With what the Blood-clothed Saint Monarch said, all the peak experts present immediately looked towards the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, Yi Xin.
A minority of these gazes were stern or even filled with surprise.
Clearly, even after what the Dao Heaven Saint Monarch had said, the people present were not completely convinced.
It was far too absurd.
The first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng basked in hazy light. Just like the seven Saint Monarchs, her figure was obscured and hidden from view.
The Blood-clothed Saint Monarch’s question left Yi Xin in a long period of silence. She did not answer.
Her silence did not mean she was avoiding the question. In reality, with her status as well as the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng’s strength, even if the entire Saints’ World fell apart, it could not shake the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.
She remained silent because she recalled everything that occurred in the past involving Jian Chen.
Jian Chen had returned the Anatta Tower.
Ming Dong, who had already become his sworn brother in the lower world, became her master’s ninth disciple.
And recently, in order to save fairy Hao Yue, Jian Chen personally walked the Bridge of Life and Death.
On top of that, the most important part was something she had learnt from the artifact spirit of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng afterwards. She learnt that Fairy Hao Yue had been sent to the Land of Origins.
The Land of Origins was a special place of cultivation that only the direct disciples of her master could enter.
And, even direct disciples were strictly limited on their number of entries and the amount of time they spent there.
Fairy Hao Yue was an outsider who had made no contributions whatsoever to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, so what gave her the right to enter the Land of Origins?
Yi Xin was unable to understand why no matter how she thought about it, but now, she had vaguely guessed something.
“Master has known Jian Chen’s true identity right from the beginning…” Everything immediately became clear to the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, but afterwards, she suddenly thought of how her master comprehended the Way of Love, which immediately made the hazy light around her shake violently. Even her presence became rather disorderly.
In a daze, she seemed to think of something absolutely inconceivable. She even became rather stupefied.
“Yi Xin, is what Dao Heaven said true or not? Is the ninth majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng really a sworn brother of that old bastard Violet Clouds’ successor?” asked another Saint Monarch. His voice was old, but it was filled with an irrefutable sense for firmness.
He was the Inexertive Saint Monarch of the Returnance clan.
Clearly, they all placed great significance on this matter. If Jian Chen was only the leader of the Tian Yuan clan, then anyone present could trample over him easily. They were not concerned about the Martial Soul lineage either.
However, once a direct disciple of a sovereign became involved, then it would be entirely different.
In particular, this sovereign was the Anatta Grand Exalt who had comprehended four complete ways so far, well beyond anyone in the Saints’ World’s reach!
As a result, they could not afford to be careless.
“It’s true,” Yi Xin said gently. Her tone was very mixed, even trembling slightly. Clearly, her emotions were going through a tremendous upheaval.
After receiving confirmation, the expressions of all of the experts present immediately changed. However, Yi Xin’s next words left them even more afraid to act recklessly.
“Master probably found out about his identity a long time ago. This is master’s matter. As a disciple, it’s not something I should interfere with,” said Yi Xin.
For a moment, the surroundings descended into silence.
“Nine Brilliance Star Lord, one of your disciples in the past was killed by an expert of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Now that the successor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is here, shouldn’t you avenge your disciple?” said an old man with peppered hair. He was an Eighth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, also a supreme expert of the Saints’ World who had retired from public view as a hermit.
Immediately, many people looked towards the Nine Brilliance Star Lord. After all, he was the Bloodtear Grand Exalt’s disciple. Coupled with his great strength, his status was even greater than the Saint Monarchs.
However, with a flash, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord retreated to several kilometres away. He crossed his legs leisurely and smiled indifferently. “You want me to kill Jian Chen? Hehe, I’m not that bold. Everyone, I’m just here for the show. You’re welcome to do whatever you please.”
The hearts of the experts present immediately sank slightly when they saw how the Nine Brilliance Star Lord had backed away and how cautiously he behaved. They had already realised that this matter was far more complicated than it seemed on the surface.
At this moment, the ways of the Saints’ World shook. The three thousand laws suffered from interference, immediately becoming disorderly.
