Chapter 3514: The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor
After equipping the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, Jian Chen grasped the space there and immediately entered the bustling city, arriving outside the imposing estate.
In the next moment, he directly passed through the formation without triggering any response.
It felt like he resided in a separate space, where he bypassed the powerful barrier created by the formation through the second space.
In the end, this powerful formation that could stop mid Immortal Emperors did not seem to exist at all in Jian Chen’s eyes. He passed through it with ease.
In the blink of an eye, Jian Chen arrived inside the estate. He did not take off the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, instead using its concealing abilities to move through the heavily-guarded estate freely like there was no one around.
In the end, he stopped in front of a majestic hall at the centre of the estate.
A middle-aged man sat at the front of the hall. He wore white robes and gave off a scholarly aura as he held a book in his hand and read it leisurely.
Beneath, the elder of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Nong Fugui, bent his waist slightly and stood in a bowing position.
“Senior Righteous Bearing, if you agree to help out and open the secret space left behind by the Star Clustered Ancestor for our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, we’re willing to give a third of everything that the Star Clustered Ancestor left behind to you as compensation,” elder Nong said politely.
The middle-aged man in white was a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor!
And, he was an Immortal Emperor who had grasped the Laws of Space!
The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor was unfazed. His eyes remained fixed on the book in his hands as he asked casually, “Elder Nong, you’re the oldest in terms of seniority in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. As a result, according to my understanding, you’ve met many experts in your life. As such, I’m very curious about why you came to find me of all people instead of someone else for something so important?”
“You’re far too kind, senior Righteous Bearing. During the years that the sect declined, I did indeed meet many seniors and masters due to the sect, but I don’t have any connection with them. Trying to ask a favour from them is virtually impossible.”
“And most importantly, I really don’t trust many of these seniors. If I told them about this, I might be opening my doors to trouble and make the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens lose everything,” said elder Nong.
“In other words, you trust me?” The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor moved his book aside and smiled gently. He looked at Nong Fugui and seemed extremely amicable, without any of the haughtiness of an Immortal Emperor.
Elder Nong nodded and said, “To be honest, I only decided on coming to senior Righteous Bearing for assistance after deep consideration. Among all the Immortal Emperors that I know, only senior Righteous Bearing deserves the complete trust of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”
“Everyone knows that senior Righteous Bearing possesses great integrity, is easygoing, and is amicable with everyone. Senior Righteous Bearing made a name for himself a long time ago, so you are worthy of our trust.”
“Of course, most importantly, you were sworn brothers with a great elder of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in the past, Immortal Emperor Taihang. With this important identity, if our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens still doesn’t trust the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor, then there’s probably no one we can trust in the world.”
The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor shut his book slowly. He arrived before Nong Fugui with his hands behind his back, staring at Nong Fugui with interest. “Elder Nong, since you trust me so much, I definitely won’t leave you disappointed. I agree to your request for help this time.”
When he heard that, elder Nong immediately beamed with joy. He bowed in a hurry and said, “Then I’ll thank senior Righteous Bearing as a representative of all the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”
“I’m assisting you this time not for the Star Clustered Ancestor’s resources but for my friendship with Taihang. Please return, elder Nong. Crush this jade slip when your sect has made all the preparations to open the Star Clustered Ancestor’s secret space.” The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor passed a jade slip over to elder Nong.
After accepting the jade lip, elder Nong thanked him excitedly before taking his leave.
He turned down the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s invitation to stay. Without stopping for a moment, he concealed his tracks carefully before making his way back to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
Neither elder Nong nor the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor were aware of the third person in the hall.
That person was obviously Jian Chen.
Jian Chen used the Divine Armour of Heavenflight to stand boldly in the hall, hearing their entire conversation.
“Is this person really trustworthy?” Jian Chen stared at the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor and wondered to himself.
He was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he remained in the hall and stared at the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor, wanting to see what he would do next.
But unfortunately, he did not make any discoveries. After elder Nong left, the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor returned to his throne and continued reading his book.
Jian Chen stood where he was for a very long time. However, when elder Nong was about to leave the range of the senses of his soul, he was forced to leave the estate.
Several days later, elder Nong returned to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens elusively. The direction he returned from happened to be near the Immortal Sect of Three Yang.
Despite elder Nong’s constant efforts at hiding and avoiding the range of the Immortal Emperor of Three Yang from afar, his return was still discovered by the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Three Yang, the High Yang Master.
At this moment, in the forbidden grounds behind the Immortal Sect of Three Yang, the white-haired High Yang Master snapped open his eyes as he immediately became stern. He said grimly, “This old bastard actually returned unscathed? Where is Bai Ye and Chen Yan? Why haven’t they done anything yet?”
“Don’t tell me something has happened to them?”
As soon as he reached there, the High Yang Master’s expression changed again. Shortly afterwards, he stood up and began pacing around in his secret room. His expression grew uglier. “Logically speaking, the couple should have returned a long time ago, yet even now, there’s still no news of them. Did they run into trouble along the way, or have they already… perished?”
The High Yang Master’s heart suddenly sank. In the next moment, he rushed out of the Immortal Sect of Three Yang. With a few flashes, he arrived near the neighouring Immortal Sect of Scarlet Sunset before directly entering their protective formation.
All of the core disciples assembled once again in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. Their eyes were all fixed on Chen Shuzhi and Nong Fugui.
Nong Fugui was stern. He slowly glanced past the core disciples and said, “Afterwards, I’ll teach you a formation. You have to grasp this formation as quickly as possible. As for any other information about the formation, no one is permitted to ask about it.”
“Over the next few days, you’ll all have to stay in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. No one is permitted to leave.”
This was the first time that the core disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had seen elder Nong so stern. While they struggled to adjust to it, they were also filled with surprise and curiosity.
However, as elder Nong had already warned them, all of them were clever enough to avoid any questions despite their doubts.
Afterwards, all of the core disciples were sent to a spacious room in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. Apart from Jiang Chen, they all stayed there as they comprehended the special formation that elder Nong had taught them.
