In the past, the space within the World of Grand Clarity was extremely stable. It was an extremely high-level world, but it had become much more fragile after so many years.

Jian Chen erased his presence carefully. This was his second visit to the World of Grand Clarity. When he first came here, he was merely a Godking. He could face off against Infinite Primes in battle at most.

Yet now, he had already become a Chaotic Prime.

Now, he could sense how fragile the World of Grand Clarity was even more clearly. Perhaps the world could endure the attacks of Infinite Primes barely, but it would perhaps forcefully collapse once Chaotic Primes began fighting here.

“The Primeval Divine Hall isn’t located in the World of Grand Clarity, but this is definitely the place closest to the Primeval Divine Hall.” Standing in the World of Grand Clearity, Jian Chen was a little worried and uneasy. “I can only hope that a miracle will happen here now.”

If he wanted to visit the Primeval Divine Hall, he needed it to draw him over, or it was impossible for Jian Chen to locate it with his current powers.

The imprint that the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall had left on him was said to open a gate that led to it, but in reality, it was only an imprint to convey information.

As long as he activated the imprint using the special method prescribed, the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall would sense it and use it as an anchor to draw him over through the powers of the divine hall.

Yet now, after activating the imprint, the Primeval Divine Hall never came to collect him, which left Jian Chen extremely worried.

He felt both worried and anxious.

“I’ve gone to such great lengths to collect these ten droplets of a Grand Exalt’s essence blood. Now that I’m on the cusp of success, I can’t let anything go wrong,” Jian Chen murmured. He had already communicated with the sword spirits secretly, worried that the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall was crafty, attempting to deceive him.

However, the sword spirits placed great trust in the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall.

That brought Jian Chen some comfort.

“Master, you don’t have to worry too much. Perhaps the Primeval Divine Hall has encountered some kind of temporary problem and is unable to answer your call. After all, it’s constantly been trapped by the Dao Union Saint’s curse. What it’s going through is nowhere near as simple as what we see on the surface,” the sword spirits communicated, comforting him.

At this moment, there was a flash. Donglin Yanxue emerged from the spatial gate that was about to close. She glided through the air and landed before Jian Chen easily.

“Why have you come in?”

Donglin Yanxue’s appearance interrupted Jian Chen’s thoughts. He stared at her alluring face and furrowed his brows.

Donglin Yanxue was slender in shape, standing there gracefully. She gave off a holy beauty as a gentle, white glow rose up from her body. She was sacred and noble, someone that seemed inviolable.

She tidied her rather messy hair and stared at Jian Chen, grumbling unhappily, “So what? You don’t want me here?”

“I’ve come here because I have business to deal with. I’m not here to play,” Jian Chen said in a rather troubled manner.

“I know. With your current strength and status, you wouldn’t come to the World of Moon and Star for nothing. But don’t worry, I’m just here to take a look around. I won’t get in your way,” said Donglin Yanxue.

Jian Chen said nothing. In reality, he did not pay any attention to Donglin Yanxue. His mind was filled with the matter regarding the Primeval Divine Hall.

He had used the secret technique from the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall to activate the imprint again secretly, but he still did not receive any reply.

The World of Grand Clarity was the closest to the Primeval Divine Hall. It was obviously countless times easier for the Primeval Divine Hall to take him over from here than from the outside world. After all, the World of Grand Clarity had basically been created by the master of the Primeval Divine Hall.

If there was no response even inside the World of Grand Clarity, then Jian Chen really was rather powerless.

“All I can do now is wait against my will,” Jian Chen sighed inside. He had considered leaving here, but he could not bring himself to do something like that.

“Jian Chen, where are you going next?” Donglin Yanxue asked. Her eyes were filled with curiosity. She completely understood the World of Moon and Star. There did not seem to be anything special about it.

“Don’t know!” Jian Chen replied softly. Ever since he arrived in the World of Moon and Star, he really had no idea where he should go.

He started to stride off. The earth seemed to shrink under his feet, such that he instantly ventured off into the distance, covering tens of thousand kilometres immediately.

White light flashed around Donglin Yanxue, and she used her strength as a Radiant Godking to turn into a streak of white light and follow along.

Jian Chen did not move quickly, so Donglin Yanxue just happened to be able to keep up.

“When we entered the World of Moon and Star last time, you were just my retainer, yet in the blink of an eye, not only are you now in control of a reputed clan, but you’re even a member of the imperial clan of all Hallowed Saint Masters.” Donglin Yanxue followed beside Jian Chen. She would look at the surrounding scenery that would flash past from time to time while staring at Jian Chen’s resolute face. Her gaze was slightly lost, filled with some hints of memories as well as a faint tenderness.