In an extremely distant region of space, the world boundary split open as three dazzling figures returned from the space beyond the world. They were far too powerful, such that their presences shook up the entire world, even influencing the order of the world, making the ways ripple.
The three figures were the Anatta Grand Exalt, the Overarching Heaven Grand Exalt, and the Bloodtear Grand Exalt.
They had already repelled the sovereigns of the Immortals’ World, returning to the Saints’ World.
However, apart from the Anatta Grand Exalt, the presences of the other two were rather disorderly.
However, as soon as the three sovereigns returned to the Saints’ World, the presence belonging to Anatta Grand Exalt in the centre immediately became disorderly. The dazzling glow of the ways around him fluctuated violently, almost collapsing directly.
“Anatta, w-what’s wrong with you?”
Anatta’s anomaly immediately surprised Bloodtear and Overarching Heavens. In the battle beyond the world, the Anatta Grand Exalt had demonstrated extraordinary battle prowess with his four ways, overwhelming Daowei Fatian who wielded the Book of the Populace and the Samsaric Grand Exalt, completely gaining the upper hand. He did not suffer any wounds either.
Instead, Overarching and Bloodtear were the two who fought the most strenuously. It had been particularly intense against the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound and Myriad Ghosts.
The Anatta Grand Exalt said nothing. The glow around him pulsed violently as his presence became particularly disorderly.
Suddenly, the Overarching Heavens Grand Exalt seemed to sense something. His presence changed, and he said sternly, “It’s the presence of the Azulet twin swords. Sure enough, the experts of the Immortals’ World kept us busy outside the world in an attempt to plant a person in our world.”
With that, the Overarching Heavens Grand Exalt vanished instantly. As a Grand Exalt, he was an embodiment of the heavenly ways, so he could descend anywhere in the Saints’ World with a single thought.
As a result, in just a single moment, the Overarching Heavens Grand Exalt had crossed the tremendous distance and arrived before Jian Chen instantly.
As soon as the Overarching Heavens Grand Exalt arrived, a blood-red figure silently appeared as well. The Bloodtear Grand Exalt had teleported over too.
“Greetings, Ovearching Heavens Grand Exalt! Greetings, Bloodtear Grand Exalt!”
With the two sovereigns’ arrival, all of the experts gathered there, including the seven great Saint Monarchs, bowed in respect.
“Greetings, senior Overarching Heavens, senior Bloodtear!” Yi Xin also bowed.
“It’s actually that old crook Violet Heavens’ successor!” The Overarching Grand Exalt did not acknowledge them. He was wrapped in the glow of the ways, such that only a blurry figure was visible. His sharp eyes were fixed on Jian Chen like swords.
“You’re not old, yet you’ve managed to reach such a cultivation. Are you that old crook’s successor or that old crook’s reincarnation?” The Overarching Heavens Grand Exalt’s voice was extremely cold, filled with bone-chilling frigidness.
In the past, the master of the twin swords had killed far too many experts of the Saints’ World, so many people in the Saints' World hated him to the bone.
“Overarching Heavens Grand Exalt, please make the decision for us.”
“Even we can’t find anything regarding this person through peering into fate. Senior Overarching Heavens, it’s extremely likely for this person to be a reincarnation of the old bastard.”
“There is a large quantity of Xuanhuang treasures stored in his soul, as well as part of a sovereign’s remains. No one would believe that he’s not the old bastard’s reincarnation seeing how he managed to obtain all these treasures.”
......
…
The experts in outer space all spoke up. Their cultivations were far too high, and they were skilled in various secret techniques. They were exceptional in ability, so they basically saw through all of the secrets on Jian Chen with a single glance. He could not even hide the space in his soul from them.
The bloody aura around the Bloodtear Grand Exalt surged. He stood silently beside the Overarching Heavens Grand Exalt and said nothing.
The Overarching Heavens Grand Exalt’s eyes became even colder. “Hmph, it doesn’t matter whether you’re a successor or a reincarnation. You won’t be getting out of here alive…”
