Chapter 3232: The Imprint Ineffective?

Jian Chen casually placed the imprint of the Way of the Sword in his soul space and set off on his way with the Laws of Space, directly making his way over to the passageway leading to the Saints’ World.

But during the return journey this time, Jian Chen noticed a strange phenomenon. Recently, there were several dozen more spaceships that entered the Spirits’ World from the Saints’ World than usual.

These spaceships all belonged to various peak organizations of the Saints’ World. They had at least two or three great elders present inside at the very least. Jian Chen even sensed the presence of Grand Primes from a few spaceships.

In the shattered Spirits’ World, due to the disorderly and incomplete laws, Grand Primes rarely set food there. They were even reluctant to stay for extended periods of time. Only the Grand Prime ancestor of the Dire Wolf clan remained stationed there for long periods of time because he was worried about any harm that could happen to the talented descendant of his clan.

But now, Jian Chen actually felt like he could encounter Grand Primes whenever he wanted now. Just on the way to the passageway, he came across at least seven or eight of them.

“Don’t tell me it’s because of the legacy of the Grand Exalt in the Burial Zone?” Jian Chen thought, but he soon set aside these thoughts. It was none of his concern. He moved off at top speed.

A few days later, he arrived near the passageway. Right when he was about to cross through, the colossal passageway right before him suddenly shook violently. A terrifying pressure spilt out from there.

Jian Chen’s expression immediately changed slightly at the sight of this. He immediately realised there was an extremely terrifying expert passing through the passageway.

It was all because he was too powerful that the passageway had responded so violently when he passed through.

“It’s a late Grand Prime at the very least!” Jian Chen was stern, backing up instinctively and keeping his distance from the passageway.

Over a minute later, a surging presence erupted from the passageway. A large figure that radiated with vital energy appeared.

With his appearance, the space in the Spirits’ World immediately began to tremble violently. In particular, large swathes of space collapsed near the passageway.

He was far too powerful, and the Spirits’ World was in a ruined state, nowhere close to its former glory. As a result, the world almost could not withstand his arrival.

But in the next moment, all of the presence and pressure radiating from the figure vanished completely. He concealed it all such that he seemed like a regular person, revealing his appearance. But in the next moment, he suddenly vanished.

“It’s the Sacred Lord of Guarding Energy!” Jian Chen recognised the person with a single glance from afar. He immediately became shocked.

Didn’t the Sacred Lord of Guarding Energy guard the end of the passageway in the Saints’ World? Why had he suddenly entered the Spirits’ World?

Jian Chen’s gaze flickered as he sank deeply into his thoughts. After stopping there for a moment, he still ended up diving head-first into the passageway, returning to the Saints’ World.

Before he entered the Primeval Divine Hall, he needed to retrieve the twin swords. The sword spirits probably understood the Primeval Divine Hall better than him.

On top of that, the twin swords could provide him with great assistance when he needed it.

Before he entered the Darkstar World, he had left the twin swords in the Tian Yuan clan, so he had to pay a visit to the Tian Yuan clan first.

In the Saints’ World, many spaceships parked near the passageway. Countless experts hovered in outer space as well, conversing with one another.

“It’s already been so many years. In my opinion, an accident has probably happened.”

“The Sacred Lord of Guarding Energy has already gone to investigate in person. I’m sure he’ll get to the bottom of it very soon.”

“In my opinion, those experts probably encountered danger and became trapped somewhere. However, with the Sacred Lord of Guarding Energy taking action, he’ll be able to deal with any problems easily no matter how great they are.”

……

…

Jian Chen heard the bits and pieces of information, which immediately intrigued him. He silently let out the senses of his soul, and he understood the rough situation very quickly.

“Many experts have gone missing in the Burial Zone? And they’ve vanished for several centuries?” Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. Suddenly, he recalled his conversation with He Qianchi several centuries ago before he entered the Darkstar World. Back then, he had already heard from He Qianchi that many experts had vanished mysteriously in the Burial Zone, but he did not take it too seriously.