Jian Chen said nothing, like his mind was elsewhere. Clearly, there were other things weighing on his mind.

Before long, Jian Chen appeared at the top of a towering mountain. He stood on the edge of the cliff, gazing into the expanse of clouds in a daze.

The World of Grand Clarity was not large. With his strength, he covered most of the world very soon. He even tried activating the imprint in different places, but he still received no reply.

Donglin Yanxue stood beside Jian Chen. She used the Laws of the Hallowed to keep up with him, such that the white light around her shone even more brightly. Bathing in the white light, she seemed even more holy and beautiful.

“The protector swords were transformed from the nine great retainers who all served the imperial clan. You’re now a member of the imperial clan, while I’ve inherited a protector sword.” Donglin Yanxue gazed at Jian Chen beside her as her eyes rippled. Afterwards, she giggled away. “Jian Chen, why don’t I become your retainer instead?”

Jian Chen glanced at Donglin Yanxue when he heard that. He said, “You’re the young miss of the Donglin clan. With your status, being reduced to a retainer would be humiliating for you.”

“But I’m willing, and I find it to be an honour.” Donglin Yanxue smiled. She seemed like she was joking, but her eyes were filled with seriousness.

Jian Chen stared straight at her. After a moment of silence, he said, “If you want to become a retainer of the Martial Soul lineage, it’s not impossible. It’s enough as long as my other seniors from the Martial Soul lineage acknowledge you. However, if you want to become my retainer, then there’s absolutely no benefit to you. It might even harm the Donglin clan behind you.”

“Look at you. If you don’t want me to, just say so. You make it sound like you’re a source of misfortune.” Donglin Yanxue was rather disappointed.

“I’m not lying to you. Everything I’ve said is true, as I will become the enemy of the public one day, and I have a strong feeling that that day won’t be far,” Jian Chen said gently. He would have to return to the Immortals’ World one day, and with the increase in his strength, that day was getting closer and closer too.

Of course, he had to possess a sovereign god artifact first!

Jian Chen left Donglin Yanxue completely perplexed with that, but she did not ask any further as a sensible person. After a moment of silence, she said glumly, “Can you just accompany me around the World of Moon and Star? I want to go down the same path as we did back then and admire the scenery we saw again. I wish to revisit the past.”

“Alright!” Jian Chen agreed. The Primeval Divine Hall did not answer him, so he had nothing better to do in this place. It was not impossible for him to fulfil Donglin Yanxue’s wish.

Afterwards, Jian Chen and Dongling Yanxue travelled together. The two of them slowed down and wandered through the World of Moon and Star aimlessly, travelling along the same path they had travelled in the past and traversing every single mountain and river they had traversed in the past. They even visited many places they had not visited before.

That period of time was definitely the happiest, most relaxing as well as most peaceful period of time in the past few centuries for Donglin Yanxue. She left behind her laughter and her smiles in many places throughout the World of Moon and Star, as well as her tracks of happiness.

Even though she never made any close contact with Jian Chen, just being able to accompany him normally was her greatest source of happiness.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. On that day, Jian Chen seemed to sense something as he accompanied Donglin Yanxue. He suddenly gazed into the distance.

A great mist appeared on the horizon. The mist spread towards Jian Chen extremely quickly.

Jian Chen’s eyes immediately lit up when he saw the mist. He became filled with great joy. Even though a gate directly leading to the Primeval Divine Hall never appeared, he could tell with a single glance that the mist was basically here to collect him.

“It’s time for me to go!” he said gently to Donglin Yanxue.

Donglin Yanxue also stared at the mist in the distance. She was rather dejected, saying glumly, “I just knew you came to the World of Moon and Star for it. Sigh, I sure hope we could return to back then.”

The mist surged over vigorously, swallowing the sky and earth. It spread extremely quickly, engulfing Jian Chen and Donglin Yanxue instantly.

Resplendent light shone from Donglin Yanxue. The protector sword emitted a hint of its power, enveloping her. It did not damage the World of Moon and Star, but it managed to protect Donglin Yanxue.

In the mist, Donglin Yanxue did not faint like last time. However, she did lose all of her senses, unable to sense anything.

Very soon, as the mist dispersed, Donglin Yanxue’s field of vision cleared up again, but Jian Chen was already gone.
