Chapter 3197: Feng Xue’s Assassination Attempt
“What did you say, sister? The power that even you find to be extremely great was actually protecting two souls?” The Snow Goddess was extremely shocked.
The Ice Goddess nodded. “However, it only appeared for an instant before vanishing completely when it escorted the two souls. It is like it only descended here to protect the two souls.”
When she reached there, the Ice Goddess became stern. “Those two souls actually require the escorting of such a great power, so they must be of extraordinary origins.”
“Sister, you’ve stayed in this world as a reincarnation before, so you should be extremely familiar with the situation here. Did someone impressive ever appear in the past ninety thousand years?”
When she heard that, the Snow Goddess’s gaze fluctuated slightly. She said slowly, “Ninety thousand years ago? Two people of startling talent did appear in the past. One of them was Jian Chen, who is connected to my reincarnation by blood, while the other is Shen Jian of the Spiritsages.”
“Not them. I’ve discovered the traces of the twin swords in this world. They arrived here over two thousand years ago, while the deceased soul of Shen Jian was brought here accidentally under the influence of the sword spirits’ power.”
“As for Jian Chen’s soul… he is a little special. I haven’t been able to find anything, but I’m guessing he arrived in this world with the sword spirits.” The Ice Goddess paused momentarily before continuing, “I can vaguely sense that the two souls escorted by the power are yin and yang. Jian Chen and Shen Jian are both yang souls, so that doesn’t match.”
“A yin and a yang soul? Then it’s a man and a woman.” The Snow Goddess sank into her thoughts as if she was recalling the past. In the end, she shook her head gently. “In the past hundred thousand years, there have been no other startling geniuses apart from Jian Chen and Shen Jian in my memories. Sister, are you unable to see who the souls are?”
“The power has erased everything, and it has rewritten the laws of this world. It’s impossible to peer into it, to turn back time, much less understand who it was. The mysterious power seemed to possess a certain level of intelligence. It intentionally concealed the two souls, such that even sovereigns of the world are powerless.”
After a moment of thought, the Ice Goddess said slowly, “Neither you nor Shui Yunlan discovered any startling prodigies during the past ninety thousand years, so there can only be two explanations.”
“The first is that the two souls are still wandering the void. They haven’t formally reincarnated yet.”
“The second is they’ve already reincarnated successfully, except they’ve hidden themselves extremely well and still haven’t exposed themselves to this day. Perhaps they’ve already left this world.”
“However, regardless of the situation, we need to pay close attention to this world…”
The Darkstar World.
Spring and autumn came and went. In the blink of an eye, it had already been several years.
Bang! Bang! Bang…
Several Godkings were locked in an intense battle on the spacious square in the Darkstar Divine Hall. They all used their laws and unleashed a series of secret techniques and battle skills like they were fighting to the death.
Over a hundred Godkings stood on the edge of the square, watching the battle seriously. They would sometimes glance past the fighting Godkings in the centre of the square and look at the young man in white seated in the air behind the square.
However, without any exception, they all showed reverence from the bottom of their hearts uncontrollably when they saw the young man.
The young man was a terrifying existence that the entire race had worked together to try and kill. He was an invincible expert that was even more powerful than the Darkstar Emperor.
In a special place like the Darkstar World, someone like him was basically akin to a god!
“I’m over a thousand years old. That’s not particularly old in the Saints’ World. It can even be considered as the beginning, but I’ve already lost the opportunity to enter the Darkstar World again.” At this moment, Jian Chen opened his eyes slowly as he hovered in the air. He seemed slightly exhausted.
Over the past few years, he used the members of the Darkstar race that tested the pills as a medium to constantly study the effects of high grade Godking pills. Under the constant examination at such a fervent rate, he could not help but feel tired even when he had already reached Chaotic Prime.
Any of the calculations and deductions he performed was an extremely energy-consuming task. If it were over a short period of time, then so be it, but even Grand Primes would find it unbearable over long periods of time, let alone Chaotic Primes.
“How is it? Have you discovered any issues?” The Darkstar Emperor appeared in front of Jian Chen and stared at him in a rather strange manner.
Over the years, the Darkstar Emperor had developed a strange impression that he had switched his identity with Jian Chen, where Jian Chen was the true emperor of the Darkstar race, while he was the outsider.
That was because over the past few years, Jian Chen actually cared about the people that ingested the pills even more than he, the emperor, did. He actually went to such great lengths to study the effects continuously over several years without stopping.
Jian Chen shook his head and said, “I’ve carried out a large number of calculations, and I’ve looked into the future. I’ve peered into the fates behind some of them, but I haven’t discovered any issues for the time being.”
“In other words, I can distribute the high grade Godking pills for now?” the Darkstar Emperor asked. His cultivation was below Jian Chen’s, so he obviously did not understand the high grade Godking pills as well.
Jian Chen nodded and said, “Get ten thousand more Godkings for your race for now, and then precisely calculate just how much strength you need before you can open the altar. I’ll see if I can find a way to deal with what comes next.”
Afterwards, the Darkstar Emperor immediately began to sort through his entire race, preparing to bestow them with high grade Godking pills. He could see that in just a few months, almost ten thousand Godking experts would be born in the Darkstar race.
As the Darkstar race nurtured the Godkings, Jian Chen did not idle around either. He left the capital city alone and sat atop a mountain with his eyes shut like he was cultivating.
He maintained that state for several years.
Suddenly, a tremendous presence erupted from Jian Chen, flooding the surroundings and overwhelming everything.
A terrifying sword intent filled the area.
The sword intent seemed to be woven from laws. As it stretched through the surroundings, it seemed to turn that region into an independent domain.
Within the domain, there was only endless sword Qi. The slivers of origin energy that filled the surroundings and even the plants and sand on the mountains seemed to turn into countless strands of sharp sword Qi, both invisible and visible.
The domain had been turned into a world of sword Qi.
Jian Chen was clearly practising some kind of secret technique right now. He had already reached a critical juncture.
But at this moment, a black figure suddenly shot out from beyond the mountains, concealing all of her presence. She headed straight for Jian Chen with sharp killing intent that she tried to hide as much as possible.
The black figure was the tenth hall master, Feng Xue.
Her mature face that still possessed some of the beauty from her youth was twisted viciously. Her eyes shone brightly with hatred as she wielded a low quality god artifact dagger, carrying out an assassination attempt right when Jian Chen had reached a critical juncture with his cultivation.
