Chapter 2225: The Cosmic Formation of the Fire-purifying Lotus
“Little junior brother, what is wrong with you recently? Why are you always frowning? If there’s anything bothering you, you can tell me, your senior. I might be able to help you,” Bai Yu whispered in Jian Chen’s ear. There was a refreshing fragrance on her body. Her voice was filled with concern.
Even Han Xin managed to tell that someone was off with Jian Chen. He asked a few simple questions and did not probe into the matter anymore.
Zhuo Feng remained as cold as before, paying no attention to Jian Chen.
Finally, the three days passed. On that day, Jian Chen purposefully asked for a day off and did not go to the mountain top. He stood outside his dwelling, waiting for Mo Tianyun’s arrival quietly.
“Junior, junior, so your dwelling is here. I finally found you. Look at you. Of all the places you could choose for a dwelling, you chose such a remote place, making me spend so much time to find you. And why is it so messy here? There are weeds and bushes everywhere. How can a place like this be a dwelling?” At this moment, Bai Yu flew over from afar slowly whilst being enveloped by Radiant Saint Force.
“Little junior sister, why have you come?” Jian Chen frowned as he looked at Bai Yu who stood before him.
Bai Yu wrinkled her nose in displeasure. She snorted, “What little junior sister? You should be saying senior sister. I’ve said it in the past. Before your strength has surpassed mine, you’re not allowed to call me your little junior sister.”
Bai Yu made her way around Jian Chen and stared at him with her large, bright eyes. She said, “Little junior brother, you have been abnormal in the past few days, and you didn’t even go to teacher’s class. I worry for you, so I specially came to see you.”
“Thank you for your concern, junior sister, but I’m fine. I plan on entering seclusion, so please return,” said Jian Chen before turning around and entering his dwelling. He activated the protective formation and locked Bai Yu outside.
He constantly worried about Xiao Ling, so he was in no mood to talk to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu stood outside the dwelling and looked at the entrance that had been enveloped by formations. She pouted with much displeasure as she grumbled quietly, “So much for my kind intentions. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come to see you.”
Once Bai Yu left, Mo Tianyun appeared silently where she was before. With a flash, he passed through Jian Chen’s low-level formations and entered the dwelling.
“Senior Mo Tianyun, can we set off now?” Jian Chen immediately gathered his focus when he saw Mo Tianyun.
“The more time we waste, the more danger Xiao Ling will be in. Let’s not tarry and set off right now,” said Mo Tianyun. He grabbed Jian Chen’s shoulder with one hand while a simple talisman appeared in the other. After activating the talisman, an energy for teleportation immediately surged out and wrapped around them, causing them to vanish.
When Jian Chen reappeared, he had arrived in a large expanse of outer space. He knew he had left the Desolate Plane now, but he had no idea just how far away he was.
“Is senior Mo Tianyun’s original body trapped here?” Jian Chen thought. The light in his eyes flickered as he studied every inch of the space there, but he failed to find anything in the end.
At this moment, the space near them suddenly distorted, and a huge spatial crack suddenly ripped open. Under Jian Chen’s watch, a meteor actually flew out.
Jian Chen’s eyes suddenly narrowed when he saw the meteor because an old man with a sword on his back sat on it.
Even though the old man seemed simple, giving off no presence, Jian Chen felt him radiate with a great sense of threat.
Unsurprisingly, this person was the Solitary Sword Ancestor.
However, Jian Chen had only heard of the Solitary Sword Ancestor before. He had never seen him, so he failed to recognise him.
“Do the three successors satisfy you?” Mo Tianyun looked at the Solitary Sword Ancestor seated on the meteor and asked calmly.
The Solitary Sword Ancestor’s face was bright as he was in high spirits. He was clearly extremely happy. He said in delight, “I’m satisfied. I’m satisfied alright. I’m completely satisfied. I owe you a huge favour for this.”
“You’ll be able to return this favour very soon,” Mo Tianyun smiled indifferently. Afterwards, he formed a seal with a hand and struck it towards the space before him.
Immediately, the calm space began to distort heavily, forming a spatial gate that was several hundred meters across.
“Let’s go in,” Mo Tianyun called to the Solitary Sword Ancestors before striding in with Jian Chen.
There was a region of complete void on the other side of the spatial gate. There were no stars and no light. There was only darkness that stretched as far as the eyes could see.
The Solitary Sword Ancestor got off his meteor and crossed the distance with a single step. He studied the surroundings and said, “I never would have thought that such a tough miniature world would be hidden here. If I didn’t look carefully, I really would have struggled to discover its existence.”
The Solitary Sword Ancestor looked at Mo Tianyun and said, “Is this where your original body is trapped?”
Mo Tianyun nodded. He pointed ahead and said, “You must have sensed the invisible wall up ahead. The invisible wall has formed a tough obstacle that keeps my original body trapped. I only need you to destroy the wall.”
Jian Chen also looked in front, but he failed to discover anything. Even when he used the senses of his soul, he still found nothing.
“It looks like this invisible wall can’t be discovered without a certain level of strength,” thought Jian Chen.
“This invisible wall is as tough as a medium quality god artifact. With the strength of your original body, getting through this invisible wall is nothing difficult. Why do you need my help?” The Solitary Sword Ancestor studied the invisible wall for a while before asking out of doubt.
“It’s not a simple as you think it is. Do it,” Mo Tianyun backed up with Jian Chen, pulling very far away from the Solitary Sword Ancestor.
The Solitary Sword Ancestor nodded slowly. In the next moment, an extremely powerful sword intent flooded out from his body. The simple sword on his back shone with dazzling light, illuminating the surroundings and purging the darkness like the sun.
The Solitary Sword Ancestor wielded the sword and directly stabbed out.
The stab was like a streak of light, seemingly skewering the entire region of space. It struck the invisible wall up ahead with terrifying force.
“That’s the power of the major achievement of Sword Sage. Pay close attention,” Mo Tianyun said to Jian Chen softly as he looked at the Solitary Sword Ancestor.
“An expert who has reached the major achievement of Sword Sage?” Jian Chen was extremely shocked when he heard that. He stared at the old man before him and asked, “Senior Mo Tianyun, who is he?”
“He’s the Solitary Sword Ancestor who has been searching for you, but he won’t be causing any problems for you in the future,” Mo Tianyun said easily.
At this moment, there was a deafening boom, and with that, scorching flames leaked out, dyeing the entire region of darkness red.
The invisible wall shattered from the Solitary Sword Ancestor’s attack, but behind the invisible wall, there were flames that burned for all of eternity. They seemed to be able to burn space itself, radiating with terrifying heat.
The Solitary Sword Ancestor’s face changed when he saw the flames. Immediately, he became much sterner than he had ever been and growled, “This is the Flame Reverend’s Cosmic Formation of the Fire-purifying Lotus. Have you been trapped by the Flame Reverend Grand Prime’s Cosmic Formation of the Fire-purifying Lotus?”
“That’s right. I’ve been trapped here for tens of thousands of years now, but the person maintaining the formation isn’t the Flame Reverend,” said Mo Tianyun.
The Solitary Sword Ancestor was stern. He stared deeply at the dazzling, raging fire and said sternly, “If it really was the Flame Reverend, you would not have been able to last until now. However, the Cosmic Formation of the Fire-purifying Lotus is not something I can destroy.”
“Just leave what is next to us,” said Mo Tianyun before making a gesture to invite the Solitary Sword Ancestor to leave.
The Solitary Sword Ancestor knew that Mo Tianyun did not want him to see what happened next, so he did not hesitate either. He nodded and glanced at Jian Chen deeply before leaving.
