disguised himself with the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race before taking out the tablet he had obtained when he entered the city the first time. With that, he successfully set foot in the Observance Heaven City.

As soon as he entered the Observance Heaven City, he made his way straight towards the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

“Fellow, may I ask how we can serve you?” A Golden Immortal female disciple received him enthusiastically in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

“I want to see your pavilion master!” Jian Chen said calmly.

When she heard that, the female disciple was taken aback before smiling wryly. “Senior, this is no longer something that I can decide. Please wait in the guest room for a moment. I’ll report this to the elder immediately!”

However, as soon as the female disciple said that, a great energy suddenly appeared like it had crossed through time and space, enveloping Jian Chen and immediately vanishing.

The sudden occurrence left the female disciple from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets dumbfounded.

At this moment, a clumsy old man hurried down from the steps. He looked around with uncertainty before looking at the female disciple. He was stern. “What happened just now?”

“E-elder... Greetings, elder...” The female disciple immediately began to panic. She bowed to the old man frantically before describing exactly what she saw earlier.

The old man’s expression became mixed when he heard the female disciple’s description. He murmured, “It’s the pavilion master. That’s strange, who is this person? Why would he come to our external-facing office if he wants to see the pavilion master? Out of all the experts who possess the right to meet with our pavilion master, who would come here? Don’t they all make their way to the World of Heavenly Secrets and wait there?”

“Yet he just happened to receive the attention of the pavilion master, and he was taken away so quickly.”

The old man became more surprised and shocked the more he thought about it. He blurted out, “What are the origins of this person...”

......

...

In the paradise-like miniature world, the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets sat inside a stone pavilion. He was engrossed in a simple book held in his hand.

Jian Chen stood cautiously before the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and bowed towards him politely.

Meeting with the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets again, the pavilion master seemed more and more mysterious in his eyes. He did not know the pavilion master’s exact cultivation, but he did know that he truly was no different from an ant in the pavilion master’s eyes given his bit of strength.

That was because regardless of last time or this time, he had been completely unable to resist when the pavilion master brought him to this miniature world.

“Jian Chen, why have you come specially to look for me this time? If you want me to stand forward and assist the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, you can forget about it. The teachings of our Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets is to not contend with others. We will not become involved in various feuds,” the pavilion master said slowly.

“Please don’t worry, pavilion master. I am obviously aware of the rules of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets,” Jian Chen said before he continued, “I want to hold a post in the Observance Heaven City. I wanted to ask if the pavilion master has any ideas? I can’t afford to wait for the next change of posts for the Observance Heaven City.”

“You want a post in the Observance Heaven City? You must be after the Stainless Qi.” The pavilion master immediately saw through Jian Chen’s intentions. “The Stainless Qi is produced by the Observance Heaven City. It is also because of the Stainless Qi’s existence that the Observance Heaven City is renowned, drawing over experts from across the Immortals’ World that are willing to shed blood for a post.”

“That’s because only those who hold a post in the Observance Heaven City have a certain chance at obtaining the Stainless Qi. The energy is extremely special. Once it’s produced, it cannot last for longer than three years unless Grand Exalts personally take action, nor can it be taken out of the Observance Heaven City.”

“As a result, it is virtually impossible to find Stainless Qi in the outside world.”
