Chapter 3421: Mu’er Returns
The seven golden core of laws had been left behind by the seven experts underground on the Desolate Plane, which represented the Laws of Curses, the Laws of Corrosion, the Laws of Strength, the Laws of Creation, the Laws of Space, the Laws of Fire, and the Laws of Destruction.
If completely absorbed, each golden core of laws could easily make a person break through to Infinite Prime.
Without any exaggeration, any one of the seven golden cores of laws was a colossal opportunity that cultivators below the Primordial realm could only dream of.
Of course, behind this colossal opportunity also hid unknown dangers.
“Out of the seven golden cores of laws, the spatial golden core of laws is already useless to me because my Laws of Space have already reached the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime. Moreover, since I have the beast soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor, as long as my soul continues to strengthen, the residual power in the beast soul will be enough to push my Laws of Space up to the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime at the very least.”
“However, I don’t know if I can break through to Grand Prime as a successor of the Martial Soul lineage.” Jian Chen gradually entered a state of cultivation with a hint of worry.
This time, he did not cultivate his Martial Soul Force. Instead, he absorbed the power of the seven golden cores of laws.
This time, he planned on absorbing all seven golden cores of laws in one fell stroke while he had ample time so that his Laws of Curses, Laws of Strength, Laws of Creation, Laws of Fire, and Laws of Destruction all broke through to Infinite Prime.
......
…
In the Pingtian Empire in the southern region of the Cloud Plane, a woman with unparalleled beauty in a violet dress stared at the Dong’an province in a daze. Her blank eyes were fixed on a bottomless pit. Before she knew it, she had already become icy-cold all over. Her body stiffened.
“W-what exactly happened here? W-why is the Dong’an province gone?” the woman in violet said with a trembling voice. Her beautiful face had already become pale-white.
The situation before her immediately made her think of the worst-case scenario.
She was Shangguan Mu’er. She had only just returned from the ruined Gods’ World. As soon as she reached the Saints’ World, she constantly transferred between interplanar teleportation formations to rush back to the southern region of the Cloud Plane.
Yet a sight like this lay before her.
The originally bustling Dong’an province had completely vanished. A colossal abyss of unknown depths had replaced it.
This sight was like a bombshell to Shangguan Mu’er. Her mind almost gave way.
Suddenly, Shangguan Mu’er extended the senses of her soul and instantly enveloped the entire Pingtian Empire. Soon, she noticed something and vanished immediately.
As the emperor of the place, Mo Xingfeng managed the affairs of the empire in a hall in the imperial palace of the Pingtian Empire. An entire court of officials and generals stood beneath him.
Suddenly, a tremendous presence enveloped the entire imperial palace, squeezing the breaths out of everyone’s lungs.
Shangguan Mu’er abruptly appeared in the glorious hall. Her face was frosty as she stared straight at Mo Xingfeng who sat on the throne. She asked coldly, “Where is the Dong’an province? Why is the Dong’an province gone? What exactly happened here?”
Figures flickered through the hall as four Primordial realm experts appeared. They behaved like they were facing a great enemy because the presence that Shangguan Mu’er gave off right now was so powerful that it made their hearts lurch.
“Hmm? It’s madam Shangguan!”
“It’s actually madam Shangguan. What a fright, what a fright.”
However, the four Infinite Primes soon recognised Shangguan Mu’er and let out a sigh of relief.
“Lady Mu’er, you’ve finally returned.” The emperor of the Pingtian Empire, Mo Xingfeng, made his way off the throne. He looked at Shangguan Mu’er with mixed feelings. After cupping his hands slightly, he said, “Lady Mu’er, you don’t have to worry about the Dong’an province. The Dong’an province is doing well right now, except it’s no longer on our Cloud Plane. Instead, it has gone to the Prosper Plane.”
“What did you say? The Dong’an province has gone to the Prosper Plane?” Shangguan Mu’er became doubtful after hearing that.
“A supreme expert took the Dong’an province away from very far away. The Dong’an province is indeed on the Prosper Plane right now, and they are enjoying an extraordinary status. The Tian Yuan clan is doing well too,” said Mo Xingfeng.
“In other words, Jian Chen has gone to the Prosper Plane as well?” Shangguan Mu’er withdrew her presence slowly.
As soon as she mentioned Jian Chen, Mo Xingfeng and the four experts all became filled with mixed feelings. Mo Xingfeng sighed gently. “It’s already been a very long time since Jian Chen has returned to the Cloud Plane. There has been some rumours regarding Jian Chen in the Saints’ World as well. There are both good and bad rumours, but we can’t distinguish which are real and which are fake with our feeble strength.”
“Lady Mu’er, you can go to the Prosper Plane. The Dong’an province and the Tian Yuan clan are both there. The Tian Yuan clan knows much more about the precise news regarding Jian Chen.” Mo Xingfeng did not have the courage to tell Shangguan Mu’er that Jian Chen was already dead.
Shangguan Mu’er left without uttering another word. She did not remain on the Cloud Plane for much longer. Instead, she directly took the interplanar teleportation formation in the southern region to the Prosper Plane.
The Tian Yuan clan was very famous on the Prosper Plane. As soon as Shangguan Mu’er made it onto the Prosper Plane, she learnt their precise location very easily.
Before long, she vanished into the Tian Yuan clan in the Dong’an province.
However, soon after she entered, she flew out of the Tian Yuan clan again with a tottering figure. Her face was sheet-white; she seemed devastated. Her eyes were filled with deep grief and disbelief.
“Impossible, this is impossible. How could Jian Chen die? His life was so tough. How could he just depart so easily?” Shangguan Mu’er murmured. She was extremely sorrowful as tears poured down her cheeks.
Suddenly, she let out a shrill scream. She seemed to go insane, rushing into outer space like she had lost her mind, vanishing into the depths very quickly.
Qing Yixuan, Nubis, and the others immediately chased after her from the Tian Yuan clan, but their strength was not as great as hers, so they lost track of her very soon.
Shangguan Mu’er rushed through outer space wildly and aimlessly. Even she did not know where she was going.
She did not find Shangguan Aojian during her trip to the Gods’ World this time. She did not even find any trace of him, failing to confirm whether he was safe and well.
Yet in the end, as soon as she returned to the Saints’ World, she learnt that her husband was already dead.
That was simply devastating to Shangguan Mu’er. She was deeply affected.
If it were a regular enemy, she still had a chance at revenge, but it was the Anatta Grand Exalt, which immediately extinguished all of Shangguan Mu’er’s thoughts.
In the end, Shangguan Mu’er used up all of her energy. She landed on a meteor powerlessly before staring at the sky full of stars blankly.
At this moment, a colossal shadow silently drifted over from nearby.
The colossal shadow was the Martial Soul Mountain!