He never imagined that this would actually continue to culminate even after several hundred years, even alarming the Sacred Lord of Guarding Energy such that he personally visited the Spirits’ World.

“Even if something major has happened in the Burial Zone, it’s nowhere near as important as my Primeval Divine hall.” Just like when he entered the Darkstar World, Jian Chen was not concerned by the disappearance of these experts. Instead, he continued onwards without stopping, rushing back to the Tian Yuan clan eagerly.

After several transfers through interplanar teleportation formations, Jian Chen finally returned to the Tian Yuan clan. Afterwards, the first thing he did was retrieve the twin swords from the Watercloud Hall.

After obtaining the twin swords, Jian Chen felt very excited and motivated. After waiting eagerly for all these years, he could finally obtain the Primeval Divine Hall that he had been looking forward to the entire time.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, Jian Chen noticed something. Surprise and joy filled his face. “Great-grandfather and the others have actually arrived. Big brother has actually come to the Saints’ World too.”

He immediately noticed Yang Lie and the others, including Changyang Hu. They were currently cultivating in secret rooms, enjoying the best resources that the Tian Yuan clan could offer.

“Hei Ya!” Jian Chen said softly.

Hei Ya immediately appeared behind Jian Chen. He bowed politely. “Greetings, master!”

Jian Chen smiled widely and nodded towards Hei Ya. “You’ve done well. You’ve managed to bring my great-grandfather and the others to the Tian Yuan clan safely. Here, take these three fourth grade God Tier Comprehension Tea leaves as a reward.”

Jian Chen took out three Comprehension Tea leaves and passed them to Hei Ya.

“Thank you for your reward, master!” Hei Ya beamed with joy, accepting the Comprehension Tea politely.

Afterwards, Jian Chen learnt about everything that had happened with Yang Lie and the others over the years before dismissing Hei Ya.

Yang Lie and the others’ return put Jian Chen in an extremely good mood. He originally wanted to catch up with them, but considering the fact that they were all submerged in cultivation, he did not interrupt them.

“We have plenty of time to spend together in the future anyway. I’ll visit the Primeval Divine Hall first.” With that thought in mind, Jian Chen left the Tian Yuan clan and entered outer space with a few flashes.

Finally, he found a meteor in outer space and sat down. He took out the “key” that the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall had originally given him. Then he activated it using the method that the artifact spirit had told him.

It was better described as an imprint than a key. As long as he activated the imprint through a special method, the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall would sense it before using the powers of the divine hall to open a gate to directly bring Jian Chen over.

Very soon, the imprint was activated, shining away brightly. Jian Chen could vaguely sense a special pulse being emitted from the imprint, vanishing into the depths of space.

After activating the imprint, Jian Chen sat on the meteor and began to wait patiently.

The wait lasted for several hours, but there was no response.

Half a day later, Jian Chen furrowed his brows and glanced at the imprint on the back of his hand. He could sense that something was amiss.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for the artifact spirit to go so long without sensing it.

After a slight hesitation, he used the same secret technique again, activating the imprint a second time.

The result remained exactly the same as before. He received no reply. He continued to wait where he was, but he had not been directly transported to the Primeval Divine Hall.

Jian Chen immediately communicated with the sword spirits to ask about the situation.

“Master, the imprint hasn’t become ineffective. It can directly convey information to the Primeval Divine Hall. The Primeval Divine Hall probably already knows that you’re here. It’s just that its powers never arrived,” said the sword spirits.

Jian Chen furrowed his brows heavily when he heard that. Suddenly, he experienced a bad feeling. “Don’t tell me something has happened to the Primeval Divine Hall?”

As soon as he thought of that possibility, Jian Chen’s heart immediately tightened. He did not have the patience to wait here any longer. The Laws of Space pulsed, and he rushed back to the Cloud Plane as quickly as he could. Then he left through the interplanar teleportation formations there.

After several transfers, Jian Chen set foot on the Desolate Plane once more.
